Yin or carefully compared the rice balls on the plate, and finally chose the sugar one cautiously, picked it up and took a bite.
Neither Zhou Man nor Bai Shan was in a hurry to eat, they looked at him with their chins propped up, "How is it?"
Yin or chewed it carefully, nodded and said, "Not bad, slightly sweet, very fragrant, just chew a few times, the sweetness of glutinous rice is on the lips and teeth."
Zhou Man smiled and said complacently: "My sister-in-law said that this glutinous rice is so sweet and fragrant, and the grains are distinct, because the steamer is so good."
Bai Shan: "The steamer was made by Brother Zhou with bamboo from the mountain. Since I found out that the glutinous rice steamed in bamboo baskets is better, every household in our village uses bamboo baskets to steam glutinous rice."
Zhou Man: "My second brother made a fortune because of it."
She happily took a bite of a bacon rice ball, nodded repeatedly, "It's still so delicious."
Yin He: "Sister-in-law Zhou's craftsmanship is so good, have you ever thought about passing it on?"
Zhou Man sighed, "Our family also wants to, but it seems that there is no such gifted child in our family now, alas."
Bai Shan: "Write a recipe for sister-in-law?"
Zhou Man waved his hand and said, "Go back and tell Wutou and them, it's good to leave this kind of thing to them, but my sister-in-law can't make this taste even if I teach it to my family, let alone just read the recipe."
Bai Shan: "Then just wait for someone with talent."
If you want to achieve the ultimate in a line of business, you must have talent. .
This is true for reading, studying medicine, cooking, and practicing Taoism.
After dealing with the matter of divorce, they went to the Taoist temple in a bullock cart the next day.
Because it is the autumn harvest time, there are not many pilgrims in the Taoist temple, not even the Taoist priest.
The little Taoist who received them gave them guidance with a serious face, "The layman here offers incense."
Zhou Man glanced at the empty hall behind him, and asked, "Is the Lord Shouqing not here?"
Xiao Daotong: "The master of the temple is not in the temple if he has something to do. If a layman asks for the hexagram, he can ask for the hexagram first. When the Taoist priest Shoucai returns at noon, he can explain the hexagram."
"Don't, how dare I ask the Daoist Shoucai to explain the hexagram for me," Zhou Man said, "Just let the Daoist Shoushi come, but they are going to harvest rice now?"
Xiao Daotong's serious expression froze, and he raised his head, "You know?"
"Of course I know. Which field are they cutting?"
Xiao Daotong: "The big one in Shannan was cut in half yesterday."
"Are there many people?"
"Everyone in our temple has gone, there are eleven people."
Zhou Man then turned his head and said to Ming Da: "Then let's sit down for a while, and we should be able to come back."
Xiao Daotong was very curious, "Do you know our Guanzhu?"
"I know you, we are good friends with Dao and Dao Xu, what generation are you from?"
Xiaodaotong was pleasantly surprised, "Are you friends of the uncle?"
He looked them up and down, and exclaimed: "I see, are you Young Master Bai and Miss Man from Qili Village?"
Bai Shan nodded with a smile and asked, "You know us too?"
"I know, I know, you wait, I'll call you the temple master." After saying that, he left them and ran away.
In an instant, they were the only ones left in the whole hall. Two pilgrims came out from the back hall with baskets in their hands. Hastily, "The priests are not here, why are there noble people coming to offer incense at this time?"
"The nobleman still talks about the time, so there must be no need to go to the ground, how is it like us?"
"But the two standing in front just now look familiar to me, as if I've seen them before."
"It looks familiar to me too, but I can't remember where I've seen it before."
The two went down the mountain while discussing, and when they were far away, Zhou Man whispered: "I also think they look familiar, they seem to be from Dali Village."
Bai Shan nodded, looked left and right, and said, "Let's go, let's pay homage to Tianzun first."
They brought their own incense, and worshiping Tianzun is also a habitual operation, especially Zhou Man Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, their movements are particularly fluent, offering incense and prostrating is as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water.
After paying homage to all the gods and Taoists in the temple, Bai Shan led them directly to the apse.
The apse is where the priests lived, and the large yard was filled with tables and chairs as before.
He pulled the chair away and motioned everyone to sit down, "It's not far to the south of the mountain. It takes about a quarter of an hour to run down from here, but it may take two to three quarters of an hour to climb up, so let's sit for a while."
Yin or shook his fan and said, "This temple doesn't have any amazing scenery at first glance, but it is very comfortable. After a long time, it makes people feel refreshed."
Zhou Man smiled and said: "You haven't been to the vegetable garden of the Taoist temple yet. There is a stone protruding in the air in the vegetable garden. The view there is very good. Daohe often meditates there and thinks. It's just that Daoist Shouqing is too stingy. Refusing to open up to people."
"Nonsense, when did I become stingy?" Shouqing walked in with a smile, and asked loudly, "Did I stop you from going?"
Zhou Man and Bai Shan Bai Erlang got up immediately and saluted happily, "Daoist Shou Qing!"
Shouqing returned a salute, looked them up and down, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Growing up, growing up, but the appearance has not changed much, and the face has opened up a lot. It seems that the two young laymen have learned a lot these years. ah."
Shouqing invited a few people to sit down, and said to Xiaodaotong who followed up out of breath, "Go and serve tea to the honored guests."
Bai Shan introduced Princess Mingda and Yin Ru to him.
Shouqing didn't expect to see the princess, he was surprised for a while, and bowed respectfully, and after bowing with Yin or, he looked at his face and said: "This layman seems to have some deficiency."
Zhou Man nodded again and again, "Master Shouqing, your medical skills are getting better and better."
"Don't flatter me, how can I have you?" Daoist Shouqing stroked his beard and said, "What I know is just the ability to observe words and expressions. I can see that the layman's face is slightly pale and his lips are pale. You should have a good reputation when you go up the mountain." It’s been a while, but he’s still breathing unsteadily, and it looks like he’s not in good health.”
Priest Shouqing asked Zhou Man, "Why, you didn't cure him?"
Zhou Man said: "My ability is limited now, why don't the Taoist chief take a look for him?"
Even if there is no cure, it is okay for everyone to discuss and broaden their thinking.
Daoist Shouqing was also itchy, so he responded and put his hand on Yin Yu's pulse for consultation.
After some questioning, he came to a conclusion, "The layman is very talented in cultivating the Tao. Have you ever thought about being my lay disciple? I also have a disciple named Daohe, and he is also very spiritual."
Bai Shan: "Daoist Shouqing, they have met, this time we are here, one is to pay homage to Lord Tianzun, and the other is to send Taoism and entrusted things."
As soon as he heard that they knew each other, Taoist Priest Shouqing became even more excited, and stopped feeling his pulse. He grabbed Yin He's hand and said, "Layman Yin, have you never thought about cultivating Taoism? With your talent, if you concentrate on cultivating Taoism, you will be able to do so in time." Great success."
Yin Ju: "Master Zhiren of Huguo Temple also told me this."
Zhou Man and the four on the side were holding tea and eating melons, and were amazed in their hearts. It's a pity that Master Zhiren is not here, otherwise we can see a big show of Buddhism and Taoism robbing people.
