16. Can you not speak human words if you are not human?
Yu Yan was confident in saying this.
His predecessor, Monk Shenxiu, was very homeless, which also led to Yu Yan's discovering that this monk's savings were really huge...
Although the Yi family’s annual offering is given to Lanxing Temple, the Yi family’s ability to avoid taxes depends entirely on monk Shenxiu who became monks, so they will send extra money to monk Shenxiu every month.
The money of the Yong Dynasty was equivalent to the Song Dynasty in Yu Yan's memory, which was equivalent to 770 cents.
That is, seven hundred and seventy copper plates.
This money is not a small amount. The cattle from Yongchao can be slaughtered, but the conditions required for slaughtering are very complicated. Therefore, only in the county towns can there be places where beef is openly sold. In places like Sutanghe County, beef cannot be found on the market.
The price of beef in the county town is usually 70 cents per kilogram!
You can buy eleven pounds of beef for a consistent amount of money.
Beef is undoubtedly something that only wealthy families can afford, and the value of this money can be imagined. During the ten years of becoming a monk, Monk Shenxiu, who rarely went out, has accumulated a full 115 money!
That's right, Yu Yan is cheaper now...
"Monk, are you willing to spend money?" Wu Yue, who successfully achieved his goal and did not step on the quilt, immediately looked at Yu Yan in surprise when he heard this.
This stingy monk is actually not stingy?
The shiny pair of vertical pupils were full of incredible ideas.
Yu Yan was looked at by Wuyue, and he knew very well in his heart why Wuyue asked this.
This cat has been with Monk Shenxiu for nine years. Since he can transform into an adult, he thinks he has had the wisdom very early. After spending time together, it is normal to know Monk Shenxiu's personality.
On average, Monk Shenxiu only spends half a cent of money a year, because sometimes he has to buy scriptures to read, otherwise Monk Shenxiu may have spent a cent of money in the past ten years.
Because the scriptures here are not cheap, the cheapest one costs 500 cents per scripture.
If it is a little more expensive, a book of scripture costs several cents!
So Yu Yan said, "This is not because I am reluctant to spend money, but because I am eating and drinking in the temple, there is really no place to spend money. And I have no other requests, as long as I can eat and spend food and clothing, it is enough. In the past, I didn't know that you had already understood the mystery. Now that I know, I naturally have to treat you with courtesy. How can I neglect you?"
"Then I want good-looking clothes!" Wu Yue said immediately.
Where can girls not love beauty?
"Of course there is no problem with this, let's talk about the food first." Yu Yan agreed in one bite. He remembered Chengxu said that at the foot of the Thorn Ridge, there was a grass market. People from several nearby farms would gather together to buy and sell every few days, and each took the needs. I thought that there would be one selling cloth when I came.
It may not be that these fabrics are very good, but I think it's okay to make do with a big man.
"Then I want to eat meat, I don't want to eat vegetarian food!" Wuyue said, and then she looked like "I'm very fierce". With this stingy monk eating vegetarian food, she could hardly tell whether she was a cat or a rabbit...
(=`?'=;)
She is a cat!
A cat that eats meat! It’s not a rabbit!
I want to eat meat, too...
Yu Yan swallowed silently, then said with a quarrel: "Okay, you eat meat, I am a vegetarian."
Hearing Yu Yan say this, Wu Yue jumped into his arms happily, and then rubbed his head with his face while urging: "Hurry up! Hurry up!"
Yu Yan immediately walked out of the guest room and headed straight downstairs.
This inn is divided into two floors.
When we arrived downstairs, many people from the Changfu Escort Agency had already gotten up and were eating in the lobby downstairs. Arms were very labor-intensive, so we had to eat early in the morning, instead of just two meals a day like the monks in the temple.
After all, chanting scriptures and meditations does not take much effort.
"The monk is up. I don't know what the monk wants to eat?" The inn asked immediately.
The monk is a respectful name, and calling Yu Yan a great monk is obviously the scene of asking Yu Yan to stay in the best guest room last night, which made the guy misunderstand something and think that Yu Yan was from a place where he was.
Because only high monks are qualified to be called great monks.
"Namo Amitabha, just put a steamed bun for me, but can there be fish? I don't eat meat, but this cat doesn't eat meat." Yu Yan said.
When the innkeeper heard this, he looked strange and said, "It was the first time he saw him buying meat for the cat, but he didn't say anything, just said with a embarrassed look: "The great monk doesn't know anything. Because Manager Wang's advice last night, all the meat in the store was used to make buns. In a while, there was no meat in the store."
There is no refrigerator here, and it is not the autumn and winter season now, so there will be no more meat prepared in advance.
"Then the last one..." Yu Yan was about to say a bun, but a cat's paw was gently scratched on his cheek, and immediately changed his words: "Two buns."
"Please sit down, the younger one will come here."
Yu Yan found a corner to sit down, and then asked the cat in a low voice: "Can you eat two buns?"
He was not worried that the cat could eat or not, but was thinking that if the cat couldn't eat, wouldn't he be able to secretly hide a meat bun and then eat it secretly?
As soon as he thought about this, Yu Yan felt the saliva in his mouth and his food and intestines were dying.
After all, because many people in this hall were gnawing buns, the whole room was filled with the smell of meat from the buns.
"You can eat it!" Wuyue also spoke in a low voice.
"Seriously?" Yu Yan's eyes slanted and looked at the cat. The cat was not big, especially the belly, which could hold two buns?
He was very suspicious.
"I don't eat bun skin." Wu Yue explained in a low voice when she saw Yu Yan looking at him.
Yu Yan: “…”
Excessive!
Too much!
Where can I eat buns and only eat buns stuffing?
Listen, is this human word?
Oh, this girl is really not a human...
Yu Yan was discouraged and had to chew the steamed buns brought by his friend. Then he saw the cat tearing the buns open very skillfully, not afraid of being hot at all. It seemed that the skin became much thicker after becoming semen, and it might even be inseparable from water and fire.
Wuyue happily ate the stuffing of the buns after biting it out of the torn buns.
The bun stuffing here is not like Yu Yan before traveling through time, with only a little unknown meat, but a whole piece of meat. After rolling it out, it is made of simple ingredients, full of meat flavor!
A smell of meat then penetrated into Yu Yan's nose. He couldn't help but take a hard breath, and suddenly felt that the steamed buns in his mouth were no longer fragrant at all.
He also wants to eat buns.
Meat buns!
His eyes were staring at the buns on the plate on the table, Yu Yan swallowed, and then looked at the torn buns, and suddenly thought - he doesn't eat meat, isn't it?
This shouldn't be considered breaking the precepts, right?
After all, he only ate bun skin.
What's more, the abbot Shenhui has already allowed him to break the precepts. This is broken sooner or later, anyway, it is broken the precepts!
Chapter completed!
