Chapter 1284 - Such a Dog

Chapter 1284: Such a Dog
Wang Yougui glared at Dog Song who hurriedly shut up. He silently moved the timber.
Upon hearing the woman’s words, Fangzheng’s face blushed slightly. However, he could also tell that the woman’s words were mostly to express her acknowledgment of him. Of course, he was also somewhat curious. If he were to renounce asceticism, would she really be willing to be with him?
Lone Wolf, who had followed Fangzheng down, whispered,
Master, do it. After you get married, you will be rich…

Fangzheng secretly kicked his butt as he whispered,
Marry? What do I use to marry her? People nowadays need to have a house and a car just to marry an ordinary lady. This lady… I reckon I’ll need to buy an island and an aircraft carrier…

Lone Wolf said decisively,
It’s such a waste of money. So why are we even talking about this? Master, let’s go home.

Fangzheng:
…

Just as Lone Wolf raised his foot, they heard the woman say,
If Master really likes me, I don’t want a single cent. I’ll pay you a billion yuan instead!

Lone Wolf decisively put down his paw and flicked his tail. He whispered,
Master, all the best. I won’t send you off.

Fangzheng raised his foot and sent the silly dog a meter away with a kick. He had never seen such a bastard disciple before. He actually sold out his master!
Fangzheng pressed his palms together and said,
Patron, you must be joking. This Penniless Monk is a monk. How can he talk about marriage? Patron, why do this?

Fangzheng did not wish to talk about such useless matters. So what if he was offered a sky-high price? It was not like he could convince the System to let him renounce asceticism.
Therefore, Fangzheng decisively changed the topic.
The woman smiled and said,
Let me introduce myself. My name is Nguyen Anh Chu. Nguyen Vo Hong is my father.

Fangzheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. He thought,
Indeed.

It was good that he knew the bottom of this matter. Fangzheng was really afraid that he couldn’t get rid of her. That would be truly troublesome.

Fangzheng said,
So it’s Patron Nguyen. Patron, please send my greetings to your father on behalf of This Penniless Monk.

Nguyen Anh Chu smiled and said,
My father has been busy recently and doesn’t have the time to pay his respects. Master, please do not mind.

Fangzheng shook his head and said,
This Penniless Monk is just a normal monk on a mountain. There’s really no need for paying respects.

At that moment, Wang Yougui stepped forward and said,
Since you know each other, there’s no need to be so polite. Come and have a seat inside. You can have all the time to talk inside.

When Fangzheng saw Wang Yougui come over, he knew that the fellow was up to no good. However, Fangzheng did not point it out. He nodded and brought Nguyen Anh Chu to the village council.
Everyone sat down as Wang Yougui served them tea.
Nguyen Anh Chu took a sip and said in surprise,
This tea… is very unique. It has a refreshing taste. While it moistens my throat, it also awakens the mind.

Wang Yougui chuckled and said,
This is the Frost Bamboo tea that’s unique to Mt. One Finger. The one you drink is Frost Bamboo’s young tea. It’s brewed from the tender leaves of growing Frost Bamboo. They are made from frying the leaves. They can be considered as second best among Frost Bamboo tea.

Nguyen Anh Chu praised,
I’ve heard of the Frost Bamboo. I knew it was miraculous, but I never expected it to be this miraculous. This flavor is indeed very good. I wonder how the production is?

Wang Yougui said,
The production isn’t much, but in a year, it shouldn’t be a problem producing a few thousand kilograms. If it’s slightly inferior quality, we can produce tens of thousands of kilograms. There’s also the tea brewed by Frost Bamboo flesh. The taste is a little inferior, but it’s not bad. There’s a lot of that. We can produce about a hundred thousand kilograms a year. However, it is damaging to the ecosystem, so taking a tenth of the numbers I mentioned just now is our annual production. Hehe…

Nguyen Anh Chu nodded slightly and said,
That’s too little. However, this tea is excellent. It’s best if it’s rare and precious. It’s good business. By the way, did you just say that it’s only second best? What about the tea that’s best?

Wang Yougui said with a bitter smile,
Only One Finger Monastery has the best quality. It probably doesn’t produce much in a year.

Wang Yougui looked at Fangzheng.
Fangzheng was taken aback. How much could it produce? How would he know how much it could produce? As a monk, he just ate and slept all day. When had he ever cared about this? He didn’t care as long as he didn’t lack food.
However, looking at the two of them, it would be more troublesome if he did not say anything.
Hence, Fangzheng said,
About a kilogram.

When Wang Yougui and Nguyen Anh Chu heard that, they exclaimed,
How much?

Fangzheng thought that he had said too little, so he thought for a moment and said,
Maybe 1.5 kilograms?

Wang Yougui exclaimed,
That much?

Nguyen Anh Chu exclaimed,
That little?

Then, the two exchanged looks and saw the shock in each other’s eyes…
Fangzheng was rendered completely speechless. Is it too little or too much?
Nguyen Anh Chu asked blankly,
How much?

Wang Yougui said with a bitter smile,
It’s much more than I thought. You are asking this question because you don’t know how precious the Frost Bamboo on the mountain is. You have no idea how good the Frost Bamboo tea on the mountain is…

Nguyen Anh Chu looked at Wang Yougui’s intoxicated look and was somewhat curious. However, she said indignantly,
It can’t be any better than Da Hong Pao, right?

Wang Yougui said,
I’ve never drank the Da Hong Pao tea before. It only produces less than three kilograms a year. Once the brass take their share, there’s almost none left; therefore, I can’t comment on it. However, the Frost Bamboo tea on the mountain is definitely the best of the best! Abbot Fangzheng, I have to discuss something with you. Look, at how good the Frost Bamboo tender leaves are. Can I harvest some every once in a while to study how to fry them into top tea?

Fangzheng said with a bitter smile,
This Penniless Monk doesn’t know anything about frying tea. Usually, this Penniless Monk just plucks a few to soak in water for drinking. Since you are so kind, do as you please.

Wang Yougui was delighted when he heard that.
That’s good! Don’t worry. I’ll only use a tiny bit each time, I’ll definitely find the frying method that suits Frost Bamboo tea the best! Haha!

Nguyen Anh Chu looked at the two people in front of her and then looked at the tea in her bowl. She asked,
Is there such a huge difference between the mountaintop and the foot of the mountain?

Wang Yougui said with a smile,
The ones on the mountain are like heaven, and what we are drinking now is just dirt… There’s no comparison.

Nguyen Anh Chu was even more curious, but she immediately held back her impatience. Instead, she thought of her purpose for coming. She said to Fangzheng,
Master, I’m here to hand over the timber to you. That’s the fine timber that my father got people to search the entire world after you left. My father said that only a monastery made from such timber can match up to your stature. Also, we invited a large group of craftsmen. After spring, they can start work once the frozen soil thaws.

Fangzheng pressed his palms together.
Amitabha. Patron, please thank Patron Nguyen on behalf of This Penniless Monk when you return.

Nguyen Anh Chu smiled.
In that case, you are accepting it?


This Penniless Monk is rather thick-skinned.

Nguyen Anh Chu immediately beamed.
Master, you are indeed different from the others. You aren’t pretentious in any way. As expected of Master Indecent. You are forever different from others…
