Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

When Gu Siwei was about to ask Lao Han how many of these supplies he could get, there was a lot of excitement outside.

"Uncle Tao Wu, why don't you take the little tiger out for a walk?"

Gu Siwei turned around and saw that Tao Yisheng was smiling like a peacock with his tail open, and he was smiling and saying hello to the people next door through the wall.

"Siwei, you are here, just in time. I have something to ask you here."

Tao Yisheng also saw Gu Siwei, and immediately waved to Gu Siwei, and followed him to the door of the yard. Behind Tao Yisheng, there was a tiger cub, like a tabby cat.

Now the tiger cub is no longer afraid of people. Not only is he not afraid of people, he is also curious about everything in Zhuangzi. At this moment, he stares at the people in the yard with his round eyes.

"Are you discussing something?"

As soon as he arrived at the door and entered, Tao Yisheng saw Lao Han and Yang Chuanwu sitting next to Gu Siwei. This was obviously a way of discussing things, so he hesitated a little.

Yang Chuanwu stood up with a smile, greeted Tao Yisheng, took a stool for the old man and placed it next to him, motioning Tao Yisheng to sit down and said.

"It's nothing big, just looking for cement in Zhuangzi or something."

After Tao Yisheng heard this, he walked into the yard and sat down on the stool. Just as he was sitting firmly, Liu Kailan in the room brought another pancake over and asked Tao Yisheng to judge how good her pancake was.

After taking a bite of the pancake, Tao Yi praised it.

"It tastes good, but the lard is not enough. The aroma of the lard is not baked out. I will add a little more lard next time. It doesn't need to be too much. Just a pound or two of oil will be enough for a pound of noodles." "Yeah..." Tao Yisheng commented on the pancakes made by Liu Kailan while eating.

Gu Siwei waited for Tao Yisheng to finish, then said: "Let's get down to business. What can I do for you?"

Gu Siwei is now focusing on building materials and wants to let Tao Yisheng finish the matter while he does serious work.

Tao Yisheng said: "When will the construction team enter the site next year?"

"Why do you ask this?" Gu Siwei was a little surprised.

Tao Yisheng said: "What else can we do? The Yinshan Temple is about to be built."

"Yinshan Temple?" Gu Siwei was stunned after hearing this.

Yang Chuanwu said: "The Taoist temple built by the villagers for the mountain god is called Yinshan Temple, which actually means Tiger Mountain Temple. It's a bit unpleasant to call it tiger directly, so it was changed to Yin, Yinshan Temple."

Gu Siwei asked: "Why isn't it called Songyang Temple?"

Songyang Temple is the Taoist temple where Tao Yisheng practiced before.

Tao Yisheng said: "It's different. Songyang worships Sanqing, while Yinshan worships the mountain god. It's a bit inappropriate to call it Songyang Guan. Besides, Songyang Guan has long since disappeared."

"oh!"

Gu Siwei didn't hear that it had anything to do with whether it was called Songyang Temple, but he was not in the mood to ask about it.

"Has the money been raised now?"

Gu Siwei was a little skeptical. According to Gu Siwei's estimate, it would take Tao Yisheng two or three years to figure it out. After all, the villagers didn't have much spare money on hand, and they would have to sell the fruit for at least several years. .

Therefore, Tao Yisheng said this now, which made Gu Siwei a little curious.

Tao Yisheng said: "The villagers are very active. We have almost raised the money. At least now we can build a side hall or something. When we have enough money to build the main hall, we can invite the mountain god statue to the main hall." ...".

After hearing what Tao Yisheng said, Gu Siwei thought to himself: Is there something wrong with his understanding of the villagers' money? Listening to Tao Yisheng's words, the villagers are all like rich people, eating and drinking a little. Are the poor villagers willing to spend money to build a temple?

This is something that Gu Siwei really can't understand, but it's not surprising. Spiritual needs are inevitable at all times. Sometimes people would rather be hungry to maintain their beliefs.

People without faith like Gu Siwei cannot understand.

The villagers now feel that life in Zhuangzi is getting better. First, it is Gu Siwei’s contribution, and second, it is the care of Grandpa Mountain God. Gu Siwei’s good deeds are remembered by everyone, that is, they live a good life with Gu Siwei. How should they respond to Grandpa Mountain God’s care? ? Naturally, I have to build a temple for Grandpa Mountain God, otherwise how can I express my gratitude.

If Tao Yisheng were a monk, the villagers would pay to build a temple. Therefore, the villagers do not really have much difference between Buddhism and virtue. What they care about is building a dojo for the mountain god. Moreover, this dojo must be built as well as possible with one's own financial resources.

So Tao Yisheng opened his mouth, and a few days ago, the tiger gave birth to his son, this guy! Not only the folks from the Sixth Team donated money, but also some people who came to work in Lujiazhuang also donated part of their income.

Although the people in Lujiazhuang donated little, it was still a kind gesture. The folks from the Sixth Team donated so much that Gu Siwei would be speechless if he heard about it.

With such scattered items, the donated money is naturally enough to build a side hall. Moreover, Tao Yisheng thought that the temple would only ask a construction team to build a foundation. When the time came, they would do the lumber for the main hall themselves, and how could they build it? Save a lot of money.

When Lao Han heard this, he wondered if he could let it go. This was another job, so he asked, "How are you going to pay me?"

Tao Yisheng was stunned after hearing this: "Can't you give me money?"

Old Han had a bitter look on his face at this time: "It's not easy to give money!"

"Then what should I give?" Tao Yisheng looked confused. He really didn't know what to give if he didn't give money, treasure? Tao Yisheng didn't think he had it. If Songyang Temple had not been destroyed, he would still have some, but now, the old Taoist's face is cleaner than Dou's.

"Do you have any foreign exchange coupons?"

Old Han was a little anxious, so he opened his mouth and asked Tao Yisheng.

"Are there any foreign exchange coupons now?" Gu Siwei blurted out.

When he reacted, Gu Siwei felt that he had made a mistake. Fortunately, the people around him did not notice anything unusual, and everyone's eyes fell on Tao Yisheng.

"Wait...what is that thing?" Tao Yisheng was a little confused.

Lao Han said: "Didn't you say that the villagers donated money to build the temple? Why didn't they just donate the money from the foreign exchange coupons?"

Gu Siwei finally came to his senses and thought to himself: Why is Lao Han so active? It turns out he is here to earn foreign exchange coupons!

Gu Siwei didn't know when the foreign exchange coupons were issued or when they stopped circulating. So he knew about the foreign exchange coupons, but he didn't expect that they would be available now.

After Lao Han explained it, Gu Siwei understood that the reason was that the foreign exchange coupons had not been officially released yet, but it was already a done deal, and the purchasing power of the foreign exchange coupons was actually money, unlike It is the money used now. In fact, it can only be used for part of the currency. It cannot buy many things. However, foreign exchange coupons can buy all the goods on the market.

"Does our village have this?"

Tao Yisheng looked at Gu Siwei and asked.

Gu Siwei said: "I really don't understand, but if it is published, our Zhuangzi will have it!"

This is something that Gu Siwei had negotiated with people like Xiao Shuping before. What he gave here was a serious and beautiful sword, and it fell into the hands of the villagers and became currency with reduced purchasing power. Naturally, Lao Gu was not happy, so This and that must be implemented no matter what.

Now everyone's words are true, and it is impossible to discount Gu Siwei's things. It's not like in the future, if someone owes you a million, you have to give a discount if you want them. One million will give you 800,000, which is not cash. , I have to draw a cake for you. At this time, the big guys are not so shameless and can't do the dirty things they will do decades later.

Therefore, Gu Siwei has the confidence to say that if Zhuangzi is published, he will definitely say this, but decades later, he will not be sure to say such words.

"have!"

Hearing Gu Siwei's affirmative answer, Tao Yisheng replied simply to Lao Han.

Before Lao Han could say anything, Tao Yisheng added: "But maybe we have to wait, because from the looks of the four dimensions, Zhuangzi doesn't know about this yet."

Lao Han was smiling at this moment: "As long as you have it, we won't worry about it when. Let's discuss it now?"

Gu Siwei looked at Lao Han and felt that this guy's role had changed too quickly. Why was he so businessman-like now? He looked so disgusting!

"Can this also be done on credit?" Tao Yisheng asked.

Lao Han said: "Of course you can get credit. I'm afraid your Zhuangzi will run away. If you don't have money elsewhere, it would be a joke if you don't have money at Zhuangzi."

After Gu Siwei heard this, a string of black lines appeared on his forehead!

After taking a look at Yang Chuanwu next to him, he found that his face was also very embarrassed, so the two of them quietly listened to the discussion between Lao Han and Tao Yisheng.

The two of them may have felt that talking in the yard was a bit unintuitive, so they quickly ran to the scene together, which was on the hilltop to the east, and started gesticulating at the scene.

Gu Siwei was holding the little tiger in his arms at this time. While stroking the tiger, he looked at Lao Han and Tao Yisheng who were chatting over there.

"I am!"

Gu Siwei was a little shocked: "How much does this cost!"

After hearing that Tao Yisheng measured the area of ​​the side hall with his steps, Gu Siwei's eyes almost popped out of his head. This side hall is twice as big as the place where his family lives now. How big can the main hall be?

"I said Tao Yisheng wouldn't draw cakes for Lao Han, right?" Gu Siwei turned to ask Yang Chuanwu next to him.

"What kind of cake are you drawing? It's just the normal size," Yang Chuanwu replied with a smile.

Gu Siwei stretched out his hand and said, "You call this normal size?"

"The main hall of most temples is this big. The former Songyang Temple was just this big...".

Gu Siwei was very happy: "In the past, Songyang Temple was built by the county, and we were just a village! How much would it cost!"

Yang Chuanwu said: "Don't think too much. Many places don't cost money, such as labor. When the time comes, the villagers will come to help. It's just a matter of providing a few meals. There are also timber everywhere in the mountains. It's really not possible to wait for logging. When the wood is put away, let's drag a few up..."

have to!

Gu Siwei finally understood, and the villagers were determined.

After thinking about it for a while, I felt that the villagers had no problem, so I couldn't ask more questions. He Gu Siwei couldn't care about this matter.
