Chapter 393, bamboo tube fragrant rice
Although there are no other pilgrims in this Guanyin Temple, but the incense has been curling in the Guanyin Temple, the huge gilt incense burner has been filled with incense, the incense mist is swirling, and the appearance of the gilded Guanyin that is more than a foot high on the Buddha shrine is a little shadowy.
In front of the Buddha shrine, two large and one small futon have been prepared.
Obviously, it is specially prepared for His Majesty the Fourth Master, Yao Jiaxin and Hong Xiaoxu.
Zhang's mother, who was quick-eyed, hurriedly put the sixth elder brother in front of the little futon.
Yao Jiaxin smiled slightly, took Hong Xiaoxu's little hand, pointed to the tall gilded Guanyin statue, and said, "Do you recognize it?" ”
Hong Xiaoxu tilted his neck, looked at it carefully, and then tilted his head and said, "Guanyin Niangniang?" ”
Yao Jiaxin bowed.
"But-" Hong Xiaoxu bit his finger, "It's so big!" ”
Yao Jiaxin smiled, in the past, in the garden, Yao Jiaxin took Hong Xiaoxu to Cihang Pudu, where a statue of Guanyin was also enshrined, but it was not as big as the one in front of him.
Master Abbot Huikong's smile was extremely kind: "Guanyin Pudu sentient beings, in the eyes of sentient beings, it is naturally tall and majestic, which is admirable. ”
Yao Jiaxin couldn't help but complain in her heart: It was His Majesty the Fourth Master who spent a lot of silver, so this Guanyin is so big!!
Yin Zhen also showed a kind smile, he touched the forehead of the immature young son, and said, "Kowtow to Guanyin Bodhisattva, she will bless you with peace for a lifetime." ”
As he spoke, the family of three knelt neatly on the soft futon. Although Yao Jiaxin didn't believe in any gods and Buddhas, she followed the customs of the locals, and knelt down respectfully and kowtowed deeply.
Kowtowed for a moment, and couldn't help but glance at Hong Xiaoxu next to him,
Hong Xiaoxu was fat and small, and when he knelt down, he fell down directly, and the whole person collapsed on the futon, stretched out his limbs, and spread out a meatloaf.
Good guys, five bodies to the ground!
Kowtowed, Yao Jiaxin stood up and was about to pick up Hong Xiaoxu, and then Mother Zhang, who was standing behind, had already helped the sixth elder brother up with her eyes and hands, squatting aside to pat the non-existent dust.
The sanitation here is excellent, probably for the sake of welcoming His Majesty the Fourth Master, and it has been specially cleaned.
Master Huikong stroked his snow-white long beard, smiled kindly, and his whole body seemed to be dyed with Buddha nature, he put his hands together and saluted, "Master Huang and Mrs. Huang have come from afar with the young master, it is really hard, please go to the incense room to enjoy some fasting meals." ”
When it comes to fasting, Yao Jiaxin is really hungry.
I just made a few early in the morning, and I did it for an hour just by car, and then I climbed so many steps! This will be an empty stomach, and he will have no strength in his body.
She is not like Hong Xiaoxu, she can still eat milk from the mobile milk depot on the road.
The incense room for pilgrims to rest is in the backyard, and the entire backyard is planted with purple bamboo, and the wind blows Xiaoxiao, which is quite elegant. It's just that these purple bamboos should have only been planted for a year, and the bamboo poles have not completely turned purple and black, but are covered with purple spots, which look a little like Xiangfei bamboo.
Purple and red mottled, the thousand poles of purple bamboo are slender and slender, and there are yellowed bamboo leaves.
This Guanyin Temple's vegetarian fast, Yao Jiaxin didn't have much hope of blessing, as long as it was more exquisite, it would fill his stomach.
It's just that she didn't expect it to be more delicate and delicious than she imagined.
The staple food is bamboo fragrant rice, and the fragrance of bamboo and rice converge to form a tangy fragrance. A bamboo tube about the thickness of an adult's wrist is filled with good fragrant glutinous rice and an appropriate amount of mountain spring water, roasted in the fire, baked until the bamboo tube is browned, and then split the bamboo tube to enjoy.
In fact, the authentic bamboo tube fragrant rice, with lean pork added to it, is just a place of Buddhism, of course, you can't eat meat. Therefore, it was replaced with red dates, and the rice was mixed with the sweetness of red dates, which had a unique flavor.
The vegetarian dishes are also very exquisite, all made with fresh ingredients, such as fried bamboo shoots with three shreds, which are really cut as thin as hair, and the heat is also in place, this craft is definitely not inferior to the imperial kitchen!
There is also fresh mushroom choy sum, braised tofu, and mushroom soup made with wild mushrooms in the mountains.
It's delicious.
Yao Jiaxin only learned later that the cook of this Guanyin Temple was the retired chef in charge of the palace, the kind who was good at vegetarian food.
After eating and drinking, Yao Jiaxin asked curiously: "Master, there don't seem to be other pilgrims in this Guanyin Temple." ”
Yin Zhen said lightly: "Well, it will be there from tomorrow." ”
I see, it's not open to the public yet.
After all, this is a royal temple, and it is okay if it is not open to the public.
Yin Zhen smiled slightly and said: "Since this Guanyin Temple has been built, it is natural to let the people worship with incense, so that the Bodhisattva can listen to the sufferings of the people." ”
Yao Jiaxin couldn't help but complain: A gilded Bodhisattva, no matter how tall and glorious it looks, it doesn't have that function.
She smiled: "The Bodhisattva is a busy man, and the suffering of this people is not as much as begging the Bodhisattva, but begging you." ”
Hearing this kind of sycophancy, although Yinzhen was happy in his heart, his face was pale: "Don't be disrespectful to the Bodhisattva!" ”
Yao Jiaxin stuck out her tongue and didn't say much.
At this time, Hong Xiaoxu, who was full of food and drink, tugged at her horse-faced skirt, "Eniang~ Go play!" ”
Yao Jiaxin, who was full of food and drink, didn't want to move, according to her wishes, she just wanted to lie down and take a nap. These little kids are too energetic, aren't they?
With a wave of his hand, he instructed the nurse, nanny and others: "Take it out to play, remember not to go too far!" ”
This Buddhist temple has not yet been entered by outsiders, but it is also safe. Ask the nurses and nannies to take care of it.
And Yao Jiaxin drank the tea in the temple, chatted with His Majesty the Fourth Master, looked at the Xiaoxiao Zizhu outside the window, and felt comfortable.
Yinzhen is also in a very good mood today, "Guanyin sends a child, I hope I can add some more heirs." ”
Yao Jiaxin muttered: "Wang Changzai's fetal image has been stabilized, and he will be able to add an elder brother to the emperor in the coming year." ”
Yin Zhen looked at her face with a smile, and couldn't help but scratch the tip of her slightly reddened nose, "I look forward to Tian'er giving me another son and a half daughter." Wang's pregnancy came unexpectedly, although it was a happy event, but I didn't feel much joy.
Yao Jiaxin lowered her head and didn't speak, and His Majesty spent a huge amount of money to build Guanyin Temple with His Majesty the Fourth Master is this purpose??
What a waste!
Hong Xiaoxu is happily pregnant today, like a bird out of the cage, fluttering and running into the purple bamboo forest. A dry nurse, nanny, and eunuch hurriedly followed, guarding left and right, for fear that one of the sixth elder brothers would accidentally fall.
Hong Xiaoxu, who was like a headless fly, turned around, and ran to the vicinity of the West Corner Gate.
The door in the west corner was ajar, and a novice stood inside the door, and outside the door was a man dressed in black shorts, who seemed to be a farmer, who looked less than thirty years old, and whose hands and feet were not as rough as those of a farmer, but very delicate.
The man had a seemingly innocent smile on his face, a pair of triangular eyes, but a pair of sinister eyebrows and mouse eyes glanced, "Master, you are a Buddhist, and you are compassionate, just pity me!" This year's harvest is really poor, can this rent be reduced by one or two? ”
Xiao Shami frowned: "This year's rain is abundant, and the gifts given by the Holy Lord are all high-grade fertile fields, how can the harvest be poor?" ”
The man smiled innocently, "That...... This one...... The insects were recruited, but they could not be eradicated, so the harvest was not good. ”
The little novice was displeased: "But other tenants have a good harvest, why is your harvest not good?" Zhang Ershou, I'm afraid you're lazy, right? "This novice is not stupid, when he sees that Ershou doesn't even have a calloon on his hand, he must be a lazy man.
Hearing this, the man named Zhang Ershou suddenly turned pale, and his tone was a little unkind: "Little monk, you have to talk about evidence!" I, Zhang Ershou, am the most diligent person in ten miles and eight townships! ”
That Zhang Ershou looked proud: "Our Zhang family is diligent and thrifty, and my mother-in-law was also elected to the palace by the *** government and became the nurse of the sixth elder brother!" ”
