"Do you still have family?" Kong Yuan asked the two children.

The eldest child shook his head: "Those people are not my relatives. ”

It is not uncommon for two children to be driven out of their parents when their parents died, and their property was seized by the clan. The two of them were desperate, so they wanted to join Buddhism. If no one had taken them in, the two children would not have survived this winter.

"Senior brother—" Kuhang had already relented.

Kong Yuan recited Amitabha Buddha and said, "Senior brother, I already have two disciples, these two children, you can accept them as apprentices." ”

In the conversation with the eldest child, Kong Xing felt that this child was very smart, and when he heard this, he happily responded: "Thank you, senior brother, for your success." ”

When the eldest child heard the conversation between the two, he knew that he and his younger brother could stay, and he would worship the empty master, so he hurriedly pulled his younger brother to kowtow to the empty line: "Meet the master." ”

Kong Xing smiled: "You kid is as smart as Yuan'an." It's not early today, and tomorrow I'll shave you again, so you can be a little novice first. ”

"Yes."

"Congratulations, uncle." Yuan An stuck his head out of the kitchen, "In order to celebrate the entry of the two junior brothers, let's eat something delicious in the evening." ”

"Oh? What's delicious? Kuhang asked with a smile.

Yuan An: "Sauerkraut cake." ”

"Amitabha." "Monks should not be greedy for food. ”

Yuan An grinned and said: "Master, today is to celebrate the apprenticeship of Uncle Shi and welcome the two little junior disciples to enter, so I'm happy to eat something delicious." ”

Kong Yuan said: "Don't take it as an example." ”

Yuan An grinned and did not agree.

Kongyuan had no choice but to shake his head.

Yuan Qing Dynasty kitchen walked over: "Little brother, I'll help." ”

The eldest child hurriedly jumped up: "I'll help the little brother." ”

Yuanqing: "You just came, I don't know anything, let's come, you take your brother to the room to rest, and call you to dinner later." ”

Older child: "I don't know which room to go to rest." ”

Yuan An said: "Yuanqing, you go and clean out the last house on your right, give them their brother to live in, and then give them three beds of the bedding we replaced, so that they can build thicker." Who, you come and help me light the fire. ”

"Oh." The older child hurried into the kitchen.

Yuanqing went to clean up the room for the two children according to Yuan'an's instructions, and Kongxing took the little apprentice into his room and put his leather coat on the child to keep the child warm.

In the kitchen, the eldest child was burning the fire, Yuan'an was branding sauerkraut cakes, and the two of them were talking in a low voice.

"How did you become a little monk?" The tone is so complaining!

Yuan An rolled his eyes: "You are also a little monk." ”

The older child complained even more: "Then why is it so miserable?!" ”

Yuan An hehe: "Don't complain, it's good now, at least we found each other so quickly." ”

When the eldest child heard this, he put away his grievances: "Well, I'm already very satisfied to be by your side." ”

The next day, Kong Xing shaved the two children, accepted them into the school, and named the two children Yuanguan and Yuanzhao respectively. After that, in addition to being responsible for cooking every day, Yuan'an didn't have to do other chores, and all the chores were left to the other three people. Yuanzhao is younger than Yuanguan, but he is very serious and diligent. In the days when he was kicked out of the family, he suffered a lot with his brother, and now he has a stable place to live, he can eat and wear clothes, he cherishes this life very much, so he has to work hard to behave and not let the master in the temple drive them out again.

Yuan'an went up the mountain again and went up with Yuanguan, a pheasant, two people can eat it all. Feeling ashamed of the four people in the temple - no way, who called the temple are real monks, and Yuanzhao is young, Yuanguan is afraid that he will leak his mouth, so he doesn't dare to give him meat - so he tried his best to search for the delicious vegetarian mountain treasures in the mountains and brought them back to the four people to eat. Mushrooms, fungus, bamboo shoots...... The two found ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum that were more than 100 years old and brought them back to stew soup for the four of them to replenish their bodies.

Kong Yuan and Kong Xing have been vegetarian for many years, come to the temple in Yuan'an to make money, and even often starve, their health is not particularly good, after drinking the ginseng live lingzhi soup made by Yuan'an every once in a while, their body gradually improved. Yuanzhao is the one who has benefited the most, the child has grown meat, and compared to the previous thin appearance, it has become much cuter now. Yuanqing also benefited a lot, even if he lived in an aristocratic family, the century-old ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum could not be eaten at will.

This winter is the happiest winter for Yuanzhao, even when his parents are not dead, he can't wear such a warm leather coat in winter, and he can't eat enough for every meal. Life is very good now, even if you can't eat meat, it doesn't matter, there are sweet sweet potatoes to eat, it's really sweet, sweeter than the piece of sugar that A-Niang stuffed him when he was a child. It's a pity that the eldest brother didn't let him eat more sweet potatoes, saying that it was heartburn.

Yuan Zhao swept the ground with a broom much taller than him, and looked at his brother and junior brother from time to time, and the two of them came back with a pile of stones and wood, not knowing what to get. Now in addition to his brother and master, the person he admires the most is the little brother. The little brother is not only able to make delicious food, but also has a lot of strength, obviously he is only one year older than himself, but his strength is about to catch up with adults.

The little brother said that he practiced the reason for the cultivation of the body, and also taught the cultivation of the body to everyone in the temple, and now everyone is practicing hard, and he will also work hard, striving to be like the little brother, practice vigorously, and be able to do more things.

"Here, according to the drawings, this should be done here." Yuan An said as he placed a stone that he had polished into a certain shape on top of another stone.

Yuanguan put his two hands on the upper and lower stones, twisted left and right, and the two stones were combined into one, which made people look amazing.

"What the hell are you doing?" Yuan Qing came back after picking up the water, looked at the strange thing between the two, and couldn't help asking.

"Oil press." Yuan An replied without raising his head, "Let's squeeze the oil ourselves, and there will be no shortage of oil for cooking and oil for ever-bright lamps in the future." ”

Especially when cooking, if there is no oil, the taste of the dish will be greatly reduced!

"Such a small oil press?" Yuanqing was surprised, although he had never seen a physical oil press, but he heard that the machines in the oil press mill were very large, where was it as small and cute as Yuan'an and they made. Can you squeeze out the oil? Yuan Qing was deeply skeptical.

"Of course." Yuan'an is full of confidence in what he has made, "We don't do oil business, and we don't need an oil press as big as an oil mill." This oil press, don't look at it small, is more useful than the oil press in the oil mill, the oil press speed is fast, the oil yield is high, and it is enough for us to use. ”
