Chapter 222: Convince the Boss
Ying Gou showed me the strange bottle that I had seen twice before, which made me even more suspicious of the relationship between the Wuyang Sect and the Wuyin Sect, and he even told me an amazing news, this bottle was buried in many places in Jingnan City, and the amount of news I got from Ying Gou was still very large.
When I got home, Hanada also told me that the old man in the nearby town wanted to meet me, and I felt that this was too much of a coincidence, and it just so happened that I talked to the Taoist hat about the old man he met before, which happened to be an opportunity, and I and the Taoist hat just happened to go together to see if this old man was the old man that the Taoist hat had met before.
After a night's rest, I immediately took the bus to the Han Clan's Gym. As soon as I entered the Han Clan's Daoist Hall, I saw the Taoist Hat sitting at the table drinking tea, looking outside, it seemed that he was waiting for the guests to come to the door, but it was still relatively early, and there were not many customers.
As soon as I entered, I immediately excitedly told the Taoist hat about the old man near the town, and the Taoist hat immediately became interested after listening to my story, and he said with an uncertain face: "You mean that the old man you are talking about may be the old man I met before?" ”
I immediately nodded and replied, "yes, do you want us to go and see it together?" The Taoist hat lowered his head and drank tea and thought about it, then shook his head and said: "Impossible, impossible, the two should not be the same person, you still don't think about this, work with peace of mind, there will definitely be many guests coming to the door later." ”
The Taoist hat then told me what he thought, it turned out that when he first met the old man was in the eighties of the last century, according to the time, it was almost twenty years from now, the old man at that time looked white-haired and white-bearded, wrinkled, and very old.
At that time, the old man who met the Taoist hat looked at least seventy years old, even if he was not eighty years old, and even if the old man lived to the present, he was at least ninety years old, but the old man I met in Linzhen looked like he was only sixty or seventy years old, how could it be the same person?
The words of the Taoist hat do make sense, but there is a problem here: there are so many guests coming to the door these days, if I don't put the Taoist hat together, the Taoist hat will definitely not let me go, and now I must let the Taoist hat take my thief ship to go to the old man.
Just when I was thinking about how to make the Taoist hat agree to follow me, the fat man suddenly walked over from the back hall, the Taoist hat put down the tea and said to the fat man: "Eat breakfast, continue to tie paper after eating, and strive to finish it before noon, those customers are urging tightly, you kid has to work hard for me!" ”
The fat man walked to the front of the table with a big grin, grabbed the bun on the table and pressed it into his mouth, chewing the bun while saying vaguely: "Pig Mei is gone." ”
The Taoist hat was drinking tea with a teapot at the time, and when he heard the fat man's words, a sip of tea squirted out, but fortunately I was sitting next to the Taoist hat, and I didn't sit opposite him, otherwise he would have sprayed all over his face.
"Three fat people, what are you talking about, what kind of pig beauty is gone, why does it sound so wrong?" The fat man looked at the Taoist hat and chewed the bun in his mouth and swallowed it, and said, "The bamboo strips are gone, and I can't make a skeleton, so I can't continue to tie them." ”
After listening to the fat man's words, the Taoist hat said with a toothache: "How can I drop the chain at the critical moment, this is about to be delivered, come out like this, it seems that I have to go to the "ghost market" again, and those grandsons are asking for so ruthlessly, I have to bargain again!" You two keep an eye on the store here, don't let me miss out on business! ”
The "ghost market" mentioned by the Taoist hat is a street in Jingnan City that specializes in the funeral industry, and the name of this street is called the funeral market, but we all call this street a ghost market, not only because the shops on this street are for the dead business, but also because this street is close to the crematorium and the place is relatively remote.
Although this place is relatively remote, because it is close to the crematorium, the business is also very popular, and because there are many things in this street, stores like Han's Dojo are generally purchased here.
During the day, there are still more people, but at night it is completely uninhabited, and the whole market is completely empty, so people in Jingnan City who know this street say that this street is "making dead people's money for nothing, and ghosts come and return at night".
In addition, this street is also known for its high prices of goods, and the prices for doing business here are very high, which is also for a reason, except for businessmen such as Taoist hats, most of the people who buy things here are sending their dead relatives to the crematorium.
These customers generally do not bargain when they buy things, after all, where do they have the leisure to bargain when their relatives die, and if they buy things for the funeral of their relatives, it is not a bit disrespectful to the deceased, the deceased is great! In this case, those vendors will naturally ask for a sky-high price, and it is useless for the industrial and commercial bureau to check.
After the Taoist hat finished speaking, he went into the back hall to get the money, and after taking the money, he went straight out, and the fat man and I sat on the sofa and waited for the guests to come to the door. The fat man and I had nothing to do, so we could only chat and wait, and after waiting for a while, the guest came to the door, and the fat man and I hurriedly greeted him.
The fat man and I greeted the guests were obviously worse, but fortunately, I followed the Taoist hat and sang and fooled the customers for a lot of time, although I couldn't reach the point where the Taoist hat could make the customers stunned, but I was also able to greet the customers.
After greeting the customers all morning, the Taoist hat finally came back from outside with a bundle of bamboo strips, with a gloomy face, and it is estimated that this bundle of bamboo strips must have made him put a lot of blood again. After he came in, he directly gave the bundle of bamboo strips to the fat man, and then he angrily talked about the situation of buying bamboo strips.
I guessed right, he went to buy those vendors and really asked for a price, and he didn't recognize regular customers, but what kind of person is the Taoist hat, his three-inch tongue is not a vegetarian, and he immediately cut the price with the vendor, and the vendor dared to ask for the price naturally not afraid of the price, good guy, the Taoist hat was stunned and cut the price with the vendor for more than an hour.
I said no wonder it took a morning to buy this bundle of bamboo strips for Taoist hats, it took so long to bargain, but the result was that the Taoist hat lost, this is not that the Taoist hat bargained and lost, but it actually provoked the trader, if the Taoist hat did not come at his price, it would not be sold.
We are all continuing the business, just waiting for this bundle of bamboo strips, the Taoist hat has also cut the price for more than an hour, and we don't want this time to waste this time, so we can only pay the bill and buy the bundle of bamboo strips with a heart.
The direct consequence of this incident is that the face of the Taoist hat is gloomy all afternoon, except for a smile when the guests come, the fat man has been wearing paper in the back is quite good, so that I am cautious all afternoon, I dare not provoke the Taoist hat casually, if he annoys him, it is probably not as good as me.
An afternoon's torment has finally passed, and nothing special happened, but I have been thinking about how to get the Taoist hat to follow me to meet the old man, and I am also wondering how the old man I have seen is not the old man the Taoist hat said.
After thinking about it for an afternoon, I almost had a plan, and I just had time to implement it until tomorrow. Nothing unusual happened when I went back that day, and the night passed quickly.
The next day, I didn't say much after I came to the Han Taoist Hall, but said to the Taoist hat: "Uncle Han, after I left the store last night, I picked up a white thing at the front street, and an old man in a nearby town passed away, and the family said that I heard that you are very good at doing white things, so I specially came to ask you to do white things." ”
The Taoist hat listened to my words and looked at me with a hesitant expression: "You took it?" Since he has already arrived at the corner of the street, why not come directly to the store, there are still a few steps left after walking so much? What the hell is so bad about you kid, just say it, use this kind of words to bluff me, you are still a little tender! ”
In fact, I also thought that most of the words would not be able to hide the Taoist hat, so I also thought about how to round the words.
As soon as the words of the Taoist hat fell, I immediately answered: "Here's the thing, after I arrived at the street, someone happened to be anxious to ask me for directions, just to ask where the Han Taoist Hall is, I thought that I had already got off work and asked, it turned out that the person was going to do white things, so I gave Ying Xia and asked him to come here to talk to you, but his mobile phone suddenly rang, and he left in a hurry after he finished the phone, but left the address, and asked me to tell you, the money is definitely a lot of yours." ”
After listening to my words, the Taoist Hat began to show a hesitant look on his face, and asked with some uncertainty, "Is what you said true?" Do you know how much business there is in the store recently, if you lie to me, don't think I'll let you go, even if you are Lao Yi's apprentice! ”
I thought about it for a while after listening to the words of the Taoist hat, but I continued with my previous statement, and said that the time to do white things is today. The Taoist hat stared at me for a long time, and I tried my best to make myself look very calm, so that the old fox of the Taoist hat would not see any flaws.
After looking at it for a while, the Taoist hat said, "Okay, I'll believe you once, call the three fat men over, pack up your things and prepare to leave." After the Taoist hat said this, I felt a lot more relieved, and then I went into the back hall and called the fat man out.
When the fat man heard that there was another white matter, he hurriedly packed up his things. Every time there is a white thing, the most prosperous is the fat man, because the white thing has to take care of the meal, so the fat man eats very happily every time, looking at the fat man's Xingtou, my heart began to drum again, I hope my conjecture is right.
Soon the things were packed, and the Taoist hat took me and the fat man to stop a taxi and headed towards the town where the old man was.
