My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 408: Blessing Lamp

After trying to understand the key, Xiang Yang's gaze gradually became sharper.

Xiang Yang has never been the kind of feminine and hang up person.

After identifying one thing, Xiang Yang is even more daring than Zhang Qicheng. In the past, he bought gillnet fishing boats, replaced them with larger ocean-going fishing boats, and spent money to build roads.

"How do I do it? How much does it cost?" Xiang Yang asked directly.

The previous sentence was for Grandpa.

The latter sentence is for Zhang Qicheng.

Grandpa Fu counted with his fingers, "Then we have to follow the most lively ones, at least ten teams playing gongs, drums and suona, two pagodas, two fire dragon lanterns, and 10,000 blessing lanterns."

Zhang Qicheng grinned, "I just like your boldness, Brother Xiang, exactly the same as Brother Chao when you were young." Then he slowly stretched out a finger.

Xiang Yang was surprised, "Only one million?"

"One hundred, one million?" Grandpa Fu stared wide-eyed, his eyes were full of horror, and then he trembled with excitement. As long as he has this one million funds, I believe it will be lively. Do a good job of burning the pagoda.

Zhang Qicheng rolled his eyes, "The simplest ones are three gong-beating teams. They don't make blessing lanterns or fire dragon lanterns. It costs 200,000 yuan a day to burn just one pagoda. Let's do it according to the grandest one. Thirty until the seventh day of the first lunar month, do you think it only costs one million?"

"One, ten million?" Grandpa Fu exclaimed.

Xiang Yang glanced at Grandpa Fu, and then looked directly at Zhang Qicheng, "Okay, I will pay the money. According to the agreement, you and I will each have five million."

"Okay, refreshing." Zhang Qicheng clapped his hands and smiled, "Then let's prepare now?"

Xiang Yang looked at Grandpa Fu, "Grandfather Fu, what do we need to do in the preparatory work?"

Only then did Grandpa Fu slowly recover from the shock of hearing the huge sum of 10 million, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, "If there is such a large sum of money, then there is no need to prepare anything, just wait The day before the burning of the pagoda, there is still time to ask someone to arrange it, and the only thing that needs to be prepared in advance may be the 10,000 blessing lamps."

Xiang Yang nodded and explained to Zhang Qicheng: "I know about the blessing lamp. It is essentially the same thing as the Kongming lantern, but the paper of the Kongming lantern is not good. It can't fly when it encounters a little cloudy weather at sea, and the blessing lamp Can."

Grandpa Fu also nodded with a smile, "Yes, pasting blessing lamps is an old craft in our Huhai Town. If you do your best, there will be no more than a hundred people in Huhai Town who still have the craft of pasting blessing lamps. I'm old." Exactly one of them.”

The size of the blessing lamp is a little bigger than the Kongming lanterns produced on the normal assembly line after being stretched, because it is much heavier than ordinary Kongming lanterns and requires more heat to be able to lift off normally.

Secondly, because the blessing lanterns are released on the sea, the range of the sea is wider and the field of vision is wider. The people who fly the blessing lanterns need to be larger and brighter than normal Kongming lanterns, and fly higher to be able to stand on the shore. At the same time, he saw the blessing lamp that he had released.

"The paste prayer lamp is easy to talk about other things, but there is one difficulty, that is, it needs peanut oil, and its fuel cannot use ordinary alcohol, because the heat generated by the burning of alcohol is difficult to support the high flying of the blessing lamp, and peanut oil is needed. Bring to a boil, boil, and then put the paper money into boiling peanut oil to cook, the paper money boiled in peanut oil can be burned for a long time, and can make the blessing lamp fly high." Grandpa Fu laughed.

Xiang Yang nodded. It turned out that paper money boiled in peanut oil was burned under the blessing lamp. No wonder he thought that the flames of the blessing lamps released in Yanlong Village were much brighter than the Kongming lamps bought outside.

In the past, every time the village put out blessing lamps, people selected by the village would row boats to the sea and light them again. From the beginning, it seemed extremely mysterious. People in Xiang Yang's grade actually didn't know what was burning under the blessing lamp. Grandpa Fu's words satisfied one of Xiang Yang's curiosity.

"Really release 10,000 blessing lamps? Then I can arrange someone to paste them. This blessing lamp should be handmade, and the price of peanut oil is not cheap, so the cost of making one is not low, about two yuan. Counting wages, it would cost three yuan a cup." Grandpa Fu said with a serious face.

"Well, it's 30,000 yuan, isn't it? Elderly, do you know how to use a mobile phone? Come, I'll transfer it to you." Zhang Qicheng said.

Grandpa Fu nodded quickly, "It will work. I have been teaching for decades, and students often call me and drag me into many WeChat groups. I often use my mobile phone."

"That's a good relationship." Zhang Qicheng clicked on the phone to make the payment.

"Wait." Xiang Yang shouted at this time.

"Huh?" Zhang Qicheng looked at Xiang Yang suspiciously.

Grandfather Fu was even more anxious. When it came time to pay, he was afraid that Xiang Yang would suddenly say that he would not do it.

Xiang Yang said to Zhang Qicheng: "Send him 300,000 yuan, and I want 100,000 blessing lamps."

Zhang Qicheng was taken aback, "You want to put one hundred thousand blessing lamps? Can we put so many?"

"I'll transfer an extra 270,000 to you later, and 90,000 are my own." Xiang Yang said.

Just as Zhang Qicheng wanted to say that there is no need to divide them in such detail, when he saw the smile on Xiang Yang's face, he suddenly had an idea, "Do you want to sell blessing lamps to tourists?"

Xiang Yang smiled and nodded.

The reason why the Songkran Festival can be so prosperous and lively is because the Songkran Festival allows tourists to participate.

The burning of the pagoda is very lively, but in fact, the whole process is caused by Yanlong Village's own people, and the tourists can't participate at all.

An activity without a sense of participation, no matter how lively it is, will not leave a deep impression on the tourists. At least after participating in it once and losing its sense of mystery, tourists will not think about participating in it for the second time, let alone recommend it to Come with friends and family.

certainly.

Xiang Yang didn't plan to sell the 90,000 fire dragon lanterns himself.

Xiang Yang plans to wholesale the dragon lanterns to the villagers at that time, let the villagers sell them, let the villagers make some money, and make everyone happy. Xiang Yang, who holds the gold-absorbing magic weapon of Qinglongwan Beach, doesn't care much about such a small amount of money anymore.

"Yangzi." At this time, Grandpa Fu wondered: "It's not long before the burning of the pagoda, one hundred thousand lamps, even if I gather all the people in Huhai Town who know how to make blessing lamps, it is impossible to live in the burning of the pagoda. Make one hundred thousand blessing lamps now."

Xiang Yang asked: "How long does it take you to make a blessing lamp?"

"It's not counted one by one. Before pasting the lamps, you need to cut paper. You can only cut twenty sheets of paper at a time. After the paper is cut, it is very fast to paste a blessing lamp. It takes about a few minutes, that is to say. About 20 blessing lamps can be pasted in an hour."
