Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu acted quickly, and after repeatedly confirming with the salesman that they could grind meat, the two paid the money.

Soon the manufacturer sent the meat grinder over.

This meat grinder is naturally not as small as the home version, it is larger than a fan, and the meat stalls in the vegetable market in the previous life would have set up such a meat grinder.

Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu don't know how to operate, Su Nianxing finished reading the instructions and was already eight 19 and ten, she cut the processed fish meat into pieces and put it into the mouth, and after a while, the fish fillet came out, and then poured the fish fillet in, this time the fish shreds could come out, and the particles became smaller and smaller after repeating several times, turning into fish foam.

Aunt Fu looked at her operation in amazement, "This machine is simple and convenient, and it can indeed save a lot of trouble." ”

Uncle Fu was also happy, "As long as this machine is cleaned several times, the fish balls made are more hygienic than a knife stomping." ”

Stomping fish meat on a wooden cutting board is easy to mix with sawdust, and replacing it with plastic is even more incredible. Far less clean and hygienic than a machine.

With this machine, Su Nianxing can easily make 10,000 fish balls a day.

She can spare two hours a day to go to Ah Xiangpo and watch her tell fortunes.

After eating at noon that day, she went to find Ah Xiangpo, there were no guests in front of the stall, and Ah Xiangpo was sitting in front of the stall knitting sweaters. This kind of home-like practice reduces the mystery of the profession. It's no wonder that her business is getting worse and worse.

Su Nianxing sat down and told Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu about buying a meat grinder.

Ah Xiangpo put down the work in her hand and looked at her helplessly and funny, "You stupid girl, if you buy them a meat grinder, aren't you afraid that they will shorten your labor time?" ”

Su Nianxing scratched her head, she had indeed thought about this problem before, but Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu were very good to her, and she really didn't like to do repetitive work, so she was reasonably lazy and won the worries. She saw that Ah Xiangpo was worried about herself and said, "Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu's business is good." They also want to add another fish ball. ”

In fact, it would be nice if Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu really only let her work for five hours, after all, she really couldn't bear it.

Ah Xiangpo breathed a sigh of relief, but it was also a good thing that they bought a meat grinder, and she was immediately happy, "It's a coincidence, tomorrow is a sting, and an event will be held at the bottom of the gooseneck bridge in Causeway Bay according to custom." Can you help me? I'm telling you, I make a lot of money all year round by pointing to this day. ”

Su Nianxing said "ah", custom activities? She won't. She'll just play tricks.

Ah Xiangpo seemed to guess what she was thinking, "It's not difficult. It is to beat the villain and pray for blessings, anyway, it is also a psychological effect, allowing guests to vent their emotions. Are you coming? ”

Su Nianxing has been worried about her livelihood since she came to Xiangjiang, and she hasn't participated in the activities here, she is a little moved, but she still asks, "Will Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu also go over to set up a stall tomorrow?" ”

Ah Xiangpo nodded, "It should be." ”

Su Nianxing really wanted to see what the Xiangjiang rally was like, it must be crowded with people, and it was very lively. She stood up and agreed, "Then I'll go back and make fish balls now, and let Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu prepare more stock." ”

Ah Xiangpo nodded and watched her leave.

After Su Nianxing went back, Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu hadn't gone out to set up a stall yet, and she told her that she wanted to go to the bottom of the Gooseneck Bridge in Causeway Bay tomorrow to help Ah Xiangpo, so she wanted to finish tomorrow's fish balls today.

Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu have a child who is about the same age as Su Nianxing, so he naturally understands that children of this age are full of curiosity about the outside. As long as they don't delay selling things, they are extremely tolerant of her, and when they learned that she had to work overtime today, the two agreed.

After receiving the money handed over by Aunt Fu, Su Nianxing rode a bicycle to buy fish. After coming back, she stayed in the yard to make fish balls, until Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu came back, and she was still a few hundred years away.

In the evening, it was her time to learn Cantonese, and she decided to stop for the night to finish the fish balls and put them in the freezer before going back to bed.

On the day of the sting, Su Nianxing got up early, Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu got up earlier than her every day, usually when they set off, they went to sell fish balls, she went to the vegetable market, and the three of them set off together today.

Their accommodation is a bit far from the gooseneck bridge, almost an hour.

Su Nianxing pushed their trolley all the way to the bottom of the bridge and found a suitable position before she went to find Ah Xiangpo.

Ah Xiangpo came earlier than them, and Su Nianxing went to look for her, and she was arguing with someone. It turns out that her location is a three-way intersection, which is the best "three-evil position", and it is also the most ideal place to fight villains, and the business is the hottest every year.

Ah Xiangpo has come to occupy this position since the stall closed last night, and she has been laying the floor here at night, and she has not returned home at all.

Huang Gu, who was in this place last year, was very unhappy and wanted to snatch the position, but was scolded by A Xiangpo.

Ah Xiangpo asked Su Nianxing if she knew the process of beating the villain, she shook her head honestly, and Ah Xiangpo didn't give up hope, "Then I'll teach you." ”

Ah Xiangpo's stall has changed a lot from usual, in Paterson Street is a table to spread a hexagram cloth, but this time it is placed Guanyin, Guan Gong, Sun Wukong, Wong Tai Sin and other gods, in front of the statue there are candles and fruit offerings for worship.

There is also red paper hanging on it, and the paper is printed with "A Xiangpo beats the villain, ask God to keep it safe", and there is a mantra for beating the villain below, which is still in Cantonese: Hit you on the head of a villain, and when you have the courage to shake your head, you will shake your head every day; Beat you in the face of a villain, and when your whole family catches a cold, you will be cheap for the rest of your life......

It's too long, Su Nianxing can't remember it at all, and Ah Xiangpo doesn't plan to let her remember, "Let's work separately, this part is up to the guests, vent the frustration in your heart, you just do the simple part." ”

The whole villain beating ceremony can be divided into eight parts, namely: worshipping the gods, making an offering, beating the villain, sacrificing the white tiger, dissolving, praying for blessings, entering the treasure, and making cups.

Su Nianxing is responsible for throwing cups, incinerating gold and silver paper, etc., while guests are responsible for patting "villain paper", and Ah Xiangpo distributes "villain paper", "blessing paper" and solicits customers.

When the sky is bright, customers come to the door one after another. After the guests are seated, Ah Xiangpo first lights incense sticks and invites the guests to worship the gods in front of the stall, a process called "worshipping the gods". Then Ah Xiangpo reminded the guests of the precautions, such as not to tell big words or lies to the gods in the process of "beating villains".

Then Ah Xiangpo asked the guests to "proclaim" to the gods, and write or place the villain's name, photo, birthday, clothes and other things that can replace the villain, or place them on the villain's paper.

After wrapping the villain paper and the 100 solution charm on the incense candle, he began to hit the villain. Ah Xiang Po will place a white tissue paper-like figurine paper on the brick and ask the guests to hit it vigorously.

This scene seemed quite strange to Su Nianxing.

"Pound-pound-" echoed at the bottom of the bridge, and could be heard from afar, and the sound was very intimidating.

The guests sat on the mat, took off their shoes and beat the villain hard, some of them had little strength and could only pump a hundred times, and some of them probably hated each other very much, and they sweated all over their bodies and did not stop.

While they were playing, they looked up at the mantra on it, and there was a bit of joy in it.

There was a guest who was tired and couldn't walk, so he asked Su Nianxing to help buy drinks. Of course, she will also be given errand fees.

Su Nianxing thought at first that the guests were all low-level people with little culture, and because their lives were unsatisfactory, they came here to vent. But she soon discovers that she was wrong. Because there are also many high-collar people in suits and leather shoes who come to beat the villain. Their faces were all depressed. But after beating the villain, the whole person was refreshed, as if reincarnated.

It is not so much that they are engaged in superstition, but that they are here to vent the bitterness in their hearts.

Su Nianxing also looks at other shops in his spare time, and there are more than a dozen shops in small places, and the formulas of each family are also different. One even has an English mantra, not to mention that their English translation is very rhyming.

The most beaten villain is "beating the second wife". Heung Kong abolished monogamy and polygonal concubinage in 1971. But as long as men have money, these systems are useless. The law also does not recognize de facto marriages. The eldest wife beats the "second wife", and the "second wife" beats the "little three". Among the "beaten top three", the other two are "bosses" and "colleagues". Heung Kong's workplace is stressful and fast-paced, and friction and resentment between you and your boss and colleagues at work are common.

After beating the villain, Ah Xiangpo will take out the paper printed with the yellow tiger pattern, wrap the white figurin paper after beating, touch the raw pork placed next to it, and perform some gesture rituals.

After the ceremony, it is lit and slowly burned, then two candles are lit, and the Baijie spirit talisman that has just written the name of the guest is taken out, and after circling on the candle flame, it is waved on the guest's head and body.

She wasn't saying a spell, she didn't need to memorize words, she just wanted the guest to know what she was talking about, but she couldn't hear what she was saying.

The noble paper on the outer layer of the Baijie spirit rune, she needs to do it again, and the guest needs to stretch out her palm in the process, she slaps the noble paper in the palm of the guest's hand, and burns it after completing various rituals.

After completing all the rituals, Su Nianxing was responsible for asking the guests to throw the Holy Grail, which is the kind of Holy Grail in the temple, and it only after it appeared that the whole ceremony was completely completed. If you can't throw it away for a long time, Ah Xiangpo will explain that there are too many villains around, and the ordinary "villain" ritual can no longer be driven away, and another ritual needs to be carried out to resolve it, and the price will naturally be higher.

At the end of the day, Ah Xiangpo took hundreds of clients, and even more than 100 appointments. According to Ah Xiangpo, the business was full for the first three days of the sting.

No wonder she said that she lived by the sting all year round. Hitting a villain once is fifty, and a hundred is five thousand.

Of course, some people recognized Ah Xiangpo and wanted to ask her to tell fortunes, but they were all politely refused, and asked them to go to Paterson Street next week to find her.

She didn't go back until late that day, and Ah Xiangpo was afraid that the stall would be robbed, so she wanted to stay here, and she brought a blanket to keep warm. Su Nianxing sent Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu back.

They're doing business well today, too. There are also many food stalls here at the bottom of the bridge, but Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu's fish balls are famous for being delicious and cheap, and 5,000 fish balls are sold in one day today.

And the family's stock is only enough for two days.

She can still come over tomorrow, but she has to stay at home to make fish balls the day after tomorrow, otherwise Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu will not be able to come out of the stall.

Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu said, "You can come tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Ah Xiangpo is busy with these three days all year round. With your help, she can be busy with her business. ”

Su Nianxing was a little moved, but she didn't want to delay their business, "Then you won't have any fish balls to sell the day after tomorrow?" ”

Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu raised their sore arms, "We are running around all year round, and we also want to go out for a day." ”

Su Nianxing patted his head, yes, Xiangjiang is influenced by Western thought, and they don't just know how to make money, they are also eager to enjoy life.

It's settled.

Su Nianxing asked where they wanted to go?

Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu smiled, "I went hiking last year, and I want to eat seafood this year." Go to Sai Kung or Lamma Island. Beautiful scenery and great place to play. ”

Su Nianxing is also fascinated, she liked to play the most in her last life, now? She had to run for life.

When Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu saw her expression, they also laughed, "I'll take you next time." ”

Su Nianxing scratched his head embarrassedly.

The three of them returned to the village house, everything was quiet, the other families had already slept, Uncle Fu stepped forward to open the door, Su Nianxing carefully pushed the trolley into the yard, and before they could clean up and go back to the house, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the courtyard, and the three of them were startled, how could there be anyone so late? The big yellow dog next door was letting out a heart-rending roar, and the three of them turned back and squinted, and saw several tall and mighty men approaching, standing outside the courtyard, looking at them through the fence.

In the faint light, Su Nianxing could vaguely see their faces, all cold and cold Brother Cool was not easy to mess with at first glance, she swallowed nervously.

The man in charge took out his ID from his pocket and showed them, "We are from the Serious Crime Team." May I ask if you are the goddess who helped Lin Weihu tell his fortune before, saying that he would die within three days? ”

Su Nianxing's heart tightened, she had expected Brother Hu's death, but she forgot that after Brother Hu's death, the police would definitely investigate the cause of his death, and she would be the first to suspect him if he would die in three days.
