Flavored candle shop

After selling out all the incense candles he had brought, Hong Yao walked towards the gate of the cemetery contentedly with a small ledger in one hand and a mineral water bottle in the other.

"Red—old—ban—" A shrill ghostly cry came from behind, and the three of Hong Yao stopped and looked back, only to see Wu Chen rushing toward him.

"According to what you said, I found the incense candles on the hill next door!" Wu Chen was very excited, but he was a little puzzled, "But it's really strange, although the incense candles were scattered all over the place, they didn't move any of them. I thought I'd lose at least half of it!"

The mineral water bottle in his hand made an unwilling "creaking" sound, and the red medicine was pinched with bare hands, and after a tooth-stinging "creaking" sound as if the skeleton was squeezed and collided, the ears became clean again.

Hong Yao said with a normal face: "You have been dead for more than a month, don't you know if ghosts light incense?"

Wu Chen looked confused: "What...why don't you light incense?"

"Scented wax, cold food, shroud paper and other things, if people don't sacrifice, ghosts can't take them." Hong Yao explained, "These are sacrificial items bought by living people. The people who sell them are living people, and the people who buy them are also living people. Humans and ghosts are always just waiting to be harvested, and there will be no relatives and descendants if they don't sacrifice or burn... Otherwise, why do you think so many ghosts are looking forward to the Qingming Festival every day?"

Of course, it is also possible to rob and steal incense, but that also needs to go through human hands.

The cute new ghost Wu Chen tried to refute: "But, I've lit so many joss sticks for myself before, and I've eaten all of them!"

"Oh, that's different." The mineral water bottle tapped on Su Bai's palm, Hong Yao's tone was slightly raised, a little proud, "My incense candle shop is the only incense candle shop in the world that is directly open to ghosts, since the main business direction is you, Then I will naturally find a way to solve this problem.”

"Each box of joss sticks comes with a small box of special matches. As long as you light our joss sticks with special matches, you can sacrifice yourself."

Sacrifice yourself...

Wu Chen twitched the corner of his mouth: "Then why didn't they light it?"

Are there any anti-theft measures for these incense candles?The kind of owner-recognition mechanism that only buyers can light?

"Ah, because I forgot to put the special matches in these few boxes of yours."

Wu Chen: "..." I don't know why, but I was a little disappointed.

"You have bought so many times, there are always some matches left, so let's use them first."

"No, I'm not that kind of ghost!" Wu Chen flatly refused, and insisted on enduring the pain of motion sickness to go back to the incense and candle shop with them to get matches.

The owner of the car, Pei Ci, didn't stop him... Anyway, no matter how dizzy the ghost was, he couldn't vomit.

The red medicine is even more indifferent, the little prince of chopping hands will go again, and his incense candle shop can make another order with [-]% of today's turnover.It is impossible for red medicine to have trouble with anything, and it is impossible to have trouble with money.

……

Sure enough, after getting out of the car in a daze and entering the store, the first thing Wu Chen did was to order a cup...a ​​coffee wax.

This wax was specially developed for a social animal ghost who was obsessed with overtime work and died suddenly from overwork when Hongyao's business was at its worst when it first opened.

That is also a ghost, who died suddenly from overwork and was thinking about work all day long. Before reincarnation, his only wish was to drink another cup of instant coffee sold in the small supermarket downstairs of the company. It is said that the taste accompanied him through countless sleepless days. Night and morning.

For the sake of money, Hong Yao, who had never drank coffee before, had a bitter mouth for several days before he could barely get the kind of... inferior, domineering and slightly sour bitterness he wanted.

Obviously, this kind of smell is not popular among the ghost people who are already dark enough and boring. After the ghosts of the strange flower community set foot on the reincarnation circuit with tears in their eyes, the remaining coffee wax can only be piled up in the corners to accumulate dust. Today Being able to dispose of one is purely because the little prince was motion sick and demented, and suddenly wanted to pretend to be tough in front of Mr. Pei.

To be honest, this coffee smells really bad!Wu Chen has never drank such bad coffee in his short but fulfilling 20 years of rich second-generation life!

...But he didn't dare to say it, he could only pretend to be intoxicated, took two deep breaths, and then silently pulled the white wax in front of him, which was almost a circle thicker than other incense candles, to the side, pretending to like it very much, but actually praying secretly in his heart It better be falling off the counter and falling apart in the next second.

"Ahem, Boss Hong..." Wu Chen's petty tricks didn't delay him from unleashing his curiosity, "What are you going to do with those ghosts?"

Pei Ci, who was surrounded by Wangcai Ruyi and forced to raise his hand to touch their heads as soon as they entered the door, also looked at Hongyao, he was also very curious.

Hong Yao glanced at the mineral water bottle on the counter, which was as quiet as stagnant water, and said casually, "That's it, what else should I do? They can't get out anyway."

Are you all so casual? !

Wu Chen was shocked, and regained his thinking in a second: "Just put them in the store like this... won't it feel very intrusive?" Twelve ghosts!

Hong Yao thought about it seriously, and said honestly: "No, anyway, the customer is also—"

etc!Today is different from the past, but now there is a future employee whom he strives for is inspecting and learning about his incense and candle shop!Although he will have to face these sooner or later, he is still a human being after all, and he must still be resistant to ghosts, especially evil spirits... In order to be a high-quality employee who can double the price of incense candles, all adverse effects must be eliminated in time!

The big turning point in thinking is only in an instant, and Hong Yao changed his face without changing his face: "Although customers are also ghosts, but this kind of ghost dregs who take advantage of the fire to oppress innocent ghosts and people are placed in my high-quality incense candles that come and go." shop, after all, it’s not right.”

How much it affects business and... recruitment.

Indeed indeed!Wu Chen and Fang Chong nodded at the same time, Pei Ci felt that the matter was not that simple, and was still waiting and watching.

Hong Yao flicked the evil ghost mineral water bottle with his fingers without making a sound, and said leisurely: "Although you are not good ghosts, and I am not a good person, after all, I have no right to deal with you... and you He insisted on bumping into my bottle, and even polluted half of my bottle of clean water."

"Since that's the case, you can stay inside. I won't do anything extra after burying this mineral water bottle in the soil. When the bottle opens by itself or it breaks, you will be free again."

Fang, the real owner of the mineral water bottle, Chong: "..."

Wu·Wen Coffee Group·Chen: "..."

He is indeed a ruthless person who can open the only incense candle shop in the world that is directly open to ghosts!

Pei Ci picked up his mobile phone to check, and answered softly: "There is an abandoned garbage dump in the west of the city. There is no human habitation or cemetery in a radius of more than ten miles. It should be a good place to bury ghosts."

Wu Chen: "..." He just said that Pei Ci just looks gentle and polite on the outside!In fact, full of bad water!He just said it! ! !

Fang Chong: "..." My boss really worked hard for the shroud...to live a long life!

Hong Yao doesn't show his super-satisfaction on the surface, the employee he likes is indeed very promising!

"Just do it!"

As soon as this sentence seemed to be the final word, the twelve ghosts who had been pretending to be dead finally couldn't help shouting.

"Don't, don't, don't! Don't bury it! We were wrong, we were really wrong! Please, brothers! Give me a chance to reform, okay?"

"Woooooo! I heard that it takes 500 years for plastic bottles to degrade naturally, so...then we can't be crushed monkeys?! Don't!!!"

"Brother Human Monkey is a monkey who lives alone in Wuzhi Mountain. This is a dormitory for twelve ghosts with no beds and water leaks! It will really kill you!"

"Brother! I'm a ghost for the first time. I'm ignorant. I haven't done any serious evil before or after my life. Just do it... I... I'm very capable! I can do things for you! Really! I can do anything can do it!"

……

The desire to survive of the twelve ghosts was activated at the same time, and the small incense candle shop was instantly filled with eerie ghost noises.

Not only Pei Ci pressed his brows and rubbed his forehead in pain, but Wu Chen, an upright ghost, couldn't bear it and covered his ears tightly.

Hong Yao was not affected, he just felt noisy: "Stop!"

The mineral water bottle calmed down for a second.

"You don't have to put on a show in front of me, I don't have that much patience." Hong Yao frowned.

How can there be so many extras in a joss stick sale.

"Whether you have done evil or not, the soul and body will naturally reflect it clearly. If you are like this, even if you don't have to go through the oil pan, you will have to go to the hob mountain. Now you just close it in the mineral water bottle. What is there to make a fuss about?" ?”

"...Then why don't you give us a bottle? It's too crowded! It's okay to change to a plastic bottle with a capacity of one liter!"

Hong Yao saw through their trick at a glance: "Shall we divide the bottle so that you can escape?"

Begging and begging, crying and crying, cheating and cheating, but this person's softness and hardness don't eat oil and salt!There's no other way, I can only flip the cards!

"We are registered underworld soldiers of the City God! You have no right to dispose of us!"

Upon hearing this, Hong Yao was stunned for a second: "Then why didn't you say it earlier?"

He fished to enforce the law and caught the underworld civil servant?

Mineral water bottles:"……"

As soon as you stepped on the horse and met face to face, you killed all twelve of us ghosts in a second, and you put it in the bottle before you even realized it, what should you say? !Besides... whoever did something bad reported himself as a family member!

……

It was already dark when we left the candle shop.

The unpopular alleys during the day became lively in the evening. Children who had been detained by their parents to hide from the scorching sun for a day were holding popsicles and running across the old stone road in groups, laughing. The white cat under the eaves was alarmed and light. Jumping on the fence, the dust is like gold powder, and the alley in the sunset is old, hazy, and shining.

Fang Chong saw Pei Ci standing at the entrance of the alley looking back in silence for a long time, and tentatively asked, "Boss, will we... come tomorrow?"

Pei Ci withdrew his gaze, his eyes were quiet: "Yes."

Fang Chong was a little anxious: "But the company..."

"It's not that the company can't operate without me." Pei Ci looked down at the blue blood vessels on his pale wrist. After a long silence, he said softly, "Fang Chong, my body is really failing."

"I'll drive you to the hospital right away! Don't worry! Dr. Su will return to China this month, and when he comes back, we'll arrange—"

"It can't be detected by inspection." Pei Ci raised his finger and lightly touched the heart wrapped in cloth skin and bones, "I can feel the blood, muscles, bones, organs... This body is gradually weakening, and it is being treated in an unscientific way." The method consumes my life extremely quickly. And human power is irreversible."

"The three months Boss Hong said is true."

Fang Chong's lips trembled, and he said, "Should we go to the hospital? Or invite the master from last time to take a look? Don't waste time... come here, Boss Hong..." I wish you could die sooner so that you can go He works in a candle shop!

Pei Ci: "I like it here."

Fang Chong was struck by lightning: "You don't really plan to go to the incense and candle shop to get a job again?!"

Pei Ci shook his head, but his expression didn't look like he was denying it.He said with some uncertainty: "This place is very special, staying here makes me feel very..."

Pei Ci stopped talking halfway through, not because he didn't trust Fang Chong, but because the feeling was too illusory for him to express himself.

……

"I just heard those residents sitting under the eaves enjoying the shade talking about the demolition of Wei Lane, and their tone was very restless." Pei Ci looked at Fang Chong and asked, "Is it because the demolition and resettlement benefits here are not in place?"

Fang Chong: "Probably not. Of course the homeowner is happy about the demolition, but the tenant may not be. The rent of this kind of semi-self-built old-fashioned house is very cheap, and in this kind of place where fish and dragons are mixed together, some cough... It's not easy to see the light The business is doing well..."

"However, most of the homeowners here don't want to demolish for some reason. I heard that when the demolition notice was first issued, they also jointly protested, saying that the buildings here are all old folk buildings, which should be protected instead of demolished, but they did not. What kind of splashes are caused..."

After hearing Fang Chong's words, Pei Ci was thoughtful.
