Save the world once per month

During my lunch time today, I patronize my usual 菜饭 stall, to my surprise, instead of the always crowded lunch hour scene, there was only 小猫两三只. I cannot resist my top Human urge – curiosity, and words started to pop from my engrish mouth.

“乁,小姐,今天菜色不好吗?怎没人来吃?”
“不是啦!今天初一嘛!你不知吗?”

Now I am more confused.

“初一?初一不用吃饭吗?禁食哪有力工作?”
“不是禁食啦!是斋戒。”
“哦!”

I turn around and notice the vegetarian stall has a very long Q…

Such nobility, those Chinese, sometimes I don't even pray once in a month.
