The Li family's banquet was held on the corridor of this pond.

Now, the entire pool is surrounded by gauze and dim lights are lit in the pool.

People knelt beside the small tables placed in the corridor.

The weather was already cold, but with the fine gauze surrounding it and the warm lights on the water's surface, the small pavilion and the Nine-Turn Corridor had a fairy-like aura.

When people sit in it, they feel like they are in a fairyland.

Because it is a small banquet, there are only two people at a table at most. Gentlemen are seated at one table.

The left side of the seats are for men, and the middle and right side are for women.

After all, it was Madam Li's banquet, and most of the guests were female.

The dishes are served from a single-frame corridor at the back to the central pavilion, and then delivered to the guests' tables by maids.

As soon as people took their seats, the food began to be served.

First came the four cold dishes, Taoist dishes. Apart from eggs, they were naturally either vegetables or tofu.

People didn't have much illusions.

Unexpectedly, the vegetarian dishes at Xuanzhen Temple really opened everyone's eyes.

When the four cold dishes were served, people couldn't tell what two of them were made of.

Even after taking a bite, I couldn't tell what the ingredients of this dish were.

People were shocked and thought that to make the dish like this, it must be the work of a master.

Moreover, this dish requires several steps of pottery making to have such flavor.

Oh my god! There is such a master in this Li Mansion.

But people thought again, today's banquet was said to be organized by the master of Xuanzhen Temple, which means...

In the future, the vegetarian food in Xuanzhen Temple will surely become a scenic spot in the capital.

Next is a soup, lotus soup, or radish soup.

However, in this clear soup bowl, there actually was a hibiscus flower carved out of radish, with several red and yellow flower centers on it.

The soup tastes sweet and lingers in the mouth, with a hint of spiciness in the aftertaste. It is really a great appetizer and digestive stimulant.

The main course is a Taoist specialty, tofu and mushrooms...

It is made according to the four-four system. But it is delicious and full of flavor.

The last dish turned out to be the staple food, a bowl of dark-colored bibimbap that didn’t look very appetizing.

But once you enter...

It has a sauce flavor!

It's also a little spicy. The hibiscus soup just now has just relieved my stomachache, and the main course has whetted my appetite. Now is the perfect time for a bowl of spicy bibimbap.

There are ten small dishes in a meal. The portions are not large, but the dishes are exquisite.

Every dish you eat will leave you with an endless aftertaste, and the next one will bring you endless surprises.

This vegetarian banquet is truly exquisite and elegant.

After the banquet, the waitress served a cup of scented tea, which was a mixture of several Chinese medicinal herbs. It is the health-preserving tea that people in later generations often drink.

This was Qin Qiong's idea.

There was no way she could get a say when they were researching the dishes.

Because she can't...

I can only offer some ideas over after-dinner tea to make my presence felt.

Qin Qiong heard about this tea from a former colleague of hers, who said that drinking it after meals can help with digestion and strengthen the spleen.

She mixed some for herself and found it delicious.

Refreshments are Qin Qiong’s most conscientious recommendation.

It is also one of the rare delicacies that she knows how to cook, ginger milk.

Qin Qiong had eaten this when he went to Hong Kong before and thought it was good at that time.

She originally wanted to introduce this product to her company at that time, but she didn't expect that the Hong Kong boss would ignore her at all!

In a fit of anger, she posted a message online, and someone actually gave her a method to make this thing. After she tried it a few times, she succeeded.

It's just a bit troublesome to do.

However, later on, there were ready-made shops in China that sold these products, so she stopped making them herself.

This time I just took it out to show off.

In short, this birthday banquet at the Li Mansion was a great success with both hosts and guests enjoying themselves, and everyone was happy. It is cause for celebration!

As soon as the tea was finished, people became grateful and someone immediately asked about what was written on the instruction manual.

Madam Li looked at the abbot, and the abbot bowed to the young master.

This means that if it weren't for the young master and Madam Li, Xuanzhen Temple and the refugees living at the foot of the mountain would probably not have had the current outcome.

There was no revival of the "Ji'an Society".

So, she asked the young master to become the first supervisor of "Ji'an Society".

At the same time, please ask the young master to explain it to everyone.

So, amid the admiration of the ladies and the curiosity of the men, the young master stood up.

Let me start to answer your questions one by one...

This instruction manual was drafted by Qin Qiong, and then reviewed by the academy professor invited by the temple master and Xiao Yan, and was finalized after some revisions.

However, the basic meaning is similar to Qin Qiong's original one.

The management and use of funds is still somewhat authoritarian.

However, the establishment of a supervisor and the part that clearly states the investment and returns of the donations have aroused great interest among people.

In other words, once you make a donation, as long as the Ji'an Society survives and continues to operate, your kindness will be rewarded with merits forever.

What’s more, it can generate income! This is really a great news.

Also, if you have a "retreat" that day, you can still get help from within the community!

That is, it can be refunded or loaned out.

This is really...

The people below immediately began whispering in a high pitch.

Because it sounds like not just donating money, but more like investing in a big business.

This is a Taoist charity business!

This title, this artistic conception...

So different!

"Everyone!"

Xiaoyan saw that it was almost time and spoke loudly again.

"Before I came here, my mother specifically asked me to donate 10,000 silver coins on her behalf!"

"Wow!"

People admire it very much.

"First, I pray for the Emperor and the Queen Mother. Second, I appreciate the Lord's kindness in alleviating the worries of the government and the difficulties of the people! Therefore, I offer this with sincerity!"

"Wow!……"

People immediately changed from whispering to exclaiming.

You know, Her Royal Highness the Princess was not present today.

Just now people were still wondering, was it not invited?

Still don't want to come?

While people were still murmuring, they didn't expect that this time the princess would actually ask the young master to donate silver, a full ten thousand silvers!

This face is not ordinary.

"Everyone!"

At this time, General Xiaoli also stood up.

He walked up to the young master.

He raised his hand and slapped the young master on the shoulder and said loudly: "Young master, the princess is so kind! Our Li family cannot retreat either. I will also donate 10,000 silver on behalf of my mother!"

General Xiaoli burst into laughter after he finished speaking.

When he looks at Xiaoyan, there are stars in his eyes.

"I believe you! What you said will definitely work!"

"Wow!"

People exclaimed again.

The frugality of the Li family is well known in this capital city!

For General Li's marriage, Madam Li has been trying to raise money, and I heard that she is even going to sell her dowry.

However, this General Xiaoli actually donated 10,000 silver coins today!

People looked at Mrs. Li who was sitting above.

Sure enough, the expression on Madam Li's face was really...

Alas! People can't help but sigh in their hearts, loving mothers often spoil their children!

……

The birthday banquet of the Li family and the revival of the Ji'an Society immediately became hot topics of conversation among the people in the city.

Everyone was eagerly discussing and waiting for the birthday of Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun.

On the eleventh day of the eleventh lunar month, Ji'an Society will restart the excitement of that day!

In the past few days, the gate of Xuanzhen Temple was almost broken by the pilgrims who came here specifically to burn incense.
