Chapter 97: Dark Sword Silent 37

The lame monk replied, "This person is a habit of stealing. The day before yesterday, my temple was doing a great ritual. He took advantage of the lack of care from the monks in my temple and took action to steal the treasures of the temple town in my temple. He also hoped that the two donors would give me some advice."

Li Qinglin asked: "Isn't your temple treasure just a Buddha statue? How could he steal it?"

The monk said, "There is a treasure to maintain the temple, which is a Xuande furnace. This Xuande furnace has been passed down for many generations since it was collected by the small temple. It is usually treasured by the abbot in a safe place, and it is not easy for the monks in the temple to see it. It is only because my temple held a great ceremony for Huang Dacaizhu's mother the day before yesterday that the abbot took out a fire of incense to worship the Buddha. I don't know what method this guy used to steal the Xuande furnace that was lighting the Buddha's incense in the public. All the monks in my temple were chasing this person. Just now, I saw him standing at the entrance of the alley, and in a blink of an eye he disappeared. I also hoped that the two donors would look at the Buddha and give guidance to the monk. Amitabha!" The monk bowed deeply again.

"So that's how it is. This person is hateful!" Li Qinglin pointed at the direction where the thin man ran away and said to the monk: "He just walked over there. If you run faster, you can still catch up."

"Thank you, the two donors." After thanking the monk, he dragged his lame leg and chased after Li Qinglin pointed.

"Isn't it just an incense burner in the temple? What's there to steal?" Li Qinglin said as if he was disdainful.

Unexpectedly, Nokawa spoke and said, "Kun Kobayashi, if it is really a Xuande incense burner, it would be worth a lot of money."

"Oh? Really?" Li Qinglin asked.

"This Xuande furnace should have been made many years ago. It is said that... this, this, I can't explain it clearly for a while. It's really valuable anyway." Nokawa may have only a little understanding of this Xuande furnace, and he didn't say why the Xuande furnace is valuable for a long time.

While they were talking, the two arrived at the Liuhechun Restaurant. The guy at the entrance of the store enthusiastically welcomed them into the Liuhechun Restaurant's store.

"Please go upstairs, please give each of you a bowl of iced mung bean soup to get rid of the heat." The young man led the way in front.

"My man, let me ask you about something first. Why is Xuande Lu so valuable?" Li Qinglin grabbed the guy and asked.

"I don't understand this very much. Maybe the shopkeeper knows it, or do you ask him?" the young man said with a smile.

"This Xuande furnace is not an ordinary product. It is a royal special incense burner made by Emperor Xuande of the Ming Dynasty." At this moment, a fat and short middle-aged man sitting at a table in the lobby drinking iced mung bean soup said.

"Oh? This gentleman seems to be familiar with antiques. Can you tell us about this Xuande furnace? It is also possible for us to have a better understanding." Li Qinglin said with a smile.

While drinking mung bean soup, the fat white man said casually: "Okay, I'm waiting for someone, and there's still some time. If you want to hear it, I'll talk about this Xuande Furnace."

Li Qinglin pulled Yechuan and the two sat down at the table. Li Qinglin said, "Of course we want to hear it, so please give me more advice."

The guy brought two bowls of iced mung bean soup. Li Qinglin and Yechuan drank mung bean soup while listening to the fat white man talking about Xuande stove. In the old days, there was no refrigerator in the countryside. More particular rich families dug deep cellars underground, store the ice cubes in winter, and take them out to cool down in summer. Most families need to keep fresh and cold, and often put fresh goods into a bucket, and then hang the bucket in a deep well with a rope to cool down.

The so-called iced mung bean soup in Liuhechun has just been cooled from a deep well and then hung up. Although the temperature is not as low as the really iced mung bean soup, it is also very pleasant to drink such cold mung bean soup in this hot summer.

The iced mung bean soup with rock sugar is delicious, but it is not as attractive as the stories told by Fatty White. This Fatty White is very eloquent. He sat there and slowly drank the mung bean soup while slowly telling the origin, preciousness, market price, and authenticity. He also interspersed with some legends and short stories in the narrative, which made the entire narrative extremely vivid, and Ichiro Nokawa believed it and was stunned.

The fat white man was talking about the important points, and Nokawa was listening with relish. At this moment, someone leaned over at the door and looked into the store. This person was the thin man who ran away just now.

When the fat white man saw the man, he quickly stood up and waved to him. The thin man walked to the table with a smile. He sat down loudly, picked up a bowl of mung bean soup on the table and drank it.

The fat white man said a little complainingly: "Skinny Monkey, I have been waiting for a while. Why are you here until now?"

The skinny monkey just finished drinking mung bean soup. He wiped his mouth and said, "You don't know, those monks follow my butt every day and can't even shake it off. If the bald donkey had to chase it tightly today, I would have arrived. In order to get here early, I took several streets to shake it off. It's so hot that day, look at my sweat." As he said that, he turned around and let the fat white man see the sweat on his clothes behind him.

The fat white man didn't seem to trust him very much and said, "I know what you did! Have you brought the things?"

The thin monkey patted a cloth bag in his hand and said, "Since the person has come, of course the things have also been brought. Boss Qian, has the money brought it?"

It turns out that this fat white man’s surname is Qian and he is still a boss.

Boss Qian said with a little embarrassment: "Skinny Monkey, if you only have a big ocean, that's not a little money. You know how much the oceans are combined. It's really inconvenient for me to bring them with you. After we have agreed, I will ask my friend to send them immediately. We have one hand of money and the other hand goods, which is feasible?"

The thin monkey laughed at him and said, "I said, "I'm Fatty, Isn't it just five thousand oceans? You can't take it now? Besides, if you can't take it, you can't change it to gold bars? I advise you to make less trouble on the slut's belly at night, don't just focus on the happiness in front of you, and finally turn your body into a hollow big radish."

Boss Qian didn't care and said with a smile: "Shouhou, how much did you lose in your gambling? I don't know if others don't know. Let's talk less nonsense, don't laugh at anyone, take out the things."

The skinny monkey looked around and said angrily: "Boss Qian, there are so many people here. Is this place where you do these things?"

Boss Qian slapped his forehead and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I'm confused by you. I've already decided on the elegant seat upstairs, let's go upstairs to talk." After that, he got up and wanted to take the thin monkey upstairs.

Li Qinglin hurriedly stood up and stopped him, saying, "Boss Qian, we know what you are going to buy and sell. Neither of us brothers has seen what Xuande Lu looks like, so let's open our eyes this time."

As he said that, he turned to Shouhou and said, "Brother, my friend is also a generous buyer. If you have any good products, he might buy them too." Of course, the wider the sales, the better. Shouhou nodded and agreed.

Nokawa also said, "Yes, yes, we only look at it, we won't tell anyone."

Boss Qian was a little hesitant, but Shouhou didn't mind at all. He smiled and said, "Boss Qian, I, Shouhou, have been in my debut for a day or two. All friends on the road know that I do this. I am not afraid of stealing. What are you afraid of as a buyer?"
