Chapter 28
The atmosphere at the scene was awkward.
"Ahem."
Boss Huang coughed twice, found a rag and turned to wipe the cash register.
Wei Yanlin's face turned from red to purple. He swung his wide Taoist robe, stepped on his woven straw sandals, and grabbed the beggar's theory, "Hey, hey, hey, I calculated that you were destined to make a fortune that day, but it was only for that day. If you miss the time to buy, will the loss be on my head? That doesn't make sense."
It was not easy to meet a beautiful woman to go with him. How could the suave and romantic Master Wei, who was famous in Tung Choi Street, make such a big fool of himself?
He was so embarrassed that he didn't even have the face to glance at the girl standing quietly beside him.
When he looked up again, Chu Yueqing had disappeared.
Chu Yueqing bought some things and left the Feng Shui shop. She rode her bike across the street from Tung Choi Street. Many people greeted her along the way. The housewives were carrying baskets filled with carefully selected food from the market to supply the whole family with food for the day. Seeing the beautiful girl riding a stall cart passing by, they waved with a smile on their faces.
"Xingxing, are you opening the stall?"
"Be careful when you ride the bike."
"Master Chu, when will you be free to tell my fortune?"
The stall cart was moving at lightning speed, and the glass cabinet tilted to the left when it turned the corner. Chu Yueqing slowed down, waved to the housewives, her lychee eyes curved, and a smile appeared on her fair face.
"Master Ding, Master Lei, Master Li, good morning!"
Master Ding waved to Chu Yuening to stop the car, took out a keel from the vegetable basket and stuffed it under the stall with brisk steps, "You are so pretty, I specially said hello to the pork guy two days ago. You can take it back to make soup to replenish your sister's health."
"No, Master Ding should leave it to her grandson." Chu Yuening braked her feet, stood up, lifted her butt off the seat, turned around and reached out to hand out the keel to return it.
"It's just one meal." Grandma Ding didn't mind, "I know you don't have time to go to the market. By the way, the refreshing sugar water is really effective. My grandson drank it and he no longer has dizziness and headaches when studying. The most important thing is that he got a perfect score. Is there any more today?" "Yes
." Chu Yueqing opened the lid of the popsicle box placed horizontally under the stall, reached out and fumbled for a long time, then took out a bottle and handed it to Grandma Ding.
Grandma Ding was so happy that she opened her wallet to take out money.
"No need, just consider it as payment for the dragon bone." Chu Yueling had already got on the stall and stepped on the pedal. "But the Qingshen sugar water is effective, but you don't have to drink it every day. Come back to buy some next week!"
Auntie Ding was very happy. She put the sugar water into the vegetable basket and praised it with several other aunties. "Qingshen sugar water is a good thing. My grandson said it can refresh the mind and is more effective than coffee. Drinking a cup will make you energetic all day long."
"Is it true? Is it really that amazing?" Auntie Lei kept glancing at Auntie Ding's vegetable basket.
"My grandson said it's very strong."
Several housewives were also tempted and pushed each other, "Why don't we go to Temple Street and ask for it?"
"Only two cups a day." Auntie Ding was so proud that her face was dancing with joy. She had to use more strength to carry the basket of vegetables. "It's very difficult to buy. You can go and queue up tomorrow."
After Auntie Ding's promotion,
everyone was curious about Qingshen Dessert.
After all, who doesn't have one or two grandchildren who are studying?
Chu Yuexiang rode the stall cart to Temple Street without any obstacles.
When she arrived at the stall, Lin Jiahua had already opened the stall.
"Xingxi, let me help you." Lin Jiahua had just taken out a layer of cream cheese from the oven. When he saw Chu Yuexi coming in with a cart, he quickly took off his gloves and pushed his glasses, which only had one lens left. Only when he turned to face the light could he see that there was no lens on the other side of the frame.
Chu Yuexi waved her hands: "Do it yourself."
"Don't be silly, you girls should take care of your hands! Otherwise, you will make your hands look old, how can you wear beautiful jewelry?" Lin Jiahua didn't listen, walked over, bent down, and pulled out the small wooden table from under the stall cart. After placing it, he turned around and took out the popsicle box from under the stall cart and placed it on the glass counter.
After finishing his work, Lin Jiahua would go back to the stall.
"Wait a minute." Chu Yuening mounted the stand of the stall truck to make sure it was parked securely, then took out a box from the bottom of the car and handed it over, "Give it to you."
Lin Jiahua was surprised: "Give it to me? What? (What is it)"
"Take it apart and take a look." Chu Yuening's eyebrows were curved, showing off.
Lin Jiahua unwrapped the bow of the gift box. Lying inside was a glasses case. He touched the glasses with missing lenses on the bridge of his nose, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten.
"This brand costs more than a thousand yuan. Is it worth wasting money on me?"
Since he was a child, he has never received any decent birthday gifts, not even to his two biological sisters.
Ning Ning is not related to him, and she has to support the family.
Lin Jiahua wanted to take the glasses back for a refund.
"If you send them back, it means you despise the gift and don't want to be friends with me." Chu Yueqing pointed at Lin Jiahua's glasses and smiled, "Why don't you try them on?"
Lin Jiahua took off his glasses and squinted his eyes because of the light. Only after putting on the new glasses did his vision gradually become clearer. He was surprised, "The prescription is just right. How did you know?"
"The glasses you usually wear are an old brand. Now there is only one place in Hong Kong that sells them."
Yesterday when she went to Friendship Mall, she happened to visit this store and asked the boss to check Lin Jiahua's glasses information. Sure enough, it was there.
Lin Jiahua was quite diligent in checking his eyesight, so there was no problem with the prescription.
"Xingxi, thank you so much." Lin Jiahua suddenly became nervous. Thinking about the embarrassing financial situation, he was very grateful. "I originally wanted to save money for a few days before changing it."
"You're welcome. We are good friends!"
Chu Yuexi said. In front of the stall, more and more customers lined up.
She didn't chat anymore. She walked back to the stall in two steps, leaving the two at the front.
The first person to be told a fortune was a man.
He seemed to be at a loss, and sat down with his hands on the small wooden table.
At the same time.
Wei Yanlin and Boss Huang also came to the scene.
There were so many people, and the front was full of neighbors. Wei Yanlin couldn't see the dessert stall when he stepped on it, let alone see who was telling fortunes.
Boss Huang used his big belly to push people around him like a ball, and with great difficulty he and Wei Yanlin moved a little closer.
Auntie also came to watch the fun today. When she saw Wei Yanlin, she walked up to him in surprise and grabbed his hand, "Ah Lin?"
Wei Yanlin turned around and was surprised to see his relatives: "Cousin?"
The two of them talked briefly.
Wei Yanlin then realized that his cousin had also come to Temple Street.
Her cousin took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket, and as she was swayed left and right by the crowd, she looked at the stall with disdain, "I don't know how good she is. If you ask me, she has no real talent. The best thing she does is to use newspapers to hype herself up. She has really learned all the tricks from TVB stars."
"Without any reason, how could reporters promote her for free? In recent days, Temple Street has been filled with all the commotion, which is really annoying."
Wei Yanlin has always been aware of his cousin's powerful mouth. He had been annoyed by her many times in the past when he was on Tung Choi Street. When he introduced a few orders to her, she would take advantage of him and wish that he would praise her to the sky.
Immediately, Wei Yanlin wanted to quietly retreat, but his cousin grabbed his collar by one hand.
His cousin cracked melon seeds with one hand and kept nagging: "Ah Lin, why don't you set up a stall in Temple Street? Tangshui Mei is not as good as you. You are the heir of Li Qiming, one of the top ten Feng Shui masters in Hong Kong. In terms of status and ability, you are definitely better than Tangshui Mei."
Wei Yanlin listened and felt a little guilty.
When he followed his master, he only learned half of the skills. After his master passed away, his peers gave him a high status because of his master's former fame, which made him too embarrassed to learn from his master again. He
has always been a half-baked person.
"Cousin, stop talking nonsense."
After saying that, Wei Yanlin wanted to leave again, but his cousin grabbed his collar and stopped him, "It just so happens that you are here today. Wait a minute, you also go and do a calculation, and see who is more accurate between you and Tangshuimei."
In the stall.
The man looked dazed, and after sitting down, he slowly said: "Master Chu, I seem to be possessed by evil spirits."
As soon as the voice came out, the onlookers became excited.
Few people come up and say that they are possessed by evil spirits!
The neighbors who were about to leave stayed again. In today's world of advocating new science, there are still people who dare to be naked
Chu Yueqing looked at the man's back, then retracted his gaze and said, "Please continue."
The man continued to speak.
"I'm in the stone factory business, and that means I carve tombstones for the dead."
"Recently there was a series of car accidents on Jiujiang Road, and ten people died. All the invoices were given to me, but I made a mistake in the rush, and the wrong name was engraved on one of the tombstones."
He grabbed his hair in annoyance, looking dejected.
"I really didn't mean it. I discovered the mistake when the tombstone was erected, so I re-carved it overnight."
"I thought the matter would just pass, but recently, things have been getting weirder. First
, I got hit on the hand by a hammer when I was making the tombstone, and then I was almost hit by a car." "I've even started having nightmares every night. I dreamed that someone was hitting my head with a hammer."
The man became more and more agitated and his expression became more and more crazy: "I've clearly apologized and changed the tombstone. Why won't you let me go?"
"I can't sleep every night, and I have to rush to carve the tombstone the next day. I can't live like this."
The onlookers saw that the man was almost going crazy due to the torture, and they couldn't help but feel sympathy.
"It was a bit of a mistake to carve the wrong name on the stele, but you also apologized."
"Don't worry, the other party must have forgiven you."
"If you still can't sleep, go to the hospital and get a sleeping pill to help."
The man followed the advice and asked in a daze: "Master Chu, do you also think sleeping pills will help me?"
"It's useless." Chu Yueqing shook his head, "If you take sleeping pills, he will keep pestering you."
"Why?" The man didn't understand, "Is he still very angry? Angry that I carved the wrong word?"
Chu Yueqing said: "He is actually not angry that you carved the wrong word."
"Really?" The man thought everything was fine and raised his head in surprise.
"He's mad at you because of something else."
The man was confused again: "Other things? What else?"
Chu Yueqing saw that the man was still confused, and shook his head: "He's mad that you not only carved the wrong characters, but also buried him on the grave of his enemy, letting his enemy enjoy the offerings and incense from his family, and letting his enemy watch his son and wife cry every day."
"His enemies made fun of him."
"He's so angry that he comes to you to vent his anger?"
