Chapter 124: Slamming the Door
"You deserve to have no business in this shop!" Qin Mu complained and began to pack his things.
Two hours later, he learned why he had closed early.
There's so much variety in this shop! He didn't collect it for half a day.
And Old Man Qiu is shrewd, he played missing during this time period, and Qin Mu finished the work.
It wasn't until the evening that Qiu Shounian poked his head out, and he also changed his outfit.
The tired Qin Mu suddenly came to his senses when he saw it, it turned out to be the legendary Dao robe, but it seemed to be a simplified version.
Qin Mu has heard of this, that is, Taoist priests have to wear Taoist robes when they go out to do errands, and that is a fairy wind Dao bone.
"Master, you are quite stylish in this outfit, but why is it different from the Taoist robe I imagined."
"The Qiankun coat handed down by the ancestor is too conspicuous, and walking on the street will only attract people's eyes."
Qiu Shounian replied unexpectedly honestly this time.
Qin Mu couldn't help snickering when he heard this, thinking to himself that you might as well wear casual clothes, and would rather simplify than have a style.
Before going out, Qiu Shounian went to the counter again, as if he was sorting out something.
Qin Mu glanced inside, and the other party seemed to be stuffing something into a cloth bag.
When he saw the cloth bag, he subconsciously thought of the Qiankun bag.
But after two more looks, he dispelled the idea.
Qiu Shounian's hand is an ordinary cloth bag, and he can only put as much as he can.
It can't be like Qin Mu's Qiankun bag, like a bottomless pit.
However, this also confirms that Qiu Shounian is a Taoist, after all, the Qiankun bag is almost the exclusive product of the Xiangshi.
Walking out with a cloth bag, Qiu Shounian also found the Qiankun bag that looked like a cloth bag on Qin Mu's body, and couldn't help asking:
"What are you carrying?"
"It's some change of clothes, I just arrived in the capital, and I don't have much luggage, so I just brought all my belongings with me."
Qin Mu's mind turned, and he replied almost without hesitation.
Qiu Shounian looked at him strangely, but didn't say anything.
"Let's go, it's getting dark." He gestured.
"Isn't it time yet? Why go to the funeral home so early? Qin Mu was a little puzzled.
"I told you you had to leave the funeral shop before dark!"
Qiu Shounian's tone was particularly emphasized, as if Qin Mu didn't put this important matter at ease because he had said it several times.
Qin Mu said embarrassedly: "Shopkeeper, I remember." ”
"What's more, the funeral home is in the suburbs, and the journey is two hours, so let's go to Zhang Luo for two meals first."
"That's good, go quickly."
Hearing the meal, Qin Mu's eyes lit up instantly, and he didn't have enough to eat at all.
Thinking that Qiu Shounian had generously invited him to the restaurant, he was extremely excited.
As a result, half an hour later, the two sat in a small noodle restaurant on the side of the road, and Qiu Shounian ordered two bowls of somen noodles when he entered the door.
Qin Mu made a face, if it wasn't for free, he would rather order beef noodles by himself.
"It's a big hit." He muttered.
"What did you say?"
Although Qiu Shounian is old, his ears are extraordinary.
"No ......"
The plain noodles were brought up immediately, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, Qin Mu picked up the bowl and dried it violently, and poured the noodles into his stomach in three minutes.
Qiu Shounian was also extremely efficient, and then put down the bowl.
Looking at the time, it was time to wait for the bus to the suburbs, but he didn't mean to pay the bill.
"Hell, this stinky old man isn't waiting for me to pay, is he?" Qin Mu complained secretly.
On the other hand, Qiu Shounian is looking around, not knowing what he is observing, just like looking for where to find money.
"Shopkeeper Qiu? Let's go? Qin Mu reminded.
"I haven't paid the bill yet."
“……”
Qin Mu was speechless, you still know.
Soon, Qiu Shounian's eyes were on the cash register, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes.
He turned his face and asked, "Have you eaten enough?" ”
Qin Mu smiled bitterly: "Where is this bowl of somen noodles full......
I thought that Qiu Shounian would be merciful and give him another bowl, but he didn't want the other party to turn his head and shouted:
"Boss, pay the bills."
“…… Entertain me, right? Qin Mu scolded in his heart.
This shop is as small as tofu, and the owner is in charge of cooking noodles and collecting money.
When he came out, he still had a rolling pin in his hand, presumably making noodles.
"Have you two eaten? Two bowls of somen noodles for a total of 10 pieces. ”
Qiu Shounian was not shocked when he heard this, and saw that he took money out of his pocket, but he put down his hand again.
"Boss, the biting golden toad at the cash register is very exquisite, but it was specially invited?" He abruptly diverted the subject.
Qin Mu raised his eyebrows, only to find that this black copper-colored toad with a copper coin in his mouth in his mouth, no wonder he felt that something was wrong as soon as he entered the door.
The boss naturally knows the way, like a general shop, it is very common to invite the God of Wealth.
But there are two ways to "please".
One is to buy a god of wealth with a lot of money, go to the temple to burn high incense, and ask the monk to open the light and then welcome back to the shop.
The second is to buy a statue or ornament symbolized by the God of Wealth and bring it back to the store directly, which is also the starting point of the mascot.
Only the first way is to really invite the God of Wealth, but it costs a lot of money.
Therefore, the average small business will choose the second way, and the noodle shop owner naturally thinks the same way.
He said embarrassedly: "Where am I willing to spend a lot of money to invite the God of Wealth to enter the door, this is a roadside stall, worthless." ”
"Then this is a crime, have you been feeling out of breath in your chest lately, and your shoulders are heavy?"
Hearing Qiu Shounian say this, looking at the other party's Taoist priest dress, the boss couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Old Immortal, you miscalculated, my noodle shop has a good business, if you want to open it, find another place."
The boss smiled, only treating Qiu Shounian as a magic stick, wanting to scare himself, but he also thought he was shrewd.
Qin Mu couldn't help snickering when he saw this, but he didn't laugh at Old Man Qiu for being smart, but at the boss's overconfidence.
"Business is good, but your small shop has a total of two small tables, and there are only six bowls of noodles full."
"I look at the water marks on the table, you wiped the table about 12 times today, and there are only 100 bowls of noodles in the sky."
"It seems that customers are coming, but there is a small shop on the side of the street in Beijing, and you have a hundred bowls of noodles a day, which is worth the rent?"
Qiu Shounian analyzed.
"This ......"
The boss was speechless, he didn't dare to imagine that Qiu Shounian had even counted out how many tables he had turned over in his store today.
He has a small shop, and he knows very well that he sells a few bowls of noodles.
Today he did turn over the table 12 times, and it was full of people, 78 bowls of dine-in, and 20 bowls of noodles were taken out.
It is very close to the hundred bowls in Qiu Shounian's mouth.
But what's even more terrifying is that he's been under a lot of pressure lately.
Although there is an endless stream of customers in the store, the small temple can hardly accommodate the big Buddha.
No matter how delicious the noodles are, they can't sit down, and they can't let people eat noodles in the ice and snow.
As far as he was last month, his income and expenditure were barely equal, but he couldn't make any money at all.
After thinking about it, the shopkeeper felt that he had indeed weighed a little more on his shoulders.
He pulled over the stool and sat down and said, "The old immortal family is really wonderful, I hope to mention it!" ”
Finally waiting for the boss to speak, Qiu Shounian pointed to the biting golden toad and said:
"Remove that ornament, and you will naturally feel less stressed."
"Huh? No, this golden toad is the god of wealth, and I'm afraid that business will be worse if I withdraw, right? The boss was puzzled.
