Chapter 108: Calculations

"Okay, nephew, you have time to go to my place to drink," Uncle He said this and rode an electric car towards Hutong 88.

"Master, I've bought the food," I said, putting the food on Master's table.

"Usually I buy a meal and come back in half an hour, but today you spent an hour, what are you going to do?" Master pointed to the wall clock on the wall and asked.

"Ang, when I was shopping for food, I met an acquaintance, so I chatted a few words, "I explained to the master, I am not lying, Uncle He was originally my acquaintance.

"Let's eat!" Master opened the lunch box and the vegetable box and beckoned me to eat.

"Master, eat it yourself, I don't have an appetite," I said to Master helplessly as I sat on the sofa.

"I'm still feeling sorry for your fifteen hundred yuan," Master saw at a glance what I was thinking.

"Well, I worked hard for more than a week in your part-time job, trying to earn some money to supplement my living expenses, but I didn't expect it to be gone all of a sudden," I said to Master with a depressed face.

"There is a good saying, there is no free lunch in this world, if you want to get what you want, then you must first pay, this is an eternal law, I advise you not to think about it, the more you think about it, the more you will get angry, come on, let's drink a bottle of beer today" After the master said this to me, he opened a bottle of beer for me and handed it to me.

"Then I don't want to eat," I said this, I stood up and walked to the master, took a big sip of the beer in the master's hand, and then ate with the master, the master was right, the more I thought about it, the more I got angry, I really might as well not want to, anyway, things have already happened.

"Master, there's something very strange I want to ask you," I asked Master as I touched my bulging belly after I had eaten and drunk.

"Ask me something," Master said to me as he picked at his teeth with a toothpick.

"Today I went to your bed to wash your robe, when my hand touched your robe, there was a warm current on the robe that wrapped me, and then I fell asleep unconsciously, Master, what do you say is going on?" I asked Master with a puzzled face.

"That robe is a treasure handed down by your ancestors, its name is Shuanglong Talisman Bagua Robe, this robe is blessed with Maoshan Taoism, wearing that robe will bless your own Taoist true qi, if you wear my robe now, it is estimated that you will easily draw the intermediate charm" Master said to me with a cow's face.

"Master, then can you lend me that Dao robe to wear, and I'll draw an intermediate talisman and try it," I said to Master with great interest.

"That's not good, if you want to draw an intermediate spell, you have to rely on your own efforts, I won't tell you, I'm going to go up for a nap" After the master said this, he walked upstairs.

"By the way, my robe can't be washed in a washing machine, it has to be washed by hand, and you can't add laundry, laundry detergent or anything like that, just wash it with tap water," Master stopped a few steps up the stairs and turned back to me.

"I see, Master," I replied with a nod.

"Then why are you still standing stupidly! After washing the robe, go and show me the Tao Te Ching," the master glared at me and said to me angrily.

"Yes" So I stood up and walked upstairs with Master, I put a basin of water and put Master's robe in, when I rubbed Master's robe with my hand, the basin of water containing Master's robe changed from cold water to warm water, and I put my hand in the basin will have a very comfortable feeling.

I rubbed it a few times, and the clear water in the basin instantly turned into muddy water, and when I took the robe out of the basin, the robe was not wet, but dry, and there was no moisture on it.

"It's amazing," I said in surprise as I looked at the robe in my hand, and when I put the robe in the water again and brought it out again, the robe in my hand was still dry. This robe is really a treasure, no wonder Master wears it every time he goes out to run errands.

I folded Master's robe and put it at the head of Master's bed, and Master was sleeping with a loud snoring at this time, and I couldn't help but want to sleep when I saw him sleeping so soundly.

I walked down from the upper floor and sat on the sofa in a hall looking at Master's "Tao Te Ching", now the most important thing is to improve my Taoist true qi first, only in this way can I draw the intermediate runes, I thought to myself that Master is really stingy, and he refuses to borrow his Taoist robe to wear it.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the master stretched his waist and walked downstairs, "This sleep is really comfortable," the master said lazily.

"Liu Shou will go out with me," Master said to me, as he walked up to me.

"Master, where are we going" I looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was still ten minutes before half past three, and if I went out with him at this time, I didn't know what time I would be able to get off work, I reluctantly said to Master.

"You just come with me, where is there so much nonsense" After the master said this, he walked out, I put down the Tao Te Ching in my hand and got up from the sofa and followed the master out, I don't know what this old guy wants to do.

Master took me and walked into the paper shop at the entrance of Hutong No. 88.

"Daoist Jiang, you are here," the owner of the paper shop enthusiastically walked up to the master and greeted him.

"Sixth son, prepare a thousand yuan of paper money for me, and ten beautiful virgins, I will give them to Master Xie," the master said to the owner of the paper shop.

"No problem, leave it to me," the dwarf boss of the paper shop patted his chest and said to Master.

"This thing is for Master Xie, you must not fool me, once Master Xie is not satisfied, I will say that you fooled him, you can do it yourself" When the master finished saying this, the dwarf boss was frightened into a cold sweat on the spot, and his face became pale.

"Jiang Daochang, don't worry, I will never fool Master Xie with defective products, I am a timid person" The paper boss swallowed a mouthful of foam and said to the master.

"This is fifteen hundred yuan, you can take it," the master took out fifteen hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them to the owner of the paper shop.

"You want 1,000 yuan for paper money, Jiang Daochang, I will give you 6 bundles of 100 yuan, and the price for others is 100 yuan and 5 bundles, virgins usually sell sixty-one, Jiang Daochang and we are acquaintances, I will give you 40 yuan, and I will charge you 1,400 yuan" The owner of the paper shop took the money in Master's hand and counted 1,400 yuan and put it in his pocket, and he handed the remaining 100 yuan to Master.

"For the remaining 100 yuan, you can bring me another six bundles of paper money" The master did not accept the 100 yuan, but asked the owner of the paper shop to buy all the paper money.

"Okay Jiang Daochang" The owner of the paper shop put the remaining 100 yuan into his pocket.

"You can prepare the things for me, and I'll let the apprentice come and get them at seven o'clock in the evening," the master instructed the owner of the paper shop.

"Okay, you can just come and get it at seven o'clock in the evening," the owner of the paper shop said to Master with a smile.

"Then let's go first," said Master, and after saying this, he led me to the hall again.

"Master, thank you" I said to Master with a touched face, my master is really good, it is estimated that he thought my family's conditions were not good, so he helped me pay this money.

"Don't be grateful to me first, today is October 5th, you have worked with me for six days, you come to me to work here for two days is exactly eight days, the first day's salary is one hundred, the remaining seven days of salary is one hundred and fifteen, adding up to one thousand one hundred and five, yesterday morning half an hour late deduction of fifty, if you are not late for these two days, the salary you should get is 1,100 yuan, you should return 400 yuan to me now" Master Tsai carefully read to me, listening to Master's words, I instantly felt that there was no love between us at all, Originally, I thought that my master was generous, but I didn't expect him to be so calculating.

"I see," I said, and took out four hundred yuan from my pocket and handed it to Master, who accepted it unceremoniously.

"The two of us are relatives, wealth is wealth, we must understand, remember what I said, there is no free lunch for you to eat in this world, only pay for it" After the master said this, he pushed open the door of the hall and walked in.
