Chapter 311 Soft tofu? Meet an old friend
The next morning, Li Luotang went up the mountain along the nine-turn mountain road. There were hundreds of steep cliffs, thousands of feet high, and bird paths were hard to find. There were few ordinary people climbing.
Relying on her excellent light skills, Li Luotang still rises and falls like flying even in a place with rugged rocks and uneven heights.
The mountain breeze blows by, bringing the low and distant bells in the temple, and the chanting of scriptures that seem to exist or not, as ethereal as white clouds in the sky.
Li Luotang remembered what Xiaoshu said and decided to go to the temple to have a vegetarian meal.
The ancient temple was hidden among the green trees. When Li Luotang entered the temple, he directly told Zhike Monk, "I'm here to have a vegetarian meal."
The monk Zhike was stunned for a moment, "Donor, don't you toast incense?"
"Is it okay to donate sesame oil?" Li Luotang asked.
"Yes, I don't know how much sesame oil it is donated?" asked the Zhike Monk.
"One hundred taels." Li Luotang took out a silver note from his purse.
This was when she was "running away from home", and her brother stuffed her ten silver notes.
She has always disliked holding too many silver notes on her body. Silver notes are not waterproof or fireproof. She prefers golden leaves and silver beans.
I donated 100 taels of spice and oil to exchange for a vegetarian meal. This vegetarian meal is so expensive!
The monk from Zhike led Li Luotang to the dining hall, and met many monks and pilgrims who were heading to the dining hall along the way.
There is a long table in the dining hall, which is specially designed for pilgrims.
Li Luotang sat down at the table, and in front of her were two thick porcelain bowls, a thick porcelain plate, a pair of bamboo chopsticks and a small wooden spoon.
The monks were chanting scriptures. When they finished chanting, the monks on duty began to distribute meals.
When he walked to Li Luotang, the monk holding the rice spoon asked, "How much rice does the donor need?"
"Half a bowl." Li Luotang said.
"There are three dishes here. Do the donor want them all, or just one of them?"
"Shredded potatoes and tofu, don't have eggplant." Li Luotang's resentment towards eggplant has not disappeared.
The monk scooped a portion of the two dishes for her, bowed, walked away, went to the table next to him, and served food for the other monks.
The vegetarian dish looks quite ordinary, but if you look closely, you will find that the potato shreds are cut evenly in size, with clear roots, no sticking at all, and a pale yellow color.
Li Luotang picked up a few pieces and put them in his mouth. He savored them carefully and tasted them lightly, but it just induced the original taste of potatoes, which was soft and crispy.
She ate the rice and it was not glutinous or glutinous, and it was rough like oatmeal, but it was very chewy.
The rice and shredded potatoes were very delicious.
Li Luotang was full of expectations for the taste of tofu.
She couldn't wait to pick up a piece, but the tofu was too smooth and didn't pick it up, so it slid from the chopsticks back into the bowl.
Seeing this, the middle-aged woman next to her whispered: "This tofu was made by Master Juechi in the temple. It is much tender and smoother than usual tofu. I heard that there is a secret."
After hearing the woman's words, Li Luotang no longer used chopsticks to pick it up, but instead took a wooden spoon and tofu into his mouth.
As the woman said, the tofu is so tender that it melts at the mouth.
What is most surprising is that the tofu has a hint of spicy taste and a slight sour taste.
Salty, spicy, sour, and the mix is just right, this tofu is endless aftertaste.
Using these two simple vegetarian dishes, Li Luotang finished half a bowl of rice.
After leaving the vegetarian hall, Li Luotang walked directly outside the temple.
At the mountain gate, I met Ren Juege and his group who were going up the mountain.
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land, both of them greeted each other with a smile, "Brother Little Ren."
"Tangtang."
"Why are you here?"
"Didn't Shishi be with you?"
"I came to fulfill my wish for my father, and my junior sister didn't come with me."
"It will take several days to fulfill your wish?"
"What's wrong with the ritual that will take for 14 days?"
"I originally wanted to go to Lin'an with you." Li Luotang smiled.
She lives in an inn that is closely related to Zhongyong Villa, and she is quite uneasy.
After two or three days, she could hold on. She stayed for fourteen days, so I respected Xie Bumin.
"If the junior sister knew you were going to Lin'an, she would be very happy." Ren Yuge smiled.
After a few gossips, Ren Yuge and his entourage entered the temple, and Li Luotang wandered around the mountain.
I harvested Dendrobium and Ganoderma lucidum yesterday, and she wanted to see if she had such good luck today.
Before I found the medicinal materials such as Dendrobium, Ganoderma lucidum, I heard the cry for help, "Help! Help!"
Li Luotang flew forward in the sound and saw a person hanging on a tree slanted from the cliff.
He was carrying a bamboo basket on his back, and depending on the situation, he should be the herb collector.
Li Luotang flew up and kicked up on the cliff. He raised his body several feet higher, landed lightly on the tree, lifting up the herb collector.
Jumping down from the tree, the herb collector screamed strangely.
"Shut up." Li Luotang shouted.
The herb collector bit his lips.
Li Luotang let go of his hand, and the herb collector sat on the ground with weak legs.
Li Luotang ignored him, used his light skills and left with ease.
The herb collector murmured to himself: "Immortal...Immortal."
Li Luotang considered that these herb collectors were difficult for hunters, and they did not pick herbs or hunt wild animals. They were about the same time, so they went down the mountain directly.
In the evening, Li Luotang still asked his friend to bring the food into the room.
The next day, Li Luotang left Yandang Mountain and headed for Wenzhou.
It was still a sunny and good weather today, and the horse was moving on the official road either fast or slowly.
The official road was bending along the mountain, and Li Luotang stepped slowly.
A horse neigh suddenly came from the front. Li Luotang looked up and saw three horses parked by the road not far ahead.
Li Luotang looked at the mountain wall on the left and the woods on the right. It was obvious that the owner of these three horses had entered the woods.
After thinking for a while, Li Luotang turned over and got off the horse, tied the horse to the tree, and went into the forest.
After walking about a distance, he heard a rough voice saying, "...but what you did is too much to deceive others. Even if he comes forward today, this matter will not be good."
Li Luotang jumped to the tree and saw three people not far ahead.
Two of them were facing her backs, wearing black outfits.
The boy facing her was wearing white clothes and a fierce look on his face, "Stop talking nonsense."
"You are unkind, but our brothers cannot be unrighteous." The man in black threw a sign to the boy in white.
The boy in white moved a step to the side and the sign fell to the ground.
The man in black said in a deep voice: "This token was given by him. Seeing the chariot is like seeing the person. But today's affairs have stopped, and the friendship has ended here."
"It's the best. I don't care about such a trait. It's up to me to seize treasures."
"Ah, if it weren't for you..."
"Fourth brother, we were blinded by friendship and were plotted by him. It was because my brother was unaware of people, so there was no need to say much. Today, we want the treasure, and we want his life, too."
"Yes, blood debts and blood payments."
"Go to do it." The young man in white showed his sword.
