The handicraft world of the future

"What? Isn't the presiding master welcome?"

Lin Xiaohai smiled and put down the tea in his hand.

"The benefactor is joking." The host shook his head.

"Hehe, I just want to be quiet and quiet."

Lin Xiaohai looked at the burning sandalwood in the presiding room, the white smoke rushed straight into the roof, and then disappeared.

"The benefactor can go to the Avalokitesvara statue to recite scriptures, and maybe he can find a moment of peace."

The host stood up and took Lin Xiaohai to the room where the image of Guanyin was enshrined.

"Thank you for hosting."

Usually outsiders are not allowed here, but Lin Xiaohai entrusted him with the blessing of being the original author of the Guanyin statue.

Lin Xiaohai sat cross-legged in front of the Avalokitesvara statue, and there was a small table in front of him with a Buddhist scripture on it. Lin Xiaohai warmed up a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, turned the beads with one hand, and gently recited the Buddhist scriptures in his mouth. Character.

There are not many words in a Heart Sutra, but Lin Xiaohai recited it very slowly. He read a Heart Sutra for about ten or twenty minutes, and then restarted and read it again.He read it until the monks in the monastery came to call him to the fasting hall for fasting.

When Lin Xiaohai came to the Zhaitang, he found that everyone had already arrived, and he was the only one waiting.He clasped his hands together and saluted everyone apologetically. He forgot the time while chanting sutras.The monks in Jingfo Temple smiled tolerantly, not only did not blame him, but let him sit in the middle of the monks and eat with everyone.In Jingfo Temple, there is no class distinction for daily meals. Everyone is a monk, and all living beings are equal, so naturally they will not be divided into classes.

Therefore, there are only a few very large tables in the entire Zhaitang, and the monks sit around the tables.

Today, he took out all his crafts at the bottom of the press box, Lin Xiaohai looked at the fragrant vegetarian dishes, and thanked the master in the dining room.I took a sip, and it was still the same as before.

"delicious."

Just three words, all the monks laughed.

Then everyone started to eat the vegetarian meal quietly, and Lin Xiaohai did the same.

The vegetarian meal was delicious, and Lin Xiaohai didn't want to enjoy it to himself. After asking the kitchen master, he asked him to help him set up a few tables for himself, and then Lin Xiaohai sent someone to deliver the vegetarian food to the Lin family.

Looking at these tables of vegetarian dishes, Mr. Lin was very excited. If Patriarch Lin hadn't supported him, he might have fallen down because of being too excited.

"I'm going to Bai's house tomorrow, and you can make arrangements after the birthday banquet is over."

Elder Lin whispered in his son's ear.

"Yes, father. My son will make arrangements, don't worry."

Patriarch Lin also answered in a voice that no one else could hear.

"Well, I've always been at ease when you do things." Otherwise, he wouldn't have passed on the position of Patriarch to this son.

Vegetarian dishes are limited, only available on a few tables representing status and generation, and others can only watch.It's not that they haven't eaten vegetarian food, but that this vegetarian food represents a status symbol, and the people who can sit at those tables are all people of high status.

Of course, the Bai family and the Feng family are also part of these people, even the children of the Bai family, but they didn't come because they still have to go to school today. Don't worry if they don't eat vegetarian food. Don't forget to send vegetarian food The person who came was their own father, and no one would forget their own children if they were forgotten!

So when the children arrived home in the afternoon, not to mention the steaming vegetarian dishes, there were also a lot of vegetarian snacks, all made by the kitchen masters for the children.Every year, the children will go to Jingfo Temple with their parents, so they are also very familiar with the monks of Jingfo Temple. Every child has found his own friends in Jingfo Temple, including the Four Treasures and Five Treasures.

"Daddy, when are we going to find Mingming?"

Sibao missed his good friend, and he was talking about a young monk named Jingming in Jingfo Temple.

"Not yet, aren't you writing to him every day?"

There are many bodyguards and servants in the family. Sibao writes letters to talk with Jingming every day. He just asks someone to deliver the letter, and then he just brings Jingming's letter back. It is very convenient.

"But writing a letter doesn't mean meeting each other!"

Sibao sighed, so annoyed!Can't meet with good friends.

"..."

Do kids nowadays like to sigh so much?This is the case with Wubao, and so is their elder brother, each of them is like a human being. Adults like Lin Xiaohai are sometimes played by a few children. At this time, Lin Xiaohai deeply doubts who is the adult Who is the child?

"When you're free next time, I'll send someone to pick up Jing Ming as a guest at home."

Jingfo Temple is a quiet temple, Lin Xiaohai didn't want to disturb the quietness of the temple all the time, so he had to find another way to appease his fourth son.But it was also because Jingming was young, and the people in the temple did not discipline him as strictly as adult monks.

"Okay, that's all."

Still suspecting, Lin Xiaohai was sweating profusely.

Of course, Lin Xiaohai will do what he promised his son. The next day the children don’t have to go to class. The orphan at the gate of the Buddhist temple was picked up by the monks to be raised by the abbot.As it turned out, the child was unexpectedly smart and precocious, no worse than the children of the Bai family.It surprised Lin Xiaohai in every way, and at the same time he often gave him the books on Wubao learning. Unexpectedly, this child could master each book thoroughly through self-study or ask the monks in the monastery.

"These days, children are so scary, is there any way for adults to live?"

Lin Xiaohai, who was despised by a few brats, burst into tears, because he didn't understand the conversation between Wufu and Jinghui just now.

"Yes, here is the harbor where you would rather die, come on! Throw yourself into my arms."

Bai Qiuyu opened his hands and said to Lin Xiaohai.

"Go aside."

Turning the person off, he has to cook vegetarian food for two young monks. His vegetarian food was learned from the master of the dining room of Jingfo Temple, and he was praised by the master of the dining room.

At ten o'clock in the morning, it was time for the children to have tea, and Lin Xiaohai accompanied several children to have tea.

Instead of using the usual pot, I replaced two new pots.The vegetarian dishes made are also delicious, Jingming and Jinghui eat very sweet.

"Uncle Benefactor, the vegetarian food you made is delicious!" Jing Ming said to Lin Xiaohai while eating. He is two months younger than Jing Hui, the youngest in the temple, and the most loved by everyone A young monk.Therefore, his personality is very cheerful and lively. Seeing him like this, the monks didn't want to obliterate his nature, so they let him go in the temple.

Donor uncle?What kind of strange name is this? When Lin Xiaohai heard it for the first time, he still couldn't react.Just when he was about to answer, he suddenly heard the butler bring someone in, and turned his head to look amused.

It turned out that Mr. Lin was walking in accompanied by Patriarch Lin, and saw two young monks in the courtyard who were stunned for a moment and even forgot to say hello.

"Why did you come here?"

Lin Xiaohai didn't even get up, he was an elder in front of these two people, it was fine for him to sit, but if he stood up to greet them, these two people would be terrified.

"I came here to thank Master Lin for the gift, and yesterday's vegetarian food, which we enjoyed in front of our eyes and in our mouths."

The Lin family couldn't call Lin Xiaohai Patriarch, so they had to call him a master along with others, but this master was different from the master in other people's mouths, showing a sense of intimacy.

"Hahaha, as long as you like it. I'm also very happy to see the offspring of my brothers live a long life."

When mentioning his elder brother, Lin Xiaohai was immediately sad.After he traveled through the millennium, he hadn't seen them for many years, not even a single photo. Later, after the Lin family found out about him, they sent a few preserved images of their ancestors.

"Master Lin..."

Elder Lin looked at Lin Xiaohai who was in a sad mood, he didn't know how to comfort this ancestor who was far away from his relatives.It is a blessing for them to meet their ancestors thousands of years ago, but for Lin Xiaohai, it is not known whether it is a blessing or a misfortune.Of course, Lin Xiaohai himself may say that this is a kind of blessing, because he has found a life partner after coming to Millennium, and has several lovely children with him.But it cannot be denied that this kind of blessing is mixed with a touch of regret.

The regret of being far away from relatives may only be made up in dreams.

"Stop talking, come in with me! Four treasures, five treasures, call your friends, can you do it?"

Lin Xiaohai stood up, and the Lin Patriarch, who was supporting Mr. Lin, quickly stepped forward to support him. No matter how much younger Lin Xiaohai was than Mr. Lin, his seniority is a big killer. People in the future are indifferent to human feelings. Indifferent to relatives, Lin Xiaohai is their direct ancestor.

"Yes." The two children answered loudly, they can.

"Okay, Daddy trusts you."

After speaking, he explained to the two young guests, and after getting their understanding, Lin Xiaohai took Mr. Lin and the others back to the hall.

"Sit." Let the housekeeper serve tea and snacks, which are his new dishes today.

"good to eat."

The foodie owner Lin couldn't help but eat a few more pieces. The taste of this vegetarian dish is very light, but it has a tea fragrance, and it can't be better with a cup of green tea.

"As long as you like it, you can eat more if you like it."

Lin Xiaohai ordered two more dishes, this time the smell was floral, the smell of roses and jasmine they often eat.

"Later, I will ask Master Lin to pack some. I want to take it home and ask the old lady to taste it."

With such a delicious and vegetarian dish, Mr. Lin doesn't know how to eat alone, and he loves his wife very much.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to pack a few more boxes later. Just say what you like, and you don't need to be polite to me."

Lin Xiaohai said to Patriarch Lin.

"I won't be polite to Master Lin."

Patriarch Lin said with a smile, it would be too boring to be polite to his elders.In the Lin family or other places, Patriarch Lin needs to maintain his majesty as the patriarch, but in front of Elder Lin and Xiaohai Lin, he is just a junior, and he doesn't mind his gluttonous image being known by them. Relax yourself in front of him, Patriarch Lin will not ask for a wry smile and put on his identity.

"That's very good." Lin Xiaohai laughed as soon as he heard it. He didn't like this junior being restrained in front of him. It would make him look very strict. However, he himself is not a strict person by nature, and he thinks he is serious and serious. Words like that didn't fit him.

It was rare that the juniors came to visit me and gave them some good ingredients. Lin Xiaohai kept them for dinner, and of course lunch as well.Originally, Lin Xiaohai was planning to cook a big meal, but when he saw the ingredients they brought, he immediately remembered a very famous dish. It happened that he was looking at the recipe of this dish recently and planned to try it today.

Looking at the time, it was almost ready, Lin Xiaohai asked Mr. Lin and Patriarch Lin to sit in the hall, and called Bai Yuzhi down to accompany the guests.Then he went to the kitchen to get busy, frying, frying and frying non-stop.

And the uncle chef of the Bai family was also helping out. With him, Lin Xiaohai joined Lin Xiaohai much faster, and even found time to cook several vegetarian dishes.

Because there was a big meal in the evening, we ate a simple meal at noon, and we all ate a vegetarian meal with two young monks.It is definitely a kind of happiness to eat once in a while, and it can clear the stomach by the way.

Put all the materials in a jar that looks like a wine jar, but it is actually a wine jar.

Lin Xiaohai stacked dozens of ingredients layer by layer and put them in a hundred-year-old Shaoxing wine jar, poured a proper amount of soup and Shaoxing wine to fully blend the soup, wine, and vegetables, and then sealed the mouth of the jar with lotus leaves Cover tightly and heat on the fire.The use of fire is also very particular. It is necessary to use white charcoal that is solid and heavy without smoking. First boil it on a strong fire, and then simmer slowly on a slow fire for five or six hours.

After writing this, everyone knows that what Lin Xiaohai is going to do is Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, this super delicious famous dish.

But today is his first time, and he also took a century-old wine jar, which is really extravagant~

But for Lin Xiaohai's identity, a hundred-year-old wine jar doesn't seem so rare. You must know that the top ten families are all big families that have been passed down for thousands of years. Why is it hard to find a few hundred-year-old wine jars? Lin Xiaohai went directly to the wine cellar Bring out a jar of centuries-old Shaoxing wine.

The wine was poured out and bottled, and left for the men of the Bai family and the Feng family to drink, and Lin Xiaohai confiscated the jar.

The uncle chef has been guarding the kitchen. The materials for Buddha jump over the wall are difficult to find. Generally, except for those specialized big hotels or restaurants, few people make them in their own kitchens.At least he hasn't seen it done in the Bai family for so many years. One can imagine how difficult it is to do this Buddha jumping over the wall.Cooking is one thing, but there is also the problem of materials.

In fact, the Bai family is willing to spend manpower and material resources to make this Buddha jumping over the wall. They can eat it every day, but it is not necessary for the Bai family, so the uncle chef will learn some experience from Lin Xiaohai today.It is impossible for him to use a century-old wine jar, at most a dozen or 20-year-old wine jar, maybe one day when his culinary skills are truly mastered, he may be able to apply to the master to use a century-old wine jar to make Buddha jumping over the wall.

Lin Xiaohai would come in from time to time to have a look and see how the fire is cooking. It will take six to seven hours for the Buddha jumping over the wall, and it will be time for dinner after it is done.Hearing that Lin Xiaohai was going to jump over the wall today, Mr. Bai and the others rushed back from the outside early, and stayed in the hall with Mr. Feng and the others, waiting for the dinner to start.

At dinner, Lin Xiaohai didn't forget the two young guests, and also cooked vegetarian dishes for them that were as fragrant as Buddha's Jumping Wall.For these nutritious and fragrant vegetarian dishes, Lin Xiaohai almost vomited blood and died. Is it easy for him?

Fortunately, Lin Xiaohai's craftsmanship is really good. Although Jingming and Jinghui can't eat Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, their vegetarian dishes are also delicious, and they can't even eat the Four Treasures and Five Treasures, because Lin Xiaohai said that they are specially made For the two young monks, if you want to eat vegetarian food, you can't eat Buddha Jumping Wall, let them choose by themselves.

My father and I have said so, as a vegetarian dish that is okay to eat once in a while, but unbearable if you eat it every day, the four treasures and five treasures said that they want to eat Buddha jumping over the wall.

So, seeing Buddha jumping over the wall, and then looking at the vegetarian food in front of Jingming and Jinghui, a group of adults almost burst out of laughter.

As twin brothers, Bai Yu and the others said that these two are not their younger brother and sister. Is it embarrassing? Is there anyone?Although they were a bit greedy for those vegetarian dishes, they kept their faces steady, not as embarrassing as twins.

Lin Xiaohai shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't do it on purpose. At the beginning, he made such a fragrance because he thought that although Jingming Jinghui was a monk, he was still a monk with an official certificate, but they were only a few years old, and they didn't have enough control over their appetites. When he got home, the smell of Buddha Tiaoqiang was so good. He was afraid that it would be bad if the two young monks cried, so he tried to make the vegetarian food not lose the taste of Buddha Tiaoqiang. How could he think that it would make the twins swallow~

I don't know whether to praise myself for success or failure!Lin Xiaohai thought a little proudly.

At night, Mianmian arranged the four children in the children's room, let the twins sleep on one bed, and brother Jingming and Jinghui slept on the other bed. The four little ones were very excited and kept fighting pillow fights on the bed, letting the robot servants Say nothing and sleep.In the end, it was Lin Xiaohai and Bai Qiuyu who put the four children on the bed and covered them with quilts.

"Daddy, tell us a story." The usually well-behaved Sibao took Lin Xiaohai's hand and insisted on telling him a story.

"Okay, what story do you want to hear?"

Lin Xiaohai and Bai Qiuyu looked at each other, and immediately agreed.

"The story between you and your father. They say that you and your father are the most loving couple. Although I don't understand what this means, I want to hear your story."

Sibao is just a fart, and he is not precocious, he just wants to hear the stories of his father and his father.Maybe it wasn't stories for him that he wanted to hear, but about Papa and Daddy.

"Okay! Then I'll tell you the story about me and your dad, but you have to say it well. When dad is telling the story, you can't disturb me, and you can't make a sound. You have to close your eyes obediently. ?"

Lin Xiaohai asked while holding his son's young hand.

"it is good."

"can."

"no problem."

"Ah."

The four children answered one after another, Lin Xiaohai watched them before closing his eyes, and then spoke softly.With unhurried speech speed, it tells an ordinary love story.

"long long ago……"

"how long ago?"

Sibao couldn't help interrupting.

"Don't interrupt."

"Oh~~~"

Sibao closed his eyes again.

"A long time ago, how long ago? So long ago that Dad was not as old as your elder brother now."

"Oh~~ so small~~"

This time it was Wu Bao who interrupted, the eldest brother is only in his early twenties, younger than the eldest brother, which means that at that time, my father was about the same age as the second brother now!It's really small, Wubao is a little tangled.

"If you interrupt me again, I won't talk about it."

Lin Xiaohai scanned the five treasures with ultraviolet rays.

"I shut up."

Wu Bao covered her mouth and hurriedly closed her eyes. If her eyeballs weren't spinning around, she would have thought she had fallen asleep.
