Just after the hour, Uncle Wei Ji and Di Fan rushed to the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple. There are already twelve adult monks blocking the way in the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info, all holding sticks, and there is a master of the foreman behind him, called Master Zhihe, who is the second apprentice of Benhui Zen Master, who will be forty years old, medium in stature, and wearing yellow monk's clothes. When Master Zhihe saw that it was Uncle Wei Ji who came, he immediately asked the twelve monks to accept the sticks, and then gave a salute and said, "It is really a sin to let the fourth uncle send some vegetables to the temple in such a hot weather." ”

Uncle Wei Ji put on a smiling face and said, "It's okay, it's still early." It's going to be delivered anyway, and it just so happens that the crops in the field are good now. Master Zhihe thanked him again and asked who the person standing next to him was.

Uncle Wei Ji said: "This doll is my wife's nephew's nephew, named Chang Xiaoshan, who is a cook at home. The old man knew that the temple was busy, so he called the doll to follow. Di Fan said yes.

Master Zhihe saw that Di Fan was also dressed as a kitchen worker, and he had known Uncle Wei Ji since he was a child, so he didn't interrogate Di Fan much, but said: "There are several groups of people in the temple today, I'm afraid it's a little noisy, and I also invited the fourth uncle and the Chang Shi to go to the dining room from the path." ”

Uncle Wei Ji nodded, led Di Fan, pushed the cart, and headed towards the path west of the mountain gate, and arrived at the dining room in a short time. The kitchen of the Shaolin Temple, between Tallinn and the Abbot's Courtyard, is smoking from the roof. Some of the villagers were already here, carrying burdens on their shoulders, pushing carts, or driving mule carts...... They all sent some poultry eggs and specialties from the fields to the Shaolin Temple, and some were even processed, such as water-milled tofu, dried plum vegetables and pickled beans. Needless to say, these things are used by the villagers to offset the land rent. When Di Fan and Uncle Wei Ji came, they were all ready to go back.

Several monks in the dining law room were still counting on the side, and the leader was called Master Zhihao, who was the head of the food law room and the later abbot of Zhihao. He was carefully checking, and when he saw Uncle Wei Ji coming, he hurriedly stepped forward, and after a little greeting, he said: "Amitabha, the weather is hot now, and the poor monk told the fourth uncle a few days ago that he doesn't have to be like other villagers, and he can send it during the autumn harvest." ”

Di Fan was very disdainful and said: "If the crops are good now, we will send them in autumn, if the vegetables are not good at that time and the amount is not enough, what should I do?" ”

Master Zhihao said: "The poor monk can go to Master Bo Na to intercede, so that the fourth uncle can be relieved." "It turns out that Grand Master Hongtai has four apprentices, in order, Master Konghui, Master Benhui, Master Shi Hui and Master Zhihui. After Venerable Ben Hui became the abbot, he changed his name to Ben Hui Zen Master. Zhihao is the only apprentice of Master Zhihui, so he calls Master Konghui the master uncle.

Di Fan said, "I heard that Master Konghui has always been fair and strict, if he doesn't agree, what should he do? Without waiting for Zhihao to speak, Di Fan continued, "Do we have to send it again in the winter, so in the autumn and winter, do we end up hungry every day?" ”

Master Zhihao saw that Di Fan was speaking seriously, but it was also reasonable, so he was a little difficult to answer, and only said: "Amitabha, dare to ask the little benefactor's surname?" ”

Uncle Wei Ji stopped Di Fan and said, "Master Zhihao, this doll is called Chang Xiaoshan, and he is the nephew of the old and distant family. ”

Master Zhihao said: "Amitabha, the fourth uncle has a heart. The implication is that Master Zhihao is willing to let Di Fan stay in the dining room. After the dishes on the cart were counted, Master Zhihao also asked people to issue receipts, Di Fan asked Uncle Wei Ji to go back first, and under the leadership of Master Zhihao, he entered the dining room. In the dining room, a dozen or so fire-headed monks were discussing what to cook for lunch, and a few villagers were helping to wash the vegetables. One of them is called Yu Guishang, a villager from Yujia Village at the foot of Shaomu Mountain, who is the same age as Di Fan and is generally tall. After Di Fan inquired about him, he learned that the Huotou monk was worried about what to cook for the people of Huaye Villa, Miao Xiulou and the Donghai faction.

Because Miao Xiulou has business dealings with the Central Plains Qianzhuang, the owner Miao Shifa, the only son Miao Kexun and his only daughter Miao Haiqing have come to Qijiabao. Xu Zhen also cooked and feasted on them. Di Fan had an idea in his heart, but he didn't rush to talk to Master Zhihao, he only talked to Yu Guishang on the side, and the situation in Yujia Village was basically the same as that in Weijia Village.

The foreman of the Huotou monk is called Ziyou, in his thirties, with a fat brain. According to the Shaolin Temple's genealogy "Fu, Hui, Zhi, Zi, Jue", Ziyou is the next generation of Master Zhihao, and he has already seen Di Fan and Yu Guishang in his eyes, and said: "That Yu Guishang, hurry up, wash the vegetables well, don't talk nonsense, otherwise the salary will be gone." ”

Di Fan said: "Big fat monk, as a monk, he should value harmony, not attached to my appearance, nor attached to others, why embarrass him? ”

Master Zhihao was shocked and thought: It turns out that this Chang Xiaoshan knows the Dharma carelessly, and he should not be careless. Ziyou was also stunned at once, and said: "It's not me, it's not someone else's, it's a hungry face." ”

Di Fan said: "To say that there is no appearance is really to deceive people. When dealing with others, we should be those with great wisdom and great aspirations, not attached to appearances, and cultivate good deeds. As for the appearance of the stomach, I already have the appearance. ”

Ziyou wanted to speak again, but Master Zhihao stopped him and said, "Amitabha, Master Chang has a deep understanding of the Dharma, and he has offended a lot, and he is still begging Haihan." At the moment, please also ask Lord Chang to come up with an idea, don't let me wait for the guests who come from afar. ”

Di Fan said: "It's easy to say. ”

After speaking, Di Fan took a large basin, a bowl of dried plum vegetables and a bowl of sweet potato flour, put the dried plum vegetables and sweet potato flour into the basin together, scooped an appropriate amount of water into the basin, and mixed evenly. After getting ready, Di Fan said, "Make a fire and put half a pot of water in the pot." The Huotou monks were puzzled, and just did so. Di Fan went to bring a basket of eggs and a basket of washed loofahs and put them next to the cutting board. I saw that he held the knife in his right hand, cocked the blade, and leaned the back of the knife on the cutting board, took a loofah with his left hand, put it on the cutting board, and rotated close to the blade, the thin loofah skin only had a curved belt, which gradually fell off, and after all the loofahs were peeled, they were first sliced and then shredded, which were all excellent knife skills, and then the cut loofahs were put into the original basket; Di Fan took another large basin, took out the tofu from a bucket, filled the large basin eighty, and did not move; Then take a large basin, throw the eggs one by one with the left hand, and knock the eggs into the basin with the right hand, without moving; In the end, Di Fan asked one of the fire-headed monks to wash some green onions and put them on the cutting board, but he walked to the stove himself.

At this point, the water in the pot is just boiling. Di Fan asked people to bring a basket containing loofahs and three pots that had been prepared, and then poured all the loofahs into the pot and adjusted them with a spoon; When the heat came, Di Fan's right hand picked up three chopsticks, inserted them into the basin containing the tofu, pounded the tofu with the kung fu of "Golden Sage", immediately poured it into the pot, and adjusted it again; When the pot begins to bubble, Di Fan mixes the pot with plum vegetables and sweet potato flour evenly, pours it into the pot, mixes it evenly with a spoon, adds some salt, sauce and vinegar and other seasonings, and then mixes it with a spoon; In the end, Di Fan chopped the green onion, grabbed a few handfuls, and threw them back into the pot, only to see that the green onion in the pot showed a Buddha character. When everyone smelled it, the fragrance was fragrant, and they had already swallowed saliva without eating.

Di Fan said: "You can withdraw the fire." In this way, a large pot of soup was completed, and this soup was originally called four-color soup.

Di Fan said again: "Put out half a pot and entertain those people in the rivers and lakes." For other dishes and staple foods, the chefs can do whatever they want, and they don't have any objections to keeping them. ”

Ziyou said: "Then what about half a pot of soup?" ”

Di Fan smiled and said, "Don't the masters and guys in our dining room want to eat?" ”

Ziyou said: "I miss it in my heart, but there are eggs in this soup...... Amitabha. ”

I only heard a voice outside: "What a Buddha!" If you don't eat, the great monk will eat. "The firehead monk was busy giving salutes, and he called the fourth uncle. When Di Fan looked back: he was about to enter the year of the Mandate of Heaven, with a round face and big ears, a ruddy complexion, a few sparse beards floating on his chin, a yellow monk's robe, and a somewhat shabby robe on the outside. This person is the master of Master Zhihao, called Master Zhihui, called Jin Shaoshen before becoming a monk, only in charge of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and usually comes to the dining law room, so he naturally tastes some good things. His life motto: Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha stays in his heart.

When Di Fan began to peel the loofah, Master Zhihui came to the door of the dining room. At this time, he had already smelled the fragrance of the four-color soup, and he didn't hear the words of the fire-headed monks at all, so Master Zhihui picked up a spoon on the stove, scooped it up, and sent it to his mouth. After taking a sip, Venerable Zhihui closed his eyes and enjoyed, saying, "It's been a long time since I've tasted such a delicious four-color soup, it's really superb!" ”

Di Fan understood and thought: How can anyone in this Shaolin Temple know the original name of this loofah tofu egg soup and is this Master Hui and his mother old acquaintances. Master Zhihui also knew that he had missed his mouth, so he said to Master Zhihao, "Apprentice, why don't you let everyone taste it together?" But, remember, hurry up and prepare the meal in a moment. After saying that, Master Zhihui winked at Di Fan, turned around and ran. Di Fan wanted to chase, but it was too late, and Master Zhihui had long since disappeared.

After listening to Master Zhihui's words, everyone only ate a small bowl, although it was not enough to fill the mouth, but they were also in a good mood. It didn't take long for everyone to get busy. Master Zhihao had already felt that Di Fan was not an ordinary person, so he invited him to the meditation room next to him. The two sat down, and Master Zhihao gave a salute and said, "Amitabha, is the Chang donor really the Chang donor?" ”

Di Fan returned the salute and said, "In front of the master, don't say anything." In the old city of Di Fan, invited by the abbot of your temple, Ben Hui Zen Master, to visit Shaolin. I never thought that I would meet the fourth uncle at the foot of the mountain, so I took the opportunity to go up the mountain, and asked the master not to mind. ”

Master Zhihao immediately got up and said, "I don't know that Lord Di Shi is coming to this temple, and it is really fortunate to have a fate. Now that the temple is in danger, please ask Lord Di Shi to help a lot. ”

Di Fan returned the salute again and said, "Definitely." ”

Master Zhihao said, "Do you want the poor monk to go and tell the abbot?" ”

Di Fan said: "No hurry. Now there is some tension, but the real crisis is not yet here. I think your temple is also calmly coping, and there is no fear. However, if you don't let the villagers go back first, there is no need for so many people in this dining room. ”

When Master Zhihao saw Di Fan's dress, he also knew that Di Fan didn't want to reveal his identity for the time being, and said, "Amitabha, the poor monk will arrange it." ”

Di Fan said: "You must remember to give money." Also, for the time being, there is no need to invite the villagers to come again, for fear of accidentally hurting them. ”

Master Zhihao said: "Everything is up to Lord Di Shi. ”

After a while, Master Zhihao returned to the meditation room and said, "Each villager calculates his salary with twenty-five copper coins per person per day, and the poor monk has asked him to do it, but I don't know if Lord Di Shi is satisfied." ”

Di Fan nodded and said, "What is the situation in the temple now?" ”

Master Zhihao's statement is basically the same as what the party said: Kongtong sent Kongtong Sisha, Taishan sent the second generation of the head of Tiandong's first disciple Ling Fengzi, Huashan sent the second generation of the head of the first disciple Shi Qiuyu, Hengshan sent the second generation of the head of Bao Qingxuan's first disciple Tang Shanshan, Hengshan sent the second generation of the head of Mo Boyun's son Mo Dahan, and the beggar gang came the second generation of the leader Zhuang Tiangong's youngest son Zhuang Qingxin, deputy gang director Ziqi and three nine bag elders. I won't go into detail here. Everyone has rushed to the Shaolin Temple this morning, among which Yu Fen is called Feng Bingzi, and Bao Qingxuan is called Xuan Feizi. This is the reason why Master Zhihe did not let Uncle Wei Ji and Di Fan enter the Shaolin Temple through the main entrance.

Master Zhihao asked, "Why are all the apprentices sent by the various gates?" ”

Di Fan said: "It's very simple, the major sects are also too busy to take care of themselves. ”

Master Zhihao said, "Amitabha, that's the case! ”

Di Fan asked, "Who is the great monk who came just now?" ”

Master Zhihao said, "That's the master of the poor monk, Master Zhihui. Master, he only takes care of the scripture pavilion, and when he has nothing to do, he will come to the dining room. The words are eclectic, and please also ask for the Lord Haihan. ”

Di Fan smiled: "It's okay. I think that although Venerable Zhihui is in Buddhism, he is not informal, and he is also a bold person. ”

Master Zhihao said, "Amitabha. Does Lord Di Shi know when the crisis of our temple will be resolved? ”

Di Fan said: "When the bloody case of the Dama Dart Bureau is solved, your temple will naturally have no crisis." Master don't worry, it won't take a few days. However, I'm disturbing Master Qingxiu. ”

Master Zhihao naturally responded and said, "Amitabha, good, good." ”

Di Fan chatted with Master Zhihao about some careless things about Buddhism, and the two were very happy. After lunch, a man and a woman's voices came from outside, calling "Brother Di". Di Fan could hear whose voice it was, and only said this to Master Zhihao.

I don't know who Di Fan is, I don't know what Di Fan said to Master Zhihao, and I don't know when the bloody case of the Dama Dart Bureau will be solved, and when the crisis in Shaolin Temple will be resolved. For more information, listen to Chapter 28 of The Heroes of the Rocks.
