Chapter 3: Fung's Money

Qingcheng.

Located at the foot of Qingxin Temple Mountain, I remember that the host said that this small city has tens of thousands of permanent residents.

Well, my first stop is here.

The smoke and fire in the market were really different, I woke up early from meditation and was woken up by the vendors outside.

If this is in the temple, everyone is still sleeping soundly at this time, and whoever sleeps loudly will definitely be beaten by the group.

Luoluo was also woken up by shouting and selling, and the little baby opened her sleepy eyes

"Good morning, Master."

"Good morning, Luoluo."

As soon as Lin Luoluo woke up, she directly turned on the 100,000 why mode.

"Master, why don't you chant?"

"I have memorized the scriptures in the temple like a stream."

"Master, shouldn't you learn from the past?"

"The more I reminisce, the more confused."

"Then what is Master wondering about?"

"I wonder what the Buddha realized that day.

The standard answer has always been the answer, right?

If the answer is the standard answer, I want to know the process of getting the answer and why it is the answer. "I said a long sentence unexpectedly.

"Master, I don't understand, I'm so embarrassed." There must be big doubts in Luoluo's little head.

"Then eat breakfast, and when Luoluo grows up, he will naturally understand."

The shopkeeper brought breakfast.

Barbecued pork buns, millet porridge, steamed buns, pickles, peanuts.

A little vegetarian.

While eating breakfast, I was sleepy.

I decided to wait and check out.

I'll have to change to a clean inn tonight.

"Master, does my hair look good like this?"

"Why pretend to be mature?"

"I'm dressed like an adult."

"You're young, adult, you don't have any hair."

"That's it..."Luoluo finally decided to tie his hair into a double ponytail.

I paid for the second room and the meal.

He took me three taels of silver, which was equivalent to three hundred copper coins.

It turns out that things under the mountain are so expensive, right?

After I leave the inn, I plan to go and exchange the gold bars on my body for silver tickets, after all, my Buddha said: wealth is not exposed.

Small gold bars are also not suitable for walking the rivers and lakes.

"Xiao Er, don't leave yet, and then ask you a question, how to get to Feng's Money Village?" I pulled and didn't want to pay attention to my shopkeeper.

"You go 800 meters from here, turn left for 100 meters, turn right for 50 meters, turn left again for 300 meters, and finally turn right again and you will see the big signboard."

Wow...

is worthy of being a city person, but he is exquisite, can he be so meticulous when he asks for a way?

Leaving the inn, the small town during the day is so lively.

People come and go, traffic is busy, shouting and drinking, and all kinds of smells are mixed in the air... I want to throw up.

Lin Luoluo held my hand tightly.

"Master, do you understand how to leave?"

"Probably, if you ask again, it will seem that we are very redneck."

I took Lin Luoluo's hand and poured into the crowd.

I always feel like a lot of people are looking at me in a daze.

Am I too handsome?

Or the robe is too beautiful.

Wrong.

They seem to be watching the fall.

What's there to see about Luoluo? Malnutrition.

Is it because I'm holding her?

Can't a monk hold a child?

What are they muttering? Don't you have to buy groceries and cook at home? Why are you so idle, whispering.

No wonder the host always says that people can't be too idle, and when they are idle, it's easy to gossip.

"Master, why do pedestrians always stare at us?" I was surprised by the sensitivity of a child.

"I guess I've never seen such a handsome monk."

I quickened my pace a little, took the falling hand and tightened it a little, raised my head and strutted high.

The shopkeeper didn't lie to me, there is still truth, goodness and beauty in the world.

After we gradually moved away from the crowd, we turned left and right, and finally saw the golden signboard.

Fung's Money.

It is said to be a family that has been passed down for more than 1,000 years, and it is older than our Seishinji Temple, and it is spread throughout every city.

"Donor, may I ask Feng Yuyue in Qingcheng, is Feng Gongzi here?" I entered the store and grabbed Xiao Er and asked politely. Of course, it is necessary to find an acquaintance to do things.

"May I ask who the monk is?" Xiao Er asked tentatively.

"Oh, the poor monk is the heart of Qingxin Temple, and I have known Feng Gongzi since I was a child." The monks don't talk to each other, and we really get along.

It is said that his name was still given by the host.

The moon in the water. For the way of business, the people are the water, and the business is the moon in the water.

We have known each other since we were children, and his father took him up to the mountain every year to worship the Buddha and burn incense to donate money.

Feng Gongzi and I are the same age, and they are naturally familiar with each other after coming and going.

Last year, I heard that Feng Gongzi took over the Feng's money village in Qingcheng, and in order to further strengthen the relationship with the Feng family, the whole temple specially held a general meeting, and finally decided to send eight small yellow croakers plus a landscape painting as a congratulatory gift.

"Oh, it turned out to be a distinguished guest of Qingxin Temple, rude and rude. Inside, please, inside, please. Our shopkeeper Feng is out, and it will probably take a few days to come back. Xiao Er led me and Luo Luo to a separate room, and served tea and snacks.

It's good that the related households don't have to queue up, and there are tea and snacks.

I knew I didn't eat breakfast for a long time.

"Woo, Master, this osmanthus cake is delicious and sweet."

"May I ask the monk, what can I do to help you?" Xiao Er's attitude is a plus, and sure enough, the descendants of the big family are different.

"Donor, I want to exchange for a silver ticket, some gold and silver, see if it's convenient." Respect is mutual, treat me with courtesy, and I will treat you with courtesy.

"Master, this plum blossom cake is delicious and fragrant."

"Absolutely. How much gold and silver do monks have to exchange? According to the regulations of Qingcheng, friends of Qingxin Temple come to exchange silver tickets, and the exchange rate can be increased by 10% compared with the market price. ”

"Good, good. It turns out that the host and I are yes, Qingxin Temple has a face, which is annoying. "I was very happy and poured out the small yellow croaker and broken silver and copper coins in the baggage.

"Woo, Master, this Qingtuan is delicious and glutinous."

"This! Monk, I'll call a guy to do the math for you right away. I could see that Xiao Er was a little surprised, he was already talking to me with his waist bent.

"Thanks, tired." I guess that's respect.

"Master, this one I don't know what it's called is delicious and crispy."

The guy who came in from outside took out a delicate děng (1) from a sandalwood box.

The two of them slowly weighed the small yellow croaker one by one, and made notes with paper and pencils.

"Luoluo, do you know what it means to eat without saying and sleeping without speaking?"

"Master, I'm going to tell you that this is delicious."

Forehead support...

Buddha, help me.

"Monk, I've calculated it for you here. According to the price of Qingcheng, combined with the unified price of our money village, one tael of gold is converted back to one hundred taels of broken silver is equal to 10,000 copper coins. Since you are a valued guest of Qingxin Temple, we will give you a 10% increase. In the end, it can be exchanged for two thousand six hundred and eight taels of silver tickets, which is equal to twenty-six taels of gold and eight taels of broken silver. How many denominations do you need? ”

"Just look at it. I can trust you. "I rejoiced in my heart.

In the end, it was replaced by a small stack of silver tickets of one hundred taels, fifty taels, twenty taels, ten taels, five taels, and one tael.

Who invented paper money, it's really convenient.

At this moment, I felt that I was one of the richest monks in this small city, walking with the wind.

Before leaving, I held hands with the friendly little second-hand.

"By the way, donor, please help me tell me something. If Feng Gongzi comes back to Qingcheng in a few days and tells him that his old friend has come down the mountain and wants to meet him, I will stay in Qingcheng for a few days. ”

"Certainly, definitely, the monk walks slowly, and the monk often comes when he is free."

It's so polite.

Luoluo and I found a relatively remote inn to live in.

The name is very good, it is called the 'First Meeting' Inn.

It's not as expensive as yesterday's inn, and it's only two taels of silver a day.

The owner is also beautiful and looks like he's only in his early twenties.

She said she was thirty years old, and I didn't believe it, and I didn't believe it.

In the afternoon, we found a cloth shop near our residence, measured Luoluo, and selected fabrics to make a few sets of plain clothes. The store said that it would take a few days, the business was more lively, and a deposit was required.

Alas, when I was away from home, I couldn't move an inch without friends, so I could only obediently go back to the inn and wait.

The third day of the descent.

It's raining, it's raining very much, and I don't want to go out.

Happily answer 100,000 whys with Luoluo Inn.

The fourth day of the descent.

It's raining, pouring down, and I don't want to go out.

And the fall in the inn to answer 100,000 whys.

Day 5 of the descent.

It's raining, it's stormy, and I want to go out.

I don't want to answer 100,000 whys.

I haven't seen the beautiful owner for a few days.

I don't know her name yet.
