Yan Shan finally accepted my proposal.
Of course, it's not a complete acceptance, but rather a chance for me to try.
He can support me as long as I can convince the other businesses on the street, provided that they do as I tell them, and the coffin shop must be the initial project.
He said he had been guarding this coffin shop for decades, from when he came here as an apprentice until his master passed the business on to him, so he had to protect it.
Whether someone is famous or not is not that important.
The reason they agreed to my request was because they felt I was outspoken and bold, unlike other young people.
Anyway, I believe it.
In the afternoon, Yan Shan didn't ask me to do any more odd jobs. There wasn't much to do at the coffin shop anyway. Since I wasn't learning any skills, I could only help look after the shop and take care of the business.
The reason Yan Shan made me clean in the morning was not only because he was lazy, but also because he wanted to see if I could endure hardship. However, there is no need for that now.
Having received Yan Shan's permission, I began to think about my next plan that afternoon.
In this life, if I don't return to the Xu family, my start will inevitably be much more difficult, and I may even experience repeated failures. After all, although I don't belong to this world, the guy in my head is unreliable and is probably in a state of stagnation and shutdown right now.
So I can only rely on myself.
This coffin shop is just the beginning.
I have no idea what the outcome of this beginning will be.
"What have you thought about it?"
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Shan came to me. He looked at the paper in front of me with a smile. Seeing that the paper was still blank, he patted my shoulder and said, "If you ask me, you should give up."
"You may have many ideas, but ideas are just ideas."
"In practice, it's not that easy."
"Uncle Shan, I've already thought of some things," I said with a smile.
Yan Shan paused for a moment, "Didn't you not write anything on the paper?"
"I've been watching you all afternoon, and you haven't moved an inch. How did you make up your mind?"
I pointed to my head and said, "Holding the pen and paper is just for show; the idea is already in my head."
Yan Shan said irritably, "Then tell me."
"Let me see if it's true."
"If you're lying to me, you can sleep in a coffin tonight."
"It can't be that cruel, can it?" My lips twitched slightly involuntarily, and my gaze subconsciously swept over the coffins around me. Although I've lain in coffins before, I had resigned myself to my fate back then. This is different now.
I don't want to die now.
Now all I want is to live well, change that past future, and make up for the regrets I missed.
Yan Shan sat down right next to me. "Then let's see if you're lying to me."
I felt a little helpless, and after thinking for a moment, I said, "Actually, my idea is very simple, it can be summed up in two words."
"Innovation!"
"Innovation?" Yan Shan looked at me with a puzzled expression.
I continued, "If I'm not mistaken, the owners of all the shops on this street that are related to funerals are probably around your age, right?"
“Most of their children are unwilling to come into contact with these things, or they themselves are unwilling to let their children come into contact with them.”
Am I right?
Yan Shan nodded and said, "Those people are different from me. They are just in it for the money. Once they have made enough money, they naturally don't want their children to be exposed to these things."
"To put it bluntly, it's the same as erecting a chastity archway."
"They make money in this industry, but they complain about how unlucky it is."
“That’s normal,” I said with a smile.
