Jinghua little cook

Chapter 29

The morning bell rang, and the morning class in the temple began.

Lu Xiling sent Bean Sprout to get busy first, and then she began to chant "Amitabha" like an old monk in meditation.

Unexpectedly, the sound of the Buddha's name was heard in the Buddha's ears, and a good thing really came.

"Amitabha, you are bothering the benefactor."

The gentle voice moved from far to near, and Lu Xiling opened his eyes.

It is the Zhike monk who guides the little princess in the morning.

Lu Xiling hurriedly stood up from the chair, and performed the Buddhist ritual in a proper manner.

The Zhike monk smiled slightly.

After serving the little princess for many days, it is rare to see a benefactor with a bright smile on her face. It really makes people feel happy.

But Taoism and customs are different, men and women are different, it is not good for monks to look at Lu Xiling's face too much.

The Zhike monk withdrew his gaze and said, "The kitchen is small, can the benefactor still open it?"

This question is endless.

Lu Xiling showed her face: "It's only for making cakes, it's not as big as the ingredients used in the temple's vegetarian room, here is enough, thank you master for thinking about it."

If you want to say that you miss the Zhike monk, you can't hold it on your face.

"That's good. By the way, I just heard from benefactor Li that the benefactor's fruit shop is going to be changed to a food shop?"

Lu Xiling nodded.

"So, besides cakes, the benefactor also cooks some side dishes?" Zhike Monk's eyes lit up.

Lu Xiling still nodded her head, but she had already grasped the other party's thoughts quite closely in her heart.

My Buddha does not lie.

It's really embarrassing for monks to play business and brag about each other.

Lu Xiling couldn't help but wanted to help the other party.

"The banquet is about to come, and the craftsmanship of the small shop is not good, but it doesn't matter to be a helper."

As soon as the dispute between her and the little princess came out, Lu Xiling didn't want to get involved in cooking for the emperor.

But her attitude has already been given, and the remaining Zhigu monks don't need to ask any more questions, they only need to make a decision.

The Zhike monk saw that Lu Xiling was a measured and tempered person in the morning, but he did not expect that this person was very cautious and decent in his actions.

In this way, the Zhike monk was relieved a lot, and he became more generous in his speech.

"The benefactor misunderstood. The fashion food bureau will send a food officer to take care of the imperial banquet. The poor monk's trip to find the benefactor is really a private matter."

It’s hard to say that the abbot in the temple was greedy, so the Zhike monk made up for him and said: “In the next two days, all the officials will pay tribute, and the saint will come in person. down.

... The monks in the courtyard have to get up early and late to chant sutras on the body of the Buddha for two days. They are really suffering from hunger. If they faint on the day of the puja, it will be even more insulting to the saint. "

The guest monk pondered for a while, as if mustering up great courage, and said: "I don't know if the benefactor is willing to make some simple fasting meals for the poor monks, just for the morning class. As for the offerings, the abbot said, it is from the incense basket. Li Chu, will never wrong the benefactor."

After a long time of fuss, it's a small kitchen?

She is no stranger to this place.

Back then, when he and his cousin were placing orders in the temple, the abbot arranged a small kitchen for Lu Xiling to show off.

In the capital, Faen Temple has a wide variety of seasonal vegetables that everyone knows.

Especially when the scenery changes in spring and autumn, when nature is lovely and the ingredients are plentiful, Lu Xiling can often make different kinds of vegetarian dishes.

What vegetarian assortment, milk tea, flower cakes, seasonal fruits and vegetables.

There are also vegetarian duck feet made with tofu, vegetarian fried fish, vegetarian balls fried with shredded radish, and golden phoenix wings made with bean sprouts...

That's not all, Yinzi can do all kinds of things.

Most of them are mainly tea, or use tea as the base, add honey, sweet-scented osmanthus, cheese, etc. The tea is clear tea, there are white tea, Longjing, oolong... They are not expensive, but water is better.

The scenery in the temple changes step by step, the four seasons are distinct, and the water intake is different in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Mountain spring water is often used in spring, lotus leaf water is used in summer, sweet-scented osmanthus water is used in autumn, and plum blossom water is used by Lu Xiling in winter.

In addition, the flower water and nectar that can be seen can also be used to make tea.

Lu Xiling couldn't help looking forward to it.

Now, to hear Zhike monk boasting about the fast food in Fa'en Temple that there is nothing in the sky and nothing in the earth, Lu Xiling is quite pleased.

"My abbot said that if the almsgiver agrees, then we don't have to go outside the temple to satisfy our hunger, and we can just wait for three meals with the poor monk and enjoy the vegetarian meal."

The Zhike monk said with a smile: "Even if the cakes are ready, wait for the food monks to serve them. The benefactor only needs to stay in the garden to rest."

Lu Xiling's eyelashes flashed.

Does this mean I can hide in the backyard?How about a good meal?
I earned it!

After the matter was over, Lu Xiling was overjoyed and sent the Zhike monk to the gate of the courtyard, but when she came back, she heard that her child had lost her temper.

Bean Sprout rolled up his sleeves and said, "Why are you so happy? You never thought about what to do with our shop? This is Buddha Bathing. In a few days there will be Buddha's Nirvana Day and Bodhisattva's Birthday. If they are too busy every day , do you want us to come then? The business in the store is gone?"

Isn't that how people in the world are like this, those who have used it will use it again and again.

Is the child concerned about business?

Lu Xiling smiled and said comfortingly: "Just now, the little master has already agreed with me, only this time, in the future they will have to go out to study more, and it is not convenient to receive a large number of guests in the temple."

"Besides, if these few dishes of ours are cooked well, it might also help the store's business later on."

Bean sprouts are dubious, how can it help?The monk came out to beg for alms but didn't pay for it. A Ling clearly felt that there weren't enough freebies in the shop.

Besides, no matter how delicious vegetarian dishes are, can they be more delicious than meat?

-

Early the next morning.

The monks were satisfied and dispersed. After a busy day, my family sat in the dining hall, eating a bowl of black rice. The little girl couldn't get enough of it!

Bean Sprouts held an empty rice bowl and wondered: A Ling is sincere, and the vegetarian food tastes better than meat when it is cooked.

Lu Xiling put on a smile and said, "Wherever it is, the vegetables and fruits in the temple must be fresh~"

Both of them laughed.

After thinking about it, Lu Xiling made a decision.

Since everyone who eats snacks loves vegetarian food, the acceptance of diners in the market should not be bad.

Good news for vegetarians!

The first person to enjoy this gospel was Abbot Ci'en of Fa'en Temple.

During the banquet, the sage said some formal words as usual, and then the supervisor of the ceremonies read out the holy grace, and all the officials raised their glasses, and the banquet was considered to have begun.

Today, Abbot Ci'en of Fa'en Temple is the host, and Emperor Qing has known him for many years, so it is inevitable to have a debate with him first.

Seeing that Ci'en still refused to put down the chopsticks, Emperor Qing smiled and said: "The Taoists don't eat the five grains, but only absorb the energy of nature and the essence of the sun and the moon. Is the abbot already enlightened?"

Abbot Ci'en ate well today and was in a good mood, he didn't want to quarrel with Emperor Qing.

At least as Emperor Qing's status as the lord of a country, Ming Dou could not afford to fight.

The old abbot with a long gray beard can only compete secretly: Amitabha Buddha, who enjoys a meal on a tripod, has nothing to desire. Although a saint is high and powerful, he is not as lucky as him today.

On the face, Abbot Ci'en smiled and said: "What is enlightenment in the world's predestined relationship? Mahayana Buddhism is nothing more than a piece of shit."

"What a shit peg!" Emperor Qing clapped his hands and laughed.

From the corner of the eye, he glanced at the four children sitting close to each other under the platform.

I couldn't help but sigh: so what if I become an emperor?It's fine if all the people in the world don't worry about it, but the children and grandchildren also make him worry about it?
Why the throne?Dry shit!
