Buddhism

Fortunately, the vegetarian meals eaten by the monks are relatively simple, and after half an hour of busy work, they are finally ready.

Kong Qing brought all the meals to the stone table in the courtyard, he put his chin on his hands, and looked at Chi Tong who was still sleeping soundly.I thought, it's already dinner time, should I ask him to get up for dinner?

Looking down at the dishes and soup on the stone table, the color is dark gray and looks very dull.It can be said that there is no appearance at all. He dared to say that if a person is not very hungry, he will never have any appetite for his dishes.Kong Qing was very embarrassed to think that he didn't seem to use any skills and subdivided steps in his cooking, he just threw all the vegetables into the pot, covered them and cooked them.

The dishes were not pleasing to the eye, had no fragrance, and had a strange smell.Kong Qing was very disgusted, and secretly slandered, the same ingredients he made, how could there be such a big difference from Chi Tong's?

"Ah!" Kong Qing sighed, looking very distressed at the dishes on the table, staring at the two plates of dishes without appetite, speechless.

When he was cooking, he realized that Chi Tong was not a monk, but had always been eating the same vegetarian food as himself. Seeing how calmly he ate, he wondered whether he liked to eat such a light vegetarian meal?

What Kong Qing didn't know was that Chi Tong had already put a lot of minced meat in his porridge and vegetables in order to allow his body to recover as early as possible during his recuperation period.

His body has been severely injured, if his nutrition cannot keep up, his body will be very weak, and his illness will easily recur.Being able to recuperate and prevent in advance, Chitong naturally doesn't want to have a lot of troubles in the future, so he will recuperate.Therefore, he mixed a lot of meat into the meals, to nourish his body as a monk, but less and more ignorant.What's more, Kong Qing's body is already thin and thin, if there is an emergency in the toss and it is folded in, then wouldn't his hard work be in vain.

When Kong Qing ate "Frozen Meat" for the first time, he was amazed at how delicious this dish was.Chi Tong only told him that it was a special kind of vegetarian dish chopped up.Kong Qing had never touched meat since he was a child, and he was still young and didn't know much, so he didn't think much about it.He subconsciously relied on Chitong, so he believed everything Chitong said.

Since then, Kong Qing likes the "Sumo" in the vegetable collection plate the most. Compared with the vegetarian dishes in the past, this Sumo is the most delicious and goes well with rice.

Chitong knew that monks don't eat meat, but he thought it was pedantic.Just like the old monk who doesn’t eat meat, he thought he didn’t eat meat either, and forced his injured self to eat vegetarian food with him for a month. A mouthful of vegetarian food is really scarce, and it’s not good for the wound. heal.

As a monk, you are merciful.As long as you don't take the initiative to torture and kill creatures, it's fine. As for eating meat, aren't these all the nutrients that the human body needs normally.In the reincarnation of heaven, death is not the end.What happens afterward, they have their home, so why bother about their going or staying.

Now that Kong Qing is still young, there are some things that don't need to be explained clearly, and he will naturally understand when he grows up.Now he is brought up by Chitong, and Chitong believes that after a subtle influence and years of baptism, Kongqing will become a "reasonable" "monk".

Kong Qing didn't know that he had been broken by a "person with heart".

Just when Kong Qing was waiting for the food to be cold, Chi Tong woke up faintly, he woke up with a strange smell.As soon as I saw it, I saw the little monk with his face pouted, sitting on the stone pier and looking at him with his two short legs dangling.

Seeing that Chitong woke up, Kong Qing smiled pleasantly, and said in a crisp voice: "You're awake, it's time to eat!" After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and picked up the white rice bite by bite, without lifting the chopsticks vegetable.As if trying to hide his embarrassment, he ate his meal in a pretentious manner.

Chi Tong got up and walked over, sat down across from Kong Qing, looked at the pale and dark gray dishes on the table, and raised his brows imperceptibly.Because he really didn't see what the raw ingredients of this messy dish were.

This was the first time he saw Kong Qing's cooking, and he really couldn't bear to look directly at it.Just by looking at this dish, you can tell that its color, aroma, and taste are all missing.But looking at Kongqing's thin body, it is something to be encouraged that he can complete these two "dishes" independently.

With Kong Qing quietly looking at him, and eyes full of anticipation.Chitong took a bite of the dish calmly, and he knew that the dish was really bad as soon as he took it.But he still tasted it without changing his face, and concluded in his heart: the taste is too salty, the vegetables have been cooked for too long, and they are too stuffy, so that they have a pig taste like those farmers cook for pigs.It was extremely unpalatable and hard to swallow.

Facing the clear eyes full of hope above, Chitong resisted the urge to vomit.He pursed his lips and smiled slightly.

Kong Qing persisted but smiled joyfully, seeing Chi Tong's relaxed expression, he thought it was not bad.He quickly put a piece of vegetable leaf into the vegetable bowl and put it in his mouth.

When the food was in the mouth, Kong Qing immediately vomited it out, looking at Chi Tong in disbelief, his eyes filled with puzzlement, he didn't understand how he could swallow such an unpalatable food without changing his face and still smiling.

Seeing that Kong Qing was deflated, Chi Tong raised the corners of his mouth full of wickedness, and it was worthwhile for him to swallow such an unpalatable thing.He watched half of the soup oozing from the bottom of the dish, there was no doubt that it was boiled with water.Seeing Kong Qing's distressed and apprehensive expression, he also knew that he probably couldn't eat anymore.He couldn't help laughing and said: "Forget it, let's make a new copy."

Then he ordered Kong Qing: "Clear the table, I will make two new dishes." After speaking, he lifted his legs and walked to the kitchen.

It's too salty, and I can only feel relieved after pouring a cup of tea.Hearing that Chi Tong said that he was going to cook again, his brows were filled with joy, and he happily disposed of the "masterpiece" he hated so much without hesitation.It's a pity, but it's really unpalatable.

Kong Qing sighed: "Stir-frying is a skill, it seems that I really don't have this talent!" He leaned against the kitchen door and watched the red-eyed stir-frying movements, sighing to himself.

Hearing Kong Qing's emotional Chitong, his brows and eyes were tinged with a smile, and he added in his heart: he is quite self-aware, and he can be taught.

After a while, a vegetarian fried eggplant came out of the pan.The aroma is overflowing, the taste buds are hooked, and the appetite is simply stimulated.

Kong Qing graciously took Chitong's vegetable bowl on the wooden board, and cheerfully praised: "Chitong, you can fry a vegetarian dish so deliciously, it's really amazing, amazing."

"What? Do you want to learn art from a teacher?" Chitong continued to stir-fry, not forgetting to tease Kongqing.

"I don't have that talent. The pot of food just now is an example. I won't smash your signboard. If I smash your signboard, I can't pay for it. That would be a serious crime." Holding the bowl of vegetarian fried eggplant, he ran out in a hurry.

Chitong couldn't help but laugh, and cursed at Kong Qing's back: "Lazy is lazy, how can you not know the truth that hard work can make up for one's weakness?"

The emptiness in the distance is naturally not heard.Chitong didn't intend to let him hear it, and he just did what he didn't know.For such a small person, I should bear with myself more.

Since the little monk came, these boring days seem to be more busy and colorful.It feels acceptable for now, so let's just leave it at that.

Chitong has a happy expression and a soft complexion, and the movements of cooking are a little light.After a while, a piece of white radish came out of the pan.

As soon as the last dish was served, Kong Qing couldn't wait to eat it.It didn't take long for the two bowls of rice to be eaten, and he felt that the hunger that had nowhere to rest had calmed down a bit.Then he added another bowl of rice, and finally he was full.

After he was full, the things that were on Kong Qing's mind popped up again, and he couldn't suppress it no matter how hard he suppressed it.He put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked at Chi Tong who was eating elegantly and unhurriedly, and after some consideration, he said slowly: "Chi Tong, do you want to leave?"

Chi Tong was inexplicable: "Why should I leave?"

Seeing that Chitong's calm expression did not seem to be perfunctory to him, but the words had already been spoken, and there were still doubts in his heart, Kong Qing continued: "There is not even a change of clothes in this room, and there are no other long-term living arrangements. There are no signs of passing, and it feels like a temporary residence in another courtyard."

Chitong looked at Kong Qing's slightly disturbed expression, and knew that he "disappeared" all day yesterday without making a sound.Kong Qing was afraid that he felt uncomfortable and felt very insecure.As a monster, he really doesn't need to change his clothes, a spell can make the dirty clothes look brand new.

This little monk is as meticulous as a hair, and even checks out these small details clearly.It seems that this little monk will not be such a foolish and ignorant child.

Chitong put down the bowl, tapped the top of Kongqing's bright head with chopsticks, and said amusedly, "It's all figuring out, and there is no trace of life, because I'm used to being simple and simple. I'm also practicing Taoism, so I don't care about so many mundane things. It's a common thing, just have a place to sleep."

Kong Qing touched the top of his head that was hurt by the beating, but he was not angry at all.He just asked, "You really won't leave? Are you really going to stay here forever?"

Under Kong Qing's expectant eyes, Chitong nodded as expected. "I brought you back, how could I abandon you."

After getting this answer, Kong Qing's hanging heart finally hit the ground.Immediately, he smiled honestly and honestly, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, but his teeth could not see his eyes.

Looking at Kong Qing's appearance, Chi Tong felt that he was like a slimmed-down version of the Laughing Buddha. On his fair face, the brows, eyes and smile were very sweet, which made people feel like a spring breeze.Chitong likes to see him smile like this, pure and clean, unrestrained without any adulteration.

His mind was settled, and he was very satisfied with the result. Kong Qing only felt that his appetite was full at the moment, and he could have another bowl.He happily picked up his empty bowl and filled it with a full bowl of rice.Seeing that there was not much rice left in Chitong's bowl, he stretched out his small claws to grab Chitong's bowl without authorization, and filled Chitong's empty bowl with a full bowl of rice.

He put the bowl full of rice in front of Chi Tong, and said in a brisk voice: "Eat!" He moved his index finger and started to eat big mouthfuls.He ate very happily, obviously very happy.

He also completely forgot that Chi Tong never added a second bowl of rice.He eats just to accompany Kong Qing through the motions. Due to the scarcity of resources in the famine, he always eats as little as he can in a calm manner.

Looking at Kong Qing, who was devouring his head and binge eating, Chitong couldn't help but come up with a sentence in his heart, a saying that farmers often say: "Half-sized children, eat poor old people." I deeply agree with it.

He secretly rejoiced that fortunately he still had some food left.Fortunately, the aura in this mountain is rich, and there are wild fruits and mountain treasures all year round. Otherwise, I am really worried that in this famine year, I will not be able to feed this little monk with a gluttonous appetite.
