Chapter 9: Prayer Tickets

As a reward for the morning Sushi got a slice of rye bread, a piece of pickled herring and two gallons of ale.Because bread is hard, a slice is usually spread thinly.The taste of ale is worse than that of beer. The original taste is a bit sweet, but without hops, it is easy to deteriorate and often tastes sour.

The wine was poured into Su Shi's skin pouch, and the herring was wrapped with a piece of old sheepskin, and stuffed into the money bag on his waist together with the rye bread folded in half.

The morning prayer ends at about ten o'clock in the morning, which is almost close to the breakfast time of ordinary people.

Su Shi was already hungry, he took out a piece of dry cheese from his arms, and chewed it to make his bowels hum.

He came out of the kitchen of the altar and stood in the cloister surrounded by small columns.

The salary of the priesthood is fixed once a week, and he has to hurry up to get the salary.

Su Shi passed the bakery, wine storage room and food storage room located in the corridor on this side, and walked towards a room near the corner of the corridor.

Most of the priests went to the restaurant on the other side, so the entire corridor was quiet.Su Shi was able to open his head and explore his mind, admiring the door lintels decorated with leaf patterns and animal images.

Each room had more than one small, boxy window framed with forest glass.There was no glass in Su Shi's home, and glass at this time was considered a luxury item; while Liuli should be called a work of art.There are as many small air bubbles in the ordinary variegated glass as there is still snow, so Su Shi unavoidably leans forward to watch it curiously.

But he saw two young deacons in daily black sacrificial attire embracing and kissing each other.

"..."

There are many tables and chairs in this room, which looks like it is used as a classroom.Su Shi withdrew his gaze and was about to leave, but saw an adult priest walking towards the horizontal corridor in front of him.Su tried to think about it, reached out and knocked on the window glass, and then continued to walk forward.

Su Shigong was on the side of the corridor, and after greeting the passing priests, he walked towards the penultimate room at the bottom of the corridor.Probably for the sake of lighting, the door was open.I saw a wooden table inside, and an old priest sat behind it.

"Elder,"

Su tried to say hello, "I'm here to collect the wages."

The white-browed elder squinted at him: "You should come here before morning prayer."

Su Shi said: "The 'bang' sound scared me, and made me forget such important things."

Su Shi took a step forward and stood in front of that table: "I am Baru the singer, Mr. Matthew asked me to come over."

The white-browed old man snorted, said nothing more, took out a note written in Latin from the drawer on the right hand side, and asked:

"Singer, Balu-Dark, 5 days, 12 sou?"

Su Shi sang a prayer in the temple, and he could get a meal distributed by the priesthood, plus a reward of 1 sou and 20 centimes.Considering the purchasing power of the currency, it is estimated to be about two yuan and four.

Su Shi nodded.

The old priest dipped a quill in red ink, marked the note, and put the note in the other drawer.He used a small key to open a drawer directly below, and took out two copper coins and two brown paper-colored rectangular bills to Su Shi:

"take it."

After Su Shi took it, he saw a string of Latin characters written in the middle of the paper note, and a Kiran fish on the top and bottom — there were four Greek characters on the Kiran fish, representing "Kiran, God, Son, and Savior" respectively. Latin and Kieran fish form a cross shape, and a circle of roses is outlined on the periphery.

Although Su Shi couldn't read Latin, he had seen the prayer ticket several times in the past two days, so he could recognize it as a midday prayer ticket.

Prayer tickets are divided into morning prayer tickets and midday prayer tickets. Morning prayer tickets are made of old parchment, priced at 1 livre each [1], and one can pray fifteen times; midday prayer tickets are made of paper Cut into pieces, the price is 5 sous each, and one piece can pray [-] times.

"..."

Su Shi held the noon prayer ticket and couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

——This wave of operations is as if you go to a restaurant to work, and the boss pays you with restaurant vouchers.

Prayer tickets have always been provided by the Priest Academy, not to mention whether Su Shi got the noon prayer tickets and sold them, even if he could sell them, he would have to spend extra time to sell them.

The old priest looked at him with a straight face and said, "What's wrong?"

Su Shi shook his head.

——Only when the value you create is indispensable and difficult to replace, can you negotiate with your opponents calmly.Su Shi had no other choice, being a singer in the priesthood was already the best job he could find.However, he believes that the current situation will not last long.

Su Shi said gently, "Thank you."

He walked out with two midday prayer tickets in his arms, thinking in his mind that selling to the target group should find buyers faster, and after midday prayer in the afternoon, he must find an opportunity to sell...

At this time, the believers who participated in the morning prayer did not completely disperse.

Tickets for morning prayer are four times more expensive than tickets for afternoon prayer. Believers are put together, almost completely distinct.The men, women and children in front of them were all neatly dressed in bright colors, and they didn't look like they would stay with the people in coarse cloth and brown clothes who participated in the midday prayer.

However, Su Shi still had the idea of ​​giving it a try, and sold it to a woman with a kind face:

"Dear madam, would you need a prayer ticket?"

"Oh!" The woman stared blankly at Su Shi with a surprised expression, and suddenly shouted excitedly, "Ah! It's you! An angel!"

Su Shi looked inexplicable and a little bit at a loss.

As the woman shouted, the eyes of many people around were attracted, even Su Shi didn't know how many girls surrounded him.

"God, look at that god-kissed face!"

"He's looking at me! His eyes are as blue as the Jerusalem sky!"

"Oh, come on, Lisa," a girl covered her throat with her hands, and snuggled up to her sister as if unable to stand, as if she was about to suffocate, "Listen, am I still breathing?"

Su Shi was very uncomfortable. Although these girls praised (?) him in front of him, it seemed that he was not in front of them.They chattered around him, looked at him eagerly, and kept sharing their excitement with those around them—not so much sharing as pouring—but they didn't try to talk to him.

For most people in this era, the different bells from the bell tower of the temple are the beautiful music that drives away the dullness of the day.

think about it!In this era without MP3 and CD, the gramophone would have to wait another 400 years to be invented!But I listened to Hua Chenyu's scene!And now Hua Chenyu is standing in front of you, less than two feet away from you!

Su Shi felt a little nervous, he took out two prayer tickets from his arms, and said as calmly and gently as possible:

"Anyone need prayer tickets?"

"Me me me! I need it! I need it so much!"

"I need it more than you!"

"..."

Faced with such a situation, Su Shi was troubled, because he didn't know who to sell to be considered fair and agreeable.

At this time, a brown-haired girl took advantage of the other girls pushing and arguing, and quickly took out 5 sous from the purse and handed it to Su Shi:

"Please give me one!"

"Thank you, and may God bless you."

Su Shi smiled and handed her a prayer ticket.

"Ah, cunning!"

The brunette girl was jumping and screaming with her prayer ticket pressed to her chest.

Seeing this, the other girls became even more envious and jealous, and touched their wallets one after another. Those who didn't have any money hurried to beg their father or brother.

It turned out that the woman had already been squeezed to the back by the enthusiastic girls. At this time, seeing someone moving faster than her, she wanted to take the first step, so she quickly shouted:

"Ten sous for me!"

Her words made the girl who was about to buy the ticket hesitate for a moment. Taking this opportunity, the woman twisted her hips and rushed to Su Shi, stuffing the money first!

Su Shi, who had never bent down for five buckets of rice, also deeply understood the importance of money because of the unresolved situation at home.At this time, he couldn't help smiling when he saw the extra two and a half days' salary.

He put the prayer ticket in the woman's outstretched hand, leaned over and kissed the prayer ticket in her palm, and said in a voice thousands of times more beautiful than the temple bell:

"May God bless you, dear lady."

He raised his head and smiled, his brows were lightly raised and stretched, and his golden eyelashes cast a faint shadow in his blue eyes, like the reflection of heaven.

There were screams one after another, and the lady covered her chest with one hand and covered her forehead with the back of the other hand, staggering back a few steps, feeling extremely dizzy.

Su Shi took advantage of this opportunity and hurriedly withdrew, leaving this small commotion.
