"The Salesperson of the Shroud Shop"

Chapter 2 Rules

Zhao Lianjun looked at the quotation form handed over by Yu Chen, and frowned: "Daxian, can you make this price cheaper?" This funeral costs 10,000 yuan, and the burial is another 10,000 yuan. Our family is an old farmer, and the whole family only earns 10,000 yuan a year by farming and working. ”

Yu Chen smiled: "I'm really sorry uncle, I didn't set this price myself, the shroud shop on the whole street is this price, I also see that your family is rural, and my family is also rural, so I didn't ask you for the shroud money, otherwise the shroud is a single calculation." Besides, the old lady's body is still in the hospital! You can't get a car without a crematorium, and I have counted the money for this car in the burial, and I didn't calculate it with you at all, and the cost alone will cost more than 2,000 yuan! ”

Zhao Lianjun looked at the quotation in his hand again: "Daxian, our family has spent a lot of money to treat the old lady, and now the three of them can make do with 10,000 yuan, can you take a look at 10,000 yuan?" The family really can't scrape together that much money. ”

Yu Chen glared at him: "That's it, uncle, you go to another house to have a look, there are more than 30 shroud shops on this street!" If you think I want more, you can ask about the price of other people's homes. As he spoke, he picked up his tea.

The six members of the Zhao family saw that the price had not been negotiated, Zhao Lianjun got up and sighed: "Can't Daxian really be cheaper?" ”

Yu Chen shrugged: "Uncle, you first go to other people's houses to inquire about the price, if I charge higher than others, you will find another family, if other people's prices are higher than mine, you come back to me, I welcome you." ”

Zhao Lianjun shook his head, sighed and walked out with his family. When they went out on the front foot, Wu Yu asked: "Brother, how did you know what his name was and what the situation was at home just now, and it was fate for your brother-in-law, and see when I and you Sister Xiaoxi can have a child." ”

Yu Chen glanced at Wu Yu: "Brother-in-law, when you and my sister have children is your business, you first untie the knots in my sister's heart." Go home and drink some aphrodisiac soup, and work hard with my sister in the evening, and the child will be there soon. ”

Wu Yu hurriedly took out his cigarette: "Come brother, smoke." You can do the math for your brother-in-law, you don't need to give me a letter, just give me an approximate time period. ”

Yu Chen took the cigarette and said: "Brother-in-law, what years are you, you still believe in fortune telling!" If I knew how to tell fortunes, I would have made a fortune a long time ago, and I would still use such a small shop here to make a living? ”

Wu Yuyi frowned: "Then didn't you calculate the old man quite accurately just now?" ”

Yu Chen smiled and took out a tablet from under the coffee table: "Which is fortune telling!" Look at Sherlock Holmes when you're fine, you can too, it's a simple reasoning, plus the mental hints I learned from the Internet, and then I studied and studied lip language. ”

Wu Yu was a little confused when he heard it: "It's not a fortune teller, then you tell me how you know about that family." ”

Yu Chen pointed to the tablet in his hand: "This is the result of my bribery of the hospital morgue master and the hospital's doctor to identify the dead, and the information of the people and families who register the death in the hospital every day will be sent to me on time at 8 o'clock in the morning." For that, I have to come up with thousands of dollars every month! The first thing I do when I wake up is to simply write down the information of the previous day in my head. ”

Wu Yu looked at the computer: "You mean, you know the situation of their family in advance?" ”

Yu Chen shook his head: "Not completely, about seventy percent of the people who come to my store are from the front hospital." Another 30 percent were introduced by others. I just walked around the old man, and I kept muttering the questions I wanted to ask, but the speed of speech was relatively fast, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it was muttering something that no one could understand, but in fact, the human body has the function of instantaneous memory both eyes and ears. Some of the information that the person himself ignores will also be recorded in the brain by these organs, and repeated indoctrination will make people unconsciously show the answer you want, at this time, as long as you understand his lip language, it is almost enough. ”

Wu Yu nodded dumbfoundedly: "This can know the answer you want?" ”

Yu Chen shook his head: "You have to have a keen observation ability like Sherlock Holmes, and I have the most rudimentary observation and reasoning." I saw that the right pocket of his jacket revealed the test sheet and train ticket issued by the hospital, so at this time I needed some means of stealing chickens and dogs, but fortunately, the current train tickets are real-name, otherwise it would be a little hard to guess the name. ”

Wu Yu slapped his head: "Brother, you are all a liar!" Then you still dare to charge so much money, and the customers who finally fooled over were scared away by you, so aren't you busy for half a day? ”

Yu Chen smiled proudly: "I will come back, there are a total of thirty-five shroud shops on this street, half of them survive by selling shrouds and things used by the dead, and the other half survive by burying the dead at funerals." The prices are all set by Xue Hao, and no one dares to reduce the price casually. The first is that everyone can't make money by reducing the price, and the second is that the thirty-five stores are all interested, take my store as an example, the paper products for the dead, whether it is burning paper or paper people, I don't sell it, if someone wants to buy it, I will send it to someone else's house, and Xiao Song next door specializes in holding funerals for people, and whoever wants to hold a funeral out of a funeral shed or something, they have to find him. Each link has a special one to do, it doesn't matter if the guests have to go to other homes, we take each other's goods, we make money together, and the price may be a little more expensive than the original. The third and most important point is that Xue Hao's kid is a well-known bastard on this street, and no one dares to mess with him. ”

Wu Yu smiled: "It's really interlaced like a mountain!" You are so particular about opening a shroud shop! So what's the matter with those people coming back? ”

Yu Chen said: "My shop is specially responsible for burial on this street, and the price will be higher than mine when they go to which store to ask, even if these people end up spending more money on funerals in other stores, the store will still give me the money for the burial when they are finally buried, this is the rule of the trade." ”

Wu Yu nodded: "You do this, it is true that everyone makes money together, but it is inevitable that some people here want to make more money and sell goods at a lower price behind others' backs, so do you care?" ”

Yu Chen took out Xue Hao's fruit knife again: "Xue Hao has a way, the soft one can't be hard, every family has an account book, and once every three months, the owners of these shops find a restaurant to check and reconcile accounts with each other." Everyone makes money doing this, so generally no one breaks the rules, and last year there was a store that broke the rules. As a result, everyone joined forces to make his business yellow. ”

Wu Yu nodded: "Brother, I have learned it, mutual benefit and win-win results on the premise of not destroying the market, although the approach is a bit of an underworld style, but one is not illegal and the other does not destroy the interests of others, you have a lot of ideas." ”

Yu Chen and Wu Yu were drinking tea and talking, and Zhao Lianjun's family walked in from outside. Yu Chen hurriedly put down the teacup and greeted him with a smile: "How about the old man, I didn't ask you much!" How much do other people's families cost? ”

Zhao Lianjun smiled awkwardly: "Young man, you see that I am so old, can you give it a little cheaper for the sake of my bad old man's age, it is not easy for rural people to earn some money." ”

Yu Chen smiled: "Uncle, don't joke with me, hit me to open a store to this day, it's the first time I've seen someone go to a shroud shop to bargain, I don't think your old man doesn't understand this rule!" Since ancient times, there has been no such reason that funeral shrouds are cheap, if I give you cheaper, I will have to make people laugh to death in the future. I didn't even calculate the money for the shroud with you, I calculated the funeral fee for you, if you bargain with me again, I really can't hold this funeral for your family, and the jokes of my peers can shame me. ”

The old man Zhao Lianjun blushed and nodded: "I also know that there is no bargaining in the shroud shop, and the family really can't make up so much money." Can you give you a few days, we will pay a deposit of 10,000 yuan first, and the rest will be borrowed from a relative after the funeral. ”

Yu Chen sighed: "Hey.. It's not easy for you, but it's not easy for me, why don't you do it! I'll have to pay for your funeral first, and I'll have to advance money for you to hire a car for the crematorium, but let's make it clear, the notes have to be written, and the money will have to be given to me as soon as the funeral is over. ”

Zhao Lianjun nodded hurriedly: "Daxian, you are really a good person!" You can rest assured, as long as my old mother is buried, my family will definitely collect the money for you. As he spoke, he tore open a cloth pocket with several layers sewn from the inside of his clothes, and took out 10,000 yuan from it.

Wu Yu felt a little uncomfortable, and whispered in Yu Chen's ear: "Brother, this family is not a rich person at first glance, it is almost enough, it is not easy for anyone to be ordinary people." ”

Yu Chen shook his head and whispered: "Brother-in-law, I have said many times, things can't just look at the surface, wait until you see their house and ancestral tomb before drawing conclusions." ”

Wu Yu looked at Yu Chen strangely, looking at his mysterious appearance, he obviously guessed the other circumstances of the family, and Wu Yu still admired Yu Chen's ability before, so he didn't say anything.

At the request of Yu Chen, Wu Yu, the most educated person, wrote the letter, during which Yu Chen also invited Xiao Song, the owner of the store next door, to be a witness from the store next door.

This little Song Yuanyuan's head and face are full of energy, giving people a very shrewd feeling, and he speaks with an authentic Northeast flavor, which makes Wu Yu's first impression of this Xiao Song not bad, but I feel that this kid is a bit like Xue Hao. Whether it is dressing or talking and walking, he always feels very similar to Xue Hao.

Yu Chen saw Wu Yu staring at Xiao Song, and whispered in Wu Yu's ear with a smile: "His store was opened by him and his father, and his father opened it for decades before, and he has only taken over for less than 2 years. ”

Wu Yu looked at Xiao Song in front of him in surprise, fortunately, Wu Yu, who was highly cultivated, couldn't help but laugh out loud, the shrewd part of Xiao Song's original impression was directly gone, and he thought that Xue Hao bought the old clothes he wore to this kid, and this kid's posture was still a treasure.
