Chapter 179: Old Man Hu
This shroud shop usually opens at 8 a.m., and it's already past 10 a.m., so it's already open.
At this time, there is a rocking chair at the door of the shroud shop, and an old man in a white shirt sits on the rocking chair and basks in the sun.
The old man had white hair, and although he looked a little old, it was obvious that he was old and strong, and he was full of energy.
That radiant face was full of red light, looking majestic and magnificent, which made people feel very kind and comfortable.
Now the streets are sparsely populated with pedestrians, and when these pedestrians pass by the door of the shroud shop, they will say hello to the old man sitting at the door basking in the sun.
After the old man saw these greeting pedestrians, he also replied to them with great vigour.
However, although there are many people who greet each other, the business in the shroud shop is still very cold.
After all, such a thing as a dead person does not happen every day, and they can't expect people to die every day when they open a shroud shop.
Therefore, the old man has already developed a good mentality, and he is uncomfortable tying paper figures in the store every day, sorting out and sorting out money or something.
This old man is the biological grandfather of the little fat man Hu Baguan, Hu Tianba, nicknamed Hu Ye.
The name of the old man is quite powerful and domineering, but it is said that the old man was not called this name before.
The name was changed by his old man himself.
In the past, his name was Hu Dayan, because the old man's father liked to smoke very much, so he gave the old man such a beloved name.
When Mr. Hu grew up, everyone gave him a nickname called Snuffbox (Hu), and later the old man was angry and directly changed his name.
So the name Hu Tianba has been continued.
Hu Ye is very prestigious in the old city.
Because he not only runs a shroud shop, but also looks at feng shui.
And he sees it very accurately, so many people will come to him from afar to see Feng Shui.
However, although the people here know that the old man is powerful at feng shui, they don't know where Hu Ye learned this stunt.
Because Mr. Hu's family was not a local before, but moved here twenty years ago.
Some elderly people have speculated that Old Man Hu can read feng shui is probably because he used to be a captain who touched gold.
Because it was not popular to read feng shui a few decades ago, and underground workers such as touching gold were the most popular, many old people thought that Mr. Hu used to do this.
And it is said that after Mr. Hu drank too much, he also leaked a sentence or two.
But when people asked him about it, he didn't admit it, so people slowly faded down and stopped talking about it.
Old man Hu was in a good mood today, because he knew that his grandson Hu Baguan was coming back today, so he deliberately basked in the sun at the door and waited for the arrival of Hu Baguan, the little fat man.
"Squeak"
Suddenly, a strong brake sound stopped in front of the shroud shop.
This strong brake sound startled the old man Hu who was sitting on the recliner and almost threw him off the chair.
He quickly opened his eyes and saw a red Ferrari parked in front of him.
The old man's eyes lit up when he looked at the red Ferrari, and the anger on his body disappeared in an instant.
Because he knew that this was a good car, and if a good car came to the door, there must be good business, so a smile suddenly appeared on his red face.
However, before he could smile at it, he saw a chubby little fat man jump directly from the car.
After jumping off, he threw up on the Ferrari, as if he was going to vomit bile.
Old Man Hu looked at this little fat man who vomited wildly and was stunned, isn't this his precious eldest grandson Hu Baguan.
Seeing Hu Baguan vomiting wildly, the old man suddenly became anxious, and he quickly got up and walked over to Hu Baguan.
"You melon baby, what's the matter, why did you vomit like this..."Old Man Hu hurriedly patted Hu Baguan's back and said worriedly.
"Gross... Vomit... Grandpa, Grandpa... I, I'm fine... This, this bastard drives too fast... I'm a little sick from the car..."Hu Baguan explained to Old Man Hu while spitting.
Old Man Hu looked in the direction that Hu Baguan pointed to, and saw a man in a black T-shirt and light-colored jeans walking out of the car.
The man is very handsome, and his hands in his pockets are even more obsessive, and if there is a girl here, he will definitely scream.
After the man got out of the car, he walked directly to Hu Baguan.
"Made, look at your appearance, I've never made a good car in my life, I actually vomited like this once I did it, and I think Lao Tzu drove too fast? I think you have itchy skin..."Xiao Yao walked over and couldn't help but say to Hu Baguan.
At this time, Old Man Hu saw that the man in front of him was talking to his grandson so unkindly, and he immediately became angry.
He has lived here for so many years, and no one has dared to bully his precious grandson, today this kid actually said that his grandson has itchy skin, how can he not be angry.
"You melon baby, who do you say has itchy skin, I think you are itchy!"
Old Man Hu said and directly picked up the long pipe in his hand and hit Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao was startled by the old man who suddenly made a move, and he quickly jumped and dodged.
When Old Man Hu saw that Xiao Yao still dared to dodge, he was even more angry in his heart, and he was about to continue to beat Xiao Yao with a long pipe.
However, as soon as his body moved, he was quickly intercepted by Hu Baguan next to him.
"Gross... Grandpa, grandpa... Don't fight, don't fight, misunderstanding and misunderstanding... He's my mentor, and he sent me back..."Hu Baguan couldn't help but spit out and said quickly.
When Old Man Hu heard that Xiao Yao was Hu Baguan's mentor, he was stunned for a moment.
Then the red face squeezed out a little embarrassed smile, and even the accent in his mouth was gone.
"Ahh Hehe, it turned out to be the teacher of the eight cylinders, I'm sorry, I'm really embarrassed, I was a little excited just now, please don't be angry..."Old man Hu hurriedly stepped forward to shake Xiao Yao's hand and apologized.
Xiao Yao was also stunned when he saw the old man's face change so quickly.
However, he quickly reacted and quickly shook the old man's hand.
"You're welcome, you're welcome... Hu Baguan didn't catch up with the car today, he said that he was going to come back to see you in a hurry, so I drove him back directly, he said that he missed you a little, so I might drive faster, don't be angry..."Xiao Yao quickly opened his mouth and made up a reason to say to the old man.
When the old man heard Xiao Yao's words, he couldn't help but glance at Hu Bazhu, with an expression of hatred that iron is not made of steel, but his eyes when he looked at Xiao Yao were full of gratitude.
"Okay, thank you, thank you, thank you, teacher, please..."
Old Man Hu smiled and hurriedly welcomed Xiao Yao into the shroud shop.
Xiao Yao looked at the suddenly enthusiastic old man, and a smile appeared on his face, and then he followed the old man in.
After entering the shroud shop, Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment.
To be honest, he hadn't really been to such a place.
I've only heard of it before, but I've never really entered this kind of place, after all, this kind of place is still relatively unlucky.
After entering the door, the old man directly arranged Xiao Yao to sit down at a round table in the store, which is usually used to receive guests.
After Xiao Yao sat down, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the furnishings in the room.
The room didn't look very big, and it was full of funeral items, like some papier-mâché dolls, and lifelike white horses, all over the place.
In addition to these, there are wreaths, paper money, silver wallets, incense, and all kinds of things.
These things fill up the storefront, which is not too large, and it feels a little crowded.
Old Man Hu saw Xiao Yao observing the furnishings in the room, he smiled awkwardly on his old face, and hurriedly walked over with a pot of tea.
"You're Teacher Xiao, aren't you, I'm really embarrassed, my store here is a little small, it seems a little crowded, don't worry about it..."The old man quickly poured Xiao Yao a cup of tea and said with a chuckle.
Xiao Yao looked at the old man so politely, shook his head lightly and smiled.
"The old man is polite, I won't care about this..."
