Chapter 152: The Vegetarian Feast
Songyun Town is not very large, but it is clean and tidy, and the whole town is surrounded by countless bamboo forests. Various colors of bamboo are also planted in front of every house, which is quite interesting.
Every place in the town has a high shelf, on which are hung all kinds of lanterns, palace lanterns, yarn lanterns and chandeliers, etc., and the shapes are also different, from people, landscapes, flowers and birds to dragons and phoenixes, fish and insects.
"It's so beautiful!" Ah Yuan exclaimed, "Even during the Lantern Festival, there are not so many lanterns." ”
Almost as far as the eye can see, there are lanterns, and everyone seems to be surrounded by a sea of lights.
"After all, the Lantern Festival is just for entertainment, mainly for people, although there are lanterns, but they are just decorations. Yin Nuan said, "But it should be different here, I think the lantern is the main body." ”
"Yin Langjun is right. Wang Qianyin said, pointing to an extremely large platform not far away, "I heard that all the lanterns participating in the competition tonight will be sent here." ”
"All?" said Yuan's face yearning, "what a spectacular sight that would be?"
"Yes. "That's why there are so many people who come to watch." ”
A few people walked around the town and found that the market was lined not only with vendors selling snacks and knick-knacks, but also with small lanterns that could be carried for fun.
There are many people who come to visit, so there will naturally be various needs for food, clothing, housing and transportation. And these small and delicate lanterns are more commemorative items after coming to see the green lanterns, after all, it is more necessary to buy a souvenir related to such a lantern-related event.
After swimming around, Ah Yuan was holding two lanterns in his hands, one left and one right, in the shape of a fish and a worm, which looked very interesting. Walking all the way to the door of a restaurant, Wang Qianyin said:
"I've been gone for most of the time, I must be a little hungry, right? I heard that the vegetarian food in this house is very good, and the servant has asked the maid to come and book a place before, so the meal must have been prepared. ”
Only then did everyone understand that the servant who had been following him before suddenly disappeared somewhere, and because of Yin Nuan, they still had to chant and pray for blessings. is still in the fasting period, so Wang Tianyin also thought about it carefully, and ordered a vegetarian fast.
"It's rare for Brother Wang to be so careful!" Yin Nuan said with a smile, "It's been all these hours. It's true that I'm a little hungry, but Brother Wang is still free to eat, you don't have to eat with us. ”
"What's that. Wang Qian Yin said, "My mother also often eats fasting and recites Buddha, and servants often accompany her." I'm also used to the taste of this vegetarian meal, and I like it a little. ”
A few people walked in as they spoke, thinking that it was the servant of Wang Qianyin who had come in before, and when he came in, he said carefully, and as soon as the shopkeeper saw everyone enter the door, he greeted him and said:
"A few of them are Yin Langjun and Wang Langjun and others, right? ”
Wang Qianyin bowed slightly, "I'm tired." ”
When I entered the private room, I found that the store had prepared two tables, presumably to distinguish the owner from the housekeeper.
It stands to reason that the maid is not qualified to be used during the master's meal, but the water slave Yintian and Ah Yuan are kind to the king after all, so he counts them together. Then his servant may mention to the shopkeeper that everyone has different identities. Therefore, the shopkeeper prepared these two tables.
"Why bother. Yin Nuan smiled and said to Wang Qianyin: "You don't have to be so particular outside, just eat together." ”
Wang Tianyin was not only not annoyed when he heard this, but also admired Yin Nuan's approach a little, and instructed the shopkeeper: "In this way, prepare according to Yin Langjun's instructions." ”
After that, the store brought a rather large table, surrounded by about four or five low stools. Ah Yuan and the water slave were already accustomed to Yin Nuan's approach, but because Tian was awkward for a moment, they sat down next to the water slave a little uncomfortably.
Su Zhai was quickly delivered, and sure enough, as Wang Qianyin said, it was full of color, flavor, and taste, and it was already mouth-watering before it was eaten.
Although it is a vegetarian feast. The meal was quite enjoyable.
Thinking that there was still about half an hour before the start of the green lantern festival, a few people were not in a hurry, and asked the store to collect the leftovers and send some pastries and tea.
"Yin Langjun, Water Slave Lady, Ayuan Lady, Intian Lady. Wang Tianyin picked up the teacup and said to a few people. "In the previous tribulation, thanks to your help along the way, the servant was able to return to Xin'an safely. The servant here replaces the wine with tea, toasts you with a cup, your great kindness, the servant is unforgettable. ”
Speaking of the previous catastrophe. Although he has endured a lot of hardships, he is indeed lucky to be able to meet such a few affectionate and righteous people. Just like the hollow reed that he suddenly received at the moment when he was almost suffocated at the bottom of the water, now that he thinks about it, he has long forgotten the pain of suffocation, and only his heart is full of gratitude and apology.
"Why should Brother Wang be so polite. Yin Nuan hurriedly raised the teacup and saluted, "At that time, I had your help many times, and I should have said thank you." ”
"How so?" said the king, "...... then"
He paused, and was about to say that he had left the two of them behind, and he dived and escaped alone, and his heart was even more guilty. It happened that Ah Yuan finished eating the pastries in his hand and interrupted him: "Speaking of which, if there is no Wang Langjun, we still don't know where to string like headless flies?"
Although they didn't meet Yin Nuan in the end, they at least got a direction to look for, and later because Tian found the mark left by the water slave in Yuzhou, and found Xin'an all the way.
This gratitude came and went, and in the end, there was no result. Yin Nuan said:
"Brother Wang doesn't have to be polite anymore, since he has recognized this righteousness and fate, then there is no need to argue about these between you and me, and celebrate this fate. ”
"Yes, Yin Langjun is right. Wang Qianyin also smiled, "It's a shallow servant, and I should be glad to be together." ”
Yin Nuan was happy on this side, and on the other side, although Yin Luo complained a little about this kind of hard life of eating and reciting Buddha, but remembering Zhao's warning before leaving, he didn't make any mistakes. Anyway, since Yiqiē has a mother's arrangement, she just waits and sees.
It's just that Yin Luo poked the bowl in front of her with chopsticks fiercely, and said angrily: "Even if you eat fasting every day, you don't have to be so unpalatable, right?"
"Fourth, four ladies, please forgive me. The novice who brought the meal was so frightened that he replied, not daring to say anything more.
The pilgrims who had come to stay at the temple before had come to eat and accumulate virtue, so who would care about that craving? Besides, this was already the best meal made in their temple. Japonica rice, vegetables and fruits are all excellent and fresh, but they are all vegetarian, no matter how delicious they are, how good can they be?
"Amitabha. Just when Yin Luo was about to get angry, a monk with white eyebrows suddenly walked over, stood outside the door and said, "The poor monk Dao has seen the Yin donor from afar, and the porridge and rice are boring, so please bear with the donor." ”
The little novice saw the monk coming and hurried over to pay respects. (To be continued.) )
