What surprised Pei Minsheng was that every time he came out of the Guanyin Temple to recite sutras and before returning home, he would walk into the jungle and face Hua Dafu. He was still holding the bamboo basket, and the mouth of the basket was still covered with a wide velvet towel. Of course, the basket still contained delicious food. Hua Dafu still said that he would support Pei Minsheng, a devout Buddhist.
Pei Minsheng refused to give in, but ended up eating it anyway. Later, it happened again and again. He gradually became very fond of eating the food cooked by Hua Dafu. He even disliked the food cooked by his wife at home. He just liked to eat the delicious food that Hua Dafu brought to him in a bamboo basket. Meals.
He seemed to be addicted to eating. Several times he came out of the temple to recite sutras and walked into the jungle, but he didn't see Hua Dafu, so he was quite anxious. I had to go through all the trouble to find Hua Dafu when I went down the mountain, and he said in a scolding tone, "Dafu, why didn't you send me food today? Don't you know that I love the food you cook the most?" Let me tell you, if you bring meals from now on, I will be willing to calculate the price for you according to the standard of box lunches, and I will not lose you money.
Hua Dafu smiled slyly and said, "I know you won't lose me." How about this! I have provided you with food many times, so forget it. If you like to eat the food I prepare, just come to my house and spend money to buy it. I guarantee your satisfaction.
Pei Minsheng said yes, and sure enough, even if he didn't go to Guanyin Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, he still had to find Hua Dafu to prepare food for him. He only felt that the food he prepared was particularly delicious and could not be replaced by anything else.
Seeing that he rarely came home to eat, his wife thought that he had made a mistake in the food, so she wanted to improve the food, so she prepared a table of delicious food for Pei Minsheng to enjoy. Pei Minsheng still felt that the food tasted tasteless, so he went to Hua Dafu's house to eat the food Hua Dafu prepared for him.
A few days later, Hua Dafu suddenly changed his attitude, and Pei Minsheng refused to pay for the food he prepared. Pei Minsheng was addicted to eating the food he prepared, and he still had to look for him, even beg him.
At this time, Hua Dafu made a condition, saying that the bungalow he lived in was too simple and he wanted to move to a courtyard room like Pei Minsheng's villa. If you agree, I will also agree to be your full-time chef and provide you with meals. Good taste. Pei Minsheng hesitated for a while and said yes.
On that day, two rooms in the courtyard were vacated for Hua Dafu and his family to move in, and a kitchen was specially given to Hua Dafu to prepare meals that suit his appetite.
Pei Minsheng's wife Hua Yanfei is a very smart woman. She discovered that her husband had become a hobby after eating the food cooked by Hua Dafu. She felt something was wrong. She once tried to dissuade him, but her husband didn't listen. She had no choice but to let him go. do.
But now, Hua Dafu and his family are allowed to move into their courtyard without charging a penny for rent, and they only ask Hua Dafu to prepare some food for him in exchange. This is not right. It was as if the husband was a stupid cow being led by Hua Dafu.
Hua Yanfei was indignant. She always felt that Hua Dafu was trying to harm her husband, and the problem was that there was doubt in the food that Hua Dafu prepared for her husband. Hua Yanfei secretly took a weight from each of the meals that Hua Dafu prepared and covered it with a plastic sheet. They were wrapped tightly to avoid Pei Minsheng and Hua Dafu, and were taken to the Food and Drug Administration for testing. The results showed that there were varying degrees of poppy powder in these two rice dumplings.
The department wanted to investigate the cause. Hua Yanfei was afraid of causing trouble and harming her husband, so she stopped her and said, "This is my family's business. You'd better not interfere. I will naturally take care of it. Otherwise, why should I take the initiative?" Come for a checkup? But I thought to myself: No wonder my husband likes to eat the food prepared by Hua Dafu. It turns out that Hua Dafu was unkind and put poppy powder in the food.
After hearing what Hua Yanfei said, the management department gave up. It would be better to talk about one more thing than one less thing. Everyone can think of it.
After Hua Yanfei returned home, it was lunch time. Pei Minsheng had just picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up the rice and stuff it into his mouth. She quickly said, "Minsheng, don't be in a hurry to eat. Come here, I have something to say to you." explain.
Because Hua Dafu was standing next to him at this moment. He did not eat here. He usually watched Pei Minsheng clean up before returning to his room, and he never ate at Pei Minsheng's house. This made Pei Minsheng very touched and felt that he had dedicated his life to More, less to ask for.
However, Hua Yanfei never eats the food cooked by Hua Dafu, and her husband’s leftovers are not kept for dinner. Most of them are eaten by a black dog raised at home. The black dog eats too much and his mouth becomes naughty. The food leftovers were slowly stopped and poured in front of him. He only sniffed them and then walked away. Especially during meals, most of them would come around to Pei Minsheng and stare at his rice bowl, trying to reward him by throwing some food on the ground. it.
Every time Pei Minsheng dropped a lump of rice or a chopstick of fresh vegetables, and saw the black dog eagerly grabbing it in his mouth and greedily enjoying it, he would sigh, "Damn it, even dogs know how to eat."
When Pei Minsheng saw his wife calling him, he put down his chopsticks and walked out of the restaurant. Hua Yanfei pulled him aside and whispered, "Miansheng, do you know why you are addicted to Hua Dafu's food?"
Pei Minsheng was puzzled by the question and said calmly, "I have a strong taste and like to eat the food he prepares. Is it called addiction if I like it?"
Hua Yanfei took out a piece of paper from the waistband of her trousers and whispered to her husband, "Look, this is the test result. Someone put poppy powder in the food you usually eat. Poppy is a kind of drug and is often mixed in the food." If you eat it, you will become addicted before you know it.
Pei Minsheng was a little surprised and lowered his tone. Are you saying that Hua Dafu put poppy powder in the food he cooked and that I became addicted after eating it? Hua Yanfei nodded, and then said to his ear hole with air current, you should fire Hua Dafu as soon as possible, and then quit drugs.
Don't be so alarmist. Even if I'm addicted, why not eat some food prepared by Hua Dafu?
The big question is, do you want me or Huadafu now? If you don't fire him and continue to eat this kind of drug-laced food, I don't want to live with you.
Forget it if you don't want to, you can get divorced.
Unexpectedly, these angry words actually came true. Pei Minsheng could not restrain his hobby, and soon after completing the divorce procedures, he and Hua Yanfei parted ways.
A few days later, a master named Jingxin from Guanyin Temple asked for alms. He passed by Pei Minsheng's courtyard and asked to open the door. He was greeted by Hua Dafu. Master Jingxin knew that this was Pei Minsheng's courtyard and asked him, is Pei Minsheng at home? Hua Dafu said, if you have anything, I can tell you.
Master Jingxin said, "You ask the layman to come out. I will have something to say when I see him." Hua Dafu said, "Okay, the monk is waiting at the door. I'll just call him."
When Hua Dafu entered the room, he knew that Pei Minsheng was sitting on the sofa in the living room, drinking tea and watching a pornographic disc on the TV screen. This was rented by Hua Dafu for him. After the divorce, Pei Minsheng felt emotionally depressed and empty. , Hua Dafu rented him pornographic discs to please him to pass the time, and also promised to find him a young, beautiful and much better woman than Hua Yanfei to continue his relationship.
At this moment, Hua Dafu did not follow Master Jingxin's wishes to call Pei Minsheng. Instead, he took out a bowl of food with poppy powder for Pei Minsheng, walked to Master Jingxin who was waiting, and said to him, Monk, hold out your bowl and I'll give you some food.
Master Jingxin stretched out his alms bowl and said, Donor, I asked you to call out the layman Pei. How can you give me some food?
Hua Dafu said plausibly, "Monk, you came out just to make some vegetarian food, why are you looking for my master?" My master has something to do and can't come out to see you for a while. Besides, you have escaped into Buddhism and don’t care about worldly affairs. My master is a worldly person. Are you looking for him to return to the secular world?
Master Jingxin said, Amitabha! Escape into Buddhism is just to observe the precepts and practice, not to cut off worldly affairs. Bodhisattvas save suffering people. If they don't enter the world and propagate the Dharma, how can they save all sentient beings from the sea of suffering?
Hua Dafu was about to persuade Master Jingxin to go out of the courtyard and close the door. Suddenly, Master Jingxin smelled some of the food he poured into the bowl and said repeatedly, Donor, this food has a strange smell and the poor monk cannot eat it.
