Chapter 10: The Buddha's Consecration
The woman glanced at Bank's handsome face, as if she was full of admiration for Bank, and seemed to be mixed with a hint of shyness, she opened her mouth, looked down at Colberth next to her feet, and said, "The training is very good, such a big bullfight, it's really ...... Rare. ”
Banker replied gracefully, "It's all the credit of his master, who has given him the most exquisite dog food and imported canned Russian bear meat since he was a child, so that he can grow so ...... So ugly. ”
Bank secretly gave Colberth a stern look, stopping him from standing up and declaring his race, and retorting that he was not ugly, and that Bank had never bought him refined dog food.
"Haha." The woman was amused by Bank, "Well said, but handsome sir, I said...... It's easy to open, but do you usually do business with your doors closed? The woman pointed to the glass sliding door that she had pushed open.
"Uh...... We welcome only the most distinguished and discerning guests, such as beautiful ladies like you, who will be happy to serve you. Banker said this, but he did two steps in three steps, walked to another glass sliding door, and pushed it out.
The glass door was pushed open, and the sunlight was shining in, and the woman glanced at the ground at Bank's feet, intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile, "Elegant sir, for the sake of my discernment, is there any discount?" ”
As she spoke, the woman walked towards the store, glanced at Peggy, who was looking at her indifferently, as if she was amazed by Peggy's appearance, and then smiled at Peggy, not caring that Peggy didn't seem to want to accept her kindness, and picked up the items on the shelves at random.
"Uh...... Didn't I say it, over 100 dollars, get 9.8% off? Banker said with a sincere face.
The woman smiled, "I hear you, but you don't think it...... Is it too little? As he spoke, he inadvertently licked his lips.
"No... It's a lot, 9.8% off, this is already the biggest discount in the history of our store. Bank said blankly.
"......" The woman fell into a brief silence, then stopped caring, picked up the palm-sized agate jade pendant, and asked Banker, "How much is this?" ”
Bank's eyes shrank, this is a big business, "One hundred and eighty-eight dollars, if you get nine and eight percent off, it's ......" Bank's brain was frantically calculating.
"No discounts." The woman seemed a little helpless.
"Ah, that's even better...... Oh no, I mean that's a shame, beautiful lady, and the next time you come back and buy a hundred dollars, you'll get an exorcism. Banker said boldly.
The woman looked at the palm-sized yellow paper that was dangled by Banker and fell silent, it was really difficult to find such a "bold" shopkeeper these days, "Well, thank you, the proud shopkeeper......" The woman smiled.
"Small!"
Banker waved his hand, looking indifferent, as if to express that our store treats customers with such a big discount.
"I might need to buy a few things, though."
The woman puts the agate jade pendant in the cupboard...... Ah, the counter had been dismantled by Banker, and now there was a lazy sofa with an open Playboy magazine on it, and the woman glanced at the Playboy, took the jade pendant in her hand, and picked out the other goods by herself.
"Huh?"
Banker seemed to smell the breath of a rich man, knowing that this jade pendant alone was more than the turnover of Lanlost's department store in a normal day.
"If you buy another hundred dollars, beautiful lady, I'll give you a nine-point discount, of course...... If you choose to give away two Exorcist Seals, that's fine. Bank waved the crumpled yellow rune paper in his hand again.
“…… Then thank you. ”
The woman smiled absently, and walked casually under the dim old-fashioned light bulb and picked up a special amulet made by Lanroester's department store.
"What is this?" The woman asked.
Usually when outsiders are present, Bank will try to avoid staying under the dim light bulb, because of his bloodline, different characteristics from ordinary people, it is very conspicuous under the oblique light, and the reception is usually done by Peggy, but for the sake of this is a big fat sheep, Bank still reluctantly walked up.
"Ah, this...... But that's amazing! Banker stepped forward and said with a serious face, "This is the specialty product of our store, the owner spent a lot of time and energy, personally trekking through mountains and rivers to collect materials, and then a well-known living Buddha did not leave an inch, after nine hundred and ninety-nine days and nights, personally opened the special effect amulet." ”
That's true, at least that's what Bank himself thinks.
After all, these amulets were wrapped in leaves, but they were all leaves picked by climbing trees by themselves, and they didn't think the amount was enough, so they stuffed a few pebbles from the river.
In addition, this thing is a stale product, and it has been placed on the counter all the year round, and it has basically not been sold, so the nine hundred and ninety-nine days and nights have been inseparable from a well-known living Buddha......
Banker looked back at the gold-gold Buddha statue with the Devil Fruit in it.
Sakyamuni, is he famous enough?
"Really?" The woman checked the red amulet in her hand, her expression was a little hesitant, and asked, "How much?" ”
"Eight hundred dollars, no two prices, this is a scarce item, you can see, this is only a few in stock in our store." Banker said seriously.
"But...... That's it? The woman pulled a dry leaf from the gap in the amulet, held it in her hand, and asked Banker.
Banker was embarrassed.
I wiped it, and I knew that the thirty-cent red scarf of the same style of the Celestial Empire was unreliable.
That's right, the red cloth wrapped in a triangle on the outside of the amulet is a necessary war necessity for elementary school students who are fighting in a certain Celestial Dynasty.
But embarrassment is embarrassment, but he can't admit it, Banker said, "Of course it's more than this!" You must know that no matter what is wrapped in it, it is a thing that has passed through the well-known living Buddha for a long time, more than 900 days and nights without leaving, and personally enlightened the things near the Buddha. ”
"If the faith is pious, even a cat and a dog can be redeemed, I don't think the Buddha will care what material is made of the objects that he has Buddha power, in the eyes of the Buddha, not only are people, animals, and all things equal, even if it is those soulless things that carry his Buddha power, he will not be more sheltered because they are gold, jade and spirit stones, and they are disdainful of plants, trees and stones."
Bank's face was religious.
"But I don't believe in Buddhism, I believe in Christ." The woman said blandly.
"Forehead ......"
O sin and sin, you dare to say such things blatantly under the gaze of the Buddha statue, do you know how cruel the war of faith is, didn't your mother give you the science of those crusades and inquisitions, as well as those burners and spa beds, in the past, people like you would be tied up......
Bank suddenly remembered the huge silver cross that he had hung next to the Buddha statue.
Well, the Buddha is wantless and magnanimous, he will forgive you, and he will naturally forgive me.
"Okay, then I'll give you a discount, three dollars." Bank shrugged and made a look that everyone understood.
