Wang Yougui glared at Dog Song. Dog Song quickly shut up and quietly moved the wood.
Upon hearing the woman's words, Fangzheng's face blushed slightly. However, he could tell that the woman's words were mainly to express how much she valued Fangzheng. Of course, he was also a little curious. If he were to renounce asceticism, would this girl really be willing to leave with him?
Lone Wolf, who had come down with Fangzheng, whispered, "Master, do it. Marry her and you will be rich …"
Fangzheng secretly kicked his butt and whispered, "Marry? What are you going to use to marry her? To marry an ordinary girl, one would need a house and a car. This girl … would probably need to buy an island or an aircraft carrier … "
Lone Wolf said decisively, "If it's such a waste of money, then what else is there to say? Master, let's go home. "
Fangzheng: "…"
Lone Wolf had just lifted her foot when she heard the woman behind her say, "If Master really likes me, I won't take a single cent. I'll pay you one billion instead!"
Lone Wolf decisively put down his claws and flicked his large tail. He whispered, "Master, have a safe journey. I won't be sending you off."
Fangzheng raised his leg and kicked the silly dog, sending it flying more than a meter away. He had never seen such a bastard disciple. He had betrayed his master!
Fangzheng pressed his palms together. "Patron, you must be joking. This Penniless Monk is a monk, so how can he talk about marriage? Benefactor, why are you doing this? "
Fangzheng did not wish to wrangle over such a useless matter. No matter how much he wrangled, so what if he offered a sky-high price? It was as if he could convince the system to allow him to renounce asceticism.
Hence, Fangzheng decisively changed the topic.
The woman pursed her lips and smiled, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Nguyen Anh Chu, and Nguyen Vo Hong is my father."
Fangzheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. "As expected."
Fangzheng was truly afraid that a fangirl would cling onto him and refuse to let him go. That would truly be troublesome.
Fangzheng said, "So it's Patron Ruan. Please greet your father on This Penniless Monk's behalf."
Nguyen Anh Chu said with a smile, "My father has been busy recently, so he didn't have time to visit you. Please don't blame him."
Fangzheng shook his head. "This Penniless Monk is just a monk in the mountains. How can there be a need to pay respects?"
At this moment, Wang Yougui stepped forward and said, "Since the two of you know each other, there's no need to stand on ceremony. Let's go and have a seat in the house. We can talk about it slowly. "
When Fangzheng saw Wang Yougui come over, he knew that the fellow had other intentions. However, Fangzheng didn't expose him. He nodded and brought Nguyen Anh Chu to the village council.
Everyone took their seats, and Wang Yougui poured tea.
After Nguyen Anh Chu took a sip, she said in surprise, "This tea … has a unique taste. It tastes fresh and refreshing. While it moisturizes the throat, it can also refresh the mind."
Wang Yougui chuckled and said, "This is Frost Bamboo tea unique to our Mt. One Finger. What you are drinking is Frost Bamboo Sharp Tea. It's made by frying the tender leaves that emerge when Frost Bamboo is growing. It can be considered the best among Frost Bamboo teas. "
Nguyen Anh Chu praised, "I've long heard of Frost Bamboo. I knew it was magical, but I didn't expect it to be so magical. This taste is indeed very good. I wonder how much it can be produced? "
Wang Yougui said, "The output can't be considered a lot, but in a year, there should be at least a few thousand catties. If it's slightly worse than this, we can produce tens of thousands of catties. There's also the tea brewed with Frost Bamboo meat. The taste is a little worse, but the taste isn't bad. That's a lot. We can produce more than a hundred thousand catties a year. However, this will destroy the ecology. Therefore, one-tenth of the number I just mentioned is our annual output. Hehe … "
Nguyen Anh Chu nodded slightly and said, "Is that so? That's a little too little. However, this tea is of the best quality. It's rare and precious, so it's a good business. By the way, you just said that this is only a small top-grade tea? What about the real top-grade tea? "
Wang Yougui said with a bitter smile, "Only One Finger Monastery has the real top-grade tea. I estimate that it can't produce much in a year."
Wang Yougui looked at Fangzheng.
Fangzheng was taken aback. How much? How would he know!? As a monk, he ate and slept every day. When had he ever cared about this? After all, he didn't lack food and drink …
However, looking at the two of them, it would be troublesome if he didn't say a number.
Hence, Fangzheng said, "About one to two catties."
When Wang Yougui and Nguyen Anh Chu heard that, they exclaimed at the same time, "How much?"
Fangzheng thought that he had said too little, so he thought for a moment and said, "About 1.5 catties."
Wang Yougui exclaimed, "That much?"
Nguyen Anh Chu exclaimed, "So little?"
Then, the two of them looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes …
Fangzheng was completely speechless. Was this a lot or a little?
Nguyen Anh Chu asked with a blank look, "How much?"
Wang Yougui said with a bitter smile, "It's much more than I expected. You asked this question because you don't know how precious the Frost Bamboo on the mountain is. I wonder how good the Frost Bamboo tea on the mountain is … "
Nguyen Anh Chu looked at Wang Yougui's intoxicated look and was somewhat curious. However, she was still unconvinced. "It can't be better than Da Hong Pao, right?"
Wang Yougui said, "I've never drunk Da Hong Pao. That thing only produces about three to five catties a year. It's gone once the higher-ups give it a share, so I won't evaluate it. However, the Frost Bamboo tea on the mountain is definitely the best of the best! Abbot Fangzheng, I have to discuss something with you. Look, the tender leaves of the Frost Bamboo are so good. Can I pluck some from time to time and study how to stir-fry them into supreme-grade tea? "
Fangzheng said with a bitter smile, "This Penniless Monk knows nothing about stir-frying tea. Usually, he plucks them and soaks them in water to drink. Since you have the intention, feel free to do so. "
Wang Yougui was immediately overjoyed when he heard that. "That's good! Don't worry, I'll only use a little each time. I have to figure out the most suitable stir-frying method for Frost Bamboo tea! Haha … "
Nguyen Anh Chu looked at the two people in front of her and then at the tea in her bowl. She asked, "Is there such a huge difference between the one on the mountain and the one at the foot of the mountain?"
Wang Yougui said with a smile, "That's the sky on the mountain. What we are drinking now is just dirt … There's no comparison."
Nguyen Anh Chu was even more curious, but she immediately suppressed her curiosity. Instead, she recalled her goal for coming and said to Fangzheng, "Master, I'm here mainly to hand over the timber to you. That's the good timber that my father got everyone to search for all over the world after you left. My father said that only a monastery made of wood is worthy of your status. In addition, we hired a large number of craftsmen. When spring comes and the frozen soil melts, we will start work on the mountain. "
Fangzheng pressed his palms together. "Amitabha. Patron, when you return, please thank Patron Nguyen on behalf of This Penniless Monk."
Nguyen Anh Chu said with a smile, "In that case, Master will accept it?"
Fangzheng said, "This Penniless Monk is thick-skinned."
