Chapter 224 Making Buddha Bead Bracelet! ! !

The so-called money can make the mill push the devil.

at last.

After Zhuang Zhou was willing to pay ten copper coins as freight.

The delivery man agreed happily.

They were chatting and laughing along the way, and told Zhuang Zhou a lot about the timber business.

It turns out that this guy's surname is Chen, and his full name is Chen Xiang.

It's Li Liangzhi's shop who is responsible for delivery.

It's nearly half past ten in the morning.

The carriage finally arrived at Caotang Temple.

Zhuang Zhou was riding a motorcycle idling all this way.

After parking the car, Bento went to the temple to find Master Daoyue.

After explaining the purpose of his visit, Master Daoyue asked the young monk Bianji to find a special place to stack wood in a side courtyard that was not suitable for exposure to the sun.

It was approaching noon.

All the wood was moved to the side yard.

Zhuang Zhou asked Chen Xiang to go to the West Market Grocery Store to find Ma San to receive the reward.

This was all done in advance.

Chen Xiang didn't stay long after hearing this, and said goodbye to Zhuang Zhou without hesitation.

Next.

It’s time to process these woods into handicrafts.

So now it’s up to the monks.

But Zhuang Zhou was not in a hurry.

Slow work leads to careful work. Of course, with such good wood, the best treasures must be made.

Zhuang Zhou asked the young monk Bianji to gather together all the monks who knew carpentry.

Then start explaining to them clearly what to do next.

Because of the support of Master Daoyue.

The monks are very supportive.

Especially last night the solar lighting was on all night.

For the first time, the people in the temple saw a lamp that could shine without adding sesame oil.

In my heart, I regarded Zhuang Zhou as an immortal.

The monks who knew carpentry skills quickly gathered together.

Zhuang Zhou cleared his throat and said:

"Masters, Master Daoyue must have told you that as for me, I mainly want to make some Buddhist bead bracelets, and then wood carvings."

As he spoke, he looked at a younger monk and asked:

"What is your name, Master?"

The monk put his hands together and said:

"Back to Tan Yue, the poor monk's Dharma name is released."

"Master Shikong, can you make Buddhist beads?"

"Of course I will."

"it is good!"

Zhuang Zhou nodded and asked again:

"Then do you know anyone who can make wood carvings?"

Shi Kong turned around and looked, then said to an older monk:

"My master can make wood carvings, and he is also a top-notch craftsman in Chang'an."

"Oh, who is your master?"

At this time.

An old monk clasped his hands to Zhuang Zhou and said:

"Lao Na Huairu has met Tan Yue!"

"Master, you're welcome!"

then.

Zhuang Zhou explained some details about wood processing.

then.

Next is grouping.

Those who make Buddhist beads bracelets are divided into a group, led by monk Shikong.

Master Huairu is responsible for wood carving.

But there are less than ten people in Caotang Temple who can make wood carvings.

Most of them are still good at making Buddhist beads.

For example, the processing technology, the style of the wood, etc.

Zhuang Zhou knew that these timbers were hard to come by.

They must be fully utilized to realize their value.

So I explained the requirements for Buddhist beads one by one.

This time Zhuang Zhou plans to make several specifications of beads.

Can be worn by both men and women.

For women, it’s small beads.

About 0.8 to 1.2 cm.

For men, the beads are relatively larger.

About 1.2 to 1.5 cm.

Some even reach 1.5 to 1.8 centimeters.

of course.

Because there are some small materials in the wood.

Combined for customers who like simple style.

Zhuang Zhou also added one more specification.

Only 0.6 to 0.8 centimeters.

This can be said to be the smallest bead.

Can be used to make large beads.

Suitable for multiple lap wear.

Under the guidance of Master Huairu, Zhuang Zhou came to the carpentry room in the temple.

Although the facilities here are simple, they are sufficient to complete the processing of wood.

Not long after.

Zhuang Zhou saw the monks busy.

They operate tools skillfully, and various tools such as saws, planes, axes, and chisels are used extremely skillfully in their hands.

Zhuang Zhou, on the other hand, was like a supervisor, putting forward his own opinions from time to time.

After all, this is our first time working together!

A lot of things have to be adjusted.

……

noon.

Zhuang Zhou had his vegetarian meal in the temple.

Eat from the same pot as the monks.

That’s really a vegetarian diet!

But Yuchi Yiseng didn't seem to care at all.

Even while eating, I was looking at and pondering pictures of ladies.

Many monks did not dare to sit next to him.

There is nothing we can do!

Those pictures of ladies are so beautiful.

Many monks saw this and were not strong enough.

On the contrary, the little monk Bian Ji watched it with great interest.

Zhuang Zhou saw all this.

I thought to myself.

No wonder this guy dares to get together with Princess Gaoyang in the future.

Sure enough, there is an obsession in my heart!

It seems that we have to think of a way to keep the little monk Bianji completely away from the mortal world.

Had lunch.

Zhuang Zhou asked Bianji to find a table and made tea in the side courtyard.

Then lie down in a chair and take a nap.

Whenever any monk has a problem.

Or they don’t quite understand the intention of the production.

You can ask Zhuang Zhou in time.

Until late afternoon.

Finally, the first rosewood bead was polished.

Zhuang Zhou picked up the beads and looked at them carefully.

This bead is round, plump and smooth as a mirror.

It is indeed a rare masterpiece.

Zhuang Zhou was very satisfied with this, nodded and said:

“Just make it like this.”

Everything is great.

It’s just extremely time-consuming.

After all, this is all handmade.

Seeing the sky getting dark.

The solar lamp lit up slightly again.

Zhuang Zhou thought it was time to return to the city.

Then he called Bianji and asked him to keep an eye on them.

He will come again tomorrow morning.

Bring whatever you need for the temple.

When Zhuang Zhou returned to the city, it was already dark.

As soon as she returned to Zhuang Mansion, Wu Zetian ran to the gate to greet Zhuang Zhou.

"Brother, you are finally back!"

Zhuang Zhou took off his helmet, shook his head and asked:

"What's wrong? Is there anything going on in the house?"

"A big sister came today and said she was looking for you?"

"Who!"

Wu Zetian shook her little head and said:

"I don't know her, but she is very familiar with Sister Hongyu."

Zhuang Zhou thought for a while, but he didn't expect who it would be.

I guess she should be Hongyu's good sister.

After all, she was once the courtesan of Chang'an.

Naturally, there will be some good sisters.

Now that Hongyu has redeemed herself, the sisters have not seen each other for a long time.

It is also appropriate to get together.

After Zhuang Zhou led Wu Zetian into the mansion, he closed the door.

When you come to the backyard.

Hongyu was already standing under the eaves of the corridor, seemingly waiting for Zhuang Zhou.

"Young Master is back? Have you had dinner?"

Zhuang Zhou hummed:

"A vegetarian meal in the temple. By the way, is anyone coming to see me today?"

"Oh! Sister Qian is here to talk to you about making clothes."

It turned out to be her!

"Then I'll go there early tomorrow morning. I may not go back home in the next few days, so I'll stay at Caotang Temple."

When Hongyu heard this, she seemed a little disappointed.

Zhuang Zhou thought she was worried about the safety of the house.

After thinking for a while I said:

"You don't have to worry. I've already asked Ma San to recruit servants. Tomorrow I'll ask Niu Jiujin and the others to come over and take care of the yard."

"Sir, I'm not worried about this...I..."

Hongyu stopped talking, glanced at the little girl Wu Zetian and said:

"It's so late, why don't you go to bed?"

"Big brother has just come back. I want to talk to him."

at this time.

Yang walked out of her room, glanced at Wu Zetian and said:

"Zhao'er, come in and go to bed. The young master has been busy all day and needs to rest!"

Wu Zhao saw Zhuang Zhou's tired face:

"Brother, are you tired?"

"Kinda, go to bed!"

Wu Zhao snorted and had no choice but to say:

"Then big brother, you should rest early."

Wu Zhao entered the house.

Yang took advantage of the situation and closed the door.

Seeing this, Zhuang Zhou turned around and walked towards the east wing.

Just listen to this moment.

Hongyu said from behind:

"Master, do you need me to relieve your fatigue tonight?"

Zhuang Zhou actually really wanted to relieve her fatigue.

But after thinking about it, I said:

"You have just recovered from a serious illness, so don't bother yourself! Go to bed early!"

But I heard Hongyu whisper:

"Young master, I forgot that I still have skills!"
