Chapter 4: Extinction of the Dead!
The group walked around the city, and soon reached a remote corner of the city.
Compared to the various shops in the bustling bazaar, the location of the Afterlife Hall is obviously much more remote. If the average person doesn't look carefully, they probably won't be able to find this place at all.
Several coffin bearers carried the coffin to the back door, and Hu Tao took Jiang Bai to the front door.
"After all, our Death Hall is in the funeral business, so the location is relatively remote."
Jiang Bai nodded, indicating understanding.
There is no need to go to a lively place, not to mention how much rent is needed for the shop, and secondly, there will be no merchants willing to be neighbors with the Death Hall, and most people are taboo about death.
There's nothing wrong with being remote.
The door of the Hall of Death was hidden, Hu Tao pushed the door directly, jumped into the house, opened his hands and shouted, "I'm back!" ”
The ideal many ceremonial greetings, the scene of shouting and asking for warmth did not appear, and there was only a young man sitting at the table drinking tea in the lobby.
The young man raised his head, his eyebrows raised slightly, and a kind smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "The hall master is done?" ”
The young man was dressed in brown and black embroidered with dark golden stripes, and his long hair was tied up with a strap and hung haphazardly down the back of his head. He has a golden earring hanging from one ear and a jade wrench on his thumb.
The temperament is extraordinary, and it looks like it is either rich or expensive.
Obviously, he just sat there casually, but with a natural aura, people didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of him.
But this temperament is obviously not useful in front of Hu Tao.
Seeing him, Hu Tao was very surprised, walked to the chair opposite him and sat down, supported his head with one hand and tilted his head to look at him, "Hey, Zhongli, you didn't go out to drink tea and listen to the play today?" ”
"I just came back from the play." Zhongli calmly drank the tea in the cup, and his eyes fell on Jiang Bai behind her.
"What is this?" Naturally, he had seen Jiang Bai, just a few days ago.
It's just that at that time, Jiang Bai was still a miserable white corpse lying sideways, but now his face is ruddy and lively. Obviously, something happened that he didn't know.
"This is the corpse we saw that day, but he was alive when we picked up the mountain, and he kicked open the coffin board, which startled the coffin bearers!" Hu Tao's expression is particularly exaggerated, using both hands and feet, describing the scene at that time.
His gaze fell on Jiang Bai's face, and a look of curiosity appeared on Zhongli's face, "Dead, alive again?" ”
Being stared at by Zhongli, Jiang Bai's muscles tensed for a moment, and his subconscious told him that this was a very dangerous character and must not be provoked.
But soon he relaxed, because the other party had no malicious intent.
"It's a miracle."
Although Zhongli was a little curious, he was not very curious, after all, he had seen too many things, and this kind of thing had not been seen before.
"Come on, come on, I'll introduce you to you." Hu Tao pushed Jiang Bai to the front, "Old man, this is Jiang Bai, he will be the person of our Death Hall in the future, he has forgotten a lot of things, old man, you can help take care of it." ”
"Jiang Bai, this is Mr. Zhongli, he is the guest of our Afterlife Hall, he knows everything, if you encounter something you don't know, you will look for him!"
Jiang Bai stretched out his hand very politely, not at all restrained, he showed his brilliant white teeth, and said generously: "Mr. Zhongli, please take care of me in the future." ”
Zhongli stretched out his hand, probed his breath, paused, and said with a shallow smile: "If you don't understand anything, you can come to me." ”
"Alright, you're done! I'll take you to where you live! After speaking, Hu Tao took Jiang Bai to the backyard in a hurry.
Looking at the little hall master's energetic appearance, Zhongli shook his head helplessly.
But looking at Jiang Bai's back, his eyes narrowed slightly, with an indescribable complexity in his eyes.
It doesn't look big from the outside, but when you enter the inside, you realize that it occupies a lot of land.
Some of the doors and windows were open, and some freshly painted coffins were placed, and the smell of tung oil came from them.
There are also ceremonies in the room who are busy, making funeral supplies.
Hu Tao introduced as he walked, "You already know what the Afterlife Hall does, but I still have to introduce you to the specifics." ”
"Since the 77th generation of the hall owner, I have been committed to building the hall into a one-stop funeral industry in Liyue, including coffin customization, shroud customization, sales of wreath paper money and a series of funeral supplies, including cremation, burial, water burial, fire + water storage, fire + burial and all other funeral services......
"I also plan to develop business ...... such as buy one get one free for funerals, regular discounts, buy more and give more away."
Listening to Hu Tao gushing about his future strategy, Jiang Bai was full of interest.
"How do you send a buy one get one free? Fire + water burial, what does fire + burial mean? ”
Hu Tao snapped her fingers and explained her plan to Jiang Bai, "What about you, it was originally a case I was going to do, but it didn't apply to others." I haven't thought about the specifics of buy one get one free, whether to buy a coffin and get a coffin, whether to buy a coffin and get an urn, or to buy a funeral and send a funeral...... I'm going to have to do some calculations......"
"Is it possible to buy a coffin and give a shroud?" Jiang Bai mobilized his little brain and gave advice.
Buy one get one free, and I didn't say what it was.
Is it true to buy a funeral and send a funeral? What a loss!
"You can consider it, maybe you can send a discount card, and next time you come back to get a 7% discount or 80% off....."
"Fire + water burial, what does fire + burial mean?"
For example, if some deceased people want to sprinkle their ashes into the sea, we will cremate them first and then sprinkle the ashes into the sea. Some of the dead want to bury their ashes in the ground, so we bury their ashes in the ground......"
As he spoke, Hu Tao suddenly had an idea: "Maybe we can also carry out the [Leaf Fall to the Roots] business, send the ashes of the deceased back to his homeland, maybe somewhere he wants to go, but this has to be booked in advance, otherwise we won't know if we die......"
The more Hu Tao thought about it, the more he realized that this was a brilliant idea, "There are a lot of adventurers and foreigners in Liyue Harbor, and there will always be people who need this business!" We can sell this business to the adventurer, and deal with his aftermath after his death, this business has a lot to offer! ”
Although telling them this kind of thing will definitely be cold-eyed and even driven away, as long as you really think about it, this is indeed a very good business! How many adventurers have died quietly somewhere, and no one has fulfilled their last wishes, and even their corpses have fallen into the mouths of wild beasts, and they have no peace.
But as long as they report to the Ancestral Hall before they venture, they can go to that place and bring back his bones!
To relatives, friends, or to the wind into the sea, there is a home after all.
Wonderful! What a great idea!
