Chapter 348 Yonghe Temple
The seventh day of the lunar month.
Yesterday was the beginning of spring. According to solar terms, it has entered spring, but physically it still feels like winter.
Fang Shulin was busy in the kitchen early in the morning.
Yesterday she went to the supermarket to do some shopping. It was not good for two people and one cat to go out to eat every day. It would always feel like there was no home, and she also wanted to cook for Li Mu herself.
"Xiao Mu, it's time to have breakfast."
"Here it is."
Li Mu dried her hair, washed her hands, and walked out of the bathroom.
Two plates were placed on the table, containing fried eggs and ham. The staple food was toast, a bowl of vegetable salad, a boiled egg for each person, and a glass of milk.
There was also a small bowl in front of Mao'er, and Fang Shulin cooked two small fishes specially for her.
It's not a rich but nutritious Western-style breakfast.
"Mom, I guess I don't have the breakfast made by my aunt, okay?"
"That's it." Li Mu picked up the toast, put on the ham and omelette, and took a big bite, "It tastes good, very good." Delicious."
"That's good." Fang Shulin breathed a sigh of relief.
After the meal, Li Mu took the initiative to wash the dishes.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Brother Nan called me via video.
The video was connected and Li Mu saw her washing up.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu”
Li Mu unconsciously glanced at Dai Mao, but unfortunately he was blocked by a bear headband.
"Woooooooooo!"
"I don't understand."
"."
Brother Nan spit out the foam in his mouth and said to him: "Ask What are you talking about?”
“What are you asking about?”
"What are you going to do in the afternoon?"
"I don't know."
"How about going to the Lama Temple?" Brother Nan said while washing his face, "Many people in the capital go to the Lama Temple during the Chinese New Year. Burn incense and find a girlfriend.”
“Oh.”
“Go?”
"Go."
"Implement!"
After washing his face, Brother Nan picked up a piece of facial mask, tore it open and applied it on his face.
Li Mu stared at the screen without blinking.
Brother Nan understood immediately and explained: "Didn't I stay up late last night? The winter in Beijing is also a bit dry, so I need to replenish water."
"That's it."
"You can burn incense when you go to the Lama Temple, right?"
"Anyone is fine."
"?"
"Burn .”
"Don't forget to make a wish. Don't let those gods and Buddhas eat your incense in vain." Brother Nan said a few words and quickly pressed the mask beside his mouth with his hand, "Do you know what you want to wish for?"
"I know."
"What?"
"Bless me to find a girlfriend?"
"Why is it a question?"
"Bless me to find a girlfriend!"
"Well, I will bless you too."
"How can you protect me."
"You can come over now. "Brother Nan interrupted Li Mu's question, "I'll have almost finished cleaning up when you arrive. Let's go directly."
"Auntie. It's mask time. Auntie, are you going?" She took out the mask and patted it on her face, making a crisp sound.
Li Mu watched silently, seeing the flesh on her face trembling slightly as it was patted, as if it was very tender. This reminded him of the feeling when he pinched Brother Nan's face in Yuquan Mountain, but it was wet. It seems to be another story.
This gave him the urge to help Brother Nan take pictures.
"Are you stuck? Why didn't you say anything?" "Well, the network was stuck just now." Li Mu calmly came to his senses, "Let me ask."
"Ang, hang up then." Brother Nan started to prepare to apply lotion.
"Goodbye, Brother Nan."
Li Mu hung up the video and lowered his head. Mao'er was lying on his chest and staring at the screen seriously.
The video hung up, and Mao'er looked up at him in confusion, "Why is Brother Lan missing?"
"You'll see him later." Li Mu got up from the bed and changed Wear clothes and shoes when going out.
Passing by the living room, she asked Fang Shulin who was embroidering something: "Mom, are you going to the Lama Temple?"
Fang Shulin was shocked when she heard this, and quickly covered the embroidery, and then raised her head: " Yonghe Temple? Are you and Xiao Nan? "
"Yeah." Li Mu looked at the thing in her hand in confusion. Judging from the material, it seemed to be Yun Jin.
"I'm not going. You and Xiaonan can go play." Fang Shulin hid the things in her hands again.
"Then I'm going out." Li Mu retracted his gaze and bent down to pick up the yogurt.
"Be careful on the road."
"I understand."
Li Mu parked the car on the roadside on the west side of the Forbidden City.
Not long after, Brother Nan trotted over, opened the door, pulled him out of the cab, sat in, fastened his seat belt, and did it all at once.
"What are you doing standing around, get in the car." Brother Nan held the steering wheel and urged Li Mu outside the car.
"."
Li Mu silently walked to the passenger seat, opened the door, picked up the yogurt on the seat and sat down.
The Lama Temple is located in Dongcheng District. It was a mansion built in the 33rd year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. It was given to the fourth son Yinzhen, which later became Prince Yong's Palace.
Emperor Qianlong was also born and lived here. Since two emperors came out of Yonghe Palace, it became the "Longqian Blessed Land", so the palace has yellow tiles and red walls, the same specifications as the Forbidden City Palace.
In the ninth year of Qianlong's reign, the Lama Temple was converted into a temple and became the Qing Dynasty's center in charge of Tibetan Buddhist affairs across the country.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was identified as a national key Buddhist temple in the Han area.
Nowadays, this place has become a holy place for young people to burn incense. Whether they are looking for career, wealth, marriage, etc., they will come here to burn a stick of incense.
Whether it works or not, give it a try first. Anyway, the ticket is only 25, so it’s not expensive. If you are an elderly student, you can get a further discount.
It is 6.8 kilometers from the Forbidden City to the Lama Temple. Under normal circumstances, it takes half an hour to drive there.
However, Brother Nan is right. During the Spring Festival, there are many people praying for blessings and burning incense. When they reach Dongsi North Street, the traffic jam starts. They stop and go all the way. After 20 minutes, they have only walked a few hundred meters.
"It's already half past eleven."
Brother Nan glanced at the time, turned on the turn signal, and drove into a shopping mall on the roadside.
After parking the car, two people and one cat walked to Yonghe Temple.
“Oh, it’s been so long.” Brother Nan looked at the long queue of cars, grinned, and looked back at Li Mu, “How about it, I said let’s walk, wasn’t it very foresighted? ”
“Hmm.”
"Ahead is Yonghegong Street." Brother Nan pointed to the front, "It's already noon, are you hungry? How about we eat first and then go shopping when we are full."
"Okay."< br>
Brother Nan found a rice noodle shop on the roadside.
This shop specializes in rake meat rice noodles, using soup made from large bones.
Brother Nan ordered two bowls, and asked for braised chicken feet and chicken legs.
The taste is pretty good, the soup is made from big bones and cooked to perfection.
The soup is rich and delicious, oily but not greasy. The snow-white rice noodles are added with a slightly white soup stock, and some rake meat is placed on top. It seems that the meat is selected from the hoof, elbow and other places, and is still connected with thick The skin and fat have been simmered until it becomes soft, so soft that you can tear it off with just chopsticks and put it into a bowl. It is delicious and delicious.
Sprinkle some chopped green onion and serve it with the provided kimchi. It tastes light and delicious. After one bite, it goes into your stomach very softly and peacefully.
Immediately it warmed from my throat to my belly. It was extremely comfortable in this cold weather.
“Suck.”
Brother Nan took a big mouthful of rice noodles and narrowed his eyes with satisfaction.
"How is it?"
"It's delicious."
Li Mu was a little envious of Brother Nan's luck, so he randomly found a rice noodle shop and met Bao .
A chopstick of rice noodles goes down, and there is also the same light but rich meaty rake meat in the middle, half fat and lean, the thin rake is soft but not woody, the fat one is fragrant but not greasy, plus a little kimchi , even the last bit of greasy taste is completely gone, completing a wonderful neutralization.
It's hard to imagine that making a delicious dish requires only such simple materials and techniques.
It’s uncomfortable, I got a political warning today.
Brother Nan’s background is too big and there is a risk of political involvement. All subsequent plots of meeting Brother Nan’s parents, grandparents, etc. will be cut off.
Alas, some things still cannot be touched.
