"The aroma of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall has been wafting all night. I don't know how greedy Weiwei and her mother must be in the temple. I will quickly prepare a few boxed lunches for the two monks to take back later."
Thinking of this, Ye Chui took action immediately, returned to the small restaurant and began to prepare lunch boxes for Lin Wei's family.
Of course, what he prepared for them could not be the leftovers from outside, but had to be carefully cooked. Ye Chui looked towards the freezer next to him. In order to make it as delicious as Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, he had prepared a lot of various ingredients. Finally, Ye Chui had an idea and chose abalone from them.
Abalone is rich in nutrients. Although its name contains "fish", it is actually a marine shellfish. It ranks first among the four major seafoods and is also one of the eight traditional marine delicacies of China.
Abalone is a traditional precious food ingredient in China. However, with the vegetarian movement, the preciousness of this ingredient has become unknown. It is just a slightly more precious ingredient than ordinary fish. This is also the embarrassing situation faced by many kinds of food ingredients after the ban on meat was lifted. People have become unfamiliar with meat, and the attitudes towards various types of meat that have been developed over countless years have to be re-cultivated.
The tuna that Ye Chui encountered in Hainan also received similar treatment.
Ye Chui asked Xing Sen to buy a lot of abalone, and Ye Chui decided to make a famous Chinese dish for Lin Wei's family. The name of this dish is braised abalone in red.
Because Ye Chu was processing the ingredients for Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, he originally needed to cook all the raw materials first. The kitchen utensils in this small restaurant were all available, and there was no shortage of various seasonings, so this dish of braised abalone was quickly completed.
At this time, Ye Chui wanted to cook a few more dishes, but Zhuangyan Temple was a temple after all. Although the precepts of temples nowadays were not as strict as those in ancient times, no one would say anything even if tourists brought meat into the temples, but Ye Chui could not really go too far - he used delicious food to attract monks, but it was the monks' own weak will, so he could not be blamed. But if he brought a bunch of meat products into the temple with great fanfare, that would be a provocation, which would definitely not be allowed.
So Ye Chui only made a dish of braised rainstorm, which was quite large in portion and was put into a plastic lunch box.
This is a restaurant after all, and they sell boxed lunches on weekdays.
Putting the braised abalone divided into three parts into a plastic bag, Ye Chui went outside and put some rice into the plastic bag. It happened that Hui Xuan and Hui Yin, the two monks, had already eaten their fill and were looking at the other leftovers that Chen Lao San was selling with great interest.
This dish is called leftovers, but it deserves the name of the best leftovers, it is really delicious.
There was a constant stream of customers coming to the restaurant for 300 yuan a bowl, and it looked like the bowl would soon be sold out.
"Two masters, here are some things I'd like you to bring into the temple for me." Ye Chui walked up to the two monks and handed them the plastic bag containing the lunch boxes with a smile.
Huixuan and Huiyin looked at each other at this time. They finally realized what they came here for. They both looked embarrassed and looked at Ye Chui with eyes full of anger.
This person is so cunning that he used delicious food to tempt them and made them break the precepts of not eating meat. This is simply unforgivable. Damn it, it’s really despicable…
Just as the two were complaining, they heard Ye Chui say with a smile: "This dish of mine will take three days and three nights to cook. There will be residues at dusk today. If you help me deliver these lunch boxes to the temple for my friends, I will treat you to this top-quality residue tonight, okay? I can guarantee that the residue will taste even more delicious tonight, and when this dish is completely finished the day after tomorrow, I will treat you to a bowl of the finished dish. How about it?"
The residue left over from cooking is so delicious, what would the finished product be like
"It's settled then!"
Hui Yin immediately threw away the feelings that he had just felt.
Huixuan also nodded hurriedly.
The two were also pitiful. They grew up in a temple and had never tasted such a super delicacy. Last night, they were aroused by the aroma of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall all night long and were already in a state of urgency. Ye Chui said that they could taste this delicacy tomorrow. What kind of concept and belief was that? Could those things be eaten
—In essence, not many monks really want to worship Buddha. Ye Chui had seen many similar monks in his previous life. They were called monks, but in fact they just regarded being a monk as a profession and practicing Buddhism as a kind of Buddhist study. There were even many monks who only fasted for a certain number of days and had to eat meat regularly once a week to supplement their nutrition.
The most outrageous thing is that there are quite a few monks who marry and have children.
(ps: I’m not kidding. There is a Berlin Temple in Cannon’s hometown. When I visited there before, I saw monks eating mutton hotpot in a restaurant near the temple… and they were with their wives and children.)
Then Ye Chui explained some things to the two of them, and they carried Ye Chui's special lunch boxes and went to the Zhuangyan Temple.
Returning all the way to Zhuangyan Temple, the two first came to the small courtyard where Lin Wei's family was meditating. It was morning now, and Lin Wei, Lin Zhengdao and Wu Haimei were sitting on the platform bored and complaining. This was basically how their family had been living during the past few days. Because of the delicious Buddha Jumps Over the Wall last night, Lin Zhengdao was relatively okay, but Wu Haimei and Lin Wei, the two foodies, were both exhausted, and it was obvious that they did not sleep well last night.
"Is this fragrance caused by Ye Chui? If it's him, I will definitely give him a lesson. He must have done it on purpose. I couldn't sleep for half the night last night. When I finally fell asleep, I dreamed of eating delicious food. It felt so real that it made me even hungrier." Wu Haimei complained with some disgust.
Lin Zhengdao rolled his eyes and said, "Your dream of eating last night felt so real because you were holding my arm and chewing and biting it..."
"How can grandma bear it?" Lin Wei turned her head and glanced at a house in the courtyard. That was the old Buddha's room. She had been chanting Buddha's name in it for the past two days and was not moved by the fragrance at all - her concentration exceeded that of most monks in the temple.
"Mom is determined to keep us here this time." Lin Zhengdao sighed. He vaguely understood the old Buddha's deep meaning, so before the old Buddha decided to leave, he didn't want to go against the other party's wishes.
Wu Haimei took another deep breath, and suddenly couldn't help cursing: "Little bastard, isn't it miserable enough to be locked up here? You also made this smell. When you get out, I'll teach you a lesson. Just because of this, don't even think about marrying our Weiwei smoothly in the future..."
Lin Wei blushed and said coquettishly, "Mom!"
"Why, I can't talk about him anymore?" Wu Haimei said a little unhappily.
Just at this moment, two monks Hui Yin and Hui Xuan walked in from outside the door.
The three members of the Lin family looked at them.
"Well, this is for you." Hui Yin put the plastic bag in his hand on the platform.
Lin Wei was the closest to them, and immediately asked curiously, "What is this?"
"It was Donor Ye who asked us to take you with us." Hui Xuan said with his hands clasped together, "He asked me to tell you that he will find a way to get you out of here in the next two days."
"Ye Chui?" Lin Wei's family naturally understood who this donor Ye was referring to, but the three of them were a little surprised. This monk should be standing with Ming Jing, so why
This monk actually helped Ye Chui pass the message
The most important thing is, can Ye Chu really help them leave
Lin Wei thought of something and immediately asked, "Is this fragrance everywhere caused by Ye Chui?"
"That's right, Mr. Ye is so abominable. He said he wanted to make a dish that would take three days and three nights to cook. It's really a serious sin... But it must be very delicious." Hui Yin continued. His words sounded quite confusing and full of contradictions. It seemed that Ye Chui's dishes had a profound influence on him.
"That dish was actually made by Ye Chui!" Wu Haimei sighed. Although she had scolded Ye Chui for making that smell so bad that she couldn't sleep well at night, it was actually just Lin Wei's guess. She and Lin Zhengdao didn't take it seriously. They just said it casually according to Lin Wei's statement. But now they found out that it was actually true, and Ye Chui even planned to use this fragrance to appease the monks of Zhuangyan Temple...
"I told you, Ye Chui is the best." Lin Wei immediately became excited and couldn't wait to open the plastic bag.
Huixuan and Huiyin felt it was inconvenient to stay here any longer, so they hurriedly left the meditation courtyard.
When they got outside, their expressions changed again.
"Oops, Master asked us to find out what's going on. What are we going to say later?"
"That donor Ye is really abominable. He actually made this kind of exquisite delicacy to tempt us. His crime is unforgivable... Humph, do you think our Buddhist hearts are so unsteady? Let him make this dish and see. We will definitely not be tempted!"
"That's right, let him do it and see!"
"I just don't believe I can't resist the temptation of his dish!"
The two found a reason and smiled at each other, then went to report to Mingfeng that a small restaurant had just opened outside and was cooking beef, and the smell should dissipate soon...
In a sense, the two monks have been successfully bribed by Ye Chui's delicious food.
In the meditation courtyard.
"What is this dish? It looks delicious." Lin Wei had already opened several lunch boxes. In addition to the rice, there was the braised abalone. The abalone was bright red in color, with soft and moist meat. The taste was fresh and strong, fresh but not greasy, and mellow and rich, which made people very appetizing.
Especially after staying in this temple for two days, the fragrance aroused me all night long.
The three members of the Lin family didn't eat much during breakfast, but now their appetites were aroused. Even Lin Zhengdao, who usually didn't care much about food, felt his mouth water. He smiled and nodded, "This kid is quite thoughtful."
"He is worthy of being our Weiwei's boyfriend. I always think he is a good person." Wu Haimei praised him hurriedly.
Lin Wei chuckled and said, "Mom, you were just saying bad things about him."
"What's wrong with being the future mother-in-law?" Wu Haimei said smugly, staring at Lin Wei, "But isn't it too much for you to be thinking about your husband before you even walk in the door!?"
"Mom!" Lin Wei's face turned red with shame again. She thought that her mother must have been so greedy these past two days that her mind was not clear. How could a mother joke with her daughter like this? She was not even an adult yet!
…
In the morning, after changing the ingredients of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and starting to stew again, the aroma suddenly seemed a little stronger than before, and the freshness of the ingredients was more evident, making the taste of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall even more tempting.
When Han Yuyan drove to find Ye Chui, she was surprised to see Ye Chui sitting with the owner of the small restaurant, Chen Laosan, counting money - this was the income from the leftovers in the early morning, no, it should be called the top-quality leftovers after they were completely sold out.
At 300 yuan a bowl, it was sold out in less than half an hour.
Looking at the pile of money on the table, Yechui was speechless. Sister Han's eyes widened: "Master, you have already calculated this a long time ago, right?"
"I really don't have this..." Ye Chui said with a wry smile and shook his head. After carefully counting the large stack of banknotes, there were nearly 20,000 yuan!
That large basin of residue was sold in about sixty portions, each for three hundred yuan.
Ye Chui originally made Buddha Jumps Over the Wall without considering the cost, he just wanted to "rescue" Lin Wei's family from the temple. He did not expect to make money from this, this was definitely a windfall.
"My dear little brother, you are really amazing. The dish you made is really amazing. Many people said it was delicious and nutritious after eating it. I heard that you will produce leftovers once at night, and they have already made a reservation." Chen Laosan said with a smile.
After all, this is outside the Zhuangyan Temple. Although it is the off-season recently, there are still many tourists coming here to play. Ye Chui's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is also known as Fu Shou Quan. The reason for this name is that the ingredients and condiments of this dish are extremely luxurious, which makes people subconsciously feel full of wealth. In addition, it is contaminated with the "Buddha's aura" of the temple, and the fragrance is so rich, which naturally makes people happy.
The leftovers are also treasures. Ye Chui originally didn't expect to make money from this dish, but given the current situation, it would be a shame if he didn't make a big profit.
Thinking of this, Ye Chui immediately smiled and said to Chen Laosan: "Boss, please help me spread the word. My Buddha Jumps Over the Wall will produce three more residues before it is officially served, and each time the flavor is stronger and the price is higher - a bowl of residue produced in the evening will be sold for 500 yuan, and the residue tomorrow morning will be sold for 800 yuan a bowl. The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that will be officially served tomorrow afternoon will cost 3,000 yuan a bowl!"
Hearing Ye Chui's words, Chen Laosan was stunned.
Even Han Yuyan showed a surprised expression, and whispered to Ye Chui: "Master, is this a bit of a trap?"
"I didn't plan to sell these leftovers, but didn't I sell them all at 300 yuan a bowl?" Ye Chui said with a smile, "The leftovers will taste better and better, so it's reasonable to sell them at a higher price. As for the final product, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, it's truly an imperial treat. 3,000 yuan a bowl? That's not expensive at all."
This dish is a classic dish after all, and the most important thing is that Ye Chui, the God of Food, spent a huge amount of energy to prepare it. Ye Chui doesn't feel like he's being ripped off at this price, it's worth it!
According to this price, this dish that cost 100,000 yuan can not only make back the money, but also make another 100,000 yuan... (~^~)
