Chapter 12 Mysterious vegetarian food (1)
"Almsgiver, this is the Zhaitang. The side hall on the right side of the Zhaitang is the guest hall. There are clean water and towels in it. You two go to wash your hands first, and I will tell the master in the Zhaitang to serve the meal!"

After Xiao Ni finished speaking, he bowed and saluted, then rushed to the dining room behind the dining hall.

"Mother, let's go to the guest hall!"

Shangguan Ning held Jiang Shi's hand in turn, bumping all the way down, Jiang Shi's face looked tired and tired, Shangguan Ning couldn't help but feel sorry for Jiang Shi a little, and a faint worry appeared on his face.

As soon as he sat down on the chair in the dining hall, the vegetarian dishes were placed on the table one by one. Shangguan Ning took a quick look and thought to himself that today's vegetarian dishes are a bit too rich, right?
On weekdays, I accompany my mother to pilgrimage, but there are three cold, three hot, six vegetarian dishes plus a vegetarian soup, but at this time there are more than ten dishes on the table, such as Ciyun Qingyu Roll, Furong Lotus Seed, Yunya Pine Nut Crisp, Jinxiu Mushroom Steamed Stuffed... This is the well-known vegetarian restaurant of Jingguo Temple, but because of the expensive materials and complicated workmanship, it is not available for ordinary officials and eunuchs except the royal family and nobles, not to mention that the Shangguan Mansion has already ordered the vegetarian restaurant before. How come these are served on the table?

Mrs. Jiang also sensed that something was wrong, so she called Shan Cha who was preparing vegetables and whispered a few words, only to see Shan Cha turned and went to the dining room behind the dining hall.

"Ning'er, you've been tossing around all morning, are you tired?"

Taking advantage of Shan Cha's absence, Jiang asked Shangguan Ning softly. After all, she was young, so she must be tired and hungry right now!
In her last life, in order to please the old matriarch of the Helian Mansion, Shangguan Ning had worked hard on vegetarian food. The most famous vegetarian food in vegetarian food was roasted goose, hibiscus fish, lotus and white assorted pearl soup, and Ciyun eggplant. Su Shangguan Ning could figure out the proportion of each ingredient very well with his eyes closed.

The mother and daughter were talking intermittently, and when they were young, Shan Cha came out of the dining room, her face was solemn for no reason, and she walked very quickly to Jiang Shi's side in an instant.

"Ma'am, this servant just asked the master in the dining room, saying that a nobleman saw that Miss Bingxue was so cute and liked it very much, so he sent the vegetarian meal that he had ordered to taste with Miss, to express his admiration!" Shan Cha said as she spoke. From the corner of her eye, she glanced at Shangguan Ning, who was sitting across the table, her tone was murmured, as if she was thinking about what to say and what not to say.

Mrs. Jiang's face darkened when she heard the words. These frivolous words turned out to be about her own daughter. She didn't have time to think about it. She got up and went to the main hall to find the supervisor and teacher, and asked who was doing such a thing in this quiet place. For such a frivolous thing, my daughter is only ten years old, so why did I incur such remarks from Meng Lang.

"Mother, don't worry, sit down first, Ning'er has something to say to mother!"

Shangguan Ning saw Jiang's expression of resentment and eagerness to leave the dining hall, so she hurriedly stopped her, and motioned for the flustered Shan Cha to grab Jiang's arm, and walked around the table to stand beside Jiang.

"Shan Cha, go outside the Zhaitang to see how Mama Zhang and the others have arranged for the incense offering!"

Shan Cha understood that it was the mother and daughter who had something to say, so she should go outside the door to pay attention to the people coming, so she didn't say much, and retreated to the door of the dining hall respectfully, and closed the door of the dining hall behind her.The light was blocked by the door, and the interior of the dining hall became dark.

"Mother, those who can come to Jingguo Nunnery to offer incense are either rich or noble, and those who can enjoy these famous vegetarian dishes are not ordinary people. They are most likely relatives of the emperor. Although my Shangguan is a first-class government , but compared with the royal family, it is weaker and lower, and now it is just a table of vegetarian food. If we insist on finding the heart of the person who gave the food or rejecting the person who gave the food, it will only increase trouble, so why not accept it happily In short, we can enjoy the incense and eat with peace of mind, and we can't say anything in this quiet place!"
