Before Squirrel could gloat over it, Lone Wolf placed five leaves in his mouth. Then, he swept a provocative look at Squirrel.
Squirrel was just about to say something when Fangzheng placed a handful of leaves into the basket. Then, he turned and left, leaving the two adorable fellows with a shiny shiny back of his head.
After a while, Fangzheng packed the basket of Frost Bamboo leaves and returned to One Finger Monastery. Along the way, visitors constantly asked Fangzheng if he would be holding a Dharma Assembly tomorrow. They were a little disappointed when they received a negative answer, but there were also some who heaved a sigh of relief. Clearly, Dharma Assemblies were not something everyone liked.
After returning to the monastery, Fangzheng silently asked the System, "System, how much incense money do we have now?"
"8,976 yuan," said the System.
Fangzheng exclaimed, "That much?"
"The Frost Bamboo's effect has brought in a large number of tourists and visitors. When they enter the monastery, there will be quite a bit of money. However, the money is all in your Merit Box. Shouldn't you take it out? "asked the System.
Fangzheng immediately put down the basket and ran into the temple hall. He opened the Merit Box and indeed, there were huge stacks of cash inside. There was a hundred yuan, fifty yuan, and a bunch of ten and five yuan bills.
Fangzheng took them all out and carried them back to his room. He threw them onto the bed and relaxed his mood as he laughed! Although he had more money in the past, and this money was only for show, Fangzheng was still happy! After all, the money was in his hands!
"Is it nice?" asked the System.
Fangzheng nodded. "Yes."
"Then, take a look a little longer."
Fangzheng was taken aback as he returned with a question, "What do you mean?"
"Since you are giving me the money, I have no objections if you take a look a little longer. For you to think of asking me how much incense money I have earned, it should be because you want to buy something, right? "asked the System with a cunning tone.
Fangzheng was instantly rendered speechless. This darn System. He wanted to beat it to death! However, Fangzheng still said bitterly, "Alright, at least you are smart. You are right. Give me some Crystal Rice first. I'll buy more if it's not enough. "
As he planted the Crystal Rice seeds, Fangzheng's heart bled. It was all money! Squirrel jumped onto Fangzheng's shoulder and watched as the seeds were buried. He asked out of curiosity, "Master, why did you get so much Crystal Rice? Don't we still have a lot? "
Fangzheng whispered, "In the past, it was the villagers who gave me dumplings. This year, I've decided to give them dumplings. Although there's a lot of Crystal Rice, I don't know if it's enough. "
"If that's the case, can I still eat it?" Squirrel was a little conflicted. This little guy's little blindness was acting up again.
Fangzheng tugged at his tail and whispered, "Little guy, I told you to relax. You always have your own plans. Don't worry, I have you. "
Squirrel beamed as he jumped to the ground and shouted, "I'm going to protect them today!"
Fangzheng smiled and let him be.
The sun set and the moon rose. The moon set and the sun rose. With the crowing of a rooster at the foot of the mountain, a new day began.
"Fourth Junior Brother, that rooster crows every morning. What is he crowing about?" Squirrel sprawled on the tree and asked Red Boy.
Red Boy shook his head and said, "Are you sure you want to know?"
"Of course. I've been thinking about it for a long time," Squirrel said adorably.
Red Boy's eyes darted around as he chuckled, "Let me tell you a joke. If you can figure it out, you will understand what he's crowing about."
Squirrel immediately turned excited, "That's good. That's good. Junior Brother, quickly tell me!"
Red Boy chuckled and rubbed his tiny hands, "Once upon a time, there was a rooster with an extremely strong desire. None of the hens in the same chicken coop were spared. They suffered day and night, and seeing how the hens were listless every day, they didn't even lay eggs. Therefore, the owner locked the rooster in the duck coop. None of the ducks were spared. They were listless every day and refused to leave the coop. Helpless, the owner threw the rooster into the wilderness. A few days later, the owner saw the rooster lying motionless on the ground. Most of its feathers had fallen off. He could not help but go over and ask, "What are you doing?" The rooster said, "Scram. That eagle is about to be hooked by me! After a few times, it has learned its lesson … "
With that said, Red Boy chuckled and asked Squirrel, "Do you understand?"
Squirrel shook his head, "Junior Brother, what are you talking about?"
Red Boy rolled his eyes, "You silly fool."
"It's best you tell me what he's crowing about." Squirrel really didn't understand.
Red Boy sighed, "Begin the reorganization!"
Squirrel scratched his head, "Does that mean we're about to begin work?"
Red Boy could not stand it any longer, so he got up to clean the temple hall.
And when Fangzheng heard all of this, he silently made a decision to keep Red Boy away from cell phones and the Internet! The darn kid didn't seem to have learned much. He was becoming more and more lewd …
Fangzheng did not cook early in the morning. Instead, he took out the Frost Bamboo leaves that had been soaked the entire night and wrapped the matured Crystal Rice. Then, he stuffed some bamboo shoots into it and folded it into a triangle. Then, he used the Frost Bamboo leaves to tear it into strips to tie it up tightly. A bamboo shoot-flavored dumpling was wrapped and placed into a huge pot.
Fangzheng did not have a steamer, so he could only split the bamboo and place it in the metal pot as a support. It was still usable.
He lit a fire, and the fragrance of the Frost Bamboo and the sweetness of the Crystal Rice emanated. Instantly, the entire monastery was filled with the fragrance of the Frost Bamboo and Crystal Rice dumplings. Thankfully, no one came up the mountain early in the morning.
At half past seven, Fangzheng had finished steaming two buckets of dumplings. He threw one to Monkey, Lone Wolf, Red Boy, and Squirrel.
Fangzheng sat in the yard and took out a cold dumpling from a bucket of Unrooted Clean Aqua. The dumpling was different from what he had eaten in the past. In the past, it was reed leaves, but now it was Frost Bamboo leaves. After the Frost Bamboo leaves were steamed at high temperatures, not only did they not change color, they even turned emerald green. They appeared crystalline and looked like jade! Under the sunlight, they looked extremely beautiful.
"How are these dumplings? They're clearly works of art!" Fangzheng could not help but sigh. However, his stomach was the biggest in the world. When he was hungry, he would eat any works of art!
He untied the Frost Bamboo leaves, revealing the crystalline Crystal Rice meat inside. As he took in the alluring fragrance that emanated from the meat, Fangzheng gently took a bite. He felt that the dumpling was meaty and smooth. It had an excellent texture!
