Chapter 14: Fooling People
"Fuck off, you kid! I'm telling you! When you get better, you'll have to help me too! The days when you had nothing to do and ate and waited for death every day are over! I looked at Zhao Qiankun righteously. Zhao Qiankun cried with a sad face: "I'm sick!" I want to rest! And I'm going to sue you for child labor! β
"! What fucking liar you've ever seen considered a regular profession! When I finished speaking, several people in the room burst into laughter. Since then, my small bar has been turned into a fortune teller and I have returned to my old business. During the period when Zhao Qiankun was recuperating from his injury, Yu Dan and I renovated the entire store again, and then arranged some formations.
I also bought some mahogany swords and stuff to hang on the wall. Anyway, the peach wood itself is a thing to ward off evil spirits, so there is no such thing as true or false, it is the difference between being more powerful and smaller. However, such a peachwood sword hanging on the wall still looks quite bluffing.
Zhao Qiankun has been recuperating from his injuries for nearly a month, and he is able to move normally. You know, when I was injured before, I didn't have two months to recover. This kid is worthy of learning martial arts since he was a child, and his body is good. So in July, the Fortune Telling Center opened.
On the day of the opening, Zhang Mu contacted a lot of his former friends, many of whom were some very wealthy big bosses, and Zhang Mu relied on finding some people to live. Many of these big bosses are known to me, because Zhang Mu and I also spent a lot of time in these people's homes at that time. Among them, it also helped people solve a lot of problems.
Of course, these people thought that I was Zhang Mu's junior brother, and now I can be regarded as being able to take charge on my own, so I came out to stand on my own. It's just that many people don't encounter a supernatural event once in their lives, and even if they do, once in a lifetime can be regarded as the top of the sky. So these people just sent a little flower basket or something like that, and they didn't show up in person.
It is said that peers are enemies, but there doesn't seem to be such a thing here with Zhang Mu, Zhang Mu is very relieved to introduce the resources in his hands to me, no way, both of our lives can be handed over to each other's people, let alone a little money?
Zhao Qiankun and I had already discussed it before the opening, because he does look at the faces of some people and the like, so he usually comes out, but this kid is younger than when I first debuted, so it is estimated that it is difficult to fool people.
Actually, that's what I think, if the person who comes to me is the kind of rich person, then I'm sorry, whether you really have something or you have a ghost in your heart, I have to cut it hard! Of course, I'll be sure to help you out. But if it's an ordinary person, I'll ask for less as appropriate.
After the opening of the divination hall, I figured out that there is usually no business in a place like feelings, because no one can encounter supernatural events every day. The most of them are those who ask for Buddha, or those who come to fortune telling with the mentality of trying it out.
In the past, it was because Zhang Mu would not look for me under normal circumstances, and he would only notify me when he encountered a supernatural event and he was sure that there was a ghost, but more often than not, Zhang Mu was dealing with some messy things alone. It's okay to ask for the Buddha, after all, I still know some things about inviting the Buddha, so it's handy to fool around.
But after these fortune tellers saw Zhao Qiankun's appearance, nine out of ten turned around and left, and one sat down with the mentality of trying it out, and then after listening to the price, he also left directly. So up to now, within three days of opening, Lao Tzu has earned a hundred yuan!
Not to mention the rent, I can't even afford to eat now! I finally fucking understand why Zhang Mu wants money for his death, because if you don't catch a rich person and pit him to death, I guess I will starve to death.
So at noon that day, Zhao Qiankun lodged a very formal protest with me: "Senior brother! I'm going to eat HΓ€agen-Dazs! I glanced at Zhao Qiankun: "HΓ€agen-Dazs, eat a fart!" Just drink some cold water and make a living! Zhao Qiankun jumped directly in front of me, and then pointed to my nose and said, "If you open a dessert shop, how can it be like this!" β
Ah! Zhao Qiankun, this kid is powerful now! How to drop! Have you learned to blame me? I also stood up slowly, and then looked at Zhao Qiankun: "Boy, do you think you're amazing!" Zhao Qiankun looked at me and then at Yu Dan, who was watching the excitement, and then said, "I think so!" I'm just amazing! How to drop! β
Depend on! You're a bit hard-nosed! It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know your surname is Zhao, right? But just when my hand was about to catch Zhao Qiankun, Zhao Qiankun jumped back directly and shouted at Yu Dan: "Sister! Senior brother is going to beat me! β
Yu Dan was stunned for a moment, then took two steps forward, hugged his shoulders and looked at me and sneered: "What, you are such a big person bullying a fourteen-year-old child?" "Boss! You're unreasonable! Is he a child? And are you sure I'm bullying him? Yu Dan continued to look at me coldly: "I don't care, anyway, you just can't bully Zhao Qiankun!" β
Get! You two are powerful, I don't have the most status! I didn't even have the idea of talking back, and just looked at the two of them quietly. And now I can feel it, among the three of us, Yu Dan deserves to be the first, and I could still bully Zhao Qiankun before, but since Zhao Qiankun didn't know how to fool Yu Dan, his status has surpassed me, and I have now become the one with the least status among the three.
"Can you tell fortunes here?" A crisp voice came through the door. I looked at it and saw a young girl in her twenties standing at the door, and asked timidly. I rely on business to come to the door! Originally, this kind of thing should be Zhao Qiankun's job, but since we haven't opened for three days, I still decided to do it myself!
So I greeted me directly: "Girl, please come in." Then he led the girl in. The girl came in and sat down on the couch, I made a cup of tea and looked at the girl and said, "Do you want to count anything, girl?" The girl looked at me, who was sitting across from me, and nodded slightly.
"I want to calculate my marriage." After the girl finished speaking, she looked at me with a puzzled look and continued: "Well, it won't be you who will help me do the math, right?" "Gotcha! That's the fucking bad thing about being young! I was thinking about whether I would go out and buy some kind of wig and get a fake beard to get on.
But finally there is a business to come to the door, if I can't get it down, I guess my divination hall will close down directly. So I pretended to be very plain while fiddling with the tea set, and said lightly: "Age is never a problem, just like a girl's age, when she should have believed in horoscopes and divination, but ran to my small fortune-telling parlor, isn't this also a very interesting thing?" β
As I spoke, I gently pushed the brewed tea in front of the girl. "And the matter of marriage is already forced, so it doesn't seem to affect the girl's affairs at the next age."
The girl was stunned by my bluff, and she didn't know what she was going to say, so I took this opportunity to continue: "Looking at the girl's appearance, she should have a sweetheart, but she doesn't know the other party's mind, right?" The girl looked up at me with round eyes: "How do you know?" β
Damn, that's right! I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and then slowly leaned back on the sofa. I said in my heart: I can only come out as soon as you enter the door, a shy girl like you is definitely the kind that likes a person but doesn't dare to speak, for fear that others will reject you and be embarrassed.
So I just said it, and I was really right. Now that the front is all right, then the rest of the matter is simpler. I pretended to ask for the girl's birthday, and then pretended to pinch it in my hand. Then he slowly closed his eyes.
The girl looked at me anxiously and asked, "How is it?" How's my marriage? When I saw the girl like this, I knew that it was almost enough, and it was easy to pretend to be easy, and then I opened my eyes and said slowly: "The golden mountain bamboo shadow is thousands of autumns, and the cloud lock is flying high and the water is artesian." Thousands of miles of Yangtze River floating jade belt, a round of bright moon rolling golden ball. As far as Hubei 3,000 miles. Nearly to the sixteen states in the south of the Yangtze River. The beautiful scenery is not visible for a while, and the sky has a part of the painting. The girl can go and confess with confidence, as for the meaning, it is inconvenient to explain it thoroughly. β
The girl was directly fooled by my words, and then took out three hundred dollars and put it on the table with a thousand thanks, and left the store happily.
"I rely on my brother! How did you fool yourself into success? And how do you know this girl won't come back to you? What if the confession is unsuccessful? I glanced at Zhao Qiankun and then said arrogantly: "Cut, you don't understand this!" This girl is very good-looking, as long as she takes the initiative to chase a boy, how can there be any reason for a boy not to agree!
Besides, I didn't say if it would succeed, and even if it didn't, I wouldn't be to blame! Because as I said, you have to understand the meaning yourself! If you don't understand it, it's not my problem. β
Zhao Qiankun nodded as if he didn't understand: "It seems to be the same!" But brother, the poem in front of you is quite bluffing! How did you come up with it? "I looked at Zhao Qiankun when he was just about to brag. Yu Dan said directly: "This is a poem by Emperor Qianlong, if you read more books, you will know!" β
