Fang Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't know you were coming, but the poor monk only cooked for one person. How can we divide it?"

Wang Yougui, Yang Ping, and Tan Juguo were immediately dumbfounded. They ran in to take a look at the pot, but it was just for one person! Just a big bowl of rice at most!

When he originally heard that there was only one serving, Wang Yougui wanted to cook something more. But when he looked at the rice in the pot and saw the heat dissipating, he immediately swallowed the words that came to his lips. His saliva flowed out uncontrollably, and he asked, "What kind of rice is this? Why is it so beautiful?"

Yang Ping also praised: "Oh my god, is this made of crystal?"

Tan Juguo said with a shocked look on his face: "I have been dealing with rice all my life, and I have never seen such good-looking rice or such fragrant rice! Founder, do you still have the seeds of this kind of rice? Can you give me some?"

Wang Yougui and Yang Ping looked at Fang Zheng at the same time.

Fang Zheng smiled bitterly. He only had one seed for this rice. He didn't even know where his next meal would be. Where could he get more seeds for Tan Juguo? So Fang Zheng shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, Grandpa Tan, I don't have any extra money. To be honest, I haven't decided where to eat next year. The cultivation of this rice is very particular, and even a little mistake can be made." We gave up halfway. Moreover, it seems that only this mountain can grow such rice, and we can’t even go out.”

Yang Ping's eyes lit up and he said: "Fangzheng, your rice is delicious and beautiful. If you can sell it, you will definitely make a lot of money! With money, do you still worry about food? You can even The temple has been expanded. The temple is big, and if the village chief and old secretary help you shout outside, there will definitely be more people coming to offer incense. Is this temple prosperous? "

Wang Yougui nodded and said, "Yang Ping is indeed an accountant. That's well said."

However, Fang Zheng shook his head and said: "The poor monk is a monk, why do you need so much money? If the temple is not big, a big heart is enough. As for seeds, the poor monk really doesn't have any extra."

Yang Ping saw that Fang Zheng was stubborn and uncivilized, so he had no choice but to stare and get worried.

It was Tan Juguo who understood Fang Zheng and came to the rescue: "Okay, okay, the temple is Fang Zheng, he can do whatever he wants, what are you coming up with? Fang Zheng, although this rice is not much, we are just trying it out." , just eat a little bit per person and taste it."

Hearing this, Yang Ping nodded slightly, a little unhappy in his heart, and said maliciously: "The rice that smells fragrant may not be delicious! This rice must be average..."

On the other side, Fang Zheng didn't know what Yang Ping was thinking. According to Mr. Tan, he divided the food into four portions, one small bowl per person, and then the four of them ate in the kitchen. The main thing is that it only lasts two or three mouthfuls per person, so it’s meaningless if you can’t get out.

However, Yang Ping quit and shouted: "Fangzheng, there is only rice? Is there no food?"

Fang Zheng pointed to the pickled wild vegetables on the stove and said, "There are some here, do you want to eat them?"

Yang Ping glanced at it, shook his head with disgust and said, "Forget it, let's eat. It smells delicious. I don't know how it tastes... Uh, Secretary Tan, what's wrong with you, Village Chief Wang? Are you choking?"

Before Yang Ping finished speaking, he saw Secretary Tan crazily stuffing rice into his mouth after taking a mouthful of rice, then his face turned red and tears came out.

Wang Yougui was not much better either. He looked as if he had been hungry for ten or eight years.

After hearing Yang Ping's question, both of them ignored him.

Fang Zheng was also afraid that the two of them would choke, so he asked, "Do you want some water?"

The two of them shook their heads collectively and gave Fang Zheng a big roll of his eyes, making Fang Zheng confused. Isn't this too ignorant of good people's hearts? But looking at the red faces of the two of them, Fang Zheng was really worried. However, there was nothing he could do if the two of them refused to drink water.

Yang Ping looked at the rice in the bowl suspiciously. Under the sunlight, the rice was really like crystal, shining with crystal light, as if it was covered with a layer of sunshine. It was extremely beautiful.

Yang Ping was admiring it when he heard Wang Yougui say: "Xiao... Yang, if you don't want to eat it, just give it to me and don't look at it."

Tan Juguo also said: "Give it to me."

Yang Ping looked at the two people's eyes like hungry wolves and ate quickly, fearing that he would be snatched away if he finished his meal too late.

After taking a mouthful of rice, Yang Ping's eyes brightened and got bigger! The grains are plump and smooth in the mouth. When you take a bite, the soft shell outside the rice grains breaks open, extruding a rich aroma, with a hint of sweetness! What’s filling your mouth is not rice, it’s the taste of happiness!

Then Yang Ping couldn't help but start eating. After three times and five times two, he finished a bowl of rice! Then he sadly discovered that he had choked too!

"Would you like some water?" Fang Zheng came over with dignity.

Yang Ping gave Fang Zheng a big roll of his eyes, and then shook his head desperately.

Fang Zheng was puzzled, what happened to these three people? You're so choked, why don't you drink water

At this moment, Fang Zheng saw the eyes of three people turning to him at the same time! To be precise, it was thrown into the bowl in his hand!

Fang Zheng suddenly felt like he was being targeted by a hungry wolf. He quickly shook his head and said, "No! This is mine! How can I have breakfast? Don't even think about it."

After saying that, Fang Zheng sat aside, picked up his chopsticks, and took the wild vegetables. After he was ready, he started to eat slowly.

As a result, I picked up a mouthful of rice and before I put it in my mouth, I heard three gurgles and the sound of swallowing.

Fang Zheng looked up and saw the regret on the three people's faces, as if they were dead children!

Fang Zheng said: "What's wrong with you?"

Yang Ping said with a tearful voice: "I shouldn't have seen it. The village chief, secretary, and so on, I had to leave first. I can't stand it anymore. I can't stand it anymore."

After saying that, Yang Ping left.

Wang Yougui and Tan Juguo looked at each other and said goodbye immediately. However, before leaving, Tan Juguo asked earnestly: "Fangzheng, will you still have this rice in the future?"

Fang Zheng said in confusion: "It depends on how the incense in the temple is. If the incense is strong, I have the motivation to plant more. If the incense is not strong, why should I plant so much? One person can't eat much."

Wang Yougui immediately said: "You should increase production. We will help you publicize it when we get back. I dare not say anything else. At least people in the village will still come up to offer incense. Moreover, I heard that the country has also recently supported the construction of temples. If you can apply for funds, your temple can be expanded soon."

Fang Zheng stood up quickly, put his hands together and saluted, "Thank you so much, Uncle Wang."

Wang Yougui smiled and said, "Don't thank me, I ate it just for your sake."

Fang Zheng smiled and didn't take it seriously. The expansion of the temple was not a small matter. How could it be expanded just for the sake of food? That's too childish.

After Wang Yougui and Tan Juguo were sent away, Yizhi Temple became quiet again.

Fang Zheng could finally eat quietly, but as soon as he picked up the bowl, a pair of sharp eyes stared at him, looking straight at him! He couldn't eat any more immediately. When he looked down, he saw a lone wolf.
