i was my mistake

"You still remember."

"I'm not stupid." Wan Qing rolled her eyes, "It's obvious that I got up first, why did you wash up first, hurry up."

"Who told you not to wash up right away..."

Both of them had already woken up, and the house began to become lively. After a while, Xiao Bai solved his physical problems by himself and ran back from the outside.

"Ahhh - stand still!" Ye Chen hurried to the door, let him stop, and then carefully wiped its four paws with a special towel, so as not to leave a lot of claws when running around the house. black footprints.

"Uh—ah—" The father, who had been lying on the sofa without moving, suddenly stretched his waist with an exaggerated range of motion, and the quilt slipped off his body, "I slept——it was such a fun sleep!"

Ye Chen just remembered that he didn't seem to hear his father snore last night.

"What time did Dad go to bed yesterday?" Wan Qing clumsily tied her hair and walked out of the bathroom.

"I don't remember much?"

"I got up at noon yesterday to eat something, and then I lay down until today, right?" Ye Chen rubbed Xiao Bai's ears, and the latter trembled vigorously when she let go of her hand.

"Really? After sleeping for so long, it's no wonder you're so refreshed." The father took a deep breath and looked at the two of them with a smile, "How's it going, have you had breakfast yet?"

"Not yet." Wan Qing glanced at the bright sunshine outside the window, "Why don't we go to the temple and have a vegetarian meal together."

"Alright!"

Father recovered faster than Wan Qing, probably because his health was much better.

In the past few days, luckily Ye Chen didn't get sick, otherwise it would take a long time to clean up after recovering from illness.

The time it takes to clean once a day is completely different from the time it takes to clean once every three days, especially in this kind of apartment near the road, as long as the windows are open, dust will float into the house.

"Hey, Chen'er."

"What's the matter, dad?" Ye Chen, who was playing with Xiao Bai, raised his head and asked.

"You guys, which one is that, the one who washes your face?"

"cleasing milk?"

"Correct!"

"Dad, do you still use this?" Ye Chen was a little surprised. In her opinion, men don't need these delicate things.

On this point, she has the same opinion as Wan Qing.

And men with rough skin look mature and attractive.

"Haha, I used to watch you wipe it all the time. In the new year, I will also use it to cleanse my face and wash away bad luck."

"Then you use it, it's in the small white bottle, just squeeze it a little bit, don't squeeze it to the end like Wan Qing."

Wan Qing could tell that Ye Chen disliked her wastefulness, but she held her chin in silence for a while but couldn't think of a word to refute.

They bought the facial cleansers in the supermarket by themselves. In fact, the price is not too expensive, but Ye Chen still adheres to the good habit of thrift before, not like Wan Qing's extravagance.

Wan Qing has a problem, that is, she must use a large amount of things, she would rather buy cheaper ones, and ensure that she can use them casually without feeling distressed every time she uses them.

For example, shower gel, you have to buy a large pot, and squeeze a pile of it in your hands at a time, as if it is enjoyable-but even if you squeeze so much of that cheap shower gel, you can hardly make much foam.

The middle-aged man's beard always seems to grow very fast, and he has already grown a stubble after not shaving for a few days, so he not only washed his face with facial cleanser, but also shaved his beard, and he looked clean and refreshed immediately. few.

Of course, the condition of the skin won't get any better because of such careful care. The rough areas are still rough, and the pigmented areas are still pigmented...

"Oh, I'm getting old."

"Why do you suddenly express such emotion?" Ye Chen was a little puzzled.

"Haha, when I was young, even if I wiped my face casually every day, I still looked very energetic, and it didn't seem like my face would never be clean like it is now."

"Yeah, only old people can really feel how fast time is." Wan Qing nodded with deep sympathy. Although she still had that nice girlish voice, her words were old-fashioned. People, the older you get, the more afraid you are of getting old."

"One or two of you, don't talk like old men, okay, it's useless to be old if you are young."

"It makes sense." Father nodded, "I also want to make myself younger and happier."

"Old mentality means that the activity of cells decreases, the speed of division slows down, and the secretion of hormones decreases..." Wan Qing rolled her eyes, "It has nothing to do with what to say."

"Then you are still very old-minded now?"

"Who said, I'm still very interested in kissing beautiful girls when I'm old."

"...cough cough!"

"Ye Chen, have you caught a cold too?" Father asked concerned.

"No!!"

……

The three of them didn't take Xiaobai with them, and arrived near Lingyin Temple together by bus.

Of course, the destination is not Lingyin Temple, which is expensive, but Shangtianzhu, which is not far away.

The ticket is one yuan, and the vegetarian meal is also one yuan. If you pay two yuan at a time, you will be given a package ticket including the admission ticket and the vegetarian meal ticket.

In this era where prices are rising rapidly, this price can no longer be called expensive.

Anyway, this is a scenic spot.

What's more, the vegetarian meal can be continued indefinitely - and as long as it is within a day, you can eat whatever you want.

There is no need to worry about someone taking advantage of this point to eat vegetarian food for free every day. There is a date on the vegetarian coupon, and if it expires, it can no longer be used.

In Wan Qing's impression, the last time I came here was in [-]. At that time, the entrance fee and the vegetarian meal were five yuan, and the vegetarian meal could only be eaten for one meal, but there were still unlimited refills. continued...

On the first day of the new year, there will be a lot of people here, but today is the fourth day of the new year, although there are still many pilgrims, but at least it is not so crowded, so you don't have to wait in a long line to enter the venue.

Outside the gate of the temple, there are a lot of people who set up street stalls, and they all sell some incense for worship here.

"If you want to go in, buy incense first, the inside is much more expensive than the outside!" Some people shouted directly, but some people were really worried, and stopped to buy some at the roadside stalls.

"Shall we buy it?" Ye Chen looked at his father.

"Buy a fart." It was Wan Qing who answered her, "Today we are just here to eat, understand, we have breakfast and lunch, and we don't eat for nothing."

"...Don't be so loud, others will hear you." Ye Chen looked around in embarrassment, wishing to prove that he didn't know 'her' at all.

"Haha, there is no need to buy it. If you are sincere, you will be successful. It doesn't matter if you buy it or not." My father walked in front with a smile, "Isn't it always said in Buddhist classics that as long as there is a Buddha in your heart, the Buddha is in your heart."

Another sentence couldn't stop popping up in Wan Qing's mind: "What you love is what you love."

"...are you two talking nonsense?"

Wan Qing and her father didn't answer, they just smiled at each other inexplicably, passed through the ticket gate, and walked inside.

What came into view was a long uphill. Although there were far fewer pilgrims today than on the first day of the first lunar month, the smell of smoke still wafted to the door, and the more you walked in, the stronger it became.

"Where is the cafeteria?" Wan Qing just stepped into the temple, already impatient.

"...Let's eat now? Wouldn't it be too rude?"

"I'm not in the mood to be polite if I don't have a full stomach."

"I saw the sign, this way!" Father walked in the forefront, obviously he had no objection to going to eat first.

In fact, I didn't eat much yesterday, and I didn't eat breakfast today and took the bus for such a long time, so I'm even more hungry.

At the entrance of the cafeteria, a monk in plain clothes was sweeping the dust in front of the door with a broom, and another monk beside him was filling the incense burner with new incense sticks.

All of this makes people feel that time is slow and soothing, and the anxious heart can't help but become peaceful.

It was probably because it was not too early to come, so there were not many people in the cafeteria at the moment. From what it looked like, after a while, breakfast would be over.

"There are not many people."

"Hurry up and eat, if you don't eat any more, you'll be gone later." An old man next to him said with a smile, although Ye Chen didn't speak to him at all.

"Thank you, let's go, let's get something to eat, we're going to die of starvation!" Father rubbed his stomach, strode ahead, and picked up an iron bowl for food...

……

108. Two fast meals

The morning vegetarian meal is porridge, steamed buns, and some pickles.

Yes... Actually, there are not many types of pickled vegetables. There are only three kinds of pickled vegetables, pickled mustard, and pickled radish.

But for some reason, Ye Chen always feels that the food here is better.

Especially the crunchy pickled radish, not only does not have the bitterness and smell of ordinary radishes, but has a touch of sweetness and just the right amount of sourness.

It is as attractive as the oranges eaten in winter.

The porridge is not thick, it tastes more like rice soup, but the steamed buns are big and fluffy, chewy and full of the fragrance that flour should have.

The biggest advantage of the vegetarian food here is that almost no condiments are added, but it can still be delicious and restore the natural fragrance.

"Well, this steamed bun is also delicious...It tastes even better when you eat it with pickles."

"It's a bit cold." Father took a bite, and there was only half of the steamed bun left. He had just recovered from his illness, and now his appetite was good, and he was quite as bold as an ancient wrestler, so he ate it in a few bites Three steamed buns, I still feel that there is still more to say.

As for the rice porridge, its biggest function seems to be to quench thirst.

After all, eating only steamed buns is also very dry.

"If you ask me, the so-called kaiseki cuisine is nothing more than that." Wan Qing, who has never eaten kaiseki cuisine, uttered nonsense, "It's all a trick to deceive the rich, and it's not as simple and refreshing as a vegetarian breakfast like this. .”

"What is kaiseki cuisine?" Ye Chen held the steamed bun with both hands, took a mouthful of it in a very pretentious manner, and secretly glanced around from time to time to see if anyone was paying attention to him.

"At the earliest, it was said that a group of monks were very hungry and had nothing to eat, so they hugged stones to keep warm, and then said that they put the stones into the pot, and then poured a very small amount of vegetables, and barely ate a meal. It feels like it’s mainly describing a spiritual state, um, probably.” Wan Qing said based on her impression, “Anyway, kaiseki cuisine in reality is expensive and not enough to eat, and it’s completely a waste of money.”

"Something rich people enjoy."

"That's right, I just look down on something that only rich people can enjoy!"

"..." Ye Chen couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and took a piece of pickled radish from Wan Qing's plate.

"Why did you steal my food?"

"I'm done eating."

"Then you eat mustard."

"It's delicious without pickled radish."

Wan Qing gave her a sideways look, and pushed the remaining half plate of pickled radishes in front of her: "Take it, take it, I'll eat it for you."

"Why, I just ate a slice..."

"Anyway, I'm not too interested in this thing."

"Oh, yes, it looks like you haven't eaten much."

"Would you believe me when I said I put the best food until the end?"

"Come on, I don't believe it."

Wan Qing rested her cheeks, her voice became lazier: "If you don't believe me, you still ask, so eat quickly."

"...You're not playing the kind of loving mother who likes to eat but still gives it to her children..." Ye Chen suddenly asked as if his brain had opened up.

"Huh--? Am I that boring!" Wan Qing's face flushed slightly, her eyes widened, and she raised her voice a little bit.

"I brought three more stacks of pickled radishes. The pickled radishes here are so delicious! Who else wants pickled radishes?" Father held three plates in one hand and two steamed buns that were already slightly cold in the other. asked happily.

"I want it!" Wan Qing immediately raised a hand.

"Cough!" Ye Chen coughed forcefully.

The atmosphere suddenly seemed a little awkward at this moment.

But my father didn't seem to notice it, he put a plate of pickled radish in front of Wan Qing very naturally, and looked at Ye Chen again.

"Uh, I don't need to..."

"Okay, then I'll eat it myself." My father got up and added another bowl of rice porridge, with two plates of pickled radish, which was very delicious.

The three of them finished their breakfast before the canteen was almost over in the morning, and then they walked out steaming.

After eating breakfast, the whole person feels much warmer. In this still cold weather, it is still very important to have a breakfast.

That is to say, after breakfast, they are free to go shopping elsewhere.

The most lively place is of course the place where several large incense burners are placed.
