The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

The Buddhist monks of Daxiangguo Temple succeeded and officially had an establishment, which made the monks in the establishment very happy.

These monks, in addition to reciting the sutras very early every day, because the various industries in the temple include fields, such as vegetable gardens and orchards, a considerable part of them have to be cultivated by themselves. The monk is not so leisurely.

If you become a vulgar monk, you will have another job just like those monks who are assigned to take care of various industries. It is also work. Of course, telling stories in Washery is much easier than farming. I have to say that it is a good department.

Clearly allocated money to them to set up a table and let them celebrate on their own.

The money was naturally given back to Yun Yan's hands. Now everyone gradually understands that even though Yun Yan is young, he can do it well, so he has come to persuade him to buy some wine and meat back.

Many monks break the vows, and it is obvious that he never took Yun Yan back to eat pork before—though he didn't eat it himself.

However, this can only be regarded as a secret that everyone knows, and it is still very despised by decent people. If you want to blatantly eat meat and drink at the celebration banquet, it seems not good.

Yun Yan hesitated for a while, after all, everyone had worked hard during this period, so they went to buy meat and wine, and didn't dare to invite the cook outside to cook, so Zheng Ping had to work hard to clean up a few dishes.

The chicken is a domestically raised chicken in the bamboo forest. Yun Yanhui has an exclusive craft, and now it pretends to be learned by a monk and taught it to Zheng Ping.

First cook the clean chicken until it is half cooked, remove the water and cut into pieces, stir-fry with oil, then add salt, vinegar, wine and other seasonings to simmer, and wait for it to taste. In this way, the chicken is salty, slightly sour, and has a fragrant wine. Tangy, but also exceptionally crispy.

If it weren't for a restaurant, most people rarely have this kind of craftsmanship. First of all, there are not so many chicken practices.

There are also river fish made into fish soup. The fish is marinated in salt and **** and then steamed for a while, peeled into shreds, and boiled in chicken broth with shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, green onions, etc. You can choose whether to add balsamic vinegar, sesame oil, etc. according to your preference. Seasoning.

The pork is sent to the pig farm for roasting, and there will be no leaks there.

Various other snacks, fruits, and soups are readily available. The wine is rice wine made from outside. Shuangyi and Zheng Ping brought the dishes together, while Yun Yanhui put the wine in a good temperature for everyone.

"Everyone has worked hard these days, but fortunately, the abbot has already revealed that there will be some incentives." Yun Yanhui slowly said.

"Brother Yan is the hard work." Everyone was embarrassed to take the work, and hurriedly raised a drink to respect him, "It is also thanks to your kind words in front of the abbot, otherwise this matter is not just our own business, where did it come from? What reward."

Naturally everyone likes and respects people who have the ability to take everyone to eat meat together.

Not to mention what the reward is this time, even if it hasn't been announced yet, everyone knows it. Buddhist precepts stipulate that monks are not allowed to accumulate personal wealth, which is consumed collectively by the monastery. That is to say, the economy of the dynasty was so developed that only some monks were able to do business and save private money, and they were more relaxed in this regard.

The abbot will definitely allow them to occupy part of the income from the wash house, such as rewards. This is difficult to rule out, so it is better to be generous as a reward for them.

Yun Yan took a bowl of mung bean soup back, "The little brother replaced the wine with soup."

Because Yunyan was not old, everyone didn't ask him to drink, and after a drink, he picked up vegetables and ate. They have never tasted Zheng Ping’s craftsmanship. After eating this one, I only found it to be extremely flavorful. Even the taste of the simmered chicken in wine was even full of Bianliang. It instantly exposed the fact that monks usually eat meat. .

There is no soup in this dish, it is all locked into the meat along with the taste of the ingredients, and when you bite it down, a rich umami flavor bursts out in your mouth.

Although fish soup is not a particularly good fish, fish is more expensive nowadays, but it is cooked carefully and is extremely delicious.

The monks were so greasy that they couldn't stop their chopsticks.

Hui Chong said: "Junior Brother Yan, even we have rewards. You must have no less. I think, you might as well ask the abbot to take down the oil workshop in the temple."

"Yes, the oil mills are making more profits. If the capital is not available at the moment, everyone can pool it for you, and the less can be borrowed from the longevity treasury." , I can still borrow a lot.

"Hey, Youfang is too eye-catching. Elder Yan and Niang Zheng, orphans and widows, will inevitably be jealous."

Everyone rushed to give Yun Yan an idea, and when it came time to ask the abbot for some benefits.

Yun Yan waved his hand back, "There are few people in the family, so let's forget about it. Thanks to all the seniors' concern, it is clear that the Master and the abbot have been very concerned about our family over the years. Me."

What this said was that everyone just cared about him, so they nodded and said yes.

Yun Yan thought about Pan workshop or something, but he still felt that he was too young and there were no helpers at home. This type of money-making method was not feasible, and the risk was too great. He did not forget him. The unknown mother's family might still be staring in the dark.

What's more, Yun Yanhui also tends to be more familiar with Bianliang, see the market rules more thoroughly, and humans accumulate more deeply. In this way, everything in the future will be responsive, and nothing is unsuccessful. Reason.

Otherwise, when it comes to making money, he has many theories in his mind. For example, bamboo paper has become popular among scholars in the past two years, but it is basically imported from the South, and there is a shipping cost.

There is a bamboo mountain in Bianliang, and Yun Yan has the method of making bamboo paper in his mind. When he interviewed the inheritors of ancient papermaking skills, he even did it together. If he has local bamboo paper, the result is self-evident.

However, this requires a lot of manpower, and all have to be trained to master the skills. After that, it will take a lot of thought on how to defend the industry, so Yun Yanhui never considered it. This is really not his strong point.

Yun Yan had a natural consideration in his heart. He wanted to show his ability to the abbot now. If the abbot was affirmed, he would prefer to become a temple fair administrator who was paid monthly.

It is also said that Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here, Yun Yanhui was thinking about it, Xiaobao ran over and said, "Brother Yan, the abbot is here."

Xiao Bao was originally playing outside, and when he saw the abbot appearing far away, he came to report.

The monks stayed for a while, and then all stood up, "Isn't the abbot coming to us?"

"Would you like to collect wine and vegetables?"

"Wait, if you are looking for us, it is impossible not to say it in advance, it may just be passing by." Yun Yan analyzed it back and said calmly, "I'll go out and have a look."

The monks watched him out expectantly.

Yun Yan went back and walked outside. It just so happened that the abbot was approaching, so he greeted him with a smile on his face and sang hello: "Hello, abbot, where are you going?"

"The first one is looking for something to do with me, Brother Yan, I heard that you are celebrating today, where do you eat?" the abbot asked with a smile.

When Yun Yan heard back that he did not come to his house, he said with peace of mind: "Just eat at home."

"Alright, what kind of food can you eat?" the abbot asked again.

Yun Yan is not easy to lie back. After thinking about it for a while, he replied: "There are dishes such as prajna soup, chamomile vegetables, water shuttle flowers and so on."

"Oh," the abbot replied absentmindedly, and said to him in a low voice, "Actually, I am looking for you too. Nowadays, I have received some posts from the noble families in Beijing who want to invite the lay monks to come. What do you think?"

"This is a good thing. It's not the same as a monk from a monastery who came to teach and teach Zen." Yun Yan smiled in his heart, but there are not too many people in the temple who have the ability to teach Zen to high-ranking officials. , Can be cultivated in batches. Think about it, this is another business opportunity!

The abbot knew this to Yun Yan. He didn't really mean to ask him for advice. He smiled and said, "Then you will come with me for details, and ask which steady disciples to come. Also. I think this vulgar monk can be expanded a bit, so you can bother to look at people."

"Yes, Abbot." Yun Yan replied earnestly.

"Then you guys are delicious, I'll go to work first." The abbot urged, and took two steps, but he figured out that something was wrong. He turned his head and looked at Yun Yan back, "Prajna soup? Chuancai?"

Yun Yan returned a mile away and made a smile with a smile. Knowing that the abbot was awake, what kind of prajna soup is actually wine, the chamomile is chicken, and the water flower is actually fish. It was the name used by monks to deceive themselves when they broke the vows. Now it is not widely spread, so the abbot has not been able to react.

The abbot couldn't laugh or cry, and made a few false accusations, "You, that's it for today, don't let anyone find out!"

"Don't worry, the abbot." Yun Yan looked back at the abbot and opened his eyes and closed his eyes, and hurriedly smiled.
