Those who had nothing better to do stopped in their tracks, wishing to continue reading the story. They also took a picture and posted it on their WeChat Moments. "I met a silly monk who wanted to use this net to fish up mermaids. I want to see if he managed to fish up mermaids or if he was sent to a mental hospital. "
…
Fangzheng ignored them as he looked up at Shao Gang. "Patron Shao, is that your house?"
"No, it's just an office. This is my office." Shao Gang shook his head.
Shao Chong said, "My brother runs a small studio. That's his studio."
Fangzheng said, "Patron, I wonder if This Penniless Monk can go up and have a seat?"
"Oh? Master, aren't you going to fish up mermaids? "Before Shao Gang could say a word, a shop owner couldn't help but blurt out.
Everyone originally imagined that Fangzheng would be angry, but Fangzheng looked at him seriously and smiled. "I'll fish up later. There's no rush."
Pfft!
Upon hearing that, many people burst out laughing. This monk was just too interesting! This was the first time they were seeing someone speak nonsense so seriously! It was as though what he said was the truth. Everyone was even more interested in Fangzheng.
Although he felt that Fangzheng was speaking nonsense, Shao Gang's heart palpitated when he thought of Fangzheng's kick. He had a nagging feeling that the crazy monk wasn't simple, so he said, "Master, in that case, come up and have a seat. I happen to have a pot of good tea here. "
Fangzheng nodded and followed Shao Chong upstairs. However, Shao Chong ran very fast, so Fangzheng followed behind in no hurry.
Red Boy secretly asked, "Master, isn't that considered a lie? Why do I feel like you have lied several times today? We don't have such rules on the mountain, right? "
Fangzheng smiled. "When did This Penniless Monk lie? Of course there aren't such rules on the mountain. That's because there isn't anyone else cultivating on the mountain. If there were, there would be such rules. This Penniless Monk was only saying a rule that would definitely exist in the future. How can it be considered a lie? "
"Uh …" Red Boy was taken aback. "Master, are you really not planning on taking in any other disciples?"
Fangzheng sighed. "If it were possible, This Penniless Monk would also wish to take in tens of thousands of disciples. But seeing how all of you are behaving, This Penniless Monk has to forget about it. I've worried myself to death for the few of you. If a hundred thousand came, wouldn't I be annoyed to death? "
"Master, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?" Red Boy snorted. How could a master despise his disciple like this?
Fangzheng said, "I'm speaking the truth. Think about it. How much Crystal Rice is produced on our mountain? If a group of disciples really came, I reckon that they would eat me tomorrow so that I wouldn't starve to death. Of course, there are other reasons as well. Some things are not suitable for too many people to know. "
Red Boy smacked his lips. It seemed like what Fangzheng said made sense. With so many people, even eating would be a problem. He couldn't bear to share that bit of Crystal Rice with too many people. Eating more or less was secondary; the most important thing was sharing his rice! This won't do! Absolutely not! Hence, Red Boy made up his mind to fully support Fangzheng's decision!
"Master, what's with that mermaid? Don't tell me there are really mermaids in this world? I don't believe that there are no demons in your world! "Red Boy said with absolute certainty," You must be lying. "
Fangzheng chuckled and didn't explain. He said, "You will understand in a while."
At that moment, Shao Chong was already waiting by the door. He led Fangzheng and Red Boy in.
The moment he entered, Fangzheng saw a huge signboard hanging on the wall opposite him. On it was written: "Dawu Specialty Supplier." Looking around, there were indeed many beautifully packaged items on the shelves. Some of them Fangzheng recognized, while others he didn't.
At that moment, Shao Gang came out and said with a smile, "The two of us are in the local specialty business. These are all sorts of specialties from Dawu. Master, have you not seen them before? "
Fangzheng shook his head. "I've seen rice, lotus roots, and corn before, but This Penniless Monk really doesn't recognize those few."
Fangzheng pointed at something that looked like a green onion or garlic, as well as a green vegetable that was completely purple.
When Shao Gang heard that, he chuckled and said, "These are some of our specialty specialties. The thing that looks like a green onion but isn't a green onion is what we call Allium. Of course, Allium is produced in many places, but our Allium is different. This is Shu 'an Allium. It's a specialty of Hubei's Dawu City's Jiangxia District's Shu' an Village. A few years ago, it was approved by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine as a National Geographic Indication Product Protection Project. According to the Yuan Dynasty's' Summary of Farming and Mulberry ', back in the Southern Song Dynasty, Jiangxia District's Liangzi Lake began planting Allium on a large scale without any interruption. Although many county cities in Dawu have Allium, Shu' an's is the best. Shu 'an has Liangzi Lake, and due to its unique geographical environment and soil quality, the Allium it produces has a unique flavor. It has many layers, white color, crispy meat, and uniform size. In the Qing Dynasty, it was used as a tribute. During the Manchu Han Imperial Feast, Shu' an Allium had a place in it. "
As he spoke, Shao Gang picked up an Allium and peeled it open. Indeed, it had many layers and was white in color. When he gently peeled it open, there was a crisp sound as though fresh juices would burst out. Furthermore, the Allium was about the same size. As for the taste, it seemed to have the taste of garlic, but it was different. It had a unique sweetness to it.
As Shao Gang introduced, he brought Fangzheng into his office. Fangzheng discovered that Shao Gang's office was hung with all sorts of local specialties. There were also many product introductions on the wall.
Red Boy kept looking up when he suddenly interrupted, "Patron Shao, you also sell rice here? Isn't it said that northeast rice is the best? "
Shao Gang said with a smile, "The northeast's black soil is rich in nutrients. The temperature difference between day and night is huge, and rice has a long growth period. It's rich in nutrients and high in sugar content. It's indeed top-notch rice. However, our rice has its own uniqueness. This is the Fasi rice from Hubei's Dawu City's Jiangxia District, Fasi Town's Mount Guizi and the Golden Water River basin. The land there is fertile, and the rainfall is suitable. The geographical environment is unique, and the rice grains produced are uniform in shape. The color is bright, and the oil is transparent and clear. It's glass-like, and there are no white bellies. It's second to none among similar types of rice, and it has unique advantages. It's known as Fasi rice. Fasi rice is rich in nutrients and easy to digest. It has no side effects on stomach ulcers and other ailments. In the same year, it and Shu 'an Allium were listed in the National Geographic Indication Product Protection Catalogue.
Fasi rice has a long history, beginning before the Tang Dynasty. Legend has it that in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, a crown prince was born in Mount Guizi, and the Golden Water River was used as a moat. By irrigating the paddy with the Golden Water River's water, the rice produced is sticky and fragrant. It's delicious, comforting, and refreshing. It greatly increases one's appetite. Eating it over a long period of time can make one an immortal, so the locals gave it an elegant name — Water Osmanthus Immortal. Later, it was specially made for the crown prince's royal meals. "
When Red Boy heard that, he shook his head and said, "Tsk tsk, this bragging nearly made me believe it."
