Chapter 41 The Taoist Priest
Chapter 41 The Taoist Priest
After the business was on the right track, Ye Xu put his idea on the Encounter Coupon.With six lottery tickets in hand, there are three more employees waiting to be recruited in the current plane. Of course, they must be recruited quickly.
The reason why I was not in a hurry to use the Encounter coupons before was because I was worried that I would not be able to attract UR cards to join.So Ye Xu thought about it, let's develop insignificantly first, and when he has a reputation, the follow-up will be easier.
After a month of operation, the four stores are all well-known.But the one that stands out the most is definitely Jiang Yuexuan's family.
The other three are only well-known in fixed groups, Jiang Yuexuan's is different.This has nothing to do with her personal ability, but her business strategy is too flattering.
As soon as this person came up, he called out the name of the world's number one restaurant, claiming that he had the best wine and delicacies in the world.With such an arrogant tone, it naturally quickly attracted the attention of many people. Now that a month has passed, even Ye Xu's side has people talking about this newly opened No. [-] restaurant, which shows how famous it is.
Ye Xu paid a little attention to everyone's business situation, and found that Han Yingshen's side can be summed up as the style of the cafeteria of the research institute, the style of the high-end beauty salon on the Mobei side, and the style of farming and leisure here.
But Sister Xuan's side is different, it's the scene where the big heroine slaps her face.The ups and downs of the plot and the continuous disputes have become Xiaohan's recent popular content, providing him with a steady stream of new gossip.
Lively is very lively, but Ye Xu chooses to refuse.It's not suitable for him to be so exciting, he should just be a storyteller in the small village honestly.
"However, I think the UR card should be near Sister Xuan." Ye Xu analyzed, "It's easy to attract big shots from her side."
Han Yingshen nodded in agreement. Based on his experience at the beginning, he felt that there must be UR cards distributed around the stores selected by the system.At present, although these four stores are all selected by themselves, they are actually selected from the options provided by the system.
"Kyoto and the most affluent cities in the south of the Yangtze River have a special status, and they tend to produce powerful people." It was rare for Mo Bei not to quarrel with Ye Xu.
Ye Xu then said: "Then I'll try using an Encounter Coupon. If the location is on your side, let the system point the arrow to where you are."
After speaking, Ye Xu took out the Encounter Coupon and clicked to use it.In the next second, a familiar arrow appeared in front of his eyes.
Even though he knew that the target pointed by the arrow was definitely not nearby, Ye Xu subconsciously looked along.As a result, I just saw a white-robed woman sitting quietly on a bench in the corner listening to a story.
The reason why he noticed her at the first sight, rather than other people around her, was not only because of her extraordinarily beautiful appearance and extraordinary temperament, but also because of the gleaming golden down arrow on her head.Obviously, the system is using this method to tell Ye Xu that the target you are looking for is this sister.
Ye Xu: Ah, it's so close!coincidence!
They didn't hear Ye Xu's words, and the other three asked curiously: "The store manager/Xiaoxu/Stupid Dragon, why don't you speak?"
Ye Xu didn't care about talking to them, so he casually replied, "People are near me, I'll strike up a conversation first", and then closed the chat window.
At this time, the robot in the shop was telling the story of the Honghuang series. Ye Xu's Honghuang series had already been finished, so the robot started from the beginning, and now it happened to talk about the party of Hongjun's becoming a saint.Since the existence of Daozu Hongjun is too important to be deleted, the scene about Hongjun has been retained, but the subsequent plots related to the three religions have not been brought out.
Ye Xu heard that the robot opened its mouth, and Daozu closed its mouth to become a saint, and then glanced at the white Taoist robe on the young lady, feeling dizzy.
No, why would telling a fantasy story attract orthodox Taoists?Isn't this arranging other people's ancestors in front of their disciples and grandchildren?
Ye Xu vaguely remembered that Hongjun was a fictional character in Fengshen Yanyi, but many people mistakenly believed that Taoism really had such a god.Taoism hates Hongjun very much, especially when someone asks them why they don't have Hongjun's idol recognized as worship.
In short, Hongjun, a fictional character, does not have a good impression on the Taoist side.This made Ye Xu feel even more guilty. Even if it was the first time for Hongjun to appear in the current plane, just because he was called "Tao Patriarch" was enough to arouse a wave of Taoist hatred.
Ah, now the head is big, the head is very big, I knew I would not talk about the flood.
Ye Xu bit the bullet and walked over, praying in his heart that Miss Kundao could talk better and not get angry.But looking at her cold temperament, she doesn't look like she has a good temper. Just standing next to her can feel great pressure.
Last time, the UR I got with the Encounter Coupon was my precious daughter, but in fact it was the system that communicated with Zhen Zhen, and Ye Xu didn't play at all.So Ye Xu had absolutely no experience in dealing with wild URs, and he was very anxious at the moment. He wanted to ask Sister Xuan how to deal with it, but he felt that he could not rely on Sister Xuan all the time, and he had to use his brain.
Bai Yikundao saw the shopkeeper standing around him with tangled expressions on his face, neither opened his mouth nor left, and looked over suspiciously: "What's the matter?"
When Ye Xu heard her voice, which was colder than her temperament, she became more nervous and stammered: "Dao, the Taoist priest also come to listen to the book?" After asking, he felt that he had asked nonsense.
Fortunately, Miss Kun Dao's temper is much better than she looks. She nodded slightly and praised: "The story is very interesting."
Ye Xu observed for a moment, confirmed that there was no irony in this sentence, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.After realizing that he didn't offend the other party, Ye Xu's emotional intelligence came back, and he personally offered tea as a treat.
People at that time respected Taoist priests and monks very much, and generally they would take the initiative to entertain these two kinds of people when they came to the door.In addition, what Ye Xu offered was free tea, Bai Yikun didn't refuse, he took it generously and thanked him.
It just so happened that today's prehistoric novel period ended, and another person went up to tell the story of the general suppressing bandits. Kun Dao was obviously not very interested in this, so Ye Xu took the opportunity to chat with her.
Ye Xu was a little curious about the mechanism of this encounter coupon. After all, the system screened out people who met the requirements of the UR card, and forced them into the waiting list without even asking.Or is it actually saying hello to someone in advance, and the other party knows the existence of the plane store.
The first Zhenzhen is a special case, and this Kun Dao in front of him is the first encounter card that Ye Xuzheng encountered.He wanted to ask questions, but he didn't know what to say. In case people didn't know, he wouldn't agree to join the job in the future, so he just told the story of the plane store. It was secondary to revealing the existence of the system. The key point was to worry about being regarded as hysteria It happened.
After much deliberation, Ye Xu decided to make a side note.
Taoist priests are different from ordinary people. They know Taoist magic, even if this Taoist magic is to deceive people, they are better than ordinary people.After he revealed the news, he would be regarded as a charlatan at worst. It shouldn't be a big problem. Maybe he really understands magic and will believe his words.
The hateful system does not allow the contract invitation to be issued directly, otherwise, just like Han Yingchen that time, the system panel would appear directly, so there would be so much trouble.
When the story of the wilderness was being told on stage, Zhen Zhen was playing with her friends in the backyard.
She and her friends have already heard the complete story for two rounds, and they are not very interested in Hong Huang for the time being.On the contrary, the bandit suppression mentioned later won the hearts of these children. Everyone ran out cheering, wanting to listen to the great general and the great hero.
Zhen Zhen followed behind, walking unhurriedly, with the posture of a little lady.When I crossed the threshold, I subconsciously glanced at the counter, and was a little surprised to find that my father was not reading a novel there.
After looking around for a while on tiptoe, I finally found my father, who was talking to an aunt I had never seen before.Zhen Zhen hesitated for a moment, but still walked over, and sat quietly beside her father, without hastily opening her mouth to disturb her.
Ye Xu was halfway through the awkward chat, and he almost couldn't hold on anymore, but the topic he wanted to insinuate hadn't been brought up yet.If he didn't know a little about Taoism, the two of them wouldn't be able to talk at all.Now seeing his daughter coming, he breathed a sigh of relief, and instantly thought of how to break the situation.
"Daozhang, this is my daughter, her name is Ye Zhen. Zhenzhen, call Daozhang."
Zhen Zhen pursed her lips into a smile, and shouted in a soft voice: "Hello, Daoist."
Bai Yi Kundao's expression softened obviously, and he performed a Taoist salute, saying: "Blessings are born with immeasurable heavenly deities." Number.
Ye Xu spoke at the right time and introduced himself.They both introduced their father and daughter. To show politeness, Kun Dao must also declare his family name.
Sure enough, the other party took advantage of the situation and said, "The poor Taoist name is Ji Ling."
Discipline, the meaning of rules and norms.Spirit, fairy spirit, supernatural meaning.Dao names are mostly created by themselves, and the spirits in the world are bound by laws. This Taoist leader's ambition is really grand.
Ye Xu was in awe.
"I don't think you have any blood relationship with Ling Ai." Daoist Ji Ling rarely took the initiative to start the topic. She looked at Zhen Zhen, her eyes seemed to be able to see through a person's past and present lives.
Zhen Zhen was a little scared and hid behind her father.
Ye Xu didn't deny it, and nodded generously: "Zhenzhen is my adopted daughter. Her parents died early and she was treated harshly by her uncle and aunt, so I adopted her."
The aunts around listened for a while with their ears upright, and suddenly they were overjoyed when they heard such breaking news.
I thought shopkeeper Ye had been married before, and after marrying, it would be filling the house, and he would have to salute and kowtow to the tablet of the original spouse, and the family who cherished his daughter was a little unhappy.Now when they heard that there was no original match and the daughter was adopted, the aunts came up with the idea of helping matchmaking again.
In the past month, Ye Xuming had secretly rejected the matchmaker's offers many times, but now he sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and couldn't help but get a headache.He forgot that there were still many people around, so he should invite the Taoist priest to the backyard to talk about it.
Ji Ling also noticed something strange nearby, and after a little thought, he understood.She took the initiative to get up and suggested going to a place with few people to talk in detail.
The two should have nothing to talk about, but Ji Ling wanted to talk about Zhen Zhen.She sees that Zhenzhen has a good foundation, and she can practice Taoism as she likes. She is happy to see Lie Xin, and wants to try to see if she can accept disciples.
Ye Xu was stunned, he didn't expect things to develop like this.
Ye Xu has no opinion on apprenticeship, it mainly depends on whether Zhenzhen wants to learn or not.But the problem is that they can't stay in the current plane for long. If they want to be apprentices, they must either learn for a few months, or Ji Ling will go with them.
"I don't want to use this to coerce you to leave with us, but the matter still needs to be explained in advance." Ye Xu said sincerely, "If the Taoist priest really wants to accept disciples, I'm afraid you have to be prepared. At most ten months, I will Take Zhenzhen out of here. If you want to teach for a long time, you have to go with us."
Ye Xu didn't bother to use his daughter to trap people, so he explained the matter clearly.Otherwise, he could have agreed first, waited for the master and apprentice to cultivate a relationship, and then mentioned the matter of hiring a full-time employee. Naturally, the success rate was extremely high.
"Pindao already knows what you want to say." Ji Ling was very calm.
Ye Xu was surprised: "You mean?"
"A few months ago, when I was meditating and practicing, I occasionally made friends with a spiritual consciousness, and negotiated the matter of employment."
After Ji Ling's narration, Ye Xu understood. The UR-level candidate staff are all interviewed by the system, but the system cannot guarantee that they will be hired, nor can they guarantee when they will be hired.
In short, it is to provide an opportunity to see if you can be lucky enough to meet the store manager and come to the current plane in your lifetime, or the store manager will directly draw you in the card pool.There are actually hundreds of store managers under the name of the system, but they are all freelance store managers, and most of them don't need to hire shop assistants, so the only boss who can wait for these cards in a short period of time is Ye Xu.
Ye Xu didn't expect that he was so important. Does that mean that after he finds someone with the Encounter Coupon, he can directly hire him without worrying about being rejected?
After floating for a while, Ye Xu woke up again.What a beautiful thing to think about, the clerk is also picky, if the store manager is not suitable, there are still some people who don't want to wrong him, so he should not be too profligate.
Ye Xu settled down, withdrew his thoughts, and asked Ji Ling for confirmation: "So you are willing to join our shop?"
Ji Ling nodded: "You can sign the contract at any time."
She didn't pay much attention to this matter at first, but she was more or less looking at Zhen Zhen's face.Although Zhen Zhen has not nodded her head to accept her apprenticeship, she is not going to regret it.
"Does Zhenzhen want to practice with the Taoist priest?" Ye Xu turned to ask the little girl.
Zhen Zhen didn't know what cultivation was, she shook her head blankly: "Father, I just want to learn how to play the piano."
This is awkward.
Ji Ling was completely unaffected, and said calmly: "Poverty is a disciple of the Zhengyi sect, and Zhengyi disciples need to acquire a lot of knowledge, including piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, wine, sword tea, medical skills, etc. If you don't want to start practicing for the time being , I can also just act as your Mr. Qin Yi."
Ye Xu did seem to have heard that Taoist priests need to learn many things, including playing the piano, but he is not sure.Now that he has been personally acknowledged by the Lord, he is relieved.
Before, I wanted to find a teacher of classical musical instruments for Zhen Zhen, but I was surrounded by ordinary villagers, so no one knew about it.Ye Xu put his mind on the UR card, thinking of meeting someone who can play the piano, but it's not until now that he started to use the encounter coupon.
Unexpectedly, it is really possible to hire talented people who learn these things as soon as they come up.Although the opponent's occupation is a little bit off, the range of encounter coupons is too wide, even Taoist priests.
"Then it's settled." Ye Xu felt a lot more at ease by solving two things in one go, "Zhen Zhen should not be afraid of hardship or tiredness if she wants to learn to play the piano, and discuss with her husband when and how long she will learn every day. Don't be lazy."
Having said that, Ye Xu is actually not worried that the little girl will give up halfway.She used to be able to concentrate on practicing the piano for so many years, and it's the same for changing instruments.
Zhen Zhen nodded seriously: "Don't worry, Dad."
After the matter was discussed, she performed the apprenticeship ceremony under the elder's gesture.
If you only learn to play the piano, you don't need to pay too much attention to your teacher.Ye Xu thought that at least in the ancient background, one had to toast a cup of tea when appreciating a teacher, and in the future he would also call him Mr., instead of calling him teacher like modern people, and he had to respect Ji Ling's habits of the times.
After drinking apprenticeship tea, it is considered as an official apprenticeship.Zhenzhen is very interested in learning the piano, and she doesn't know how to listen to stories, so she boldly begged her husband to start teaching her now.
Ji Lingdao: "It's still early today, so it's a good time to start learning the piano. But you have to understand the knowledge of the piano first, instead of learning how to play the piano right away."
Another point is that you must have a piano to learn the piano. Ji Ling looked at Ye Xu and asked if he had prepared a suitable guqin.Ye Xu himself doesn't know how to pick a piano, so he is not in a hurry to buy it for his daughter. It is not too late to go to the system mall to choose it now, and he can ask Ji Ling to help with it.
So the three of them got together to watch for a long time, and the system also thoughtfully provided bomb testing services.In the end, Ji Ling picked out two violins, one for Zhen Zhen and one for herself.
Ji Ling doesn't have any credits yet to buy the Guqin, so he can only advance salary to Ye Xu.
Fortunately, a violin is not expensive, even if it is a famous violin, it is something that can be condensed casually for the system, and it is not worth money at all.Ye Xu glanced at the price, and decided to give it to Ji Ling as a teacher apprentice gift.
Ji Ling didn't want to accept it at first, but it wasn't until Ye Xu explained that the more than 100 points can be provided to any guest who comes to have a meal, and then realized that the peerless famous piano is really worthless in the system.This kind of thing that can't bring energy benefits to the system at all is completely tasteless in its view.
Ye Xu didn't think so, if he changed to the other three restaurants, and someone in the restaurant played the melodious piano, it would still have a considerable effect on soothing the mood of the customers.The threshold of those three stores is high, and the customers who come and go generally understand music, and when they hear happy or peaceful music, they can add a little more points to their account when they eat.
It's a pity that it was Ye Xu who got this character, and he received ordinary people who didn't understand art at all, so he was doomed to waste everything.
Well, I can take my daughter to other shops later, it's boring to stay in one place all the time.The candy store is already on the right track, and nothing will happen if no one is watching. If something happens, it will be a big deal to close the store and leave.
This is how Zhenzhen started her daily life of learning the piano, playing in the morning and learning to play the piano in the afternoon.
The friends are very interested in this and often follow the past to watch.But learning the piano is a relatively boring thing. After watching it for a few days, they basically couldn't sit still. They only came over occasionally to have a look, and most of the time they still listened to stories outside.
After getting along for a month, Ye Xu already has a certain understanding of the dynasty of the current plane.He also had a rough judgment on which stories could be told and which stories could not be told, so he picked up Journey to the West again, made some deletions and edits, and handed it to the robot, and began to tell which story was finished.
Journey to the West is a classic suitable for all ages, and it just happens to be the second main program after the prehistoric era.In addition, Ye Xu is also planning to find some collections of short stories. The store can't just talk about long stories forever, because it's tempting to catch people's hearts, so you have to come up with some short stories as appropriate.
Inexplicably, the candy store has become a storytelling shop, and selling sugar has become a supplement.
The weather is getting colder and people are gradually changing into winter clothes.As an ordinary small tea shop, of course Ye Xu can't use heating here, which doesn't make sense. Fortunately, ordinary people are used to anti-freeze, so they don't think it's a problem.
As the New Year approaches, the business of expensive candies in the store is getting better.As the twelfth lunar month enters the New Year's Eve, there are a lot of visits to relatives and friends. In order to treat guests decently, the sales of fruit candies have increased sharply.
They are also priced at ten pennies and one tael. Of course, everyone prefers to buy fruit candies.Peanut candies and sesame candies are more common, but fruit candies are rare, and fruits are rare in winter, so it’s good to take them out.
What's more, there is autumn pear candy in the fruit candy, and pear juice is added in it.The climate is dry in autumn and winter, and it is easy to catch a cold and get sick. Pear juice clears the lungs, moisturizes dryness, reduces phlegm and relieves cough. It is suitable to drink at this time.
Some children in the family have a cough, and they will bite their teeth and buy a few autumn pear candies.This bit of candy is always cheaper than grabbing medicine. A bowl of medicinal soup probably costs more than ten cents. Even if the medicinal soup is more effective, poor people think it is more cost-effective to buy sugar.
The candy can be eaten slowly with your mouth in your mouth. Anyway, you have to buy candy at the end of the New Year's Eve. Which one should you buy?The children are also happy, the autumn pear candy is sweet and has no bitter taste, and one can be carefully contained for a long time.For a while, many children were looking forward to getting sick and coughing, but everyone was sensible, and no one deliberately caught a cold and got sick because of this.
However, Ye Xu said before that the stock of fruit candies is limited, so he estimated that the two types of fruit candies were sold out.This made everyone very regretful, annoyed that they didn't come to buy it before, and now they can only buy sesame candy and peanut candy.
I didn't think so when there was a lot of stock, but now that the stock is sold out, everyone thinks fruit candy is better.The people who bought it were secretly proud of themselves, and decided to keep the candies away, and only take them out when they entertain relatives on the first day of the new year.
During the New Year's Eve, everyone has more free time. Even if they have to prepare for the New Year, they are not as busy as they used to be.Many people like to go out and wander around when they are free. Ye Xu's storytelling shop has become a favorite of everyone for a while, and those who buy new year's goods also like to take the opportunity to come and listen for a while.There are more people in the shop, so it is not so cold.
But Ye Xu himself is going to celebrate the new year, and this is the first time he has celebrated the new year since he bound the system.The last severe winter was in the mainland of Transit, but it was only a new year there, and Ye Xu couldn't figure out what month it was there, and it might not be a serious winter.
Ye Xu stayed in the modern plane for a few months and left early.It was close to December when I left, but because the summer was extended there, the weather was early autumn instead of winter. Even though the New Year's Eve was actually approaching, the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year was not too strong.
Since it was the first time for everyone to celebrate the New Year together, several people discussed to get together and have a good time.They finally decided to meet at Hanyingshen's academy package restaurant, because it happened to be between Mobei's capital and sister Xuan's Jiangnan, and it was more convenient for the two sides to leave at this time.
As for Ye Xu, he was far away from everyone, so he could just use Xiaoyu's skills to teleport there.Looking back, the candy shop will not be back here in a short time, he plans to take Zhenzhen to the capital and Jiangnan to see them, and he can hide from the matchmaker by the way.
During the New Year's Eve, the matchmaker is free enough to run to him three or five times a day, trying to take advantage of the festive New Year to arrange a marriage for him, which is simply frustrating.
