Chapter 53: Finding a Shop
"Just this one shelf and a couple dozen candied haws, and you call it an industry? That's pretty shabby."
"Master, how much is a candied haws?"
As soon as Lao Mi finished complaining, he was stopped by a young couple.
Instinctively, he repeated what Feng Zhibai had said: "Five yuan a string, ten yuan for two strings."
"Take two strings, scan the code, thank you."
"Okay, wait a minute."
Pulling out his phone, Lao Mi put on a typical businessman's smile and asked, "WeChat or Payoneer?"
"Micro fork."
"Okay, ten dollars."
"call out--"
"Weicha collects ten yuan."
"Master, sweep it over."
"Okay, got it. Thank you. Take care."
After seeing off the two guests with a smile, Old Mitou finally realized what he had just done.
Putting away his smile, he looked at Feng Zhibai with resentment. Feng Zhibai bit his candied haws and gave him a matter-of-fact expression: "Look, isn't this an industry?"
Not wanting to talk to her any more, Old Mitou walked forward carrying the shelf on his back.
Feng Zhibai followed behind him, his eyes always observing the surrounding shops.
All the shops are lined up in a row, and their feng shui is mixed. Some are very good, some are very bad, and some are simply messy and have average business.
Most of the geographical locations are facing the sun or facing the sun.
Facing the sun means that this shop faces the sunny side.
And facing Yang means that two shops are facing each other, and Yang energy enters both.
The sun is not in a fixed direction; the side with sunlight is called the sunny side.
Just like the transformation of yin and yang.
Yin can turn into Yang, and Yang can turn into Yin.
It’s the same principle as the strong becoming stronger, but the strong becoming even stronger.
Let’s take the simplest example.
Computer hard drive and computer.
A computer needs a hard drive to run.
So the computer hard drive is yang and the computer is yin.
A computer is required to run the software.
Then the computer is Yang and the software is Yin.
Therefore, yin and yang can be transformed and are uncertain.
Now, every shop that Lao Mi Tou and Feng Zhibai pass by has an unsuitable feng shui structure in terms of location and orientation.
After stopping and walking, the two people were already far away from the bustling city.
All the candied haws on Lao Mi’s back were sold out.
By the time they reached the corner of the alley in the downtown area, Feng Zhibai had finished the last string of candied haws.
"There's no commercial street in front, and this location is already very remote."
Carrying the candied haws rack on his back, Lao Mi wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Feng Zhibai swallowed the last candied haws, broke the stick in half and threw it into the trash can beside him.
Look up and look around.
This place has gradually become a residential building.
There are high-rise buildings all around, and the yang energy gathers and presses down from the top, which is not suitable for doing business with the dead.
"Turn back."
"Return the same way?"
"Um."
Without saying anything else, the two of them turned back again.
Without the candied haws to block Feng Zhibai's way, she looked more carefully when she returned the same way.
When she reached the downtown area, she did not wander around, but walked one or two kilometers west.
In the end, he was so tired that Lao Mi rented an electric car and continued to move forward with Feng Zhibai.
After riding for almost half an hour, the two finally stopped by the roadside.
Looking back at her, Feng Zhibai was gesturing left and right with the compass, but no one knew what he was gesturing at.
"Where is further ahead?"
Looking towards the west, she pointed at the small building in the front and asked.
"Tingge Xiyuan is a very old community. It's been demolished and resettled for decades."
"Go and take a look."
Old Mitou parked the car on the side of the road, took out the key, and asked uncertainly, "Are you sure you want to look here?"
"Well, what's wrong? It's quite nice here. The Feng Shui energy around here is very stable, not messy or chaotic. It's a rare good place."
Old Mitou couldn't sense the Feng Shui aura. He swayed left and right before saying to her, "Walk one or two kilometers west of here and you'll reach the suburbs. There aren't any tall buildings, just bungalows like you'd find in the countryside. Are you sure you want to open a shop here?"
The two of them walked one in front and one behind for nearly ten minutes before they arrived at the bottom of Tingge Xiyuan community.
Compared to the bustling downtown area, it is really much quieter here.
There is a security guard at the gate of the community, and scattered residents are heading towards the community from all directions.
There are shops on both sides of the community roads, but not many are open, and there are trees planted in front of each shop.
No wonder the Feng Shui aura is very stable.
There are trees in front of every house, blocking the originally turbulent feng shui.
The wind leaves traces when it passes, and the wild geese leave sounds when they fly by, which also indirectly harmonizes the frequency of the flow of Feng Shui.
"Let's not go forward. Let's look around here to see if there are any shops that can be transferred or resold."
Seeing her high spirits, Old Mitou didn't want to put her down, so he raised his hand and pointed to the right turning: "I remember there seems to be a separate shop selling goods at Tingge Xiyuan in front of the building, with a separate building. Let's go and take a look."
"Alone?"
Walk in the direction he points.
Old Mitou put his hands behind his back and thought for a moment before saying, "A few years ago, a developer built a separate storefront next to it. Initially, no one bought it, so the developer realized there was no profit, so they added floors to the storefront, turning it into the independent building it is today. Because it was cheap, many people bought shops here, but business was slow in previous years, and many shops closed. It's only in the past two years, with shops opening nearby and more people moving in, that business has picked up a bit."
"What about the apartment type?"
Feng Zhibai spread his sleeves wide and became more interested in the shop that Lao Mi Tou mentioned.
"The first floor is a storefront, and the second and third floors are residential. When this apartment was first released, it was incredibly popular. Many people sold their allocated homes in Tingge Xiyuan specifically to buy a storefront here. But later I heard that something went wrong, so it's almost closed down. If we go there now, I guess we'll only see a locked-up little house."
The apartment is nice.
The first floor is a storefront, and the second and third floors are residences.
If I really open a business in the future and get busy all day long, this type of apartment will be perfect for me to move into at any time.
"Something happened. What happened?"
Feng Zhibai continued to ask questions.
Old Mitou sighed several times before replying, "I can't quite remember, it seemed like a fight or a murder of passion, but someone died anyway."
As they were talking, the two of them arrived at the shopping area that Lao Mitou mentioned.
but!
It wasn't as deserted and lonely as I had imagined!
Instead, it is eye-opening!
The entire shop is divided into four directions.
There are independent shops in the east, south, west and north, and each house is not adjacent to each other. There are small alleys in the middle that separate each house.
Looking around, the roads and paths are connected, it is completely an independent small town!
There are all kinds of shops in front of the square gate, with different light signs placed in front of the shops, and music playing from the speakers in front of the shops.
From time to time, people walked back and forth, talking and joking.
In the open space, groups of aunts were dancing square dance.
There were a few young people and a group of old men, women and children sitting on the roadside.
Although it is not as lively as the city center, it is definitely not bad.
"Is this what you call bleak?"
Pointing at the four gai, Feng Zhibai turned around and looked at Lao Mi Tou.
Old Mitou was picking his feet in embarrassment.
He remembered it right!
It used to be quite bleak here.
Why is it different now?
"I think I remember correctly. After the incident, almost all the houses in this area were closed. No one lived there, and the houses couldn't be sold. This incident was even reported in the news a few years ago."
Lao Mitou took out his phone and found some old news: "Look, isn't it here?"
He handed the old web page to Feng Zhibai.
Feng Zhibai took a quick look and said helplessly, "It's similar, but it's obviously not the same place."
With her hands in her pockets, she walked into the town.
Old Mitou put his phone away and looked at the picture again and again: "It doesn't look very similar, it's right here! But the store where the vicious incident happened that year was not here."
Following Feng Zhibai, he put his phone away.
After walking around for a while, the two found a nearby place to sit down.
The commercial area here is completely separated from the residential area in front.
Although they are only two streets apart, it is obvious that they lead different lives.
There were only residents walking around in Tingge West Garden, but the lights were brightly lit here.
The shop was open for business and there were customers sitting inside. Some said business was bad, but there were still some people, which meant it wasn't full either.
On the intersecting streets, there are supermarkets, business halls, convenience stores, fruit stores, small noodle shops, and pharmacies.
It looks very much like the streets in the old China that were dedicated to business.
"How do you say that?"
Seeing Feng Zhibai still looking around, Lao Mitou asked.
Pulling up his wide sleeves, Feng Zhibai smiled and said, "This place is very good, but it's not suitable for opening a shop. We should go to the west side of the street, preferably the corner. I've checked the feng shui here, and it seems to be flowing well. When the time comes, we'll place the wealth position in the shop, facing northwest, so that wealth will come quickly."
After turning on the positioning navigation, Lao Mi Tou realized that he was fifteen kilometers away from Fengluo Garden, which is equivalent to thirty miles.
It takes forty to fifty minutes to ride an electric scooter home.
"Isn't it too far?"
"well enough."
Patting her clothes, she stood up and was about to find someone to ask if there was any shop nearby that sold them, when suddenly a man came towards her and bumped into her.
Feng Zhibai frowned, stepped to the right, and dodged directly.
When the man saw that he didn't bump into her, he turned around and trotted towards Lao Mi Tou!
He was wearing a black hoodie and had his head lowered so his face couldn't be seen clearly.
But there was a murderous aura about him.
Feng Zhibai noticed that something was wrong with him and shouted at Old Mitou, who was still standing there, unaware of anything, "Get out of the way!"
Old Mi raised his head and instinctively dodged backwards!
At the same time, the man yelled, "Ah!"
Immediately afterwards, a bright light flashed out from his hand!
It’s a fruit knife, a brand new and extremely sharp fruit knife!
"ah!"
The people around were frightened and screamed when they saw the man holding a knife.
Those who were not afraid of death took out their mobile phones and started recording videos and taking photos.
A cacophony of voices could be heard from the noisy crowd.
"Murder, murder!"
The man gasped for breath and stabbed the knife in his hand towards Lao Mi's forehead!
Feng Zhibai stretched out his right hand and quickly grabbed Lao Mitou.
Old Mi was so frightened that his face turned pale. The knife almost hit his forehead!
Seeing that his attack missed, the man raised his arm and swung the knife towards Feng Zhibai again!
Feng Zhibai's face turned cold. He stepped back with his left foot, threw Lao Mi Tou out, and stepped out with his right foot, accurately dodging the fruit knife that the man was stabbing at him!
