Wang Yougui walked in front, followed by Tan Juguo's family and Yang Ping's family.
This was especially true for Tan Juguo. Although he was old, he could walk as if he was flying.
"Grandpa, why are you walking so fast? I can barely keep up, "a chubby boy shouted.
Tan Juguo laughed and said, "That's because you have no motivation! Look at that brat Wang Yougui and Yang Ping. Both of them are running so fast. If we don't hurry up, I'm afraid we won't even get any scraps. "
"Dad, this … It's just a bowl of Laba Congee. Is there a need for this?" a middle-aged man said with a smile.
The woman beside the man also said, "That's right. Although your body is tough, you can't compare to young people. Tan Yong, don't look at this. Dad wants to eat Laba Congee, so you should hurry up. Can't you just get a portion for Dad? "
Tan Yong was taken aback. He smiled bitterly and said, "Alright, alright, alright. You guys wait here. I'll hurry up."
With that, Tan Yong ran up to Wang Yougui.
Wang Yougui laughed and said, "Tan Yong, did your old man tell you to leave quickly?"
Tan Yong smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Wang, what are you guys doing? It's as if there's wind on their feet. They're running too fast. "
Wang Yougui smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't ask. The monastery is up ahead. Take a look for yourself when you get there."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tan Yong smelled a strong fragrance drifting over from afar. His eyes immediately lit up. "What is this smell? Why does it smell so good? "
"Hey! This kid really has some skills. Nice! "After Wang Yougui finished speaking, he picked up the child and pulled his wife along as he sped up! Tan Yong was not stupid and immediately followed.
From afar, Wang Yougui shouted, "Fang Xiao … Abbot! We're here. What are you cooking? Why does it smell so good? "
Fangzheng smiled. "It's nothing. Laba Congee."
"How fragrant. Quick, give me a bowl." Wang Yougui put down the child and placed three bowls in front of Fangzheng.
When Tan Yong saw it, he exclaimed, "Uncle Wang, did you bring your washbasin here? No, this is a bathtub, right? "
"Get lost! Is your bathtub this small? Do you want me to wash it for you? "Wang Yougui's face turned red as he scolded jokingly.
Tan Yong chuckled.
Fangzheng was rendered completely speechless after taking a glance. Wang Yougui was truly clever. He knew that Fangzheng's Crystal Rice was delicious and the congee was definitely not bad. He had brought three bowls that were the length of a forearm! He smiled bitterly and said, "Benefactor Wang, this … this is a soup bowl, right?"
Wang Yougui smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, who knows if there are any messy rules here, so I'd better bring a bigger guy."
Fangzheng was rendered speechless. He had really never asked the System. Hence he immediately asked, "System, can this Laba Congee fill me up?"
"One bowl per person, no more. Although the Laba Congee was free, it could not be extravagant or given away cheaply. Just like how Buddhist scriptures cannot be given away easily, everything must be done in moderation. "
Fangzheng looked at Wang Yougui again and suddenly realized that as expected of the village chief, he was really smart! Even the system's rules were taken into consideration. Awesome!
Fangzheng asked, "Even such a big bowl works?"
"Opportunities are given to those who are prepared. All life is equal, but it does not mean that the outcome is equal. Those who work hard will naturally obtain more, while those who are lazy will naturally have less. "
Fangzheng was enlightened. Without any hesitation, he scooped a huge bowl for Wang Yougui and said with a smile, "Patron Wang, to be initiated, one needs to bathe the Buddha. The rest is up to you. This temple is small, so there aren't many programs. "
Wang Yougui looked at the three bowls of Laba Congee and was just about to thank Fangzheng when he saw what was inside. He exclaimed, "What … What's inside?"
Tan Yong also saw it and went over to take a look. He exclaimed, "There are carvings on the green beans! Date pits look like Buddha!? Heavens, Fangzheng, did you make all of this? "
Fangzheng pressed his palms together and smiled. He did not say yes or no. It was not easy to answer the question, so he decided to be vague.
Wang Yougui looked at the lifelike Buddha, Vajra, Arhats, lotus flowers, lions, and other exotic beasts in the congee. He marveled, "I've eaten Laba Congee from several temples all my life, but this is the first time I'm seeing such exquisite craftsmanship! Abbot, ignoring everything else, just the taste and the craftsmanship are impressive! "
Wang Yougui's wife marveled as well, "Why didn't I realize that you had such craftsmanship in the past? Sigh, it's a pity to become a monk with such craftsmanship. If you were to open a restaurant, you would have long become rich. "
Wang Yougui glared at his wife and said, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
She smiled in embarrassment and did not speak further.
Fangzheng pressed his palms together and smiled. "It's fine."
When Wang Yougui's wife saw this, she glared at Wang Yougui and said, "Look at him and then look at you. Look at yourself! Let's go and have some congee! This congee smells really good. "
Wang Yougui was pulled away by his wife, but Tan Yong could not help but hurriedly take out a bowl. "Fangzheng, hurry up. Give me a bowl."
Fangzheng smiled and filled the bowl for him. Tan Yong immediately took a bite. He only wanted to have a taste, but the moment the mouthful entered his stomach, he began wolfing it down. He slurped the entire bowl of porridge clean!
Bam! When he put down the huge bowl, Tan Yong felt his body heat up. It was warm and comfortable! There was a lingering fragrance in his mouth, and the taste was excellent!
Tan Yong hurriedly said, "Give me another bowl!"
However, Fangzheng shook his head and said with a smile, "Each person can only have one bowl. Patron, that's the rule."
"There's really such a rule?" Tan Yong was dumbfounded. He originally believed that Wang Yougui was joking, but he never expected that there was really a limit. However, Tan Yong did not give up. He went forward and tugged at Fangzheng. "Fangzheng, look. You grew up in our village from a young age. You have eaten quite a lot of our food. Then … Can I have an extra bowl? "
"Amitabha. Patron, this is a rule. It absolutely cannot be broken. One bowl per person. Not more, only less. "Fangzheng decisively shook his head in rejection.
Tan Yong was instantly displeased. "Fangzheng, that's not nice of you."
"Tan Yong, I told you to get Dad a bowl of congee. Why are you drinking it yourself?" Tan Yong's wife arrived.
Only then did Tan Yong recall that he was not there to get food for himself. Hence, he said, "I won't drink the next bowl. Give it to Dad, alright?"
Fangzheng nodded and filled it up for him. Tan Yong looked at the various dried fruits in the bowl and licked his lips. He really wanted to drink it! However, Tan Juguo was behind him. If he were to drink it, the old man would not be able to drink it. He would be in trouble.
Tan Yong took a deep breath and held his breath. He did not smell or look. That would do, right?
Tan Yong carried the Laba Congee over. His wife, Liu Yuan, took it and blew at it to prevent it from scalding Tan Juguo. When Tan Yong saw this, he stopped holding his breath. Just as he was about to say something, Liu Yuan blew at it.
