Chinese Almanac Master

There are two labor contracts in front of Xiao Nanzhu, A4 paper, black and white characters, Party A has a string of 360 five red thumbprints in total, and Party B's column is still empty.

Ever since the twenty-four shivered and climbed out of the refrigerator just now, his expression has been maintained in an indescribably distorted expression, perhaps because he really didn't know how to express his position on this series of sudden supernatural events. With a frown of his eyebrows, he immediately picked up the unsuspecting Twenty Four. Poor Twenty Four was just a frail scholar. Xiao Nanzhu yelled at him on his shoulder and took him to the wall, but he was powerless to resist. He sneered After re-hanging the old almanac on the wall, Xiao Nanzhu didn't care about Ersi's repeated protests, and directly forced his whole body back on the almanac.

"Ahhh!! You are crazy!! My head!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Nian Si's screams sounded quite embarrassing, Xiao Nanzhu was a little annoyed when he saw that this man couldn't get back, and Nian Si was afraid of this simple and rude barbarian after being tossed about by him like this. Taking advantage of his pause, he quickly handed over the labor contract hidden in his sleeve.After suppressing his anger, he took it over and took a look. Xiao Nanzhu was speechless immediately. The eight-page labor contract was densely packed with many clauses, ranging from salary and benefits to specific job content, and the central idea was about how to become an employee. The relevant path of a Huangli teacher.

According to legend, Huang Lishi refers to those alchemists who can change the changes of solar terms and festivals in the four seasons and predict the good and bad of the day.After modern times, due to the increase of various international festivals and anniversaries, the ranks of the original old almanac have been continuously injected with fresh blood.

As a partner of the calendar gods of the old Huangli calendar, the interest relationship between Huang Lishi and the calendar gods is maintained by this contract, so it is inevitable that more details will be added.

For example, the respective functions of the traditional festivals and the reasons behind them, the seasonal changes and four seasons that the solar terms are responsible for, and the specific shift arrangements brought by the calendar gods once sick leave, maternity leave, and marriage leave are all well written.

Because it is now 2027 in the Gregorian calendar. Compared with the lunar and solar calendars in the past, there are clear divisions and rules. The current calendar is actually a generalization of traditional festivals and Gregorian calendar festivals, although this is actually a result of the loss of traditional culture to a certain extent. performance, but because of the deviation of the solar calendar algorithm, this is unavoidable, so for today's Huangli teacher, he needs to be responsible for all the calendar gods, including new calendar festivals and various traditional festival solar terms, and the most important What's more, Xiao Nanzhu saw the name of his grandma Xiao Ruhua in the list of previous Huangli masters mentioned at the bottom of this contract.

Xiao Nanzhu's grandmother signed such a labor contract when she was alive, and she kept it hidden from everyone for decades, even his own grandson knew nothing about it.In my impression, his grandma has never missed a day for others, but all the weddings and funerals she ordered can always be completed smoothly, and one time, she was able to accurately see that a woman living in their house Women near the alley will give birth to quintuplets.You have to know that when you first got pregnant, the hospital couldn't detect this kind of thing. It doesn't make sense that an old lady who doesn't understand medicine can see it at a glance.Xiao Nanzhu, who didn't know the situation before, only thought of her as a blind cat and a dead mouse, but now that she thinks about it, she only thinks that her old lady doesn't like square dancing, and she can catch up with her at a long age. The old woman who beat him two streets really lived up to her reputation, no wonder she got the nickname Goddess Xiao, and if it wasn't for the fact that Nian Si, who told him all this, had just crawled out of the refrigerator in embarrassment and looked very unreliable, Xiao Nan Zhu almost started to think seriously about the feasibility of this job.

First of all, he is indeed short of a serious job at the moment. If he analyzes the current situation, he would rather do this strange-sounding job than selling insurance with Situ Zhang's buddies.Although this job is unreliable when you talk about it carefully, it sounds like there is no scientific basis for expelling evil spirits, praying for gods, interpreting dreams and translating luck...

Today's young people are different from those in the past. The older generation's traditional thinking is why they always hold a sense of awe towards the gods and ghosts. It is completely different in the backward era when diseases need to be treated by praying for the blessing of the gods. People disdain to use those ignorant methods to make fun of their own lives. Therefore, many traditional industries that cannot be proved by modern science have become completely feudal. Dross.

Fortune-telling, astrology, and other gold-collar industries that used to disrupt the world have also become popular. Now that I think about it, this kind of statement is inevitably one-sided and extreme. Well, let’s talk about the unanimous veto, but this change in thinking did not make him immediately accept the olive branch that the old Huangli people wanted to throw at him, because Xiao Nanzhu quickly noticed... the profession of Huangli teacher It turns out that 360 has to go to work for five days, and there is no rest time for one day!without!have!

"Hey, there must be some rest time. Our work is not very intensive, and we are free most of the time... Besides, this contract actually starts next year. Speaking of which, everyone is on vacation these days. Wait for the new year to start working again. What you saw last night was Xiaonian, one of the 22 traditional festivals. Get familiar with the workflow..."

Twenty-four spoke so often, and he still didn't forget to take out a comb to tidy up his hair. Xiao Nanzhuguang didn't express his opinion, and his arrogant posture made people want to beat him up.At this moment, he was squinting his eyes and leaning on the back of the sofa looking at the contract, and he didn't show any joy or anger when he was smoking a cigarette with his legs crossed.His resolute jaw line gives people a very cold feeling, so people who are not familiar with him will inevitably find him difficult to get along with, and the facts have also proved that Xiao Nanzhu's personality may be better than his appearance It's not easy to get along with.

Twenty-four sat with him and didn't know how to start the conversation. After all, he knew Xiao Nanzhu's temper, and he couldn't do anything about this wild horse that couldn't be restrained since he was a child. If Xiao Nanzhu didn't want to do this job , then their work progress had to continue to be delayed, and when Xiao Nanzhu noticed from the corner of his eyes that Twenty-Four, who was sitting on the opposite sofa, was secretly watching his expression, he pinched the cigarette on his finger, and then Slowly said in twenty-four openings,

"I'm sorry, just now, that...what do you call it?"

Playing with the folding fan, Twenty Four One, who was dressed in a blue robe, paused when he heard Xiao Nanzhu talking to him, covering his lips and coughing in embarrassment, he cupped his hands and bowed, and then said in a regular manner,

"At the next twenty-four, I panicked when I came out of the refrigerator just now, and my behavior was rude..."

The ups and downs of the voice are almost singing, but the [-]-year-old is white and clean, so pedantic is not annoying.Xiao Nanzhu nodded, and couldn't help but look up at the old almanac that was hung back on the wall. At this moment, the almanac happened to be the twenty-fourth day, which was almost the same as usual, except that it should have The person in the painting who was staying still had already run in front of him.

Xiao Nanzhu felt a little ridiculous for no reason, after all, before returning to his hometown, he never thought that he would go all the way to this inexplicable road.In this situation, he doesn't seem to have any other better choices, but why does Huang Lishi's name sound a bit outrageous...

Silently disgusted in his heart for a while, Xiao Nanzhu didn't show his face, and continued to repeat the twenty-four words in front of him.And Twenty Four obviously didn't have much heart, and as soon as Xiao Nanzhu hooked him up with a few words, he said everything out.

"Well... Lishen usually stays in the outside world when he is at work. It takes a day and night cycle. After working for a day, we will return to the almanac to rest for a year... What we mainly do is to get rid of those wandering in the world. Disasters and evil spirits in the world bring blessings to the world, because people gradually don't believe in this kind of thing in recent years...so the range of clients of Master Huang Li is getting smaller and smaller, and the expected date of delivery is based on the date of marriage To support ourselves, of course we can come out when we don’t go to work, it depends on whether you like it or not... Your grandma used to find them to play mahjong with her during the Lantern Festival every year if she couldn’t find a mahjong partner, but I don't think you can remember...you were young back then, only four or five years old..."

Twenty-four seemed to be a little excited when talking about the past, Xiao Nanzhu listened silently and found it somewhat interesting.In fact, he has already moved his heart, but he still wants to know more about this profession before giving him an answer, so he didn't interrupt him again, but after that, he decisively pressed Situ Zhang to call him again and again. Come find him on the phone for a drink.

You can almost imagine how Situ Zhang on the other end would jump, Xiao Nanzhu thought for a while with the corners of his mouth curled up, and as soon as he turned off the phone, he simply listened to what Niansi said to him one by one.After all, this is related to his future career choice, so he also wants to make some mental preparations in advance, please tell him about the workflow.Speaking of this, I have to praise that I am a good scholar, and I can talk about everything clearly and logically with a flick of my mouth.Twenty-four weekdays are nothing more than trivial gossip about other calendar gods. It is not a serious thing to talk to him. On the contrary, Xiao Nanzhu, who was serious at first, didn't feel attracted by the gossip later. Living.

"Let me tell you secretly, you must not tell it. In fact, the Qixi Festival has a particularly bad relationship with the No. 14 in February. You know the reason? Hey, it's not a name collision... ...So when Valentine's Day comes out in two days, you must not mention Qixi Festival to him, otherwise he will definitely go crazy..."

Twenty-four's advice made Xiao Nanzhu laugh. Just a little while ago, Twenty-four had already introduced the calendar gods of Twenty-five, Valentine's Day and the next few days one by one, but when it came to the thirty-night New Year's Eve On that day, Twenty Four suddenly skipped over.

"What happened to him on New Year's Eve? Is it special?"

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Xiao Nanzhu also became interested, Nian Si made a shush gesture as soon as he heard it, then sneaked up to Xiao Nanzhu's ear and whispered,

"New Year's Eve is different from us. I still don't tell you. Well, you'll understand when the time comes. Enen..."

Seeing his nagging, Xiao Nanzhu didn't bother to ask any more, anyway, he would see him again in a few days, no matter how hard it was to get along, it would only be a day.Up to this point, Xiao Nanzhu has basically agreed to work in the honorable position of Huang Lishi for a period of time. Anyway, Ersi also said that he can resign at any time if he wants to, but he has to help them find a new boss before leaving. , because Master Huang’s income is to give them a certain share, so how does Master Huang’s quality of life directly affect their quality of life, and the days a few days ago are his probationary period, and everything will wait until later Besides.

After such a long talk, it got dark before you knew it. Xiao Nanzhu didn't seem to plan to stay with Nian Si for dinner, and Nian Si also consciously said that I should go back to my home to do it. Your grandma used to say no. Pack meals.

Before leaving, he tidied up the signed contract by Xiao Nanzhu, but just as he was about to leave, Xiao Nanzhu suddenly stopped Er Si as if he remembered something, and then brought out a bastard from the kitchen Just handed it to him.

"This……"

Holding this big bastard, Twenty Four looked a little dumbfounded. Seeing this, Xiao Nanzhu squinted his eyes and smiled, then pointed to the old Huang Lidao on the wall,

"Help me bring it to Xiaonian, just say that I will compensate him, and tell him not to cry, don't bastards live much longer than carp, don't you think so?"

Twenty Four: "..."
