Huang Tianba led everyone here and got off the horse to take a look, and couldn't help laughing: "I have long heard that the transaction of ten thousand surnames five times a month in front of Xiangguo Temple is not lively, and now it seems that what I said is true." ”

Luda also said: "It's good, the people have benefited, and the Bodhisattvas in the temple have rejoiced when they get incense, but it's just that the brothers and nephews of the Sprinkle family are tired!" ”

Huang Tianba didn't answer him, so he asked, "How to go to the Xiangji Kitchen?" ”

Luda pointed to a long row of houses next to the front gate of Xiangguo Temple, and said with a smile: "Here it is!" ”

The group was about to step forward, but saw a young monk wearing a shabby toner baina robe suddenly waved out of a food stall on the side of the road.

I saw him run to Luda and said, "Uncle Shi! Uncle Zhishen, the first uncle was about to go to the monk to find his uncle! ”

Luda said: "The first one is to find a house to be a bird? ”

The young monk hurriedly said: "Uncle Shi doesn't know, the Guo family has already come to settle the matter, and there is no need for Uncle Shi to get the knife ghost Cao Zheng again." ”

Luda said: "Sprinkle the family!" Now the Sprinkle family is also here to make trouble, so let's go to see the first seat! ”

and Huang Tianba said: "This monk's name is called Ziwu, it is the nephew of the Sprinkle family in Tokyo, when the Sprinkle family first arrived in Tokyo, he was sent by the host to guard the vegetable garden outside the sour jujube door, thanks to the help of Ziwu, this is to find an errand in the Xiangji kitchen." ”

Huang Tianba heard that Ben had some questions, but he wanted to stop talking, and immediately accompanied Luda to the Xiangji Kitchen.

This incense soup kitchen is originally the temple monk's hall, and its name is derived from the "Vimala Sutra". It is said that Vimalaya was sick, and the Buddha sent his disciples to visit him, and Vimalaya took the opportunity to preach Mahayana Buddhism. Near noon, Sariputta, a disciple of the Buddha, had an idea of how to eat, and after perceiving it, Vimalaya scolded him, saying, "You are seeking liberation, how can you never forget to eat?" Since you want to eat, I'll give you a meal you've never eaten before. Later, with his supernatural powers, Vimalaya went to the distant country of Xiangji Buddha and asked for a bowl of fragrant rice from Xiangji Buddha, and the fragrant and clear fragrance of rice permeated the whole city.

Since then, the monastery has named the kitchen as the Xiang Ji Kitchen, hoping that the disciples will be enlightened by the fragrance of rice.

As for the incense kitchen of Daxiangguo Temple, it is divided into inside and outside, and the inner incense kitchen is located on the side of the Daxiong Treasure Hall in the temple, which is the place where the monks in the temple use their fast normally. However, the outer incense kitchen is on the side of the mountain gate, and it is also a place to accumulate goodness.

As for what Luda is doing now, it's not a bad thing, but Huang Tianba misunderstood it before. Luda mixed into Buddhism, his own martial arts are good, of course, he pretended to be a warrior monk, and Cao Zheng's matter, the reason is that he borrowed the money of the main family to go out to do business but folded the capital, and then hid in the imperial boxing gym to escape debts, so the master promised the sesame oil money of the incense kitchen, and it was not wrong to ask the monks in the temple to take people.

It must be known that this Royal Boxing Gym is not an ordinary place, with today's rules of the rivers and lakes, if the people in the rivers and lakes can hide in the Royal Boxing Gym and get shelter, he has to come out himself to take him, otherwise it is useless to report to Kaifeng Mansion.

It is only said that Huang Tianba accompanied Luda to the Xiangji Kitchen outside the mountain gate, and sent the horse to the horse in front of the Xiangguo Temple (similar to the parking brother), and then walked to the Xiangji Kitchen, only to see that even the private houses were all opened, and the tables and chairs inside looked like a dining hall, Luda walked in with a big grin, and shouted to a fat monk who was picking vegetables at the table: "The first seat, the Sprinkle family is back!" ”

The fat monk has a fat head and big ears, but he also has the appearance of Maitreya Buddha, and when he saw Luda, he hurriedly put down the vegetables in his hand, and hurriedly got up and said: "It's good that the senior brother is back, and the Guo family, who invited the junior brother to act, has already come to eliminate the trouble, so the matter will be stopped!" However, the sesame oil money was given enough according to the agreement, and the senior brother took the red reward with the junior brother. ”

After speaking, he ran to the back hall with a body of fat, and when he came out again, he carried a bulging bag on his back, and handed it over to Luda with a happy face: "Mr. Guo is kind and charitable, and he has given sixty copper pieces, all of which are brand new fire copper Xiaoping, and here are fifteen pipes, all of which are the hard work of the junior and younger brothers." ”

Ruda took the arm and tried it, the feel is two pounds, this fire copper Xiaoping is also a pure copper Xiaoping money that has never been added to the tin, a full half a penny weight (about three grams or so), now the market in Tokyo is always able to exchange for 750 Wenping money, Therefore, the weight of these fifteen pounds is almost 60 catties (about 67.5 catties in later generations, and the volume of Song catties is slightly about 640 grams in later generations).

However, Luda glanced back at Huang Tianba, Huang Tianba was naturally carrying a bulging arm on his back, but it was not a gold coin of ten taels and one ingot, or a flying money of hundreds or thousands of dollars, and the arms of the two were in the same style, and the difference was big.

Besides, just now he also laughed at Huang Tianba's appearance of carrying his arms on his back, and now he is also carrying a bulging arm, but it contains fifteen yuan of money, isn't it a joke. Immediately, Luda put his arm on the table, but he was also respectful, and made a Buddhist ceremony with the first seat in a proper manner, and said: "The first senior brother, the Sprinkle family has encountered an opportunity today, I am afraid that I will leave the temple to practice. ”

The fat boss was stunned for a moment, and then he had time to look at Huang Tianba and the others who were standing in front of the door of the hall, and said a little confused: "Senior Brother Zhishen, do you really want to leave Xiangguo Temple?" ”

Ruda nodded, "Really! The Sprinkle family first came to the Xiangji Kitchen to eliminate the errand, and then went to resign to the host. ”

The first seat thought about it, so he also took the arm, said a little and then hurriedly ran back to the back hall, and soon saw him sweating profusely and carrying a much thinner arm back again, but handed the arm over and said: "Senior brother, there are only these silver taels in the back kitchen, so they will all be given to the junior brother to make a plate to wrap up!" ”

With the first seat in and out like this, the monks who were burning the fire and picking vegetables in the Xiangzhu kitchen were all shocked, and they also came up to send each other, and they looked like they were all sincere. Luda didn't talk nonsense, and after making a circle of thanks to everyone, he also walked out, but it also made Huang Tianba see that there were still many gang monks in the fat first seat who actually sent each other with tears, but he was also impressed by Luda's way of dealing with the world.

After leaving the Xiangji Kitchen, he entered the mountain gate, and on the way, Luda took twenty taels of silver and Ziwu said: "The silver money is with you, don't be greedy anymore." Keep it well, and after a few days, you will go out and marry your good friend, and it is better to be a lover than a monk. ”

Ziwu took the silver, and agreed with red eyes, but Huang Tianba smiled and said: "How can the monk talk, he will be a companion with me in the future, and he will still be circling in Tokyo City, and it is not life and death." Monk Ziwu, is twenty taels enough to marry a wife? ”

Ziwu didn't know the relationship between Luda and Huang Tianba, and after hearing it, he was also suspicious, but he was also busy saying: "Enough is enough!" The good friends of the poor monks are now setting up stalls in the market to sell soup cakes, and they also have a small amount of money, and the poor monks will return to the vulgar in a few days. ”

Huang Jie thought about it, and simply reached out and took out a small gold coin weighing five taels from his arm, and stuffed it to Ziwu: "The monk will be my companion in the future, and you are his familiar nephew, the so-called reunion is also fate, this little bit of heart is a congratulatory gift from me in advance!" ”

Na Ziwu was holding the gold bill, was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and looked directly at Luda, and Luda also shouted angrily: "Give it to you, and you will take it!" (To be continued.) )
