Then the old monk poured the things in the bowl back into the bowl. There was an empty bowl in the basin.

The old monk said: "Just now we put the walnuts first, now let's do it upside down and see what happens?"

He first put a spoonful of salt, and then put it in Pour water;

After filling, when you add rice to the bowl, the water has begun to overflow;

When the bowl is filled with rice,
