Chapter 927: Doing Things
When I heard this, I was immediately a little stunned, and said respectfully: "Village Chief, may I ask what you have come to me for something?"
When I asked, he looked at me all over his body, his eyes were full of curiosity, and he seemed to think that a Taoist priest like me was completely different from his impression, but he didn't seem to be able to see whether I had real skills.
"Oh, that's right, the Li family in our village died last night, and the Li family was worried that something would happen, so they hoped that the Taoist chief could go over and take a look and help with the rituals. "The village chief couldn't see my depth, so he had to explain it to me.
As soon as I heard that I was really looking for something to do, I frowned a little, lowered my head and pondered for a while, "It's okay if you want me to do it, but my appearance fee is not low, I don't know if you can do it at least?"
The village chief's face froze a little when he heard this, and then he asked, "How much, Dao Chief, do you say?"
I smiled at the village chief and said to him: "The village chief doesn't have to be so polite, I'm used to being a casual person, you call me Dao Chief to make me a little unaccustomed, it's better to call me Xiao Wang." ”
Then I added: "Since it's a practice, it must be a period of time, we only paid for a week's worth of homestay here, and it's almost there, so you have to be responsible for the accommodation fee in the future, and you also have to prepare the corresponding things, what is specific I will give you a list later, and finally it is my fee, 50,000." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar, and everyone began to discuss.
"The money of other Taoist priests is really easy to make, just get a few 50,000 yuan and get it, I knew that I would also be a Taoist priest. ”
"Come on, if you don't have any real skills, you will be beaten to death sooner or later. ”
"But this money is indeed a lot of money, I envy it to death, 50,000 yuan is enough for me to work for a year. ”
......
Of course, I also listened to the words of these people, I naturally ignored them, in fact, they didn't know, I still looked at them as villagers, they shouldn't have much money, otherwise I would have shouted 100,000.
Seeing that the village chief was hesitating, I said next to me: "If you can't pay such a fee, then everything will not be discussed, and you should not gather here, we will be ready to leave tomorrow." ”
The village chief couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he looked at everyone and asked, "Everyone usually has a good relationship with Lao Li, but now that he is dead, I want to ask you if you want to pay this money?"
At this time, someone said, "Village chief, we can't all contribute this money, doesn't this Li family still have a son?" The Li family has to pay at least 20,000 yuan, and we can all make up the rest." ”
The proposal was unanimously agreed, and after everyone agreed, the village chief turned back to me and said, "Dao...... Master Wang, we have agreed to your fee, but can we give it after the Dharma is over? ”
I'm not a fool, I'm not familiar with life here, who am I going to ask for money when the matter is done? So I said: "Then pay half of the deposit first, if you are afraid that I will run away, you can also find someone to watch us, I have no opinion, but this deposit must be given." ”
The village chief's face couldn't help but twitch when he heard my words, and he wanted to say something, but I had already blocked his back road, and he had nothing to say, so he could only grit his teeth and nodded, saying that he would send the money later.
Seeing this, I was also very satisfied, so I said to the village chief: "Okay, since the village chief can give a deposit, then this matter is settled, before I see the deposit, please ask the village chief to find a few coffin bearers first, this village chief should know, right?"
He looked at me with some disdain, thinking that I was underestimating him, only to see him snort coldly, and said to me: "I have already found this, eight people who often do this, they have already rushed here, and it is estimated that they will arrive in the evening." ”
I didn't get angry at his attitude, so I nodded to show that I knew, and then said to everyone: "That's how it is, let's all disperse first!"
At my request, everyone slowly retreated, and when the village chief was about to leave, I reminded with a smile, "Village chief, I'm waiting for your deposit here!"
He glared at me and quickly left, somewhat irritated.
After he walked out of the yard, I smiled heartily, and then I looked at the others, and found that they were all looking at me with some novelty, which made me a little inexplicable, and I asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
"Cut!" the crowd looked at me with disdain, then said in unison.
Li Meiyan came over and said with a smile: "I now find out that you actually have the potential to be a businessman, and I dare to conclude that if you are a businessman, what kind of horse will you ...... These are completely inadequate, do you know why?"
I was so encouraged that I quickly asked, "Because of what?"
I saw Li Meiyan continue: "Because you are traitorous enough, just now you almost crooked the nose of the village chief, and he can't say anything about you, and you looked so cheap just now, I can't help but want to beat you." ”
Li Ying smiled and nodded, indicating that she also had such an idea.
I had no choice but to ask Long Long for comfort, but she laughed even louder, "Qiming, I didn't say it, you did have a face on the attachment just now, which made people want to go up and slap you on the face with a slipper." ”
"Little brother, you were so cute just now, I found that I liked you more and more. Mengsha was different from the others, she came to comfort me, and I suddenly felt the warmth of love.
The others immediately shouted, "Monsha, you can't deceive him like this, or he'll be very inflated." ”
Just as I was about to say something, a cold wind blew through, and I couldn't help but shiver, thinking that it was almost summer, how could there be such a cold wind, this weather was a little unusual.
The village chief was very trustworthy, and after half an hour, he came over with 25,000 cash, took the newspaper bag, put it directly in front of me, and said to me with a serious face: "This is a deposit, but you should also understand, in case a few of you soak we can't find anyone, so from now on I will send two people to guard the door, you don't mind this, right?"
I shook my head to show that I didn't mind, and said with a smile: "I don't mind, of course I don't mind, as long as I have the money to collect it." ”
The village chief gave me a blank look, and then said to me, "Then Master Wang, you open a list of things that need to be prepared, and I will take them and ask someone to prepare them." ”
Now that the money is in place, everything is easy to say, I took a piece of paper and wrote down the things I needed to buy, and the village chief looked at it and wondered, "Why do you need sanitary napkins?"
Li Meiyan said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry village chief, it's my use up, please ask someone to help me buy it, thank you very much." ”
I saw that the village chief's face suddenly turned black......
