Seeing the tightly wrapped portions of dog meat, the old abbot smiled and said, "I'm really sorry for putting you in such a difficult position! I'll let it go this time, but I've told you countless times that eating meat is also against the precepts! We monks are bound by the four elements: one, we must not drink alcohol, and the other, we must not harm others. Three, we must not kill..."
The old abbot shook his head and began to talk about the precepts. At this time, the second and third disciples immediately laughed and said, "Master, don't you always say that wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart? We should cultivate our hearts, not our mouths. Otherwise, being a monk would be too cowardly!"
The old abbot was stunned when he heard this, then he touched his head and finally said, "That being said, we still need to be sensible about this matter. We can just do these things behind the scenes and not publicize them!"
"Master is absolutely right! Only a few of us know about this matter, no one else knows!" The eldest brother HP said immediately.
"Well, that's right, HP. You shave this kid's head for me. I'm going to the backyard to do my homework first. The rest of the things will be left to you guys." After the old abbot said this, he turned around and left happily.
After the old abbot walked away, HP and the other two finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was something they had discussed long ago, otherwise their master would not believe it!
However, there are certain benefits to doing this, which is that it allows Huien and Huikong to enjoy the wine and meat.
Hui Pu shaved Long Junhai's head very neatly, and then said, "Wu Fan, from now on, you are the third-generation disciple of our Tianlei Si. The three of us are your masters. You must respect your master and abide by the other precepts in the future. Never break the precepts, otherwise you will be severely punished! Okay, you can go down. The kitchen affairs will be handed over to you from now on. There are a total of thirty-two monks in our Tianlei Si, including you, which is thirty-three. You only need to prepare thirty-three bowls of rice for each meal. Any more will be wasted, and any less will not be enough to eat. You must control the amount! Here are ten taels of silver, which is our food allowance for the next six months. Don't lose it, otherwise you will have to go to the back mountain to dig wild vegetables for us to eat! Then it will not only be you who will suffer, but also our stomachs!"
Huien gave Long Junhai ten taels of silver at this time and then sent him away.
Long Junhai smiled bitterly in his heart, ten taels of silver were enough to cover the food expenses for thirty-three people for half a year, which was really a bit difficult. In this case, they could only eat rice and vegetables on weekdays!
After Long Junhai left, Hui Pu said, "Second Brother, isn't this a bit too harsh? Ten taels of silver for half a year's food, and normally it's ten taels of silver a month! If the food isn't good enough, those disciples will probably leave Jelly and go elsewhere."
"It's not our fault. Eating is also a kind of practice. Can the other party blame us if they don't want to show off? But in this way, we can save fifty taels of silver in half a year! These fifty taels of silver are enough for us to go down the mountain and eat many times of wine and meat." Hui En said with a smile.
At the mention of wine and meat, the three of them instantly became excited. Seeing that there was no one around, they immediately took out the wine and meat they had bought and shared them...
At this moment, Long Junhai was speechless. Under such circumstances, he could do nothing but cook in the kitchen. But could he learn anything good this way? He felt that if he did this, he would probably not have many opportunities to learn. After all, preparing three meals a day was a real hassle.
However, Long Junhai is a man of careful plans. After his detailed calculations, he just needs to compress his cooking time as quickly as possible. This way, he can save three or four hours. These three or four hours are enough for him to cook a lot of things!
Long Junhai took a deep breath, looked at the messy kitchen, and put away all the things in the kitchen first. Usually, everyone took turns to cook here, so everyone was just coping. Over time, there were fewer and fewer meals to eat, so everyone was skinny.
Besides, the incense of Tianlei Temple is not very popular. It can only collect dozens of taels of silver on the first and fifteenth day of the month throughout the year. So apart from the daily expenses, there is nothing left. Therefore, the monks' robes are patched again and again. Only the abbot and three disciples are dressed decently. The rest of the people are patched up. There is also a courtyard that has been in disrepair for many years and is about to collapse. If you want to repair anything, you can't do it without hundreds of taels of silver!
Other people's temples are always prosperous and have endless money to spend all year round, but Tianlei Temple is completely different. What will happen to the house if you are not careful? Even the main hall may collapse at any time. This situation is really speechless!
Long Junhai cleaned up everything. The kitchen was dirty and messy before, but after his decoration and changes, the market has completely changed.
But it was almost noon, so Long Junhai had to prepare lunch as soon as possible, otherwise everyone would have nothing to eat.
Long Junhai first beat the rice and steamed it, then immediately washed all the eggplants, sprinkled some flour on them, and finally fried them directly.
Because this is the first dish here, Long Junhai must make it perfect, otherwise there will be big trouble. Not to mention that the monks will think it is not good enough, even Long Junhai himself will feel that his cooking is very bad, which will reduce a lot of his passion!
Therefore, many things must be tried personally before a conclusion can be drawn, otherwise it is really difficult to accomplish. Fortunately, Long Junhai is a master cook, otherwise it would be really difficult to explain how old he is and how many things he has experienced in his life.
As a human being, you should be content with what you have. Long Junhai is now experiencing life and giving himself more insights into life. This is also the main reason why he came to this world of evil spirits.
This is how life is. You should look more, let go of the unhappiness in your heart, and give yourself a colorful life.
Long Junhai touched his bald head and said to himself, "I never thought that I would become a monk one day. This is such a irony!"
In fact, Long Junhai's meeting with Amazon is also very positive, because his experiences over the years have always been that of a murderous executioner. No matter for others or for himself, he will take action directly if there is a disagreement. However, he does not kill easily because his situation is different from others. Others seek momentary pleasure, but he wants the purity and inaction of his heart.
The meals for the thirty-three people were quickly prepared. Although Long Junhai was young, he had strong control abilities. In addition, he had a powerful soul that had been cultivated for countless years, so he could do anything with ease.
