I was the richest man in Da Song

Chapter 24
"Shiliang, I'm a few years older than your father, so tell me a few words, what do you think?" An old man on crutches laughed.

"Uncle Xie, what can you tell me?"

Xie Andao is considered an old man in the restaurant industry, so Yang Shiliang naturally respects him more.

"We've been in this business for more than half of our lives, and we naturally know the rules. Complaints are complaints. This time, we actually put down our old faces to beg you."

"You're taking it too seriously." Yang Shiliang's heart blossomed, and he wanted to put on a flattered look on his face.

"We have all tasted this wine, and it is indeed the crown of the whole Song Dynasty, but the population of Kaifeng City is nearly 200 million, even if Wanchunlou is on a large scale, it cannot manage such a large place, why don't we take a step back.

Wanchunlou also distributes some Zuixianjiu to our restaurants every day. This year, we recommend you for the first time in the restaurant. How about it! "

Of course Xie Andao knew what Yang Wanchun and Yang Shiliang and his son wanted to do, and what Yang Shiliang was waiting for was this sentence, as long as he got these people on his side and overwhelmed Fan Lou, it would be just around the corner, and after so many years, he would finally feel proud.

"Uncle Xie, you have already spoken, how dare I refuse, but this Drunken Immortal Wine can only produce five thousand catties a day, so how about it, I will share two thousand catties for everyone"

Yang Shiliang made a look of embarrassment.

"So it's settled then?"

After Xie Andao got into the carriage, a girl with white teeth and bright eyes was sitting in the carriage, and she opened the curtain to look into the distance.

"Grandpa, you are back, have you settled everything?"

"As you expected, what the Yang family and his son want is nothing more than a seat at the head of the restaurant. In your opinion, what should we do next?" Xie Andao stroked his beard with a look of doting in his eyes.

"The most important thing after stabilizing the Wanchun Building is to find out who is brewing wine for them behind the scenes. It would be the best if you can buy back this brewing method. Even if you can't sell it back, you can not be restricted by the Wanchun Building."

"It turns out that you also think that this is not Wanchunlou self-brewed."

Xie Andao is very satisfied with his granddaughter's intelligence, but sometimes it is a pity that she is a daughter, otherwise she will be able to take over the family business.

"Your uncles and brothers are all successful. If they were half as smart as you, grandpa wouldn't be still running the family business at this age. If you were a man, grandpa would die with peace." Xie Andao sighed One sound.

"What did you say?"

"Forget about this, what was Wen Zhao watching just now?"

"Just now there was a very powerful person in the ring, one person drank eight or nine people down."

"Oh? That's really huge." Xie Andao was also a little surprised, he knew the strength of the drunken fairy wine.

For two hours, a dozen big men were crawling up and down on the ring. He Shao himself didn't know how much he drank, but felt a bit distended, so he stopped the boring wine fight.

He ordered He Si to come up and pick up a plate of gold, and left Wanchun Tower amidst the cheers of the crowd.

"Young master is really huge." He Si looked excited like a dog's leg, and the scene of cheering just now made him more excited than He Shao.

In terms of drinking, He Shao felt that his life was always as lonely as snow, so he sprinkled a dip and gave him a jolt, and the drunkenness just now dissipated a lot.

"You paid for the money just now, you can take the hundred gold yourself." He Shao generously gave the thousand coins to He Si.

"How can this work, I have no place to use money"

One hundred gold is one thousand guan, this is not a small sum, He Si dare not ask for it and does not really need it.

"It's up to you, let me treat it as your own stock."

"What do you mean by investing in shares?" He Si scratched his head.

"That means you won't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of your life"

Through He Shao's simple and rude explanation, He Si knew that he would not go hungry in the future, and this was the most gratifying thing.

Some time ago, He Shao had been guarding the Solfang Wine Store, fearing that something might happen, so he had no time to take a stroll until today.

Walking on the royal road, He Shao found that there were a lot fewer people today than usual, and the businesses on both sides were also deserted.

"Where did this person go today?" He Shao asked.

"You don't know? The last few days are the Xiangguo Temple Uncovered Conference"

"Uncovered meeting?"

Upon hearing this name, He Shao was completely sober.

"Master, you can't go, especially today." He Si hurriedly stopped him.

“Is there anything not to go”

Hearing the words Unsheltered Assembly, no matter what He Shao said, he would go and see it.

Daxiangguo Temple is considered to be the largest temple in Kaifeng City, and it is already crowded with people even if it is far away.

He Shao looked around, wasn't it the Uncovered Conference?
When other people saw He Si holding a plate of gold, they all involuntarily gave way to He Shao.

When I came to the front of the Daxiangguo Temple, I saw the vermilion gate, and there were two majestic lion statues sitting on the left and right. Two monks who knew the guest saw He Shao from afar and greeted him.

"Dan Yue, please come in"

"Are all the monks in Song Dynasty so enthusiastic?" He Shao was a little surprised.

Daxiangguo Temple is the first temple in the Song Dynasty, with double eaves and resting mountains, layers of bucket arches, covered with yellow and green glazed tiles, and the hall and platform are surrounded by white stone railings.The octagonal glazed hall rises high in the center, surrounded by verandahs, covered with glazed tiles, and bells are hung on the corners of the wings.

While leading He Shao, the two monks explained to him the various buildings of Xiangguo Temple.

"Dan Yue, look this way"

The monk led He Shao into the Daxiong Hall. Inside the hall was a wood-carved Esoteric Buddhist statue of Avalokitesvara with thousands of hands and dry eyes on all sides. It is about seven meters high and covered with golden treasures.

"These Avalokitesvara images are carved from the whole ginkgo tree, and anyone who enters here to pray will be successful"

"Is it so effective?"

"That depends on whether Danyue is sincere or not."

The monk glanced at the merit box beside him.

"Dare to ask the master, what is the Uncovered Conference?"

He Shao was very puzzled, the people outside obviously wore a lot of clothes.

"The Uncovered Assembly is for my Buddha to be inclusive without hindrance, unobstructed, unobstructed, and to form good relationships with all living beings. All people, regardless of high or low, monks and laymen, wisdom and foolishness, good and evil, are all treated equally." The monk is very Patiently explained.

"So... so..." He Shao hesitated a bit, "This naked meeting is actually not so naked?"

"Tanyue, what are you talking about? Apart from Wuzhe, the Wuzhe Conference also needs many Tanyues like you to make offerings to all the Buddhas of the ten directions and three times, and to give to the poor and lonely."

He Shao saw many well-dressed people put money into the merit box, the amount was at least around [-] Guan, and there was a woman among them, Yun Yizuo and Yu Yisuo.Dan Dan's shirt is thin and thin, and he frowns lightly with double Dailuo.

He Shao was stunned. He had never seen such a woman walking out of a painting like this.

Get rid of the sleeves and see the plain hands, and the bright wrists are about golden rings.Gold hairpin on the head, emerald green Langgan on the waist.A pearl is intertwined with a jade body, but a tree is difficult among corals.Luo Yi is so fluttering, and the light train is returned with the wind.

He Shao saw the woman walking towards the backyard of the temple with a maid accompanying her, so he followed her to have a look.

"The donor has not given alms, so it is inconvenient to enter and listen to the sermon"

Just after winning a hundred gold from the Wanchun Building, He Shao took two ingots from behind and handed them to the monk, but the monk didn't move out of the way, so he couldn't help but took a few more ingots.

Seeing that the woman had gone far away, He Shao didn't care so much, he even handed the plate to the monk, and the monk let He Shao in with a smile on his face.

He Shao took three steps and two steps to chase after her, but the girl had long disappeared in the courtyard.

"If the Buddha really has a spirit, let me find her."

He Shao didn't see him after searching more than half a circle in the temple. He Shao sat on the steps of the Daxiong Hall with some disappointment.

"Such a damned monk"

He didn't find anyone, and he didn't have any money. When had he, He Shaoren, suffered such a loss?

"The monk just said that during the Unsheltered Conference, the Daxiangguo Temple will provide free meals?" He Shao asked.

"It seems to say that"

"There are so many people in Solfang who don't know such important news? What are you still doing, hurry up and inform!"

He Shao didn't know how many Hanako and poor people in Suoerfang could support themselves, at least several hundred.

"The young master is right, I'll go now"

He Sixing left in a hurry, and he couldn't see his young master suffering such a big loss. He wanted to mobilize all the Huazi in the city to receive the Buddha's alms.

He Si went to Suoerfang to find someone, and He Shao was also wandering around the temple looking for someone. He used to think that love at first sight was nothing more than trying to play hooligans, but now he realizes that love at first sight is also a noble love.

The woman didn't find it just now, but she found a very strange place, where there was a burst of meaty smell, and there was a plaque hanging at the gate of the courtyard Roasting Pig Yard!

"Is this Tanyue hungry?" a monk asked.

"Well, I'm really hungry"

"Come here with me please"

Under the guidance of the monk, He Shao came to a box with many tables separated by a screen.

"This is the resting place for the Tanyue people who went to the temple to make offerings. Please take a rest again, and the food will be delivered soon."

There are several screens around him to separate himself from other people, but He Shao can still feel that there are people eating in other places.

Soon the monk brought out several plates of tasty and delicious dishes. He Shao looked at a plate of fish, a plate of barbecue, a roast chicken, and a jug of wine!

"Monks also eat meat?" He Shao asked in surprise.

"Tan Yue laughed, these dishes are water Suohua, called Zhuan Poultry, and Prajna Soup"

"This is Master Huiming's specialty dish, roasted pig"

"Hey, hey, please explain."
