Chapter 186, Layman
The so-called wild shed is very complicated to talk about carefully. To put it simply, a business like this that can be opened by putting a signboard on the side of the road and sitting there. It's a typical picnic shed. Physiognomy, fortune telling, word measurement, hexagram playing, performing arts, monkey tricks, begging, selling medicine, etc., people in the rivers and lakes often set up wild sheds when they run to the dock, but there is one point, looking at feng shui can not do this.
It is very simple that since ancient times, inviting a master to look at feng shui is nothing more than positioning and orienting the yin house and yang house, inspecting the auspicious luck of the home, the blessing of the ancestral tomb, etc. Further, it is to put forward various requirements, hoping that the feng shui master can give suggestions for improvement. These don't matter what kind of people they are. These are all events that have a very significant impact, and the simplest example is that people are buying houses now. I also have to go to see various real estate fairs and inquire about prices and corners. After the temptation, the on-site viewing experience environment. The merchant actually took on the work of the feng shui master of the past, and the buyer himself was a feng shui examiner. I won't make a decision lightly, and I won't be able to ask a random stranger who has a stall on the side of the road.
This kind of thing has a great impact on the life of the family and the home environment, and the master often considers it more carefully when asking a feng shui master. Most of them are invitations or introductions from relatives and friends, and they will not easily find a stranger they don't know.
There is another very important reason why fortune tellers can set up a wild shed, but those who look at feng shui cannot. Whether it is face or palmistry, it is all carried with you, and the eight characters of the birthday can also be easily reported, and you can see it on the spot. But the topography of the yin house and the yang house are distributed, and it is impossible to run around the world with you, right?
Some things cannot be described accurately just by saying or gesturing with hands, and it is impossible for people who come to the scenic area to carry with them the exact proportions of the home layout and the surrounding environment, and the most important environmental factors need to be on the scene to really check clearly.
Suppose someone is sitting in Chaotianmen Square in Chongqing. But he can see the feng shui of a house or a cemetery in Beijing, either he has already been to the scene to see it, or the person who comes to ask about feng shui has the ability to travel the party, and can take the scenery away and carry it in his mind, and unfold the picture scroll to attract people into the country. But if you really have such a great ability, do you still need to see the street and ask Mr. Feng Shui?
Since ancient times, feng shui masters have paid attention to the value of Chaolin, the legs of the porter, and the mouth of the matchmaker. There are two ways to do business, for those who are famous, they are sitting at home and waiting for someone to come to their door. What about the unrenowned? If you want to eat this bowl of rice, you also have to use the means of the rivers and lakes to blow your fame, often not by yourself, but by the mouths of relatives, friends, protΓ©gΓ©s and disciples. Seemingly passive sitting at home. In fact, secretly we must take the initiative to solicit business, so that we can raise the price.
There are also feng shui masters who do business while traveling around, which requires more refined requirements for the threshold of the rivers and lakes. Of course, you can't just set up a stall on the side of the road, but you have to go to the field. Whether it is looking at the yin house or the yang house, looking for an opportunity to talk to the main family, pointing out the deficiencies or dangers on the spot, and then giving guidance and advice, this also requires the means of the rivers and lakes to make a business. The door is one of the eight gates of the rivers and lakes, and its doorway can be bypassed, but the ingenuity and exquisiteness of each business are different.
No matter how the Fengmen master does business, in the end, he still has to go to the scene to see the feng shui to find the dragon point or check the earth's qi, even if it is deep in the mountains and mountains, it is impossible to sit on the side of the road and get the business done in a few words. In this way, the various costs of hiring a feng shui master are much higher than finding someone on the side of the road to look at the face and tell the fortune, and the process is much more troublesome.
It's better for this gentleman to set up a wild shed on the side of the road like a fortune teller, and those idlers who come and go out for a walk or travel, do you want to take a stranger home to eat and live?
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if there is business coming to the door. Someone really stopped to ask that gentleman to look at Feng Shui, would he dare to follow a stranger? Feng Shui is a big business, and it is impossible to set up a roadside stall to make several piles a day, and it is possible that it will not open for a month. And the opening can often be eaten for several months at a time.
You Fang, an insider in the insider, met a layman in the layman today, and the layman sat on the edge of the square calmly, looking calm and timid, this appearance is really first-class, You Fang couldn't help but want to laugh, so he sat on the side with a smile and watched the excitement.
When the visitors saw the man, they couldn't help but look back twice, and when they saw the words written on the white paper under his feet and the compass on the paper, they all showed curious or amused looks, and whispered to their companions as they walked by. And the gentleman also shook the fan and didn't care, and didn't take the initiative to ask for business, but watched the reactions of passers-by with interest, and seemed to find it funny.
The man's patience is really good, he sat for an hour and was calm and not anxious, and after watching the scene for a long time, the man finally got up, it turned out that it was convenient to go to the nearby public toilet, and he didn't even take the signboard and compass and threw them in place, and he was not afraid of being picked up. When he came back, he didn't sit down first, but stood in front of his "booth" and looked down at the signboard and compass thoughtfully, as if he was saying that I had written the word correctly. How did you sit for so long and there was no business
This?
Seeing that the time was almost up, You Fang, who was not far away, finally spoke: "This gentleman." Did you use to be a fortune teller? Since ancient times, the master can't afford a wild shed, and if you set up a stall to watch feng shui like this, it is impossible to have a business to come to your door.
When the man heard this, his face turned happy, and he turned around and walked over and said, "You young man is really good eyesight. I used to show people. "The most chop has just changed careers, and this afternoon Mai is the first time to come out to see the wind and a moon, what do you mean by what you just said, why don't I understand it?.
Even "the ground master can't afford the wild shed." I don't understand, it seems that he is really not from the rivers and lakes, You Fang smiled. He stood up with a smile and explained this sentence and the exquisiteness of business done by feng shui masters since ancient times. The more the man listened, the more interested he became, and his eyes glared at the boss. His expression was very focused, and after he finished speaking, he grabbed You Fang's arm and said, "I'll come out today." You're waiting for you! β
You Fang was taken aback and asked, "Do we know each other?" β
The man grabbed his arm and didn't let go: "If you don't know, you can know, I'm doing this today just to lead an expert like you to speak, I'm collecting materials for this side!" "Man, I can't ask, what the hell are you doing?
Why is it his turn to inquire about the You Fang? You Fang smiled, gently removed his hand, straightened his chest and straightened his clothes, and the shelf was also raised. After a long time, he asked rhetorically: "Didn't you look at this gentleman before?" Then take a look
As soon as the man heard this, he also came to his senses, took a step back and pointed to Youfang, "Since you asked, I will tell you the truth." You are the one who really shows people Feng Shui, although you are young but you have a lot of experience, look at your eyebrows with the vicissitudes of life, and the corners of your eyes are implied with murderous aura. Say something that might offend, you've broken the law! β
You Fang was not shocked or angry, and nodded with a smile: "You continue." β
As soon as the man saw that he had opened his mouth amazingly but did not call for color, his eyes blinked and he continued: "I see that your Yin Tang and your cheeks have a warm floating light, this is not sweating, can you ask." Are you here for a woman? If that's the case, I'll give you another sentence, you've been entangled in love lately, and it's messy to cut and untidy! If you really want to know, he paused at this point, and sighed with a long sigh at the end.
You Fang waved his hand and smiled: "Big brother, there is no need to say any more, you are very familiar with this routine, two questions, three gifts, and four sales, I believe you have shown people the appearance." But my brother also reminds you that although the shed is very round, if you really know how to read the face, you should understand that the last one just now can't be seen from the face
The man was stunned for a moment, and then nodded embarrassedly: "Yes, yes, yes, in that case, I won't say it until I look at palmistry." I always forget the order. I'm still not familiar with the business. It's so lucky to meet you, you must be a big connoisseur, it's not easy to be young! β
You Fang asked: "This gentleman, I don't think you are a professional looker, let alone a feng shui master, and you are not a local when you listen to accents. β
The man looked at You Fang with great interest and asked, "Since you are an expert, why don't you show me too?" β
You Fang muttered, "Has anyone said that; Do you look like a master of the apricot forest with advanced medical skills? β
The man nodded: "Someone really said it, but You Fang intercepted the conversation and said: "But you are not a doctor, if I see it well, you should be one." Write or engage in screenwriting! β
The man looked startled, and then patted You Fang's shoulder excitedly and said, "Young man, you are too godly."
What a god! For an old Jianghu like You Fang, it is very simple to say it in one bite, the so-called too many words must be lost, and the person has already said it just now. He said, "I'm working on this side of the material." "People who are not writers and screenwriters, go to the square to set up stalls to find some materials? The so-called amazing fairy words, You Fang must have said this sentence first, and the result is really a word
Person.
At this time. There was a bell ringing in the man's trouser pocket, he said sorry to You Fang, took out his mobile phone and answered: "Oh, Lao Tao, long time no see!" Recently, my health has been good, my family is fine, and my small situation is good, right? , what, if you want to talk to me about the company's exhibition planning, don't go to Dalian, I'm not at home.
What, someone wants to invite me to give a lecture in Qingwu? No, how can I have time, the children at home have been doing so much recently, and I don't have time at all, and I can't go or go back on the same day. , yes, yes, a few days ago, the network held a meeting in Wuzhen, and today I rushed to Chongqing again, alas, what a busy!
It's not a matter of cost, it's not that it doesn't give you face, it's just that you don't have time, and you can't spare it for a day.
International and domestic economic situation, market trend and operation of Lelo? Preparing for this topic is not a matter of one or two days, and it takes a lot of effort to make courseware? This. You still help me politely decline, thank the other party for the invitation, I really don't have time, if I really can't say goodbye, okay, goodbye! β
Putting down the truth, he also muttered: "10,000 yuan for a class, you said it earlier, I am short of money to spend recently!" I thought you were again. How can anyone talk like that? β
You Fang was a little happy when he heard this, he heard the phone call clearly just now, someone invited this gentleman to participate in an event as a guest, the time was only one afternoon, and the appearance fee was 10,000 yuan. But the other party didn't mention this stubble on the phone, but directly asked the person to go, and only mentioned the cost after being resolutely refused on the pretext. It sounds like a good pay, but the ladder has been erected and it's hard to change your mind. The man still refused what he had just said.
In fact, this hand is called a button in the doorway of the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't want to get things done, so he first puts forward the request of the troublesome person and waits for someone to find an excuse to refuse, and then says the remuneration conditions, and the other party is not good to change his words and agree. Of course, not everyone has this... Spirit, it may not be intentional, many people deal with things with tattoos, but they don't know how to do things. Inadvertently buckled the deadbolt for himself.
You Fang was also a little surprised, and asked in wonder: "Sir, listening to the phone call just now, I said something wrong?" Didn't you write it? β
The man smiled: "You're right, I haven't been to work in the company for almost ten years, and I've been writing for the past few years." The book written in the first two years involves fortune-telling and physiognomy, and I have studied a little bit, and the theme of the new book recently involves feng shui, so I came out to find material accumulation, I thought it was one of the five arts of the rivers and lakes, but I didn't expect that the interlacing is like a mountain, and the routine is completely different
You Fang: "What is your surname?" β
The man put his hand behind his back and said, "My surname is Zhou, my name is Mengzhuang, you can just call me Lao Zhou." β
You Fang asked again: "This name is very meaningful." Zhou Mengzhuang, is it a pseudonym? β
The man smiled: "Of course it's a pseudonym, I've heard that people who come out to walk the rivers and lakes and run the docks like to use pseudonyms, just like those of us who write articles." All have to use the same pseudonym. β
You Fang: "What is your pen name and what works have you written?" Maybe I've seen it too. "After serializing four books, Shen Liao, Ghost Talk, Ren Xuan, and Ling Kan, I am currently writing a book on the theme of Feng Shui, in the name of Feng Shui, mainly about all kinds of adventures in the rivers and lakes."
You Fang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Oh, yes, why is it so coincidental?" I've actually read it, no wonder I think the poems on your fan are a little familiar. I want to see "the drink is always drunk." Comforts are always affectionate. Two sentences, very touching. It's close to me. Hearing you mention that, I finally remembered the source. Note: Refer to Chapter 23 of this book, Hate not to know Wu Pingdong
Zhou Mengzhuang smiled very happily: "That's really Wei Hui!" Don't just talk about me, what's your name and what are you doing? What did you want to ask about me? You're an insider, shouldn't you be looking for a layman like me to look at feng shui? β
You Fang replied: "My surname is You, my name is You Fang, You Fang, who travels all over the world, is a person who walks the rivers and lakes and runs the docks, and by the way, he gives people a doctor." "Mr. Zhou. Actually, I want you to help with one thing, but don't worry, I won't let you help in vain, as for the reward, how many classes do you think is appropriate? β
Zhou Mengzhuang patted him on the shoulder again and said with a smile: "I don't know what is going on, what kind of reward do you want to mention in a hurry?" It's easy to say, it's easy to talk about the little wanderer. I also want to ask you for help, so let's not talk here. It's time to eat, so I'll find a private room nearby to hang out and sit and chat. I'll ask for two. β
Dizzy, Zhou Mengzhuang actually called him a little wanderer as soon as he opened his mouth! You Fang hurriedly said: "How can I let you have a treat." It's me who has something to do and takes the initiative to come to the door, of course, let me be the east. Xiaoxian, help this gentleman with the signboard and compass, find a better restaurant nearby, and we will have dinner. β
Zhou Mengzhuang waved his hand: "Don't want those things, help me throw them away, I won't meet you today." I really don't know how to read Feng Shui. β
The most famous specialty food in this place is hot pot, where the climate is humid in winter, and the spicy hot pot can warm up the body, so it has gradually formed a local character. As for eating hot pot with the air conditioner on a hot day, and adding duck blood and duck soup to the spicy pot to get irritable, it is purely a matter of taste, and it is not in line with the season.
In the private room on the second floor of a hotel near Chaotianmen Square, Zhou Mengzhuang was already sweating on his forehead. With a cold beer, I looked out the window at the square. At this time, it was almost dusk, the sun was setting, and there were more idlers walking in the square, only to hear him sigh with a little drunkenness: "I have long heard that there are many beautiful women in Chongqing, and it seems that the rumors are true." One side of the water and soil raises one side of the people, most of the girls here have good skin and good figures, these two things are pleasing to the eye, although it is hot in summer, but the beauties are dressed very cool, dare to wear anything! It's eye-catching. β
You Fang sat opposite and asked a little anxiously: "Mr. Zhou, don't patronize and look at the beautiful women first." What is your opinion? β
Hua Youxian also persuaded on the side: "Mr. Zhou, this is a good thing, and it also has your benefits." Besides, what kind of material is this to write in the future, where do you usually find it? This is a personal experience
Zhou Mengzhuang held the wine glass and replied unhurriedly: "It sounds like a good thing, but let me help the charlatans fool people, hehehehehe, I'm not interested!" To be honest, what I wrote before also involved supernatural themes and psychological content, and I did a bit of research on imagery and vision. Wanderer, you want my help. I don't believe you unless you can prove that you are really sure to heal people. β
You Fang frowned and said, "Mr. Zhou, how do you want me to prove it?" β
Zhou Mengzhuang: "The girl you said." Whether or not you have a delusion about these worlds, you have to enter the world she sees before it can change. I need you to prove to the contrary, by whatever means, that I can also see that strange visual imagery, and that it will not lead to undesirable consequences, because this disease cannot be cured. β
You Fang smiled, took out something from his backpack and asked, "You are not a layman in this regard, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't ask you for help, Mr. Zhou, please take a look." What is in my hands?.
