Chapter 1026: endure hardship
The six children are kneeling in front of the Buddha and making a wish, even Xiaofu is staggeringly kneeling beside his brother and kowtowing. Because he is still young, his knees are unstable, and his hands are only off the ground, and his body is tilted to one side. , Little Bear practised Buddha salutation with one hand and supported him with the other, so he finished the ritual with half-assistance and half-assistance.
After leaving the main hall, Xiaoxiong showed a helpless look to Xiaofu, "You know what we're doing, just follow it?"
Xiaofu looked at him with big innocent eyes, obviously he didn't understand, Xiao An had already discussed with Xiao Shi and the others that they were going to play in the back mountain. Seeing that his younger brother didn't follow, he turned around and ran back to hold his hand. Leaning forward, Xiao Xiong hurriedly picked up Xiao Fu and said, "He walks swaying, how can he run? Forget it, I'll go with you."
But they were surrounded by people as soon as they turned out of the yard.
Mrs. Yan smiled and pulled the daughter in her hand and the sons behind to talk to the little bears.
Xiao Xiong and the others opened their mouths wide, looking at the many ladies who were following Mrs. Yan, and wanted to turn around and run away, but their good upbringing allowed them to stay where they were, squeeze out a smile and say hello to a few people.
No matter how bad they are at home, their parents will beat them at most. If they lose the royal face outside, they will be punished.
The little bear squeezed out a smile to socialize. Fortunately, Lidong came to rescue them with a smile, and asked Mrs. Yan and the others to go in to give incense, and said that the mountain temple was cold.
Xiao Xiong hurriedly took his younger brothers to evacuate, and ran to the back mountain in one breath, wanting to stay behind all day.
But in fact, the back mountain is not quiet. From time to time, someone wanders over, and the little bear is distressed: "Where are we here to play? It's like a monkey."
Specifically for people to see.
Seeing that their faces were bitter, Mu Yangling turned his head to face Li Chun and said, "Go and tell the wives and ladies who are waiting outside, I'll invite them to stay for a vegetarian meal. There are many people here today, and there may not be enough manpower in the nunnery. You bring a few rough women to help, how do you usually cook in the nunnery, and how do you do it today."
Lichun held back his laughter and went away.
Cining Nunnery is a place of ascetic cultivation, where can there be delicious vegetarian dishes such as Putuo Temple? Just put some oil, put some salt on the dishes, fry or cook them, and then cook them. Even the staple food is whole grain steamed buns, steamed buns made with wheat and corn flour.
It’s not the modern corn buns that are fluffy and fermented with a little sugar, but hard buns that can smash people to death. It’s very tight. One bun is worth four people, so don’t be too reluctant to put flour.
Mu Yangling was very bad, so he had people go to the kitchen to get a handful of rice and chopped mushrooms to make porridge. When it was getting better, he also laid two eggs and cooked them for Xiaoan and Xiaofu, who had weak stomachs.
The Qi family's children have a good spleen and stomach, including the second prince, who has been pampered since childhood. As long as he is hungry, he can fill his stomach with water and water, so take care of Xiao An and Xiao Fu, and even let Xiao Xia fill it up. In the stomach, Mu Yangling took the people to the front to eat fast food.
Because there were too many people, Cining Nunnery had limited space. There were many long tables and benches outside the dining room. Everyone lined up to prepare meals and sat on the table.
With the idea of ??coming early and seeing the nobles early, before it was time for dinner, there were people wandering around outside, so everyone saw Zhike leading a few nuns to serve dishes outside one by one, and put them on the table. long table.
There are five pots of boiled cabbage, five pots of stir-fried white radish, and two pots of pickled vegetables, and the pilgrims who know the guests will say to the wide-eyed pilgrims: "Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely have enough food, there are still a few pots in the back, and I will serve them in a while. Come up."
The pampered ladies and wives couldn't help swallowing. They couldn't bear to look directly at the vegetarian dishes on the long table. Are these things really edible?
Even Mrs. Yan's smile was stiff, and she hesitated whether she should find a reason to go down the mountain.
Some people came to see the food on the long table and secretly took their children down the mountain, but more people stayed, and they asked people to bring money to Zhike. As for this kind of food, as long as there is enough sesame oil, they should be able to eat the same as the princess, right?
Everyone kept comforting themselves in their hearts, and the princess also brought a few young sons.
Hui Ning glanced at the silver note, silently recited the Buddha, and said to Zhike: "Remember the number and return it to them when they go down the mountain."
Cining Nunnery is a place of ascetic cultivation. She is naturally happy when the incense is prosperous, but it is not prosperous. Their life is like this, but it is good to be sincere in cultivating Buddhism. It is better not to accept the donation of sesame oil that is full of selfish desires.
When it was time for dinner, Mu Yangling and Xiao Xia came out with a few children. The host Huining first said some Buddhist words, and then explained the rules here. The food is as much as you eat, and it should not be wasted.
So, Mrs. Yan saw the princess with a solemn expression leading a few young sons to lead the rice bowls and queuing up to make meals. Even the youngest Xiao Fu also held a bowl and filled it with the help of Xiao Xiong.
The nun who brought them vegetables and handed steamed buns didn't want to give so much to the children, especially when it was Xiao Fu's turn, Xiao Ni only gave him half a spoonful of each dish and one steamed bun, but Xiao Fu knew how much even though he was small. He took a look. Brothers' rice bowl, looked down at his own, and looked at the little nun with a pair of round eyes.
The little nun twitched the corners of her mouth and said in a more serious tone, "You can eat as much as you fight."
The brothers around Xiaofu nodded again and again, what are they afraid of?
Xiaofu also nodded, there are so many brothers, how can he have less?
The little nun could only reluctantly fill Xiaofu's pot.
Mrs. Yan and the others were very complicated when they saw that the princess and a few young masters were eating this kind of food. The little nun gave Xiaofu the amount at the beginning.
After everyone had settled down, host Hui Ning chanted a Buddha's name, indicating that everyone can eat.
Mrs. Yan looked at each other in dismay. They couldn't get down with the chopsticks. Everyone looked up to the table. Mu Yangling was already eating with the chopsticks.
Actually, Cining's food is not bad, it is much more delicious than the cauldron dishes she ate for three years when she was in junior high school, especially the pickles, which are very tasty, Mu Yangling eats them with relish.
The four children of Qi’s family also eat with relish. They go out in the morning. After going up the mountain, they eat two pieces of snacks and worship Buddha everywhere. They also avoid crowds. It's past dinner time now, so don't eat too fragrant.
Xiao Xiong and his two younger brothers often eat at fishermen's houses when they are playing at the beach, so they are used to it. Even Xiao An, who has a weak stomach, ate half a steamed bun with pickles. The second prince choked at first, but He quickly got used to it, allowing Mu Yangling to see the Qi family's hard-working genes once again.
