The shop that Zhou Qin is interested in is a street-facing shop on the Tiannan City Pedestrian Street. It has a two-story building and is about more than 300 square meters. It used to be a small electrical appliance store, but because it could not keep up with the development of the times, the business gradually declined.
Large shopping malls were taken away, and the turnover dropped year after year. The boss couldn't bear it anymore, so he thought about transferring the store in his hand and starting some other business himself.
Li Yundong followed Zhou Qin to the store and looked at it from top to bottom. He whispered to Zhou Qin: "This store is good. It is spacious and bright, and it faces the street. But the rent is probably quite high. I don't know if we can afford this."
rent?"
Zhou Qin smiled and explained: "I asked about it, it's three hundred thousand a year."
Li Yundong was shocked: "Three hundred thousand a year? This is a lot of money!"
Zhou Qin said: "It's quite a lot. We rented two houses before, each costing more than 100,000 yuan a year. However, that is a residence and this one is a street shop, so the price is naturally high."
Li Yundong pondered to himself for a while, then turned to Ziyuan and asked: "Ziyuan, what do you think?"
Ziyuan was a little distracted and said blankly: "Ah? What did you say?"
Li Yundong was secretly surprised. He had never seen Ziyuan look like this before. He couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong with you? You seem to have something on your mind?"
Ziyuan calmed down and smiled slightly: "Nothing, are you asking about the rent?"
Seeing that she refused to tell, Li Yundong stopped asking and looked for an opportunity to ask again in private. He said, "Yes, I think the price is a bit high. Three hundred thousand a year is quite a lot."
, even if it is paid once a year, all our money has been put in, let alone decoration and so on, and we will be stretched again by then."
Li Yundong continued: "Look, although we have a large amount of tea on hand, we can't open a teahouse with only Tieguanyin tea, right? We will definitely need to buy some tea by then, and then we will have money."
As he said this, Li Yundong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are when I'm not a boss. But now that I'm the boss, I realize that money really isn't money! I used to think that all practitioners can live without a penny.
There is no need to spend money on eating, now I realize that this is all bullshit!"
Ziyuan smiled and said: "Dharma and Wealth Couple, you can't practice without money. Great practitioners also have to eat, drink and have diarrhea. The theory of practice originated from traditional Chinese medicine. It is a scientific and rigorous matter. Even if it is explained by Western scientific theories
, some things can also be explained. The so-called law of conservation of energy can explain the rules of practice: a person cannot create a part of energy out of thin air. He must absorb and borrow the energy around him, or use it through eating, practicing, etc.
Excess energy is stored in the body and released when needed."
Zhou Qin on the side heard Ziyuan and Li Yundong suddenly talking about cultivation. She pricked up her ears and listened attentively. When she heard this, she suddenly asked: "Is fasting a lie?"
Ziyuan glanced at her and saw that she was sensitive and eager to learn, so she smiled approvingly and said, "No, whether it is ancient or modern, the art of fasting exists. It's just that it's slightly different from people's understanding."
Zhou Qin asked: "What are the differences?"
Ziyuan glanced at Li Yundong and said with a smile: "This is your apprentice, you explain?"
Li Yundong smiled and said: "Are you asking me? Okay, let me explain it."
Li Yundong said to Zhou Qin: "Bigu, also called broken valley, Juegu, as the name suggests, and you can see from the literal meaning, it actually means not eating whole grains. But most people think that bigu means not eating anything.
Eating is just eating the wind and drinking the dew. Think about it, if we, a large group of practitioners, all eat the wind and drink the dew one by one, how much money would we save? Am I so worried?"
Zhou Qin laughed: "But what about actually?"
Li Yundong laughed and said: "But in fact, this is a big mistake. The purpose of fasting is to remove the filth in the body, because people who eat whole grains will inevitably have urination and defecation, which is extremely dirty.
How can one become an immortal? But if one does not eat whole grains and grains, where will human nutrition come from? People always consume energy while living. Where does this consumed energy come from? Is it really just from eating wind and drinking dew?
Isn’t that a big joke?”
Zhou Qinyue was curious: "Where does the nutrition come from?"
Li Yundong smiled and said: "Where do you come from? Eat other things! Inevitating and inescaping means just not eating whole grains. If you eat other things, it is not whole grains!"
Zhou Qin was surprised and surprised: "No way? Then if you eat other things, you won't, um, have a bowel movement?"
Li Yundong burst out laughing: "You have to watch what you eat! "The Book of Northern Qi" once recorded a hermit practitioner in Langya Mountain. He practiced the art of fasting grains, but he ate pine nuts, atractylodes, poria and other herbal medicines every day.
"Old Book of Tang" also records a man named Wang Yuanzhi, who was also a practitioner of the art of big grains. What did he eat every day? Eat Ganoderma lucidum! Eat Ganoderma lucidum as rice! Of course, there is no need to eat whole grains!"
Zhou Qin opened his mouth wide: "No way, eating Ganoderma lucidum as food? How much does this meal cost?"
Ziyuan laughed and continued: "So, Dharma and Wealth Couple, do you now know why wealth ranks second? In the past, many practitioners in ancient times did not have well-off families and little money, but they yearned to practice.
, but I didn’t have money to buy all kinds of medicinal materials necessary for practice, so I went to the mountains to dig medicine and practice in the mountains.”
Zhou Qin sighed: "No wonder those practitioners lived in the mountains in ancient times, and all of them were proficient in traditional Chinese medicine. It turned out that they wanted to be self-sufficient. But why haven't we heard of these things in modern times?"
Ziyuan nodded and said: "In modern times, there is also such a thing as big grain. The "People's Daily" on January 7, 1988 once reported a 25-year-old man from Yuexingtang Village, Xiongjiapu District, Macheng City, Hubei Province.
Girl, this girl's name is Xiong Zaiding. She was seriously ill when she was fifteen years old. After she escaped from danger, she stopped eating. She didn't eat a grain of rice for ten years. After she recovered from the illness and got out of bed, she acted as before, talked and laughed freely. At that time, she thought
strange tale."
Li Yundong smiled and said: "This girl must have met some great practitioner and taken Bigu Pill or some other miraculous medicine."
Zi Yuan glanced at Li Yundong and nodded: "You guessed right! Zhang Tianshi from our Zhengyi Sect happened to be passing there that year and fed her the Immortal Bigu Pill, which saved her life."
Li Yundong asked curiously: "Then she didn't go to practice later?"
Ziyuan shook her head and said: "No, a serious illness burned out her cauldron. Even if she is rescued, it will only be a useless cauldron."
Zhou Qin asked curiously: "The Immortal Bigu Pill? Is there such a thing in this world?"
Ziyuan smiled and said, "Yes, I still remember the prescription!"
Zhou Qinqi asked: "Tell me about it?"
Ziyuan opened her mouth and said: "The Immortal Bigu Pill is made from Polygonatum odorifera, Polygonatum odoratum, sesame, Asparagus, jujube, black beans, Ganoderma lucidum, pine nuts, Atractylodes, mulberry, walnut, honey, Ophiopogon japonicus and other traditional Chinese medicines and ingredients, among which there are
Cinnabar, realgar, mica and other mineral medicines are used as medicinal preparations."
Zhou Qin was dumbfounded when he heard this: "My dear, these are high nutritional value health foods! That means you don't have to eat whole grains! How much does it cost to eat this every day?"
Li Yundong laughed loudly at this time: "Do you understand too?"
Ziyuan smiled and said: "Among the cultivation sects, only a very few sects with strong financial resources can practice Bigu cultivation, and only a very few heads and direct descendants can take this magical Bigu pill. Ordinary sects, even the heads of
People can’t afford it, so we in the spiritual community also have another name for the Immortal Bigu Pill.”
Li Yundong and Zhou Qin asked in unison: "What's the other name?"
Zi Yuan pursed her lips and said happily, "The Pill of Bankruptcy!"
After saying that, the three of them laughed in unison.
Su Chan, who was making noise in the store, heard the three of them laughing, so she came over curiously, blinked and asked: "Yundong, what are you talking about, laughing so happily?"
Li Yundong chuckled and touched her head: "It's nothing. What do you think?"
Su Chan nodded excitedly: "Yeah, that's great. We all like it here!"
Li Yundong said to Zhou Qin: "Then let's rent here, I won't be bothered anymore!"
Zhou Qin saw that Li Yundong was frowning because of the high rent. He had been discussing with himself and Ziyuan for a long time and was hesitant. But now that Su Chan said a word, he immediately made the decision, which shows how important Su Chan is in his mind.
Zhou Qin sighed secretly in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She nodded with a smile and took out her mobile phone: "I'll call someone from the Commerce Bureau." After saying that, she walked aside to make a call.
Li Yundong smiled and nodded, wondering in his heart: Didn't Zhou Qin's official relationship break up because of her father's downfall? How could she still contact the Commercial Bureau?
But he quickly thought: The centipede insect is dead but not stiff. After all, the Zhou family still has some influence in Tiannan City.
But it didn't take long for Li Yundong to see Zhou Qin Tie walking over with a livid face. Li Yundong's heart skipped a beat and he asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Qinhan had a face on her face and didn't speak for a long time. After a while, she gritted her teeth and sneered: "The man surnamed Wang saw that our Zhou family was in ruins and left to drink tea. Now he is shaking his head." She said, puzzled.
He looked at Li Yundong: "Master, have you offended someone? As soon as I said it was you who wanted to rent this store, they immediately regretted it."
Li Yundong said in surprise: "Me? No? Wait..."
Li Yundong said thoughtfully: "To say that I have offended many people, in fact, there are quite a few people. Liu Chuan in the school is one of them. I have offended all the six sects in the spiritual world. Zhengyi Sect is one of them."
Not to mention. In this business world, I have offended Zheng Youming and Zhao Yougen."
Ziyuan said helplessly: "Remember last time on Tianlong Mountain, I asked you not to commit too many crimes, so as not to make it difficult in the future. Do you understand now? There are many villains in this world, and you can't even touch a finger in a head-on conflict.
They can crush them to death, but what they are best at is shooting cold arrows in the back, so you don’t even know who is hurting you.”
Li Yundong smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, Master Ziyuan has taught you a lesson! What should we do now? Zhou Qin, is there any room for maneuver?"
Zhou Qin shook his head and said: "If my father was still in his position, naturally nothing would be a problem. But now..."
Li Yundong didn't want Zhou Qin to bear the psychological burden. Although he was secretly unhappy, he still smiled and persuaded her: "It's okay. Tang Sanzang will encounter 9981 difficulties when he goes to the West to learn scriptures. Our difficulties are nothing.
.”
Zhou Qin sighed: "The shops here are the most ideal, but other shops are not very ideal."
Li Yundong smiled and said to Su Chan: "Go and call your uncles and sisters, let's go."
When Su Chan saw that things were not going well, she responded obediently, said hello to Hu Chanmen, and the group of people left the shop together.
After arriving at the pedestrian street, Zhou Qin sighed: "Master, it's all my fault. If I just..."
Li Yundong didn't wait for her to finish speaking, so he interrupted her and said with a smile: "Don't say it, it's not your fault. As the saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and it will be straight when the boat reaches the bridge! There must be a way.
, If it really doesn’t work, it’s okay not to rent here. Let’s go see if there are any good shops in other places.”
The others nodded one after another, and when they were about to leave, they suddenly heard an old voice shouting in surprise and joy: "Little miracle doctor?"
The voice sounded familiar to Li Yundong, but he didn't take it to heart. Instead, Zhou Qin's heart moved. She turned around and took a closer look. She saw a man wearing a dark blue short coat and a pair of navy blue lining.
The old lady in cloth shoes was looking at her with a smile on her face.
Zhou Qin recognized that the old lady in front of him was the old lady with whom he had a close relationship when he was hospitalized. She was surprised and happy, and shouted: "Old Mrs. Xu!"
