Chapter 329 The old ghost stays at the boss's house
Only then did we discover that the incense candles on the altar at the door of the proprietress's door were powered by electricity and kept bright, and even the apples placed as offerings were made of plastic.
"Is this okay?"
Chujiu widened his eyes and shook his head speechlessly. This was the first time he saw this plastic offering.
The boss lady told us that she used fresh fruits and traditional scented candles at the beginning.
Later, after the incense candles were used up, the proprietress went to the sacrificial shop to buy incense candles.
The owner of the sacrificial products recommended this new type of long-lasting incense candle to her. It will always light up after being plugged in. It is simple, convenient and long-lasting.
"Okay, I already understand the cause and effect of the matter. Now you have two choices. One is to be dismissed directly by me, and the other is to follow me. When the time is right, I will find a senior monk to help you achieve salvation. This is all for your sake.
For the sake of speaking Chinese.”
These two choices on the ninth day of the lunar month were completely equivalent to not giving Kong Liangcai a chance to choose.
"Sir, do I have any choice here? Tsk, tsk, what a pity for my great beauty."
Kong Liangcai nodded resignedly and turned to look at the beautiful landlady.
On the ninth day of the lunar month, I started chanting a mantra to help everyone get in touch with the Heavenly Eye. Although this old ghost was extremely weak, it would definitely be no good if ordinary people interacted with ghosts for too long.
Just when Chujiu took out another talisman and was about to collect Kong Liangcai's soul, the boss's wife interrupted Chujiu.
"Master, if I want to keep him..."
The boss lady's request really shocked me. But after thinking about it, I quickly understood the reason. The boss lady is a businesswoman after all.
"You must think clearly. There are many taboos in supporting the Immortal Family. If you fail to do what you promised each other, the consequences will be quite serious."
Unexpectedly, Chujiu actually agreed to the boss’s request.
"Chujiu, you told me a lot of nonsense the past two days, are you the boss lady?"
I remembered what I said a few days ago on the ninth day of the lunar month. Ordinary people hear too much nonsense, and their thoughts will be affected by the nonsense, which will resonate with them and create sympathy.
"He is no longer a normal ghost. He is a ghost whose soul has been refined. His memories are all real."
Chujiu gave me a brief explanation and stared at the landlady.
"Master, I have thought about it and decided to support him."
While we were slightly surprised, the landlady categorically stated that she wanted Kong Liangcai, an old ghost, to stay.
Chujiu kindly reminded the boss lady that within her own ability, she could establish a short-term contract with the old ghost, which would do no harm to both parties.
The landlady asked Chujiu about some matters of supporting the Xian family and then returned to the bedroom. When she came out again, she was holding a bundle of hundred-yuan bills in her hand.
"Master, maybe I was half-doubtful about these things before, but I am completely convinced after seeing them with my own eyes today. Please accept this."
Chu Jiu glanced at me and took the banknote from the proprietress's hand. Just as we were saying goodbye to the proprietress, we heard a soft meow.
"She is pregnant and there should be three kittens in her belly."
Chujiu turned around and stared at the passage leading to the backyard, looking at a white cat standing at the door with a smile on his face.
The boss lady cheered excitedly, Xiaobai is back, this is the best gift for her.
When leaving the house, Chujiu turned around and told the proprietress that she was a little embarrassed after receiving so much money and asked her to go to the pharmacy to buy some Buzhong Yiqi Pills to replenish her health.
"Qin Feng, Chujiu, what kind of deal do you think the landlady will do with that pervert?"
On the ninth day of the lunar month, Zhang Ying drove Zhang Ying's car. Zhang Ying, whose face was a little red, was lying on the back seat with a gossipy look on her face.
"Who knows? She can exchange whatever she thinks the reward she can get is worth it. Precious medicinal materials, money, treasures, or maybe herself."
Chujiu curled his lips. He was also an unscrupulous businessman. When he grew up, he would definitely not go to bars.
Zhang Ying also has an amazing brain. Lying in the back seat, she suddenly told us that she had come up with a clever idea to make her shop's business boom.
Even she would go to a wild temple in Southeast Asia and spend a small amount of money to ask for a domino holding a ghost to be placed in the shop.
After the contract time between this domino and her is up, if you want to put forward more extreme conditions, treat Chujiu to a big meal and get rid of this domino.
"Sister, why are you doing this troublesome thing? You treat me to a big meal every day, and I stand in front of your shop to catch ghosts for you and keep them for you."
Chujiu scolded Zhang Ying speechlessly for not learning from others, but for learning these evil ways.
"Haha, sister is teasing you, but today I saw a real ghost for the first time and I almost died of fright."
Zhang Ying may have thought that she was so frightened that she hid in my arms and gave me a fierce look.
Chujiu nodded. It is a law of nature that humans and ghosts take different paths. If two people from different dimensions are intertwined, there will never be a good ending.
"What about the future of the boss lady?"
Zhang Ying's answer was that Chujiu had told her about karma, and she was willing to bear it herself, and she couldn't care less about it.
"Are you hungry? I was scared to death when I entered her room, and now my stomach is growling."
Zhang Ying sat up and stared at the different restaurants on the roadside.
"Sister, in fact, there is a way to improve the feng shui of your shop. If the feng shui is good, it will naturally attract wealth. When you decorate it, ask Guo Guo to decorate it for you."
What's the point of this? I'm not hungry, so why should I be dragged along? Let me go to work while you eat a big meal together?
Once again, I began to wonder if Chujiu always betrayed his friends and relatives for delicious food. Maybe he was unstable and one day he went crazy.
I unexpectedly came across a small restaurant that serves Shanxi cuisine. On the ninth day of the lunar month, I ordered five or six of our Shanxi specialties, as well as a side of multigrain noodles.
Zhang Ying heard that the food was quite authentic, so she asked the boss to add another box of beer.
Maybe it’s because of the smell of home, or maybe it’s the thought that Zhang Ying would do free labor when opening a store and decorating it.
My stomach also started to feel strong, and I ate more than half of a few dishes that really tasted good.
Chujiu's eyes were glaring as he grabbed the last multi-grain noodles in front of him and protected it with both hands.
"Who is that novice you were talking about before?"
On the way back to school, Zhang Ying suddenly remembered that Xiaobai and I were going shopping after dawn on the ninth day of the lunar month.
Chujiu replied that Xiaobai is the sister who will take him to eat all the delicious snacks in Chongqing, but sister Xiaobai is not as beautiful as sister Zhang Ying.
Zhang Ying breathed a sigh of relief. Among the girls around us, she was finally not the most ugly.
The wild and unconstrained thinking of girls definitely makes me feel inferior.
Just like Chujiu told Zhang Ying, she had drunk a lot, so she shouldn’t drive home by herself and would stay in our apartment tonight.
Zhang Ying nodded and agreed without thinking. There is only one bedroom. How should the three of us live there?
"My sister and Guo Guo will sleep together on the bed, and I will sleep on the sofa."
