“Vegetable oil is secondary. Ding’an Temple is a nationally renowned temple, teeming with traders from all directions daily. If the temple offered exclusive vegetarian feasts, I believe all the temple’s yearly expenses would be covered,” Lin Ziyin tried her best to convince him.

She was confident that Master Hui Lian would be swayed by such an enticing proposal.

She had heard from her grandfather that this Guest Monk was a noble individual, always taking great care of temple matters, and was highly respected by the monks in the temple.

Such an enthusiastic person would surely be stirred by matters beneficial to the temple, right? Don’t think that monks can really be immune to worldly concerns. Born into the mortal world, not many can truly detach themselves from worldly affairs. A monk is first a human, and then a monk.

“What are your plans?” As expected, Master Hui Lian’s tone softened.

“Master, are you certain that you want to discuss it here?” Lin Ziyin asked with a faint smile.

“Benefactor, please come inside,” Master Hui Lian stepped aside to offer the way in.

Lin Ziyin politely thanked him and then followed behind him.

Her humble attitude made Master Hui Lian view her more favorably, and he couldn’t help but feel a little closer to her.

“Benefactor, could you explain what you mean by ‘vegetarian feast’?” As soon as they took their seats, Master Hui Lian eagerly began to inquire about the vegetarian feast from both Lin Changshu and Lin Ziyin.

“I want to partner with Master to open a private vegetarian feast restaurant. We’ll split the profits 40-40, with the remaining 20% going to a third party,” Lin Ziyin proposed. “As for ingredients, our Lin Family will provide a portion of them.”

“You only provide ingredients and you want 40%?” Master Hui Lian frowned and asked. As the guest keeper monk, he was in charge of the temple’s daily hospitality. Being familiar with worldly affairs was part of his job.

“No, I’m also providing the recipes. Master, do you really think that the dishes from the temple kitchen alone can garner profits?” Lin Ziyin countered.

Master Hui Lian’s face reddened.

“Even if you can provide a few recipes, taking 40% of the profits still seems too much,” he protested.

“Not ‘a few recipes’, but rather ‘thousands of recipes’,” Lin Ziyin said with a faint smile. “The private vegetarian feast is targeting the rich. I don’t want to sugarcoat it in front of Master. To be frank, if it weren’t for past favors and connections, I wouldn’t have even thought to partner with the temple.”

Master Hui Lian was left speechless by her.

What Lin Ziyin said was true; with thousands of menu items, plus fresh ingredients and vegetable oil, profits were guaranteed in any case.

“There are people who want to snatch my tofu and soy sheet recipes. I need a reliable partner to protect them. Besides, the temple and Master Hui Zhen have shown much kindness to my grandfather, the Lin Family. I’m actually unwilling to give away 60% of the profit,” Lin Ziyin did not hide her feelings.

“On the other hand, if Master refuses, it’s not a big deal. I could just sell my tofu and soy sheet recipes and start something else. The Lin Family certainly won’t starve. However, I won’t provide vegetable oil and other ingredients for the vegetarian feast anymore,” Lin Ziyin said, looking at Master Hui Lian with a faint smile.

“Benefactor, who do you plan to give the remaining two shares to?” Master Hui Lian asked with his palms together.

“The Prince of the Tomb,” Lin Ziyin answered.

“Why? Do you know the Tomb Prince?” Master Hui Lian was taken aback.

“I don’t, and moreover, I have no intention to get to know him better,” Lin Ziyin answered without any hesitation. “I heard that the Tomb Prince was raised in a temple and learned martial arts from a senior monk. As the ruler of Feng City, I don’t want our private feast to stir up envy and cause trouble for the Lin Family or the temple. As for the specifics, we’ll just have him as a figurehead.”
