"It's okay...more than a hundred yuan a box." Wang Yougui said this with pride. A box of four-month mooncakes cost more than a hundred yuan. These are definitely luxury mooncakes, at least he himself is reluctant to eat them. Then
Asked Song Ergou: "What kind of moon cake do you have?"
Song Ergou chuckled and said: "I spent a lot of money to buy the best mooncakes, home-made eggs, imported raw materials, and hired a master to make handmade mooncakes! This box costs more than 300 yuan!"
Hearing this, Shao Min, Zhao Gang, and Xue Zong were shocked. Someone actually went to deliver mooncakes to the monk on the mountain? Is it true?
Shao Min couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "It's not such a coincidence. He heard our complaints and found someone to act for us, right? This monk is too proud..."
Xue Zong also frowned. What Shao Min said was not impossible. After all, young people still attach great importance to face.
Zhao Gang did not rush to a conclusion, but said: "Let's take a look..."
Shao Min and Xue Zong were not in a hurry, so they might as well watch it again. Shao Min sneered and said, "I want to see how they perform this show! There are dozens or hundreds of believers in Daming Temple sending moon cakes, but he only managed two people.
Does it count as a round-up? Hum…”
Zhao Gang and Xue Zong remained silent.
"Hey, you're a good boy. You're so generous when you make a move. It seems like you've made a lot of money recently." Wang Yougui said with a smile.
Song Ergou smiled bitterly and said: "Don't tease me, this is just a gift to Abbot Fangzheng. If I were myself, I would not be willing to eat such expensive food."
Wang Yougui nodded and said: "Everyone knows what our village was like last year. Among the eight villages within ten miles, few are as poor as us. But what about this year? With the help of Founder, our village has been completely lifted out of poverty, and even made a fortune.
We are rich. Hanzhu has brought tourism and farm entertainment, and bamboo carving has brought a large number of orders. Every family is very busy, with big and small money. It can be said that now, among the eight villages in ten miles, our village is number one! Thank you too.
It should be."
Song Ergou nodded and said, "Yes, I used to be a stinky gangster, but now I have become a role model. This kindness is not over yet."
"I really want to act like that." Shao Min muttered in his heart.
At this moment, someone came again. It was Sun Qiancheng who came with Mengmeng. Mengmeng was holding a mooncake in his hand. There were mooncake crumbs on his little face and clothes while eating, and his baby's fat little face was flushed.
The two little pigtails fell down, looking particularly cute. Sun Qiancheng also carried a large bag of mooncakes in his hand. The important thing is that there was a woman following Sun Qiancheng!
Seeing this, Song Ergou raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Oh! Isn't this the sister-in-law? Is she coming back to see the children during the holidays?"
The woman nodded and said: "Yes, come back and see Mengmeng. I heard from Qiancheng that the family has changed a lot, how good it is, and how good the business is, so I will come back and take a look."
"Haha, after reading it, how do you feel?" Song Ergou said with a smile.
"What else can I do? Okay!" When the woman said this, she smiled very happily and continued: "To be honest, before I came back, I always thought that I was bragging about my future. I didn't expect that our village is so good now.
Bamboo carving, this farmhouse, business is so booming. It’s great..."
The woman had no education, her voice was not soft, and she kept saying good things.
Song Ergou laughed loudly and said, "I told you a long time ago that our village is different! By the way, sister-in-law, are you going back to the south to work after the festival?"
"What are you doing? You're like a top in the factory. You work so hard to make two or three thousand yuan, but you can make whatever you want at home." The woman rolled her eyes at Song Ergou.
Song Ergou said excitedly: "Does this mean, stay?"
"I'm staying! I'm not leaving! I'll be at home with my children and grandson from now on!" the woman responded cheerfully.
Wang Yougui, Song Ergou, and Sun Qiancheng all laughed. There are many families like Sun Qiancheng's where the husband and wife live in two places. In many families, the whole family is at home when the farming is busy, and when the farming is slack, one person goes to work in a factory outside to make money to support the family.
.Some even go out as a family
Working... In addition, after the children go out, they would rather work overtime outside every day and work day and night shifts than go back to the countryside and suffer the hardships of farming. For a time, there are fewer and fewer people in the village, especially young adults.
There are even fewer of them. The village has become desolate...
However, as the benefits brought by cold bamboo and bamboo carvings became higher and higher, more and more men, women, and children working outside returned to their hometowns. Together with apprentices from other villages, Yizhi Village became lively again.
.
The person who felt the deepest feeling was naturally the village chief Wang Yougui! He had been wronged all his life by leading the village to a well-off society. As a result, the more people he led, the fewer people he led. When he was almost desperate, he turned around and achieved today's results. Now Wang Yougui can dream of everything.
Laughing, every time the village chiefs gather or have a meeting, he is particularly energetic. I don’t know how many people are envious of him.
When Song Ergou asked, the good guy Sun Qiancheng was also here to deliver moon cakes.
Zhao Gang muttered: "It seems to be true."
"What's the matter? Is it really like what they said? Monk Fang Zheng is so powerful, and there are only so many people in such a big village? I think this is just a show." Shao Min said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Ergou shouted: "Oh, Chen Jin, are you going up the mountain too? Don't tell me that you are also delivering mooncakes."
"Nonsense, Fang Zheng saved our family's lives. It's the festival, so of course we have to send some mooncakes." Chen Jin scolded with a smile.
Shao Min was silent. Chen Jin had a large family. Chen Jin and his wife, son, daughter-in-law, and grandson were a family of five. This did not look like they were acting...
"Is that monk really... so famous? Isn't he a fake monk?" Shao Min was filled with doubts.
At this time, Zhao Gang patted Shao Min on the shoulder and motioned to look into the distance.
Shao Min looked up and saw a large group of people coming out of the village. Everyone was carrying things in big and small bags. Some were carrying fruits, some were carrying drinks, some were carrying vegetables, and some were carrying snacks. But there was one thing
It’s the same. That’s a must-have mooncake gift box for everyone! Look at the packaging, it’s not cheap!
When these people came, Song Ergou and others greeted each other one after another. Everyone was talking about it, and it turned out that they all wanted to send moon cakes to Fang Zheng. The reason why they did not go up the mountain immediately was because they were busy with their own farm work. It was autumn.
There is a lot of farm work. Even during the holidays, it is only done after the busy work is finished.
Hearing this, Shao Min had a bitter look on his face. If one or two people were here to act, then so many people obviously couldn't be acting. No one would invite so many people to act for the three of them!
Shao Min suddenly realized that she seemed to be wrong. She had misjudged the situation and wronged the monk.
Seeing Shao Min like this, Xue Zong hugged her gently and whispered: "These are all villagers from Yizhi Village, fellow villagers. It's normal for us to have a good relationship. And you also have good intentions, but don't be too reckless in the future.
Already."
Shao Min nodded slightly. She felt a little better when she heard that they were all villagers and fellow villagers. This shows that Fang Zheng's influence is not great, and it is mainly concentrated in this village... This blow will be small to him.
After all, there is a difference between offending a little monk and a master who is famous all over the world.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone else came from a distance.
"Isn't this Zhao Baolin and his family from Hongtang Village?"
"Hey, isn't that the little prince from the next village who advises gambling?"
"Haha, I saw Fatty, Monkey and the others. These two guys changed cars again!"
"Professor Jiang and his disciples are here too... I thought they would go home for the holidays and not come. But they went to prepare gifts... This guy is so lively."
Everyone was talking in a flurry and reported names one by one. Xue Zong and Shao Min's faces were a little red. They still underestimated Fang Zheng.
In particular, when Xue Zong saw Guan Xiangfeng walking behind Jiang Zhou, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Did I see Guan Xiangfeng, the housekeeper? This guy with eyes higher than his head is actually here too."
?I heard that he went out to learn bamboo carving from the master... Could it be..."
"Jiang Zhou, isn't that the master sculptor of our province? Why is he here too? And is he giving mooncakes to Abbot Fangzheng?" Zhao Gang said in surprise.
If the previous villagers only proved that Fang Zheng was a good person, then the appearance of these people immediately highlighted Fang Zheng's status in a different way! This is definitely a figure like a master, otherwise why would another master give gifts?
?
Seeing this, Shao Min's eyes flickered, and finally he gritted his teeth and rushed out, heading straight for Guan Xiangfeng.
"Eh? Shao Min, why are you here?" Guan Xiangfeng looked at the sudden appearance of the girl and was stunned.
"Let me ask you a question, what's going on with the bodhi trees on the mountain? Aren't you afraid of freezing to death in the winter?" Shao Min asked straight to the point.
Guan Xiangfeng had stayed in the village for so long, so he naturally knew the situation of Yizhi Temple very well. He smiled and said: "Frozen to death? Don't be ridiculous. That tree has been on the mountain for many years. It was frozen to death, but it suddenly came back to life last winter.
Come here, the branches are lush and leafy, more lush than the old trees native to the Northeast. This is a miracle of Yizhi Temple."
"Really? You didn't lie to me?" Shao Min asked with a red face.
"Why are you lying to me? Who in these eight villages doesn't know this? If you don't believe me, just ask... I tell you, Abbot Fangzheng is a master! A master from this world, his carving skills are even better than my master's. We all follow him
He is learning bamboo carving." Guan Xiangfeng was now completely convinced by Fang Zheng and admired him extremely.
Xue Zong and Zhao Gang, who had followed him, also heard his words.
The three of them looked at each other and saw the bitterness in Shao Min's eyes.
Seeing the villagers packing up the mountain, Xue Zong patted Shao Min on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't think so much, let's go."
Shao Min bit her lip and finally stamped her feet and said, "If you don't want to leave, I'm going up the mountain!"
"Shao Min, haven't you made enough trouble?" Zhao Gang was completely speechless.
Xue Zong also looked helpless.
"Who told you that I was going to make trouble? I, Shao Min, have a bad temper, but I am not an unreasonable person! I was wrong when I was wrong, and I shouldn't have been so cruel to that monk before. Since I was wrong, can't I apologize?
"After saying that, Shao Min went up the mountain.
Zhao Gang and Xue Zong looked at each other, then they both laughed, immediately shouted "Wait a minute" and followed them up the mountain.
