At six o'clock in the afternoon that day, Yang Ding was eating vegetarian food in the temple with Yan Suqun. Yang Ding felt ridiculous in his heart. Now the monks don't taboo anything, eating meat and drinking wine, while people from outside entered the temple. , but he became a monk, his heart became sincere, and his appetite became special.

Yang Ding knew that Yan Suqun liked to eat meat, but when she ate a few vegetarian dishes today, it was not obvious that Yan Suqun was picky about food at all, and she looked very delicious.

Yang Ding said, "Xiao Yan, how are you? I see you are eating with gusto, it must be delicious,"

Yang Ding was opposed to vegetarianism from the beginning to the end. At this time, he went to great lengths to eat dinner. Apart from a bowl of rice, the only thing Yang Ding ate was spicy and sour kimchi.

Preferring to just eat this, Yang Ding didn't pick up a piece of vegetarian food, which made the vegetarian food here look tasteless and tasteless.

Yan Suqun came to worship Buddha sincerely, so she ate in silence. Most of the people sitting nearby were immersed in eating slowly. Who could be as picky as Yang Ding, who kept talking.

Yan Suqun glared at Yang Ding and said, "Keep your voice down, it doesn't matter what tastes good or not, the food here doesn't matter what it tastes like, but the nourishment you get after eating it is just a bowl of plain water. We have to maintain a calm and normal mentality. I I just wanted to talk to you..."

Yan Suqun criticized Yang Ding in a low voice. Just now, she was concentrating on worshiping Buddha and making wishes, but Yang Ding was wandering around and disappeared after a while. According to Yan Suqun's observation, Yang Ding didn't even have a Buddha image. Worshiped.

Now that we are here, what can we do without worshiping Buddha? Yan Suqun told Yang Ding that our heart must be sincere here, and whether we believe it or not, our heart must be filled with holiness.

Yang Ding nodded, how could Yan Suqun, a young man who is pro-age, believe these things.

Yang Ding said, "Xiao Yan, okay, I have been enlightened by you. By the way, you have worshiped so many gods and Buddhas, what kind of wishes have you made?"

Yan Suqun clasped her hands on her chest and closed her eyes gently, "You can't say it, you can't say it, it won't work if you say it, hehe,"

Yang Ding told Yan Suqun that he had already contacted the store for the pair of crystal slippers. When the store opened on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Ding went to take them out. On the day of the wedding banquet, Yang Ding would personally put them on Yan Suqun.

Soon Yang Ding received a call from the abbot of the temple. The abbot was helpless. The county magistrate Mingyi had given up the first cigarette, but another mayor came from the neighboring city. He tried his best to talk to the other party but still did not give in. The abbot I can only watch the money I was about to receive go down the drain.

The only one who could blame Yang Ding was that he didn't make a reservation in advance. Since he couldn't pay the first incense stick in the early morning, there was no point in staying in the temple. Yang Ding said, "Xiao Yan, you have already made a wish, why don't we just go back?" ,"

Yan Suqun pouted, "I don't want it. I watch the Spring Festival Gala at home every year. With you accompanying me this year, I can finally play outside freely. It would be boring to go back. How about this? After watching the so-called sky-high price We’ll go back after the first stick of incense,”

The price is still astronomical now. What Yang Ding offered was astronomical. However, the abbot failed to make a successful transaction due to pressure and gave up the qualification for this stick of incense to another leader.

Since Yan Suqun doesn't want to leave, let's stay for a while and see which leader is so awesome that he took Mingyi's expected position.

After walking around, it soon arrived at 11pm, and the outside of the Main Hall began to slowly clear. In the early hours of the morning, the number of people entering here will be strictly limited.

Four or five people formed a line, criss-crossing each other up the stairs, holding a giant incense stick on their shoulders.

The outside of the main hall was surrounded by a red rope, and several monks kept walking along the red rope, just like security guards.

Yan Suqun and Yang Ding stood outside the red rope. Seeing this giant incense stick, Yan Suqun was also beating excitedly, "Yang Ding, have you seen it? Have you seen it? That incense stick is so big. "

Yang Ding looked disapproving. What's so great about Xiangda? Isn't it just spending a few more dollars?

Yang Ding explained that through his trip to Thailand, Yang Ding also saw Buddhism, which has not changed much since its spread.

Yang Ding took the small incense in his hand and said, "Xiao Yan, there is not much difference between the big incense and the small incense. What is incense? Incense is a medium that can communicate with gods and Buddhas after being lit. It is also That is to say, no matter whether it is a small incense or a large incense, after lighting it, you can tell the Buddha what is in your heart. What happened to the big incense? Is the big incense more effective? Hey, why has the taste of Buddhism in China changed?"

Yan Suqun looked at Yang Ding's knowledgeable look and patted his shoulder gently, "Tsk, Yang Ding, you have a grape mentality. Don't say that grapes are sour if you can't eat them."

Soon the abbot took a small loudspeaker and started to distribute numbers. There were ten numbers in total. Starting from midnight, people holding ten numbers would burn incense in order. After that, they would release the red rope warning and start burning incense freely. .

Yang Ding naturally also got a number, number four.

Yan Suqun looked at Yang Ding walking from the red rope with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Why did you get one too?"

Yang Ding shook his shoulders, "Hey, I can't help it. I wanted to give you a stick of incense, but I can't help it. My ability is limited."

The abbot was also very embarrassed, so he assigned Yang Ding a number four, number two was Mingyi, and number three was a wealthy boss. The abbot just whispered to Yang Ding that he was sorry, and there was no need to give anything. The number was presented to Yang Ding, hoping to have the opportunity to cooperate next year.

The abbot called numbers from ten to four, then three, two, and one.

When No. 1 appeared, Yang Ding also looked at him carefully. Although the light was not that bright, Yang Ding could see the person's appearance clearly.

Although the hat on the back of this man's clothes was turned over to cover his head, Yang Ding's profile was not unfamiliar to him.

Yang Ding smiled faintly, "Xiao Yan, would you like to offer a stick of incense?"

Yan Suqun looked at Yang Ding, "Why are you laughing? It's so wretched. Didn't you see that No. 1 has been given to someone else? What do you want to do? Steal it?"

Yang Ding said, "You wait for me here, and I'll switch with him."

Because Yang Ding was holding the number plate No. 4, he successfully passed the red rope line alone and said loudly, "Isn't this Mayor Li?"

The mysterious man who just took the No. 1 number plate in his hand covered up the hood of his down jacket and turned to look at Yang Ding. The man's face suddenly changed, and the distinction between superiority and inferiority was all written on his face.

When he saw Yang Ding, he felt like he saw his master, and he immediately stepped forward to greet him, "Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang, why is it you? Hey, I really came to the right place today. I am so lucky to meet you."

This person was none other than the mayor of Hongwu City, Li Chaoyang. Yang Ding helped Li Chaoyang solve his urgent problems in the capital city. Li Chaoyang was in awe of Yang Ding in his heart.

After returning from the capital, Li Chaoyang also wanted to meet Yang Ding and establish a relationship, but there has never been a suitable opportunity. Today, it is better to meet by chance than to invite him.

Yang Ding looked at Li Chaoyang's excited look and said, "Mayor Li, why, you are here to offer a stick of incense today,"

Li Chaoyang was a little embarrassed, because if he could wait until this time in the temple, everyone here should come to offer incense, and since he was the first person to receive incense, Yang Ding had to queue at the back.

Li Chaoyang realized that this was an opportunity to have a good relationship with Yang Ding.

The first stick of incense is nothing. You don't wear it to ensure your official career is prosperous. If you rely on Yang Ding, your official career will have a foundation. Relying on gods and Buddhas is just a sustenance.

Li Chaoyang said, "Why should I offer a stick of incense? Young Master Yang is here, how dare I claim to be great? Yang Ding, I will give you this number plate,"

Yang Ding had no intention of refusing at all, and took out the No. 4 number plate in his hand, "Mayor Li, you are also here to offer incense. What should you do if you give it to me? You are also the mayor of a city, so you can't be with some Let’s all burn incense together, let’s do this, I happen to have a No. 4 here, let’s change it.”

Li Chaoyang was honored to take over the No. 4 plate, and felt happy in his heart. He began to make appointments with Yang Ding for a meal.

Soon the time came to 11:55 on New Year's Eve. Yang Ding, who held the No. 1 license plate, led Yan Suqun to the main hall. The two of them only held a few small incense sticks in their hands, very thin ones. It astonishes others.

The first stick of incense is hard to come by, and who doesn’t have to do some form to prove their piety.

County Magistrate Mingyi was also stunned because he saw Li Chaoyang and Yang Ding exchanging number plates with his own eyes, and Li Chaoyang seemed to respect Yang Ding very much.

Mingyi murmured in his heart, it seemed that he would have to be wary of Yang Ding in the future, he could not offend this person easily.

Yan Suqun didn't think much about it, she was already happy. She didn't expect that Yang Ding actually got the qualification to be the first incense stick.

The warmth in my heart cannot be described in words. After Yan Suqun worshiped Buddha, she snuggled in Yang Ding's arms. Countless people looked at her with envy, and the two of them walked down the mountain in the moonlight of the round moon.

The funny thing is behind, but Yang Ding and Yan Suqun can't be seen.

No one from No. 2 came forward to burn incense, and no one from No. 3 dared to come up. Finally, Li Chaoyang from No. 4 was automatically promoted to No. 2.

How dare the county magistrate Mingyi join the mayor's team? Although he has the No. 2 number plate in his hand, Li Chaoyang has been told by the Denghe Municipal Government Office. How can he get ahead of Li Chaoyang?

The wealthy businessman on No. 3 also received the news from the abbot. No. 4 is now a mayor, so he asked the wealthy businessman to consider it himself.

"How did you do it? The person holding the No. 1 plate is obviously not an ordinary person,"

When they arrived at the parking lot, Yan Suqun asked.

There is no one in the parking lot now. If we don't leave now, there will be a lot of cars soon. When we drive to the county town, we may be stuck in traffic for several hours.

Yang Ding said, "I know that person. He asked me to do something before. He is the mayor of Hongwu City. It's a pity. If he were the mayor of Denghe City, my prestige would skyrocket again, hehe."

Two people had been following Yang Ding all day long. When Yang Ding got in the car, they also got in their own car and followed behind. The driver asked, "Boss, when are you going to start?"

"Don't worry, there are quite a lot of people around here, and there are quite a few cars on the way down the mountain. Let's keep up first and see if the opportunity comes. No matter what, we must succeed before dawn."
