Out of the City God Temple, Liu Wenyang went straight to his father's fortune-telling booth.

In the winter, Daddy Liu shrunk his neck and squinted his eyes, lying on the table and napping. Yi Feiyang had to admire his father's ability to resist the cold, so that he could fall asleep?

Hearing his son's footsteps, Liu Da rubbed his eyes and said busily: "No one, squint for a while." ”

"What's your relationship with that iron mouth?" Liu Wenyang swept the fine snow on the table with his hand.

"He? used to be peers, but now that people are famous, we can't afford to climb high. ”

"That's all?"

"That's all! By the way, why do you ask this? ”

"Nothing, just ask." Liu Wenyang was perfunctory, "Okay, the guests are here, hurry up and pick up the guests!" ”

"What, pick up customers?" Liu Da glanced at a wealthy woman wearing a Luo shirt and embroidered jacket who walked not far away, "Your father and I are a serious person, and I will never make a living like picking up customers!" ”

As we all know, ** women greet guests the most enthusiastic, and they will show their red sleeves when they are far away, "Come on, uncle, play for a while!" "A lot of people who didn't want to go in were recruited. But in Liu Da's opinion, it was very lowly, very humble, and not a gentleman's doing!

Liu Wenyang didn't expect his father to be so old-fashioned, so he had to sigh and say, "If you don't do it, then it's no fun." ”

Sure enough, the woman passed by the fortune-telling booth and didn't even look at it, but went directly up the steps to worship the god in the temple.

Forget about one, but gradually there are more pilgrims, and people all walk past the fortune-telling stalls, and Liu Da just can't be cheeky to receive customers, let alone shout. Of course, those people are like flowing water, and they have passed through the first-class process.

Now Liu Wenyang has figured out why his father's business is so bad.

In Liu Da's view, setting up a stall to tell fortunes by himself is that Jiang Taigong is taking the bait for fishing wishes, and there is no need to be cheeky to solicit guests, for example, "Come, count a hexagram!" "Come, I'll help you approve the eight characters!"

But in Liu Wenyang's view, this is very inconsistent with the principles of economics.

For doing business, the most important part is "publicity"! The so-called aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, not to mention that your "wine" is not so fragrant.

Seeing that the hour is approaching noon, people want to pray for the blessing of the city god before the New Year, so the pilgrims are weaving. But the Liu family's father and son have not yet had a business in front of the stall, if you have to describe it, it is a net.

In contrast, the business of Zhang Tiezui in the City God Temple is extremely prosperous. Because many people come out of it and talk about how well they are doing in it.

"Zhang Shenxian said that I will definitely have a son this year, it seems that our Li family has a queen!" A middle-aged rich man said.

"Zhang Shenxian criticized me for eight characters, and I must pass the township test this year!" A white-faced scholar said.

"Zhang Shenxian ......"

"Zhang Shenxian ......"

One by one, these people walked past Liuda's fortune-telling booth, and the words of praise couldn't help but reach Liuda's ears.

"Hmph, who can't say good words! What an iron-mouthed god, it's not like me, it's all about eating with mouths! "Liuda doesn't have half of the business, so it's inevitable to complain.

Listening to his father's nagging, Liu Wenyang didn't think so, because just now he consciously looked at the faces of several praisers, and his "fiery eyes" turned out to be exactly the same as what Zhang Tiezui criticized. In other words, that iron mouth is not talking nonsense, but really knows how to look at appearances, and his skills are not bad.

More than half an hour passed. The fortune teller stall is more and more deserted, and those passers-by don't seem to bother to look at this side at all, too, although the three cents are not much, many people would rather spend ten cents to find the "divine calculation" Zhang Tiezui, rather than find this famous nonsense willow stick.

Look at Zhang Tiezui in the City God Temple indoors, there are Taoist children serving, biting the spout of the teapot and drinking small tea, and the guests are lined up, waiting for him to give his approval.

"What happened to the fortune-telling stall surnamed Liu?" Occasionally, Zhang Shensuan will also "care" about the "old guys" outside. When he heard the answer that "no one cared", Zhang Shensuan would show a smile of "I expected it to be like this".

I don't know when, there are more and more people at the City God Temple. There is an endless stream of good men and women.

Liu Da, who didn't care about it, also began to feel uncomfortable, if it was in the past, he would not be like this, but now his son is on the side, he used to blow the conch, saying how good the business is, how good he is, and now he has become a laughing stock.

Liu Wenyang is still thinking about Aunt Jin's arrears, if the business is still so cold, it is estimated that he and his father will be swept away if they can't survive the New Year. Thinking of this, Liu Wenyang secretly gritted his teeth, "No, you can't just sit still!" ”

So he asked his father, "How much money do you have?" ”

"Yes, yes, but that's all!" Liuda found out the money and didn't know what his son was going to do.

Liu Wenyang didn't explain, but said: "You just wait to watch a good show!" ”

After collecting five cents, Liu Wenyang had already set his goal and found a green skin that was shaking his legs and gnawing on sugarcane on the side of the road. After a brief conversation, an agreement was reached.

Turning around, Liu Wenyang found a thick piece of yellow paper, rolled it into a horn, and said to his father: "Borrow a table!" Then in the dad's stunned, he stepped on the chair directly and got on the table, facing the endless stream of pilgrims, and began to publicize the loudspeaker.

"Take a look, take a look, Liu Banxian fortune teller Tong Su is not bullied! Originally, three pennies and one hexagram, now there is a big reward, and two pennies can be counted as one hexagram, and buy two get one free! The heavenly spirit is the spirit of the earth, and our Liu family god is the most spiritual! The Emperor of Heaven and the Emperor of the Earth, our Liu family is strong! In a word, you don't want money if you don't work! ”

All the pilgrims in front of them were shocked by Liu Wenyang's voice, they had seen people soliciting customers on the street, but they had never seen such a ...... Such a blatant praise of one's own own.

Especially the content of the shouting, it is too public!

So their first instinct is curiosity, and then they wait...... Waiting to see the play.

And at this time, the play meat is coming!

Out of the crowd came out of the green skin biting sugarcane, ragged clothes and hats, sloppy, looked at the fortune-telling stall of the Liu family, shook his legs and spit out a mouthful of sugarcane bagasse and said: "Fortune teller, look at your shouting is very strong, dare you give me one!" ”

Liu Wenyang hurriedly jumped off the table, "Don't want money!" You may be seated! ”

The green skin didn't think the chair was dirty, so he sat down, kicked the edge of the chair with one leg, bit the sugar cane in his mouth, and squirted: "I'm not allowed to look at a bird!" It's better to be like this, if it's accurate, I'll give you three pennies for the original price, and if it's not, you will compensate me ten times, how?! ”

Liu Da might as well make a stab in his head, and was about to open his mouth to shirk it, but Liu Wenyang was the first to speak: "Why is this difficult!" It's just that I will lose you ten times, it's a bit too ......."

"It's too hard to do, isn't it? Then you're still doing bullshit business! You all say, isn't it? "Qingpi instigated the surrounding humanity.

"Yes---" the crowd laughed.

Even Daddy Liuda blushed a little, feeling that his son was simply humiliating himself by doing this.

Liu Wenyang wiped his nose with his hand nonchalantly and said, "I mean, it's too boring to compensate you ten times, it's better to ...... Don't pay a hundredfold! ”

There was a bang, and everyone around was stunned. The heart said, is this guy crazy? If you are not a madman, how can you say such nonsense? I even asked for a hundred times the compensation!

How much is a hundred times a penny? A lot of people can't figure it out, but they know it's a lot!

Daddy Liuda's eyes were about to pop out in surprise, "Ah Yang, you, you, you're not joking, are you?" ”

Liu Wenyang patted his father and comforted: "Don't worry, I believe in your strength!" ”

Liu Da had a bitter face and said in his heart: "But I don't believe in myself!" ”

The people of the Ming Dynasty seem to have the spirit of gathering together to watch the excitement, and after a short time, they have been surrounded by three layers of fortune-telling in the Liu family.

The green skin also has some acting skills, pretending to roll up his sleeves, squinting his eyes and saying: "This is what you said, don't regret it!" If you lose, you will lose a hundredfold! ”

Then he rolled his eyes and said: "In order to let the big guy testify, lest you calculate the right and I say the wrong and pull each other's skins, I will write out the answer first and see if you are right!" ”

"So good! So let's get started! Liu Wenyang pushed his father Liu Da out, after all, he is the protagonist.

Liu Da was worried, he didn't know what his precious son was doing, if he didn't pay attention to the miscalculation, it would be a trivial matter to be smashed by someone, and it would be a big deal to pay 300 yuan. At that time, even if the meat on the two of them is scraped and sold, it is estimated that it will not be enough to make up 300 Wen!

At this moment, all the people around him were looking at Liu Da energetically, and even some of them were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and their eyes widened to see if this old fortune teller would cheat......

Being stared at by others, Liu Da was miserable, but Liu Wenyang, who was a "pit father", smiled and prepared the paper, ink, pen and inkstone.

Begin!

Qingpi tilted his head, pretended to think for a while, and said, "You do the math first, does my father have a brother?" ”

Liuda: "Look at your face......"

Without waiting to finish speaking, Liu Wenyang: "Yes, and it's three, your dad is the second!" ”

Qingpi blinked his eyes, and then in front of everyone, he opened the paper on which he had written words, and a "three, two" was written crookedly!

The people next to him wowed, "It's quite accurate!" "yes, it's pretty smart."

Qingpi coughed, "Second question, does my mother have sisters?" ”

Liuda: "Look at your face......"

Liu Wenyang interjected again: "Yes, and it's five, your mother is third!" ”

Qingpi's expression was sluggish, and then he lifted the paper, and a "five, three" was written crookedly on it.

"It's really a half-immortal, it's right again!"

"That's right, it looks like this fortune teller is a bit of a trick!"

"Yes, not only is it right, but it is also more accurate, and even the ranking is more accurate!"

……

The surrounding people who watched the excitement exclaimed again, and as for Daddy Liu, he looked at his son with incredible eyes, and said in his heart, could it be that this kid was born to eat this mouthful? !

Since ancient times, any business has paid attention to popularity, and what is called popularity is that the more people gather in front of the stall, the more people like to squeeze over to have a look. In a very academic term, it is called "herd mentality".

At this moment, many people gathered in front of the fortune-telling booth of the Liu father and son.

In fact, the trick that Liu Wenyang used just now is called "making double reeds" on the rivers and lakes.

Traditionally, the face teller usually hires people as accomplices, that is, "boot-wearers", crowding into the crowd and pretending to be a watcher. In front of the audience, the fortune teller had his brother or wife alone write on a slip of paper behind his back. "The one with the boots" looked at it, and then gave a code to the fortune teller. For example, the "one who sticks the boots" uses the eyeball to make a code, and the stipulation is one on the left, two on the right, three on the right, four up, five down, and the jargon is called "making a double reed".

But in front of him, he was invited by Liu Wenyang to be a "boot-sticker" green skin, but he was very surprised in his heart, or he was stupid.

Why?

Because from the beginning, he didn't have time to make a code, Liu Wenyang had already said the answer accurately!

What does this mean?

It shows that people really calculated it, and there was no cheating at all!

If at the beginning, this green skin's "acting" was still very contrived, both in expression and action were exaggerated, then now, his face is stunned, unbelievable, and surprised after the facts, and there is no need to deliberately perform at all.

O gods, this is!
