My Side Job is a Trader

Zhang Xin did not choose to go directly to the expressway, but chose a road built around Taihu Lake.

Li Xueer looked towards the center of Taihu Lake, and couldn't help sighing: "Wow, is this Taihu Lake? It's so big!"

Zhang Xin said: "When I was a child, many times, the transportation task my family received was to go to some cities in Suzhou Province. At that time, there was no navigation system, and I could only navigate by looking at the map. There were only two main routes from Zhejiang Province to Suzhou Province. The Grand Canal, one is to venture across Taihu Lake and go directly to Sioux City. My parents usually chose the route across Taihu Lake in order to save fuel."

Li Xueer asked: "Why? Didn't you say that crossing Taihu Lake is risky?"

"Taihu Lake is very big. If there is a little wind, the wind and waves inside will be at least one meter high, so sometimes the cabin will be wet due to water ingress, and even the ship will sink. In short, the risk is not small. .

However, it is not easy to take the route of the Grand Canal. There are too many ships sailing in it, which is very congested and time-consuming. In comparison, it is more cost-effective to take a certain risk and cross Taihu Lake. The premise is to do it well. Be prepared to deal with wind and waves, especially the weather forecast should always pay attention. "

"It seems that my husband's experience is quite rich and colorful. People like us who grew up on land have never experienced it."

"It is precisely because of these unique life experiences that I have learned a lot since I was a child. Sometimes I will temporarily act as the helmsman and control the direction of the ship."

While driving and chatting, they soon arrived in Sioux City, headed directly towards Xishan, and soon entered the cross-lake bridge.

"Wow, this bridge is no less than some sea-crossing bridges, right?"

"It's not much different from some short-distance ones. The total length is 20 kilometers. It connects the West Mountain of Taihu Lake and Sioux City. In the past, there were only ferry boats. With the bridge, you can take a car directly. This bridge existed a long time ago. I remember that I I saw it when I was a kid and our family drove under the bridge."

Li Xueer is very interested in Zhang Xin's growth trajectory, so Zhang Xin is also willing to share some things with her.

Half an hour later, the family of four finally arrived at the Qingfeng Temple halfway up the mountain.

Parked the car on the side of the road, and the two led the baby into the Taoist temple.

Seeing Zhang Xin coming, the Taoist boy who greeted the guests took the initiative to go up to Jishou to say hello: "Hi brother, master said that if you come, go directly to the back mountain to find him."

Zhang Xin squeezed the Meridian Seal Jue, bowed back, and then took out a stack of banknotes that he had prepared and put them into the merit box. Daotong just glanced at it and stopped paying attention.

I have been to the Taoist temple a few times, so Zhang Xin is familiar with the road. Just as he left the steps, he saw Daoist Songfeng drinking tea and chatting with a monk on the stone table under the big tree. acquaintance.

Zhang Xin stepped forward and gave a slap, and said, "Fushou Wuliang Tianzun."

Daoist Songfeng also returned a salute, and then Zhang Xin did not forget to greet the monk: "Hello, master."

The monk clasped his hands together and said, "Hi, Master Zhang."

Although Li Xueer is not a religious person, she still follows Zhang Xin.

Taoist Master Songfeng introduced to Zhang Xin: "This is Master Liaochen from the Baiyun Temple in Sucheng. Monks, not those duty monks."

Zhang Xin is in awe. Only religious people can understand the true meaning of the word monk. Ordinary people call Buddhist disciples with bald heads uniformly called monks, but those who truly deserve the title of "monk" are all compassionate. An eminent monk with great merit.

Liao Chen clasped his hands together, and said modestly: "It's too much of a reward. The poor monk can't be called the 'big monk'. The benefactor can still call the poor monk by his dharma name."

Zhang Xin agreed, but he added the word "master" after Liao Chen to show respect, and Liao Chen didn't ask any more specific questions. After all, many people who knew him called him that and they were used to it.

Daoist Song Feng asked, "Did you drive through Sioux City from Zhejiang Province?"

Zhang Xin replied: "Yes, Xiao Xueer is filming in Xinchang, Zhejiang Province, no, just returned to Shanghai after filming, just thinking that I haven't seen you, Master, for a while, so I made a detour to visit you. "

"Okay, as long as you have this kind of intention, we Taoists don't pay much attention to these things."

Master Liaochen said: "But Taoism also pays attention to the origin and extinction of fate. Donor Zhang suddenly has the thought of coming to visit you, so naturally he has to follow his heart to come and have a look. This is in line with Taoism's thinking of conforming to the way of heaven."

The two little guys also looked very quiet, just staring at Chen's big bald head curiously, as if wondering why this person has no hair.

Liao Chen chuckled, beckoned the two little guys to come closer, and then put a string of prayer beads in his hand and a string of prayer beads on his wrist to the hands of the two little guys respectively.

Li Xueer quickly thanked Chen for the baby.

Zhang Xin also thanked: "Thank you, master, for letting the master spend money."

Daoist Songfeng smiled and said: "Not bad, the great monk is quite generous. Chaoxian, these two strings of things are precious treasures. Many rich people spend a lot of money just for these things."

Zhang Xin didn't feel anything at first, but after Taoist Songfeng said this, he also paid attention to it. He waved for the little ones to come over, then picked up Xiao Qingzheng, and wanted to pick up the rosary in his hand to observe.

As a result, as soon as I touched it, I felt a sense of coolness, and my whole body seemed to calm down. Zhang Xin knew that this string of rosary beads was also something like a feng shui town.

"Fengshui Township?"

Liaochen smiled silently, and Daoist Songfeng said: "To be precise, it should be a magic weapon. It is similar to the effect of Fengshui Township you said, and it belongs to Fengshui."

Zhang Xin knew the true value of this kind of thing. It was indeed as Daoist Songfeng said, many rich people spent a lot of money in order to get some feng shui items. It can be seen that these two things are precious.

Zhang Xin hurriedly said: "Master, this is really too precious. Isn't it inappropriate for you to give it to two little guys like this?"

Liao Chen said: "It's okay, the poor monk loves the two little guys very much, they are really too cute."

Zhang Xin struggled for a while and said, "Master, you don't think they have a predestined relationship with the Buddha, do you? I won't allow them to become monks."

"Hahaha, the benefactor is worrying too much. Although we are indeed destined, the poor monk can't do things that are difficult for others. Just rest assured."

When Li Xueer heard what Zhang Xin said, she quickly pulled the baby into her arms, worried that the baby would be infected if she stayed by Chen's side for a long time.

Amid the people's jokes, the sky gradually darkened, so everyone moved to the dining hall to eat. There were fish and meat on the table. Zhang Xin looked at Chen, then at Daoist Songfeng, and asked cautiously : "Master, there is a master here, is it inappropriate for us to do this?"

Daoist Songfeng said: "You just eat what you eat, and don't care what he does."

Liaochen smiled slightly, and said: "The poor monk has no fish or meat in his heart, so he can't see it in his eyes, don't worry about it as a benefactor."
