"Okay, I'm going to make ginger soup right now." After hearing Qin Yu's words, Zhang Limei hurriedly went downstairs to make ginger soup.
"Okay, there's nothing to do here. I need to prepare some things for use in the evening, so I'll leave first." Qin Yu said goodbye.
When Qin Yu wanted to leave, Meng Yao naturally had to follow, and Meng Fang actually followed suit and said goodbye. In this situation, when Xiao Bing wakes up, Xiao Hanquan's family will definitely have many people to talk to, but it is not convenient for him to stay here.
"Xiao Qin, thank you so much for what happened this time. Hey, I'm a little confused now. I'll treat you well next time. And Yaoyao, the Dong family will trouble you. I'll wait for a few days.
I need to go to the Dong family again and think about how to compensate the girl."
Qin Yu nodded and said nothing. It was necessary for Xiao Hanquan to compensate the Dong family. In fact, if it weren't for Meng Yao's sake, Qin Yu would not have asked Dong Yuanyuan if he was willing to let Xiao Bing go. Even if Dong Yuanyuan was not willing,
He will also help Dong Yuanyuan repay Yang.
Of course, if Dong Yuanyuan is willing, everyone will be happy. I just hope that Xiao Bing can learn from this lesson and be a good person in the future and not lose the face of his parents.
After leaving Xiao's house, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. After Qin Yu, Meng Yao, and Meng Fang found a restaurant to have dinner, Qin Yu took them to a street specializing in incense and candles.
"I wonder if I can find magic weapons in this NC incense and candle shop?"
Standing at the entrance of Xiangzhu Street, Qin Yu thought of the Dragon Hunting Plate. Magical artifacts can be found in small counties. Maybe you can be lucky and come across good things here.
"I said Qin Yu, you took us to this Incense Street, what do you want to do if you just browse without buying?" After visiting most of the incense and feng shui props shops, Qin Yu couldn't even buy it, and Meng Fang finally exploded.
"Well, let's buy it in front."
Qin Yu touched Mo's nose and felt a little embarrassed. He went to these stores to see if he could come across a magic weapon, but after browsing so many stores, he didn't find anything good. It seemed that this magic weapon was indeed a magic weapon.
It's so rare that he was really lucky to get the Dragon Hunting Plate.
"A good family."
Qin Yu stood in front of the store. This store had a good name. When he walked into the store, the owner was sitting at the table eating. When he saw Qin Yu and others coming in, with rice in his mouth, he said vaguely:
"What do you guys want to buy?"
"Boss, how many candles do you have here?" Qin Yu said directly.
"Candles, how many candles do you want? I have eight catties of candles, ten catties of candles, twenty catties of candles, fifty catties of candles, and one hundred catties of candles." The shop owner replied.
Candles are divided according to weight, not length, so we often hear people say, ten catties of candles, twenty catties of candles, etc., but rarely hear people use length to measure them.
"Twenty pounds of candles, how much do you have? The quantity I want may be a bit large." Qin Yu thought for a while and said.
"Boss, what are you talking about? How much do you want? How much do I have? Even though my store is small, there is a warehouse full of candles in the warehouse. Do you want red candles or white candles?"
The so-called red event candles and white event candles refer to candles used for red and white events. These two types of candles are different. Red event candles are divided into longevity candles and wedding candles. The patterns carved on the surface of the candles are mostly auspicious patterns, while white candles
Funeral candles refer to candles used in funerals. These candles are usually painted with some runes, mostly Taoist runes, followed by Buddhist ones.
"It doesn't matter. I want two hundred pairs. Do you have any?"
"Two hundred pairs? Boss, you have really found the right store. I estimate that except for my store, no store in this entire street can give you two hundred pairs of twenty kilograms of candles at once. Two hundred pairs,
I have it, but it’s in the warehouse, so I have to wait a moment.”
Qin Yu nodded and said it was okay. The boss shouted into the store, "Ji Sheng, come out and take a look at the store. I'll go to the warehouse to get some goods." After shouting, the boss stepped on a tricycle at the door and rode towards the street.
go.
"Okay." There was a response from the store. A young man with glasses came out with a book in his hand. He looked like he should be the boss's son. Qin Yu glanced at the book in his hand.
The book is for the civil service examination. It seems that this young man is preparing to take the civil service examination.
"My dad went to the warehouse quickly, please wait a moment." The young man was not very talkative. After saying this, he sat in the boss's previous position and read his book. He was not afraid of Qin at all.
How many people would steal things from the store.
Of course, this young man will be relieved because there is nothing valuable in the incense shop. There are some ghost coins, candles, incense and other things. Who would steal this and take it back to curse themselves? And even if you burn incense and worship Buddha, you must be sincere.
Do you dare to burn the stolen things to the Buddha and Bodhisattvas?
People who often go to Buddhist temples to worship Buddha have a rule, that is, when worshiping Buddha, they will buy their own incense and will not use the Zen incense placed in the temple, or even the incense from relatives and friends, to show their sincerity.
, there is also another saying that using other people’s incense is equivalent to helping others worship Buddha. These Buddhas and Bodhisattvas only recognize incense. If you use the incense bought by others to worship, you are not helping others to worship. What is it?
"Qin Yu, why did you buy so many pairs of candles? Are you going to use them at night?" Meng Fang asked doubtfully from the side.
"Um."
Nodding, Qin Yu looked at the store again. There were shelves on the walls on both sides of the store, and then there was a stall in the middle, which was covered with things. At this moment, Meng Yao was curiously looking at a few things on the stall.
Qin Yu followed Meng Yao's gaze and twitched the corner of his mouth, being shocked by the things on the stall.
On the stall, there were IPONEs, laptops, and rendering paper products of various electronic products. There was also a sign on one side that read: In the digital age, the underworld also needs it.
Looking to the left along these "digital" products, there are various "bank cards", "underworld real estate certificates" and various "cars". Qin Yu was dazzled by what he saw.
"When did the underworld become so developed?" Seeing these things, Qin Yu shook his head and muttered in a low voice. He had seen it on the news before. Nowadays, many people burn strange things to death during the Qingming Festival.
As a person, seeing these weird things, Qin Yu could only sigh, this society is really advancing with the times, even this incense and candle shop has begun to keep up with the trend.
"Qin Yu, why are there so many women?"
Qin Yu walked to Meng Yao. Meng Yao pointed at the female paper figurines on the stall and asked with a slightly red face.
Meng Yao's face turns red because all of these female paper figures are scantily clad and have extremely sexy figures. The origami figures are also highly skilled. He highlights the women's alluring body parts to the fullest, with all of them bulging forward and backward.
Warped.
"This is called the Ten Beauties. It is usually burned to the deceased male elders so that the elders will not be lonely in the underworld." The young man who was still reading before did not know when he came out. He saw what Meng Yao was pointing at and spoke.
explained.
"Isn't it just to burn lovers for male relatives like dead fathers?" Qin Yu curled his lips. Meng Yao was not stupid either. He could hear the purpose of burning these paper figurines from the young man's mouth, and a blush spread over his pretty face.
With a shy look on his face, the young man was stunned.
Seeing the young man staring at Meng Yao, Qin Yu coughed twice in displeasure, secretly guessing that this guy was attracted to Meng Yao when he put down his book.
This kind of speculation is not impossible. Qin Yu knows Meng Yao's lethality to men. To be honest, among all the women Qin Yu knows, Meng Yao is probably the most lethal to boys in their twenties.
Although Mo Yongxin is also very beautiful, her cold and noble temperament makes these young boys retreat and dare not think too much. As for her coldness and hot figure, those innocent young boys only dare to have sex in their hearts.
.Only Meng Yao, with her pure and beautiful face and sweet smile, is the favorite type of boys in their twenties, just like the girl next door.
"Huh!"
After Qin Yu coughed a few times, the young man realized his gaffe, blushed, and walked aside. Qin Yu continued to look around. Suddenly, his eyes were fixed on something, and he was slightly surprised.
The direction that Qin Yu focused his eyes on was the place where the boss parked the tricycle before. Qin Yu was walking towards this place at the moment, and his eyes fell on a gourd that was previously blocked by the tricycle.
This gourd is more than an inch high. An iron wire has penetrated the mouth of the gourd. The iron wire has been knocked into the wall next to the door. Judging from the appearance of the gourd, it has become somewhat discolored. It has obviously been hanging outside for a long time. It is full.
After being soaked by wind and rain.
Qin Yu squatted down and flicked the belly of the gourd a few times with his hands. Several muffled sounds were heard. Hearing the muffled sounds, Qin Yu frowned. Generally, after the gourd is hollowed out and the gourd is knocked, the sound is
It's crisper and not as dull as this sound.
Putting his eyes to the mouth of the gourd, Qin Yu looked into the belly of the gourd and could vaguely see a black thing. Unfortunately, the mouth of the gourd was small. When Qin Yu's eyes met, it almost blocked all the light and could not see clearly.
What is it.
Qin Yu shook the gourd with his hand again, but there was no sound. It seemed that the black thing in the gourd was fixed at the bottom of the gourd.
"Qin Yu, what are you doing?" Meng Yao turned around and saw Qin Yu crouching down to study a gourd at the door, and asked in confusion.
"Haha, it's nothing, I just think this gourd is pretty good-looking." Qin Yu stood up, his eyes flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking. However, a bright light flashed in his eyes and he returned to calm, and he said to the young man: "
Little boss, why is there a gourd in front of your store?"
"You are talking about this gourd. It was there when my grandfather was here. Our store has been in business for three generations. I remember that when I was seven or eight years old, my grandfather hung this gourd on the wall at the door.
Up."
"It's been so long and you haven't touched this gourd?"
"What's so interesting about a gourd? It's not made of good materials. Even a thief wouldn't steal a broken gourd." The young man replied with a smile.
"Meng Yao, don't you want to plant flowers? What do you think of this gourd? If you plant flowers in the gourd, you won't have to worry about the cats at home accidentally breaking them."
Qin Yu suddenly turned around and said to Meng Yao. Meng Yao was stunned for a moment, but when she saw Qin Yu blinking at her with the young man behind his back, she knew that Qin Yu must have his purpose in saying this, so she nodded and cooperated with Qin Yu.
Yu said, "Yes, this gourd is really just right."
"When the time comes, ask the boss and ask him to give us this gourd. It's really hard to dig out such a big gourd." Qin Yu said casually, then stopped mentioning it and continued to read.
Other items in the store.
The young man didn't care when he heard what Qin Yu and Meng Yao said, and continued to lower his head to read his book, while Meng Fang glanced at the fox, looking thoughtful.
"Bosses, please wait for a long time. Here are two hundred pairs of twenty-pound candles."
The owner of the store came back on a tricycle and said breathlessly. The tricycle was full of candles. Two hundred pairs of twenty-pound candles were equivalent to four thousand pounds. No wonder the boss was sweating profusely.
"We have to ask the boss to help us transport these candles to the street entrance later. Our car is parked there and we can't get in."
"Okay, okay." The boss smiled and took the money handed over by Qin Yu. Two hundred pairs of twenty-jin candles cost five thousand yuan. Excluding the purchase price, he could earn more than three thousand yuan from this business, which was very good.
Not bad, let alone delivering it to the street, we are willing to deliver it to your door.
Under normal circumstances, twenty-pound candles cost eighteen yuan a pair, and his purchase cost was about eight yuan. Just now he casually opened a pair for twenty-five yuan, and this young man also
There was no counter-offer. It seemed that he really didn't know the market price of the candle. At this moment, the boss felt a little regretful that he had quoted a low price. If he had known that the price was thirty-one, he would have been able to get it.
"Oh, by the way, boss, I have something to discuss with you. My girlfriend likes to grow flowers, but there is a cat at home. When she used to grow flowers, the cat often broke the vases. I see that gourd at your door.
It's quite big, just give it to us to grow flowers. After paying the bill, Qin Yu casually said to the boss.
"gourd?"
After listening to Qin Yu's words, the boss first looked at the gourd at the door, and then turned his eyes to the young man behind him. The young man saw his father's questioning look and nodded slightly.
"Boss, this gourd was left by my father. It is said to ward off evil spirits. It has been hung outside my shop for so many years. Nothing has happened in this shop, so it cannot be sold."
"What about warding off evil spirits? A gourd has this effect? I have never heard of it. What kind of society is it now? Boss, do you still believe this? If you don't want to, forget it. It's just a gourd. Then we will go to the flower and bird market to buy it.
Just one. I just saw that the size of your gourd is quite suitable for planting flowers, and I don’t want to waste time running to the flower and bird market, so I wanted to ask the boss to give this gourd to us. If you are reluctant to part with it, then we won’t want it.
"
Qin Yu smiled and looked indifferent, holding Meng Yao's hand and walking towards the door. As he walked, he said to Meng Fang beside him: "My girlfriend and I will go to the flower and bird market to buy gourds later.
, you load up these candles and transport them to the temple, and tell the masters that there are only two hundred pairs of candles this month. On the Buddha's birthday next month, I will donate some candles and incense paper so that they can have more.
