It has to be said that Grandpa Lin raised those hundred chickens really well; now he has so many eggs that he can't even finish eating them all.

Fortunately, eggs are a necessity at Clear Breeze Temple Temple's canteen, just like rice, flour, and oil. They are needed not only for breakfast but also for lunch and dinner, so Clear Breeze Temple Temple's canteen takes as many as it can get, accepting almost anything that comes its way.

Because these eggs are genuine free-range eggs, even though the price at Qingfeng Canteen is slightly higher, many discerning customers are willing to pay for the quality.

Yun Zhaozhao had assumed that since she was only returning at this hour, the viewers who had come to ride the wave of popularity in the live stream must have already gone home. However, to her surprise, as soon as she stepped through the gates of Clear Breeze Temple carrying eggs, sharp-eyed viewers spotted her and loudly questioned each other for confirmation:

Is he the abbot?

"She looks just as beautiful as she does in the video."

"What is the abbot holding in his hand?"

Although Yun Zhaozhao had deliberately avoided Grandpa Lin's farmland before, when she actually ran into them, she still waved to the netizens in a very generous manner, as if to say hello.

To her surprise, when she waved, those netizens actually came over. They even said they wanted to take a photo with Yun Zhaozhao.

Yun Zhaozhao: "... Okay, but please make sure the photo looks good."

Several girls took turns taking photos with Yun Zhaozhao. At first, Yun Zhaozhao tried different poses, but she got tired and simply stood there as a human standee, letting them take photos however they wanted.

After the photos were taken, a little girl asked Yun Zhaozhao, "Master, did you buy these eggs? They look so good, so big and round."

Yun Zhaozhao said proudly, "They weren't bought. They were hatched by chickens raised by our Clear Breeze Temple."

The girls exclaimed, "Wow, your Clear Breeze Temple even raises chickens?"

Yun Zhaozhao: "We at Clear Breeze Temple are self-reliant. We not only raise chickens, but we also farm!"

-

These girls came to Clear Breeze Temple not only to see the beautiful Temple Master Yun Zhaozhao, but also specifically to taste the cooking skills of Daoist Chang Kong. After all, during the recent Jingting stream, Daoist Chang Kong was cooking in the background, acting as a backdrop, which made many netizens drool.

Now that we're here, we should naturally go to the Clear Breeze Temple canteen for a meal.

Especially today, they ran into the free-range eggs that Yun Zhaozhao brought back, and the girls even decided to add a free-range egg dish to the menu.

When they went to the Clear Breeze Temple Clear Breeze Temple cafeteria with Yun Zhaozhao, they discovered that the cafeteria refused to take orders.

One of the girls, A Wen, was so shocked that she couldn't help but mutter to herself in front of Daoist Chang Kong and Yun Zhaozhao, "These days, there are still restaurants that refuse to take orders? How arrogant!"

Daoist Chang Kong said calmly, "If you have the strength, there's nothing you can't do."

A Wen: "..."

It has to be said that netizens these days are really quite rebellious. The more arrogant Clear Breeze Temple cafeteria is, not even allowing people to order food freely, the more curious they become to try it and see just how delicious it is.

In the end, all the girls stayed, and not one of them said they wouldn't eat.

Yun Zhaozhao naturally couldn't stay and watch them eat, so after putting the eggs in the kitchen, she left the cafeteria for the time being.

Anyway, once they entered the Clear Breeze Temple canteen, no matter how stubborn they were before entering, almost everyone who tasted Daoist Chang Kong 'Daoist Chang Kong cooking was completely won over. So Yun Zhaozhao wasn't worried at all about these girls causing any trouble. If they didn't have that much confidence, the Qingfeng canteen wouldn't have been open until now.

After leaving the cafeteria, Yun Zhaozhao originally planned to go straight back to her room to rest for a while. Speaking of which, now that Clear Breeze Temple has more employees and everyone is doing their own job, Yun Zhaozhao, who doesn't have a fixed position, seems a bit unproductive.

In any case, as the abbot of Clear Breeze Temple, Yun Zhaozhao felt that she was just a brick, ready to be moved wherever needed. If she wasn't needed anywhere, she didn't want to do anything; she just wanted to find a quiet place to stay and honestly be her brick.

As it turned out, this day was destined to be extraordinary, because as soon as she stepped out of the Clear Breeze Temple's canteen, she ran into another group of people. This time, they were a group of young people who looked like college students. Unlike the group of girls who had come empty-handed with their phones, these young men were carrying a cat carrier.

Behind the group of young men, who else could it be but Jingting?

When Yun Zhaozhao saw Jingting, she didn't need to ask the young men what they were up to; she simply called Jingting over and asked, "What are they doing?"

Jingting: "They found a stray cat, and then said they saw my live stream and thought our Clear Breeze Temple could keep it, so they brought it to our Clear Breeze Temple. You've come at the perfect time. Where do you think would be a suitable place for us to keep this cat?"

Yun Zhaozhao really wanted to slap Jingting on the head to see if his brain was full of water. Leaving aside the fact that their new Clear Breeze Temple wasn't even finished yet, there simply wasn't enough space to keep cats. And with so many people coming and going at Clear Breeze Temple, they had no idea what the temperament of ordinary stray cats was like. What if one scratched or injured someone? How would they explain that to the tourists?

Jingting listening to Yun Zhaozhao's words, Jing felt that they made some sense, but she also felt a little wronged. "But don't we have quite a few stray cats in our Daoist temple? I was thinking that since we already have so many stray cats, it wouldn't hurt to raise a few more."

Yun Zhaozhao: "Those stray cats came here on their own; they weren't raised by Clear Breeze Temple. Besides, they usually sit on the other side of the rose bush wall and never come into our temple on their own, so so far everyone is getting along fine. But if any guests complain that the stray cats are hurting people, we might have to find a way to deal with it!"

Jingting looked at the group of college students not far away, then at Yun Zhaozhao: "But the cat has already been brought over, and it looks injured. We can't just stand by and watch it die, can we?"

Upon Jingting this, Yun Zhaozhao swallowed the rest of her words and leaned closer to take a look. She discovered that the kitten did indeed have a wound on its leg, which looked like it was festering; it looked quite pitiful.

Several college students looked at Yun Zhaozhao as if she were a savior, waiting for her to make a decision. Yun Zhaozhao Yun Zhaozhao her heart. "Shouldn't we take her to a vet? We don't have any professional vets around here!"

One of the college students said, "I went to the doctor, and he said it's been delayed too long, and this leg can't be cured unless I have surgery to amputate it."

Jingting weakly suggested, "Perhaps we could let Lin Banxia give it a try? After all, she's best at trying anything, even if it's a last resort."

Yun Zhaozhao: "..." Be careful, Lin Banxia might hear this and beat you up.

Several students said that the school doesn't allow cats, and if they took the cat back, it definitely wouldn't survive. Yun Zhaozhao thought that if it didn't work out, she could keep it for now, and maybe if it recovered, she could send it to Grandpa Lin. After all, she heard from the villagers today that almost every household kept a cat, not for any other reason than to keep rats away.

Although the cat stayed, several students, upon hearing that Lin Banxia could heal the cat's leg, all said they wanted to go with her to see.

Yun Zhaozhao: "... They're the barefoot doctors within our Clear Breeze Temple, the kind without medical licenses. And they're completely self-taught; whether they can cure a patient depends entirely on fate. So I advise you not to have too high expectations."

Several college students said, "It's okay, we have nothing else to do anyway, let's just consider it spending more time with the kitten."

Yun Zhaozhao couldn't persuade the young people otherwise, so she and Jingting led the two of them to the backyard.

Now that Xiao Yao is gone and the new interns haven't arrived yet, Lin Banxia has become the busiest person at Clear Breeze Temple. After all, she manages so many flowers, trees, and shrubs in the backyard all by herself, and also has to find time to tend to her Chinese herbal medicines.

I'm basically busy all day long.

So much so that Yun Zhaozhao was thinking of pairing Miss Lin with a team of young people. After all, Grandpa Lin already has a senior citizen group, so Xiao Lin's youth group should also be added.

In this way, the Daoist temple will have three large groups: an elderly planting group, a young animal husbandry group, and a group of Daoist priests...

Lin Banxia didn't even blink when she saw the cat's injured leg; she immediately started flipping through the book.

Everyone else was used to it, but a few college students felt as if they were seeing themselves before their exams.

--Don't panic when you encounter a problem, read a book first.

The book Lin Banxia has been reading recently was lent to her by Daoist Qingxin; it's an ancient book. It contains various ancient prescriptions for Chinese herbal medicine. Lin Banxia has been reading it over and over again, so she quickly found a prescription for treating legs.

She didn't have any suitable tools at hand, so she went directly to the Chinese herbal medicine garden and picked all the herbs she could according to the prescription. If there were none, she didn't bother. Then she crushed the herbs on a stone and applied them directly to the stray cat's injured leg.

The whole process looked ridiculously casual.

And the entire process took no more than 10 minutes.

None of the college students reacted in time.

After everything was over, one of the college students asked Lin Banxia, "Is that all?"

Lin Banxia: "I've done everything I can."

The other person. "So, what's next?"

Lin Banxia: "Next, let's go to Clear Breeze Temple to pray for this cat! Let's pray that she's lucky and survives this ordeal."

Everyone: "..." Now we finally understand why many people say that medicine is based on metaphysics.

Clear Breeze Temple is a perfect example of this!

Chapter 73

The main characteristics of these college students are that they are kind and listen to advice.

Lin Banxia told them to go to Clear Breeze Temple to offer incense and pray for the cat, and they actually went.

Not only did they go, but they also each bought a safety bracelet from Xiaojiu Jiu.

This peace bracelet is a new souvenir from Clear Breeze Temple. It's simply a small bamboo tag strung on a red string, with the words "Clear Breeze Temple Protects Peace" engraved on it.

Because it needed to be produced on a large scale, the characters engraved on them were not carved by Daoist Chang Kong himself. Instead, Daoist Chang Kong wrote a draft and sent it to the all-powerful Taobao seller to have it engraved by machine. Because the cost was low, they were sold quite cheaply, 8 yuan each, or 15 yuan for two.
