Chapter 27 The Great Mosque Holy Land of Mecca

Yang Qianxun finished cleaning up the residual tea cups in the office, threw the garbage bag into the trash can at the elevator entrance, returned to the office, and listened to Li Hao say: "After countless trips to the liberation of Yuanda Qinghai, I finally signed the contract!" The first time I picked up ten cars, you see, do you ask them, who wants to come first? ”

Yang Qianxun said: "Okay, I'll call and ask a few people over there first." ”

After saying that, I went to the side to make a phone call, and after a while, I walked back to the sofa and sat down and said: "The New Year is almost in a month, I asked the uncle in my hometown, he said that he wanted to come after the New Year, and asked my classmates, but he still hasn't answered me, he wants to ask his brother's friend who ordered the car first." ”

Liu Zhiyang said: "Also, when the time comes, take out the car, work for less than a month and the New Year, the mine is going to be on holiday, take the car and go home for the New Year, the car doesn't know where to park!" I'll tell those people to come back after the Chinese New Year. ”

Li Hao said, only someone from my side came, I called and asked. After that, I went to the side and made a phone call. After more than half an hour, he walked back and said, "Isn't it time for us to sign this contract?" There are not many people here who are willing to come here in the new year, so won't this batch of cars be picked up a year ago? ”

Liu Zhiyang said: "If you don't ask Yuanda, can you postpone the pick-up time to the next year?" ”

Li Hao said that it was not easy to say on the phone, so the two of us would go to Yuanda Qinghai for liberation and ask directly in person.

The two said hello to Yang Qianxun, went out of the office together, and went to the Yuanda branch.

Half an hour later, the two of them came back again, Yang Qianxun pondered the expressions of the two and asked, "How is it?" Is it possible to postpone the pick-up time? ”

Li Hao said: "Yes, Zheng Linlin said that they haven't made a plan yet, and they haven't reported it to the head office, so they will postpone it until after the Chinese New Year." ”

Yang Qianxun said: "I'm afraid that if I wait for another month after the New Year, I will delay things again!" ”

"When the time comes, we will warn them in advance that it should not be a big problem." Liu Zhiyang replied.

"If we don't pick up the car before the year, there won't be much to do in this more than a month, we have to plan, how to spend this time?" Li Hao said.

"My eagle dream! Postponed the time of high flying again! Liu Zhiyang said with a regretful sigh.

Yang Qianxun looked at him suspiciously, not understanding what he meant. Liu Zhiyang explained: "Don't you remember the story that Mr. Li told? Said that I am still a rabbit now, I want to spread my wings and fly high, to be an eagle in that tree, but now the conditions are limited, I can only rest first and wait for the opportunity! Yang Qianxun suddenly realized: "So you said this!" Ha ha! I remember when you said you were going to be that fox, and you changed it again? ”

Yang Qianxun took out his notebook and flipped through it and said: "After carving the official seal yesterday, and waiting for the official seal to come back, the next step is to apply for a tax registration certificate, I don't know whether to do national tax, but also to consult, and then it seems that I have to go to the Finance Bureau of the Economic Development Zone to apply for a financial certificate, which is said to be used for tax refunds in the future; Then there is the organization code certificate, which needs to go to the Chengxi District Technical Supervision Bureau. The rest is not there for the time being. ”

Li Hao listened to what she said, nodded and said: "It's okay, take this opportunity to make all the management systems, publish recruitment advertisements on the Internet, recruit big car drivers, recruit more, go to work after the New Year, and make some propaganda advertisements, the kind of printed leaflets, we can go out to the parking lot in Xining when we are free, and walk around the Tianjun Coal Mine, send advertisements, see if there is anyone here who is willing to follow us to do it?" Finally, we will go to all parts of Qinghai, not necessarily only in the Muli Coal Mine to pull coal, but we will also look for other mines to see if there is a place where we need big trucks, and we can talk about it first. ”

Liu Zhiyang said in surprise: "Do you think there is nothing wrong?" Isn't that a lot going on? In the eyes of the leader, there is life! ”

Yang Qianxun packed up his things and yelled at Liu Zhiyang: "Don't be poor Mr. Liu, it's time to go home for dinner." Let's go grocery shopping first, shall we? ”

The three of them closed the office door, walked out of the office building together, and drove to the nearby vegetable market.

The work is proceeding as planned, albeit at a much slower pace than before. Since the job advertisement was posted, there have been truck drivers approaching the company for interviews every day, and Liu Zhiyang is mainly responsible for the interview. In the past ten days, forty or fifty people have been recorded in Liu Zhiyang's notebook. Yang Qianxun's handling of various licenses has also ended, and at the end of this month, it is time to file tax statements, Yang Qianxun proposed to find an accounting company to do finance for them part-time, because she is really not an expert in financial work. When I was in school, math was the worst subject, and in Chihiro's words, "I feel dizzy when I see those numbers!" "I can barely cope with the small accounts, but if I put all the financial work of a company on her, I can't bear it. After deliberation, the three agreed to this decision.

Through the introduction of the company that used to make the capital verification report, Honghao Logistics found an accountant to do part-time work, and went to the company twice a month to do the company's accounting accounts.

One Friday night at dinner, Li Hao asked Yang Qianxun and Liu Zhiyang: "Let's rest tomorrow and go out to play?" I've been here for so long, I've been busy, and I haven't gone out for a walk. ”

Liu Zhiyang asked, "Where to go?" ”

Yang Qianxun said: "I haven't been to the museum in Qinghai yet, but I can also go to see the martyr's cemetery in Phoenix Mountain?" ”

Liu Zhiyang shook his head and said, "How strange is your idea?" That's fun, isn't it? How do I feel like I'm going to visit or pay homage? ”

Li Hao also smiled and said: "Qianhiro, don't go to the museum for the time being, neither of us has this hobby, why don't we go to Qinghai Lake Sun Moon Mountain?" I was in a hurry last time, and I didn't have time to see it, so I left early tomorrow and returned on the same day. ”

Yang Qianxun shook his head: "No, no, don't go, this weather goes to Qinghai Lake, it's too cold, we have to pass there often when we go to the mine next year, there is no need to go there." ”

Liu Zhiyang tilted his head while eating the bowl and thought, "Is there anything else near Xining that can be seen?" Or, I'll let that fellow from the National University come along, and let's go to see Ma Bufang's Mansion again, right? When they came to play that night, I listened to them and felt that I was too sloppy to look good last time. And then go to the Great Mosque, how about it? ”

Li Hao looked at Yang Qianxun, and the two agreed. Liu Zhiyang immediately took out his mobile phone to call: "Hello, is it Zhu Lili?" I'm Liu Zhiyang, remember me, right? ”

Yang Qianxun said loudly on the side: "Hey! Xiaoli! ”

Li Hao said with a smile on the side: "Maybe Xiao Liu can achieve a good story in the world here!" ”

Liu Zhiyang hung up the phone and said, "Let's not joke first, the little girl is very quiet and simple at first glance, and I'm afraid that people won't be able to stand it if they joke in person!" ”

The next morning, I picked up Zhu Lili at the gate of Minzu University, and the four of them went to Ma Bufang's Mansion again, this time under Zhu Lili's introduction, the three of them looked very seriously. When we were eating together at noon, Li Hao asked, "Xiao Zhu, I don't know if Han Ming can enter the big mosque on Dongguan Street?" ”

Zhu Lili said: "If it is not during the worship service, you can go in, and there are many tour groups to visit. After eating, Zhu Lili was sent back to school, and the three of them went back to their lodgings to rest, and then drove to the Grand Mosque. The Great Mosque of Dongguan is one of the four major mosques in the Northwest Territory. It was built in the Jingyou period of the Song Dynasty, and has a history of more than 900 years, and is an Islamic building integrating towers, walls and shops. It has been rebuilt and expanded many times throughout history. The temple includes the mountain gate facing the street (the first three gates), the front courtyard is paved with bluestone slabs, the European-style heavy gate (the middle five gates), and two European-style Chinese-style hexagonal minarets; The courtyards inside are paved with green bricks. Ancient buildings such as the classical north and south wings, the worship hall and the northwest corner transept. It covers an area of 1,102 square meters, with a total construction area of more than 6,000 square meters. The temple has both classical, European, Arabic and other architectural styles, peculiar and magnificent, elegant and harmonious, is a beautiful scenery in the ancient city of Xining. More than 7,000 people come to worship here every day, more than 20,000 on Fridays, and more than 100,000 on festivals. In 1988, the Dongguan Grand Mosque was listed by the Islamic Association of China as the mosque with the largest number of worshippers in the country. Dongguan Grand Mosque is the highest institution of Islamic scripture research, and is the largest and most well-preserved ancient building complex in Xining.

Li Hao and the three of them walked in from the gate, and saw a large number of people gathered at the entrance of the worship hall, Li Hao hurriedly called Yang and Liu to lean over, it turned out to be some tourists from Singapore, who were surrounding a scholar from the mosque in the middle, listening to him introduce the Grand Mosque and Islam. The scholar was very young, fluent in speech, and spoke vividly, and Yang Qianxun was also attracted by his explanation, standing on the side and listening seriously. After listening to the scholars, I learned that Islam prays five times a day, and that the Allah they believe in has no portraits or statues, and they never burn incense. There are also two mid-prayers and one prostration. According to scholars, during the worship and festivals, the entire Grand Mosque is full of people kneeling, up to 30,000 to 30,000 at the most, and the police are needed to maintain traffic order.

Speaking of the taboo of pork in Islam, the scholar said: "Islamists do not eat pork because our wise Allah has a clear rule in the Qur'an, in which pork is the third taboo for Islamists. The Qur'an considers pigs to be extremely filthy animals, because the pigsty in which they live is very dirty, and the pigs stay in it all day long, and their feces are glued all day long, which is very disgusting, and it is well known that all garbage, waste and filth are the most delicious and greedy food for pigs. So Allah considers pigs unclean and cannot be eaten. Li Shizhen also pointed out: Nanfeng is also a pig, with a thick flavor and strong juice, and its poison is still very strong. Sun Simiao said: Eating pig meat makes people have fewer children, suffer from chronic diseases, and have broken tendons and pain. Modern medicine has also confirmed that eating pork is very harmful in many regions, especially in the tropics, and scientific experiments have confirmed that eating pork is one of the causes of many deadly parasites. You see, our Allah left us this teaching more than 1,400 years ago! Little does anyone know that science will reveal to us tomorrow more of the mysteries of the universe than we know today about these forbidden foods. For Allah sent His Messenger to show that His judgment is very credible. After listening to the scholar's lecture, under his guidance, the three of them also entered the side hall with those visitors, and the scholar sold two things inside, one is a small bottle of perfume made by the mosque, open the cap, the fragrance is overflowing, giving people a very comfortable taste, a bottle of fifteen yuan. After the scholar introduced, the tourists bought one after another, sold the perfume, and introduced the Quran, Yang Qianxun saw that he only cared about selling books, and no longer introduced, so he pulled Li and Liu out of the side hall. The three of them walked to the door of the prayer hall and looked inside, the golden and splendid hall seemed empty and far away, from the door to the inside, there were rows of clean worship mats, and all worshippers had to take off their shoes before entering the main hall. Liu Zhiyang was just about to walk in, but a disciple with a little white hat next to him stopped him and said, "Are you a Muslim?" If not, please don't go in. ”

The three of them circled around the Great Mosque and entered a shop at the gate that specialized in halal items. A large picture attracted Yang Qianxun's attention, and when he walked in, it turned out that the crowded place was actually Mecca, a holy place for halal pilgrimages. Li Hao also walked to the edge of the picture and admired it with Yang Qianxun.

"It is said that believers in Islam must go to Mecca once in their lives to make a pilgrimage, I don't know if you have read a book "The Funeral of a Muslim", which begins with an old man with a child who went on a pilgrimage to Mecca on foot, and then the child fell in love with Zhuoyu and stayed halfway." Yang Qianxun introduced to Li Hao the knowledge he had previously acquired about Islam.

"How about going to Mecca once in the future when we have the money and the time?" Li Hao asked.

"We are not Muslims, so how can we enter the pilgrimage church?"

"Just go and see, you see in this picture, this person has three layers inside and three layers outside, many of them can't get inside, as long as you go to Mecca with a pious heart and participate in the worship services there, you should be considered going."

Liu Zhiyang shouted on the side: "Sister, there is also that kind of perfume sold here, do you want it?" ”

Yang Qianxun walked to the counter, pointed to the small bottle of perfume recommended by the scholar in the temple, and asked the boss: "How much is a bottle of this perfume?" ”

"Fifteen dollars a bottle."

"Do you sell two bottles for fifteen yuan?"

"Okay, listen to what you just said about the knowledge of Islam, thank you for your respect for us, and I will sell it to you."

Yang Qianxun smiled and took out fifteen yuan, gave it to the shopkeeper, and asked him again: "Boss, have you ever been to the holy land of Mecca?" ”

"No, but I always have to go once."

Liu Zhiyang had no choice but to retract his feet, and the three of them looked at the door for a while, and continued to visit elsewhere. It is precisely because we don't understand religion that we don't understand it, and we think it's mysterious. And the fact that a belief can penetrate into the hearts of the people is also the result of historical development. During the visit to the Grand Mosque, Yang Qianxun believes that the religion that can be passed down for a long time is worthy of respect, and those who have religious beliefs are especially worthy of respect.
