Reborn – Super Chef

It was noon, when Ye Chui and Lin Wei arrived at the Lin family's villa, the vegetable master invited by Zhang Ying had already cooked a lunch for Lafayette, and Lafayette, Lin Zhengdao, Wu Haimei and Zhang Ying were sitting at the dining table Before the meal, the master was standing beside him, holding a rosary in his hand and chanting Buddhist scriptures non-stop. The whole picture was filled with a strange atmosphere...

Seeing Ye Chui and Lin Wei coming back, Wu Haimei immediately stood up from the dining table and came to greet her. With a depressed face, she took Ye Chui and Lin Wei's hands and whispered: "I don't know where this monk came from. Yes, Mom has finally become less obsessed with being a vegetarian in the past two days, and she immediately returned to the original shape after being disturbed by her."

Lin Wei looked at the dishes on the table next to her, and asked Wu Haimei strangely, "Mom, is his cooking delicious?"

"It's not as good as Ye Chui's food at all." Wu Haimei curled her lips, "The bland ones are like clear water, with only a little bit of oil added, and there are no condiments like onion, ginger, and garlic at all. There is no way to do it." Swallow."

"Then why is he still called a vegetarian dish master?" Lin Wei was a little puzzled, "Dad said on the phone that he is very famous."

"Didn't you see him chanting scriptures?" Wu Haimei pointed to the monk and continued with Lin Wei Yechui, "He said that as long as you listen to him chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha with sincerity, these meals will naturally become extremely delicious. To say that the food is not delicious means that she is not devout to Buddha."

Lin Wei: "..."

Ye Chui: "..."

It turns out that this is how the master of vegetarian dishes got his name...

"Old magic stick." Wu Haimei complained in a low voice.

Ye Chui looked at the old magic stick seriously, oh no, it was a Buddhist master, he was a middle-aged monk who looked about forty or fifty years old, and he was wearing a bright white and yellow cassock with a very peaceful expression on his face. As Ye Chui came in, he was looking at Ye Chui curiously.

In Buddhism, vegetarians do not eat meat and fishy food, and the meat food is fishy, ​​and meat represents condiments with strong flavors such as onion, ginger and garlic. Even in some sects, even celery is an ingredient is prohibited.

Using vegetarian dishes as ingredients, not using onions, ginger and garlic, and using less oil, the dishes made here will definitely not taste delicious, but it doesn’t matter, as long as the heart is sincere, the taste of the food will become more delicious. tasty……

"Ye Chui, what did you bring?" Wu Haimei suddenly saw a bag in Ye Chui's hand at this moment, and immediately asked.

"I prepared some ingredients at home, and I just brought them here today." Ye Chui replied, hearing Lin Wei say that a Buddhist vegetarian master came to Lin's villa today, Ye Chui would inevitably have a dispute with the other party, so he I specially prepared some ingredients, all of which are the "vegetarian meat" carefully prepared by Ye Chui in the past two days.

Wu Haimei's eyes lit up when she heard Ye Chui's words, and she immediately said: "That's great, I really can't eat any of this monk's food, so hurry up to the kitchen and help me make something edible."

Having said that, Wu Haimei walked over to Lafayette again and said, "Mom, I really don't have the blessing to enjoy this master's vegetarian dishes. Maybe I haven't reached that level yet, so I'd better eat the meals made by Ye Chui." , I like his dishes better."

Lafayette looked at Ye Chui, and then at the vegetarian dishes on the table in front of him, with a subconscious expression of regret on his face—this vegetarian dish is indeed difficult to eat, but the master next to him connected the deliciousness of vegetarian dishes with Buddhism , the more she believes in Buddhism, the more she will feel that these meals are delicious, and Lafayette has been a Buddhist for a long time, even if she thinks these meals are not very good, but after eating, she has to say that the meals are good , if the food is unpalatable, doesn't that mean that she doesn't believe in Buddhism sincerely enough?

"Xiao Ye, you are here." Lafayette greeted Ye Chui with a smile. During this time, her senses towards Ye Chui had skyrocketed. After saying hello, she immediately introduced the monk next to Ye Chui, "This He is Master Mingjing, with profound Buddhism, and his vegetarian dishes are very famous."

"Mr. Ye." Zhang Ying stood up again at this time and said, "Your cooking skills are also very superb. I have tried my best to invite Master Mingjing over here, except that I want him to sit at a table of vegetarian dishes for Lafayette and talk about your cooking skills. In addition to talking about Buddhism, I also want Mr. Ye to have a chance to learn from this culinary master, how about it, why don't you come and taste the taste of these vegetarian dishes?"

These vegetarian dishes are bland, for example, there is a boiled cabbage among them - this boiled cabbage is completely different from the boiled cabbage made by Ye Chui, it is completely boiled cabbage, with some salt...

If Ye Chui said that these dishes were delicious, he would definitely leave a false impression in Lafayette's heart. He doesn't believe in Buddhism, so how could he say that this dish is delicious?

But if Ye Chui wants to say that this dish is unpalatable, it will naturally arouse Lafayette's dissatisfaction, thinking that Ye Chui is disrespecting Master Mingjing.

Zhang Ying wanted to put Ye Chui in a dilemma.

However, it was obvious that Ye Chui was going to disappoint him, because Ye Chui didn't intend to taste this dish directly at all, he just smiled and said to the master Mingjing: "Come here without indecent assault, since I want to taste the dish If you want to prepare a dish, then naturally you have to make a dish for the master to taste."

Ming Jing chuckled, with the appearance of an eminent monk: "I have long heard that Master Ye Shi is a master of cooking. If I have the opportunity to see your cooking skills today, that would be my honor."

"Then please wait a moment, master." Ye Chui said with a smile, and then walked into the kitchen, and after less than a minute, he came out again, holding a plate in his hand.

Ye Chui made preparations before he came, and brought over some recently prepared ingredients. The ingredients only need a simple plate to be served on the table. Looking closely at the plate in Ye Chui's hand, the ingredients cut into pieces are golden in color , delicious and oily, this thing can't tell what it is at first glance, but it has a mouth-watering charm.

After all, Wu Haimei is a foodie. She stared at the plate in Ye Chui's hand, frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly thought of something: "Ye Chui, you must be a roast duck, right? You made it for me a while ago. A crispy roast duck seems to be very similar to this..."

Indeed, suddenly seeing the things on Ye Chui's plate, the golden color and the scorched appearance are almost exactly the same as the roast duck cut into pieces!

Upon hearing Wu Haimei's words, Master Mingjing suddenly changed color, and Zhang Ying next to him also deliberately showed an angry expression, and asked Ye Chui: "Mr. Ye, are you going too far? You know that Master Mingjing is a Buddhist The profound master even brought a meat dish for him to taste, isn’t this a difficult task?”

Ming Jing hurriedly put his hands together: "Amitabha."

"This is a vegetarian dish." Ye Chui said with a faint smile, "This is a dish made with winter bamboo shoots and tofu as the main ingredients, and there are no condiments with strong flavors such as onion, ginger, and garlic. This dish doesn't violate the Buddhist rules, right?"

The name of the dish presented by Ye Chui is called Vegetarian Duck. It is a fake vegetarian meat dish made of all vegetarian ingredients. This is the magic of Chinese food culture. The winter bamboo shoots are steamed and shredded, and the dried mushrooms are washed and cut into pieces Duck shreds, put it into the hot oil pan, and then add several seasonings such as monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, cooking wine, etc., stir-fry and mix to taste, you can imitate the unique aroma of duck meat, wrap it with tofu skin and deep-fry, as long as the skill is exquisite , and can more vividly imitate the appearance of roast duck.

This vegetarian duck was prepared by Ye Chui a long time ago, ready to be tasted by Lafayette, so that she would gradually accept meat, and now he just brought it out.

Zhang Ying letting Ye Chui taste Ming Jing’s dishes is a trap that puts Ye Chui in a dilemma, and Ye Chui letting Ming Jing taste vegetarian duck is also a trap that makes Ming Jing taste a dilemma—if Ming Jing tastes this vegetarian duck, the dish is vegetarian. Yes, but Ding Jing would still break the precept. Although he ate vegetarian food, what he thought in his mind was that he had eaten meat. This is a violation of the precept.

In the eyes of Buddhist eminent monks, what you do is not important, what is important is what you think in your heart, just like in the last life Ye Chui saw a Buddhist eminent monk accuse an online game, claiming that he killed a person in the game. Killing a real person is the same, and going to hell after death.

(This is really the case, you can search for children's shoes~)

Ye Chui can use this to accuse Ming Jing of not being good at Buddhism.

Of course, if Ming Jing refused to eat his vegetarian duck, then Ye Chui also had a lot of Buddhist theories to criticize Ming Jing.

After Ming Jing glanced at the vegetarian duck, he chose not to eat it.

I saw him show a pitiful expression, bowed his head and recited: "Pure monks and Bodhisattvas walk on the road, don't step on the grass, but pull it out with your hands? Why is it so compassionate to take all living beings and fill them with flesh and blood? "

Hearing these words, Lin Wei couldn't help leaning close to Ye Chui and asked in a low voice: "Ye Chui, what did he mean?"

Zhang Ying sneered and said, "Of course the master is talking about Buddhism, how could Mr. Ye understand?"

Ye Chui glanced at Zhang Ying with a smile, and then explained to Lin Wei: "This is a saying in the Shurangama Sutra, which means that monks who uphold the precepts will not step on the grass on the road when walking, let alone I have the heart to pull it out, I love plants so much, so I love animals even more."

Hearing Ye Chui's words, Lin Wei opened her mouth wide. She just asked casually just now, but she didn't expect Ye Chui to really understand the meaning of the words. Wu Haimei, Lin Zhengdao, Lafayette and Zhang Ying were also shocked. , looking at Ye Chui with a stunned look.

Master Mingjing couldn't help stopping the chanting in his mouth, and looked at Ye Chui with wide eyes.

Ye Chui looked at Master Mingjing with a smile, and continued: "Master, isn't the Buddhist scripture you are reciting at this time a little inappropriate? Although my dish is called vegetarian duck, it is actually a complete vegetarian diet. It’s accusing meat-eaters—don’t think you can fool people by picking a few words from Buddhist scriptures.”

"..."

The shock on Master Mingjing's face quickly calmed down. He looked at Ye Chui with some seriousness, and said lightly, "Vegetarian meat looks, you have already committed a crime. You didn't eat meat in your mouth, but you were eating meat in your heart. This is a sin, and people in my Buddhist sect will never eat these things."

What this means is that although Ye Chui's dish is a vegetarian dish, but it looks like a meat dish, he will commit a crime after eating it. He didn't eat meat in his mouth, but he was eating meat in his heart-this is the same as that person who accused him of playing on the Internet. The game Masters of Hell says the same thing.

Ye Chui chuckled, and continued: "Master, you said that Buddhists would not eat these vegetarian meats, but in fact, this category of vegetarian meat, also known as temple dishes, originated from monks and was invented by monks and monks." , and has a long history in China, which can be traced back to the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties."

"This..." Master Mingjing suddenly became a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "Those monks are all broken monks, after all, they are only a small number..."

"Master, what you said is wrong." Lin Zhengdao suddenly interrupted at this moment, "Last year I took my mother to Fahua Temple in Yanjing to offer incense and worship Buddha. At that time, I ate the vegetarian food made by the temple. I didn’t think about it at that time, but now I feel that those vegetarian dishes are actually vegetarian meat, but because of the vegetarian movement, the method of vegetarian meat is no longer authentic, without the charm of the original, but these methods are still handed down , Fahua Temple is a famous temple in China. It is said that there are various famous temples all over the country that have similar vegetarian feasts to entertain pilgrims. According to what the master said, are these famous temples also belong to a small number of cracking monks?"

Lin Zhengdao was naturally on Ye Chui's side at the moment, and his words were all for Ye Chui's argument.

Temple cuisine is such a feature, it is a very famous cuisine in China, although it is a vegetarian dish, but it is a cuisine that imitates meat dishes, this kind of dishes are often more expensive than meat dishes, and the orthodox vegetarian feast is even eaten by ordinary people Great.

"This..." Ming Jing obviously didn't know how to refute it, because these were all facts, and there was a trace of doubt on his originally peaceful face. On weekdays, he went around to talk about Buddhism, because of his master's name, That person was not respectful to him, and this was the first time someone dared to refute him like this.

Lafayette also had some doubts about Master Ming Jing's Buddhist attainments, and looked at Ming Jing with some doubts.

Zhang Ying showed a dark expression eagerly, Zhang Hantao hired Ming Jing at a high price, but she didn't expect him to be questioned by Ye Chui.

And that's not the end yet, because Ye Chui smiled lightly, and then said to Ming Jing: "Master, I actually have opinions on Buddhist vegetarianism."

It is almost a matter of course for monks to be vegetarian, but at this time Ye Chui raised doubts!

Ming Jing already understood that the young man in front of him was not easy to mess with, so he said coldly, "What do you think?"

"Buddhism allows humans to eat flowers and plants, because humans return to dust after death and will grow flowers and plants, but if humans eat animals, they will return to dust after death and will also grow flowers and plants, and animals eat flowers and plants, so humans eat What’s the difference between cauliflower and eating animals? On the contrary, we eat flowers and plants, and animals also eat flowers and plants. Doesn’t this make us compete with animals?”

Ye Chui asked with a smile. (~^~)
