Chapter 210: Gourd

"Okay, I'll go make ginger soup. When Zhang Limei heard Qin Yu's words, she hurriedly went downstairs to boil ginger soup.

"Okay, there's nothing to do here, I'm going to prepare some things, and I'm going to use them at night, so I'll take my leave first. Qin Yu said goodbye.

Qin Yu wants to leave, Meng Yao naturally has to follow, Meng Fang actually followed to say goodbye, the situation in front of him, when Xiao Bing wakes up, Xiao Han's family must still have a lot of people to say, but it is not convenient for him to stay here.

"Xiao Qin, thank you for this time, I really thank you, hey, I'm a little confused now, I'll treat you well next time, and Yaoyao, the Dong family will trouble you, I will go to the Dong family again in a few days, and think about how to compensate the girl." ”

Qin Yu nodded and didn't speak, Xiao Hanquan had to compensate the Dong family, in fact, if it weren't for Meng Yao's sake, Qin Yu wouldn't have asked Dong Yuanyuan if he was willing to let Xiao Bing go, even if Dong Yuanyuan was unwilling, he would help Dong Yuanyuan return his yang.

Of course, if Dong Yuanyuan is willing, then everyone will be happy, I just hope that Xiao Bing can learn the lesson of this time, be a good person in the future, and don't lose the face of his parents.

After leaving Xiao's house, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and after Qin Yu, Meng Yao and Meng Fang found a restaurant for dinner, Qin Yu took the two to a street specializing in incense and candles.

"I wonder if you can find magic artifacts in this NC incense and candle shop?"

Standing at the entrance of Incense Candle Street, Qin Yu remembered the dragon hunting plate, and he could find magic weapons in a small county town, maybe he could be lucky enough to encounter good things here.

"I said Qin Yu, you took us to this incense and candle street, what do you want to do if you just shop and don't buy it?" After visiting most of the incense candle feng shui prop stores in a row, Qin Yu only watched and didn't buy them, and Meng Fang finally broke out.

"Well, buy it right in front. ”

Qin Yu touched Mo's nose, a little embarrassed, he went to these shops to see if he could touch the magic weapon. But after shopping through so many shops, he didn't find a single good thing, it seems that this magic weapon is really rare, and he is really lucky to get the Dragon Hunting Plate.

"Good karma. ”

Qin Yu stood in front of the store, the name of this store was good, and when he walked into the store, the owner of the store was sitting on the table to eat, and when he saw Qin Yu and others coming in, with rice in his mouth, he said vaguely: "What do you want to buy?"

"Boss. How many candles do you have here? Qin Yu said directly.

"Candles, how many candles do you want, I have eight catties of candles, ten catties of candles, twenty catties of candles, fifty catties of candles, and a hundred catties of candles. The shopkeeper replied.

Candles are divided according to weight, not length, so we often hear people say that. Ten pounds of candles, twenty pounds of candles or something, and rarely listen to people measure by length.

"Twenty catties of candles, how many do you have, the amount I want may be a bit large. Qin Yu thought about it. Said.

"Boss, what are you talking about, how much do you want, how much do I have. Don't look at my small store, but there is a warehouse full of candles, do you want red candles or white candles?"

The so-called red candle and white candle refer to the candle used for red and white ceremonies. These two kinds of candles are not the same, red candles are divided into longevity candles and happy candles, the patterns carved on the surface of the candles are mostly auspicious patterns, and the white candles refer to some candles used in funerals, this kind of candles are generally painted with some runes, with Taoist runes being the majority, followed by Buddhism.

"It doesn't matter, I want two hundred pairs, do you have one?"

"Two hundred pairs? This boss, you really found the right store, I estimate that except for my store, there is no store in this whole street that can give you two hundred pairs of twenty pounds of candles at one time, two hundred pairs, I have them, but in the warehouse, you have to wait a while." ”

Qin Yu nodded, indicating that there was nothing to do, and the boss shouted at the store, "Ji Sheng, come out and take a look at the store, I'll go to the warehouse to get some goods." After shouting, the boss stepped on a tricycle at the door and rode towards the entrance of the street.

"It's good. There was a response from the store, and a young man with glasses walked out, still holding a book in his hand, which looked like it should be the boss's son, Qin Yu glanced at the book in the other party's hand, it was a book for the civil service exam, it seemed that this young man was preparing to take the civil service exam.

"My dad is going to the warehouse soon, you guys wait a minute. The young man didn't talk much, and after saying this, he sat in the position where the boss had done before, looked at his book, and was not afraid that Qin Yu and the others would steal the things in the store.

Of course, this young man will rest assured, also because there are no valuable things in the incense and candle shop, some dark coins, candles, incense and the like, who will steal this, take it back and curse himself?

People who often go to the Buddhist temple to worship the Buddha have a rule, that is, when worshiping the Buddha, they will buy their own incense, will not use the Zen incense placed there in the temple, and even the incense of relatives and friends do not want, in order to reflect the sincerity, there is another saying, using other people's incense is equivalent to helping others worship the Buddha, this Buddha Bodhisattva also only recognizes incense, you use the incense bought by others to worship, not to help others worship, what is it?

"Qin Yu, why are you buying so many pairs of candles, do you need to use them at night?" Meng Fang asked suspiciously.

"Hmm. ”

Nodding, Qin Yu observed the store again, there were shelves on the walls on both sides of the store, and then there was a stall in the middle, which was covered with things, and at this moment Meng Yao was curiously looking at a few things on the stall.

Qin Yu followed Meng Yao's gaze, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was also thundered by the things on the stall.

I saw that on the booth, there were IPONE, laptops, and all kinds of electronic products, and there was a sign on one side that read: In the digital age, the prefecture also needs it.

Looking to the left along these "digital" products, there are all kinds of "bank cards", "Hades real estate certificates" and all kinds of "cars", and Qin Yu is dazzled.

"When did this underworld become so developed? Seeing these things, Qin Yu shook his head and muttered in a low voice, I have seen it on the news before, and now many people burn some strange things for the dead during the Qingming Festival, which really sees these strange things, Qin Yu can only sigh, this society is really advancing with the times, and even this incense and candle shop has begun to keep up with the trend.

"Qin Yu, why do you still fold so many women. ”

Qin Yu walked to Meng Yao's side. Meng Yao pointed to the female paper figures in the stall, her face was slightly red, and she asked suspiciously.

Meng Yao's face was slightly red because these female paper figures were all scantily clad and extremely sexy, and the human skills of the origami people were also superb, and the attractive body parts of the women were highlighted by him to the fullest, and they were all convex and backward.

"This is called the Ten Beauties, and it is generally burned to the deceased male elders, so that the elders will not be lonely in the underworld. The young man who was still reading a book before walked out of the road and saw what Meng Yao was pointing at. He explained.

"Isn't it just burning a lover for a male relative such as a dead father? Qin Yu pursed his lips, Meng Yao was not stupid, he could hear the purpose of burning these female paper figures from the young man's mouth, a blush crept up his beautiful face, and he looked shy, and the young man who looked at it was stunned.

Seeing the young man staring at Meng Yao, Qin Yu coughed twice unhappily, secretly guessing in his heart that this buddy would not be attracted by Meng Yao when he put down his books.

This kind of speculation is not impossible. Qin Yu knew about Meng Yao's lethality to men, to be honest, among all the women Qin Yu knew, the most lethal for a boy in his twenties was probably Meng Yao.

Mo Yongxin is also very beautiful. But her cold and noble temperament made these young boys retreat, and they didn't dare to think too much, as for Leng Rou. The fiery figure makes those innocent little boys only dare to YY in their hearts. Only Meng Yao, with a pure and beautiful face, plus that sweet smile. It's the favorite type of boys in their twenties, just like the girl next door.

"Huh!"

After Qin Yu coughed a few times, the young man also knew his gaffe, blushed, and walked to the side, Qin Yu continued to look around, and suddenly, his eyes were fixed on something, and he was softly surprised.

The direction of Qin Yu's gaze was the place where the boss had parked the tricycle before, and Qin Yu was walking towards this place at the moment, and his gaze fell on a gourd that had been blocked by the tricycle before.

This gourd is more than an inch high, was pierced by a wire gourd mouth, the wire was knocked into the wall next to the door, look at the appearance of the gourd, has been a little decolorized, obviously hanging outside the time is not short, soaked in wind and rain.

Qin Yu squatted down and flicked a few times on the belly of the gourd with his hand, and there were a few muffled sounds, hearing this muffled sound, Qin Yu's brows furrowed, generally after the gourd was hollowed out, the sound was relatively crisp, and it would not be as dull as this sound.

Pointing his eyes to the mouth of the gourd, Qin Yu looked into the gourd's belly, and could vaguely see a black thing, but unfortunately the mouth of the gourd was smaller, and Qin Yu's eyes were opposed, almost covering all the light, and he couldn't see what it was.

Qin Yu shook the gourd with his hand again, without any sound, it seemed that the black thing in the gourd was fixed at the bottom of the gourd.

"Qin Yu, what are you doing?" Meng Yao looked back and saw Qin Yu squatting down to study a gourd at the door, and asked suspiciously.

"Hehe, it's nothing, I just think this gourd is pretty good. Qin Yu stood up, his eyes flickered, he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking, but then his eyes flashed a bright light, returned to calm, and said to the young man: "Little boss, why do you put a gourd in front of the store?"

"You said this gourd, this is when my grandfather was here, our shop has been in business for three generations, I remember it seems that when I was seven or eight years old, my grandfather hung this gourd on the wall at this door. ”

"You haven't touched this gourd for so long?"

"Just a gourd is nothing to be moved about, and it is not made of good materials, even a thief will not steal a broken gourd. The young man replied with a smile.

"Meng Yao, don't you want to plant flowers, look at how this gourd is, plant flowers in the gourd, so that you are not afraid that the cat at home will accidentally break it. ”

Qin Yu suddenly turned to Meng Yao and said, Meng Yao was stunned for a moment, but seeing Qin Yu winking at her with the young man behind his back, he knew that Qin Yu must have his purpose when he said this, so he nodded immediately and cooperated with Qin Yu's words, "Yes, this gourd is really just right." ”

"When the time comes, ask the boss and ask him to send this gourd to us, such a big gourd is going to dig for a while, and it is really difficult to dig. Qin Yu said casually, and then stopped mentioning it, and continued to look at other things in the store.

When the young man heard Qin Yu and Meng Yao's words, he didn't care, and continued to look down at his book, while Meng Fang looked at the fox thoughtfully.

"A few bosses, I've been waiting for a long time, here are two hundred pairs of twenty catties of candles. ”

The owner of the shop came back on the tricycle, panting and said, the tricycle is full of candles, two hundred pairs of twenty pounds of candles is four thousand catties, no wonder the boss is sweating profusely.

"After a while, we had to trouble the boss to help us transport these candles to the street entrance, where our car was parked and we couldn't get in. ”

"Yes, yes. The boss smiled and took the money handed over by Qin Yu, two hundred pairs of twenty catties of candles and five thousand yuan, this business can earn more than three thousand yuan except for the purchase price, which is very good, not to mention helping to deliver it to the street, even if it is delivered to the door.

Under normal circumstances, twenty catties of candles are sold for eighteen yuan a pair, and his purchase cost is about eight yuan, just he casually opened a pair of twenty-five yuan, this young man did not make a counteroffer, it seems that he really does not know the market of this candle, at this moment the boss regrets that the price is low, and he knows that the price of Lu Dao is thirty-one pairs.

"Oh, by the way, boss, there is something to discuss with you, my girlfriend likes to raise flowers, but there is a cat at home, when I used to raise flowers, the cat often broke the vase, I see that the gourd at your door is quite big, so give it to us to raise flowers." After settling the account, Qin Yu said to the boss casually.

"Hulu?"

The boss listened to Qin Yu's words, first looked at the gourd at the door, and then turned his eyes to the young man behind him, and the young man nodded slightly when he saw his father's inquiring gaze.

"This boss, this gourd was left by my father, it is said to have the effect of warding off evil spirits, hanging outside my store for so many years, nothing has happened in this store, and it cannot be sold. ”

"What is the evil spirit, the gourd still has this effect? I have never heard of it, what kind of society is it now, boss, you still believe in this set, you don't want to forget it, just a gourd, when the time comes, we will go to the flower and bird market to dig one, I just see that the size of your gourd is very suitable for planting flowers, and I don't want to waste time to run to the flower and bird market, I want to ask the boss you to send this gourd to us, a few people boss you are reluctant, then we don't want it. ”

Qin Yu smiled, looked indifferent, took Meng Yao's hand, and was about to walk towards the door, while walking, he said to Meng Fang on the side: "My girlfriend and I will go to the flower and bird market to buy gourds in a while, you put these candles on them, transport them to the temple, and tell the masters, there are only two hundred pairs of candles this month, and on the Buddha's birthday next month, I will donate some candle incense paper to them, so that they can help my grandfather pray for blessings."
