Chapter 417: Delivery
"Then your wife will ask a Queen Buddha of Namphaya to try it, but I don't dare to guarantee that it will be 100% effective, after all, this thing is blessed by the Dharma, and each person's popularity and blessings are different, and the degree of influence by the Dharma is also large and small, so you have to talk about it in advance. I replied. Uncle Gong began to hesitate again, saying that if it really didn't work, it wouldn't be in vain.
I asked, "How much did you spend on worshipping the Buddha and burning incense and inviting Buddha pieces in the major temples over the years? For example, you spend a hundred dollars on ten kitchen knives, and each one doesn't feel sharp, and it doesn't take long for it to be dull. If you buy an expensive one for a hundred dollars, but you can use it for a few years, which is more worthwhile?"
Uncle Gong said: "I understand this truth, but if it doesn't work, isn't my 4,000 yuan in vain?" I said that anyone who invites Thai Buddha cards is to solve problems that cannot be solved by conventional methods, such as what you said has a conflict with your son, have you tried your best over the years, if you can solve it, you still need to come to me, and it will be fine for a long time.
"Well, that's right...... Then I'll try?" Uncle Gong sighed, "That's 4,000 yuan, up to my monthly salary!" "I said that your family of three all depends on your salary of more than 1,000 yuan, and you can't even eat, how did you come here?" Uncle Gong said that his wife set up a small stall and sold pancakes and fruits at the intersection of the community. I thought to myself that this is really tight enough, so I said that you can make do with it, since the family is so poor, and if there is a conflict with your son, you can bear it, and it will not be so that he will beat and scold you, and every family has a difficult scripture.
Uncle Gong said: "No, we have to solve it now, otherwise we will ...... "I didn't want to persuade him anymore, so I asked him to pool the money and hung up.
I didn't have any interest in talking about this customer, and I remembered the fourth article recorded in the book, and called Mr. Li in Jiangsu, but still no one answered, so I had to send a text message, saying that it was Ma Zhuang's friend, who opened a Buddhist brand shop in Beijing, please take the time to text me back or call. Walking to the door and stretching my waist, I smiled and said to Luo Li: "My Buddhist card business is getting better and better, and even the workers and uncles in Huludao have asked me for a card." ”
Luo Li said: "Well, how powerful Boss Tian is, in the future, not only the old uncle, but also the young girls will be more." I couldn't help but laugh and wasn't angry at her sarcasm. When Luo Li saw that I was still smiling, she was even more upset and snorted and walked into the bedroom. I texted Ma Zhuang and asked how Luo Li usually mentioned her relationship with me with him, and she had a very bad attitude towards me in the past two days.
Ma Zhuang replied: "Brother Tian, are you really confused or pretending to be confused?
I asked, "What's a good way?" What did she tell you?"
Ma Zhuang replied: "I was in your store the day before yesterday, and my cousin said that you have a good relationship in Thailand, a Thai woman, a teacher who teaches Chinese, and said that you both slept together." "I know what I know, but what about other things, such as what she says about me, or whether she says anything about my relationship and thoughts.
"I really haven't said it, I asked my cousin if you and you live together, and she said no. I asked you if you two were considered a partner, and she said no. Ma Zhuang replied. I sat in the rest area and began to think about it seriously, I like Luo Li a lot, but maybe I am too familiar with it since I was a child, and I don't have the emotional spark between men and women, so I always feel that the foundation is not strong. In my impression, looking for a partner should be the kind of person who likes it at first sight, and only when you get along with it will you have passion in the future, otherwise you will be like an old husband and wife before you start, how boring it is. Coupled with Luo Li's fiery temper, she took it seriously, and didn't let me kneel durian when I was angry.
A few days later, Uncle Gong called me and said that he had borrowed 4,000 yuan from Lao Chen's third daughter, and planned to buy the Nampaya Queen Buddha card I said, and because he couldn't go out, he asked me if I could send it over. I said, "You don't need to send it, you can express it, and the postage in the province is only a few dollars, and it's convenient." ”
Uncle Gong was a little embarrassed: "We are all old, and our memory is not good, I hope you can come and tell us how to use it in person, otherwise you send it first, I'm afraid I will forget to pay again." "I can't help laughing, after all, this old man eats more salt than me, don't look at the Buddha card doesn't understand, but the heart is still there. He obviously just wanted to have money and goods in one hand, and he knew that I would not accept the goods first and then collect the goods, so he said so. Although I have never been to Huludao, I know that in the south of Shenyang, from Beijing to Shenyang in the past, it must be closer than Shenyang, and the train ticket is more than 100 round-trips.
So, I told Uncle Gong that you can send it, but you must pay a deposit of 500 yuan first, otherwise I will go all the way, for some reason you regret not wanting to invite, I not only take the fare, but also the time. Uncle Gong said: "That's not possible! We're not this kind of person, you have to believe me, eldest nephew." ”
"It's not that we don't believe it, it's our dealer's rules, and we can't send it first. I said, "Five hundred dollars is not much, and if you don't believe me, then you can't help it." All the card dealers have this rule, many of them are the first payment after the goods, and it has to be the full amount, if it is not for the sake of the Queen Buddha of Nampaya, I also have to accept your full payment. ”
Uncle Gong said: "Since the Buddha card you said is easy to get rid of, then don't take a deposit, even if I don't want it, you can't smash it." "I said that's not good, at least I'm going to take a full day, at most two days, and if I sell a Buddhist card in the store in these two days, I can make at least one or two thousand. Speaking of which, Uncle Gong had no choice but to agree, asked for my bank account number, and remitted 500 yuan.
My side immediately asked Luo Li to buy five or six Buddha cards in the name of the Buddha card shop, including the Queen Buddha of Nampaya in Luang Po Sakong, urging Kaohsiung to ship the goods as soon as possible, and some customers want it. Kaohsiung took two days to collect all the goods, asked the stewardess to take them to Beijing Airport, I took the subway and taxi to get all the Buddha cards back, told Uncle Gong the itinerary, and booked a train ticket on Saturday to go to Huludao. The five or six hours journey was very boring, which made me confused for three sleeps, and when I arrived at the place, I came to his house according to the address given by Uncle Gong. This is an ordinary old relocation community, how can it be more than ten years, Uncle Gong told me before, don't ask the neighbors, don't want people to know about it. The neighbors in this neighborhood have long ears and like to inquire.
The address is easy to find, I didn't need to inquire to find it, knocked on the door of the Gong family and came in, the old couple were at home, and hurriedly let me into the house. The furnishings in the house are old and messy, still in the style of decoration from the nineties, and the doors, wardrobes and corner compartments are the whole kind. The old-fashioned two-bedroom layout, with no living room, and a small square table against the kitchen wall with a few plates of leftovers, black and smelling of miso sauce. The old couple were wearing very old clothes, it was early spring, the house was quite cold, they were wearing dark old cotton jackets and trousers, and their faces were not very healthy, as if they had been malnourished for many years.
