Datang First Chef

The three had a satisfying meal. After the meal, Mo Xiaogou took the initiative to wash the pots and pans, while Li Sanniang "tortured to extract a confession" and said, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​making vegetarian meat?"

Her own son, she is not clear about being a mother. Although her Dalang is young, he has a lot of ideas. There is no child prodigy like him in the rumors. In addition to what happened in Daxingshan Temple a few days ago, she The more I believe that Da Lang is born extraordinary, Li Sanniang will toss and turn on the couch when she dreams back at midnight, muttering that my son is the reincarnation of a fairy?

Hey, it doesn't matter if he is the reincarnation of a god or not, it's just my son.

Mo Wenyuan saw that pretending to be cute could not fool him, so he cleared his throat and said, "I learned about the vegetarian meat recipe from a dream."

Li Sanniang asked suspiciously, "In a dream?"

Mo Wenyuan said sternly: "That's right, I was dreaming at night, and I happened to see an immortal standing in front of the stove making vegetarian meat, and then he passed on the recipe to me so that I could meet the occasional need."

Li Sanniang asked suspiciously: "Really?" Why did she sound like he was making up nonsense?

And he didn't have a dream from a fairy when he had a flash of inspiration before, why did he suddenly have a dream now?Could it be that Daxingshan Temple's feng shui treasure is really outstanding, so that Da Lang has some Buddhist spirit?

She looked at Mo Wenyuan suspiciously for several times, and finally let go of this topic. After she turned her head, the child let out a long breath, thinking that this reason cannot be used a second time.

His mother is not easy to fool.

But why next time?

Thinking of this, Mo Wenyuan let out snot bubbles again melancholy.

Life is so hard!

……

August [-]th is coming soon, Mo Xiaogou pushes a small cart to Daxingshan Temple, Li Sanniang and Mo Wenyuan follow behind him, carrying baskets in their hands.

The small trolley was borrowed from the small vendor next door. He happened to be busy today and didn't want to go to West Market, so Li Sanniang exchanged five pieces of steamed cakes for the right to use the small cart temporarily.

This cart is well designed, the belly is hollowed out, and when it is fixed, you can add firewood to make a fire, so that the heat of the steamed buns in the cage will not dissipate. It is a mobile stove. At this time, the weather is hot, and the steamed buns are cold slowly, so there is no need for heating Function.

The steamed buns in the steamer were filled with plain stuffing, while the baskets of Sanniang and Mo Wenyuan were filled with fruity buns, with peach and plum stuffing.

Like peaches, plums are also a staple fruit in the north. It tastes slightly sour, and the juice is rubbed into wheat noodles. The sweet and sour appetizers are especially liked by children and women.

Monk Huiyuan was waiting for the two at the side door, followed by a delicious fat monk.

The fat monk has a keen sense of smell, and he caught the noodle fragrance in the air from a long distance, and kept sniffing.

After the three of them arrived at the door, monk Huiyuan and the fat monk performed Buddhist rituals and brought the three of them into Daxingshan Temple. This was the first time for Mo Wenyuan to enter the interior of the temple. Very curious.

Daxingshan Temple was built in the reign of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, and has a history of 400 years in the reign of Zhenguan.

A group of people entered the temple from the east of the mountain gate. The mountain gate is a two-story Xieshan-style building with the words "Majestic Land" on the side. When entering the gate, Mo Wenyuan saw the golden barrier disappearing in a flash, and he couldn't help saying: "What is this. "

Monk Huiyuan turned his head back, with an expression of "you really have a destiny with my Buddha", Mo Wenyuan's heart was blocked when he saw it, and he said slowly: "Xiao Langjun really has the root of wisdom, this is the barrier set up by the four heavenly kings, demons and ghosts Do not enter the temple."

Mo Wenyuan: No!I'm not!I don't!

You don't want to fool me into talking about cross talk!

The Kaibao Hall stands on the central axis of the mountain gate. It is mainly dedicated to Maitreya Buddha with a big belly, and the four heavenly kings are divided into left and right.

Mo Wenyuan looked at the four heavenly kings who were glaring like diamonds, and said to himself that this world is really unscientific.

Afterwards, they passed by the Buddhist scriptures pavilion.

In ancient China, there were four forms of book collection, which were official book collection, monastery book collection, private book collection and academy book collection.

The collection of books in the temple is stored in the Sutra Pavilion, which is a small two-story building. The lower floor is dedicated to the Buddha, and the upper floor is a collection of scriptures. In the Sui Dynasty, the number of scriptures in Daxingshan Temple was already very large, including 2257 scriptures and 5310 volumes, not including untranslated Sanskrit.

The fat monk led the three of them around the Sutra Pavilion and said, "The sage wanted to revive the Buddha, so he opened a translation field and asked the monks to translate classics. Within a few years, the number of books in the pavilion has more than doubled."

Mo Wenyuan suddenly asked: "Aside from scriptures, are there any other kinds of books in the Sutra Pavilion?"

The fat monk laughed and said, "That's natural. A subset of classics and history, astronomy and geography, and a summary of agriculture. As long as it's the book you want, you can find it in the cabinet."

Mo Wenyuan: "Oh~" He fell into deep thought, so is the Sutra Library of Daxingshan Temple the only small and medium-sized library he can get access to?

Well, you can play around with it.

……

After walking through several main halls, we finally entered the monks' dormitory area. The monks' dormitory area is relatively far behind, and the houses are mostly long and low bungalows.

When they arrived, the monks were busy and the morning class was over. Some monks were carrying hoes and preparing to plant the fields, some were busy making bread in front of the stage, and some spread the scriptures on the ground to dry.

Seeing Li Sanniang and the others coming together with fat monk Huiyuan, there was commotion among the monks.

"Master Huiyuan is back!"

"Not here."

"The buns are here?"

"I can smell it!"

In fact, the steamer has not been opened yet, but looking at the monks in a mess, Mo Wenyuan sighed in his heart, the power of food is indeed infinite!

The monks were relatively organized, and they lined up neatly after a while of commotion. The monks in the front row looked at the steamer with longing eyes. There seemed to be endless treasures hidden in the bamboo cages.

Monk Huiyuan coughed and said, "Just follow the current order, one by one."

The monks of Daxingshan Temple have a simple concept of voting. As long as more than half of the monks agree with the craftsmanship of the bakery, they can become suppliers.

It's hard to say, it's hard to say it's not hard.

The fat monk could not be the first in the line, he said: "How many kinds of fillings are there?"

Li Sanniang said: "There are peach and plum fillings for the sweet ones, and vegetarian meat for the salty ones..."

After listening to the word "vegetarian meat", his eyes lit up: "Meat?"

Huiyuan: "Ahem!"

If you don't be quiet, you will be as cold as a cicada. If you look at your nose, nose, mouth, and heart, you just don't speak.

Li Sanniang smoothed things over: "Vegetarian meat, of course it is not meat if it takes up the word "vegetarian". It is all made of fruits and vegetables, and the oil is also vegetable oil. Masters don't have to worry."

Nodding reluctantly, he felt a secret disappointment, but he couldn't express it in front of Monk Huiyuan. In fact, he didn't mind meat being vegetarian at all. He hadn't tasted meat since entering Xingshan Temple!Thinking about it, he took a bite of the steamed bun, and in the next second, his eyes widened.

Mo Wenyuan is short, and he couldn't catch the whole process of expression drifting when he raised his head. He was like a diner in the Chinese little master's house. His face was shining brightly.

No: also!too!picture!Meat!up!Bar!

He heard happiness knocking on the door.

The monks received the buns one by one, and most of them, including monk Huiyuan, chose vegetarian buns. The name can arouse people's desire to explore, and the unrestrained expression is too exaggerated. Everyone wants to find out the filling. after all.

But after one bite, even monk Huiyuan was startled, he said: "What is vegetarian meat made of?"

It happened that Mo Wenyuan was next to him, so he replied: "The meat is made of white jade mushroom. It is fried with rapeseed oil and then added with cooking wine. Stir-fried with the bamboo shoots wrapped in bean paste. The taste is even better than pork." .”

Monk Huiyuan said, "Of course."

The delicious taste of vegetarian meat buns is really rare in the world.

The monks in Daxingshan Temple have never smelled meat for many years. Vegetarian meat buns satisfy their inner yearning for meat. As long as they have eaten buns, no one will vote for it. voted to become the steamed bun supplier of Daxingshan Temple.

Li Sanniang: It's time to expand the store.

……

At the same time, it is responsible for the supply of the restaurant and the Daxingshan Temple. The bakery is a little busy now, so Li Sanniang decided to hire two people who know the basics to help with the work.

Instead of handing over the matter to Aunt Lin, she went to the owner of a shop she knew acquainted in the West Market to see if there was anyone suitable for her.

Xu Sanlang of the wine shop said: "Why don't you buy two young ladies from Ren Yazi, hold the deed of prostitution in your hand, let them do anything and they won't be able to make waves." We have encountered a famine that is rare in ten years, and these days, many refugees have flooded into the city, Sanniang, may I go and have a look?"

Many of the refugees planted weeds and sold them in order to survive.

The law of the Tang Dynasty is a bit good. Children under the age of 10 are not allowed to sell themselves, even if they are voluntary. Otherwise, they will be robbed and deceived. If they are found out, they will be beheaded. This law greatly reduces the possibility of refugees selling their children. sex.

Li Sanniang had her own considerations, she declined politely, "Let's talk about it."

When Sanniang struggled for manpower, the lobbyist from Xingshan Temple came again. Monk Huiyuan smiled and said to Mo Wenyuan, "Mr. Xiaolang, would you like to study in the temple?"

Mo Wenyuan had already discussed with Li Sanniang, and he said, "If I go, can I browse through the books in the Sutra Pavilion?"

Monk Huiyuan said: "What kind of books are you interested in, Mr. Xiaolang?"

Mo Wenyuan said generously: "I am interested in the use of classics and history collections, the method of spring plowing and autumn fruits, and the technique of cooking dragons with firecrackers and phoenixes."

Li Sanniang was also moved when she heard about the Sutra Pavilion. Her husband who passed away early was born as a poor scholar. She also hoped that her son could study more.And Mo Wenyuan also has his own plans. In the future, he will come up with new dishes and the way of extracting soybean oil. Can it be said that he got it from the books of the predecessors?

It can not only enrich the amount of reading, but also find reasonable reasons, which really kills two birds with one stone.So he made an appointment with Li Sanniang that if he could go to the Sutra Pavilion, he would go to Xingshan Temple to study.

Monk Huiyuan nodded and said, "If it's these books, it's fine."

Mo Wenyuan nodded and said, "Shan, I want to study at Xingshan Temple."

Monk Huiyuan was overjoyed when he heard it, and wished he could sing an aria from a popular lecture, and the little cabbage he had been thinking about agreed to be put into the pot!

It seems to see a new generation of eminent monks who can subdue demons and eliminate demons externally, and work at the hearth internally!

Mo Wenyuan: "..."

No, I really just went to the temple to study. The goal is to promote the development of contemporary food and take a new path of food fortune.
