Chapter 30 JK (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
"Why a shrine and not a temple?"
This is the first very important slot.
Although both Shinto and Buddhism sound like they fall under the realm of idealistic metaphysics, Fu Jixian felt that things like funerals should still fall under the business of Buddhism...... This refers specifically to Japanese Buddhism.
In Japan, monks are a special profession that is not a monk, with a fixed workflow and scope of work, a highly professional and stylized one.
"At first, we wanted to turn the shrine into a temple, but there was strong opposition at the time, so we had to continue like this...... Rest assured, we have cooperation agreements with fixed temples. Shinoshi explained.
Fu Jixian said that I have nothing to worry about, and can this kind of thing be cooperated?
"Graveyard...... Is it profitable? ”
Running a cemetery, since it can be said so, then this line must be profitable, so Fu Jixianli is actually asking how big the "benefit" is.
"The cost of hiring a monk for a funeral is about 2 million yen; It is not uncommon for cemeteries to cost between 1.2 million and 4 million yen for cemeteries over 1.5 square meters, and even higher, and for medium-quality tombstones to cost more than 1.5 million yen...... In Tokyo, wanting to die with 'decency' often means expensive spending. ”
Xiao Yuan Shi reported one number after another, Fu Jixian silently calculated it, and felt that this would simply exceed 10 million......
"So there are a lot of people who now enshrine the bones of their loved ones in temples or temples, or more simply, in their own homes...... There are some people who can't be buried.
But I think you should also know what kind of data the aging rate in Japan is. ”
"I see."
Yes, Fu Jixian understands again, Japan is a country with a serious aging population, which means that many people die every year.
The reality is so outrageous, some things are obviously a "sunset industry", but it is actually a "sunrise industry".
"What about selling the cemetery?"
Fu Jixian asked again, now he thought he was here to do this work.
"I'll leave it to the shrine too."
"Package...... Underwriting? ”
Can this also be underwritten or sold as an agent?
"So we have cooperated very happily over the years, and Fu Jixian has given up some of the benefits, but saved special operation and management costs."
It's obviously talking about things related to dead people, but there is no shredging in Shino's tone, and there is a bit of a "it's all business" feeling.
"Now let's go meet the 'owner' of the shrine."
The two circled back to the front and entered the main hall of the shrine. At this time, a middle-aged man happened to walk out.
"Mr. Suzuki."
"Oh, Miss Shinohara."
After greeting each other, Shinoshi introduced the other two, "Rikun, this is Mr. Akishin Suzuki, who is in charge of running the Tsukirihata Shrine; Mr. Suzuki, here is Mr. Kenri Fuji, who has been assigned by the head office to serve as a commercial commissioner at the shrine from today. ”
"Mr. Fu Jixian, hello, welcome to the Moonlit Banner Shrine."
"Hello."
Suzuki Qiuxin took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Fu Ji Xianli, obviously he had judged Fu Ji Xianli's identity from his surname and the position he held...... The shrine needs a fart "business commissioner".
"Mr. Fu Jixian has just decided to join the work, and at this stage learning and practice is the main purpose, so Mr. Suzuki just needs to manage the shrine in the same way as before, but please take care of it if necessary......"
Suzuki Akishin took the two to the reception room for a reception, and then Shinomoto said the same thing.
Fu Jixian was a little sad...... Lishi, do you want to make it so obvious?
"Do the salary, don't do the right thing, it is recommended to place and ignore", the essence under the cover of decorative language, is always so ruthless and sad.
This made Suzuki Akishin feel a little relieved, the son and successor of the big boss was suddenly coming to work at the shrine, this kind of news was very surprising at first glance, and he must be worried that Fu Jixian would point fingers.
Fortunately, the above gave this "son" a relatively clear positioning.
After learning that his job could not be called a job, he was a little polite, and the sad Fu Ji Xianli didn't want to stay here any longer, so he said to Suzuki, "Mr. Suzuki, can I visit the shrine?" ”
"Of course, if Mr. Fu Jixian is interested......" As he spoke, Suzuki Akishin stood up, walked out of the reception room, and said to the outside, "Miss Manaka, please take Mr. Fu Jixian on a tour of the shrine and its surroundings." ”
So, Suzuki and Shinoshi continued to talk about things, while Fu Jixian left the reception room led by a long-haired girl who looked like a high school student and wore a shrine maiden costume.
Fu Ji Kenri followed behind the other party, he was not really interested in the shrine, so he had to try to make small talk with the young witch lady. Interested in JK is a reasonable and lawful act.
"True...... Miss,Shouldn't you be a professional witch.,Come to the shrine to work during the holidays? ”
Shrines and temples are mostly family-run and iterative, such as the Hiiragi family, which runs the Eagle Palace Shrine, and the four sisters Hiiragi, Hiiragi, Hiiragi, Hiiragi, and Hiiragi often work as shrine maidens.
Because the girl in front of her is not surnamed Suzuki but Zhenzhong, Fu Jixianli guesses that she is here to work.
Speaking of which, there are always a few Japanese surnames that will be memorable, such as Akizuki, Manaka, Kazami and the like.
"It's a part-time job, but it's not a part-time job, it's a part-time job...... It's just a hobby of mine. ”
It sounds like Miss Manaka is using the shrine maiden's job as an opportunity to cosplay openly.
However, Fu Jixianli did not notice that the other party deliberately separated "vacation" from "leisure time" when he spoke.
"Mr. Fu Jixian, are you from that Fu Jixian?"
"I don't know which you're referring to, but because my last name is special, I ...... Probably yes. ”
Manaka didn't take Fu Ji Xianli to visit the shrine, but the two walked out of the main hall of the shrine again and went straight to the cemetery behind.
"Masanaka-sanaka?"
Fu Jixian was a little confused.
"Since Mr. Fu Jixian is from the head office, of course he should pay attention to the 'main business' of the shrine, and now the core of the Tsukihata Shrine is actually the cemetery behind it...... So, shouldn't you take a look over there first? ”
Manaka said.
This seemed to make some sense, so Fu Jixian didn't say anything more.
After a while, the two came to the door of the cemetery.
There is a security booth at the door, and the security guard here should probably be called the tomb keeper, and under the leadership of Zhenzhong, Fu Ji Xianli naturally entered the cemetery.
The scope of this cemetery is large, but once you enter it, it seems that Manaka has a clear destination. She went straight to the depths of the cemetery, and after a few moments stopped in front of a tombstone.
After stopping, she first handed out a business card to Fu Jixian, "Mr. Fu Jixian, you seem to have misunderstood my identity. ”
Fu Jixianli took the business card, only to see that there were only two lines of words printed on the front of the business card:
Aoi Manaka
Twenty-six years old
How much resentment does it take to put your age on your business card?
Fu Ji Xianli looked at the business card, then at the other party's face, and then he felt cheated...... If you are twenty-six years old, you have to look like twenty-six, why do you look like a female high school student?
But he didn't have time to complain at all, because at this time, Manaka Aoi gave way to a position, so the tombstone behind her was revealed......
Naturally, the name of the deceased will be written on the tombstone:
Gento Soya.
