Flavored candle shop

The incense and candle shop, which has always been clean and has never been visited by anyone, is unusually busy today. Several five or six-year-old children squatted by the threshold, looking in with their big black eyes open, and from time to time they covered their mouths and whispered to their companions. Communication, as if they were excited about discovering some treasure.

It's not that the incense and candle shop suddenly changed its business to a toy store or a candy store, but it's a rare "opening".

It's actually not appropriate to say that it opened the door, because it has no doors to open at the moment, and all the old door panels have disappeared.

The dark and mysterious incense candle shop was suddenly exposed to the sun, and the usual half-covered shop became visible at a glance. The paper figurines on the wall were as exquisite as works of art in the bright light, not gloomy but mysterious, but Pei Ci was on the contrary. I didn't dare to go in... There was no way to go in, the small shop was filled with bamboo poles and wooden boards, and there was not even a place to step down.

Pei Ci was hesitating at the door, and the red medicine brought out a few piles of long incense from the inner room. When he came to the side of the bamboo pole and wooden plank, he flicked his white wrist, and the damp incense under his hand was like a blooming flower. Spread out neatly and evenly, amidst the exclamation of children's admiration, the rich woody aroma swept the entire tail alley domineeringly.

Pei Ci, who was wrapped in the fragrance, let out a long breath of relief, and his increasingly heavy and tired body felt relaxed and energetic for a long time.

"The fragrant fruit made by Hongbo is really extraordinary."

In fact, Hong Yao had seen Pei Ci a long time ago, and deliberately ignored him, which was a bit of a show off. "How to Be a [-]% Good Leader" said that we must use our own ability and personality charm to conquer employees.He is not even a human being, even if he has a charming personality, but he is capable!

When it comes to making incense, he is well-known among ghosts.

After Xiaoxian succeeded in getting praise from the future employees, Hongyao withdrew his hand, pretending to be indifferent: "The quality of this batch of incense is not bad, and it will take some time to dry before the fragrance will come out... Do you want to see the dried incense?" Is it fragrant?"

Appropriate display will make employees feel more recognized. ——by "[-]% Good Leader"

Pei Ci nodded happily, carefully avoiding the bamboo poles and wooden boards where the incense was drying, and followed the red medicine into the room.

Although the incense and candle shop is small, there is something different inside. After passing through a small hall, after turning a corner, he walked through a corridor full of paper lanterns. Through the small flower windows on the blue tiles and white walls, Pei Ci seemed to see it in a daze. The garden is full of red flowers.

After entering the small courtyard, I could see where the safflower was, and it was clearly clusters of red long incense sticks on the ground.

First use a silk thread to tie the bottom of each incense stick in a loose or tight way, and then twist it skillfully, the long incense will unscrew naturally, and a red flower will bloom like this.

And not only is the yard full of incense, but the porch with bamboo curtains is also shaded.The wooden board on which the incense was placed looked familiar, Pei Ci approached and took a closer look, and it was indeed the door board of the incense and candle shop.

Hong Yao coughed twice, and explained: "The Temple of the City God needs a lot of incense, time is tight and the task is heavy. It is an extraordinary time... I don't need to remove the door panels to make incense on weekdays."

Pei Ci also followed him and said, "Don't stick to form and tools, Boss Hong has already achieved great success in making incense."

Listen, listen, how many of his employees can talk!

With a smile, Hong Yao led people towards the almost tanned 'Xianghua', he didn't bring people to see the broken door.

"This incense is ready, smell it?"

The round and straight red long incense is really like a flower between the white and slender fingers of the red medicine. When the fire burns, the refreshing fragrance spreads out faintly. Immediately, like a puppy seeing a fleshy bone, he leaned over with a look of intoxication.

The red medicine is generous, what kind of fragrance have these two little paper boys never used?That's why the two of them sniffing the fragrance and smelling the cheerful jiojio successfully aroused Pei Ci's curiosity: "What kind of fragrance is this?"

Hongyao: "It's a dish from Yuhe Pavilion."

Pei Ci understood, these two little paper boys had never eaten before.

Hongyao raised her eyebrows, and continued with a slightly proud tone: "I tried to combine all the dishes we ate that day into an incense stick, strictly following the order of cold dishes, hot dishes, soup, staple food, desserts, and fruits..."

With the burning of the incense, Pei Ci has already tasted it. The top notes of this incense are squirrel mandarin fish, Wensi tofu, and Buddha jumping over the wall. …fruit platter with ice cream.

It's just...really restored.

"How?" Hong Yao looked at Pei Ci with anticipation in her dark eyes.

—Have you felt his extraordinary ability?

Pei Ci looked eagerly at Shanghongyao, and his language system with rich vocabulary suddenly collapsed for some reason. After he realized it, he had already uttered a dry compliment: "It's very good, very fragrant, very powerful."

Although this answer was simple, it summed up his level of incense making to a high degree. Satisfied with Hongyao, he took a handful of freshly sun-dried incense and stuffed it into Pei Ci's hand, saying in a big way: "The first batch of incense is the best, keep it for later Use it."

Pei Ci squeezed the incense with a complicated expression: "...Thank you."

……

When the two returned to the incense and candle shop, they saw Wu Chen, who was wearing a high-tailored suit, squatting beside the incense drying board, inhaling frantically, swallowing saliva while inhaling, looking very pitiful.

Seeing Hongyao, his eyes with few whites lit up immediately, and he floated in front of Hongyao with a 'shua', and said eagerly: "Boss Hong! The incense you made this time is really amazing! I came with a full stomach I’m so hungry! Give me a few sticks to taste! I want to buy, buy, buy!”

Hong Yao ruthlessly refused: "These are all orders from the Town God's Temple, there are not many. Just wait for the next order."

Wu Chen, who didn't get the taste, was not depressed at all, but even more excited: "City God's Temple? Then these are compensations for our cemetery?!"

The staff of the Town God's Temple have already talked with their cemetery, and the two sides have reached a friendly consensus.

Red Medicine: "Yeah."

After getting an affirmative answer, Wu Chen was delighted: "Damn! Then it's going to go into our mouth in the end anyway, this right-handed left-handed thing...you can give me a taste first!"

"No." Hong Yao said while flipping through the incense, "City God's Temple has neglected its duty and made a mistake, so buying incense candles to compensate you is a matter between it and you. I can't overstep my role and intervene in advance. It just misses your karma."

Wu Chen was stunned: "Just... just a few sticks of incense?"

"No." Hong Yao clapped the face powder on her hands, "They have already paid for it."

Although there is no money-for-money settlement yet, these incense candles have already belonged to the Chenghuang Temple.

"However, I still have some incense sticks left, which are not included in the order. They are more effective and more expensive." Hong Yao said, "Do you want it?"

"I want it!" Without any hesitation, Wu Chen bought all the remaining first batch of incense whose prices had tripled in one go.

Problems that can be solved with money are collectively referred to as shopping in Mr. Wu's place.

Another big deal was made, and Hong Yao's mood became brighter and brighter. It was rare to have the time to pay attention to things that had nothing to do with business with customers: "Why do you come to the incense and candle shop dressed like this today?"

Wu Chen was lighting the fire, when he heard this, he slapped his thigh and regretted, "Look at my virtue! I almost forgot about the business! Today, I'm here to thank you, Boss Hong, on behalf of the ghost people in our cemetery!"

"Boss Hong, you not only helped us get rid of the self-government team and liberated the cemetery, but also solved our most important problem of eating! It added a rich fragrance to our pale and barren ghost life! Let our days have hope ! With expectations!"

"Not only that, you also went to Chenghuang Temple alone to negotiate for us without hesitation! Helped us win generous compensation! Soothed the trauma of everyone being oppressed and exploited, and re-established trust in the local underworld administrative law enforcement agency Chenghuang Temple! "

"Boss Hong! We will never forget your kindness and virtue! In short, thousands of words can be combined into one sentence: thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!"

Pei Ci: "..."

Things are exactly those things, but there seems to be something weird...

"...You're welcome." Hong Yao was silent for a moment, and accepted their thanks frankly.

"That's right! We also prepared a thank you gift!"

Wu Chen excitedly took out a long scroll, the font on it was as vigorous as a dragon, and it read——

Flavored incense candles, complete dishes.

Just take a sip and enjoy Jiuquan with a smile on your face.

Red Medicine: "..."

Wu Chen: "Uncle Zhang was a well-known calligrapher before he was alive! It is said that his posthumous works have been fired to tens of millions!"

... My heart hurts even more.

Hong Yao hangs this scroll, which is theoretically worth tens of millions, but cannot be folded or taken off the hand, on the wall behind the counter. The wall there is a little peeling, just to cover it... This is probably its greatest value up.

Pei Ci looked at the blank scroll on the wall, and was puzzled in his heart. What must have been written on it to make Boss Hong show such a complicated expression...

After giving the thank you gift, Wu Chen continued to inhale happily. After all, he is a well-known rich second generation in Shanghai. He is not as ignorant as Wangcai Ruyi, and he tasted the flavor immediately after the first sip: "Hey! It's Yuhe Pavilion! ! This dish was ordered by Mr. Pei, right? It's too old-fashioned!"

"Boss Hong, let me tell you, the crystal chicken in Yuhe Pavilion is the best in Beijing! It tastes! Tsk tsk tsk! You must try it next time! For pastries, choose hibiscus cake, which is beautiful, fragrant and sweet! And besides……"

In the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, Wu Chen has already helped Hong Yao make a list of the dishes to order next time when he goes to Yuhe Pavilion.And put forward a marketing model in which one fragrance and one dish are combined and matched by customers.

"It's like ordering food in a restaurant! And everyone's preferences are different. I don't like Buddha Jumping Over the Wall boiled cabbage. The soup is too old-fashioned!"

It's really a typical rich son's speech.Not everyone can afford the Yuhe Pavilion, and not all ghosts can treat incense candles made of red medicine as three meals a day. After all, he receives RMB instead of Ming coins.

A fragrant dish or a fragrant dish, 90.00% of ghosts will choose the latter.

But Hong Yao didn't say anything, he accepted Wu Chen's opinion humbly, and decided to make a batch of "customer's choice" incense for him alone.

A bastard who has money but doesn't make money, he is no longer the future generation of demolition that can be expected from demolition.Today, he can only rely on his own hands, a piece of incense, a piece of wax to build a happy life!

"Actually, I'm here today, and there's one more thing I want to ask Boss Hong..." Wu Chen squeezed out a flattering smile on his pale face.

"what's up?"

"Well, that's the one..." Wu Chen was rarely embarrassed, and said coyly, "My brother is about to get engaged..."

so what?Hong Yao didn't understand: "You want to order wedding candles for your brother here?"

Uh...Looking at the eyeless paper-stitched people all over the incense and candle shop, Wu Chen muttered, "That's not true, it's just... I want you to help me take a look."

Help to see each other?Hong Yao became interested: "Is your brother married in the dark?"

Wu Chen: "..."
