Let's Drink and Eat Meat
"So that's how we collect rent. Then, Martial Uncle Huiqing, how much land does our Shaolin Temple have?”Ye Chen looked like a curious baby.
Huiqing also answered patiently,"There are tens of thousands of them, so collecting rent is also a laborious job. It has all fallen to our Chores Yard."”
Hearing this, Ye Chen suddenly understood.
One acre of land was 100 mu. If that was the case, the Shaolin Temple actually had more than a million mu of land! He was a big landlord! Ye Chen thought to himself, even without incense, just the rent of one million mu of land could support the entire Shaolin Temple.
However, on second thought, there were so many martial monks in Shaolin Temple, and martial artists had a huge appetite! Without the income from the rent, they probably wouldn't be able to afford it. Poor literature and rich martial arts were not just words.
Many monks from the Chores Quarters came to a tea house to rest.
After eating a few bowls of tea, Huiqing sent many servant monks to a village to collect rent. Collecting rent also required a lot of time. And Huiqing would usually take advantage of this moment to break her precepts.
Ye Chen put down his teacup and glanced at the many senior brothers who were leaving at the corner of the street. Then, he looked at Huiqing, who could not sit still, and found it funny. He had a feeling that the time had come!
"Sigh, I'll go out and take a look. I'll be back later. You guys watch out."
"Yes, Martial Uncle Huiqing!"
As expected, after a while, Hui Qing's spirit worm acted up and could not take it anymore. After giving some instructions to the servant monk, he pretended to be relaxed with his big belly, but in fact, he left anxiously. Ye Chenxin wiped his mouth and jumped down from the tall bench, hurriedly chasing after him.
"Martial Uncle Huiqing! Where are you going? Wait for me!"
After squeezing in the crowd for a while, Ye Chenxin finally saw the back of that oily and chubby head.
“！”
Huiqing was shocked. She turned around and immediately shouted,"Why are you here? Go back quickly!"
Ye Chen shook his head.
Huiqing pulled a long face and pretended to be angry."What did you promise me when we left the mountain? Now, Martial Uncle Huiqing wants you to go back quickly!”
Ye Chen still shook his head and revealed a sly smile,"Martial Uncle, are you going to drink and eat meat? Is that why you don't allow me to follow you?”
Hui Qing was stunned, and her face immediately turned red.
The feeling of being seen through by a junior made him feel guilty and embarrassed. He immediately wanted to deny it.
"Martial Uncle, bring me along! It was said that wine and meat passed through the intestines, and Buddha sat in his heart. I also want Buddha to sit in my heart.”Ye Chen immediately revealed a greedy look.
He did not come to catch Huiqing to break the precepts, but to break the precepts together. It wouldn't be good to scare Huiqing.
"You brat, how dare you. Aren't you going to abide by the rules?”
When Huiqing saw Ye Chen's greedy heart, her guilt and anger instantly disappeared, and she found it very funny. He was just pretending to be angry.
Ye Chenxin walked forward with a smile and said,"Uncle-Master, we're all on the same path, but you're blaming me!”
Huiqing had no choice but to bring him along.
Then, Huiqing walked a few streets in Stone Town with familiarity and came to a remote restaurant. There was a big pot of braised pig's head meat behind the door of the restaurant. Ye Chenxin smelled the fragrance from afar and could not help but drool.
"Little Xuchen, I didn't expect you to be so greedy. You're drooling.”
"Martial Uncle, touch the corner of your mouth.”
“！！！”
The two of them lifted the curtain and walked into the restaurant.
On the counter on the right, an old man with a pointy mouth and ape-like cheeks, wearing a skullcap, was typing on an abacus. His right hand was holding a brush as he recorded. At this moment, when he saw the two monks, his green eyes lit up and he greeted them with a smile,""Yo! Master, you're here today!"
"That's right. Shopkeeper, it's still the same old rules. Do you remember?!”
"I remember, I remember. Master, little master, come! This way please."
The shopkeeper's warm hospitality.
Ye Chenxin scanned the surroundings as he walked.
The tables in the shop were quite full, but there were not many customers. Some of the guests were dressed as Jianghu people with swords and knives. They drank peanuts and chatted with nonsense. After feeling Ye Chenxin's gaze, he glared back. Ye Chenxin did not want to be outdone and did not say anything else.
Under the manager's lead, they arrived at a private room on the second floor.
After they sat down, there was a feast! Good wine and dishes! They all greeted him!
"Pork, dried goose, duck, chicken, rabbit, stomach and lungs!”
"Eel, stir-fried lamb intestines, preserved meat, and frozen fish head!”
"Flounder, dirty, red silk, slice the sheep's head!”
As the waiter served the dishes, he skillfully recited the names of the dishes. Many dishes that looked, smelled, and tasted good were served on the table, filling it up. In the end, the innkeeper came and carried two jars of wine. He said,"Master, two jars of burning knives. Drink one bottle and take one away! Do you think it's all right?"
"Yes, exactly!"
Huiqing was so hungry that the fat on her body began to tremble.
Ye Chen's eyes were also filled with these delicacies, and he was drooling. When the shopkeeper saw the two monks, one big and one small, he found it funny. A hint of ill intent flashed across his beady eyes.
