Chapter 320 Winter Clothes Festival
"No, no need." The truck driver waved his hands. "I'm buying it for my grandma. Master Xia, I'm already very grateful that you can help me solve this problem. I'm going to buy her a new phone. She used to use an old phone, and I didn't think of this. I thought she wouldn't be able to use a smart phone. Now that I think about it, grandma knows how to read. As long as I take the time to teach her and she's willing to learn, she'll definitely be able to learn it."
Since his grandson wanted to be filial, Xia Wange did not force him to do so. He just reminded him, "Remember to turn off all the payment functions that can be turned off. Don't bind the card. Then, set up a youth mode."
"Ah?" The truck driver was stunned. "I know the one in front, but this youth mode..."
"Looking at your grandmother's face, I'm afraid she'll get addicted and won't sleep well." Xia Wange said, "Anyway, just keep an eye on her and don't let her play with her phone all day long."
The truck driver nodded awkwardly, "Okay..."
Although it hasn't happened yet, he believes Master Xia's words very much. When he thinks about how he will have to urge his grandmother to go to bed early and not stay up late, and to go out more often and not play with her phone all day long, he finds this scene very strange.
But think about it, if she learns how to use a cell phone, she will see more things and spend more time, so she won't always sit at the door in a daze, thinking about random things.
After hearing this, Zhang Song also said that he would go back and see if his grandmother's phone was usable. However, his grandmother preferred to play mahjong and did not like to watch videos. She would go out to play mahjong after dinner every time, and she would need his grandfather to call her home for dinner at night.
Lu Qiu asked everyone to stay in the old house for dinner. After dinner, Butler Zhao said that Brother Lu had returned to Beijing, but he was busy for the next two days and would not be back until the day after tomorrow at the earliest.
After looking at the time, Lu Qiu hurriedly urged Xia Wange to go to bed. After all, it would be the Cold Clothes Festival after twelve o'clock, and Xia Wange would have to start working at eleven o'clock at the latest. According to usual practice, she would have to stay up all night. Even if so many things were cooked in succession, it would take a very long time. Poor rest would definitely increase the chance of losing consciousness.
Thinking of Xia Wange's state when he was distracted, Lu Qiu was still worried, so he knocked on the door and strongly requested that he sleep in the living room of his room until the Cold Clothes Festival was completely over.
Although Xia Wange repeatedly assured her that she had survived the previous incident and even if she lost consciousness it would not last more than five seconds, Lu Qiu was still worried and said that she was not familiar with the old house. He was worried that she would jump out of the window to look for someone. After all, the second floor was not high, and even if she lost consciousness for three or four seconds it would be enough for her to jump.
This reason was so well-founded that Xia Wange couldn't refute it at all. This was really something she could do, so she could only go to bed obediently and let Lu Qiu sleep on the sofa in the small living room of the suite.
Lying on the sofa, Lu Qiu decided to remove the sofa in two days, or move it directly into the bedroom.
Half an hour before the Cold Clothes Festival, Xia Wange and Lu Qiu had already prepared everything and were standing in an open space not far from the old house. Behind them were paper-made courtyards, small villas, cars and other things, and in front of them was a large and complicated talisman that Xia Wange had spent half an hour drawing on the ground with cinnabar.
After finishing her preparations, Xia Wange took a stack of papers and walked to the center, then lit it with fire. After taking a few steps back, she muttered something and changed the hand gestures quickly. Finally, she pinched the backs of her hands horizontally, and it was as if a small tornado was generated in the middle of the talisman, spinning upwards, rolling the paper and sparks into the air, and slowly fell down after a long time.
"If it weren't for that Bai Laodeng, I wouldn't have used such a skill that consumed so much energy." Xia Wange took off the completely dull jade bracelet on her hand and placed it on Lu Qiu's hand, "We don't have much jade left now."
"Am I not here?" Lu Qiu put the jade away, "Take your time."
"Well, wait." Xia Wange said, "I have already sent a notice to the ghosts who placed orders. When the time comes, they can just gather together to pick them up. In fact, it is more convenient to deliver the goods to the door. At that time, we can also promote it and lay the foundation for Qingming Festival. But it doesn't matter. We have already received a lot of orders for Qingming Festival. There will be many repeat customers after this."
Listening to Xia Wange's description, Lu Qiu pondered for a moment and said, "Isn't there a way to place an order on your own? Ghosts place orders by themselves, the paper-making shop takes the order and arranges the goods, and then sends a fixed pickup address. When it's time to pick up the goods, you can pick them up yourself with the number. You just need to burn them at a fixed location on the delivery date, right?"
"Why do I feel like this model is familiar..." Xia Wange looked at Lu Qiu in silence for a moment, "What do you want to monopolize? Do you want to build a business empire in the underworld?"
Lu Qiu blinked.
Xia Wange followed Lu Qiu's words and said, "Then what I do is just ordinary work that does not require any technical skills? Then how can I ask them for jade?"
"You can monopolize the front and back ends, and you can control the entire process line. You can also place orders with jade..."
Xia Wange thought for a moment, "But there are no online merchants in the underworld, and I can't build an electronic platform. If I want to accomplish this, I need to use talismans and a lot of energy to support it..."
"What about using mine?" Lu Qiu said.
"Use yours." Xia Wange touched his chin. "Then you should receive a lot of Yin De very quickly, and then skip the legs directly, until your whole body is numb. If you hold on for a few more days, I will see you building your business empire in the underworld. By then, your soul will be able to find time to chat with me in your busy schedule."
Lu Qiu: “…”
"Don't think about it. What I'm doing now is already opportunistic, and you actually want to find a way out." Xia Wange said, "If I had a lot of energy, why would I do this? Wouldn't it be better for me to lie on the bed and tell you about my past achievements at this hour?"
Lu Qiu: “…”
The first half of the last sentence is acceptable, but the second half is unnecessary. He is afraid that he will not be able to hold on and fall asleep, which will cause family conflicts.
"Here I come." Xia Wange suddenly stood up and said.
Then, Lu Qiu watched Xia Wange busying himself. After thinking for a while, he took out the Yin Stone and held it in his hand. In just a moment of distraction, the construction site was full of people, no, full of ghosts who came to pick up the goods.
"The Siheyuan is what you wanted. It's very difficult to make. The paper-making boss didn't want to make it. But the jade you provided, old lady, is so good. I pestered the boss every day in his shop, and he finally made it. How is it? Realistic, right? Tsk, it's scaled down. He used to make sand tables of luxury houses. Yes, his craftsmanship is great. I'll burn it for you now, and you can go back and modify the old house immediately."
"Ah? You want to expand the courtyard outside? Are you going to build a palace? Ah? Do you still have jade as good as last time? Oh, wait a minute, I'll go see what the Forbidden City is like, and then I'll ask him to build a circle for you. Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
