Laba Porridge

"At this time, it was a shepherdess who gave him some chyle and gave him to drink, which restored his strength. After that, Sakyamuni sat hard for seven days, and finally on the eighth day of December, he became enlightened and became a Buddha. .”

"What is milk rice?" Concubine Wanqing had never heard of such a thing.

Li Yun looked at Wan Nishang, smiled and said, "Senior Nishang should understand, right?"

Wan Nishang held the "Li Yun's special" branch broom, smiled when she heard the words, and stretched out her finger to touch Concubine Wan Qing's forehead: "I told you to read more books, but you just didn't listen. The so-called rice is porridge. In ancient times, the poor People in China just drink rice, which is mixed with various grains and boiled, and rice can only be eaten during festivals.”

In ancient times, if poor people could eat white rice, it was already Chinese New Year. As for eating meat, it was simply New Year's Eve. In general, it might just be a few taels of meat.

Like Fan Linglong, Wan Nishang has lived for hundreds of years. Even if they come from extraordinary backgrounds, they have lived for a long time and have seen many people. They still know a lot about the lives of ordinary people in ancient times.

"Hmph, I see..." Concubine Wanqing avoided Master's fingers.

Li Yun continued: "Cyle is milk and grains boiled together, similar to porridge. Besides, don't you feel familiar? On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, drink porridge."

"Isn't it just Laba porridge?" Wan Nishang rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "I have also drank Laba porridge for many years, but I didn't know that this Laba porridge came from Buddha... That is to say, the first Laba porridge back then was the shepherdess. Is it offered to the Buddha here?"

"Yup."

Li Yun nodded.

The first Laba porridge is not on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, but on the first day of the first lunar month, or earlier. The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is just the day when the Buddha became enlightened.

"So that's how it is." The old monk who was cleaning the bottom of the pagoda also heard Li Yun's words, and said with emotion: "The shepherdess has kind thoughts in her heart, and I think she got kindness in return. This is the way things are in the world. Kindness comes with kindness." Retribution for evil will be rewarded for evil, Amitabha."

"Ah Amitabha~"

Wan Qingya also proclaimed the Buddha's name, but deliberately mispronounced it, which was so funny that her sister knocked her again.

Wan Qingya giggled and hurriedly continued cleaning.

Li Yun's story is almost finished, and he doesn't understand the rest very well, so he won't tell it.

The next step is to work silently. Although the pagoda has only two floors, because no one has cleaned it for too long, the five people have been busy from close to noon until the evening, resting and eating for more than an hour in the middle, until the moon rises. At that time, the pagoda was cleaned up, and a large open space was cleared around it, basically restoring the appearance of the year.

Except for those stones that have been eroded really badly.

"Finally finished……"

Standing under the pagoda, Wan Qingya looked up at the completely new pagoda, wiped the sweat from her forehead, she was so tired that she was about to lie down.

She didn't use any mana during the whole process, and cleaned up bit by bit to remove all the stones and vines.

To be honest, if Li Yun hadn't been by her side to encourage her, she would have given up her burden long ago.

Her sister and mother were similarly exhausted, and this meticulous work was particularly exhausting.

Li Yun finally received the prompt from the system, but nothing happened, as if some existence in the dark paid attention to this matter.

"Okay, let's go back after we bow!"
