The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Chapter 1304 - Friends



Chapter 1304: Friends

Then, Chiro left with his disciple.

When the host found Ishii, Ishii did not say a word and turned around to leave. It was as if he did not want to be involved in anything else.

The host looked at the judges helplessly. The French judge frowned and said, “A rude child. Looks like we can stop any future collaborations.”

“With this, I don’t even want any other tea. Brother Song, I think we should talk about our cooperation,” the little old man immediately walked up to Song Xian and said with a mischievous tone.

Song Xian replied with a bitter smile, “Unavailable!”

The little old man was stunned. “What do you mean it’s unavailable?”

Song Xian replied, “The tea isn’t available.”

The little old man said, “Song Xian, you can’t do this, can you? You can’t blame us for what happened in the past! You were the ones who didn’t abide by the rules. You can’t not sell us just because you have good tea, right? How about this, I’ll double the price of the best tea on the market and purchase your Frost Bamboo tea. I’ll take however much you have. I’ll take it all!”

“You old bastard, you’re still as smart as ever. You want to buy such tea leaves for just double the price? I’ll offer five times the price!” The German judge, Yalman, said.

“I’ll pay ten times! Mr. Song, you know that I’ve always been generous and never play tricks. I want as many as you have,” said the French judge.

“Twenty times!” England’s Grand Duke said.

“No matter how much they pay, I’ll pay double!” shouted the little old man through gritted teeth.

Upon hearing these words, the onlookers were completely dumbfounded.

Tang Chen grinned and said, “Master, if I remember correctly, the most expensive tea in the world should be the Golden Melon Tribute Tea that’s from the Pu’er tea family, right? Back then, Yunnan brought back the last remaining Golden Melon Tribute Tea, and just the insurance cost 19.99 million yuan. That was in 2007!”

Tang Ze shook his head and said, “It’s different. Golden Melon Tribute Tea is an excellent divine tea. It can’t be viewed as tea. It’s divine tea; we can only watch it and not trade it. It’s not excessive to call it a priceless treasure. Besides, the meaning of Golden Melon Tribute Tea isn’t just tea. It’s part of culture and history. That’s why it’s so expensive. Naturally, we can’t use its price to judge the price of the tea leaves.”

Tang Chen said, “Then the second one should be Da Hong Pao. At the seventh Wuyi Mountain Culture Festival in 2005, 20 grams of Wuyi Da Hong Pao was auctioned at a sky-high price of 208,000 yuan. It’s equivalent to 10.4 million yuan per kilogram! This can be used as a reference, right?”

When Red Boy and Salted Fish heard this, their eyes turned red!

20 grams for more than 200,000 yuan?

They immediately thought of the Frost Bamboo bamboo forest on Mt. One Finger!

If Fangzheng were to let the Frost Bamboo proliferate, it would not be a problem for them to produce a hundred kilograms of it a year if they worked hard.

In that case…

Gulp!

The two fellows gulped. They were going to be rich!

They seemed to see Fangzheng’s face beaming with joy. Then, One Finger Monastery could lead a carefree life as they ate and drank well daily.

However, Tang Ze shook his head and said, “That doesn’t have any reference value either. The only six remaining Da Hong Pao mother trees have already been listed as a UNESCO world heritage. From 2006 onwards, the government has forbidden them from being plucked. Therefore, the price of Da Hong Pao is a discontinued price. Or perhaps, I should say that they are now priceless treasures. Such things cannot be used to measure the market price of tea leaves.

“Nicholas wouldn’t be so foolish as to use those kinds of tea as the baseline. Otherwise, no matter how rich he is, he wouldn’t be able to take the damage. After all, the tea available can be continuously produced, and not something discontinued.”

Upon hearing that, the stars in Red Boy and Salted Fish’s eyes vanished instantly as they wore looks of disappointment.

Tang Chen asked, “Teacher, how much do you think the price of this Frost Bamboo tea will be?”

Tang Chen thought for a moment and said, “Currently, the most expensive tea in China should be Pre-Qingming tea from the 18 Longjing tea bushes. If it’s the tender leaves, the price will be even more expensive. This kind of special-class Longjing has already risen to 100,000 yuan per kilogram in 2014. Now, the price is even higher than 200,000 yuan per kilo.

“So, the price they are talking about should be using this price as a foundation.”

When Salted Fish heard that, he hurriedly patted Red Boy and asked, “You’re smarter. Do the math. How much will it be if it’s 200,000 yuan a kilogram?”

Red Boy slapped him back. “How would I know! It’s definitely a lot!”

“Tell me. With so much money in hand, what should we do?” Salted Fish said.

Red Boy thought for a moment and said, “We should at least go to an amusement park, right? Master is such a stingy guy; he hasn’t brought me there yet.”

Salted Fish rolled his eyes and said, “You don’t have any ambitions. If I had any say, he should bring us on a tour of the world! As a fish, I haven’t even seen the sea of this world! I can’t accept it!”

Just as they were chatting, the nine big shots on the stage were already flushing red from their price bidding. It looked like they would have rolled up their sleeves and started fighting if not for the fact that there were too many people present.

The scene was chaotic…

Song Xian hurriedly shouted, “My old friends! Listen to me! Our family doesn’t have such tea!”

“What?” The nine elderly men were stunned on the spot as they collectively looked at Song Xian.

Song Xian said with a bitter smile, “This tea was obtained by Ming on Mt. One Finger. It wasn’t cultivated by our Song family. If you really wish to buy it, don’t talk to me. You should head over to One Finger Monastery.”

“One Finger Monastery? The monastery of China’s number one indecent monk?” asked the little old man subconsciously.

The moment that was said, Red Boy spat out a mouthful of water.

Salted Fish pricked up his brows and said, “Senior Brother, he actually said that of Master! Don’t hold me back. Let me kiss him. He knows me so well!”

Red Boy: “…”

Song Xian covered his face and stepped back. “Li Daguang, don’t talk to me! I don’t know you!”

The little old man was stunned and turned to look at the other judges.

The French judge, Nicholas, looked up at the sky and said, “Don’t look at me. I’m not familiar with you.”

The German judge, Yalman, lowered his head as if there was something interesting on the ground.

Brazil’s Baird, on the other hand, pulled a Chinese attendant and began to chat with him in Portuguese. The other party was dumbfounded. Clearly, he did not understand what was going on, nor did he understand what he was talking about…

In short, none of the judges looked at him!

The little old man said, “What are you all doing?”

“Alright, let’s go. I still have something on, so I’ll be leaving first.” Russia’s Ottosky waved goodbye.

The others immediately followed. “Aiyah, it’s time to change my dentures. I’ll be leaving first.”

“I’m getting old. My body can’t take it anymore. I need to rest early. Bye guys,” Yalman said. However, his assistant was a little slow in carrying the luggage, and he yelled, “What use are you if you can’t even carry a single piece of luggage!”

Then, Yalman lifted the huge piece of luggage on his shoulder and strode away…
