Chapter 396: Dream Quest (3)
"Okay, okay, just twenty kilograms, thank you. Li Xin agreed.
"Then come with me. After the proprietress finished speaking, after handing over the things on the counter to the waiter, she took Li Xin and Xia Xiaona to the backyard to weigh rice.
It didn't take long for Li Xin to come out with a bag of rice and Xia Xiaona.
"Is this the kind of tribute rice we just ate?" Xia Xiaona asked in a low voice.
"It should be, why do you ask that?" Li Xin said puzzled.
"The kind of rice just now is crystal clear and smells fragrant, but I think this kind of rice is too inconspicuous now. ”
"It's different when you cook it, don't worry, I think it's right. ”
"How can you be so sure?"
Li Xin came to the car and put the rice in the trunk, and then said: "This proprietress has been running a shop here for so many years, and she only sold it to us when she knew that we were repeat customers." You see, she just said that we should help her promote her little shop, and if she sells us fake goods, won't she smash the sign herself? ”
"It makes sense, why didn't I think of it. Where are we going now?" said Xia Xiaona.
"I heard that there is a Confucian Temple in the county not far from here, which is quite famous, why don't you go and see it?"
"Okay, let's go. ”
The two got into the car and drove straight to the county seat.
The Confucian Temple in the county was built in the Yuan Dynasty and has been more than 800 years ago. The gate is made of stone and wood, and there are stone carvings of lions, unicorns and dragons on the pedestals. The top bucket arch is dense, and the short wall of the flower brick on both sides forms the top of the five-purlin triple eaves archway, which is very beautiful.
After entering the gate, there is a lotus pond with rippling blue waves, commonly known as the sea of learning. There is a small island in the pond, there is an embankment and a bridge to communicate, take the meaning of "the book mountain has a road for the path, and the sea of learning is endless".
There is a stone memorial arch built behind the pool, there is "dismount stone" in front of the square, the ancient civil and military officials regardless of the size of the official position, all get off the horse here, walk in.
This temple sits in the north and faces south, with a depth of several hundred meters, starting from the gate to the main building of the Confucian Temple, Dacheng Hall, there are a total of seven spaces.
Li Xin and Xia Xiaona followed the road to carefully explore the various scenery in the temple.
Dacheng hall lined up five halls, the top of the hall glazed yellow tile, warped horn flying, majestic magnificent, meteorological **.
In the whole temple, the ancient wood is Xiao Sen, and it is verdant. Pine, cypress, bamboo, willow, a thousand forms. Even in early spring and February, all kinds of flowers still compete with each other, and the dark fragrance hits people.
Xia Xiaona was secretly surprised: "I didn't expect that there would be such a large Confucian Temple in such a small county!"
Li Xin said: "After visiting this Temple of Literature, I suddenly had a feeling of traveling back in time, as if I had returned to the time when I was in elementary school. ”
Xia Xiaona smiled: "Did you go to elementary school in the temple?"
Li Xin said: "I'm really right, the school I went to primary school is called Lucheng Primary School, and the school is built in our local Confucian Temple." ”
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, it's just that our Temple of Literature there is not as big as this, but the overall building is similar to this. This Confucian Temple has a total of 7 courtyards, and the Confucian Temple where our school is located has 3 courtyards. The main hall is similar to here, but the statues enshrined in the main hall were dismantled at that time, and a lot of table tennis tables and sports equipment were placed in the hall, and we were in the main hall when we practiced table tennis in physical education class. I remember very well that at the entrance of the main hall was a platform of more than 200 square meters, surrounded by marble railings. When the school has a general meeting, the school leaders sit on this platform. ”
"And where is your classroom?"
Li Xin pointed to the wings on both sides of the hall and said: "In the wings on both sides, I remember that the doors and windows of our classroom are all wood, and they are hollowed out, which is very quaint. You see, as soon as you come in, there is a lotus pond in this temple of literature. There is also a pond in the Temple of Literature where our school is located, and it is much more beautiful than the lotus pond here. The pool was about 20 meters wide and probably nearly 200 meters long. There are three stone arch bridges built on top of the pool, which divide the whole pool into four small pools, which are connected by the bridge openings of the arch bridges. ”
"Is every courtyard similar to this?"
Li Xin took a closer look and said: "Although the number of courtyards is not as large as the courtyards here, the size of each courtyard is larger than that here. I remember that next to our class is the main hall, and there are two classes on the left and right sides of our class, which means that there are a total of 6 classes in the wings on both sides of the courtyard, and you think about how big that courtyard is. And the entire courtyard is covered with large bluestone floors. Because of the age, the bluestone blocks on the ground have been polished smooth. There are also a few tall cypress trees planted in the courtyard, and that one courtyard can accommodate all the teachers and students of the school to hold a meeting there. Each courtyard has a gate, and the threshold of a whole piece of wood is very high, and the wooden gate is very thick, like the ancient city gate, and several students can't push it hard. In terms of momentum, it is more spectacular than the gate here. ”
Xia Xiaona quipped: "I didn't expect you to be a little monk from the temple, and you have time to take me to visit your temple." Is the school still there, and are the students still in the wings?"
"Okay, you can go back with me when you have time, and I'll take you to see it. I haven't been back to that school for many years, and I've heard that many of the buildings in the Temple of Literature are now protected as monuments, and there are probably very few students attending classes in it. ”
"I think so. ”
After Li Xin and the others came out of the temple, they went to several scenic spots along the way. By the time he sent Xia Xiaona downstairs to her house, it was already 10:00 at night.
After Xia Xiaona got out of the car, she said to Li Xin: "Go back quickly, rest early, I've been driving for a day today, I'm very tired." ”
Li Xin yawned, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back." ”
Xia Xiaona only drove for an hour or two on this road, and Li Xin was driving the rest of the time. In addition, he didn't have a good rest at noon, and he was already very sleepy at this time.
After returning to the villa, Li Xin took a hot bath and then fell asleep.
Because she knew all the data of Li Xin's transaction, Xia Xiaona also had more worries in her heart.
As soon as she arrived at the office on Monday morning, she downloaded a futures market software and began to pay attention to the profit and loss of Li Xin's transaction.
On this day, the price of sugar did not live up to Li Xin's expectations, with a price of 4,530 yuan after the opening of a slight step, in the integer of 4,500 yuan after receiving support, it gradually rose, to 10:14, the price came to 4,545 yuan.
This time, it was the bulls who pulled the price up before the market closed at 10:15 morning, signaling a rise in the price after the reopening at 10:30.
Sure enough, after the opening at 10:30, the bulls launched a wave of fierce offensive, and in just 10 minutes, the price was pulled to 4630 yuan.
Li Xin secretly applauded in her heart when she saw it, if she had hesitated and delayed for more than 20 minutes on Friday, she would have missed this wave of gains.
This move by the bulls completely shattered the confidence of the bears to continue to suppress the price, and since then until the close of trading at 11:30 a.m., the price has been consolidating at a high level, and the bears have no ability to continue to suppress the price downward.
The market trend of sugar futures was also seen by Xia Xiaona.
This is the first time she has watched futures prices so seriously, and not as an outsider.
She had also seen the trend of futures prices before, but at that time, no matter how those prices changed, in her mind was a number that had little to do with her.
Prices rising to the sky or falling to the ground will not affect her mood in any way.
But today is different, the thin curve on the computer screen keeps moving back and forth, and it also affects her mood up and down.
She knew that the cost price of Li Xin's 10,000 tons of sucrose was 4,531, so as long as the price curve rose by one point at 4,531, Li Xin would earn 10,000 yuan more, and if it fell by 1 point at 4,531, Li Xin would lose 10,000 yuan.
Looking at the changes in the curve and thinking about the profit and loss on Li Xin's account, Xia Xiaona's heart was pounding, and her palms were always sweating.
After the close of the morning, it was estimated that Li Xin had earned more than 800,000 yuan in her account, Xia Xiaona ran upstairs to Li Xin's office, and as soon as she entered the door, she said: "This morning has made me so nervous that my heart is about to jump out of my throat!"
Li Xin asked, "What's so tense?"
Xia Xiaona said: "I'm not worried about you, I'm too nervous to watch the price go up and down!"
"Hey, it's because of this? Don't look at it, it's over. ”
"You've told me everything, can I not worry about it?"
Li Xin smiled: "Blame me, I won't tell you this in the future, so you won't have to worry." ”
Xia Xiaona breathed a long sigh of relief: "I know that it is not easy to make money in futures, sitting motionless at the table and watching the market for a few hours is more tiring than me running outside for hours." ”
Li Xin said: "It's good to get used to it, of course you will feel nervous the first time you see it." ”
Xia Xiaona said with deep feelings: "No wonder you said that you don't take a break at noon, your head is confused when you go to work in the afternoon, it turns out that you are so tired to see the market." I didn't even dare to watch it in the afternoon, it was too sad. ”
Li Xin said: "Yes, it's useless for you to be in a hurry next to you, delete the market software, don't look at it." ”
Xia Xiaona thought for a while and said, "I won't delete it, I'll wait until the market closes, so I don't have to worry about the market." ”
"Whatever you want. ”
"You're not going back, are you?"
"If I don't go back, I'll have to wait here until 1:30 to see the market. ”
"I guess so. Then I won't bother you, you can go downstairs to the cafeteria to eat, and come up and rest for a while after eating. ”
"Okay. ”
Xia Xiaona, who was in a happy mood, jumped down the stairs like a little girl in middle school. She thought as she walked: In just one weekend, Li Xin earned more than 800,000 yuan, and some branches of the Southern Group can't make so much money in a quarter. I really read it right, Li Xin is capable.
