Chapter 57: The Unconscious Consecration
"You brothers, the relationship is really good......"
Looking at the frolicking Fang Yi and them, Man Jun couldn't help sighing, he also had such a group of brothers back then, but the years have changed, everyone is busy making a living, and the contact between the old brothers is getting less and less.
Seeing Fang Yi and them playing at the moment, Man Jun also remembered when he was young, and couldn't help but think in his heart, he must find an opportunity to gather the old brothers together.
"By the way, Brother Man, I sold a lot of things today, can I report the account with you?" After the three guns left, Fang Yi opened his mouth and said, Originally, the goods of the Manchu army were given to them on credit, and if they didn't return the money after selling it, it would be a little too ignorant.
"What's the hurry, do you still need to worry about these with your brother Man?"
Man Jun waved his hand nonchalantly, those cultural toys were originally a backlog of things, and they couldn't be cashed out if they were put in his hands for a while, Man Jun took them out just for Fang Yi and them to practice, and he didn't expect to sell much.
"Brother Man, a favor is a favor, a business is a business, this brother still has to settle accounts...... Fang Yi shook his head with a smile, and took out a notebook, on which the three guns clearly recorded the items and prices of the sale.
"Brother Man, a total of ten strings of beads have been sold today, plus the carved pieces of poplar wood, I should give you 1,700 yuan, and the money is ready......" Fang Yi said and took out the money in the notebook.
Fang Yi and his brothers had already agreed, after settling the accounts every day, they had to settle accounts with the Manchu army, it should be someone else's money, it should be a penny, doing business is being a person, the Manchu army can trust them, and they can't do anything sorry for the Manchu army.
"Okay, I'll take the money......"
Man Jun knew that what Fang Yi said made sense, he was helping them instead of giving alms, otherwise wouldn't it be okay to give money directly, why bother giving things for them to sell, only under a certain amount of pressure, Fang Yi and they would work harder.
"Hey, no, the price of the beads for you is one hundred and one strings, plus the three hundred of the poplar wood, shouldn't it be one thousand three? How did it become one thousand seven?" Although he drank a little wine, the Manchu army's brain was still very good, and after a little calculation, he realized that he had taken four hundred more money than the account.
"Brother Man, there is a string of old red sandalwood ...... in the beads you gave us."
Fang Yi said a little embarrassed: "Our brothers have no experience, so we sold the old red sandalwood beads for five hundred yuan, according to the old brother Ma, it can be sold for at least one thousand and five, so we don't want this string of beads for money......"
Originally, a string of old beads was sold cheaply by Fang Yi and them, and they lost almost a thousand yuan before and after, Fang Yi and they were naturally embarrassed to take any more money from it, so the brothers discussed it and finally decided to give all the money for the string of beads to the Manchu army.
"Old red sandalwood beads?
Man Jun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and the goods he bought by himself were naturally very clear, although the batch of red sandalwood beads that came in at that time were also good or bad in quality, but they were all processed from new materials, and the difference was that some beads were oily and more Venus, but there was no material for old red sandalwood.
"It's an old bead, according to Lao Ma, I've been playing with it for at least ten years...... "The fat man interjected: "Brother Man, didn't you pay attention and put an old bead in that pile?"
"Probably, right?"
The Manchu army drank some wine, and he did not remember what happened a few years ago, and he bought a total of 100 strings of Xiaoye Zisandalwood's prayer beads, and he did not check them out one by one, maybe the seller at that time was confused.
"Whether it's the beads of the old red sandalwood or not, but I buy the goods according to ordinary materials, and I won't lose money if you sell them, let's count them according to a hundred......"
Man Jun counted out four hundred bills and put them on the table, and said: "This matter is settled, if you say more, Brother Man will be angry, okay, I will be drunk, so I will go to sleep first......"
Afraid that Fang Yi and them would refuse, after the Man Jun slapped the four hundred yuan on the table, he got up directly and went to the room.
To be honest, Fang Yi and the others sold so many strings today was already beyond the expectations of the Manchu army, if they could sell so many every day, it would not take two months for his inventory to be cleared, which would also have an income of tens of thousands for the Manchu army.
"Fat man, Brother Man is a good person, if something happens in the future, we must help him!" Looking at the back of Man Jun entering the room, Fang Yi turned his face and said to the fat man.
"That's as it should be, Brother Yi'er, we're not the kind of people who don't repay our kindness......"
The fat man nodded very seriously, he has lived in the city for more than half a year, and he has encountered white eyes everywhere, although this time it is stained with Fang Yi's light, but after a few days of getting along, the character of the Manchu army is indeed commendable.
"Let's go, clean up our things, let's sleep too......" Fang Yi got up and walked to the kitchen, those dishes and chopsticks were just collected and not washed, and they lived in someone else's house under the fence, Fang Yi naturally couldn't let the Manchu army clean up the next day.
That is, it took more than ten minutes, the two of them washed the dishes and chopsticks and went upstairs, the fat man originally wanted to pull Fang Yi to chat for a while, but Fang Yi said that he would get up early to do business tomorrow, which dispelled the fat man's idea, saying that now in the fat man's heart, there is nothing more important than setting up a stall to do business.
"Hongchen is really a good place to refine your heart......"
Fang Yi returned to his room, thinking back to what had happened today, Fang Yi found that the experience of this day was much more than what he had encountered in the mountains in the past ten years.
Whether it was a thief stealing money or the ancient director accepting bribes, these were often things that happened in the novels that Fang Yi had read, and now they all really appeared in his life, and this kind of dark side of society and human nature was something that Fang Yi could never experience in the mountains.
"The Tao is natural, let it be safe when you encounter it......"
Fang Yi took a long breath, sat cross-legged on the bed, and recited the Tao Te Ching in his mouth, which was a compulsory course before his daily rest, the more than 5,600 words of the Tao Te Ching were the origin of all the Tao Classics, and Fang Yi was familiar with the rolling melons on his back.
However, this time in the chanting, Fang Yi did not twist the string of old agarwood beads, but took the string of stars and moon Bodhi given by the Manchu army in his hand, and after each word, he would twist a bead, in Buddhism, this behavior is called blessing, which is commonly known as enlightenment.
It's just that Fang Yi, who closed his eyes and chanted the scriptures, didn't notice that with the action of twisting the beads, from the bottom of his mysterious sea of knowledge, a trace of gray mist overflowed, and after fusing with Fang Yi's dantian true qi, it swam along Fang Yi's meridians to the Bodhi beads twisted in his hand.
And just after Fang Yi twisted the one hundred and eight beads fifty-one times, just reciting the entire Tao Te Ching, Fang Yi, who entered the deep meditation, also did not find that the originally yellowed string of stars and moon Bodhi actually appeared a layer of slippery and gratifying, dark and quiet color.
