Doing chores for the temple and helping Them out. Lin Mu wanted to give something back to the monks in a way that felt meaningful.

The monk had blinked in surprise. "You… want to cook for everyone?"
Lin Mu nodded. "A full vegetarian spread. Something special. Consider it a gesture of gratitude for your hospitality."
Monk Hushu scratched his head. "Well, the monks aren't exactly picky. We mostly eat for sustenance, not taste."
"Then let me show you what joyful sustenance can be."
