Chapter 6 Jia's mother admonished the pretty mandarin ducks, and Qingwen searched for vegetarian recipes
After Qingwen and Baoyu returned to Jia's mansion, they first went to the back house to see Jia's mother.
The old lady took Qingwen's hand and smiled kindly: "Good boy, have you seen Monk Ran?" What did he tell you? ”
"I didn't say anything, I just don't know where he saw it, saying that I am more related to Buddhism than Baoyu, so I often go to him." Lin Qingwen responded with a smile.
"Since he told you to go often, you should go often." The old lady stroked her green white fingers, thoughtfully.
After Qingwen and Baoyu left, the old lady beckoned to the mandarin duck and whispered: "Mandarin duck, go and pass the word to the Feng girl, no matter where Qingwen wants to go in the future, don't ask more." Just arrange the carriage and sedan chair, and the good students will wait. ”
"Old lady, you're too indulgent of that girl, aren't you?" The mandarin duck pursed his mouth and muttered, "I have served you with all my heart and soul for so many years, and I have never seen you love me so much." ”
"You little conscienceless, I'm just too good to you, so I let you be like this."
The old lady patted the mandarin duck lightly, and said with a smile, "Your child's family can't see things clearly, let me tell you, don't you dare to underestimate Qingwen."
I don't know what great creation those two old immortals gave her that day? I deliberately asked Baoyu to take her to see her today. Even Zhiran said that she had a relationship with the Buddhist family, which must be not bad.
In my opinion, our family's future disaster relief depends on her. Even the affairs of you and these girls in our family will fall on her.
In the future, we must not neglect her, and we must compare our real master and girl with food and clothing. ”
……
Qingwen returned to Tubi Villa and silently sorted out the thoughts that suddenly arose in the temple today.
The mandarin duck pushed open the door and entered.
Qingwen smiled: "Mandarin duck, you don't listen to the announcement in front of the old lady, what are your orders for coming here?" ”
"How dare I tell Miss Qing? Now you're the old lady's heart. ”
The mandarin duck glanced at her delicately, and handed over a purse with her slender hand, "Look, the old lady is so thoughtful for you, saying that this month has not yet come to issue the monthly silver, I am afraid that you will not have the money in your hand, so I will send it."
This is a pen ingot Ruyi gold bills of ten, silver bills of ten, as well as five small goldfish, five silver peanuts, you can keep it for reward, or play by yourself. ”
"Qingwen thanked the old lady." Qingwen took the purse and did not refuse.
The silly girl of the original owner always thought that Jia's mother put her in Jia Baoyu's house and was going to be his aunt, and she would live with Jia Fu and Baoyu all her life, so she never thought of saving money by herself.
But she is different, from now on, she has to find a way to make enough money.
Right now, she had an idea, and the money came at a good time.
"The old lady's delivery, it's mine."
The mandarin duck handed over another purse, "Your identity is not ordinary now, I shouldn't have come to the water." But we have been with the old lady for many years, and the friendship is not as good as others. These things were all appreciated by the old lady in the past, and giving them to you is also a part of my heart. ”
"Thank you, Sister Mandarin Duck," Qingwen took the purse with a smile, "What did my sister say about the water?" Don't you know who I am? When we have time, we often come and sit, and we are still the same as before. ”
According to Qingwen, in the original book, the relationship between the mandarin duck and the original owner is not deep.
She regarded more than a dozen maids such as Raider and Ping'er as good sisters, but she was the only one who had not served the original owner in front of the old lady together.
is also the original owner's habit of pinching the tip to be strong, and her temperament is not forgiving, and she is not to blame people for not liking her.
Qingwen doesn't say anything, the days are still long, just deal with it slowly.
The next day, Mama Zheng led a mother-in-law to see Qingwen.
"Mama Zhao, please take a seat." Qingwen took a pestle and warmly beckoned her mother-in-law to sit down.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, how dare the old slave ask the girl to sit in person?"
Mama Zhao hurriedly took the pestle, sat down next to the pestle, and said respectfully, "If the girl wants to ask, just ask." The wife commanded that the girl should be treated as she was treated, and that she should not be disrespectful. ”
"Mama Zhao, my wife often says that the vegetarian food you make is very suitable for her taste, I want to ask what does this vegetarian food say?"
"To say that this is vegetarian, it is really exquisite."
Mama Zhao talked about her own profession, which was like a number of treasures, gushing endlessly, "People who chant Buddha are the most taboo meat, and avoid eating five meat dishes, that is, onions, garlic, leeks, shallots, Xingqu and other strange dishes; They should also avoid fishy food, and should not eat the meat and eggs of living creatures.
That's all there is left. Some people make it delicious, and some people make it bad, it's all in the combination of ingredients and the condiments used.
Mrs. has only eaten vegetarian food made by the old slave for so many years, just because the old slave can use a small number of ingredients to match different flavors, and change the tricks to make it for her. ”
"Mama Zhao, can you teach me a few of your secret recipes? I also learned to make a few dishes, so that I could show off in front of the old lady and the wife. Qingwen smiled.
"That's simple, the old slave will say a few dishes of his wife's usual favorite food to the girl."
Thousands of clothes, no sycophants, Mama Zhao was very comfortable with compliments, and proudly talked to Qingwen.
Qingwen took notes on a piece of paper and wrote down more than a dozen vegetarian recipes in a while.
……
After eating a vegetarian meal in Baiyun Temple, and inspired by the scholar of the poor family and the noble county lord, Qingwen came up with the idea of opening a vegetarian restaurant in the temple.
Although Buddhism pays attention to asceticism and does not advocate appetite, what is the sin of eating smoothly?
Moreover, the temple is not full of monks, there are also some pilgrims who borrow to stay, and there are people who come and go every day to worship the Buddha and make vows.
These people are not devout cultivators, so how can they stand the unpalatable fasting?
Opening a vegetarian restaurant there should be a good business.
The most important thing is that in such an era, in a big family like the Jia family, the girls usually don't go out of the door, and they don't step out of the door.
If she wants to go out and do business and make money, she must have a valid reason.
And Master Ranran, the abbot of Baiyun Temple, happened to give her an excuse to go out often.
She took a closer look, Baiyun Temple is very large, the front yard and the back yard add up, covering an area of thousands of acres.
In such a big place, there will always be a few spare meditation rooms or an open space for her to open a restaurant, right?
opened a vegetarian restaurant, earned enough silver taels, and found a suitable opportunity, she could leave the Jia family and enjoy it alone.
Just to open a vegetarian restaurant, a dozen recipes are not enough. Lin Qingwen sat alone for a while and went out to Tanchun.
Baochai and Daiyu were talking in the spring house, listening to Qingwen inquiring about vegetarian practices, Daiyu quipped: "People say that my sister has a relationship with the Buddhist family, and my sister is getting more and more serious." Is this really to learn from my wife, eat fasting and chant Buddha to be a good person? ”
Baochai, Tanchun, Yingchun and others laughed together.
"Don't mess around, tell me any good recipes, there are a lot of them." Qingwen laughed and scolded.
Seeing that Qingwen was serious, Baochai hurriedly said: "Earlier, in our house, I ate a few good vegetarian dishes, so I told my sister about it." ”
The Xue family was also a wealthy family, and its wealth and luxury were no less than those of Jiafu, and Baochai's insight was extraordinary.
"Hey, come and see!"
Baochai was talking, Qingwen was recording, and Tanchun, who was gathered beside her, suddenly screamed.
