Volume 1: The Beginning of Cultivation Chapter 4: A Little Vignette
Wang Liang walked over to take a look, the bell did not have the texture of metal, but the color of jade, through the sun, the pattern on the bell was clearly visible, and there was a faint fragrance, no wonder the little girl liked it.
Wang Liang took the bell, smelled the fragrance, and nodded: "It's good, how much is it?"
The boss looked about the same age as Wang Liang, a lean man, and when he heard the price, he seemed a little excited: "One or two silver!"
"One or two pieces of silver?" Wang Liang looked at the bell and shook his head, "It's expensive, two dollars at most!"
This bargaining was cut, and the boss's face turned green, and he hurriedly said: "Look at it, look at it! How can this be worth only two dollars! Whether it is materials or workmanship, I have spent a lot of effort.
I also deliberately put a sachet in it, which is fun and beautiful, and it is fragrant! How can it be worth two dollars!"
Wang Liang shook his head: "At most three dollars! This workmanship looks good, but there are still some edges and corners to the touch, and the sachet is not a rare thing, I just saw an old man selling sachets, and I didn't understand this material, but if this thing is valuable, you won't put it on the side of the stall at will, and it's not worth much." ”
The boss was excited: "Why is it worthless! This is the treasure I brought down from the legendary Kunlun Mountain, I tell you ......."
"Three dollars! I'll just say this number!"
"Brother, that's not how you bargained! Eight dollars! Why don't you let me earn some!"
"Four money!"
"Seven bucks!"
"Five dollars! I'm not satisfied, so I'll leave. ”
The boss gritted his teeth and nodded: "Five dollars is five dollars!"
Wang Yao listened confusedly and asked, "Brother, aren't we rich?
Wang Liang habitually touched his head: "Money is spent, but it must also be saved, our money is not blown by the wind, you are happy to study, and it is not easy for your brother and me to make money!"
"Oh......" Wang Yao's little head didn't understand this, but he still nodded obediently, and then looked at the other things in the stall, his eyes blinked, as if he still wanted to.
Wang Liang looked at his sister a little soft-hearted, after all, his mother was strict, and he rarely went out when he was almost ten years old, so it was rare to go out, maybe it would be good for her to be happy.
"What other interesting things do you have here, let me see?" Wang Liang said.
"Yes!" the boss seemed to have a head in it when he heard this, and he was busy explaining it.
"You look at the woodbirds, they're made entirely of wood, but they can fly!
"Look at this again! Don't look at the mirror, you twist this button next to you, it can glow!"
"Look at this ......"
The boss said it wildly, but Wang Liang didn't look too strange when he saw it, but Wang Yao blinked his eyes wide, looking like he wanted to have fun.
Wang Liang glanced at his sister dotingly, waved his hand to stop the boss, and then said: "Four coins of silver, I have to bother you to help me send it to my house." ”
The boss was holding a mask and was stunned for a moment: "Brother, I still had five coins of silver just now, why is it less in a blink of an eye!
"No!" Wang Liang waved his hand, "I mean, I will pay four dollars for every piece of silver you have here!"
The boss was ecstatic when he heard this: "You didn't lie to me?" and he didn't even pay attention, and even the honorifics poured up.
Wang Liang smiled: "Why am I lying to you, but you have too many things, so I bothered you to send it." ”
"Good, good!" the boss was excited and began to pack the items on the stall.
I said why I went out this morning and the magpie barked, it turned out that I met the gold owner! I was happy, and suddenly a big hand slapped down, the boss didn't pay attention, and his head hit a stone object in front of him, which was called a jingle sound!
This familiar force...... The boss didn't look back to know who it was.
The owner of the big hand spoke: "Why didn't I see you in the morning, it turned out that I had secretly set up a stall here! I can't separate myself from selling art and collecting money over there, but you are taking your things to buy here blindly! How many dollars can you sell!"
The owner of that big hand is the strong man with copper skin and iron bones who Wang Liang and they saw just now, and the strength of that hand can be called a black! The sound of the boss's head hitting the object, Wang Liang picked his eyes, for fear that his brains would burst out!
"Master, you're underestimating me!"
Master? No wonder your head is so hard! It turns out that it is the teacher's inheritance!
The boss rubbed his head and retorted: "You can earn a lot of money by being beaten up for performing arts, you look at me, I met a gold owner and wrapped up all my things!
The strong man was disdainful: "Just how much can you sell these rags? I'm afraid that others won't send you away with a few pennies! Isn't it good for you to follow Lao Tzu to cultivate well? Fooling around with these messy things all day long!"
The strong man hates iron and steel, and his apprentices have good talent and high qualifications, but they just focus on these messy things, what can they learn?
The boss grinned: "Don't underestimate it, this gold lord gives four coins of silver for each thing! Master, don't make trouble, I still have to wrap things up and send them back to the house!"
The strong man was stunned: "How much?"
The boss stretched out four fingers: "Four dollars! You better stay and sell your art ......."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud noise, and the strong man raised the stall high with one hand, and looked at the stunned Wang Liang, whose originally rough voice was as gentle and gentle: "Where do you live?"
Wang Liang: ......
Boss:......
Wang Yao: Wow!ヾ(o◕∀◕)ノヾ
Wang Liang called a guard to show them the way, Wang Yao put away his excited expression, and said to Wang Liang unusually: "Brother, I'm tired of playing and want to go back to study!"
Wang Yao said, but his eyes were staring at the stall held high by the strong man, what does this girl mean, why is Wang Liang not clear. Isn't it just that there are so many new things and you want to go home to play, and you have learned to find reasons!
Wang Liang couldn't cry or laugh, but when this girl went back, he didn't have to worry about it, so he agreed, he simply let the two guards who accompanied him go back with Wang Yao, and it was convenient for him to act alone.
Seeing the girl leading a group of people to jump and walk back, Wang Liang shook his head helplessly, his pace quickened, and he went straight towards the pagoda in the distance.
Walking slowly, it was just a stick of incense, Wang Liang arrived at the gate of Xian'an Temple, and then Wang Liang was surprised to find that the gate of Xian'an Temple was closed!
As the largest temple in Yucheng, Xian'an Temple is full of incense on weekdays, and the flow of people is endless, and there will never be such a scene today, the door is closed, and the door can be crowded.
What's going on?
Wang Liang was puzzled, and saw a fortune-telling stall next to him, and an old gentleman sat there with his eyes closed, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask: "Please ask for advice, today is the first day of the Buddha Fasting Meeting, why is the Xian'an Temple not open?"
The old gentleman seemed to be awakened, and when he saw the person in front of him, he said angrily: "A few days ago, it rained at sunset, and many houses in that temple were damaged and had not yet been repaired, so the presiding officer held a puja in other places, and those people went to that puja.
If you want to go, hurry up, that's a big one! Don't delay my sleep!"
