Raiders of the favorite concubine of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 14 The Vegetarian Debate
"Order." After Fulin finished speaking, he ignored me.

"I'm afraid that what I ordered is not to your taste." That's right, this is the usual emperor.

"Then what's the use of bringing you here?" Fulin frowned and looked up at me.

I thought to myself, yes, didn’t I just come to serve him.It just so happened that Xiao Er walked in with a pot of tea, and I found my savior.

"Second brother, please introduce the signature dishes of your store." I handed the menu to the waiter.

"It's the first time for the guest officer to see you. The dishes in our store are famous in the whole capital. Look at the roast duck, sauced pig's trotters, jelly in clear soup..." said the shop waiter and circled the menu directly. When I came out, I looked at about 9 dishes, and I nodded in agreement when the meat and vegetables were suitable. As for the price, I didn't pay it out of my pocket anyway.

After a while, Wu Liangfu walked in, and it seemed that the carriage and luggage had been arranged properly.

"Sit down and eat together." Fulin gestured to Wu Liangfu.

"Thank you master." Wu Liangfu thanked De De to sit down.

"Boss Wu, where are the others?" I looked around for a while. As for others, it's a waste of food for only four people to eat so much food.

"They are in the box next door." Wu Liangfu's words reminded me that there is a difference between master and servant, even if the emperor is out of the palace, the emperor is still the emperor, and the slave is still the slave.

"It's not in the palace, so don't shy away from it. We will have dinner together in the future." Fulin always feels that since she appeared, he has been subtly influenced by her, and those deep-rooted thoughts and rules deeply engraved in his heart are becoming unruly. .

I looked at Fulin in surprise, and felt a little ashamed of what I had just thought, of course it was only for a moment, because the food was served quickly, and seeing the customers below kept urging for food, I suddenly felt a little bit of a local tyrant's superiority .To be honest, I haven’t spent any money since I came here. I eat Fulin and live in Fulin, and there are 10 taels of silver and silk and other daily necessities every month. I really don’t know what 10 taels of silver can do. concept.I took a rough look at the menu price of this meal, and it actually accounted for half of my monthly salary. My waiter is really worthless.

"Wanshi, if you poke again, the fish will be smashed." Wu Liangfu couldn't help complaining when he saw Wanshi poking with his chopsticks before he could eat a bite of the fish.

"Ah? I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I came back to my senses, and quickly put the part that was poked by me into my bowl. After leaving the palace, I became more and more distracted. This problem needs to be corrected.

Because I am really hungry, although I always remind myself to pay attention to my image, my instinct is still not so easy to control. There is always a reason for being expensive. The food is really delicious, and the food in the palace is also delicious. All kinds of attention, I dare not make the food too strong, so it seems too bland for me who likes spicy food.I looked at the clouds around me, and it seemed that I couldn't let go. I just held the few dishes in front of me. I thought about it. Master.I took a blank plate and put some dishes that suit Yuncai's taste. Yuncai doesn't like spicy food very much, and likes sweets and sauce-flavored dishes. I just picked up a hoof and put the plate in front of her.

"Yuncai, eat more hooves, it's good for your skin. I beg the emperor to find you a good home when you leave the palace." I like Yuncai's blushing face the most, and I couldn't help but tease her.

"Auntie..." Yun Cai protested in a low voice, the voice was softer than a mosquito.

"Wanshi, why don't you eat it yourself?" Wu Liangfu asked casually.

"The hooves are easy to gain weight. If you get fatter, you will have to have the maid of the Ministry of Internal Affairs measure the size again next month before you can make new clothes. Besides, I don't want to marry, and I want to serve my master until I grow old." I solemnly said His tone caught Fulin's sideways attention.

"Yuncai won't marry either, and Yuncai will be with her aunt all her life." Yuncai also insisted.

"If you don't marry, I'll kick you out and eat your hoof." I stuffed the hoof into her mouth, and if I continued to be sensational, I was afraid that the scene would appear hypocritical.

Fulin was moved by the relationship between the master and servant. There is nothing lacking in the palace, but human touch.He looked at Wan Shi inquiringly, and saw that she was smiling like a flower, that is, she had just reached the age of Ji, but why did she give people the illusion of having seen the world, not to marry, she said this twice, not just casually, but out of determination for.Fulin held the fish in his hand, as if thinking of something.

"Wanshi, have you ever studied Buddhism?"

"No, I just read a few books about Buddhism, and I think they can calm people down, broaden their minds, and teach people to be kind." I knew he would ask one day, but I was only half-toned, and I didn't dare to make too much of it.

"Buddhism, teaching not to kill, exhorting all living beings to be vegetarian, I want to hear Wan Shi's opinion?" Fulin held a piece of fish, but did not put it into the bowl for a long time.

Wu Liangfu was so nervous that he glanced at the woman who seemed to have no sense of crisis. Companion to a gentleman is like a companion to a tiger. You must agree with Wanshi.

"Then I know everything I can say?" I glanced at Fulin, and I can say a long list about this question.My mother used to like to be a vegetarian, and I always liked to argue with her, and finally the faithful Buddhist believers were persuaded by me.I looked at Wu Liangfu's gaze, pretending not to understand, and secretly grateful.

"But it doesn't matter."

"I made a mistake, don't you blame me?" Although I don't like to force myself to say something against my will, safety comes first.I’ve read about Fulin’s life before. His devout belief in Buddhism even calls himself a “crazy man”. He rarely eats meat dishes when we eat together. Of course I know what he expects me to answer.

"Don't blame me." Fulin replied patiently.

Yuncai and Wu Liangfu next to her were both sweating, Yuncai was afraid that her aunt would challenge the emperor's bottom line if she said a few more words, but Wu Liangfu understood that Wanshi wanted to stand against the emperor.

"I don't know if the emperor has ever heard a saying, wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha will keep it in his heart." After I finished speaking, I waited for Fulin's response. He didn't shake his head or nod, but fell into deep thought, but he motioned to me after a while continue.I continued: "I think that every religious sect has its essence and dross. Of course, I am not saying that the idea of ​​vegetarianism is bad, but I think it is a bit paranoid. If soldiers in war are allowed to be vegetarian, how can they have Strength to fight to the death with the enemy? According to Buddhism, we should not kill, but if the enemy invades us, how can we defend our home and country? The slaves believe that the diet should be based on nutrition, health, and their own preferences. The so-called not to kill, the slaves There are doubts. Buddhism says that livestock should not be killed. As for vegetables and fruits, they are also their life from planting, germination, and fruit. Aren’t we killing them when we eat them? Why can they be killed? If slaves think more paranoid, Is it because we don’t need to eat anything? We are born on horseback and have always loved hunting. Should this tradition also be banned? The servant thinks it should be banned, but it is against the ancestral etiquette. The servant thinks it can be changed From a personal point of view, while ensuring your own interests, it is enough not to waste, and not to kill innocent people indiscriminately." After talking for a long time, I felt my mouth dry, picked up a cup near me, and drank it in one gulp.
