Chapter 39: Nanyang Merchant Ships
Bao Yu glanced drunk behind me and motioned for me to get the old man away.
I don't think so.
Those who can do the ancient corpse business should provoke less.
"Oh, the price is negotiated, I'll definitely deliver it to my door."
I thought to myself, this old man is really endless, what the hell does he want to do?
If you really get an ancient corpse and put it at the door as a mascot?
Seeing that I didn't react, Bao Yuzui said directly: "He is a junior apprentice, he doesn't know how to ball, our store is small, the funds are limited, and we can't accept your high-end goods." ”
Uncle Chang looked at Bao Yuzui, his little eyes kept exploring her up and down, and he almost stood on tiptoe to look.
Bao Yudrunk covered his chest and said, "Otherwise, let's leave a contact information, and if a guest asks in the future, I will push you." ”
"No, no, pretty girl, you have good things in this store, don't you put an ancient corpse town feng shui?"
Bao Yudrunk pointed at me and said, "Na, this young man is the mascot, you can't use that thing here." ”
I made a helpless gesture, flattened my hands, and told Uncle Chang with an expression that I didn't count.
Uncle Chang laughed embarrassedly and said: "The deal can't be done, benevolence and righteousness are here, we can be considered to know each other, and if you need it in the future, you can find me at any time." ”
After speaking, Uncle Chang left a business card and left.
It reads Zhang Shenghe's contact number, and his main business is to town houses, ward off evil spirits, and change his life against the sky.
I'm going, it's still a peer, it's interesting.
"Wu Nian, in the future, people like this will be less careful."
I said with an innocent face: "You city people are so playful, even the corpses are collected." ”
"Don't you know what the corpse is used for with the business card of Feng Shui?"
I naturally know that this is a secret art, passed down by Nanyang, but I didn't expect that there are still people doing this now.
The first people who played with ancient corpses were the owners of the boats running in Nanyang, which arose in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.
During the Yongle period, Zheng He made seven trips to the West, which greatly promoted the development of trade and shipbuilding in the southeast region.
At that time, there was a person named Jiang Laoqi on the southeast coast, and he also took a fancy to the fat of shipping.
Jiang Laoqi got a sailboat and gathered more than a dozen sailors to go to sea in the name of fishing, but what he actually did was to buy and sell porcelain.
It is said that once when he went to sea, a sailor suddenly died.
There is a saying that those who run the boat are all taken by the dragon king, and after the person dies, the body will be thrown into the sea for sacrifice.
I don't know if the reason for this is true or not, but it's likely that the default way to dispose of corpses is to run boats.
It's hot in the southeast, and if you put the corpse on the ship, not to mention the rancid smell, there will be an outbreak of plague.
Other sailors persuaded Jiang Laoqi to throw the corpse into the sea, Jiang Laoqi felt that he was also a person, and he had to pay attention to the fallen leaves and return to the roots, and when the person died, the corpse had to be brought back.
So, Jiang Laoqi made a decision, salted the corpse with salt, put it in the cabin, and waited until he returned to hand it over to the bitter master's family.
Although the other sailors were dissatisfied, Jiang Laoqi was the owner of the ship and the person who paid the salary.
After floating on the sea for more than half a month, Jiang Laoqi made a lot of money.
When they returned to the port, they found that many of them were wearing white cloths.
After careful questioning, I learned that there was a typhoon blowing on the sea, and there were not one out of ten fishing boats that came back, and some of the fishing boats parked in the harbor were all broken by the waves, and the sea was full of wooden planks and wooden blocks.
Jiang Laoqi felt strange, he also went to sea, it was all a route, and there was no typhoon.
Those who may have come back alive have said that there were typhoons, shocking waves, and some fishing boats were even broken by the waves.
Jiang Laoqi was suddenly afraid, when he encountered a typhoon at sea, it was Lord Yama who came to do something, and at the same time, he also felt strange, why didn't he encounter a typhoon?
After thinking about it, Jiang Laoqi felt that the corpse blessed him, so he gave all the money he earned from this trip to sea to the family of the deceased, but he secretly left the corpse to press the boat.
It's strange to say, since the corpse was enshrined, Jiang Laoqi has gone to sea extremely smoothly every time, without wind and waves, and there are no pirates.
In just seven or eight years, Jiang Laoqi has become the largest local shipowner, and the family business he earned can not be spent in several lifetimes.
Later, the method of offering corpses spread secretly among fishing boats.
With the development of time, I don't know which master opened his brain, and found that it was equally useful to offer corpses on land.
It is said that some people are full of evil, and the gods and Buddhas do not protect them, so they thought of finding a corpse and offering it to the ghosts and immortals, in order to seek shelter.
Up to now, the industries of some big bosses are not visible, and they worship gods and Buddhas, but gods and Buddhas should not, and can only worship corpses.
I guess Uncle Chang eats this bowl of rice, and what sounds good is to change feng shui, but what he actually does is this deed.
Bao Yuzui took out a folder from his bag and handed it to me, looking proud.
"What's that?" I asked.
Bao Yu was drunk and made a fuss: "Guess? ”
"Property Gift Agreement." I said hurriedly.
"You really can't spit ivory out of your mouth, employment contract."
I smiled and said, "You're quite formal, I'll sign it directly." ”
"It's not yours, I'm on the archaeological team, contractor."
I was so surprised that my eyes widened, Bao Yu's energy was very high, and the archaeological team said that they could enter?
"Don't you congratulate me?" Bao Yu said proudly.
"Congratulations to Shuang Ye, congratulations to Shuang Ye, I will eat official dinner in the future, Gou Fugui, don't forget each other, if you ......"
Bao Yuzui interrupted me and said, "Don't talk about calves, both of us are contract workers, I have three thousand a month, and you have two thousand five." ”
"Why did I get in?"
"I sent a lot of cultural relics into the museum, and people bragged, saying that you found it, there is craftsmanship, good eyesight, and then it really made you blind, I proposed to join the archaeological team, the leaders of the people directly agreed, and said that we don't have to go to work, and you can contact them to buy national treasures in the future."
I have some doubts in my heart, only a few hours in the morning, can Bao Yudrunk do so much?
"Why am I five hundred less than you?"
"Originally, I gave 3,000 books, you hairy boy, you can't spend 3,000 yuan, so I will offer you 2,000 and a half."
"Well, there's a lot of money, bite your hand." I said angrily.
Bao Yuzui was really surprised by the brain circuit, and he took the initiative to reduce the price for himself when he was looking for a job, which was also the first one I met.
As he was talking, a man in his forties walked in, he didn't look at any goods, and walked directly to me and Bao Yudrunk, who was not a tourist at first glance.
"Do you know?"
"It's not an acquaintance."
I greeted him: "This master, what do you want to buy?" ”
The man stumbled when he spoke: "Don't even buy it, you take it, you don't take it." ”
"Then we'll have to see what it is, right?"
After that, I handed him a cigarette and took the opportunity to take a closer look at him.
The complexion is dark, the hands are rough, the clothes are rustic, the leather shoes are patent leather floating, at first glance it is the body that often does farm work, carrying a urea bag in his hand, and speaking with a thick Loess Plateau accent.
