Chapter 45: Second Uncle
"Oh! Someone is dead in your house! ”
The fat man suddenly realized: "Is it your wife who is dead?" ”
Zhang Wen's face twitched, just now he only thought that this fat man didn't know what to do, and he didn't want a beautiful woman to stick it upside down, but now he knew that he didn't have a mouth.
"I'm not married yet." Zhang Wen gritted his teeth and said.
"That's the dead mom and dad?"
Seeing that Zhang Wen's face was wrong, the fat man swallowed his saliva: "Sir, I don't speak well, don't take it to heart, I'll take you to the second uncle." ”
"You're just shutting the door?" Zhang Wen saw that the other party decisively closed the door and locked the shop, and asked, "Don't do business?" ”
"Most of our Bliss business is local."
The fat man explained: "If something happens to someone's house, go to Zhu's house to find someone, and usually sell some gold and silver bridges, ingots and candles, but if you can't find anyone here, you can also go to Zhu's house." ”
Zhang Wen said: "Your job is easy. ”
"Alas, running at both ends, not every day people die, so they have to sell scattered points, some people are too lazy to run, so they don't burn paper on the last tribute, not only do we make less money, but the hands of the underground are also tight."
Zhang Wen nodded: "That's the reason." ”
The fat man looked at Zhang Wen, who was dressed well.
Zhang Wen was wearing a white shirt and a suit from the Ma family, which was incompatible with the entire Zhujia Town.
"Sir, where are you from?"
"I came from Renjia Town, and I heard about the second uncle, so I came over to have a look."
"Oh, I've been to Renjiazhen before." The fat man said, "But when I was a child, I can't remember what it was." ”
"It's not bad." Zhang Wen said: "But the development of Zhujia Town is not bad. ”
It's a bit false, but as a fat man who doesn't usually go far away, it's very useful.
to the Zhu family compound.
The fat man pushed the door in and shouted, "Second uncle! It's time for business! ”
"Second uncle!" Seeing that no one responded, the fat man shouted harder.
Zhang Wen observed the Zhu family compound.
There are paper figures in the back room, some of which are maids, and some are servants, and they are piled up in half a room.
The courtyard is open and stacked with gold and silver bridges.
There was a smell of wax in the house on the side, the door was not closed, and several people were dipping their shirts in wax.
The so-called dipping wax is a very traditional old-fashioned way of making candles, boiling the wax oil, and then inserting the reed rod wrapped in a cotton core into the wax oil bucket, the wax oil sticks to the core, takes it out to dry, and then inserts it into the bucket to dip the wax.
This is repeated to make the candle.
It's easy to say, but from buying mutton butter as a raw material, to boiling oil, dipping in wax, and locking the process.
Zhang Wen looked at the dried candles hanging in the courtyard, and the identification technique was used.
"Candle (Useless)"
"It seems that candles are good and bad." Zhang Wen knows it.
The fat man was still yelling, and finally responded with a vicissitudes of life.
"Here, I'm not dead yet!"
The second uncle of the old Long Zhong came out of the room bent over, his hair was gray and his eyes were cloudy.
He walked staggeringly, as if he was about to fall if a gust of wind blew.
Out of respect, Zhang Wen did not use identification.
"Second uncle, this gentleman is looking for you." The fat man stepped forward to help the second uncle, turned his head and pointed at Zhang Wen, who was standing in the yard, and said.
"Looking for me? Something white? ”
The second uncle spoke much more tactfully.
"Second uncle, junior Zhang Wen, I heard that the second uncle has Maoshan technique, which benefits one party."
"Hey, it's not about benefiting one party, it's just looking at feng shui and doing white business." The second uncle shook his head, but he was very useful to Zhang Wen's words.
Zhang Wen continued: "I want to learn Maoshan technique. ”
The second uncle stood up straight suddenly, stared at Zhang Wen, and relaxed after a moment.
"Don't teach." The second uncle shook his head.
"Please also ask the second uncle to be accommodating." Zhang Wen found that the people working around him came out to watch the excitement.
The fat man on the side was puzzled: "What's so interesting to learn about this thing?" ”
"What is there to learn!" When the second uncle heard the fat man speak, he trembled angrily: "Our Zhu family is counting on this ability to eat!" My dad is your dad's dad's dad's dad, and I still want to pass on all the crafts to you before I die, and you say what is there to learn? ”
"I don't want to learn, second uncle, it's better for you to let Mr. Zhang learn it." The fat man lowered his voice: "He looks quite rich, and he can charge tuition." ”
"You! You're going to me off! ”
The second uncle stared.
When I found that everyone else was not working, I came out to see the excitement and shouted, "Don't you want to eat?" All come out to see the excitement! Get back to work! ”
The crowd dispersed.
When the second uncle entered the house, the fat man immediately beckoned to Zhang Wen and motioned for him to follow up.
"This fat guy is interesting!"
Zhang Wen followed into the door, and heard the second uncle ask, "What's it called?" ”
"Zhang Wen." Zhang Wen replied respectfully.
The second uncle asked again, "How old are you?" ”
"Born in the twenty-first year of Guangxu, I can't remember the date clearly, and the month should be in July." Zhang Wen said that he knew the year, and he still knew it in the work book of the yamen, and when Weiqiang was in office, he was sloppy and wrote down a few things casually.
"Yi Weinian, not young" The second uncle nodded: "Have you ever married a wife?" ”
"Nope."
The second uncle squinted, and after a while he said: "Looking at your face, counting the year, you are the golden life in the sand, you can be rich and noble after marrying a wife, and you will live a long life, but if you enter this industry, yin and yang will be reversed, and there is a risk of success or failure." ”
"Second uncle, what do you mean?" The fat man asked.
The second uncle glared: "It means that if it is not good, it will become good, and it will not be good." ”
The fat man suddenly realized: "Oh, you said that he became rich and rich after marrying a wife, that is, after marrying a wife, he was poor and destitute, and he became a short-lived ghost at the age of 100." ”
"The world is chaotic, demons and monsters come out, what's the use of living a long life? It's not as wonderful as living! Zhang Wen clenched his fists and said, "Please ask the second uncle to teach me the Maoshan technique!" ”
Zhang Wen doesn't believe that he is still a short-lived ghost with a system, and as long as he cultivates and becomes an immortal and jumps out of reincarnation, he is not a fart of fate.
And the short-lived ghost that the second uncle thinks is very likely not the current Zhang Wen, but the Zhang Wen when he didn't cross over, that Zhang Wen has long since died, and it can be regarded as fate.
"Courageous, but unfortunately short-lived." The second uncle shook his head: "Big intestine, send him out." ”
"Oh!"
The fat man walked up to Zhang Wen and said, "The second uncle said that if you don't accept it, you won't accept you, Mr. Zhang, you better go back." ”
"Okay."
Zhang Wen nodded helplessly, and when the two walked out of the door, Zhang Wen grabbed the other party and took ten yuan and stuffed it into the other party's hand: "I want to worship the second uncle, and I also ask the big intestine brothers to help more." ”
"This..."The fat man pinched the money, not knowing what to do.
"It's okay to be a registered disciple, as long as the second uncle can guide me, as for life and death, the big intestine brothers don't have to care, I have taken a look down."
The fat man nodded: "That's it, but I don't guarantee that it will make sense, if the second uncle doesn't agree, this money." ”
Zhang Wen said with a smile: "This money invites the big intestine brothers to drink tea." ”
"Okay, you go to the Yuewei Inn and wait for my news." The fat man turned and trotted back.
"Hopefully it will work out." Zhang Wen left the Zhu family's compound: "No wonder Uncle Nine doesn't want to teach me, fate is really weird." ”
After walking a few steps, Zhang Wen suddenly stopped: "Wait, what's that fat man's name?" ”
"Large intestine...... Zhu large intestine! ”
"People are scary!"
