Chapter 41: White Charcoal Baked

Qianning Temple is an ancient temple, but it is also a small temple. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 According to one person, the history of Qianning Temple is much longer than that of Xiaojue Temple, but later with the construction of Xiaojue Temple, the incense here was cut off, and even the entire temple was abandoned.

Twenty years ago, Xiaojue Temple sent a monk to preside over the temple, so that the statue would not be abandoned and become a beast's lair. Master Duyuan came to Qianning Temple to preside over affairs, and also accepted two apprentices one after the other, so if you count it carefully, Qianning Temple should be a branch of Xiaojue Temple.

Qianning Temple is very small, there is no real sense of the bell and drum tower, Tibetan scripture pavilion and so on, in addition to the front of a Tianwang Palace, there are a few monks' rooms and fasting rooms in the back, plus a utility room, in fact, there is not even a place to take a normal morning class. There are not many buildings in Qianning Temple, but it covers a lot of area, except for some huge trees that hug together and then there are barren weeds, a messy scene.

In the courtyard behind the Tianwang Palace, there is a road on the central axis, with two monks' rooms on the west side, and a large fasting room and a large guest room on the east side. The fasting room is a place to prepare food, and the guest room is prepared for the monks who place orders, but this ancient temple in the mountains and fields, Du Yuan has practiced here for ten years and has not seen any monks come to place orders, so he asked one and the two of them to clean up and vacate it for Liu Yuanshan's family of three to live.

To be honest, for the fact that a mother and son are sleeping in one room, Liu Yuanshan is still quite repulsed in his heart, after all, there is a difference between men and women. Mom doesn't care, but sister...... She's not a sister, right?

However, under the eaves, it is a luxury to have a place to live to shelter the family from the wind and rain, what else can you ask for?

Liu Yanran looked excited, looked here and there, and found that Liu Yuanshan was in a daze, and asked, "San Lang, what do you want?" ā€

"I'm thinking, this house is small. When I get rich, I will definitely build a big house for my mother and you to live in. ā€

"I'm content to have a place to live, and what a big house to talk about." Liu didn't face Dong, and he spoke a lot, which made Liu Yuanshan feel that he was right to separate from his family.

The three of them tidied up the room together, just like when they were at home, the curtain was pulled open in the middle, and the big room was divided into two, and Liu Yanran and Liu's mother slept inside, and Liu Yuanshan slept outside.

Liu said: "Let's borrow to live here with the host master, and you two are usually diligent." I see that the temple is barren and grassy, and we will help clean it up tomorrow when we are free. After speaking, after thinking about it, you said to Yanran: "Yanran, tomorrow I will help host them to wash their clothes." ā€

"Yes!" Liu Yanran nodded.

Liu Yuanshan waved his hand and said: "Mother, don't be, I'll solve it when I go back, I can't let my sister wash the monks' clothes with a yellow flower, you listen to me about this." ā€

Not only did she not wash clothes in the temple, but she also had to build a house by herself when she had money, and living in the temple all the time had a bad impact on her sister's reputation. After all, Liu Yanran is a fifteen-year-old girl, and here in the Ming Dynasty, she can get married in another year or two, but she can't marry in the monk's temple.

If it weren't for the fact that the three masters and apprentices were all honest people, and their reputations and reputations in the surrounding villages were very good, he would not have agreed to move here for refuge.

At noon, Shengsheng brought a large pot of rice and sent it over, touched the little bald head and said honestly: "San Lang, my master said that you have just settled down and there is no place to eat, so you will eat in the temple during this time." ā€

"Good!" Liu Yuanshan was not polite, and he turned around to make up for it in the temple.

More than ten days later, a good news came: Uncle Mao's white charcoal kiln was about to open.

At this time, Liu Yuanshan, the initiator, naturally couldn't stay out of the matter, he stood behind the new cave, looking at the two brothers of the Mao family and the third uncle Shen who were about to do a big job, and there was also a trace of nervousness in his heart, who knows if the damn divine book will come out of something halfway.

"Boy, squat down and don't run, if it's not white charcoal waiting for the bake, you're going to be beaten." Uncle Mao laughed and joked with him, and Liu Yuanshan felt that his ass was gradually starting to go numb.

The three of them used all their strength to unravel the top layer of soil in the charcoal kiln, and the charcoal strips that still had residual warmth in it gradually revealed their faces. One by one, one by one, all covered with frost-like gray-white skin.

"Huh! Really! Uncle Shen couldn't help but peel off some of the soil elsewhere, and when he found that the charcoal in the entire charcoal kiln was all white charcoal, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "San Lang's method is really good." ā€

Liu Yuanshan took a deep breath, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this divine book did not deceive himself after all.

Second Uncle Mao's eyes shot a fine light, and he said with some gaffe: "Obediently, it's true, more than a thousand catties are all white charcoal, and now we have it." ā€

The price of white charcoal is generally three times that of black charcoal, and one kiln can sell nearly three taels of silver, and his family still has nearly ten kilns in stock, which is thirty taels of silver.

Thirty taels of silver, more than the county lord's annual salary, can almost buy six acres of good paddy fields.

"In two days, the boss and I will go to chop some firewood, and we can burn a few kilns!" Second Uncle Mao continued.

"Forget it, I've got a lot of firewood this year, and it's too late to cut it now!" Uncle Mao looked satisfied.

"With so much white charcoal, I'm afraid our town won't be able to digest it, so we have to take it to the county to sell it." Third Uncle Shen said.

Charcoal is good charcoal, but the price of white charcoal is more than three times that of general black charcoal, not to mention the town, even the county town may not be able to consume a thousand catties in one go, and there are more than ten kilns behind, which will definitely be sent to Xiangyang Mansion.

"Go to Xiangyang to sell!" Third Uncle Shen clapped his hands and said, "It's also a waste of time in the county, let's go directly to Xiangyang." ā€

Liu Yuanshan's eyes immediately lit up, and he stood up and asked, "Second Uncle Mao, if you go to Xiangyang Mansion to sell charcoal, can you take me with you, I also want to go to Xiangyang to have a look." "Actually, he wanted to go to Xiangyang to sell soap.

There are only about 50 pieces of soap in the first batch, leaving one or twenty pieces for gifts or personal use, and more than 30 pieces of others, which are rare and expensive, Liu Yuanshan decided to sell the first batch of osmanthus soap at a sky-high price.

If you want to accumulate wealth instantly, you must go to a big place, and Xiangyang Mansion is the best choice.

Second Uncle Mao thought that he was worried about his own money, and said jokingly: "Don't worry, San Lang, I won't rely on your money!" ā€

"No, Second Uncle Mao, I really have something to do when I go to Xiangyang Mansion, so you can take me with you." Liu Yuanshan couldn't cry or laugh, and secretly said that I really didn't care about your money.

"Does your mother agree?" Second Uncle Mao asked.

"It's okay, my mother listens to me." Liu Yuanshan patted his chest and said.

"Okay, our Xiangyang Mansion is peaceful on the ground, I can't get any moths when I go with your Third Uncle Shen, we will harvest the charcoal today, and we will leave early tomorrow morning!"
