Chapter 94 But do good deeds

Chapter 94 But do good deeds
Xuan Miao untied the cart and tied up the mule before walking forward. She glanced at the little beggar, then at Pan Yun, and waved her hand, saying, "You guys go."

Pan Yun: "Fourth Senior Sister, she said her mother-in-law has some medicinal herbs, won't you come with us to see them?"

"You can handle it yourself, why should I do that?" Xuanmiao said, "I'll give you half an hour. I'll go to the kiln after I buy the medicine."

Pan Yun immediately agreed, took the little beggar and left.

The little beggar took them around in the alleys of the city, and finally they were getting farther and farther away from the city and the streets. The houses on both sides changed from brick and stone houses to stone houses, and then to half stone and half mud houses.

The road also changed from a bluestone brick road to a compacted dirt road, and then to a bumpy dirt road, the same as the one in their village.

Gradually, vegetable fields appeared on both sides, followed by rice fields that had just been harvested. As they walked further and further away, she turned around and led them into a thatched hut next to an earthen house.

A four-cornered space was supported by wood and covered with straw, and there was also a thatched curtain at the door.

The little beggar led them inside, lifted the curtain, and shouted, "Grandma."

Pan Yun walked into the shed. Because it was stuffy and damp, there was a musty smell mixed with the smell of mugwort.

You can see the thatched hut to the bottom at a glance, and there is no one inside.

The ground was still dirt, but it was compacted, with thatch and straw on both sides. There were traces of people lying there, but they were not big.

Pan Yun could tell at a glance that at least twelve people would sleep in the shed at night, so he asked, "How many people are there in your family?"

Little beggar: "Fourteen, including grandma, fifteen together."

Pan Jun asked: "What about them?"

Little beggar: "I went to work."

She greeted them like a little adult and carried the kettle to fetch and boil water.

Pan Yun stopped her and said, "Let's find mother-in-law back. Or I can take a look at where her herbs are."

The little beggar led them out, around the thatched hut and to the back.

Only then did they discover that there was a flat open space behind them. The weeds and stones had been cleared away, and there were several sacks on the ground with medicinal herbs drying on them.

Pan Yun went forward and found that they were all very common medicinal herbs, such as honeysuckle, tripterygium wilfordii, licorice, etc.

She picked them out and found that they were drying well, so she asked, "These can also be sold to the pharmacy, why sell them to us?"

Little beggar: "We sell it to the pharmacy, and the pharmacy adds money to sell it to you. Why don't we sell it to you and add a little money to it, so you can pay less. This way I earn more and you spend less. How good is that?"

Pan Yun praised: "You are really smart. Many people older than you can't figure this out."

Miaohe: "But..."

Miaozhen pulled her sleeve to stop her from saying anything.

Pan Yun asked them about the price they would sell the herbs to the pharmacy, and based on the current prices of the herbs in the pharmacy, he actually took a middle value and bought the herbs.

When Grandma Yu came back holding a child and leading another child by the hand, they had already packed the herbs and Pan Yun was counting the money for the little beggar.

Granny Yu quickly stopped her and pushed the money back, saying, "Young Taoist priests, are you from Mount Sanqing?"

Pan Yun nodded.

Granny Yu smiled and said, "I know you guys. If someone else came to buy, I would definitely sell it. But you may be short of other things in Sanqing Mountain, but not medicinal herbs."

Pan Yun: "Mother-in-law misunderstood. If we were not short of medicinal herbs in Sanqing Mountain, we wouldn't have to go down the mountain to buy them every month."

Grandma Yu shook her head firmly, "If you want to buy, you should buy medicinal herbs that are not available in Sanqing Mountain. They are precious medicinal herbs from outside. There is no medicinal herb from our land that is not available in Sanqing Mountain."

Granny Yu looked at them gently and said, "You are still young, so don't spend the temple's money on buying things. You will be punished by the teachers when you go back."

The little beggar became anxious: "Grandma~"

"Xiao Qi, don't make things difficult for the elders. Take them to the street quickly."

The little beggar responded dejectedly and was about to take Pan Yun and the others away.

Seeing that Grandma Yu insisted, Pan Yun thought about it and decided not to force her. She took out five amulets and two amulets for seeking wealth from her sleeve pocket and stuffed them into her pocket. "Grandma, take it. Give them the amulets for safety. These are amulets for seeking wealth. Just think of them as a good omen."

Grandma Yu took it with a smile and thanked Pan Yun.

Pan Yun saw her give a peace amulet and a wealth amulet to Xiao Qi, and also gave a peace amulet to the child in her hand and the child in her arms. She smiled slightly and turned away.

Xiao Qi led them to the street and said sadly, "I didn't expect that mother-in-law was unwilling to sell the herbs to you. Are you really buying our herbs out of kindness?"

Pan Yun nodded, "Yes, honeysuckle, licorice and tripterygium wilfordii are all common medicines, and there are a lot of them on Sanqing Mountain."

Xiao Qi sighed, but only once, and immediately cheered up and said, "Thank you, but don't do this again in the future. You should buy medicinal herbs when you need them."

Pan Yun nodded and asked Xiao Qi, "I'm going to buy some food now. I want to donate some food to the Salesian Home. Do you want your thatched hut?"

Xiao Qi nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, is this okay?"

"What's wrong with that?" Pan Yun said confidently, "I'm doing charity work, both for the orphanage and for you. What's the difference between you begging on the street and taking the rice I gave you?"

Xiao Qi thought about it seriously and said, "It's no different, little sister. Don't worry. When I get back, I will also let my brothers and sisters read good words to you. We will read them every time we eat the food you give us."

Pan Yun's lips curled up slightly, and he did not refuse. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the grain store."

Pan Yun chose the cheapest grain to buy. Now that the new grain had come in, the grain shops were all selling new grain. Although the autumn harvest had just ended, the price of grain had not changed much, still at 2.6 yuan per stone.

This is the price of rice. The second-grade rice, which contains more broken rice, costs two cents and four cents per stone.

Pan Yun still owed Tao Ji money, and the money he had now was all that was left after he broke the one or two taels of silver he had last time.

Pan Yun took out three strings of money, gave two strings to the waiter, counted out forty coins and gave them to him, selected the second-rate rice at 2.4 coins, and bought a stone directly.

Pan Yun: "Do you deliver to your door?"

One stone of rice is not a small amount. The waiter said, "It can be delivered within the city, but it cannot be delivered outside the city."

Pan Yun: "It's in the city, please send it to me."

Pan Yun let Xiao Qi lead the way and said to her, "Thank you for giving me the cake last time. I am a Taoist priest from Sanqing Temple. I believe in fate. You helped me before, and now I am helping you too. This is a good fate, so you don't need to take it too seriously."

Xiao Qi nodded with sparkling eyes, "I hope that everyone I help in the future will be like the little Taoist priest." In this way, she can help many, many people, and then receive help from many, many people.

Pan Yun: "Perhaps you can make a wish to the Sanqing Mountain God, maybe it will come true."

Xiao Qi's eyes lit up, "Is the Sanqing Mountain God effective?"

Pan Yun nodded, "I think it's very effective."

Miaozhen and Miaohe both turned their heads to look at her silently. Outsiders might not know, but everyone on the mountain knew that the master uncle and the junior master uncle were the direct disciples of the mountain god.

After watching Xiao Qi lead the farmhands carrying grain away, the spirit realm made a ding-dong sound, and the merit was +10.
Pan Yun's lips curled up slightly, and he turned around and said, "Let's go, let's go to the medicine shop to find Senior Sister."

Wang Xiaojing followed them silently, and when they got to the medicine shop, he was even more shocked to see Xuanmiao buying herbs worth dozens of taels of silver without blinking an eye.

He couldn't help but quietly ask Miaohe, "Is your Taoist temple so rich?"

Miaohe: "We don't have any money in our temple."

"A few dozen taels of silver to spend at will, don't you have any money?"

Miao He explained: "This is a medicine for body refining. It needs to be soaked once every ten days. It is a must-spend money."

Wang Xiaojing was disappointed, "Practicing martial arts costs so much..."

"There are free training methods, but they are definitely not as good or as fast as the ones that cost money," Miaohe said, "If you just want to learn some martial arts to protect yourself, you just need to practice diligently, but you don't need to take a medicinal bath."

Miaohe was a little envious of him, "Taking a medicinal bath is painful."

Wang Xiaojing didn't say anything.

After Xuanmiao bought the medicinal herbs, he took them to see the kiln.

The kiln is located on a hill outside Yushan County, not very far away.

The soil there is of good quality and has always been used for firing kilns. The porcelain produced in Yushan County is called Dukou Kiln.

As soon as Xuanmiao's mule cart entered the village, someone immediately approached her, "Master, are you here to buy porcelain? I have a lot of porcelain at home, including bowls, plates, and bottles of various colors."

Xuanmiao got off the car and said, "I want to burn and cast the statue of God."

When they heard that they were going to burn a statue of a god, most of the crowd surrounding them immediately dispersed, stepped back a few steps, and just watched the fun with their hands clasped.

It’s not that they don’t want to take this business, but it’s difficult to take it.

This statue is not easy to burn. It is large in size and requires fine workmanship. However, if there are any flaws, it will have to be redone, which is time-consuming and costly.

Judging from the clothes Xuanmiao and the others are wearing, they don’t look like wealthy Taoists.

In the end, only two families were left. After walking a little further, another family came running over and came up to listen to Xuanmiao's request.

Xuanmiao required the statue to be of the same height as the god, which should be 1.6 meters. One of the three families hesitated for a moment, wanting to back out but unwilling to do so.

Xuanmiao took out the blueprint.

As soon as he saw the drawings, he stopped hesitating and just bowed and left.

The remaining two families looked at each other and neither retreated.

Coincidentally, both families have the surname Yu and are relatives, having the same ancestor five generations ago.

The two of them looked at the blueprint carefully and felt that there were too many colors on it. In addition, the statue was the same height as the body of the god, which made it even more difficult to fire. So they asked, "Can it be made smaller? Generally, a statue of 1.2 meters is enough."

Xuanmiao: "If you are sitting, you can."

Pan Yun had only seen Pan Gong standing, but had never seen him sitting. But this was not difficult. He could just turn around and ask the god to appear and let him sit for a while.

She asked, “Is a seated statue easier to burn?”

The two said, "Not necessarily. It depends on how you sit and the color requirements. But if you are shorter, the success rate will be higher."

The two asked, "How much money are the Taoist priests prepared to give?"

Xuan Miao directly quoted the bottom price, "One hundred taels."

The Yu brothers frowned. The price was not low, but not high either. It was just that the success rate was very uncertain and they were not sure.
