The front of the business card had the words 'Fu Ze Tang' printed in bold. I was confused by the name of the store. What kind of store is this? It sells medicine? I looked at the back and saw a few lines of small characters written on it.
'Invite Buddha statues to your home to ensure peace forever. Professionally handle weddings, weddings and funerals. Contact: Mr. Wen.'
What does this shop do? Is it a fortune-telling parlor? I asked the uncle in confusion, and the uncle smiled and said to me: "This is a shop opened by an old friend of mine. It mainly sells Buddha statues. Two days ago
He told me that the previous clerk at his place quit, so he asked me to help find a clerk. His place is usually very busy, and the salary is not low. Would you consider it?"
At this time, I was stunned, God, why did you suddenly open your eyes? I am worried about not being able to find a job, and you suddenly gave me such a good opportunity. Looking at the things written on the back of the business card, I
You can probably figure out that this shop is the 'Fortune Telling Shop' that is rumored in the world.
The so-called fortune-telling parlor, in my mind at that time, was almost the same as eating food from the underworld, because in the old society, many yin-yang masters made a living by opening shops. However, due to the special nature of their profession, they usually
They often also do some other part-time jobs, such as opening fortune-telling parlors, Jishantang (Buddhist hall), coffin shops, charity shops, etc. I think back then, Mr. Liu in Nianzishan opened a coffin shop. They were usually open.
When something happens, he regains his other identity and succumbs to demons among the people.
Isn't this specially designed for me? You know, buddy, I am the heir of the authentic "Sanqingshu"! I actually thought about finding a job in a shop like this before, but now there is harmony in big cities.
It's amazing. I don't know which stores are really doing this. If I apply for a job rashly, I'm going to make a fool of myself.
But just when I was worried about not having a job, what a coincidence, this job came to me! How could I not feel happy? It seems that my luck is really going to turn around this time, and it just so happened that I
I can also learn some skills in that store, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I can open a small store of my own. Helping others like Mr. Liu and making money myself, isn't this the life I dream of?
I was overjoyed, and I quickly picked up my wine glass and said excitedly to the uncle: "Uncle, thank you! I was worried about what to do. We don't know each other, but I received such a great favor from you for no reason. Thank you."
The uncle waved his hand to me and said: "It's just a trivial matter, it doesn't matter. As the saying goes, one side is fate. This can only be said to be our fate. My old friend just called me yesterday. You are here today."
Just coming to my place for dinner, isn’t this considered a kind of fate? It’s just a simple effort from me.”
After listening to what the uncle said, I felt warm in my heart. It seems that there are still many good people in this society. Just like the uncle in front of me, what a good uncle, he is really my noble man. Seeing the uncle so enthusiastic
, I was really at a loss and didn’t know what to say. So I didn’t say anything and hurriedly toasted to the uncle and the aunt next to me, my gratitude was all in the wine.
Once a person's heart is open, he can even drink alcohol. At this time, I no longer had any worries, so after drinking four bottles of beer, basically nothing happened. I made up my mind,
This meal must not be treated by the uncle, otherwise I will have nowhere to put my face. When I finished the meal, I secretly put down a hundred yuan, which was considered as meal money.
Unexpectedly, my uncle has a very good drinking capacity. I have already gone to the toilet three times with four bottles of beer, but my uncle is still sitting on the stool leisurely. I thought to myself that I really met an expert today.
And the uncle seemed to be a good drinker. When he saw that he had finished the wine and I was not too drunk, he went to get eight more bottles of beer. As soon as the wine started to get stronger, I stopped refusing. We were one old and one old.
During the conversation, the young man actually felt like we were old friends at first sight. Soon, eight bottles of beer were consumed by the two of us.
I have basically reached my limit now. If I drink anymore, I will probably vomit 120% of the time, and the uncle has almost drank, so we smoked and talked. Only then did I learn that the uncle
The uncle’s name is Yuan De.
I said to the uncle: "Uncle, don't blame me for my ink marks, but I still have to say thank you."
The uncle took a puff of his cigarette, then looked at me and said with a smile: "How many times have I told you, you should be grateful for fate, not me. You must know that my eyes are very accurate in seeing people."
After he finished speaking, he blinked his smiling eyes, and then I noticed that his eyes were so dark, to be exaggerated, they were as deep as black gems. I don’t know if I had an illusion or something.
, anyway, this is the first time I have seen such pure black eyes.
Maybe it was because I drank too much, so I didn’t think much about it. Before I knew it, it was already past four in the afternoon, and I had been drinking with the uncle in this small noodle shop for nearly an afternoon. I thought.
I didn’t want to disturb you anymore, so I got up and said to the uncle, thank you, uncle. I will bring my friends to taste your craftsmanship next time.
The uncle was still smiling. He stood up and said to me, I won’t send you off anymore, take care of yourself and come back often in the future.
I nodded, and when the couple wasn't paying attention, I quietly placed a hundred dollars on the chair I was sitting on. Then I walked out of the noodle shop and took a taxi home.
When I got home, I saw Bao Jinlong making dinner and his wife eating melon seeds and watching a movie. They saw me coming back smelling of alcohol and asked me if I had finished eating.
I nodded and told them that my work was finally clear. They were also happy for me. After chatting with them for a few words, I returned to my hut and fell on the bed. After all, the wine
I drank too much and felt really uncomfortable.
After I fell asleep, I seemed to have had a strange dream. In the dream, I was wearing a yellow Taoist uniform, with Luogeng in my left hand and a mahogany sword in my right hand. I was posing repeatedly in a square, with countless beauties watching.
After seeing my handsome and heroic appearance, they rushed up to me to shake my hand and ask for my autograph. Because there were so many people, the scene inevitably became chaotic. Those beauties tore at my gi, and then they actually started talking.
Kiss me, but kissing turned into biting. In the blink of an eye, I almost peed my pants. I saw those beauties instantly turned into zombies, some like the zombies in those foreign movies, vying to bite me.
Hold me.
I was so frightened that I suddenly opened my eyes and found that it was already the next day. This disgusting nightmare made me sweat in cold sweats. When I go to bed after being drunk, my head hurts easily when I wake up. This is common sense that every drinker knows
.
My mind went blank. I touched my pants pocket and found a business card lying there quietly. Haha, buddy, I'm going to apply for a job today.
I looked at the time and saw that it was now 10:20, which was almost noon. I might as well go in the afternoon. Since I was in a good mood, I went downstairs to buy some food. I will cook some of my specialty dishes at noon today. Look at me like this
Huan Shi Jin'er, both Bao Long and his wife despise me. They don't even have a word about me, so they are poor and happy.
Of course I disdain them. How do these mortals know what I am capable of? I am not bragging. I have all these guys together, even if I don’t mention the noodle shop uncle’s recommendation, I am sure that I will successfully apply for the job. Of course, this is just
It's just talk, you still have to mention what needs to be mentioned. After all, no one wants to have trouble with work.
After the meal, I spent more than an hour dressing up to look as energetic as possible. Then I took a taxi and went to the store according to the address on the business card.
I never thought there was such a remote place in Daowai District. After I got off the car and looked at the area, it was mostly dirty and messy. The narrow cement road was pockmarked by vehicles, and the two rows of poplar trees on the roadside had strange shapes.
The branches were drooping, and it seemed that no one had repaired them for some time. The buildings on both sides were also old, and they were still old red brick buildings. In front of the building, there were two or three old men and old ladies playing poker.
I asked people how to get to Fuzetang. After turning a few corners at the intersection, a shabby storefront attracted my attention.
Zetang'. It seems that this is it. But what I find strange is that there is a similar shop in the building opposite Fuzetang, called 'Yi Fu Guan'.
I couldn't help but sigh, I didn't expect that in such a remote place, there could be competition for such an off-the-beaten-path business.
When I came to the door of Fuze Hall, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After sorting out my emotions, I opened the door and walked in. As soon as I opened the door, the smell of incense came to my nostrils, and I immediately felt the atmosphere here.
, the store was surrounded by various Buddha statues, some big and small, some happy and some angry. I saw a computer desk in the corner of the room, and a middle-aged man was sitting in front of the computer, looking at something intently.
This man was about forty or fifty years old. He was wearing a beige tunic suit, with slightly long hair and a mustache. He stared at the computer with his small eyes narrowed, and showed a somewhat lewd smile.
It seems that he is Mr. Wen, but his honor really makes it impossible for me to think that he is eating food from the underworld. The gap between this and my imagination is a bit too big.
But I came here for a job, not a blind date, so I stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Wen?"
Only then did he notice me. After taking a look at me, he said to me: "That's right. Do you want to invite Buddha? Over there, you can choose whatever you want."
I said to her: "No, Mr. Wen, I was introduced by Uncle Yuan yesterday and I'm here to apply for a job." I noticed that Mr. Wen was playing Landlords. Why do so many people like to play this game?
?
As soon as he heard that I was not here to spend money, he turned to play poker again. While playing cards, he asked me: "Old Yuan Tou introduced you here? What is your name? Do you have any previous work experience?"
Hmm? Why do you need work experience? I have killed a few dirty things. I don’t know if this counts. It probably doesn’t. So I said to him: "Mr. Wen, my name is Cui Zuofei. I just graduated this year, so I don’t have a job."
Experience, but I can learn.”
After he looked at me again, he said directly to me: "The monthly salary is one thousand, and the probation period is eight hundred, and the probation period is three months. If you think it's okay, you can go to work tomorrow."
Damn it, he was very direct and didn’t ask me anything else. It seems that Uncle Yuan has a lot of face. Thinking about it, a thousand yuan a month is enough for me. It’s better to do less than to do more. He didn’t ask me
I was free, so I immediately said: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Wen."
He didn't turn to look at me anymore, he was still concentrating on playing Landlords. He waved to me and said: "Okay, I don't worry about the person Lao Yuan is looking for. You go back and get ready first. Tomorrow at eight o'clock
It's half time at work. By the way, don't call me sir, it sounds awkward. Just call me Uncle Wen."
