Chapter 122 (1/2)
Chapter 122: Making Rice Wine
When he anxiously returned to the restaurant, Yuan Zhou was only one step away from missing the opening hours. Luckily, he barely made it.
Early next morning, Yuan Zhou rushed towards the comparatively nearer Xinglong Temple after the one-hour breakfast time. It was closest to his restaurant among the three temples and Yuan Zhou decided to go over there in the morning.
Yuan Zhou hurriedly got to the place and immediately bought another joss stick before he could even catch his breath. Then he entered the temple halls to pray for the blessings of the damn system.
“The system is the most powerful; the system is the most…”
Of course, Yuan Zhou was still doing this mission fairly diligently as he knew that there wouldn’t be any reward without endeavors. Luckily, he rushed back just in time before lunch, preparing to open the restaurant.
In the afternoon, however, he encountered a problem. The Fuyun Temple was partly in repair and he couldn’t get into it.
“Can I change another temple?” standing at the entrance of Fuyun Temple, Yuan Zhou said helplessly.
The system displayed, “The mission can’t be altered.”
“But I am unable to get inside,” Yuan Zhou said disappointedly while looking at the closed temple.
The system displayed, “Host, please complete the mission as soon as possible.”
“Ho Ho”
“Excuse me, may I go inside to worship the Buddha?” he went up and asked the monk that was cleaning at the entrance.
“I’m really sorry. We are preparing to temporarily shut the temple and get it repaired. Starting from tomorrow, it won’t be open,” the monk turned his head and devoutly put his palms together and then said politely.
“But I have a very important thing to do,” Yuan Zhou maintained his solemn expression and revealed an anxious look.
“Please read the bulletin board over there. You can come over here again when the temple is to be open,” the monk remained mild and said that.
“I only want to worship the Buddha with a burning joss stick, for a single blessing. It won’t be long. Please help,” Yuan Zhou requested earnestly.
With only one main hall inside, the Fuyun Temple didn’t have many believers that came to worship Buddha and hence chose to repair the building.
“I’m sorry but I really can’t. Please go back, sir,” the monk devoutly put his hands together again and still refused Yuan Zhou.
Finally, Yuan Zhou experienced the awkward feelings of his customers that were refused.
“Let’s do this. As a matter of fact, I want to donate some money to the temple for the repair work. Could I pay a formal visit to the master?” Yuan Zhou suddenly remembered that he was now also sort of a rich person.
“Do you have an appointment with him?” without any change in his expression, the monk directly asked.
“I just want to donate some money to the temple. I don’t think it requires an appointment,” Yuan Zhou answered straightforwardly
“Yeah, so it is. You are right,” After thinking for a while, the monk couldn’t think of any regulation which required appointments to donate money to the temple.
“I want to donate 100 thousand RMB to the temple. But I don’t have enough cash with me, only a bank card. Could you help?” Yuan Zhou bluntly brought out the donation number.
The temple was not large and naturally didn’t have other property. It depended on only some small subsidiary businesses to maintain the life of all the monks. Hundred thousand RMB wasn’t a small amount, therefore he could enter the temple with the donation and naturally have a good reason to go to the main hall and worship the Buddha for gratitude.
Yuan Zhou had a very explicit intention.
In the end, Yuan Zhou eventually completed the mission with the pretext that he wanted to donate and thank the Buddha.
[2nd Mission of Dignity] Go to these three places tomorrow to pray for blessings of this system and finish the mission within one day.
(Mission tips, now that your customer has sincerely requested the rice wine, you must master the skill and manage to prove yourself, young man.)
