Chapter 69 Why should my junior brother take on such a difficult task?
What Lu Feng took out of the insulated box were two paper bags filled with steamed buns.
"Seeing the two monks sweeping and cleaning so early in the morning, they've only glimpsed a little of the Zen teachings, which probably isn't enough to fill their stomachs. I happen to have two steamed buns here," Lu Feng added. "Vegetable buns, please have a taste."
"Steamed buns?" Hai Chi chuckled, taking the bag. They were warm to the touch. "You're too kind, Benefactor Lu. But as for these vegetarian steamed buns, this humble monk has more to say than anything. We've had enough; the temple canteen provides them every day..."
Hai Chi was secretly wondering what other tricks he could make with a steamed bun, when he heard Hai He exclaim in surprise, "It's so delicious! I feel like I've never eaten steamed buns properly in my life!"
"Ha, what kind of behavior is this?" Hai Chi thought his junior brother was not composed at all. Seeing Hai He eating so happily, he still looked curiously at the bun in his hand.
These buns are uniformly sized, with delicately pleated edges, and the dough is white and smooth, even gleaming faintly in the morning light.
Hai Chi thought to himself, "There's definitely something special about this; it's not something you can just buy on the street." The aroma of noodles enveloped the fresh scent of vegetables, not as overpowering as the fiery beef from before, but with a unique, comforting flavor that gently wafted into his nose.
So, despite what Hai Chi said, the tempting aroma still made him pick it up. The bun was slightly hot to the touch, soft and springy, and he took a small bite.
One bite, just one bite. Hai Chi felt a warm sensation travel up his spine, warming him up in the bleak autumn wind.
Soft and fluffy! The dough is incredibly soft yet has just the right amount of chewiness, resulting in an excellent texture. The pure wheat flavor melts in your mouth.
Sweet and fresh! Inside are crisp, tender, and sweet green vegetables, perfectly seasoned with a light touch, bringing out the best in the natural sweetness of the vegetables.
He could almost hear the babbling brook in the mountain stream, the chirping of birds in the woods, and the dripping of morning dew. He could almost see the tender green vegetables growing vigorously under the sun, drinking in the sweet stream water, and thriving amidst the melodious songs of the birds.
This deliciousness isn't from MSG; it's the natural freshness resulting from the combination of the ingredients' inherent quality and the chef's skill!
"Mmm!" Hai Chi let out a muffled, satisfied groan, quickly stuffing a steamed bun into his mouth, his cheeks bulging and his face beaming with happiness.
"This is so delicious! I feel like I've never eaten steamed buns properly in my life!"
Ha, what a character. Haihe felt that this senior brother was really pretentious, so he always called him by his name and never called him senior brother.
Getting back to the main point, the two brothers looked at Lu Feng with a hint of inquiry in their eyes.
"Amitabha... Benefactor Lu, these vegetarian buns are indeed extraordinary, excellent craftsmanship! Truly excellent craftsmanship!" Hai Chi, with his round face, took a step closer. "As the saying goes, no one visits the temple without a reason. Benefactor Lu, you've invited my fellow disciples to eat these vegetarian buns, so there must be something you need from us. Please speak freely, please speak freely."
Lu Feng thought to himself that this Hai Chi was not only quick-witted but also a shrewd person. Since the other party had brought it up on his own initiative, there was no need for further pleasantries.
He sighed and gave an improvised reason: "To be honest, Venerable Masters, the reason I came to your temple to sell this Fiery Beef was also a test from my master, but I didn't expect that there would be so few customers this morning. If I continue to wait for customers to come, I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue."
The two brothers, Hai Chi and Hai He, nodded repeatedly, with an expression that said, "I knew it."
Lu Feng pointed towards the mountaintop, "I pushed my cart up here, and the gatekeeper told me that the visitor flow at the top seems pretty good?"
Haihe replied, "We have quite a few pilgrims this weekend, but today is Tuesday, and it's early morning, so there aren't many people here."
"What Benefactor Lu is referring to should be the viewing platform at the top of the mountain. Our Qingzhu Mountain has a scenic spot called 'Green Bamboo Reflecting the Sun,' which is indeed quite picturesque and has a certain reputation. Every morning, there are still many tourists or photography enthusiasts who come specifically to see the sunrise."
Watching the sunrise? Tourists? Photography enthusiasts?
To increase the difficulty of his tasks, the system prevented him from advertising, thus rendering his accumulated customer base useless. It also prevented him from changing prices or giving away freebies, thus preventing him from engaging in any commercial activities.
Lu Feng knew this was the temple gate, so he specially made some vegetarian buns, hoping to get the monks to help him. He never expected that Hai Chi and Hai He would walk right into the trap before the temple even opened.
Lu Feng's mind raced, and suddenly his eyes lit up as an idea flashed through his mind.
"Two monks," Lu Feng said cautiously, "I have a favor to ask. I would like to ask you two to do me a favor and take some of these vegetarian buns to the mountaintop... just say they are newly made vegetarian snacks from the temple, and invite all the tourists to try them for free. If anyone wants more, please tell them to come to the temple gate."
Lu Feng then took out two large insulated bags from the insulated box. These were also products from the system store. Although they couldn't compare to the high-tech insulated box, they could still keep things warm for three or four hours.
"You two monks are truly discerning. These vegetarian buns of mine are made with fresh vegetables that grow naturally in the deep mountains, and they cost ten yuan each," he continued. "This bag of buns contains thirty for tasting, and this bag also contains thirty, which can be considered as payment for your labor."
The monk Hai Chi listened intently, not caring about the price, but he had never tasted such delicious vegetarian buns before. The lingering aroma of the buns still lingered in his mouth. It was all worth it for this bag of buns!
However, this kind of arduous task doesn't need to be done by the junior brother; the senior brother can do it all by himself.
Of course, he couldn't say this aloud. Hai Chi suddenly slapped his bald head, as if he had just realized something, "Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! This is killing four birds with one stone!"
"Four benefits in one fell swoop?" Haihe was stunned. How could getting a little reward be considered four benefits in one fell swoop?
Hai Chi raised his hand, shook it, and counted on his fingers one by one. "Look, Hai He. First, the diners are watching the sunrise and are probably hungry right now. Eating such delicious buns will surely make them happy and cheerful. Second, by doing this, Benefactor Lu naturally attracts more customers and increases customer traffic. Third, these tourists are being led to the temple. Our Kaiyuan Temple is built in a dignified and solemn manner. Since they're already here, they'll inevitably come in to offer incense and express their gratitude. Won't our temple's incense burn even brighter?"
"As for the fourth one..." Hai Chi chuckled, glancing at the insulated bag, "We've both been running around and satisfied our appetites. Junior brother, you can enjoy such delicious buns while also contributing to the tourists, the donors, and even our temple, accumulating merit. Isn't that a win-win situation?"
"Such a wonderful thing, why not do it? The abbot will surely praise us when he finds out!"
Haihe's lips twitched slightly. It really was his senior brother. But these steamed buns were good, and the request was reasonable. If it could really bring some popularity to the temple, it would be a good deed that would be perfect.
Haihe responded, rarely calling him "senior brother," "senior brother is right."
"In that case, Haihe, send a message to your master to let him know, and then we'll go together to make a trip for Benefactor Lu." After Haihe sent a message on his phone, Haichi picked up a bag, and the two of them hurried off.
Watching the two monks' departing figures, Lu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, but then his heart tightened again.
Will this method really work?
