Chapter 2 Temptation to join the job
Liu Jun got up early in the morning and washed himself. While he was washing, he analyzed it with his smart brain: receiving customers, doing manual work, escorting cars, communicating between the two places, Isn't this a proper foreign trade industry? Well, nothing was wrong. After washing up, I immediately went out to buy some soy milk and fried dough sticks, and took a taxi.
"Master, go to No. 89 Zhiyang Road." Liu Jun said as he got in the car.
"Okay, fasten your seat belt." The driver is a middle-aged uncle with a familiar face.
"Young man, you go to Burning Paper Street to do errands," the driver uncle said.
"Huh? A paper-burning street? Are they all shops for funerals? Are there no other shops?" Liu Jun asked curiously.
"Yes, there has always been a street for funerals and paper burning, there are no other shops," the driver uncle said.
Hearing what the uncle said, Liu Jun felt bad all over and was sweating. The high-paying job that was about to be obtained suddenly disappeared. The image of the old man yesterday also became eerie. Could it be that he was recently hospitalized and had bad luck? Can you hit a ghost in broad daylight?
However, the temptation of the high salary, the embarrassment of life, and the empty wallet made Liu Jun forcibly shocked. I kept comforting myself in my heart that it was okay. Maybe the old man opened a new foreign trade store and opened it there specially. The old man's behavior didn't look like he was in his right mind. He should have done this.
The taxi drove for about twenty minutes and arrived at the gate of No. 89 Zhiyang Road. Liu Jun got out of the car and looked up. A funeral shop without a door, some wreaths and burning paper placed at the door. On the side of the door, there is a blue sign hanging, which clearly says: No. 89 Zhiyang Road.
Liu Jun hesitated for a while, what to do? This is really a funeral store, why did the old man say it was like a foreign trade store. Can't get in?
After struggling for a while, standing stupidly at the door was not an option. Liu Jun immediately gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and walked in. He was a healthy flower of the nine-year compulsory education in the motherland and an atheist. , are you still worried about this?
After entering the door, Liu Jun looked around. Not to mention, this store doesn’t look big from the outside, but it’s quite spacious inside. There is a long old-fashioned wooden counter facing the door, and behind the wooden counter there is a large wooden cabinet with drawers. Ignoring the paper figures next to him burning paper coins, Liu Jun almost thought he had come to a Chinese medicine shop.
"Hey, boy, what are you looking at with such a sly look?"
Liu Jun turned his head and saw that there were two Taishi chairs on the left, with an old-fashioned wooden tea table in the middle. The old man said this while sitting on the Taishi chair. This old man is definitely not a normal person. Whose funeral shop has a chair for the master? No one with any normal thinking would do this, right?
"Old man, you are not authentic. Why did the foreign trade business that we promised become a funeral shop?" Liu Jun said with resentment.
"Hey, you kid, don't slander others. When did I say it was a foreign trade job?" the old man said.
"You bad old man, then you say, I can understand receiving customers, but what about the manual work? What about escorting the car? How do you talk about communicating between the two places?" Liu Jun said angrily.
“Isn’t it easy to do it by hand? Have you seen those paper figures? They are all made by hand, and those made by machines are soulless. As for escorting the car, some customers have to follow the hearse if they need it. . And that old man is not very talented at communicating between the two places, but he still knows some psychic skills to help clients communicate about people and ghosts in the Yin and Yang worlds." The old man said calmly, stroking his beard.
? ? ? Three greetings appeared on Liu Jun's head. How can you explain it this way? The machine has made it soulless, and a paper-tying man has a woolen soul. It’s scary. Also, has Naruto seen too many psychic skills? Summon a giant toad? He almost asked this old man to lead him into a ditch. This bad old man is very bad, and she was leading him into a misunderstanding.
"You can do it. You're great. Damn it, old man, you win. The taxi fare is blind. If I can't offend you, I can't hide. I'm gone. You can do whatever you like." As he spoke, Liu Jun turned around and walked towards the door.
"Uh-huh, six thousand a month. If you do a good job, you will get a commission, and we will also arrange a job. Tsk tsk, I don't know which one will be cheaper in this job." The old man looked at Liu Jun and turned to leave, no He said slowly.
Liu Jun's leg that was about to step out of the door slowly pulled back. "Look, boss, I'm going to work now? It doesn't matter whether you have money or not, and it doesn't matter whether you have a partner or not. The main thing I think is that someone has to do this kind of work. Buddha said: If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? The three good young people in the new century must have a high level of consciousness." Liu Jun paused after speaking.
"Um, are our wages paid once a month? When will we arrange a partner? Will we arrange it as soon as we start work?"
"Is it okay for you to be a little promising? Your partner will pay you at the end of each month based on your performance. If the salary is not enough, you will be paid on a monthly basis. Isn't that generous, old man?"
The old man said with a smile, thinking in his heart. : This guy is real, and his shameless energy is quite interesting.
"What about that, old man? Today is the 29th. At the end of tomorrow, can I get one month's salary from you tomorrow?" Liu Jun said, licking his face.
"Go away, this month doesn't count, go and set up the paper figures and stuff! If you continue to be shameless, your salary will be gone next month." The old man roared.
Haha, this old man has such a bad character, he doesn’t have the calmness and kindness that an elderly person should have.
"You are not allowed to go up to the second floor. You stay on the first floor. I will teach you how to tie paper later. There is a pile of paper in the middle drawer under the counter. Write your name on it. There is a brush next to it." The old man looked at Liu. Jun said.
Liu Jun walked into the counter and looked down, opened the drawer, took out a piece of paper and put it on the counter. He looked next to him, picked up the brush next to him, and wrote his name in a flurry of dragons and phoenixes. He has used pencils, pens, and ballpoint pens, but he has never used a brush to write his name. After reading this, the writing is quite good.
The old man took the paper he wrote on and looked at it carefully. Liu Jun didn't pay much attention to it. There were so many abnormalities that he got used to it.
"Old man, you said you know the art of psychics, but can you draw talismans? Just like in the movie, the zombie priest can immobilize zombies with just one talisman?" Liu Jun asked curiously.
"I can draw symbols, but it's not time to teach you yet. Watch less movies or something, and your mind won't be so big," the old man said, glancing at Liu Jun.
This old man keeps talking when he talks, so how can he return a personal attack?
"What, what does the talisman look like? Is it powerful?" Although Liu Jun is a good young man in society, he always feels that this old man has two tricks. The various actions of this old man indicate that he is either a mental patient who just recovered and was discharged from the hospital without knowing which hospital, or he is really capable. It's possible that the patient is not likely to suffer from mental illness, because the set of Taishi's chair is made of pearwood. Liu Jun had seen a set when he worked in a furniture store before. The boss valued it very much and it has become very valuable. Most people can't afford this thing.
"What does the spell look like? It's almost like the dog crawling character you wrote. The difference is: humans can't understand the spell, but ghosts can. You're awesome. People can't understand it, and ghosts can't understand it either. "The old man glanced at Liu Jun contemptuously and said.
Haha, you are awesome, you are awesome, you are the boss, I can’t afford to offend you, I won’t ask. Why did you say this and you were despised? Liu Jun rolled his eyes.
