“Benefactor Lin, why have you come to deliver firewood so early?” The door-opening monk asked Lin’s old man in surprise.
“I’m not here to deliver firewood today.” The old man from the Lin family jovially responded, “We’ve made some new food at home that’s quite suitable for the masters at the temple. So, we’ve brought it especially for the masters to try. Could you trouble the young monk to fetch the guest keeper and host, and ask if they could possibly keep it?”
“Amitabha Buddha.” The young monk uttered, somewhat amazed, after hearing the old man’s words, and glanced at the baskets.
However, the baskets were covered and it was impossible to see what was inside. After chanting the Buddha’s name, he said to the three Lins, “I will go and inform the guest keeper and host right now.”
“Please convey to Master Host that our new product is nutritious, and it is no less beneficial than eggs. Moreover, it’s vegetarian, perfectly suitable for the masters in the temple.” Lin Ziyin, in fear that the host might refuse to meet with them, took the opportunity to elaborate more.

“Amitabha Buddha.” The little monk chanted the buddha’s name and closed the back door.
“Grandfather, would the Host be unwilling to meet us?” Lin Ziyin asked with some apprehension. Regardless of who might come out to meet them, she believed that as long as someone in authority saw the tofu, they would undoubtedly be tempted. After all, Ding’an Temple was not short of silver, but the monks in the temple had too few dietary supplements. Tofu was absolutely the best choice for them.
“Is the price a bit high?” Lin Changshu was also worried.
“The price definitely cannot be lowered.” Lin Ziyin insisted, “If they don’t want it, we can go sell it at the market. Even if we can’t sell it there, I have ways to manage.”
She had thus already inoculated her brother and grandfather.
Seeing her determination, Lin Changshu and the old man sighed. Fortunately, if they didn’t manage to sell it, the loss would only be a dozen or so kilograms of beans, a bit of firewood, and some salt they had boiled later.
After both grandfather and granddaughter understood this, they no longer felt entangled.
“Amitabha Buddha.” At this moment, the door opened. Unexpectedly, the host and guest keeper of the temple had actually come out with the young monk.
“Master Host, Master Guest Keeper.” The old man greeted them with palms together.
“We heard you have a new food product for sale?” The guest keeper asked seriously, his eyes focused on the baskets.
“Yes.” It was Lin Ziyin who answered, “It’s this tofu.”
After saying this, she took the initiative to open the cover, and then lift the white cloth covering the top.
“This is the new food?” Upon seeing the fresh, white tofu, the Guest Keeper’s eyes roundened in surprise. The young monk and the host master also looked over.
“Yes, it’s our new tofu product, it’s more nutritious than eggs. Masters, you are all vegetarians and it’s naturally hard for the body. If you regularly eat tofu, it can compensate for this nutritional deficiency.” Lin Ziyin explained with a smile, fully devoting herself into the role of a salesman.
“You make it sound good.” The guest keeper said, frowning, “But how’s the taste?”
“Empty talk is pointless, it’s better for the masters to taste it and give their opinions.” Lin Ziyin said, “Master, could we borrow your stove to use?”
“Amitabha Buddha.” Master Host clasped his hands together, “Please, benefactor.”
This was his agreement.
Ziyin and her companions were filled with joy.
The temple stove was rather large, and Ziyin didn’t know how to use a traditional stove, so she simply asked Lin Changshu to help her stoke the fire. Under the gaze of the monks, she swiftly prepared a tofu soup with bok choy. The only downfall was that the soup could only be seasoned with salt, as there were no other condiments available.
