After spending ten yuan of dragon coins to buy a stick of incense and burning it in the incense burner where the Buddha statue sat down, Yang Yi took Jin Ruoxi to the side hall canteen under the guidance of Zhike.

Although the canteen is spacious, it is unusually simple, with only dozens of old wooden tables and more than 100 long stools. A few small monks come and go between the guests, who are responsible for adding the dishes.

The two casually found a table and sat down, and a little monk came over, clasped his hands together and said: "Two donors, the dishes in the temple have been prepared, I don't know what taste the two prefer?" ”

Jin Ruoxi didn't know anything about the food in the temple, and was stunned when he heard it: "Isn't it just food?" Do you want to divide the flavors? ”

The little monk smiled: "The female donor doesn't know, in order to meet the different tastes of many donors, the temple has all kinds of vegetarian dishes, such as tofu, green vegetables, potatoes and sweet potatoes, of course, there are also various set meals for the donors to choose, but the price is naturally higher." ”

Yang Yi stuffed a hundred yuan dragon coins into the little monk's hand and said with a smile: "Then let's have a few dishes made of tofu!" But I need to eat a little more, I eat a lot. ”

The little monk said the Buddha name and turned away.

Jin Ruoxi said with great interest: "I can't imagine that there are so many new things in the temple, the book says that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, I can't imagine that if this is the case, we should walk around more in the future, and we can also increase our knowledge." ”

Yang nodded Zhi Tianxiu, took a puff and put it between his fingers and said, "Could it be that you really plan to live in my parents?" Remember promising me anything? ”

Jin Ruoxi snorted: "Not yet, I have to let them worry a little more!" Who made them force me to do what I don't want to do! ”

Yang Yi said helplessly: "Forget it, I'll buy you a phone after you go back, and when the time comes, you can call your family yourself, no matter what, it's your family, it's always wrong to let them worry in vain!" ”

Jin Ruoxi nodded and said, "Okay! Anyway, I'm going to be staying at my brother's house for a long time, so I told them I'm safe and don't worry! ”

While the two were talking, the little monk had already come over with a large plate with several dishes on it, and the most eye-catching was a large pot of white rice.

Three vegetarian dishes, a large pot of white rice put down. The little monk smiled: "The two donors, please use it slowly." He turned and went to another table of guests.

Jin Ruoxi looked at the three vegetarian dishes with all the color and aroma, and couldn't help but say: "These three dishes look no different from the dishes in the big restaurant, they look delicious." You see, this dish is obviously meat, why is it said to be a vegetarian dish? Could it be that after the reform and opening up of science and technology, even the temple is not taboo about meat? ”

Yang Yi divided a large bowl of rice into Jin Ruoxi, and said with a smile: "These are originally tofu products, but they are deliberately made like meat." Since ancient times, the monks in the temple have set up a special dish to keep guests in order to increase the incense, because the pilgrims are all laypeople in the world, so they deliberately make the dishes like all kinds of meat, not only that, but even the taste is very similar. ”

"So amazing?" Jin Ruoxi didn't believe it, took a piece of tofu with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and exclaimed after chewing: "It's really like, and it tastes delicious and delicious, and it has the fragrance of tofu, which is really rare." ”

Yang Yi pointed to a dish that looked like a fish: "The food is all vegetarian ingredients, and the oil used for frying is also oil refined from rapeseed, which tastes particularly fragrant." This dish looks like fish, but it is actually made with tofu, and although it tastes similar, you can't make real fish after all. ”

Jin Ruoxi sandwiched another piece of food like a fish, and also gave a thumbs up to praise, but after seeing a big bowl of rice that Yang Yi pushed her, she immediately said with a bitter face: "There are so many things I can't eat, can I have less!" ”

Yang said with a straight face: "No! Now is the time for you to grow your body, and you have to eat enough at every meal. Also, don't you know that it's shameful to waste? Not only this bowl of rice, but also all the dishes on the table, or I will unilaterally tear up our private treaty and send you home!" ”

Jin Ruoxi had no choice but to pick up the rice bowl and eat it slowly, while Yang Yi showed his usual style, gobbling up, chopsticks flying like lightning. Seeing that Yang Yi ate so well, Jin Ruoxi was also brought out of interest, and competed with Yang Yi for vegetarian dishes with a childlike heart.

Just when the two of them were enjoying their meals, Yang Yi suddenly stopped his chopsticks and looked at the corner of the cafeteria in a distracted manner.

Jin Ruoxi had finished eating a bowl of rice, and felt that she had never eaten so happily, and when she was about to speak, she suddenly noticed that Yang Yi's expression was a little wrong, and she looked in the direction of Yang Yi's eyes and found that there was a man and a woman sitting in the corner.

The man is tall, wearing a well-tailored handmade suit, handsome and superhuman, while the woman is wearing a simple down jacket and jeans, with long black hair hanging down on both shoulders, a delicate and beautiful face, and a sweet and lovely temperament.

"Who are they?" Jin Ruoxi obviously sensed that something was wrong with Yang Yi's emotions, and couldn't help but ask.

Yang Yi shook his head, poured all the remaining dishes on the plate into the basin, ate all the rice, got up and smiled: "Let's go!" ”

At this time, a scolding voice came from the table not far away: "What kind of food are you?" Not even a piece of meat! Bean curd! Vegetable! Is this what people eat? It's not that I can't afford to pay! It's all gone, and Lao Tzu wants to eat meat! ”

"This benefactor is at ease, there is no meat in the temple. Vegetarian dishes are actually not lower in nutrition than meat, and they are also helpful to the stomach and body. If you really can't get used to eating fast, then the donor can go to the square outside, where there is a lot of meat. The little monk was pointed at his nose and scolded, holding back the fire in his belly, and his words were also a little inconsiderate.

"What? Lao Tzu donated so much incense money, do you want Lao Tzu to leave now? Lao Tzu doesn't go! Hurry up and get some meat for Lao Tzu! If you really can't do it, you can go to the square and buy some! The fat man slapped the table and got up and said, "Otherwise, Lao Tzu will let people demolish your temple!" ”

The surrounding guests shook their heads frequently when they heard this, feeling helpless about the overall quality of the fat man.

Yang Yi turned his head to look and found that it was the fat man he had met at the gate of the temple before, snorted coldly, and pulled Jin Ruoxi to prepare to leave.

"Stinky boy! Don't go! Who knew that the fat man saw Yang Yi who got up under the look around, pushed away the table and rushed over: "I want to leave after beating Lao Tzu, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?" At the moment, his clothes were covered with dust, and he thought that he had done it from wrestling before, and he hadn't had time to change it yet.

Jin Ruoxi wanted to speak, but Yang Yi had already said coldly: "This is a pure place for Buddhism, I forgive you for your rudeness and ignorance, but if you bark in front of me again, I will not be able to guarantee the safety of your life!" ”

These words blew into the fat man's whole body like a cold wind, making him shudder, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth, not daring to talk nonsense.

At this time, a young man in a black suit came over and said coldly: "This gentleman, my young master hopes that you will stop making noise, otherwise you will be invited out!" ”

The fat man was so frightened by Yang Yi's words that his eggs almost shrank into his stomach, and when he encountered someone else to find fault, he had nowhere to get rid of the evil fire in his stomach, and said angrily when he heard the words: "What kind of thing is your young master?" He thought the temple belonged to his family? ”

"I'm nothing, and the temple isn't mine." The man who had been sitting in the corner came over with a faint smile, and the girl followed, but kept her head down, as if she was afraid of something.

"Li Tianyou, Li Ershao, I haven't seen you for a long time." Yang Yi threw away Tianxiu's cigarette butt and said coldly: "I didn't expect Li Ershao to like to chant and worship Buddha, it's really rare, I thought that Li Ershao would only harm a woman from a good family!" ”

The two bodyguards in black suits next to him were about to make a move when they heard this, Li Tianyou waved his hand to stop it, and said lightly: "Mr. Yang's words are sharp, I'm afraid no one can say anything about you in the whole of Yinan, but we have never had anything to do with it, so I also hope that Mr. Yang will not make some wrong decisions." ”

When these words came out of his Li Tianyou's mouth, he had already lowered his posture, which was quite face-saving, but he was afraid that if he was someone else, he would have been grateful for it a long time ago.

However, Yang Yi didn't know how to eat this at all, and dug his nostrils and said: "Li Ershao is the one who can speak well, I'm afraid that no girl can escape Li Ershao's Five Finger Mountain, right?" As he spoke, he looked at the girl who had kept her head down, and her expression was meaningful.

When the fat man here heard Li Tianyou's name, he was so frightened that he shuddered, and hurriedly laughed and said: "It turned out that the second young master of the Li family was here, and I still have a little thing to deal with here, so I will leave first, and invite Li Ershao to dinner another day!" After saying that, he walked away quickly without looking back. Li Ershao is naturally not something he can afford to provoke, but Yang Yi doesn't seem to be a good stubble, which can be heard from their conversation, if he stays any longer, I'm afraid he will be in a big disaster.

"Speaking of pickled girls, how can I, Li Tianyou, catch up with Mr. Yang! I haven't seen him for many days, and there is another little beauty beside Mr. Yang, but such a little beauty looks a little familiar, and I don't know if we have seen it before. Li Tianyou looked Jin Ruoxi up and down, revealing memories and thoughts, but he gained nothing.

Jin Ruoxi said with a smile: "I am Yang Yi's brother's distant cousin, this time I came to Yinan to study, and now the school is on vacation, so I asked my brother to take me here to play." Did Mr. Li also bring his girlfriend to play? ”

Jin Ruoxi's appearance is overwhelming, no one can have a bad feeling, Li Tianyou is naturally no exception, and nodded with a smile: "I have long heard that the Thousand Buddha Temple is full of incense, so I came here to see if it is really as good as the rumors." ”

"Why doesn't this sister speak?" Jin Ruoxi observed Yang Yi's expression and said with a smile: "Could it be that he was frightened by the rude gentleman just now?" ”

Li Tianyou, as the second young man of the Li family, goes out with bodyguards with him, how can an upstart scare the people around him, these words are just to make her raise her head.

Sure enough, after Jin Ruoxi's voice landed, the girl had already raised her head, looked at Yang Yi and smiled reluctantly: "Mr. Yang, you ...... Hello! ”
