As the saying goes, money makes the world go round.
finally.
After Zhuang Zhou was willing to pay ten strings of copper coins as shipping fee.
The delivery man agreed readily.
They talked and laughed 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.
He is the one who is responsible for delivering goods in Li Liangzhi's shop.
It was almost half past ten in the morning.
The carriage finally arrived at Caotang Temple.
Zhuang Zhou was idling on his motorcycle all the way.
After parking the car, Bento went into the temple to find Master Dao Yue.
After explaining the purpose of their visit, Master Dao Yue asked the young monk Ban Ji to find a side yard that was not exposed to the sun to stack the wood.
It was almost 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 collect the reward.
This was all arranged in advance.
After hearing this, Chen Xiang didn't stay for long. He said goodbye to Zhuang Zhou and left happily.
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 produces fine work. With such good wood, of course the best treasure can be made.
Zhuang Zhou asked the young monk Bianji to gather together all the monks who knew carpentry.
Then start explaining to them what to do next.
Because of the support of Master Dao Yue.
The monks were very supportive.
Especially last night the solar lights were on all night.
For the first time, people in the temple saw a lamp that could glow without adding fragrant oil.
In their hearts, they all regarded Zhuang Zhou as an immortal.
The monks who were skilled in carpentry quickly gathered together.
Zhuang Zhou cleared his throat and said:
"Masters, I'm sure Master Daoyue has already told you that I mainly want to make some Buddhist beads and bracelets, and then some wood carvings."
As he spoke, he looked at a younger monk and asked:
"Master, what's your name?"
The monk put his hands together and said:
"To the donors, my Buddhist name is Shikong."
"Master Shikong, can you make Buddhist beads?"
"Of course I will."
"good!"
Zhuang Zhou nodded and asked again:
"Then do you know anyone who can do wood carving?"
Shi Kong turned his head and looked, then said to an older monk:
"My master is a woodcarver, and he's a top-notch expert in Chang'an."
"Oh, who is your master?"
At this time.
An old monk clasped his hands together and said to Zhuang Zhou:
"I am Huairu, the old monk, and I am honored to meet you, Benefactor!"
"Master, you're welcome!"
Then.
Zhuang Zhou then explained some details about wood processing.
then.
Next comes the grouping.
Those who make Buddhist beads bracelets are divided into a group, led by Monk Shikong.
Master Huairu was responsible for the wood carving.
But there are less than ten people in Caotang Temple who can do wood carving.
Most of them are skilled in making Buddhist beads.
For example, the processing technology, the style of the wood, etc.
Zhuang Zhou knew very well that these woods were hard to come by.
They must be fully utilized to realize their value.
So I explained the requirements of Buddhist beads one by one.
This time, Zhuang Zhou plans to make beads of several sizes.
It can be worn by both men and women.
For women, it's small beads.
About 0.8 to 1.2 centimeters.
For men, the beads are relatively larger.
About 1.2 to 1.5 cm.
Some even reach 1.5 to 1.8 centimeters.
certainly.
Because there are some small pieces in the wood.
It is suitable for customers who like simple style.
Zhuang Zhou also added an additional specification.
Only 0.6 to 0.8 centimeters.
This is arguably the smallest bead.
Can be used to make large beads.
Suitable for multiple wears.
Under the guidance of Master Huairu, Zhuang Zhou came to the carpentry workshop in the temple.
Although the facilities here are simple, they are sufficient to complete the wood processing.
Not long.
Zhuang Zhou saw the monks busy at work.
They operate tools skillfully, and they use saws, planes, axes, chisels and other tools extremely skillfully.
Zhuang Zhou was like a supervisor, offering his opinions from time to time.
After all, this is our first collaboration!
A lot of things need to be adjusted.
…
noon.
Zhuang Zhou ate vegetarian meals in the temple.
Eating from the same pot with the monks.
That really means he is a vegetarian!
But Yuchi Yiseng seemed not to care at all.
Even while eating, he was looking at and pondering the paintings of ladies.
As a result, many monks were afraid to sit next to him.
There’s no way!
Those ladies are so beautifully painted.
Seeing this, many monks lost their concentration.
On the contrary, the young monk Bianji was watching with great interest.
Zhuang Zhou saw all of this.
I pondered in my heart.
No wonder this guy dared to get involved with Princess Gaoyang later.
Sure enough, there is an obsession in my heart!
It seems that we have to think of a way to get the young monk Bianji away from the mundane world completely.
After lunch.
Zhuang Zhou asked Banji to find a table and made some tea in the side yard.
Then lie down on the chair and take a nap.
Any monk has a problem.
Or they don’t quite understand the production intention.
You can ask Zhuang Zhou in time.
Until evening.
Finally, the first rosewood bead was polished out.
