"Ah? Matchmaker Zhang, you're already in your forties or fifties, and you're still looking for a marriage partner. Aren't you ashamed?"
"You're not a matchmaker yourself. There are so many widowers in this town, is there anyone who knows your background?"
Matchmaker Zhang snorted coldly, without any shame, and puffed out her belly, acting righteously.
"They say doctors don't heal themselves, so how can I, a matchmaker, find one for myself? Anyway, Mr. Zhou swore solemnly while playing mahjong that the talismans in this incense shop are very effective. So I'll buy one and try it out. I'm old now, and I need to find a companion."
Ji Yu suppressed the smile on his face, asked for the other party's birth date and drew a marriage talisman on the spot.
The others bought regular amulets, and after they left, the store became deserted again.
Ji Yu sat down on the ground and began to pack the 200 air-conditioning talismans that he had drawn while staying up all night.
Last night, the two hundred air-conditioning talismans were sold out in seconds. Looking at the income of nearly 40,000 yuan, plus the income from the live broadcast yesterday, I made a full profit of more than 300,000 yuan.
It is no exaggeration to say that this ability to make money is "terrifying".
Ji Yu believed that he could pay off the five million debt soon.
After packing, someone from the courier station that I contacted in the morning also showed up.
"Hey, the address here is in this town. Boss, do you want to deliver it yourself or use courier?"
Before Ji Yu could speak, the courier quickly said, "It's not far. Why don't you deliver it yourself, boss? They're a wealthy family. Who knows, they might come and take care of your store more often in the future."
"Besides, the shipping fee is also lower if you don't have a courier. It's just a short distance away, and you can get some exercise by delivering it yourself. If you send it by courier, it might only cost a few yuan."
It seems like a big loss.
Although it’s only a few dollars, you can buy a sausage.
Ji Yu frowned slightly, nodded, and took the express delivery with the address of Gushu Town.
She delivered it personally, and bought a sausage on her way back, so she still made a profit.
"No. 368 West Lane?"
When Ji Yu stood in front of the ancient gate and looked at the huge words "Chen House" on the plaque, she suddenly understood why the courier was so reluctant to deliver it.
——"There's a century-old prestigious family in this town, the Shen family. The old man is a very kind person, but unfortunately his little grandson is a jinx. Anyone who crosses him will be in trouble. Moreover, the young master has recently returned to live in the old house."
"Unlucky star?"
"It's so weird, it feels like everyone in town is avoiding this place."
As we walked along, the closer we got to the Chen residence, the fewer people there were. Until now, there was no one in sight.
The location of this Shen house is the best in feng shui in the whole town, but it couldn't suppress the power of the jinx.
Ji Yu knocked on the door of the Shen residence with some curiosity.
"Here I come."
A slightly old voice came from behind the door. When the door opened, it was an old man in a Zhongshan suit.
"Who are you?"
“Oh, I’m here to deliver something, the recipient’s name is Shen Tianchen.”
The old man took the package and confirmed the information on it. It was indeed the package from the Chen family. After taking the things, the other party immediately waved as if changing his face.
"Go, go, go, little girl, hurry up and leave here. It's not good to stay here for too long."
Ji Yu knew that the other party meant well and was just giving him an extra reminder.
"Grandpa, the lucky charm on your wrist won't keep you here for long. You're old, and if your luck gets the better of you, you might die early. Here, a lucky charm costs four hundred yuan and is good for one month."
The old man never expected that someone would actually do business with him, and that was selling talismans.
"No, no, the Shen family knows many famous masters and Taoist priests, and they have used the good luck charm a long time ago."
It's totally useless, only the lucky beads can barely resist it.
"Okay."
Ji Yu was not the kind of person who would force things, so he took the talisman and turned to look for the vendor selling grilled sausages.
"strangeness."
The old man shook his head and found Shen Tianchen with the express delivery.
"Young Master, here is your package."
Shen Tianchen, who was practicing drawing talismans hard, distracted himself and thought about what he had bought in the past few days.
It seems that except for the two talismans I snatched last night, everything else is gone.
Putting down the cinnabar pen, Shen Tianchen took the package from the housekeeper's hand, opened it, and saw two talismans lying inside. He couldn't help but rubbed his eyes hard, wondering if he had seen it wrong.
"Is there a ghost?"
You finished the painting in one night and sent it over?
This is like riding a rocket.
"Grandpa Butler, was this delivered by the courier?"
"It's a little girl, not from the express station."
Shen Tianchen looked at the shipping address carefully. Wow, it was right in Gushu Town.
"What a coincidence."
He grinned with a hint of ill intention. If the talisman was useless, it would save him the travel expenses to come to the door.
"Uncle, uncle!"
Shen Tianchen immediately went to find his good uncle with two air conditioning talismans.
My good uncle was sitting by the pond, listening to little tunes, playing with birds and feeding fish, just like an old man.
Shen Tianchen called out several times, but the other party did not respond.
"oops."
He pulled the Bluetooth headset out of his uncle's ear and put it to his ear to listen. The extremely explosive heavy metal music formed a sharp contrast with the sad little song playing outside. He couldn't help but be speechless.
"Uncle, you wanted to try the talisman, didn't you? It's already arrived. Let me tell you, the anchor last night was from town. Let's try to see if the air conditioning talisman works right away."
The man in the black Tang suit snatched the Bluetooth headset back, yawned lazily, and pointed at the air conditioning talisman in the other man's hand and said, "Don't you feel that it's quite cool now? You have a sweaty physique, but you didn't seem to be scorching hot after running all the way here. Let me see the talisman."
The yellow talisman was held between the man's slender fingers. A slight coolness spread from the talisman to his fingertips and then to his entire body, sweeping away the summer heat.
"The words on this symbol seem..."
"Is this a word? Isn't this a painting?"
The man was speechless for a moment, looked at his silly nephew, and decided to call his sister later to take him away.
After driving his nephew away, the man went to the study and opened a box on the bookshelf. Inside lay a piece of animal bone engraved with words. When he carefully compared the words on the air conditioner symbol, they were clearly the same.
Shen Baizhou accidentally obtained this animal bone from tomb robbers five years ago. The text on it is untraceable. In the past five years, Shen Baizhou has asked countless ancient Chinese characters experts to study it, but he can only decipher 20% of its meaning.
"Fortune teller...anchor?"
Shen Baizhou sat in the armchair, pondered for a long time, took out his cell phone and made a call.
"Yuya belongs to your company, right? Can you help me find someone? Yes, that fortune-teller who's been very popular in the supernatural section lately."
"What? Treat me to dinner? Sorry, we're in the countryside and the signal is bad."
