The young monks who maintained order gathered together in pairs and whispered.
"Do you smell anything?"
"Yes, I smell the aroma of braised pork."
"The new braised pork roll stall on the street smells so good. I can smell the smell every time I send pilgrims out."
"I guess the pilgrims smelled it after eating the braised pork rolls. They were really greedy. Smelling the smell, I finished two bowls of rice at noon. I was so hungry."
"The braised pork rolls should be vegetarian. Should we ask tomorrow?"
"Amitabha, you are right. Why didn't I think of it? You can't eat meat. We are vegetarians. I'll ask you tomorrow."
"Amitabha, it's okay."
...
Then at 11 noon the next day, it was time for the monks to take a lunch break.
The two young monks looked at each other and slipped directly outside the temple to line up.
Lin Zhou was already out at the stall steaming noodles.
The old diners who came earlier occupied their seats. Seeing the increasing number of diners, Lin Zhou felt particularly stressed.
He was really afraid of the customers who didn't buy anything, making him cry and running after him.
He, who was not afraid at first, became terrified when faced with that scene.
In order to avoid the situation where most people queue up but can't get anything to eat, he can only limit his purchases.
"Boss Lin, I want one of each of the three flavors, with braised eggs."
Lin Zhou looked at him silently and said cruelly: "Limited to two, there are too many people."
After speaking, Lin Zhou also motioned to the guests to look at the people lined up behind him.
This stall has just come out!
In less than ten minutes, the queue could no longer be seen from the front to the end.
"No, don't we all go to work at noon?"
The regular diners who finally managed to grab the first seat felt very uncomfortable. Yesterday, the purchase limit was three, but today it was only two. There were so many people grabbing food!
And at noon on a weekday, there are still so many people queuing up, which is really scary.
Regular diners were in a dilemma looking at the taste of the braised pork rolls, not knowing how to make a choice, and finally ordered two family photos.
"I have to work. Didn't you see that I came in my work clothes? But it's lunch time and it's okay to leave work early."
"Yes, I have to go back immediately after buying it."
"Hey, I found someone to cover the shift for a while."
As the saying goes, if there are policies from above, there will be countermeasures from below.
Lin Zhou opened his stall at 11 o'clock, and the diners found excuses to come and line up at 10 o'clock, mainly to fight as a special forces soldier.
"Hey no, you guys come and see two monks!"
As soon as these words came out, the diners in front turned around to watch.
Then I saw two eye-catching bald heads in the team.
"I'll go, monks also eat meat now?"
"You shouldn't be able to eat it, but I read on the Internet that monks also eat meat secretly."
"It seems that some of the monks now come to work. Just like us, they submitted their resumes for interviews and then got jobs."
"Then it's not okay to eat meat so openly, right?"
"I don't know."
The crowd suddenly became lively because of the sudden appearance of the two monks. Even people who didn't know each other could chat together and share some gossip they had heard.
"Actually, monks can eat meat. The Buddhist scripture "Guangben of Precepts" states very clearly: Buddhism has no regulations on vegetarianism. What Buddhism prohibits is "meat"."
A young man dressed in fashionable clothes heard everyone talking and spoke.
People who don’t believe in Buddhism don’t care much about these things. They don’t know anything about them unless they go out of their way to understand them.
Hearing this means he has learned a lot.
"Brother, do you believe in Buddhism? You seem to understand it very well?"
"Yes, but I don't know much about it."
The stylishly dressed man is named Ma Ming. Today is the day he made an appointment with the temple abbot to shave his head and become a monk.
Although he believes in Buddhism and wants to become a monk and seek peace, he has always had a hard time letting go of taboos.
When I thought about not being able to eat meat from now on, I thought about having a meal before becoming a monk.
Then I was attracted by the aroma of braised pork rolls, so I came over and queued up.
...
Soon, the queue reached Ma Ming. His position was a little further forward than the two young monks in the temple.
Seeing how the people in front ordered, he also ordered two Family Portrait Braised Pork Rolls.
The portion of Family Portrait Braised Pork Roll is very large, with three layers of meat and vegetarian dishes chosen by diners. The roll is so full that it feels heavy in the hand.
Ma Ming watched Lin Zhou's action of cutting the meat and was so greedy that he took the meat roll and stood aside to start chewing.
Fragrant, really fragrant!
The fragrant braised pork rolls, you can feel the satisfying taste with one bite.
There is enough meat and a rich texture, coupled with the diversity of ingredients, the satisfaction of eating all the ingredients in one bite is something that other foods cannot bring. The more you chew, the more delicious it becomes.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but this is his last meal of meat, and he won’t be able to eat it anymore, so it suddenly tastes more delicious.
When he came to his senses, two young monks also lined up in front of Lin Zhou's stall. The young monk laughed happily when he saw the variety of vegetarian dishes on the stall.
"Amitabha, master, how much do we want for two plain rolls?"
Lin Zhou was a little confused looking at the two hours later that appeared in front of him.
But after hearing their vegetarian rolls, I realized that braised pork rolls don’t necessarily have to have braised pork. There are also people who want to be vegetarian.
Monks cannot eat meat, but there is no problem with being vegetarian.
It was him who misunderstood.
"Vegetarian rolls cost ten yuan each. You can add whatever vegetarian dishes you like here."
Lin Zhou didn't even decide on the price of the plain rolls, so he quickly quoted a number.
The two young monks paid the money happily and eagerly waited for Lin Zhou to make it.
"Master, I don't want scallions or onions, and you can add the rest of the vegetables."
The monks' meat dishes also include pungent vegetables such as onions, ginger, and garlic.
So these are also inedible.
Lin Zhou nodded and started making.
There are various vegetables wrapped in the round pancake, which looks very rich.
The diners who had been paying attention to the two monks reacted when they heard that they ordered vegetarian rolls. The braised pork rolls did not say that they did not have vegetarian rolls, but they ignored this option and thought that eating braised pork rolls without braised pork would still be braised pork rolls. Well, I subconsciously ignored this option.
"Oh, I asked how can a monk eat meat? I wanted a vegetarian roll."
"I forgot I could even eat vegetarian rolls."
"Boss Lin's craftsmanship makes the vegetarian dishes delicious, too. The little monk is in for a treat."
"It turns out that monks are also as greedy as us and queue up to buy food."
"Hahaha, it's not like a monk doesn't eat. If you don't have faith, it's just a job."
"It's different after all."
"You can't just become a monk if you want to. A monk must have a master's degree or above, I don't know."
Because the location where Lin Zhou set up his stall this week was very close to the temple.
In addition, they saw the monk queuing up to buy the braised pork rolls. When the diners were bored in line, they subconsciously talked about the monk.
Compared with the importance that the older generation places on Buddhism, contemporary young people also have different beliefs in the God of Wealth.
