Chapter 25 Door-to-door business
Afterwards, incense and candles were burned, tributes were paid, and the coffin was lifted for burial without any further difficulties.
In the second half of the funeral, there were some things like treating guests to dinner, which is customary for country people. I didn't want to stay any longer, so after the ceremony was over, I changed back into the school uniform I brought and started packing my things to go back.
As he walked to the door, he was suddenly stopped by a well-dressed old man.
"Little brother, please stay."
Listening to this voice, it is the person who just recognized the formation.
I would like to say a few more words to those who know the goods like this.
I looked at him: "What are you doing?"
"I recognized you when you came in just now. Look at your Taoist uniform... Are you the talented young man who is rumored to have studied under Master Chen?"
I felt a little embarrassed when he said that, and I didn't know how it was spread outside that it was so miraculous?
I quickly waved my hand: "I'm not a genius, but I did become a disciple of Taoist Master Chen, but he only passed me a few secret books. I can't compare to him."
The old man looked beaming with joy: "You are so humble. The talisman you just made was a level that I have never reached in my life."
As soon as I heard it, I knew it was the one I drew on the little piece of paper. I didn’t know whether to be sad or happy.
"Uh, you're exaggerating. What's your surname, sir?"
He waved his hand: "If your surname is Li, Li Yuan, you can just call me Lao Li. I have no ability and am not worthy of your honorific title."
Although he said it politely, I still felt that it was not good to call him by his first name: "Okay, Grandpa Li, why are you looking for me?"
With his rich appearance, he is definitely not the kind of idler who would come to his door for nothing.
There was a somewhat embarrassed look on his face: "Well, my little friend noticed it, so I said it straight away. You can also see that we are peers. Recently, I took a big order on the road, and the other party gave me
The price is very high, but I am not very capable, so I am worried right now..."
In other words, this is another deal that comes to your doorstep.
I nodded: "You mean you want me to help you?"
Li Yuan sighed: "Yes. I just don't know if you are willing."
Judging from his appearance, this kind of business that changes hands halfway should be very taboo on the street.
I have never dealt with such a thing before, so I didn't say anything for the time being, hoping to trick him again.
Li Yuanwo showed a hesitant look on his face, and immediately added: "Little friend, I know you may have just entered this industry, so I'm worried that you don't know the market clearly. Don't worry, Li, I won't cheat you."
"As long as you are willing to accept it, in addition to the money the guests give you, I can also give you half more!"
When he said this, I was immediately moved and agreed.
"Okay, little friend, please get in the car and let's talk slowly."
After saying that, I followed him into the expensive-looking car he drove over.
He actually has a dedicated driver to open and close the doors for him.
I had never seen anything like this in the world, and it shocked me. I thought all Taoist practitioners should be as pure-minded and ascetic as my master.
He obviously noticed my surprise and explained: "My little friend, we all have accumulated a lot in this industry. The more capable we are, the more we earn. There are very few people like your master who have a noble mind and do not seek money. Only
Only a true master can do it.”
I nodded. In addition to admiring the master more and more, I also started to become interested in this industry.
Originally, I studied Taoism just to save my life. Now that I have the opportunity to live a better life for myself and my father, why not?
According to Li Yuan, his list is very evil.
A rich man in the city had his daughter die at home, but only the head was found in her bedroom, and the rest of the body was missing. In the end, he had no choice but to spend money to find a psychic to find his daughter.
As for Li Yuan, he claimed to have never missed an order, so after the turnover, the family found him.
The problem lies here.
Originally, he was proficient in the art of psychics. No matter what the problem was, he could basically solve it by calling the soul of the deceased to discuss it.
But this time, with only one head, he could only find the remaining soul and soul, and there was no way to start.
In this industry, the most important thing is reputation, which is why he is willing to pay me to help. In this way, although he did not solve the problem himself, he still found a solution for the customer, which is not a shame.
After listening to his introduction, I nodded. It didn't sound like the problem was too big, but the specific situation would only be clear after seeing it on site.
The car didn't take long to reach the city and drove straight into the area of wealthy people's villas that I had never been to before.
Usually when I go to school, I will pass by here on the bus, and I can only see a little bit of the scenery at the door every time.
"By the way, I have time to ask my little friend's name, what should I call him?"
"Xu Dezhi, just call me Xiaozhi."
He nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, Xiaozhi. Please get out of the car."
The driver got out of the car and opened the door for us. I was not used to this kind of treatment, so I was careful when I got out of the car.
This is the life of the rich!
There is a huge fountain in the courtyard, and the flowers, plants and shrubs on the side seem to have been carefully designed. No matter the color matching or cutting, they are very suitable.
Moreover, the feng shui of this place is obviously very particular. There are big trees outside the house in the east, southeast, southwest, and north, all of which are more than 20 meters tall, which bring wealth and people. In the northwest, there is an artificial lake, which brings good career and wealth.
I watched all the way and couldn't help but sigh.
Li Yuan was also very considerate and didn't walk very fast. He waited for me to finish reading before leaving together.
"Xiao Zhi, you looked carefully just now. What do you think of the feng shui of this place?"
Only then did I realize that I had lost my composure just now. I coughed twice and tried to hide my embarrassment: "Ahem, it's not bad. The overall Feng Shui design is good, but the lake water is not living water. This is considered an oversight in the design."
After finishing speaking, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Li Yuan's face, and then he smiled with satisfaction: "Oh, Xiaozhi, you can actually see it. It seems that I am indeed not as capable as you."
It turns out that this place was designed by Li Yuan. In order to bring good luck to the general trend, he asked them to open this artificial lake. Unfortunately, after it was built, it was discovered that something was wrong with this place. The workers did not dig deep enough and failed to connect to the running water underground.
But at that time, the budget given by the merchant had been spent, so I had no choice but to find someone to drain and change the water in two pipes in the future, so it was barely considered stagnant water.
Unexpectedly, my casual remarks would actually offend him. I quickly tried to come back: "This...but the overall feng shui of this place is still good, and small details like this are harmless."
