Before dawn the next day, Li He and the four got up early. There was no fatigue from peeling lotus seeds until midnight last night, and the four of them went down the mountain in good spirits.

Zhang Daoran then got up and was a little surprised to see the backs of the four people: "Money can make ghosts grind, and today Poor Dao really believes it." It's rich, and idlers can get up early......"

Sit cross-legged on the stone pier and begin the indispensable cultivation of each day. The same is true of the big dragon, coiled into a snake formation beside Zhang Daoran.

"Da Long, you are a mountain protection spirit beast of the Poor Dao Sanqingguan, not a pet, you will take out your majesty in the future......"

Seeing Dalong, Zhang Daoran was angry. Dalong has no majesty to protect the mountain spirit beast, and has completely become a pet dog. It's only been two days, and the four of Li He are no longer afraid of the big dragon, but they are familiar with the big dragon one by one, playing and touching the snake's head, and Zhang Ming even hangs the big dragon around his neck......

And the big dragon is like a pug, with his head cocked and waiting for a few people to feed him.

"From today on, Sanqingguan will no longer give you a grain of grain, and if you want to eat yourself, you will hunt for food...... Look at you, how fat are you now?"

Zhang Daoran looked at the big dragon for a while, and the big dragon cocked his head, not knowing if he understood it. Zhang Daoran also has a feeling of hating iron but not steel, Dalong is a mountain protection spirit animal, not a pet, not everyone can get close to each other.

It's just that this hope has turned into disappointment. It wasn't until the sky was dark and the purple qi was about to come to the east that Zhang Daoran began to cultivate.

Absorbing the purple qi from the east, Zhang Daoran stood up, and Dalong followed behind Zhang Daoran.

"Go, go... Go down the mountain to find food by yourself......"

Even with the kicks, Dalong seemed to realize Zhang Daoran's determination and climbed down the mountain, but he had to look back every time he climbed a certain distance.

Zhang Daoran didn't even look at it, went directly into the kitchen, and began to make breakfast.

Until eight or nine o'clock, Wang Bao went up the mountain: "Dao Chief, people have been found, is it time to start work?"

Zhang Daoran, who had just eaten breakfast, nodded: "Let's start work, and strive to collect all the lotus pods around within half a month......

"Dao Chief... Only three people came......"

Wang Bao was a little embarrassed and scratched his head: "Maybe they don't believe it, these people are all good at picking lotus, twenty or thirty catties a day, more than a hundred yuan a day, they are afraid that we won't be able to take it out." ”

"That's your notoriety, people are afraid that you will pay your debts, go and see it......"

Zhang Daoran knew the reason, turned around and walked down the mountain: "Actually, it's very simple, they received cash for two days in a row, and when their fame went out, there were more people......

Going down the mountain, Zhang Daoran saw that there were seven or eight people, who did not start work, but fed Dalong with steamed buns one by one, and Li He was spitting and talking next to him: "This beast is like a dog, as long as there is food, I will treat you as my father." It's only been two days since we've been up the mountain, and the dragon is already familiar with us, so you don't have to be afraid, try to touch it?"

Sure enough, a middle-aged woman mustered up the courage to touch Dalong, who lowered his head very much and looked at the steamed bun in the middle-aged woman's hand with a pair of eyes.

Zhang Daoran was angry, and looked at the big dragon angrily when he went down the mountain, thinking: "If this big dragon follows the monk, it will definitely be a monk python, but the poor Taoist does not accept alms......"

"Fushou Immeasurable Dao Venerable ......" raised his chest with one hand, Zhang Daoran said: "Lay people, the lotus canopy here is poor, all lay people can rest assured to peel lotus seeds, money is indispensable......

With Zhang Daoran's guarantee, seven or eight people rowed to the lotus bush and started working.

Perhaps driven by money, more than a dozen people came one after another, most of them middle-aged women.

Dalong shook his head, excited every time he saw someone. Zhang Daoran slipped the dragon and threw it into the water: "Go hunt yourself, otherwise don't come to the Taoist temple......"

Dalong seemed to feel Zhang Daoran's anger and dived into the water. But soon he floated up next to a villager, tilted his head, broke off a lotus canopy and put it on the villager's boat, shaking his head and staring at the dry food on the boat.

Zhang Daoran could only go up the mountain angrily, with some anger and a little comfort in his heart: "Dalong, this product should be smarter than before, out of the category of beasts...... knows how to please the person who feeds it...... It's just a bit embarrassing like this, this is the mountain protection spirit beast of the poor road......"

It's a good thing that Lingzhi is good, Zhang Daoran has expectations in his heart, and he no longer cares about Dalong.

At noon, Li He took a middle-aged man up the mountain: "Dao Chief, this is Boss Li who went out of Lizhuang Village......

"Boss Li, this is the master of Sanqing Guanguan, and we are the lotus ...... who contracted the Taoist."

Taoist Li He knew how to be a man, and knew that Zhang Daoran was not suitable to come forward, so he simply said that he had contracted the lotus pod here.

"Boss Li...... I hope it's not like Boss Li in a certain cartoon to be cunning......"

Zhang Daoran glanced at this Boss Li, he didn't look treacherous, but he looked honest. is not short, not much different from Zhang Daoran.

"Dao Chief, in fact, I went up the mountain to see the lotus seeds you peeled last night... Look at the color of the lotus seeds. ”

Before Zhang Daoran could speak, Boss Li said his purpose.

Zhang Daoran nodded: "Everything is contracted to Li He and Li Jushi, and the poor Dao will not ask......

Taking a deep look at Boss Li, Zhang Daoran began to read the Taoist scriptures under the old peach tree.

Li He took Boss Li to the kitchen: "The lotus seeds are full, almost the same as the best goods on the market, this time you can rest assured, besides, our lotus seeds are wild, not artificially cultivated......"

"Well, the condition is good, if the next goods are like this, I will buy it for thirty-two yuan a catty..."

"Deal, but Boss Li should settle the bill every day, we don't have cash on hand, so we can't pay the workers......"

"This is easy to say......"

Li He said goodbye to Boss Li and Zhang Daoran and went down the mountain, Zhang Daoran looked at Li He's back in front of the Taoist Temple: "There is a little bit of material for doing business, why don't you make good use of your talent and be a thief?"

Zhang Daoran sighed: "I hope that after this incident, you can really turn back ...... prodigal son."

In the next few days, Zhang Daoran did not go down the mountain, Dalong would only go up the mountain every night, and he began to go down the mountain in the morning, and he was full of food every day. Li He and Wang Bao also go up the mountain at night, and they jump with excitement every day after distributing the money.

"Taoism is not allowed to drink alcohol, and you still need to give five catties of lotus seeds to the poor Dao every day, and you must also give ...... every day."

Stopped Li He and a few people who wanted to drink, the Taoist temple is a sacred place, and you can't drink alcohol. Don't look at the New Year, every family must use good wine to worship the gods, in fact, the Taoist gods do not drink alcohol.

The Taoist temple can't drink, and a few people went down the mountain: "Dao Chief, let's go down the mountain to drink, the lotus seeds will be handed over, you can rest assured......"

If you have money, it's a big deal to spend your own money and pay your wages, and you can get five catties out every day.

"I know what you will do, and the poor road will deduct money when the time comes......"

Several people looked at each other and went down the mountain in a gloomy manner: "This Taoist leader, is it possible that he can peep at the mind?"
