Around four or five in the afternoon.
The outside of the small restaurant is already crowded with people, and the authentic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is about to be completed. At this point, the rich aroma is restrained, and if you are far away from the small restaurant, you can't even smell the aroma. This is in stark contrast to the aroma that seemed to be omnipresent in the past two days, but the more so, the more people feel the extraordinaryness of this dish.
What kind of amazing taste will be formed if those freely evaporating aromas are concentrated together
This is really exciting.
The last dish of leftovers in the morning was sold out in the end even though the monks did not come. One bowl cost 800 yuan, and in the end more than 60 bowls were sold, making a total profit of more than 40,000 yuan. Even Han Yuyan, who had no concept of money, was stunned.
In the afternoon, the authentic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall will cost three thousand yuan a bowl. It is even more exciting to see what kind of craze it will cause.
Three thousand yuan for a small bowl of food, what does that mean
The real thing is as precious as gold.
There are probably only a very small number of people in this world who can afford such exquisite food, but when the authentic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was not yet ready, Ye Chui had already received more than a dozen reservations - after all, there are still rich people, and even if they are not rich, there are still people who are willing to spend three thousand yuan to taste this supreme delicacy.
This is definitely a dish that only an emperor could eat.
In fact, in the previous life, this dish was not only served at state banquets, but was also used to entertain heads of state such as Prince Sihanouk, US President Reagan, and British Queen Elizabeth.
Coupled with Ye Chui's cooking skills, a bowl of such a dish at three thousand yuan is not expensive at all.
It was very stuffy in the small restaurant. Although there was an electric fan next to them that was constantly flashing air, people were still sweating profusely. However, Tian Xiaodu, Han Yuyan, An Jing and Wang Shiyu were reluctant to leave. They were full of anticipation for this dish and wanted to see it completely cooked with their own eyes.
Little Wang Shiyu was holding a small bowl in her hand, waiting to enjoy the meal, while the little monkey was hiding in her cartoon schoolbag, sticking out its little head and watching Ye Chui's actions with bright eyes.
"Well, that's enough time."
Ye Chui judged the time and reached out to grab the lid of the wine jar. After six hours of stewing, all kinds of ingredients were blended in the old soup. The fragrance was completely gathered in the wine jar. As Ye Chui opened the lid,
Hot air rushed out from inside, along with a rich fragrance that spread in all directions like a strong wind and huge waves.
The fragrance felt several times stronger than the fragrance that had been lingering in the air for the past two days!
Of course, although the fragrance is much stronger than before, it is not several times stronger. This is more of a sensory illusion. When carrying out the final process, there is no fragrance of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. Everyone had smelled the fragrance for two days, but suddenly they couldn't smell it anymore. Naturally, they were looking forward to it. Now they suddenly smell it again, and the sensory shock is naturally beyond words.
The scent is intoxicating!
Shocking!
Crazy!
Xing Sen was stationed outside the restaurant. If not many people knew his identity as a food detective, there was a possibility of riots.
The fragrance seemed to have magical powers. Almost instantly, all the monks in the Zhuangyan Temple could smell the rich aroma. No matter what they were doing, they all stopped what they were doing and stared blankly in the direction where the food came from. Everyone had a complex expression of unbearable feeling in their hearts.
Inside the Punishment Hall, Huixuan, Huiyin and several other monks who were in solitary confinement were originally sitting on cushions, looking listless. After the aroma of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall disappeared, most of them gradually calmed down. At this time, they were truly repenting. However, the aroma of the finished Buddha Jumps Over the Wall entered their noses, instantly arousing their anticipation for the delicacy again.
This expectation is even stronger than before.
“The authentic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is ready!”
"This fragrance... is several times more fragrant than before!"
"I can't help it!"
"Even if the monk doesn't do it, I still want to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!"
A group of monks became excited and jumped up from the ground.
Huixuan walked to the door and knocked a few times. The door was locked from the outside. He shouted loudly: "Master Mingfeng, please open the door!"
Mingfeng was standing in the corridor in a daze. He smelled the fragrance coming from afar, and his mind was greatly shaken. He had the urge to never be a monk again and to taste all kinds of delicious food. He greedily took a few breaths of air, and then hurriedly muttered in his mouth as if he was struck by lightning: "Amitabha, sin, sin."
When he heard the knock on the door of the Punishment Hall, he snorted coldly: "What are you doing? You are making a lot of noise in the Punishment Hall! Do you want to be locked up for longer?"
"Master, I can't bear it any longer, please let me out!" a monk shouted.
"Even if you can't help it, you have to bear it. Don't forget that you are monks!" Mingfeng shouted.
"I'm returning to secular life!" a monk shouted immediately.
"And I!"
"I'm also returning to secular life!"
"We all return to secular life!"
A group of monks shouted.
Ming Feng's body shook. For this dish, his disciples were actually willing to return to secular life...
A hint of urgency involuntarily appeared on his originally stern face. If people knew that the monks in his temple had returned to secular life because of a dish, what honor would the Zhuangyan Temple have in the future
Why are those pilgrims still willing to continue throwing money into the donation box
"Amitabha." Ming Feng thought of this and immediately said, "Don't be like this, we can discuss anything..."
"Let us out first!" Huiyin's voice shouted loudly.
“Amitabha…”
"Oh your mother's head!"
"Open the door!"
"Old bald donkey, let us out!"
Several monks were now completely furious, and they banged on the door of the Punishment Hall, making the door bang non-stop.
Ming Feng was horrified. It felt as if a group of demons and monsters were imprisoned in the Punishment Hall and were about to break out. He subconsciously recited the Diamond Sutra silently, hoping to use the Buddhist sound to subdue the demons behind the door, and then...
With a bang, the door of the Punishment Hall was pushed open from the inside out.
Mingfeng felt his legs go limp and he fell to the ground. The violent monks rushed out of the temple without even looking at Mingfeng, and hurriedly ran out of the temple.
Ming Feng was startled. After he hurriedly got up from the ground, his face was full of anger again: "These bastards... Don't even think about leaving the temple! Close the door, close the door of the temple for me!"
As Mingfeng finished his words, several monks who were standing at the gate of the solemn temple to welcome pilgrims were startled. When they looked back, they saw a group of monks running outside in a disorderly manner. The monks who were in charge of welcoming the guests immediately closed the far gate of the temple - of course, modern temples do not have ordinary wooden doors, but fully electrically controlled anti-theft doors.
After Huixuan, Huiyin and the others rushed over, the monks who were welcoming guests dared not fight with them and quickly hid aside. Huiyin and the others wanted to open the door, but found that they could not open it at all. So they looked at the monks fiercely and asked, "Where is the key to open the door?"
"In... in the hands of the abbot..." the welcoming monk said hurriedly, "After the door is closed, only the abbot has the key to open it."
"Abbot..."
"He's definitely not going to let us out."
The monks looked at each other, and then they made up their minds at the same time.
“Climb the wall!”
The Zhuangyan Temple is surrounded by tall houses and walls on all sides, but there is a two-meter-high wall on the west side near the foot of the mountain. Ordinary people can climb over it with a little effort. These monks had climbed over the wall at night to go outside and surf the Internet just for fun before, so they were familiar with the route at this time.
When Ming Feng rushed over angrily, he saw the monks trying to climb over the wall. Ming Feng was so angry that his whole body began to tremble: "You bastards, you actually jumped over the wall for this delicacy!"
"Master, the name of this dish is Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. I didn't quite understand the name of this dish at first, but now I understand. For the sake of this dish, I would rather not be a monk!" Huiyin said to Mingfeng while standing on the top of the wall, and jumped to the other side of the wall.
Huixuan also stood on the wall and said, "This dish costs three thousand yuan per bowl, but Mr. Ye is very kind to us. He said that as long as we are monks, he will give us the food for free. Who will have the opportunity to eat such delicious food in their lifetime? So I'm sorry, Master."
As he said this, Huixuan also jumped over.
"Originally it was 3,000 yuan per bowl, but it's free for monks?" Mingfeng was stunned for a while after hearing Huixuan's words, then slapped his thigh, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Mingfeng couldn't bear it any longer and quickly climbed up the city wall to climb over.
But he is old, how could he be afraid of climbing up the wall
Finally, Ming Feng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He slapped his forehead and said, "Go find the abbot and find the key to the temple gate!"
As he said this, he hurried to the abbot's room, pushed the door open without knocking and walked in: "Brother Abbot, Brother Abbot! The key to the door... Hmm?"
In the past, the abbot should have stayed here at this time, but at this moment, the abbot's meditation room was empty.
"Where did the abbot go?"
Ming Feng was stunned for a while, then something came to his mind: "How could I forget the back door of the temple? The abbot has the key to the front door, and the key to the back door is in my hand, so I will go out from the back door!"
Thinking of this, he hurriedly walked towards the back door and took out the key to the back door from his pocket.
This back door is specially prepared for people of more prominent status. If any important person comes to visit the temple and it is not appropriate for him to enter directly through the front door, he will be arranged to go through the back door. Senior officials in the temple can also go out through this back door. Almost everyone has a key.
When Mingfeng arrived at the back door, he was suddenly stunned—the great monk Mingjing had just opened the back door and was about to go out...
Ming Jing is a high-ranking monk who came to the Zhuangyan Temple to give lectures on Buddhism. He usually has a key in his hand for his convenience. Looking at him now, it is clear that he is preparing to sneak out to taste Ye Chui's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall... (~^~)
