Eleven Niang immediately took the fourth lady's hand and said, "Fourth sister, there are other bracelets here, why don't you look at them again? Maybe there are better ones! Let's wait for the shopkeeper to introduce them before deciding which string to buy?"
Hearing what Eleven Niang said, Siniang couldn't help but feel like she wanted to take this bracelet away immediately, and said, "Okay." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Hearing what the two sisters said, Shopkeeper Wu cast an exploratory eye to Eleven Niang.
Eleven Niang pretended not to see it, and said to the shopkeeper Wu: "Shopkeeper, you can introduce me to the others." ”
When the shopkeeper Wu heard this, he immediately picked up one of them and said: "Guest officer, look, this is the Admiralty Bodhi Seed, according to legend, it is made of a treasure tree in the place of the Medicine King Bodhisattva.
Eleven Niang doesn't need to smell it to know that this Admiralty Bodhi seed is not the seed of the eucalyptus tree, of course there will be a fragrance.
After a lot of chaos, the fourth lady was so fooled that she wanted to buy it again, but unfortunately she almost jumped up after hearing the price: "Shopkeeper, how can this be so expensive?"
Shi Niang silently counted it, and there were only 13 golden bell bodhi seeds, but they were priced at 20 taels of silver by Wu's shopkeeper.
Shopkeeper Wu shook his head with a smile and said, "Guest officer, this Bodhi seed is not produced in my country, but brought back from overseas by a businessman, and it has medicinal functions, so I don't think it's expensive at all." ”
"But, for me, it's still too expensive-" Although she wanted to buy it, all her private money added up to 50 taels, so the fourth lady still held back and slowly put the Admiralty Bodhi back.
Seeing the shy expression in the fourth lady's bag, the shopkeeper Wu did not show a look of contempt, but enthusiastically picked up a string of black Bodhi seeds to introduce, saying that this is Nan Wu Bodhi, Eleven Niang looked at it, isn't this a soap child?
After an introduction by the shopkeeper Wu, this soapberry Bodhi, no, Nan no Bodhi seed, 16 pieces of bracelets sold for 1 tael, and 108 pieces of Buddha skewers sold for 10 taels.
Ha, Eleven Niang chuckled in her heart, one day she was going to ask Mama Li to go to the pharmacy to inquire about how much this soapberry is a catty, and see if the 10 taels of silver can buy it for 100 catties and come back.
Then the other strings are ingots Bodhi, Mani Bodhi, Moon Bodhi, Dragon Thorn Bodhi, Tianzhu Bodhi, no leak Bodhi, Longyan Bodhi, the price of the bracelet is between 5-30 taels, and the price of the Buddha string is between 10-100 taels.
The price of the Buddha string is too high, and the two sisters can't afford it, so Siniang can only pay attention to the bracelet, hesitate to hesitate, and finally pick a string of fairy peach Bodhi bracelets for their own use, and a string of Tianzhu Bodhi bracelets are intended to be made as gifts for Mrs. Xu.
After Siniang finished picking, seeing that Eleven Niang had not moved, Siniang looked at her suspiciously.
Eleven Niang gave her a slightly calming expression, and asked the shopkeeper Wu: "Shopkeeper, don't you have a Vajra Bodhi here?"
Shopkeeper Wu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said to Eleven Niang: "It seems that the guest officer is a high-sighted person, Jingang Bodhi is the most expensive Bodhi, our small shop originally had a few strings, but unfortunately it was bought a few days ago, and the guest officer wanted it, so he could only wait for the next delivery from Fucheng." ”
"Oh, expensive, how much does that cost?" said Eleven Niang, looking interested.
Shopkeeper Wu did not directly say the price at first, but introduced: "This Vajra Bodhi, but it grew up in the place where the Buddha preached and preached, and even when the Buddha was seated, it was under a Vajra Bodhi tree, so the Vajra Bodhi is the most sacred Bodhi in Buddhism, this price is naturally a little more expensive, 18 bracelets are about this number-" Speaking of this, the shopkeeper Wu stretched out a finger, and then continued: "108 Buddha strings are about this number-" and then stretched out five fingers.
Seeing the gesture of the shopkeeper Wu, everyone else gasped, a string of one hundred taels can buy a two-entry house in Shangyuan County!
Shopkeeper Wu retracted his finger and said with a sign smile to them: "Although the price is high, but it is also in short supply, my store originally only had five strings, but seven days ago, it was bought by a family in the county, but the goods in Fucheng should be delivered tomorrow, if the young lady wants to buy it, come back the day after tomorrow, and it should be in stock." ”
Eleven Niang said in her heart Fortunately, you don't have the goods, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get off the stage?
And he said, "That's all, there's no other kind?"
Shopkeeper Wu was stunned after hearing this, and then arched his hand and said: "Guest officer, the Bodhi that has been sold in the Buddha Yuan Pavilion for five years, except for Vajra Bodhi, all the Bodhi of this Great Chu Country are here." ”
"Oh, okay. Eleven Niang said casually, then picked up Nan Wu Bodhi on the tray and said: "The family is strictly controlled, and the elders may not allow me to go out tomorrow, the shopkeeper, I still buy this string, help me wrap it." ”
Shopkeeper Wu hurriedly took it over and asked the guys to pack it, and then sent their group out of the door.
After shopping, the two sisters left the Buddha Pavilion together and got into the carriage of the Xu Mansion to prepare to go home.
In the carriage, Siniang couldn't wait to put on the string of fairy peach bodhi seeds, and asked Eleven Niang excitedly: "Sister, you say, will I dream of the Queen Mother at night?"
Eleven Niang couldn't bear to tell her that she had been deceived, so she had to say perfunctorily: "It depends on fate, fate has arrived, maybe you can dream of it tonight-"
The shopkeeper is so powerful, he said that others can dream of it, but he can't dream of it, so if he can't dream of it when he buys it back, he can only blame himself for not having a chance with the peach banquet.
Siniang is still showing off the string of Bodhi, but Eleven Niang is sitting in the carriage but thinking, it turns out that no one in this world has found Lotus Bodhi.
In her previous life, she loved to search for treasures in the alleys when she was in college, and once she found a thousand-eyed Bodhi, and since then she has been obsessed with this kind of thing, and later not only the thousand-eyed Bodhi, she also bought other kinds of Bodhi, among which the favorite is the lotus Bodhi.
In Bodhi, the most mysterious is the lotus Bodhi, because this thing is not only scarce, but also from a mysterious source, even many merchants themselves do not know how this thing came from, it is said that Bodhi is the seed or fruit of a certain type of plant, but almost no one knows what kind of plant it comes from, after nearly a year of research, there is no way to ask for help from the brother, the result of the brother is not clear, and finally there is no way, the brother actually bought the only factory specializing in the processing of lotus Bodhi at a high price, only to know that it comes from the core of a unique sour jujube on the Taihang Mountain, after knowing the truth, the early summer almost did not laugh to death, and that factory, my brother has never been able to sell it at a suitable price, and this should be the only loss-making business that her all-powerful brother has done.
Today's trip is quite a big harvest, at least I know that there are people doing Bodhi business in this era, the point is that people here believe in Buddhism, which means that the market is vast. You must know that after the education of Marxism-Leninism in later generations, there are still so many people who believe in various religions, and almost all the people here believe in Buddhism and Taoism.
Thinking of this, Eleven Niang suddenly became very happy, and felt that the money was full of light!
