Chapter 475: Three-legged Golden Toad
One by one, the children in the village brought the garbage they had collected before. That garbage guy is overjoyed, this trip to Chujiazhai has gained a lot! Duck feathers alone, I'm afraid it's not less than a hundred catties, that's already a lot.
This is also due to the large number of tourists in Chujiazhai during this time, and it is because of them that the garbage in Chujiazhai has increased several times. Some families buy ducks to kill almost every other day, can there be not many duck feathers? Who doesn't have three or two pounds of duck feathers? There are a lot of bad slippers and the like.
In rural areas, there may be less waste paper because people rarely sell books. The elderly often teach their children not to sell books, otherwise they will not be able to read.
"Oops! Not enough money! The garbage guy took out the money and looked at it, and found that it was not enough to pay. This is the first time this has happened. That time he came out, it was enough for him to bring a few hundred yuan. You know, these are scrap products, how much can they be worth? Pull a cart away, that is, one or two hundred.
But today is different, I didn't expect there to be so many duck feathers, just these duck feathers, it will be almost two thousand. This time, it's hard for him, and he can't think of a good way to come out after thinking about it.
"Won't? How do you do business? "Suddenly there were people in the village who were dissatisfied. It's all called you, and you just said that you don't have enough money, what do you mean!
"Ahem! Excuse me! Such! It's not the first time I've come to your Chujiazhai to buy scrap products, in terms of reputation, I should be able to trust, I'll make up the money tomorrow, and now in front of the village chief, set up an IOU, how about it? The garbage guy didn't want to give up this batch of high-quality "garbage" like this, and even put forward the idea of making an IOU.
If this spreads, it will definitely be a big joke, collect a piece of garbage, and you can't even pay the money, is this reasonable? But now, there is no other way for the garbage guys. These duck feathers changed hands. It's a profit of thousands of dollars, who doesn't want to swallow it?
At this time, the villagers discussed two sentences and were ready to agree. In the countryside, everyone is more trusting. Moreover, this is indeed the case. This person came to Chujiazhai to collect garbage for more than ten or twenty years. It's impossible to cheat so many hundreds. Moreover, there are people in the village who know the address of this garbage guy, and they can escape the monk, but they can't escape the temple!
But at this moment, Zhou Furong suddenly looked at the garbage bag behind the garbage guy car and found a bronze vessel, which was a money biting toad.
"Uncle, can you show me the copper toad in your snakeskin bag?" Zhou Furong suddenly pointed to the inside of the snakeskin bag and said to the garbage guy.
Present. Many people know that this kid is playing antiques, but he didn't make a sound at this time. Although they don't know the rules of the antique shop, they also understand that if they open their mouths, it may affect their business.
Hear Zhou Furong's words. Hong Lao also looked there, and his eyes immediately lit up, it seemed that it was a good thing.
The garbage guy first glanced at Zhou Furong suspiciously, then turned it out without fear of dirt and handed it to Zhou Furong: "Then look! It's not worth much money anyway! ”
This man behaved very naturally, coupled with his previous performance. It can also be seen that he is not such a profiteer, and Zhou Furong was ready to put it at the lowest price, but at this time he changed his mind. If you eat meat by yourself, you have to keep a soup for others to drink.
The money toad, also known as the three-legged toad, is very common in the feng shui of the yang house to attract wealth. In the morning, the toad's head is facing out of the door, allowing the toad to bite the money outside; At night, turn your head inwards and let the toad put the money from the day's bite into the vault.
The golden toad, the best tool for prosperity and wealth, is a three-legged toad, which is not the same as what we see every day. Three feet, the back of the Big Dipper, two strings of copper coins in the mouth, two Tai Chi on the head, prosperous wealth and evil, can enhance the wealth of the people, so it belongs to the divine beast of prosperous wealth.
It is especially suitable for side doors, such as lotteries, stocks, casinos, etc., to avoid evil and money. Choose the right time and choose the right direction, and its effect is not certain. The purple sand toad is suitable for placing in the direction of the five elements of wood and earth.
"This toad is so strange, why is it only three legs? Who is so boring? Deliberately making such a prank? Someone spoke up right away.
Hong Lao explained: "This is called the three-legged golden toad, and the three-legged toad is called the toad, and it is said that it can spit out money and is a prosperous thing." There are a lot of shapes, generally for the three-legged toad sitting and squatting on the gold dollar, carrying a string of money, plump and fat, full of wealth and self-sufficiency, there is a beautiful implication of 'spitting treasure and making a fortune, and the source of wealth is extensive', so there is a saying among the folks: those who get the golden toad will be rich. If you place this object in your home or shop, you will surely be prosperous and rich. ”
"Uncle, I won't lie to you, this toad is a treasure, can you sell it to me for 5,000 yuan?" Zhou Furong said.
Hong Lao nodded with satisfaction, Zhou Furong didn't do anything wrong, he knew how to give others a bite to eat. He knew very well that if he were to change to someone else, he might give fifty yuan and send it away. However, Zhou Furong can still make a lot of money, this golden toad is a treasure in the Ming Dynasty, and once it changes hands, it may be hundreds of thousands.
The garbage guy was suddenly startled, and looked at the toad, and his heart was not at peace. After a while, he came back to his senses and nodded hurriedly: "Of course, I almost sold it as scrap copper." ”
He knew in his heart that if he really sold it like that, it would be a loss of five thousand oceans! In the countryside, this is not a good injury. Hearing this, Zhou Furong was even more embarrassed.
This time, the garbage guy finally has enough money to pay the bill, and there is still a lot of money left, and I don't know how happy I am.
After he left, the people present asked: "I heard that this thing is a magic weapon, and only feng shui guys want it, and you guys who play antiques also like it?" ”
"Huh! It can't be said that in fact, many magic artifacts are antiques themselves, and because they have an extra identity, they are often more valuable. Elder Hong explained to them.
"I just remember a story, what is it called Bangs Playing Jin Toad, is this it?" One of the tourists said curiously.
Zhou Furong nodded, Liu Hai was a Taoist priest in the early Song Dynasty, and later became an immortal, there is an auspicious painting called "Liu Hai sprinkling money", which depicts Liu Hai holding a string of money ropes and teasing Jin Toad. It is said that the golden toad is a three-legged toad, and those who get it are all very rich. Therefore, the golden toad is also regarded as a fortune mascot.
"Actually, there's another saying." Hong Lao smiled, and then told everyone about it with great interest.
It turned out that there was a toad spirit who liked to bite money, but he didn't know how to spend it when he bit it back, and he only knew how to bite off the money of that generation, and the families became very poor and became beggars.
Therefore, Taiyi Zhenren sued the Jade Emperor and asked to send someone to subdue this essence, and among the gods, only Xiao Yin of Han Xiangzi could subdue this toad. So the Jade Emperor sent Han Xiangzi down to the mortal demon, and when Han Xiangzi was blowing the flute, the toad essence would jump over and listen, and Han Xiangzi took advantage of his unpreparedness to catch the toad essence.
After Han Xiangzi subdued this toad essence, he divided the money he bit back from the poor, not afraid that the toad essence mana would become stronger and stronger, and he would not listen to the call in the future, so he broke off one of his hind feet, and it became a three-legged toad, and its intention was to hope that after the toad became a three-legged toad, it would be inconvenient to jump, and when it bit the money and went home, it would no longer want to run out.
