Yang Ping curled his lips and said, "You are a tycoon for nothing. Let me tell you, it's not one stalk, it's a catty!"
"What? A hundred yuan a catty? Heavens, our bamboo shoots are all so huge. Wouldn't a bamboo shoot be worth a few hundred? "someone exclaimed.
Wang Yougui's eyes lit up!
Yang Ping said, "That's right. A bamboo shoot is worth a few hundred! Let's not talk about that. Even ordinary winter bamboo shoots shipped from the south cost about eight to nine yuan a catty. The good ones can be sold for ten to twenty yuan a catty. And our bamboo shoots are better than those in every aspect. Therefore, it's not a problem to sell them for tens of yuan a catty! And how much is the corn we grow worth per catty? Fifty cents? Sixty cents? If I remember correctly, it was only two to three cents a catty last year, right? I won't calculate this for all of you. All of you can tell at a glance. Another important point is that the processed products of the bamboo shoots are equally expensive. Dried bamboo shoots, bamboo shoots, pickled vegetables, etc. The bamboo matures in a year. It can be chopped down to make furniture, mats, and all sorts of things. That's money! Our Frost Bamboo is much prettier than the bamboo shoots sold outside. Wow, I can't continue. Just thinking about it is money. "
Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw the beautiful future Yang Ping described.
Tan Juguo added, "In addition, there are no bamboo forests in the northeast. Our bamboo forests are rare. Didn't Abbot Fangzheng allow us to dig a hundred mountaintop bamboo shoots a day? I think we should use this as a selling point! Only a tiny bit of those bamboo shoots can be sold as a form of advertising. If you want to eat good bamboo shoots, come to our One Finger Village. Look at the bamboo forest and eat bamboo shoots! Our One Finger Village will develop tourism and rural tourism! "
"That's good!"
Everyone engaged in a flurry of discussion. Soon, they figured out an economic system that revolved around bamboo. Then, it was time to implement it. However, the village had no money. That was a huge problem. Thankfully, Yang Hua was now a tycoon. Chen Jin's son was also quite wealthy. If the entire village mobilized, nothing seemed to be a problem.
In the following days, with the new direction established, the villagers stopped selling mountaintop bamboo shoots. Want to eat it? Sure, come to the village to eat it!
Indeed, it attracted a large number of tourists who came to eat the bamboo shoots. Some people heard that the bamboo shoots were plucked from the mountain and went up the mountain out of curiosity. When they saw One Finger Monastery, they went in to pay their respects …
Instantly, Fangzheng's One Finger Monastery's incense offerings flourished again.
Fangzheng looked at the people coming and going in One Finger Monastery and smiled happily. "Indeed, an eye for an eye. Doing good to others is doing good to yourself. Amitabha … "
As for what the people at the foot of the mountain did, Fangzheng no longer cared. He wasn't a businessman. All he needed to do was recite the scriptures in peace and answer their questions. Of course, what they asked the most was whether they could dig up two bamboo shoots or whether they could tie a leash for the dog.
There were even tourists who came with huge chains, afraid that Fangzheng didn't have them …
That night, when Lone Wolf came back from work and saw the metal chain, he was so angry that he howled. He swore that as long as he was around, no one would be able to dig up his bamboo shoots!
With regards to this, Fangzheng only smiled. It was obviously a good thing that Lone Wolf could fulfill his duties.
However that day, Fangzheng welcomed a special guest. At that moment, the sky was beginning to brighten. The other visitors had yet to arrive. Not long after Fangzheng opened the door, a person stepped into One Finger Monastery and stood under the bodhi tree.
When Fangzheng came out of the temple hall, he was stunned rooted to the ground. The person was a Daoist priest!
He was dressed in loose sleeves and had a lapel that reached his calves. He was made of many layers of coarse cloth, making him appear clumsy and heavy. He had a goatee, and his handsome face looked a little carefree. He waved his hands and looked up at the bodhi tree. He marveled, "There's indeed such a wondrous tree. Born in the south and grown in the north. Is this courting death or indulging oneself? Haha! "
Fangzheng pressed his palms together. "Amitabha. Patron, this tree is indeed unique. It can be considered courting death."
The Daoist priest was taken aback. He never expected the monk to say such a thing. He chuckled. "Heavenly Lord of the Immeasurable, This Penniless Priest is Perfected Letian from Tongtian Daoist Temple. Venerable One, how should I address you? "
"This Penniless Monk is One Finger Monastery's Fangzheng." Fangzheng did not mention his identity, so he naturally did not say it out loud. He did not want others to think that he was using his status to oppress him.
Perfected Letian smiled. "So it's Venerable Fangzheng. This Penniless Priest has long heard of you. This Penniless Priest came specially to pay you a visit. Hmm … That's not rude, right?" Perfected Letian had been singing in all seriousness a moment ago, but in a blink of an eye, he revealed the playfulness of a child.
Upon seeing this scene, Fangzheng could not help but laugh. He knew that Daoism pursued a pure and innocent nature. It was different from Buddhism. However, Fangzheng's lineage was also different from most Buddhist disciples. At the very least, Fangzheng was the type that went astray. He did not have many things that belonged to traditional masters.
Fangzheng smiled. "It's not rude."
"That's good. Do you have water? This Penniless Priest came in a hurry and is a little thirsty. Can I get a bowl of water to drink? "With that said, Perfected Letian shot a glance at the Skanda at the door. He knew that this place did not accept traveling monks.
Fangzheng nodded and personally went to the kitchen to scoop a bowl of water.
Perfected Letian received it and downed it in one gulp. Then he exclaimed, "Ah … Delicious! Delicious! Really delicious! Venerable Fangzheng's temple sure is unique. It's much better than This Penniless Priest's tiny Daoist temple. The water is delicious too. "
Fangzheng smiled. "Perfected One, is there a reason for your visit?"
"Nothing much. Since I have nothing to do, I came out for a walk. I'll look at the sky and the earth. I'm just taking a stroll. "As Perfected Letian spoke, he saw a golden beam emit from afar. He smiled happily." The sun has appeared. Hehe, how beautiful. "
"Uh, have you never seen a sunrise before?" Fangzheng was puzzled. It was only a sunrise. It was amazing to see it for the first time, but wouldn't it be the same over time?
To his surprise, Perfected Letian shook his head. "I see it every day, but it's not enough. Look at the flowers, grass, and trees. Hehe, how beautiful are they? " As he spoke, Perfected Letian exuded a carefree aura. He seemed to have a halo of happiness around him. He was happy with everything he saw. It was as though every ordinary object had its own splendor in his eyes.
Fangzheng looked at Letian and fell into thought.
At that moment, Red Boy came out. When he saw Perfected Letian, he scoffed. "Where did this Ox Nose come from?"
Letian was taken aback. Fangzheng was stunned as he hurriedly said, "Jingxin, don't be rude. Apologize!"
Red Boy was extremely displeased. He squirmed and did not wish to apologize. When Perfected Letian saw this, he laughed out loud. "Venerable One, there's no need to blame me. This Penniless Priest is really an Ox Nose. This little guy is speaking the truth and not lying. There's nothing to blame. Little guy, your getup is quite interesting. What's your name? "
