Chapter 221 Monk, carpenter, Caotang Temple! ! !
"Hongyu, why did you come out?"
Zhuang Zhou stopped the car and just stopped at the door.
Then he saw maid Xiaoyu helping Hongyu come out of the gate.
"The slave family...
No, I heard that the young master was going to have an appointment with businessmen, so I was a little worried.
So...hey, who are they? "
Only then did Hongyu see clearly that there was a woman and a little girl standing at the door.
Especially this little girl, she is so pretty.
Rarely seen in the world.
Such a perfect beauty!
In a few years, she will definitely be even more beautiful and charming.
Zhuang Zhou looked at Hong Yu's confused expression and explained:
"I just met them on the road. They have nowhere else to go for the time being. I want them to stay at my house and help in the grocery store in the future."
When Wu Zetian heard this, she quickly smiled and saluted:
"Meet Madam!"
A blush appeared on Hongyu's face, and she shook her head slightly:
"I'm not a madam, I... you should call me sister!"
As she said that, she looked at Zhuang Zhou.
Zhuang Zhou also smiled and nodded and said:
"Okay, no need to be polite, let's all come in!"
Hongyu nodded in agreement and led Yang and Wu Zetian to the backyard room.
Wu Zetian still had a childlike nature, and she extended her hand to support Hongyu:
"Sister, I heard that you are sick, but you should have a good rest."
"It's okay, it's much better."
"Sister, you look so beautiful!"
"Really? But I think you are very beautiful!"
"Hahaha……"
For a time, there was a lot of life in the Zhuang Mansion.
Zhuang Zhou parked the car and walked to the backyard carrying the empty bag of wine.
Walk out to the backyard.
I saw that Yang and Wu Zetian had already helped Hongyu tidy up the wing.
The three women chatted happily, as if they were a family.
Zhuang Zhou smiled slightly and thought to himself:
"It seems that they get along well."
Zhuang Zhou walked into the door of the wing and said with a smile:
"Today's business appointment went quite smoothly. Let's have a good meal tonight to celebrate."
After saying that, he returned to the room.
Now we have discussed the matter of wood and medicinal materials.
Zhuang Zhou thought that he would have to find some carpenters in advance.
When the valuable wood arrives, the carpenter can make wooden ornaments according to his own ideas.
After all, it is impossible to bring the wood back directly.
It’s not easy to take action either.
It would be better to make wooden accessories, such as bracelets, wood carvings, etc.
The valuable wooden handicrafts you take back home.
Nowadays, Zhuang Zhou has also done some research on precious wood.
Mainly concentrated in rosewood, huanghuali, red rosewood, black rosewood, golden nanmu, agarwood, etc.
Zhuang Zhou returned to the room and locked the door.
Then ask Ural to turn on the holographic projection.
Searched in the database.
Finally found some woodwork patterns.
For example, the ebony elephant ornaments are a pair of small elephants carved entirely from wood.
Zhuang Zhou looked at the wooden statue and suddenly had an idea.
If it is made into giant panda wood carving crafts.
There must be a market for that.
In the hearts of Chinese people, the panda is a national treasure!
As for the twelve zodiac signs, they can also be carved with precious wood.
Create a complete zodiac work.
Of course, bracelets are still a must.
This depends on the size of the wood.
Another example is building a pair of Go pieces made of precious wood.
Or chess, these can all be done.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Zhou felt that he should start looking for a carpenter as soon as possible.
During this era, timber development was not as common as it would be in later generations.
It can be said that there are mountains and mountains everywhere.
Hainan huanghuali aniseed is also very common.
So this is definitely going to be a big deal.
As for precious medicinal materials, although it is difficult to mine, the supply is not that abundant.
But these are all natural and wild.
Unlike in later generations, ginseng can be grown artificially.
Other Chinese medicinal materials can also be cultivated artificially.
In terms of efficacy alone, it is definitely not as good as the wild one.
Taking Ural with him, Zhuang Zhou asked Hongyu to arrange the residences of Yang and Wu Zetian.
Then I went out and drove my motorcycle to the grocery store.
The first time I found Ma San, I asked him to find some carpenters.
And I specifically asked for a carpenter who can do wood carving.
Forget about carpenters who generally make furniture.
Ma San can't always keep up with his boss's thoughts.
But since his boss mentioned it, he could only tell the truth:
"Mr. Zhuang, most of the carpenters in this city only make furniture. If you want to make wood carvings, what exactly do you do?"
Zhuang Zhou also felt that what he said made sense.
It wasn’t a trade secret anyway, so he said truthfully:
"I have negotiated a timber business with someone today. They are all precious timber. I want to use it to make beads for bracelets. If there is aniseed, I can make wood carvings."
"Oh, that's how it is!"
Ma San pondered slightly and said:
"If you want to make Buddhist beads, you have to go to a temple to find them. I do know that there is a temple that is quite famous for making Buddhist beads."
"Oh, where?"
"The Caotang Temple thirty miles outside the West City Gate."
Caotang Temple?
When Zhuang Zhou mentioned this name, he immediately thought of Yuchi Yiseng.
This time I came here to prepare for him to continue copying some portraits of beautiful ladies.
Yes!
Zhuang Zhou remembered something again.
He remembered that he had promised Master Daoyue of Caotang Temple to donate a sum of money for sesame oil.
He only remembered this when Ma San mentioned it.
You can't keep your word!
Moreover.
Monk Yuchiyi is still in the temple!
Thinking of this, Zhuang Zhou felt that he should handle this matter first.
He asked Ma San to take fifty copper coins and a hanging solar lighting lamp.
This is because Caotang Temple is dark at night.
There are so many students who want to read books.
Simply get them a solar lighting lamp.
Even if you do good deeds and accumulate virtue.
Then he found Ling'er in the ladies' shop next door and told her to close early in the afternoon.
Go buy two fish and come back and cook a fish meal for dinner.
Then he took the fifty copper coins and put them on the motorcycle.
Then we went straight to Caotang Temple.
Arrive at Caotang Temple.
Zhuang Zhou first found Master Daoyue and donated fifty copper coins to the temple.
then.
He then asked Master Daoyue about making Buddhist beads and wood carvings.
Finally asked:
"Master Daoyue, can you find such a monk?"
Daoyue said a Buddhist saying:
"There are indeed some monks in the temple who are good at carving. In addition to practicing, they also make some Buddhist beads and wood carvings."
"Great!"
Zhuang Zhou was very interested after hearing this:
"You can arrange the manpower. I will give each person a hundred cents per day as their salary."
"Amitabha!"
Master Daoyue put his hands together and said:
"How can a monk care about money? The donor has donated fifty ounces of sesame oil money to this temple. I will definitely help."
Zhuang Zhou waved his hand and said:
"This is different! The fifty guan of sesame oil money I donated is to create a better reading and learning environment for students.
As for the monks making Buddhist beads and wood carvings, that has to be considered separately.
If it is not convenient for Master Daoyue to accept the money, I will donate it in the name of sesame oil money. "
How can you do something without paying for it?
Even if they are monks, Zhuang Zhou feels that they should be rewarded.
Since it is difficult to collect money, then just use the money as a donation to add sesame oil to the temple.
Zhuang Zhou even said it.
I will make a lot of money doing wood crafts in the future.
He would spend a lot of money to renovate Caotang Temple and rebuild the golden body of Buddha.
Master Daoyue could hear Zhuang Zhou's sincerity.
I readily agree to this:
"Amitabha! Tan Yue is compassionate and has great Buddha Dharma in his heart. Why don't you take refuge in my Buddhism?!"
"Forget it!"
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Zhou quickly waved his hand and said:
"I am still tied up in the world of mortals, and my six roots are impure. I won't bother Master anymore!"
After that, he turned around and went out.
He went to find Yuchi Yiseng!
