Chapter 233 The business experience of Shoucai Shop
Ji Youyi glanced at her and said, "Since you want to stay, you must abide by the rules of the game."
Gu Ye was speechless by her rebuke and could only watch her leave bitterly. Then he tied his sleeves and turned back to sort out the leftovers on the table.
An An stood at the door of the kitchen, watching him work with hostile eyes.
He picked up the bowls with two fingers and moved them to the stove one by one, with a look of disgust on his face.
This is the state of Gu Ye's work.
An An felt bad looking at it, and scolded her with disgust: "At your speed, I'm afraid you haven't cleaned up when my mother comes back. Did you pay such bad attention? I can't bear to wait for my mother to come back.
Offer to help you clean up?"
Gu Ye's fingers that were holding the bowl loosened, and the bowl fell to the ground and shattered instantly.
He did it on purpose, but he made a mistake and said with a fake apology, "Ah~ I'm sorry, my hand slipped."
An An's face was dark, her mouth was pursed, and after looking at him for a while, she said: "As if your shoulders can't bear it and your hands can't lift it, I advise you to leave quickly and don't waste time here."
Gu Bu walked up to the child in a hurry, knelt down, looked straight up, and asked with a smile: "Why are you so anxious to drive me away?"
"You are so useless, wasting food here." An An took a few steps back, wondering why this man didn't like him.
He felt that this man was threatening, so he thought of ridiculing this man in order to achieve his own goal, but now, it seemed that his goal was seen through.
This made him very unhappy.
"Since you are a long-term worker, you should work hard and don't dress in fancy clothes, thinking that you are here to enjoy yourself." He was extremely angry and said in anger.
Gu couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud, "What you said is pretty much the same as what your mother said.
He stretched out his hand, hooked An An's head, and kneaded it randomly. He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Little brat, don't use your brain. Go take a nap and read when you wake up."
An An was angry and swatted his hand away while hiding, "You are not a good person."
After that, he ran into the house without looking back.
Gu Ye shrugged, stood up and continued working.
Ji Youyi did not expect that leaving the old and the young in the medicine garden would lead to the first intrigue between men.
She was currently heading to the longevity shop in the village.
There are several essential shops in the village, and the longevity material shop is one of them. During festivals and festivals, you always need these things when you visit the tombs to worship ancestors.
The one who does the longevity material business is Zhao Wan, an old boss in the village.
Zhao Wan is over 50 years old this year. He is blind in one eye and has burn scars on half of his face. He is a bit hunched, and there is no one around him. He only has an apprentice working under him. If nothing else, he will be a long-lived person in the future.
The shop belongs to this apprentice.
When Ji Youyi walked in, there was no one in the store. There was a string of paper money hanging at the door. When she went inside, it was dim and dark, surrounded by neat coffins, some wood and semi-finished coffins, and a few paper dolls hanging on the roof. She was very cautious.
people.
"Who is it?" Zhao Wan listened to the voice and walked out of the inner hall.
Ji Youyi was startled when she saw Zhao Wan, and thought he looked a little sinister. She calmed down and said, "Shopkeeper, I'm here to buy something."
Zhao Wan looked Ji Youyi up and down with one eye, then said with a slanted smile: "It must be from Zhao San's family."
"Yes." Ji Youyi did not deny it. This matter was so big that everyone in the village must know about it.
Zhao Wan nodded and walked to the side where the coffins were placed. "There are exactly three coffins here. I'll give you a cheaper one, twenty taels of silver."
Ji Youyi stepped forward and knocked on the wood. It was quite thick and the surrounding areas were polished smooth. However, she did not speak immediately, but looked around.
How could Zhao Wan not understand what she was thinking, "How about I sell a small one at a cheaper price, only ten cents, a big one of three and a small one, twenty or twenty cents, it's a good deal."
Ji Youyi didn't answer his words, and looked at a few dark coffins in the corner, so she went over and took a look. The walls were a little thinner, but they looked strong, but there were some burrs around them.
"How much will it cost to polish these three coffins for me?" She counted them and designated these.
Zhao Wan glanced at it and said, "One or two or eight dollars."
"Shopkeeper, although I'm young, I'm not stupid. Are you trying to trick me? These three coffins are going to get moldy if they are kept there for a long time. Are you still selling them at such a high price? How about nine hundred coins?"
Ji Youyi actually doesn't understand the market, but she still has to bargain.
Zhao Wan seemed a little displeased and muttered: "How can anyone go to the longevity shop to bargain."
Ji Youyi didn't care about this, so why wouldn't the money she saved be used for? Although she agreed to collect their bodies for funerals, she didn't say she would forgive them for what they had done before.
"If you don't want to, I can go to the next village to buy it." She turned her head and said, "If you don't sell it, I'll leave."
"Okay, okay, nine hundred cents, nine hundred cents." Zhao Wan called to stop him. If you have money, you have to make money. He pointed to the paper doll above his head and said, "Would you like to buy some paper dolls?
Mountains of gold and silver and the like.”
Ji Youyi refused without even thinking.
"We are from a poor family. How can we enjoy happiness underground? No need. Just prepare some white candles and yellow paper for me. Just give me one or two."
If it weren't for the fear of Muramasa losing his temper, she wouldn't have prepared the white candle and yellow paper, and would just make do with it now.
She paid a tael of silver and said, "Does the shopkeeper know where these things should be sent?"
"I know, I know. I also went to see the fire." Who doesn't like to join in the fun? Zhao Wan went for a walk this morning and was waiting for this business when he came back.
After buying the things, Ji Youyi walked to the door and suddenly turned back, "Shopkeeper, I don't know much about this matter. Can you tell me about it?"
She took out a small amount of money and put it on the counter. She still knew the attitude of asking for help.
Seeing that she was so cheerful, Zhao Wan was not embarrassed and began to tell her the things he noticed one by one.
First, the spirit is laid out for three days for people to pay their respects, and then there is the burial, the funeral procession, the coffin bearers, etc. Generally speaking, the villagers are also left to have a meal, because everyone will come to help.
Ji Youyi roughly understood it, and now she remembered that she had actually experienced it when she first arrived here, but her mind was confused at the time, and she didn't notice it before she could figure things out.
"Thank you." After figuring out what to do, she continued to ask: "Is there anyone who can help with the burial? Can you hire a funeral team?"
Zhao Wan was a little surprised, "These are all prepared by the person who handles the affairs themselves, and the funeral ceremony is also done by myself."
This is so inhumane.
Ji Youyi said with a look of disapproval: "Shopkeeper, your service is not good. You need one-stop service."
“What is one-stop service?”
