Just as Fangzheng was about to say something, he saw Dog Song yell as he walked over, panting heavily. In his hand was a brocade box. When he came in front of Fangzheng, he sat by the door and stuffed the mooncake box into Red Boy's hands. He shouted, "Abbot … Abbot Fang, here's a mooncake for you! Fuck … Chen Long … fly away! I'm exhausted. "
He had to pick up one and pick up two. He couldn't possibly pick up Chen Long's but not Dog Song's, right? Therefore, Fangzheng nodded.
Red Boy immediately took it and said with a smile, "Although it's not enough, everyone has a share, hehe …"
Dog Song also caught his breath and said, "I hired a master chef to make this by hand. The raw materials are all imported, and the eggs inside are laid by our own hens. Very good … Uh … Eggs … Holy shit! Abbot, it seems like you can't eat eggs. " When Dog Song said this, he almost cried. He only wanted to get the best, but he forgot about the eggs. He wanted to cry but had no tears.
Fangzheng was surprised. He never expected Dog Song to be so considerate. Although Fangzheng had previously helped Dog Song turn over a new leaf, Dog Song had indeed helped Fangzheng quite a bit. He basically trusted Fangzheng unconditionally and was available at his beck and call. This way of thanking him had long since repaid the kindness of that day.
Fangzheng pressed his palms together. "Patrons, thank you. Benefactor Song, your sincerity is more important than anything else. This poor monk appreciates your kindness. "
"This … Sigh. Abbot Fangzheng, don't stand on ceremony. There's no need to thank me or you won't be able to thank me in time, "said Dog Song as he waved his hand.
"Can't thank me enough? What do you mean? "Fangzheng was stunned.
Just at this moment, a clamor sounded. Looking up, he saw a large group of people queuing up.
"Amitabha. Benefactors, what are you doing?" Although Fangzheng had vaguely guessed the answer, he still found it unbelievable when faced with so many people.
"Abbot Fangzheng, everyone remembers how well you treated everyone. Isn't it because of the festival? Everyone is here to thank you. I bought some mooncakes for you. Is it a festival? Eating mooncakes. "Wang Yougui chuckled.
Then Fangzheng saw a box at his house and a box at his house. Soon, there was a pile of mooncakes the height of a person at the monastery's entrance!
Just a moment ago, Red Boy was worried about not having enough mooncakes to eat, but the next moment, he was worried about the mountain of mooncakes. How was he supposed to eat them? The little fellow furrowed his brows.
At first, Lone Wolf was drooling. Later on, he kept drinking water. Looking at so many mooncakes, he felt thirsty …
Monkey was silently circling the mooncake mountain and chanting something. Those who didn't know would think that he was chanting Buddhist scriptures, but Red Boy and Lone Wolf could hear him clearly. He was clearly saying, "I've never eaten ice skin mooncakes before. The bean paste ones should be rather sweet. I'll try them later. The egg fillings can't be eaten. Pass. I wonder what kind of five nuts the fillings are. How does it taste …" Just as Monkey's eyes were glowing red and he was prepared to eat the most beautiful mooncakes of the year …
Fangzheng finally understood the meaning behind Dog Song's words. Indeed, there was no way he could thank all of them. The people he had helped in the past had come. The apprentices who had learned bamboo carving from One Finger Village had come. Nearly everyone in One Finger Village had come. Fatty, Monkey, and company had come … Fangzheng was already satisfied seeing these people. Everyone had not come for his divine powers or anything else. They had come out of respect and gratitude for him. Such gratitude was better than anything else! It felt great!
Fangzheng said, "Amitabha. Patrons, thank you for your kind intentions. This Penniless Monk won't be able to finish so many mooncakes. Besides, there are quite a number of egg mooncakes. This Penniless Monk won't be able to finish them either. "
"Ah …" Everyone was taken aback. Looking at the mountain of mooncakes, it was true that whoever threw them would be worried.
Tan Juguo chuckled as he looked at Fangzheng as though he had figured something out. He asked, "Abbot Fangzheng, what do you plan on doing then?"
Fangzheng said, "Today is the mid-autumn festival. It's the night of the full moon, and it's a day of celebration. This Penniless Monk thinks that why don't everyone stay on the mountain to admire the moon?"
The moment that was said, everyone was taken aback. Clearly, no one had such a plan. But on second thought, if they did not come up the mountain, they would most likely watch television, brag, eat mooncakes, climb up the window to look at the moon before falling asleep. That would be meaningless. They might as well come up the mountain and join in the bustle.
Therefore, everyone agreed.
Tan Juguo revealed an expression as though he had expected it. At the same time, he nodded slightly. The way he looked at Fangzheng turned fonder and fonder. He thought to himself, "One Finger, this disciple of yours is becoming more and more promising. Heh heh. In the past, he would have to bear the consequences if he couldn't finish it. Now, he has learned to share and not waste. He's really getting better by the day. "
With this in mind, Tan Juguo said to everyone, "Since everyone has agreed, let's follow the old rules. Each family will provide a table and a few chairs! At the same time, bring a chair for our friends from outside. Don't be stingy and stingy! If there's one left behind, I'll personally go get it! "
"Come on, Secretary. At your age, who would be so shameless to let you go down the mountain to get it!? Friends from outside, follow me! I have plenty of chairs at home. Take as many as you need! "Dog Song shouted.
When Tan Juguo heard that, he took off his shoe and threw it at Dog Song. He scolded him jokingly, "You bastard. Do you think I'm old? I'll beat you to death! "
Dog Song ran off in fright as everyone roared with laughter.
Zhao Gang, Xue Zong, and Shao Min stood by the side watching. They were curious as to how Fangzheng would deal with so many mooncakes. Although they had never seen the monastery do such things, some people would choose to pack them up and sell them to nearby shops to earn a sum of money when they received too many mooncakes. Furthermore, mooncakes had a rather long shelf life. They could be eaten for quite a long time. If they encountered someone who was petty, they would rather let the mooncakes rot than give them to others.
As for Fangzheng's method, their eyes lit up. The more they looked at Fangzheng, the more they found their actions embarrassing. To be able to receive the heartfelt support of so many people, how could he be a selfish scum who would use a hundred-year-old tree as a facade?
After everyone dispersed, Shao Min immediately ran over.
When Fangzheng saw the crazy lass come again, he felt his scalp tingle. What sort of person could make others feel helpless? It was such kind people who were overly kind. He could neither speak nor beat them. If he tried to explain, the other party would retort back. How troublesome …
Just as Fangzheng was wondering how to escape, Shao Min suddenly stopped in front of Fangzheng and bowed. "Abbot Fangzheng, I'm sorry!"
Fangzheng was taken aback. When he saw the smiling Zhao Gang and Xue Zong, Fangzheng understood something. He pressed his palms together and bowed. "Amitabha. Patron, you are being polite."
"I'm really sorry. I was in the wrong previously. I thought too highly of myself," said Shao Min.
Fangzheng said, "Patron, This Penniless Monk is relieved that you can think that way. Otherwise, This Penniless Monk would be in a difficult position if you were to make This Penniless Monk move the bodhi tree again. "
