Riding the wind of rebirth

"Master, we are all your juniors, if you have anything to say, just tell us."

"It's like this...you can tell the price, and you can find a market for it?" Cixiang said, "If you can find a buyer for me, you can sell the little cup for me at the price you said , The old monk joined the Hesi Temple, and I am deeply impressed by the great virtues."

"That's it..." Zhou Zhi was still a little embarrassed. This thing will be a highly sought-after category in ten years. The auction price of a single cup is generally estimated at around 300 million, and a pair of cups is around 800 million.And often double the estimated price can be photographed.

For example, Chenghua Doucai's Chicken Crock Cup has always been highly sought after in history, and it has even fetched sky-high prices in modern times.

But Zhou Zhi seems to have never heard of such a three-piece set of three horseshoe cups.

Zhou Zhi really didn't think about picking up leaks in Fawang Temple, but the price of this item is what he said. Although it is taking advantage of the future, but because the future is known, he can't help but hesitate for a while. Some bullies.

"Many places in Fawang Temple should be repaired." Ci Xiang said, "Even if the beams and pillars are all made of stone, there are still tile roofs, whitewashed walls and wooden doors, and the golden body of the Buddha...everything needs money."

"This time I invited your Uncle Yao to come here to see how the main hall's gate has been repaired. It's something that happened in the Tongzhi year..." Seeing Zhou Zhi's troubled expression, Prime Minister Ci asked tentatively, "Or, we can give you some formalities." fee?"

"Cough cough cough..." Zhou Zhi choked on the words of Cixiang: "I didn't mean that. I just said that this thing still has a lot of room for appreciation in the future. After another ten years...ten years No need, another five years! It should be tens of millions of things. Master, if you can keep it, it’s best to keep it.”

"But the Daxiong Palace can't wait that long..." Cixiang said, "I only spent six yuan for these six cups back then, but now I can exchange them for more than 1 yuan. I am already content."

"More than 1 yuan is enough to renovate the Buddhist hall, corridors, and dining halls, and it is also enough to decorate the Buddha. It can also save some for the Maitreya meeting next year, and open a tea garden on a slope..."

"I don't care how much these six little cups are worth in five or ten years. If the present opportunity is cut off because of the future fruit, I am not afraid of regretting the present in the future, and even more afraid of being greedy for the future in the present."

"Practice, practice, and plan for the future, but you have to act in the present."

Zhou Zhi was startled, he never imagined: "With more than 1 people in the countryside, so many things can be done?"

"It's all basic wages." Uncle Yao said, "The masters of the past generations have saved a lot of wood, all of which are good nanmu from Fawang Temple for many years."

"There are still stone materials, and there are a lot of stones in the back mountain." Ci Xiang added: "Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. And there is another problem..."

"what is the problem?"

"Now we know that these six small cups are worth more than 1 yuan. If we send someone to look at them from time to time, will they disappear for no reason like the "Dragon Canon"? These are not treasures, but turned into a burden. Ah..."

Zhou Zhi was impressed by Master Cixiang's wisdom. Indeed, this thing is easy to hide and easy to carry. Once people know its value, it will be a thousand days to guard against thieves. …

In the words of Buddhism, the evil cause has been planted, and the evil fruit will be reaped sooner or later.

"Then... alright." Zhou Zhi also figured it out: "I'll ask the fourth cousin to find a buyer for the master."

After thinking about it, he said, "Twelve thousand is just an estimate. If you meet a buyer you like, maybe you can sell it for a higher price."

Ci Xiang was overjoyed: "This will be troublesome, so stay with us tonight and eat black bean curd!"

Zhou Zhi took out a letter from his bag and said with a smile, "I guess I'll bother Master for a while longer."

Cixiang took the letter in a little confusion, and when he opened it, he couldn't help being surprised and delighted: "People from the brigade said that comrades from the Federation of Literary and Art Circles in the county came back to collect and inspect, and asked the monk to treat them well, but it turned out to be you?!"

After finishing speaking, he was shocked: "You are younger than Qiao Mu, Qiao Mu just finished the college entrance examination, right?"

Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "The main reason is that the godfather educated and guided her well, and got a member of the National Writers Association."

This kind of explanation actually made Cixiang feel reasonable. The boss of the Wu family is a well-known Wenqu star in the surrounding villages. He was the kind of person who was admitted to the university twice and three times. Back then, that was a big deal.

Although it seems that his official career will not be smooth in the future, he is at least the director of the county bureau, and he has found a wife who is also the deputy county magistrate. If he falls into Erli Township, he will have a great future.

"Is that so?" Cixiang said: "Then it's not an outsider who sells cups for monks, but I'll trouble you to take care of it."

"Oh master, don't say that." Zhou Zhi waved his hands in fright: "You are an elder, don't be so polite to me."

"Actually, selling things is just a trivial matter. Bringing the money is the trouble." Zhou Zhi said, "The institutions that can exchange cash checks are all in the county town. Even if the buyer believes my eyesight and agrees to the transaction, they will give you the money Then I have to run the twenty-li mountain road first, go to the brigade to call my fourth cousin, and ask him to remit the money to Erli Township through the post office."

"The postman will bring you the remittance slip, and then you have to take the remittance slip and go down the mountain to Shuangxi Town to exchange the money from the post office. That's quite a hassle."

"Fawang Temple has a phone, you can call us here."

"Eh? Fawang Temple is really... advancing with the times?"

"Hi!" Cixiang said, "Our Fawang Temple is also responsible for the glorious task of forest fire prevention. In order to report the situation in time, the Forestry Bureau approved a note for us to install a telephone, but the telecom side felt that it would be too troublesome to connect them, so they didn't want to. The asking price was higher, so I went to the Religious Affairs Bureau a few times and asked your godmother for help before I got it."

Indeed, the infrastructure has not yet spread to the countryside, and these are troublesome things.

But it would be convenient to be able to make a phone call, Zhou Zhi said, "How about I call Fourth Uncle and see if he accepts it?"

"Walk."

The telephone is supposed to be a very sacred thing in the heart of the compassionate minister, and it is put in a wooden box with a lock.

Opening the box, Zhou Zhi picked up the receiver and dialed the number of the fourth cousin's uncle's house.

The fourth uncle also installed a telephone at home this year. The retired cadres who started working before the liberation of the fourth cousin and the aunt had already obtained the qualifications, but they just didn't think it was worth it.

Zhou Zhi was willing to pay, and they didn't shirk it, they were happy to enjoy it.

The phone was dialed, and the voice of the fourth cousin came from there: "Hello, please tell me."

"Fourth cousin, my elbow."

"Where did you go wild again, kid? I called your house and said that I went out to investigate the field again?" "Yes, because of the "Dragon Canon", Master Qiao and I have come to Fawang Temple now. That's it, Fawang Temple Master Cixiang needs to repair the main hall, and there are two sets of horseshoe cups with more than three styles to sell, both of which are Yongzheng fighting colors, one is the current year's money, and the other is Chenghua's entrusted money..."

"...Hey, I saw something that was indeed a door opener, and the price was mentioned... [-]. Wasn't Dawen looking for good porcelain a few days ago? Isn't this just two sets ready-made? Hey, hey, if it's opposite If you can trust me, ask him to send money. The address is Fawang Temple, Erli Township, Shuangxi Town, Jiachuan County, SC. Good news...hey, I guess I'll have to investigate for two weeks here...I'll come back to Jiachuan to see you, hang up first..."
