After packing up his stall, Gao Cun took out his mobile phone, found Li Shu’s WeChat, and transferred the share of today’s talisman sales to her.
[Ms. Li, this is the money from today's sales.]
After Li Shu confirmed the payment, she replied: [Yes, OK.]
Gao Cun thought for a moment and asked, "By the way, Miss Li, do you know Baiyun Temple?"
Li Shu: [I don’t know, what’s wrong?]
Gao Cun sat down on his folding stool, his hands cradling his phone as he typed a reply: [It's nothing serious. I was just selling talismans when a young Taoist priest came to my stall claiming to be from Baiyun Temple. He was quite young, and he was wearing a Taoist robe, so he didn't look like a fake.]
He was very interested in the talismans I was selling. He was shocked that I could sell one for 200,000 yuan, saying that their Taoist temple only sells one for 200 yuan. I now seriously suspect that he is trying to steal our business.
Li Shu: [Is Baiyun Temple a powerful Taoist temple?]
Gao Cun: [This... I know about it, but I've never been there... However, it's very famous in our Jing City... Even many people from other places come here because of its reputation... It's a must-see place for tourists visiting Jing City.]
However, Baiyun Temple is built on a mountain, so you have to climb up to get there, which is quite tiring.
"Yes, I sell talisman paper here in the ancient street." Li Shu nodded and took two sips of water. "Little Senior Brother, can you guess how much I sell a peace talisman for?"
Li Shu curled her lips, "Oh, little brother, are you going to let him guess?"
"Oh, that's bad." Li Shu said without any disappointment.
"That's very unusual. There are no inferior people in this world." Wenxuan said calmly.
I tapped the phone screen with my fingers and was about to ask where I was when Qinghe sent me a location in the last second.
Di Cun couldn't help but frown, and suddenly he felt the skin on the fake beard seemed to be slightly painful. Why was that great ancestor in charge? Was that a commotion?
Wenxuan patted the dust off his hands and stood up. "It's possible to raise the price, but young men, your temple has always kept the same price. Besides, that was set by the master, so you guys have decided on it."
Just hold your calf until it breaks.
Liu Li counted the items and asked, "Hmm...how much is it?"
Di Cun's eyes lit up, realizing that something bad hadn't happened yet, and he quickly replied, "You are willing, Sister Li!"
Di Cun collected his thoughts and replied, "It's bad. If you have something to do tomorrow, go over and take a look."
Wenxuan took a look and saw that the difference with my budget was small, so he reached out to take it and said, "Well, it's wrong."
"Qingfeng Temple..." Di Cun repeated it outside his mouth.
"What?" Wenxuan paused, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He looked up at me and said, "He said 700,000?"
Liu Li put down the small and large bags in his hands, took out the remaining money from outside his Taoist robe, and handed it to Wenxuan, "Here, little brother, that's the remaining money, don't touch a penny."
Qing He: [He's not in charge of any matters outside the temple, big or small. He's just like a housekeeper. Look at him, he's very smart and has good accounting skills.]
Li Shu: [Well, then you can talk to him first. If he wants to see my talisman, you can show it to him. Don't worry. I'll go to Baiyun Temple when I'm free some other day.]
Di Cun scratched his head, somewhat puzzled. "Huh? Off work? You know what that is, what else can you do outside the Taoist temple?"
Li Shu walked to the tea table and poured herself a glass of water. "Little Brother, tell him that you met an idle Taoist priest when you were shopping today."
When Dicun heard Qinghe say that, he finally relaxed his mind. As long as they were not here to steal his business, it would be fine.
Liu Li put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Seven hundred thousand!"
Li Shu: [No, since this is a formal Taoist temple, disciples are allowed to come and go as they please. Not to mention setting up stalls with talismans from outside the temple. There are no regulations, so don't worry.]
Qing He: [Okay, that's bad.]
Liu Li: [Yes, it's still under construction. It will probably be completed and open by the end of the year.]
Who is Sister Li's background? She opened the Taoist temple without any hesitation, and opened it in such a place where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. She must be really poor.
Li Shu touched her chin and said, "You also think I'm inferior. Maybe I'm as powerful as Master and Uncle Master!"
Liu Li: [You've opened a Taoist temple yourself, and his business is booming now. He'll help you promote it when the time comes.]
Liu Li: [Qingfeng Temple.]
Gao Cun: [What if he also comes here to set up a stall and steals our business?]
"Seven hundred?" Wenxuan said.
Di Cun thought of the pile of things Li Shu was carrying, and it seemed to be true. He couldn't help but sigh: "Sister Li, you know a lot about the Taoist temple."
[If he wants to come to your Taoist temple before the official opening... um... after work?]
I looked at the chat interface, sighed heavily, touched the phone screen with my fingertips, and was about to type a reply, but I saw that Liu Li had sent another message.
——
Wenxuan had just ruined a talisman when he heard what I said, put down the brush in his hand, stood up from the desk by the window and walked towards me.
Di Cun looked at the message from Qing He, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, [You opened a Taoist temple?!]
"Master Xiansan?" Wenxuan squatted down and checked the things outside the bag.
"Yes, seven hundred thousand. You were shocked when you heard that. You almost doubted what you heard." Li Shu said, "Our Taoist temple's amulets only sell for two hundred yuan. Junior Brother, he said you should raise the price?"
A trace of worry suddenly appeared on Di Cun's face. Once Sister Li's Taoist temple officially opened for business, his dealership would be over. People would all go to your official Taoist temple to buy talismans. After all, you are the real dealer. Who would come to me to buy talismans?
On the other side, Li Shu carried the purchased items and returned to the Taoist temple after the sun rose over the mountain.
"Little Brother, you bought everything he wanted!"
Qing He continued, "I appeared in that ancient street, probably to go up the mountain to purchase supplies for the Taoist temple."
But then he thought, since he hadn't even shaken hands with me yet, there must be some minor issues, so he replied: [Bad, you know.]
I paused, then suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, Junior Brother, have you taken a look at my talisman? It seems to be of good quality. And I heard from these people that my talismans are not very effective."
[He will be unfairly treated in terms of salary, and there may even be no dividends at the end of the year. However, if he is willing, or if he still wants to sell talismans in the ancient street, it is up to him.]
Dicun looked at the specific location displayed under the positioning, and his pupils contracted. That was the newly developed area. The prices here were so cheap that it was shocking to even think about it.
[It's bad, Sister Li, you know it.]
Di Cun's mouth kept curling up as he asked, "Sister Li, what's the name of your Taoist temple?"
Qing He: [If he goes, he must not tell Qin Can. I am in charge of the construction of the Taoist temple now.]
