Therefore Fangzheng said righteously, "Patron, it's more meaningful for the Laba Congee to be cooked by a monk. It's not appropriate to let others complete it."
Yang Hua said, "There's such a saying?"
Fangzheng nodded and Yang Hua gave up. Yang Hua said, "Alright. Since you want to hold a Dharma Assembly of Bathing the Buddha, I'll help you publicize it and get more people to come. Hmm … at least my whole family will be there! "
Fangzheng quickly thanked him and sent Yang Hua off.
"Well, judging from his tone, I'm afraid not many people will come that day." Fangzheng shook his head slightly and went to the kitchen. Cooking the Laba Congee was not a simple task. It was very troublesome to start the stove and move the pot.
Fangzheng was busy …
However, the crowd at the foot of the mountain exploded with Yang Hua's return.
"What? Fangzheng was holding a Dharma Assembly of Bathing the Buddha? Tsk tsk, this kid is capable! No, I have to go and support him! "
"Old Li, aren't you going to Hongyan Temple?"
"Go to Hongyan Temple my ass! If they didn't support their own children, who else would they support? Didn't Hongyan Temple's Grandmaster Hongyan say that sincerity brings results? It doesn't matter where you are. "
As soon as these people spread the news, everyone in the village knew about it. However, everyone was just discussing it and hadn't decided where to go.
At this moment, the village's loudspeaker sounded!
"Notify! Notify! On Laba, One Finger Temple will hold a Dharma Assembly of Bathing the Buddha. The village has decided to support One Finger Temple and the development of our local monastery. Therefore, I hope that everyone can go to One Finger Temple to participate in the Dharma Assembly of Bathing the Buddha. Of course, everything was voluntary! If you want to go, our village will organize a group to go together. Come to my house to sign up. Also, bring your own bowl. There's no need for me to remind you how poor that punk Fangzheng is, right? "Wang Yougui's voice sounded.
When everyone heard this, they were instantly elated.
At that moment, a voice shouted, "Everyone watched Fangzheng grow up. This is One Finger Temple's first Dharma Assembly of Bathing the Buddha. Everyone, let's go and join in the fun."
This was the voice of the old village secretary, Tan Juguo.
When the villagers, who were only discussing, heard the village chief and secretary say that Fangzheng wasn't bad, they decided to go together!
Wang Yougui was just making a ruckus. He never expected the villagers to be so supportive. After a day, he counted the numbers and immediately slapped his thigh in regret. He shouted, "Oh no! Shit! "
"What's wrong? What's wrong? "Yang Ping asked in confusion.
Wang Yougui smiled bitterly and said, "I was only thinking about helping Fang Ping gain popularity. Great, now there are 336 people!"
Yang Ping was a little confused when he heard that. He said, "I don't think there are that many people in the village now, right?"
"It's almost the New Year. All of them have their children back home. They have a lot of wives and children, so it's not strange for them to have this number. The villagers were supportive, while the others were just there to join in the fun. Sigh. With so many people, do you think Fangzheng can prepare so much Laba Congee? "Wang Yougui asked worriedly.
Yang Ping rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "If you can't afford it, then add more water … Hehe, anyway, his water is delicious."
Wang Yougui was taken aback. Then, he smiled. "That's true … I'll give him a call later and ask him to prepare in advance. I don't want everyone to go there and not even have water to drink. That would be really bad."
With that said, Wang Yougui gave Fangzheng a call and informed him of the number of people. In passing, he asked if there were enough ingredients for the Laba Congee.
Fangzheng originally believed that it would be pretty good if there were ten to twenty people, but when he heard that there were more than three hundred people! Fangzheng immediately felt his eyes roll back as he had the urge to faint! So many portions of Laba Congee?
Fangzheng regretted letting Yang Hua leave. Was it possible for one person to do so much alone?
But on second thought, the reason why the villagers did not go to the big monastery and came to his tiny monastery was because of their feelings for each other! Since they had feelings for him, he could not be heartless, right? The Laba Congee not only had to be made by him alone, but he had to use the best ingredients and do it to the best of his abilities!
With this in mind, Fangzheng said to Wang Yougui, "Patron Wang, This Penniless Monk doesn't have any other requests. Can you get two more pots? Also, prepare your own bowls! "
Wang Yougui was instantly amused. He repeatedly assured him that he could leave everything to him.
The next day, Wang Yougui brought people to deliver five huge metal pots. At the same time, he helped Fangzheng set up five suggested stoves. Yang Hua also brought people to deliver a lot of firewood. Together with the ones Fangzheng and Lone Wolf picked up, it was almost enough.
After sending everyone off, Fangzheng looked at the row of huge metal pots by the door. He looked up into the sky and lamented, "Is this considered courting death?"
Creak …
At that moment, the lid of one of the pots moved.
Fangzheng frowned and thought, "What ran into the pot?"
He first opened it and was immediately amused. He saw that Squirrel had burrowed in at some point in time. He had even hidden quite a number of pine nuts!
"Little guy, why did you hide a few pine nuts from others? Why are you so petty? Alright, I'm not confiscating the pine nuts. Use them as food expenses. " Fangzheng laughed out loud and thickened his skin. Under the little guy's angry baring of his claws and puffing up his cheeks, he took away Squirrel's personal goods.
In terms of taste, pine nuts were obviously not as delicious as Crystal Rice. However, eating Crystal Rice every day made such a snack from the mountains appear precious. Furthermore, Squirrel was very sly. He did not think much of ordinary pine nuts. The ones he brought back were definitely the best ones that were plump and oily! This also made it one of Fangzheng's favorite snacks. It made it so that the pine nuts had to be on guard against thieves. When he brought back pine nuts, he would hide them everywhere.
As for Fangzheng, he had another reason to clean the monastery — to find snacks!
Squirrel chased after Fangzheng when he took away his personal goods. He pulled at Fangzheng's ear but Fangzheng did not feel any pain at all.
"System, the pot is ready. Where's the ingredient? Where's the secret recipe? "Fangzheng stood in the kitchen and rubbed his slightly hungry stomach. He was a little selfish. The System's products were definitely exquisite. There was no reason for him not to try such exquisite congee!
"It's temporarily not provided. However, I can provide you with a small bowl of Laba Congee. You can try it first."
With that said, a tiny bowl appeared in front of Fangzheng! It was truly a tiny bowl. It was the size of a palm, which meant that it was the size of a tiny bowl!
When Fangzheng saw this, he mumbled, "System, you sure are stingy!"
Just as he said that, the Laba Congee's golden glow vanished. The next moment, Fangzheng's eyes widened!
In the tiny bowl, there were white rice, yellow millet, crystalline lotus seeds, red dates … All the ingredients were mixed together, but they were clearly separated. The red was fiery red, the white was translucent, and the yellow was resplendent. When all the ingredients were gathered together, it was no longer a bowl of congee but a painting! The ingredients inside were not ingredients either. They were clearly pearls, jade, and gold. They were so beautiful that Fangzheng could not bear to eat them!
