Mr. Ouyang thought thoughtfully: "Oh, then I want to ask, can you order that kind of offering for the customer, such as I will provide the raw materials?" I said no problem and asked him what kind of ingredients he was made of. Because the offerings have high requirements for raw materials, it is not possible to use anything as raw materials.

"Actually, it's my mother's ......ashes," Mr. Ouyang replied.

This answer startled me: "Your mother's ashes?" "Mr. Ouyang said yes, she just passed away less than three months ago. The ashes were placed in another bedroom at home, and his wife strongly objected, saying that the family always felt gloomy and asked him to get the urn out and store it in the funeral home.

Mr. Ouyang sighed: "When I was a child, my family was very poor, and it was not easy for my parents to raise our two children. I still don't want to accept this reality, every time I see her urn at home, I feel uncomfortable, and from time to time I have to open the lid of the box, look at the few pieces of skull fragments placed on the ashes, and feel that the world is impermanent. A few months ago he was a living man, but now he is a pile of ashes. ”

I didn't know how to talk about it, so I had to listen to Mr. Ouyang tell me about his experience. When many clients communicate with me, they like to tell me their details first. One is to let me know more, and the other is to find an outlet. So at that time, I could often receive text messages and QQ messages, with content of hundreds or even thousands of words, which was more than the number of words in middle school students' essays. Some complain, some are desperate to confide, and some are angry.

This Mr. Ouyang is no exception, he belongs to the cathartic type, and told me why he kept his mother's ashes at home.

He had three brothers and sisters, and his family was desperately poor at that time, so he relied on raising a few chickens and ducks and growing vegetables to earn some money for his three children to go to school. The rice brought by these three people is basically a box of rice with two salted radish strips on it, or a large bottle of chili sauce, which can be eaten for more than two months with rice at noon every day. Although the county towns of Hunan were not very wealthy a few decades ago, the living conditions of each family were still high and low. The Ouyang family is the poorest kind, and they will inevitably be laughed at by their classmates.

People have self-esteem, sometimes Mr. Ouyang will lose his temper before going to school, refuse to bring rice, his mother does not understand, so he asked the reason, Mr. Ouyang said why classmates can bring cooking vegetables and he can only eat spicy sauce and salted radish. Ouyang's mother couldn't explain it, so she had to persuade her to fry the mutton for you to eat during the festival. Mr. Ouyang knew that his mother was perfunctory, so he was so angry that he put his lunch box in the mud pit. The mother didn't say anything, and silently picked up the rice and salted radish. He went into the house and put new food in his bag.

When a child loses his temper, there is always a time to lose his anger, and seeing his mother like this, Mr. Ouyang is not good at playing a donkey anymore, so he goes to school. Years later. When he went to college, he learned from his father that every time he played donkey like this, his mother would make up for his son's share of the food, and then wash the dirty rice from the mud pit and eat it himself.

Of the three siblings, only Mr. Ouyang was admitted to university. The other two siblings also worked in the county, and they became families in a blink of an eye, and Mr. Ouyang worked in a private company in Changsha after graduation, with a good income. also pooled money with his wife to buy a house, which belongs to him with the best conditions. So he took his parents into the house to live together. Although his wife didn't agree very much, Mr. Ouyang insisted that his wife would no longer object when he thought about it and had a child in the future, and his in-laws would be convenient to help take care of it.

Unexpectedly, the good days would not last long, Mr. Ouyang's mother only lived in her son's house for more than a year, and died of stomach cancer, and she was only in her fifties when she died. Mr. Ouyang was so sad that he cried and fainted several times, and after being cremated, he had to put his mother's urn in the bedroom where she lived before her death. Mr. Ouyang's wife couldn't accept it, saying that she usually didn't dare to go to that bedroom to clean up, after all, it was not her own relatives, and she felt very scared. And Mr. Ouyang's father was actually reluctant, saying that he felt very uncomfortable when he slept at night with his wife's urn on the bedside table next to him.

Mr. Ouyang's wife asked her husband to dispose of the urn as soon as possible, but Mr. Ouyang refused to die, saying that he must let his mother and son live together every day. Mr. Ouyang's father also said that he was not used to it. Mr. Ouyang said angrily: "This is your wife, what are you afraid of her ashes?" ”

And Mr. Ouyang's wife felt that her husband should not impose his ideas on his father, after all, living people and ashes are two different things. The two quarreled a lot because of this, and Mr. Ouyang's father was also embarrassed to be caught in the middle, which made Mr. Ouyang very depressed, and he was wondering if there was a solution.

That day, Mr. Ouyang's sister and his family came to the house for dinner, and Ouyang's wife inevitably complained. Mr. Ouyang's sister and his wife went to the bedroom and saw that the urn was placed on the bedside table, but Mr. Ouyang's sister was not afraid, but felt that it was inappropriate. But his brother-in-law was different, saying that he looked panicked, and if it were him, he would not be able to sleep.

Mr. Ouyang's brother-in-law remembered me. He privately told Mr. Ouyang that he had an old classmate who had invited Fortune Guman in the hands of a Chinese brand dealer who had lived in Thailand for a long time, and the brand merchant's surname was Tian, and the things he sold were good, and he also said that the offerings in Thailand were all spiritual, and the raw materials were also related to the deceased, so he could help him contact him.

In this way, Mr. Ouyang got my business card and called me.

"I understand what you mean, you want to use your mother's ashes as raw materials to make offerings, so that your wife won't be too repulsed." I asked.

Mr. Ouyang hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, that's what I mean!" Don't know if it's feasible? I said of course it works. It's just that the form of this offering should be carefully considered, not only to make it easy for your wife to accept, but also to make it easy for your mother and son to communicate and exchange.

"Communication and exchange?" Mr. Ouyang didn't understand.

I said, "Yes, all offerings made from the ashes of the deceased." They are all considered to be spiritual, and the worshipper and the deceased generally communicate with each other, and the deceased can also bless the devotee. ”

Mr. Ouyang was surprised by these words: "You mean, I can still communicate with and with my mother?" OMG! "I thought he knew about it. It turned out that I didn't know. When he learned that it was possible to communicate with his dead mother in his heart, he was so excited that he hurriedly asked me for details.

I told Mr. Ouyang how to communicate between the Buddhist plaque Guman and other offerings and customers. There are dreams, sensory language, abnormal noises and figures in the room, and so on. Mr. Ouyang was not only not afraid, but was very happy: "Great, Boss Tian." If this can be done, I, I will thank you for the rest of my life! ”

It seems that the relationship between Mr. Ouyang and his mother is really good, and not everyone can think like this if they are others. I have met many clients in the past, that is, after the death of a loved one, the spirit does not want to leave, and continues to manifest, which makes the family feel extremely frightened, and finally comes to me to exorcise evil spirits. For many people, no matter how close a loved one is, it is a ghost after death, and they are afraid when they mention it, let alone bump into it.

Hanging up, I was thinking about who I was going to do with this business. It stands to reason that Dengkang has the highest mana, but he almost never blesses the amulet offerings, because it is troublesome, and the guy thinks that only the business profits that solve the decline are enough to taste. Now there are four Master Azan who work with me the most, Dengkang, Baden, Hongban and Nangya, so I basically give priority to these four people whenever I have business, and I really can't ask Fang Gang and Lao Xie to find another master to solve it. So I called Fang Gang and asked him how to get the business done.

Fang Gang thought for a while: "It's no problem to use ashes as raw materials to enter the brand, you can also mix it in the soil to make various legal aspects to worship, as long as the customer agrees, you can also use clay to make cats and dogs, anyway, it's just different in appearance, and the principle is the same." Or blend it into a simulated statue for a more realistic look. ”

"Mock figurines?" I asked, "Is it some kind of god doll or something?" "It reminds me of a fake doll I sold to a single lady in Hangzhou. Fang Gang said yes, you can also make it according to the photos provided by the customer, of course, there is no guarantee that the image will not look like it in the end, after all, it is not a wax figure of Madame Tussauds.
