Chapter 23 The Lion Opens Its Mouth
Renjia Town, Yizhuang.
morning.
"Didn't Master say that he would go to Ren's house today?" Qiu Sheng asked.
I just received news that I will not be going to Ren’s house.
Wencai replied: "Yes, but there is a big boss who asked the master to look at the Feng Shui."
"How old?" Qiu Sheng was surprised.
"He bought the teahouse of Mr. Ren and the rice shop, and also gave out free porridge on the street." Wencai was excited when he told the story. "And he directly squeezed out the porridge shop's business. Those bosses were unhappy and went to him to settle the score. Guess what happened?"
"How is it?" Qiu Sheng asked hurriedly.
"He directly paid those bosses to help him cook porridge and distribute it for free."
"Ah?" Qiu Sheng felt a little dizzy after hearing this. This was beyond the scope.
But there was one thing he understood: this boss was very rich!
"Since he is so rich, we must definitely rip him off!" Qiu Sheng's voice was not small at all.
"Who do you want to kill? Am I a gangster?" Uncle Jiu's cold voice sounded from behind the two of them.
The two were startled and stood up straight immediately.
Uncle Jiu walked out of the charity cemetery with his hands behind his back, and his voice came at the same time: "Ahem, but the labor costs and material costs have been rising recently, so it is necessary for us to increase them a little bit."
Qiu Sheng and Wencai looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.
understood!
"Master, leave it to us!"
When the master and his two disciples arrived at the South Teahouse, they saw a handsome man waiting at the door, but neither Qiu Sheng nor Wencai paid attention to him.
"He's just as handsome as me, nothing special." X2
They saw Nianying and Tingting standing on the left and right of Tan Wenjie, which made them very jealous. However, when they saw the soldiers standing guard with guns, they suddenly felt that being jealous of others was a bad behavior and they should change it.
"Boss Tan."
"Ninth Uncle."
This was not the first time the two had met, but today was the first time they had greeted each other.
"Boss Ren told me that you, Uncle Jiu, are good at helping people with Feng Shui." Tan Wenjie pointed to the teahouse behind him, "I like this teahouse very much, but I don't plan to tear it down and rebuild it, so I would like to ask you, Uncle Jiu, to help me look at the layout and redecorate it."
Uncle Jiu nodded and was about to speak.
Qiu Sheng, who was standing by, suddenly came over and said, "Hey, my master charges a lot for Feng Shui."
"Of course the price has to be negotiated in advance. I wonder what Uncle Jiu's price is?" Tan Wenjie looked at Uncle Jiu.
It is not in Uncle Jiu's style to bring up money first when meeting someone, as it will make people feel that he is greedy for money. The normal practice is to look at the feng shui first, point out one or two problems, show off his skills, and then everyone discusses the price.
Uncle Jiu just raised his hand to stop Qiu Sheng and was ready to follow the procedure. Not to mention the long distance, there was also the big business of moving coffins and relocating graves for Master Ren's family. If he damaged Master Ren's face, would Master Ren still be able to do business?
Qiu Sheng noticed that Uncle Jiu slowly opened the five fingers of his right hand.
understood!
"Five hundred dollars!"
"Cough cough!" Uncle Jiu was choked.
"Five hundred dollars? You can buy all the shops on the whole street with that." Before Tan Wenjie could say anything, Nianying came over unhappily and grabbed Tan Wenjie's arm. "Wenjie, don't look for them. My sister knows a very powerful person. He will definitely not be so black-hearted."
Tingting, who was standing by, also pouted and looked very unhappy. She thought that the person recommended by her father was unreliable and was raising the price.
"It's fifty yuan, hehe, fifty yuan." Seeing that his master had an unhappy expression on his face, Qiu Sheng immediately changed the number.
"Fifty dollars? You're asking for too much. Do you think I'm a bandit?" Uncle Jiu couldn't stand it any longer. A good deal was going to fail before it even started. He also lost face.
"10 yuan, please." Tan Wenjie didn't care about Qiu Sheng's exorbitant price and said to Uncle Jiu, "For a master like Uncle Jiu, 10 yuan is still worth it."
Although it was a bit embarrassing, the cost was twice as much as expected, so Uncle Jiu's expression relaxed a little.
However, Qiu Sheng is definitely in trouble.
……
"There's nothing wrong with the teahouse, but if Boss Tan plans to renovate and reopen it, there are still some things that need to be changed."
Uncle Jiu is still very reliable at work.
His two apprentices followed behind him, whispering to each other. It was obvious that they had learned nothing and had no intention of learning anything.
Tan Wenjie wanted to learn, but there was no one to guide him, so he had no way to learn even if he wanted to.
"Uncle Jiu, I'll have to trouble you to take care of the rest." Tan Wenjie said.
Checking Feng Shui is just the first thing to do. There is also decoration later, which requires Uncle Jiu to follow up and explain in detail, as well as the opening of the new store, etc.
"Why don't you stay for lunch?" Tan Wenjie took the initiative to invite.
"No, we still have an appointment with Master Ren." Uncle Jiu shook his head.
"Is that so? Then it won't delay Uncle Jiu's work."
Tan Wenjie nodded slightly and took out the red envelopes he had prepared long ago. There were some for not only Uncle Jiu, but also Qiu Sheng and Wencai.
"Wow, so grand?" Qiu Sheng was surprised.
"Thank you, Mr. Tan!" Wencai smiled in surprise.
Seeing this, Uncle Jiu coughed lightly, and then said to Tan Wenjie: "Boss Tan has a lot of evil spirit between his eyebrows. You must know that it is easy to break when you are strong, so you must forgive others when you can."
Tan Wenjie had a good attitude and gave a lot, so it was difficult for Uncle Jiu to pretend not to see Tan Wenjie's situation.
"Something did happen to me recently. I won't hide it from Uncle Jiu..."
Upon hearing this, Tan Wenjie did not hide anything, but told him his recent experiences in detail, from how he found a Taoist priest in Minmao to learn boxing, health preservation and magic, to the death of his uncle, and how his fellow villagers and the government of the previous dynasty were going to hold him hostage to divide up the family property. Fortunately, Tan Wenjie accidentally got guns and soldiers on his trip to the provincial capital, and he had to kill people, but he did not leave the bodies exposed in the wilderness, but buried them properly with a complete funeral.
Nianying and Tingting, who were standing by, had never expected that after they separated from Wenjie, he would have gone through so many things when he returned home. They all looked at him with heartache.
Qiu Sheng whispered, "He was so happy. He went out for a walk and found out that his uncle had died when he came back. He inherited a million-dollar fortune directly."
Wencai nodded, agreeing deeply. He actually met Nianying and Tingting when he went on a blind date. What a shit luck!
The two of them spoke loudly and were heard by Uncle Jiu, who snorted again and glared at them coldly. Tingting and Nianying glared at them even more angrily. It was Wenjie. If it were someone else, he would have lost his only uncle who he could rely on first, and then been targeted by the entire town, and he would have been dead for sure. Yet these two people only thought about the million-dollar family fortune.
His gaze was as cold as a knife. The two men lowered their heads and dared not speak, but they did not think there was anything wrong with their previous comments.
"So that's how it is. You've learned Maoshan techniques and worshipped the Three Pure Ones, so you're my Maoshan disciple. But the evil spirit in you is too strong. It's definitely not as simple as killing someone."
"The Taoist who taught me said that this school is called Broken Clothes and Stomping the Ground. I once asked Zhou Cang to possess me and slay ghosts and fight evil spirits. I wonder if there is any connection?"
"Zhou Cang, who is that?" Wencai asked in a low voice.
Nianying and Tingting also looked confused.
Qiu Sheng was much more "learned". He clenched his fist and put it to his mouth, coughed softly, and said, "Ahem, Zhou Cang, he is the one holding the sword beside Master Guan."
This is where his showing off ends, and I don’t know what else he did.
When Guan Erye was mentioned, everyone present finally nodded in agreement, and everyone recognized him.
"It is related, but not much." Uncle Jiu nodded and shook his head. He couldn't figure out why Tan Wenjie had such a strong evil spirit. After asking about his birth date and horoscope, he calculated with his fingers and found that although Tan Wenjie was born to be rich, he should have nothing to do with murder and arson, and there was even a death disaster in his fate.
Finally, Uncle Jiu could only say, "It's fate."
