The daily life of the fortune teller who was forced to open business

Nan Shi immediately leaned back tactically, pushed the phone to Qingying to call her, and laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe: "It's okay... If he saw me a month earlier, he would find that I am not human either. .”

Qingying also smiled: "It's also kind of a slave to look at each other."

"Hmm, then do you think I should pretend not to believe me or tell him directly?" Nan Shi touched the phone and began to type, and sent directly according to the logic of normal people: [? 】

"Follow what the young master wants." Seeing that Nan Shi had almost finished eating, Qingying got up and opened the door, called the waiter and ordered another order as it was, saying that she wanted to take it away, but Nan Shi received a reply from the other party very quickly: [Beside you The woman is very dangerous, she should be a ghost, you may not believe it, but you must remember my words, don't have any contact with the other party, otherwise your life will be in danger. 】

The other party spoke sincerely and with good intentions, Nan Shi stopped pretending to be stupid, and replied seriously: 【Thank you, I will pay attention. 】

The other party replied immediately: [I'm not joking. 】

Nan Shi didn't have the habit of telling people about his family background, so he put away his phone with a slight smile, played with the business card just now, looked at the words 'Li Wenbai' on it: "He is really a kind person...and a colleague. "

Qingying was talking to the waiter, deciding whether she wanted garlic or egg yolk, she turned her head and smiled when she heard this: "There are always more kind-hearted people in this world."

She was about to close the door of the box, but saw a group of people coming from the next door, the leader was Li Wenbai who had just been here, Qing Ying smiled politely at the other party when she saw this, and closed the door.

She was originally being polite, but in Li Wenbo's eyes she was a hungry ghost grinning, as if warning him not to meddle in his own business.

Li Wenbai pushed his glasses, and said to his companions: "You guys go first, I still have something to do."

"Huh?" The one who came with him was his cousin, and the child naturally belongs to her family. She is young and beautiful, obviously a lot younger than Li Wenbai: "Brother? Didn't you drive? You don't need me to take you back gone?"

"No need." Li Wenbo suddenly remembered something, took out a jade gourd from his pocket, and hung it around the child's neck: "Xiaoyu was a little frightened today, and I think he might have a fever tonight, just watch it."

His cousin was a little baffled, but she also knew that her brother had some weird abilities, so she felt her scalp tingle immediately: "Then what... What frightened you? It's not... that thing?"

"No, don't think about it." Li Wenbai comforted him with a good temper: "But Xiaoyu is young, you should pay attention in the future, don't take him to the grave or anything, call me if you have any questions... You go back first."

"Okay." His cousin replied, and hurried away with the child.

Li Wenbo didn't just stand at the door of Nanshi's box, but walked slowly to the entrance of the parking lot outside the hotel and waited. Just now when he entered, he saw a car key that Nanshi threw on the table. He thought he was driving here.

There are too many people in the hotel, so wait in the parking lot.

Sure enough, after waiting for a long time, Nan Shi and that ghost from just now came out talking and laughing one after another. Li Wenbo stood in the shadow of the security booth, looking at each other with some surprise.

He originally thought that Nan Shi and that ghost were in a relationship, but it didn't look like this - if they were a couple, there's no reason to ask a girl to take a look at the heavy takeaway box.

Nan Shi hasn't noticed that someone is squatting at him. After all, there are many people coming and going here, so there is no need for him to pay attention to them one by one: "...the king crab seems to be a bit too much, will Daddy Tiandao not be able to finish it all?" How about I share a part of it for my senior brother to taste? My senior brother hasn’t tasted it yet, maybe he will like it.”

Qingying thought for a while and said: "The owner of the mountain doesn't like to eat these..."

"Ham, don't I understand?" Nan Shi said happily, "I think my brother doesn't like to eat crabs, but he dislikes crabs with less meat and more shells, so I got him a pair of tongs to eat when he turned around, and he took a bite out of that and it was full of mouthfuls." It's all meat, maybe he likes it... I remember that when the crabs came up in November, he didn't like the crab roe spring rolls that the chef made for him? He ate three or four of them!"

Nan Shi said it casually, but Qingying couldn't answer directly: "Since that's the case, the young master can also try."

Nan Shi was about to tease his senior brother about his integrity, so he bumped into Li Wenbai head-on: "Hey? It's you? Mr. Li."

Li Wenbai probably understood what was going on when he heard this. Li Wenbai originally wanted to save Nan Shi's life, but now he doesn't need to think about it.This ghost called 'Young Master', obviously it was a relationship between the upper and lower, and Nanshi was talking about a senior brother, obviously he had a teacher, but he didn't know which family's disciple was able to drive such a ghost.

"Hello, coincidence." Li Wenbo nodded with a smile: "It seems that I have a predestined relationship with Mr. Nan."

Nan Shi said straight away: "Mr. Li is waiting for me here, I appreciate his good intentions."

"...It's a joke." Li Wenbo said.

"How can it be." Nan Shi took two steps forward, "It's my fault. I got used to it for a while. I didn't expect to surprise your nephew. Mr. Li was willing to mention a few words to me regardless of the past. I'm here. I will apologize to you first."

This Mr. Li's face is very obvious, he has no children, but has sisters.Nan Shi thought about it carefully, since the other party is a fellow, and the three deficiencies and the five disadvantages are always the ones to commit the previous crime, and childlessness is also normal, then the one just now should be his nephew.

Qingying also knelt down and said, "Mr. Li, forgive me."

"It's okay, the child is easy to be startled at a young age, so it's no wonder other people run around by himself." Li Wenbo paused: "I studied under Mr. Liu Hefei. Dare I ask, where did Mr. Nan learn from?"

"It's just a small family, I'm afraid you haven't heard of it." Nan Shi originally wanted to pretend to be tough and took out his business card to give to the other party, but then thought - no, does he have such a thing?He had no choice but to say: "I opened a shop on Haitang East Street, selling antiques and so on. If Mr. Li has nothing to do, you can come and drink tea with me."

What Nanshi said meant that he was willing to be friends with Li Wenbai, that's why he said that.

Li Wenbo laughed after hearing this: "Coincidentally, I also opened a shop, it's on West Street, call Ziyun."

"Good name." Nan Shi tried hard to think about it, and he seemed to have seen this name before, but he had never entered it, and he didn't know what it was selling: "That's a coincidence, I will come to you when the store is deserted later. , I hope you don’t think I’ll be fine if I drink too much tea.”

Seeing Li Wenbai nodding his head, Nan Shi said again: "I still have some urgent matters at home, so I won't stay any longer, Mr. Li will see you later."

"Okay, see you later."

Nan Shi breathed a sigh of relief, led Qingying into the car, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I thought he would pull out a mahogany sword out of nowhere and yell 'monster suffer death' when he sees you, Then I'm doomed, I can't keep this king crab."

Qingying said seriously: "If there is a real fight, Mr. Li can't help but be a servant. His breath is messy, obviously he borrowed the power of something else."

"There are many friends and many paths." Nan Shi said with a smile.

When he got home, he asked the chef to share a large pair of pliers and send it to Chi You with the supper. He set up an offering table in his yard sincerely. Although the chef made a few big dishes , once placed on the red red, green green, it is very appetizing to look at.

Nan Shi generously lit a handful of incense directly, held the incense in both hands, and bowed to the sky: "Thank you for showing me face before, Nan Shi thanked me here."

After praying three times in a row, he knelt down again, prayed three more times, and finally squatted aside to burn paper money for Father Tiandao—I don’t know if Father Tiandao needs it, anyway, he just burned it and it’s over.

Of course, he also hesitated, for example, Guo Xingxian cooked him something and almost knocked him out of his wits, but Tiandao's father may not be as good as him, right?Rounding up and down, it is not surprising that many people are polite, burn it!

A gust of wind came from nowhere, and the flames of burning paper money in the copper basin soared to a height of one meter, and the unburned tin foil was swept up by the wind, dancing like butterflies in the air.

To be reasonable, this scene is quite beautiful, but Nan Shi hastily ordered from the side: "My mother... Hurry up, tell people to watch, and don't burn the house down."

Although the steel structure of his house was replaced during renovation, most of the surface is still wood!There were so many trees, it would be strange if his senior brother couldn't kill him if it really caught fire - anyone who was half asleep and found that their house was on fire might not have a good temper.

Qinglan and Qingying held back their smiles and ordered people to go, but in fact, where would it burn?There are so many fierce ghosts in their house, and the air is extremely dark, even the temperature is a little lower than outside, and the sparks are afraid that they will be extinguished before they hit the ground.

Nanshi finished burning a wave, waited for the candle to burn out, and ordered someone to bring out another copper basin, and divided the remaining paper money in the house into two bundles, one big and one small, and the small bundle was sold in the market It was about 50 yuan: "Go and burn it outside the door, no need to draw a circle..."

He thought for a while, then paused again: "Go and ask the cook to cook a pot of porridge, share it in the corner, and let them pick it up by themselves."

The servant girl took the order and left.

In Nanshi, this is doing good deeds, burning money without drawing a circle, porridge is under the wall, and those who express their opinions will get it for themselves.

No matter what year there is no shortage of lonely souls and wild ghosts, those who have no sacrifices and accidentally stay in the world always have various difficulties. He used to spend money on charity projects (although there are very few), and today there is no shortage. I know why, I just remembered this discount.

During the day, he asked Xingxian for one hundred, and he spent fifty, which was fortune-telling money. He leaked the secret, so he was going to give up half to do some charity, to please Tiandao's father, and to accumulate some virtue for himself. This is the rule of fortune-telling.

He squatted down again, took another copper basin and began to burn money. These bundles were for Zhuowen. Zhuowen took care of him for a long time. Thinking that he had never returned before, he didn’t know if he would Worried, burning some paper money now, one is to thank him, and the other is to at least let him know that he is fine.

When the two candles were burned down to the last bit, Nan Shi also happened to clean up all the things on this side. He got up and cleaned up the altar table himself, and put it away. He looked at the king crab that was already so cold... I'm getting hungry.

He hasn't eaten yet!Even though it was cold, it still looked delicious!

It shouldn't matter, right?After all, I heard that eating offerings will bring good luck!

Thinking of this, Nan Shi happily pinched a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, then frowned, began to doubt his tongue, chewed it a few more times, then turned his head silently and spat it out.

——It tastes the same as Jue Wax.

Nan Shi looked up at the sky, thinking that this is all right, in the future, he still can't scold him, and the offerings are all eaten up, it's a good thing he didn't force Lai Lai in his heart just now, otherwise it would be bad luck.

He didn't want to wait until the chicken had finished pecking the rice mountain, the dog had finished licking the dough mountain, and the candle flame had burned the chain① before he could get lucky.

Nan Shi bowed respectfully again: You always eat and drink well. Tomorrow I will buy you a piece of wagyu beef aged in butter for you to offer. I don’t have any other requirements. Let your cute cub make a fortune first. alright.

***

On the next day, Nan Shi went to open the business happily - although the Chinese New Year was coming soon, there were no farts on the pedestrian street, but he still went to open the business with the idea of ​​earning a little money.

Who knows the bitterness of social animals.jpg

Seeing him coming, Aunt Liu, who was selling silk, blinked her eyes in surprise: "Oh! Xiao Nan, did you open the door? I just said that I saw you yesterday. I heard that you were in a car accident? Ah, so good?"

Nan Shi smiled and said, "It's all right, it's all over."

Auntie Liu usually takes care of Nan Shi, and when she heard this, she stepped forward and took a closer look at him by the arm: "It's good that you have nothing to do, there will be a lot of things to do during the Chinese New Year, so you don't go to those places... Let me tell you , you young people may not know that the old way (time) to walk a little further from the train station is a mass grave! Also, don’t go to that side of Ganjiang, Moxie Road, the moat is not flat, and when the Chinese New Year’s dragon arrives The prince wants to eat steamed buns!"

What steamed buns?Of course, it is steamed buns made of human heads.

"Look at the two bridges Zhuhui and Midu, many people die every year. They are very evil."

Zhuhui Bridge and Midu Bridge are two bridges in S City, standing on the moat in the east of the city. When those bridges were south, I vaguely remembered hearing his grandma say that there are indeed car accidents every year, and people are bound to die. After a long time, it became an evil place passed on by the population of S city.

Nanshi remembered that the most troublesome time seemed to be three years ago, when an old man walked out of the community at the end of Zhuhui Bridge, and was hit and killed by a car on the spot. As a result, on the first seven days, his wife also came out of the community, and was hit by a car again. I was hit and killed, and everyone who lived there at that time was in danger②, and even the city specially sent traffic police to direct traffic at both ends of the bridge. Vehicles should not exceed 20 yards when driving off the bridge, so as to avoid further accidents .

"I know, thank you, Aunt Liu." It was still early, and Nan Shi was not in a hurry to open the door: "Do you have any good products over there? I will get two shawls for my grandma to wear when I go out during the Chinese New Year." Playing mahjong is a good way to save face."

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "I don't have any shawls. You know what I have in the store, but recently a batch of good materials came in. Why don't you find a tailor? Please come and see if you want to see it." .”

"Okay." Nan Shi stepped forward to help Aunt Liu open the shutter door, and Aunt Liu didn't see him, so she took him upstairs to have a look.This silk shop is also a small two-story building like Nanshi. Aunt Liu is a local, so she doesn't have a residence on the upper floor, and simply changes it into a warehouse to store some fabrics.

There was a large bundle of things wrapped in opaque plastic film on the long table on the second floor. Aunt Liu stepped forward to remove the plastic film, revealing the smooth and delicate silk and satin inside.Aunt Liu pointed to one of the red ones and said, "Red ones are not good. My daughter is going to get married next year, so I have to save this one for her wedding dress. You can choose whatever you want. The price is a bit expensive, but good things are always expensive. "

"I understand." Nan Shi said again and again. He was not polite, and carried it by himself. The material is really good, slippery and has a special sense of adsorption. Nan Shi picked a dark purple and a The dark gray one is going to be pulled two meters each to make a shawl for the old lady. I was about to ask Aunt Liu to pull the cloth, when I suddenly saw a dark red one at the bottom. The color is saturated and deep, with a low-key Luxurious, Nan Shi knew it was suitable for Chi You at a glance.

Nan Shi reached out to touch it, and found that it was still a piece of fragrant cloud yarn.The fragrant cloud gauze is refreshing and pleasant, breathable and dirt-resistant, non-sticky to the skin, very suitable for summer wear③... How about buying this one for his brother?Although his senior brother had no shortage of fabrics, but the fabrics had been stored for so long, they were definitely not as good as new ones.

Nan Shi made the decision in twos and threes. When he paid, he didn't blink his eyes. Aunt Liu repeatedly praised him for his generosity. Xiangyun yarn is two or three times more expensive than ordinary silk. That piece of Xiangyun yarn is 30 meters long. It's really not cheap, she was so happy that she simply gave Nan Shi the other few meters of silk as a gift for him.

He went back to his shop with the cloth in his arms. Qing Lan had just gone in quietly and tore off the white cloth inside. After a while, the windows were cleared up and the incense was lit. Nan Shi was in charge of opening the door and it was done. up.

"Qingying, help me send these two pieces of cloth home first. The purple and gray ones will be used as shawls. I will take them back when I visit my grandma." It’s Chinese New Year at home. I was afraid that his physique would be haunted by ghosts and get out of town for fear of accidents. Now that I think about it, it doesn’t matter. I can go back for the New Year.

The last time he went back was during the Chinese New Year last year. Although he usually made video calls with his grandma, it was strange to think about her now.

Looking at the situation at home, it was obvious that Chi You was planning to do something about it. If he said temporarily that he would go home during the New Year, would his senior brother be angry?Nan Shi thought about it carefully, then he might as well take grandma to S city, just to accompany grandma to play in S city, and then send grandma back to the countryside after the seventh day of the first lunar month.

good idea!When the time comes, he will live in Nanchen Pavilion with his grandma, and then bring his grandma to have a New Year's Eve dinner with his senior brother. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

Open the door for business today, go back tonight and ask his senior brother, if his senior brother agrees, he will pick up his grandma tomorrow.

I just want to introduce his senior brother and grandma, so that he can be regarded as a relative who has passed the Ming Road!

Nan Shi was humming an out-of-tune song, everything in Nanchen Pavilion was tidied up, and he didn't need to do anything else, he found a box of beads and copper coins, he hadn't made anything for a long time, and he was a little raw.

When the sun was shining, the flow of people gradually increased, and customers came into his store one after another. Nan Shi himself hated the overly enthusiastic shopping guides. Anyway, the customers didn't call him when they came in. Instead, they became two people. single business.

As soon as Nanshi settled the bill for the previous customer, two young ladies in Hanfu walked into the store, with red cloaks and embroidered cranes and auspicious clouds. It looked very rich and luxurious at first glance. One of the young ladies held an embroidered lady in her hand. Handbag, shouted: "Boss, the bracelet I bought from you last time was broken, can you help me to re-string it?"

Nan Shi raised his eyes when he heard the sound, and said with a smile, "Yes, it's free, and it will take about 5 minutes."

He still does a good job after sales.

When another young lady saw Nanshi, she subconsciously grabbed the arm of the little sister next to her. Her face moved, as if she was happy or trying to hide her expression. The other lady patted her arm to signal not to get too excited. , and pulled her to sit down at the counter.

The broken bead was put in a small sachet by the young lady, and Nan Shi took it to the workbench to wear it. Another person whispered in her ear, "Dancing grass, why didn't you tell me?" This boss is so handsome?!"

The little sister said with a smile: "Isn't there no surprise after I said it... But he is really handsome. The boss didn't open the door before. I thought I would never see him again. Did he go for plastic surgery during this time?!"

"You're blind! This is obviously the little brother who wins by temperament! His style really dances on my fetish, ah, I'm dead!"

"Keep your voice down, can you stop being such an idiot!"

"No, I want to ask the boss for his contact information! Does he have a girlfriend?!"

"I don't know that either."

Nan Shi was listening from the side, with a smile on his lips, and he looked more and more refined and handsome - he was always happy when someone praised him.

Sure enough, after a while, one of the girls came over and chatted with Nan Shi: "... Boss, have you skewered it? Eh? Are you actually using red tassels? Boss, are you not losing money?"

Nan Shi replied: "I see that you are all wearing red cloaks, and the red should match. If you don't like it, I can change it now."

"No need, no need, red is good!" The girl changed the topic: "Boss, can we add a contact information?"

"Huh?" Nan Shi immediately shook his head and rejected him. Why does he want a little girl's contact information in a gay way?And he doesn't like selling goods on WeChat, and he usually likes to make complaints about Moments. He is too lazy to post on Moments and chooses to block people: "No, thank you."

The young lady lowered her face in disappointment, and was about to go back, when she suddenly saw a young brother who was dressed a little... Enchanting, entered the door, his eyes lit up when he saw Nan Shi, and he stepped forward quickly: "Boss Nan, you opened the door ?”

"Hello, what do you want to buy?" Nan Shi asked.

The little brother winked at Nan Shi with a wink like silk: "I like everything Boss Nan sells."

Nan Shi: "..."

If it weren't for the fact that there are two girls here, he wished he could grab this bitch and tell him: Zero and zero can't become 1!

——This is the one that gave him the Tiaodan remote control!

The little brother didn't mind Nan Shi's indifference, he sighed and said, "Boss Nan is still so indifferent to me..."

While talking, another person came in from outside, that person was slender and elegant, it was Li Wenbai whom he met yesterday.He was wearing the same long gown as Nanshi today, and when he stood there, with the antique background, it made everyone present feel like an old shadow of the Republic of China.

The enchanting little brother looked at Li Wenbo, and then exchanged glances with the young lady.

The young lady also looked at him.

...Damn it, it turns out that there is an owner!This looks like a couple!Also couple outfits!

Li Wenbai looked at him inexplicably: "...? Is Boss Nan busy?"
