Chapter 4168: Laba Congee
"At this time, it was a shepherdess who filled some chyme and gave him a drink, which allowed him to regain his strength. After that, Sakyamuni sat for another seven days. Finally, on the eighth day of December, she enlightened and became a Buddha. ."
"What is milk rice?" Consort Wan Qing had never heard of such a thing.
Li Yun looked at Wan Nishang, and said with a smile: "Senior Nishang should understand, right?"
Wan Nishang held the "Li Yun special" branch broom, and laughed when he heard the words, and stretched out her finger to point on Wan Qing's forehead: "Let you read more books, you just won't listen. The so-called mi is just porridge. It was poor in ancient times. People who eat rice are just drank and boiled with a mixture of various grains, and they can only eat rice during the holidays."
In ancient times, the ability of poor people to eat white rice was already the Chinese New Year. As for eating meat, it was simply a Chinese New Year, and the average year might be just a couple of pieces of minced meat.
Like Fan Linglong, Wan Nishang has lived for hundreds of years. Even if they are of extraordinary origin, they have lived for a long time and they have seen a lot. They still have a good understanding of the life of ordinary people in ancient times.
"Hmph, I know..." Consort Wan Qing avoided the master's finger.
Li Yun continued: "Celiac is made by co-cooking milk and grains, which is similar to porridge. Besides, don’t you feel familiar? On the eighth day of December, drink porridge."
"Isn't it just Laba porridge." Wan Nishang rolled her eyes and smiled again: "I have also drunk Laba porridge for many years, but I didn't know that the Laba porridge came from the Buddha... In other words, the first Laba porridge that year was the Shepherdess Is it here to provide Buddha?"
"Yup."
Li Yun nodded.
The first Laba Congee is not on the eighth day of December, but on the first day of the lunar month, or earlier. The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is only the day when the Buddha attained enlightenment.
"So that's the case." The old monk who cleaned the bottom of the tower also heard Li Yun's words and said with emotion: "The shepherdess has kindness in her heart. I think she will also receive kindness in return afterwards. The things in the world are like this. Good and good. Repay the evil, Amitabha."
"Ah Amitabha~"
Wan Qingya also announced the Buddha's name, but it was deliberately mispronounced. It was so funny that her sister knocked her again.
Wan Qingya smiled, and quickly continued cleaning.
Li Yun's story is almost done, but he doesn't understand other things very well, so he won't tell it.
The next step is the quiet work time. Although the pagoda has only two floors, it has been too long since no one has cleaned it. The five people have been busy working from close to noon until the evening. They rested and ate for more than an hour until the moon rose. At that time, the pagoda was cleaned up, and a large area of open space was also cleared around, basically restoring the appearance of the year.
Except for those stones that have been eroded so badly.
"Finally finished……"
Standing under the stupa, Wan Qingya looked up at the renewed stupa, wiped the sweat from her forehead, she was so tired that she was going to get down.
She didn't use any magic power throughout the whole process, cleaning little by little, removing all the rocks and vines.
To be honest, if it were not for Li Yun to accompany her to encourage her, she would have quit her burdens a long time ago.
Her elder sister and mother are similar, they are all very tired, and this meticulous work is particularly exhausting.
Li Yun finally received the prompt from the system, but nothing happened, as if it was just something in the dark that paid attention to this matter.
"Ok, let's go back now!"
