Chapter 34, Dead Man's Money
It wasn't until the guest left for a few minutes that Hu Haofang beside him hurriedly raised his head and turned on the light outside.
At this time, Hu Hao hurriedly looked at me and said: "By the way, I forgot to explain to you a little bit before, after the night shift starts, the lights outside will be turned off, and there will be guests coming, and then after the guests leave, you can quickly turn on the lights." ”
"When you turn on the lights, you can keep your head up and do things."
After speaking, Hu Hao asked me to follow him.
I followed Hu Hao, and he handed me two paper figurines, which were on the order, and he asked me to move them next to the incineration pit.
Because of Hu Hao's storefront, there is a special incineration pit next to it, which is used to burn these things.
Hu Hao in the back moved a car or two, and then asked me to come over to help carry the house.
After getting all the things on the order next to the incineration pit, Hu Hao had a piece of yellow paper in his hand, on which were written the eight characters of the birthday and the name of the person just recorded.
I took a look, and I only saw that this person's birth date was more than 70 years ago, which proved that this person was over 70 years old.
At this time, Hu Hao threw the birthday eight-character light in his hand into the incineration pit, and asked me to help throw these things in, watching the flames rise, and there was even a crackling sound inside.
After seeing that those things were burned, Hu Hao clapped his hands and asked me to go back to the store.
"Uncle Hu, I haven't seen the payment either."
Because I have to work at night, I must ask Hu Hao in time if I don't understand something, just after I asked, Hu Hao pointed to the table.
"What do you see is that?"
Hearing Hu Hao's words, I hurriedly looked at the table, and at this look, my heart was shocked, because I don't know when, there was a pile of money in that place, and this was not ordinary money, but a pile of dark coins printed with the Bank of Heaven and Earth.
Good guys, buy something with Stygians? But if this continues, can Hu Hao's make money?
Perhaps knowing what I was thinking, Hu Hao smiled at me, and then said loudly: "Xiao Liu, I know what you are worried about. ”
After speaking, Hu Hao walked over and took the wad of money, and then walked to the iron bucket outside to burn it.
burned most of the dark coins in his hand, but Hu Hao did not burn them all.
"Okay, don't worry about it now, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
After Hu Hao finished speaking, he turned off the light outside, then returned to the stool, sat up with me, and at about two o'clock, someone came outside again, this time Hu Hao lowered his head and went, but when he walked in front of the person, he raised his head directly.
"Boss, you're doing business, why don't you turn on the lights at night?"
The person who came was a middle-aged man, seeing that he was wearing filial piety clothes, it should be that someone in the family had just passed away, so I thought to myself that Hu Hao's business in this location must not be bad, because there is a funeral home here that is only a few minutes away from Hu Hao.
This man bought more than 8,000 things in one go, and without a counteroffer, he left after buying.
After the guests left, Hu Hao said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I don't have to wait until tomorrow." ”
"Xiao Liu, you pay attention, if we bow our heads and come out and see a shadow on the ground, then we can raise our heads to entertain guests."
"If it's the kind of one that didn't have a shadow before, then do as I told you, you know?"
Now I somewhat understand Hu Hao's night shift, in fact, not all of them are alive at night, and not all of them are not alive.
Living things, there are shadows, and when we see shadows, then we don't have to bow our heads and do things.
It is said that there are gods in the giants, and in the face of these things, we must be in awe and be more careful to entertain.
Presumably, Hu Hao's outside lights should also be a little exquisite, when they are on, those things that are not alive will not come to the door for the time being, and when the lights are turned off, they will come to the door.
In one night, I took two orders, one was the first order, and the second was the one of the living.
It's not complicated, but the link must be remembered, you can't make a mistake, if the link goes wrong, then there will definitely be a problem, as for what went wrong, Hu Hao didn't tell me.
The time of the night passed quickly, and at five o'clock, the night shift officially ended, and then Hu Hao closed the door and asked me to go upstairs to sleep first, and the day shift was open at nine o'clock, because I was on the night shift on my first day, Hu Hao asked me to sleep a little more and simply get used to it.
When I went upstairs and returned to my room, I always felt that everything I had encountered since the events in the village were inexplicable and strange.
Originally, I wanted to find a job, but I found Hu Hao's side, Hu Hao obviously has some special existence here, but I think Hu Hao seems to be a simple ordinary person, but he himself runs such a special store.
Thinking of this, I sat down cross-legged and began to practice the method of breathing, and at nine o'clock, the alarm clock made me open my eyes on time, and I didn't feel very tired when I opened my eyes.
Because after meditating, breathing, and breathing, I feel as if I have rested, and when I enter that state, I feel like I'm asleep, but my consciousness is completely awake.
I hurriedly came down and glanced at Hu Hao.
"Why did Xiao Liu get up so early? Didn't I let you sleep a little longer? ”
Seeing me up, Hu Hao looked at me with some surprise and asked.
I told Hu Hao that I had rested, and since I had already started going to work, I didn't need to do anything special.
"You're a good kid, I like it."
Hu Hao asked me to guard at the door, and he went to the back to tie something, because the house is not very popular, so he will only tie out one for backup, and he just sold one last night, and today Hu Hao wants to tie things out.
It's normal for business to arrive during the day, Hu Hao's business here is good, I sold him three thousand sales during the day, I don't know if his profit is high, anyway, it should be earned.
At lunchtime, Hu Hao asked me how I felt about last night's night shift?
I smiled, looked at Hu Hao and said, I may be a little scared at first, but it is no problem to adapt to two days.
Hearing my words, Hu Hao also showed a smile on his face.
"You kid can, I'm afraid you won't do it today? To tell you the truth, I had recruited two or three before you, two of them in their 20s, and I took them to the night shift for a day, and almost got into trouble with me. ”
Hu Hao didn't elaborate here, Hu Hao told me, but I will work the day shift for two days first, and then I will work a night shift for two days.
"Okay, no problem."
I nodded and replied to Hu Hao.
Halfway through, I went to buy a dictionary and looked up some rare and traditional characters, because I didn't know the characters on the ancient books.
In the evening, I started to meditate according to the breathing method in the ancient books, and sometimes even after a night of meditation, I was refreshed.
And there are even some simple physiognomy techniques on the ancient books, which I am learning, because these things, you learn first, sometimes you may be able to use them.
The two days passed quickly, and on the third day, Hu Hao asked me to rest during the day and come over at 9 o'clock in the evening to take over.
I know I'm going to work the night shift tonight, meditate in my room during the day, and come downstairs while eating.
At nine o'clock in the evening, I came down to take over.
"Uncle Hu, I'll take over."
When I came down, I saw Hu Hao chasing the drama.
"Xiao Liu is here, sit down, I'll accompany you to sleep for a while."
Hu Hao is very good, he sat next to me until eleven o'clock, then got up to leave, before leaving, he deliberately gave me instructions, let me remember the rules.
"Don't worry, Uncle Hu, I'm in a hurry."
I showed a reassuring smile to Hu Hao, Hu Hao went upstairs to sleep, seeing that the time of twelve o'clock was approaching, I took a deep breath, and it was inevitable that I was a little nervous, and then I turned off the lights outside, walked to the chair and sat down with my back to the door.
I played with my fingers in my hand, I don't know if it was because of my wealth, just at 00:30, a voice suddenly came from the door.
"Boss, bring me something."
This is a woman's voice, listening to the voice, it seems to be quite young, but in the voice, there is a kind of coldness that is not close to people.
