Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 538 Do You Know Ou Manli?
Every first month ~ there will be a lot of various food stalls near Lingguan Temple.

Those who sell sugar paintings~ those who sell pot helmets~ those who sell oil grids~ those who sell candied haws~ and even those who sell noodles and rice noodles.

But~ If you really want to count, the most popular ones are the stalls selling joss sticks and paper money.

After all, people who come to Lingguan Temple during the first month~ believe it or not, most of them will also buy some joss stick paper money or something.

The Chen family is no exception~ Even because of the large number of people who came, the Chen family bought a lot of joss paper money today.

Chen Li was holding a large bag of joss sticks in his hand, but his face was a little unhappy.

The reason for his unhappiness~ was the junior high school classmate who followed him.

To be honest~ Chen Li is a little annoyed by this guy at the moment.

He felt that if this guy winked a little, he could see his impatience.

Even~ as long as this guy knows some manners, he would not choose to chat with him at this time.

After all, Chen Li was accompanied by a large group of family members, and even his girlfriend, and the group of them was going to burn incense in the Lingguan Temple, which was something to do.

And at this time, anyone with a little knowledge would not follow Chen Li at this time.

Even if they are acquaintances or friends, at most they just say hello and say happy new year to each other.

Even if you want to chat~ you will choose to stay after Chen Li's family burns incense instead of staying with Chen Li for endless BB.

Of course~Although Chen Li felt that Tang Bo was a little blind, he couldn't just drive him away.

After all, the Lingguan Temple is there~ everyone can go to burn incense.

So facing Tang Bo who kept BBing with him, Chen Li's attitude seemed very perfunctory.

"I didn't expect~ Chen Li, you are so good at business?"

"It's okay~ it's okay!"

"When I was in junior high school, I felt that you would definitely stand out in the future."

"Luck~ It's just good luck!"

"You dropped out of school, in my opinion, it's actually very smart."

"Actually, what is the purpose of studying? Isn't it to lay the foundation for a good future in the future?"

"So I think it's very wise for you to quit school."

"Uh~ It's okay! I didn't think too much about it~ It's mainly because I'm too busy."

"I heard that you are in the fried chicken business now?"

"Is it the KFC kind? I know this, I often eat it in Shencheng."

"Hey~ How much money do you make a month now?"

"Is there 100 million?"

"I heard that you opened one or two hundred stores~ Then you probably earn at least 100 million a month, right?"

"not that much!"

Chen Li got a little annoyed with the answer. This junior high school classmate dared to ask about everything as if he was checking his household registration.

If this hadn't been in front of his family, Chen Li would have turned his back on him long ago.

That's right~ Chen Li doesn't want to show his serious side in front of his family.

This is especially the case~ it has not risen to such a serious level, if Chen Li chooses to turn against the other party because of this, it may give people the feeling that Chen Li is a little bit flustered now that he is developed.

Of course~ It's not that Chen Li is afraid of causing misunderstandings among his family, but mainly that he is worried that his parents will nudge and educate him after doing this, after all, it's the New Year's Eve!
And in all fairness ~ if there is someone around Chen Li who suddenly becomes prosperous, maybe Chen Li will be very curious about this question.

Of course~ Chen Li might not ask so bluntly, nor would he choose to ask on such an occasion.

But ~ the next scene left Chen Li speechless.

"what?"

"You open more than 100 stores ~ you can't even earn 100 million in a month?"

Tang Bo's tone was full of surprise ~ as if Chen Li could not earn 100 million a month, so many stores opened for nothing.

And the other party gave Chen Li a feeling. It was as if Tang Bo could easily earn 100 million in a month.

Of course ~ this is definitely not realistic.

With Tang Bo's temperament, if he can really earn millions a month, he will probably be able to blow himself into the sky.

This time~ Chen Li didn't answer, but directly raised his eyes and stared at Tang Bo for several seconds, until Tang Bo seemed to realize that there might be something wrong with what he said just now.

"Uh~ No, I didn't mean that!"

"I mean, if you open so many stores, you can't earn 100 million a month."

"That proves that the business of selling fried chicken doesn't seem to be that profitable!"

Tang Bo gave an explanation, but the strength of this explanation still seemed a bit shitty.

In 2000, there would be a population of more than one billion in China, and there were not many people who could make a monthly income of more than one million, looking at the whole country.

And Chen Li's "not so much" just now is obviously a kind of perfunctory and self-effacing.

Anyone with a bit of a brain would probably not follow this sentence to compare the truth, but this Tang Bo insisted on picking up the words.

Reasonable~ Chen Li was somewhat caught off guard, and he didn't know how to continue chatting with Tang Bo.

But ~ Tang Bo seemed to be very talkative, he didn't even wait for Chen Li to answer, but continued talking on his own.

"That~ Chen Li!"

"Profits in your industry seem a little low."

"I don't know if you have considered ~ switching to a more profitable industry?"

"That's right~ I have an opportunity here."

"Don't get me wrong~ it's not me, I don't have that much energy yet."

"It's my boss~ He has a business over there, which makes more money than the fried chicken you sell."

"And~this"

"."

Tang Bo chattered a lot here, and Chen Li finally understood why this guy followed him so shamelessly.

"Hmm~ I'm going to burn incense, we'll talk about this later when we have time."

Naturally, Chen Li was too lazy to talk about business with Tang Bo, to be honest~ no matter whether Tang Bo's boss's business is really as he said, who is Chen Li?He is born again.

As a reborn person, he will never have a chance!

Just at this moment, the group had already arrived in front of the Lingguan Temple, so Chen Li simply used burning incense as an excuse to evade it.

"Uh~ ok~ ok!"

"You go first~ You go first!"

Tang Bo looked up at the gate of Lingguan Temple, and nodded quickly.

Hearing this ~ Chen Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, he quickly walked a few steps ~ followed his family into the Lingguan Temple.

Today's Lingguan Temple ~ after the previous renovation ~ is actually a larger courtyard.

Enter from the temple gate ~ right in front is the original Lingguan temple hall, which is also the only original preserved building.

The wing rooms on both sides and even the temple gate were built during the later renovation.

In front of the main hall of Lingguan Temple, there are two rectangular incense burners lined up side by side.

Well~ In fact, in Chen Li's opinion, this thing shouldn't be called an incense burner, but that's what it is anyway!

In front of the censers, there is an oversized brazier.At this moment, whether it is an incense burner or a brazier~ it is already full of incense.

On the censer ~ naturally there are incense and candles, while in the brazier ~ there is straw paper.

No way~ The functionality of this Lingguan temple is a bit complicated, making wishes~ praying~ even offering sacrifices to ancestors.

So there are a lot of people in the temple ~ it can almost be said to be crowded.

This was also one of the reasons why Chen Li was unwilling to come to Lingguan Temple in the first month, because there were too many people.

Fortunately, there were quite a lot of people in Chen Li's family. Chen Li, his old man, his second father and second uncle escorted everyone to the incense burner.

The Chen family came here to burn incense and make a wish, so they didn't buy toilet paper, but incense candles.

Even though Chen Li usually didn't believe in this, but when he really entered the Lingguan Temple, he still burned incense and made a wish honestly.

He even made several wishes very greedily!
"What did you wish for?"

After making a wish~Liu Qingqing next to her began to question, this is a scene that often appears between lovers!
"I can't say it~ It won't work if I say it."

Chen Li shook his head~ But the expression on his face was clearly telling Liu Qingqing that the wish he made was related to the other party.

"Oh, well, then I won't ask."

Although Liu Qingqing was a little curious~ but as Chen Li said, it is best not to tell others when making a wish.

"Then what did you wish for?"

But just as Chen Li finished shaking his head, he asked again.

In fact, after Chen Li said this sentence, he regretted it, because he basically guessed how Liu Qingqing would answer.

"I can't say it~ It won't work if I say it!"

Sure enough~ Liu Qingqing directly answered Chen Li with Chen Li's words just now, but Chen Li couldn't refute it.

In fact, Chen Li guessed that most of Liu Qingqing's wishes were related to herself, otherwise she would not have asked herself after she finished her wish.

Of course~ Chen Li's wish was also related to Liu Qingqing, but he was more greedy and made several wishes at once.

However, there is nothing strange about this. In fact, except for those who pray for a certain thing, most people will not make only one wish.

What to protect the health of the family~ Children go to school and progress~ Make a lot of money in the coming year, etc. Basically, everyone can think of it and will promise it again.

After they finished lighting the incense candles on the incense burner, they did not leave directly, because Chen Li's mother, the second aunt and the second mother, had to go to the main hall of the Lingguan Temple to offer incense.

This is what costs money!
Anyone who enters the main hall to offer incense must put a certain amount of incense money into the merit box at the entrance of the main hall.

Of course~ There is no limit to this money, even if you give it a dime.

But ~ must give!

However~ people who are willing to go to the hall to burn incense will not really find anything for a dime or two. Even in the year 2000, people who enter the hall~ are given five yuan to start.

Well, what Chen Li's mother and the others gave was five yuan.

This incense money~ is the only income of the Lingguan Temple at present, because the Lingguan Temple does not accept tickets these days, and does not sell any paper money for incense sticks.

There are no monks such as Taoist priests in the temple. It is actually a cultural relic protection unit at present, and there are only two staff members in charge of managing this Lingguan Temple.

It is said that it is a cultural relic protection unit, but everyone in Erlong Town knows that this Lingguan Temple actually has no cultural relics.

Even the statue of the Lingguan in the temple~ was re-made when it was renovated a few years ago.

It is said that there used to be a big bell in the Lingguan Temple, which was indeed a real cultural relic, but it is said that when the Lingguan Temple was renovated, a boss from Huilong County donated a sum of money to the Lingguan Temple , and then took the bell away.

And it wasn't just the bell that was taken away~ even some original small items in the temple, basically all were packed away by the boss.

The renovated Lingguan Temple, from the statue of the Lingguan to all other utensils, were actually reorganized later.

Of course~ this is just a rumor, as to whether it is true or not, Chen Li doesn't know.

Later, when domestic collections became popular, people in Erlong Town spread the story, anyway, it was well spread.

Chen Li and the others waited in the Lingguan Temple for a few minutes. After Ms. Wang and the others came out of the main hall, they left the Lingguan Temple through the temple gate.

Well, there is no way~ The entire Lingguan Temple is actually just such an entrance and exit.

But what surprised Chen Li was that Tang Bo was still waiting for him here.

When Chen Li came out from the gate of the temple, this guy rushed over immediately.

At that time, Chen Li was so speechless!

He seriously suspected that this Tang Bo must have some brain problems.

Because any normal person~ would not be able to perform operations like Tang Bo's.

This is no longer a matter of eyesight, it is a matter of whether the brain is normal or not.

So this time~ Chen Li planned to get straight to the point with Tang Bo, and he had found out that the "tactful" trick with Tang Bo was useless at all.

"Tang Bo~ That's it, my project for your boss"

"Chen Li~ Let me tell you, our boss's project is really good. Do you know Ou Manli?"

"Let me tell you~ this opportunity is very rare, I just don't have that much capital, but"

"Huh? No, you wait!"

In fact, Tang Bo is not without brain~ He can still see that Chen Li doesn't seem to be interested in what he said before, so this time he almost expressed his thoughts at a rapid rate.

And it was also because of his fast speaking speed that Chen Li only spoke half of what he had said, and then he swallowed it back.

Because when Chen Li heard the word "Ou Manli" from Tang Bo's ear, some memories flashed back in his mind.

Ou Manli~ These three words may be unfamiliar to most people.

But for many people in Erlong Town in the previous life around 2002, the impact of this name can be regarded as not small.

Because of these three words, many people in Erlong Town and even the surrounding towns suffered huge economic losses.

Chen Li never expected that he would hear these three words from his junior high school classmate.

In fact~ if Tang Bo hadn't mentioned Ou Manli, Chen Li would not have even thought of it.

Because~ the Chen family in the previous life didn't suffer any losses from this incident, but Chen Li's aunt's family lost a lot of money because of Ou Manli's incident in the previous life.

At this moment, seeing that Chen Li stopped talking suddenly, Tang Bo thought that Chen Li had heard of O'Manli's name, or was interested in O'Manli, so he quickly said while the iron was hot:
"Chen Li~ Let me tell you, this opportunity is really rare."

"How about this~ After the Chinese New Year, you can go over there with me to find out."

"I can pay you the fare!"

"It doesn't matter whether you invest or not, you should find out first, if you are really not interested then"

"Bang~"

"Ouch~!"

Just as Tang Bo continued to introduce Chen Li, Chen Li suddenly raised his leg and kicked Tang Bo's chest, who was less than 1 meters tall.
