[Genshin] When Crumb Nut Leaves Tivat

"Heh." Cheng Tong smoked the last cigarette, waved away the smoke in front of his eyes, and his voice became hoarse, "Why do you cry worse than me? Have you ever raised a cat before?"

Yang Lin stretched out his hand and touched his cheek, only then did he realize that he had shed so many tears.He shook his head, he didn't know why he was crying, obviously he had never had a pet.

"Too much emotion is not a good thing." Cheng Tong said something that Yang Lin half-understood.

On the way back, Hu Tao sat in the middle of the motorcycle and began to doze off. His big head was shaking and he couldn't sleep well.

Yang Lin stretched out his hands to fix her head, giving her a support.

"Boy, what's your relationship with her?" Cheng Tong saw Yang Lin's movements in the rearview mirror and teased him with a smile.

"Friend." Yang Lin didn't mind her joke, but after thinking about it, he added, "You can also understand it as brother and sister."

"Sister and brother? It seems that you take care of her more." The long night was long, and Cheng Tong was also a little sleepy, looking for topics to chat.

"She is not familiar with the place where she was born, so I should take care of her."

"Haha, I can't tell at all." Cheng Tong told him about his acquaintance with Hu Tao.

Hu Tao rescued an injured cat from several children at the entrance of the alley before, and asked Cheng Tong for help. Unfortunately, when it was sent to the veterinarian, the cat was already dead.

Later, Cheng Tong saw that Hu Tao took the child to kowtow to the cat every day, and thought it was interesting, so he chatted with her, came and went, learned about her occupation, and made friends with her.

"I just wanted to take care of my friend's business, but I didn't expect that I would make more money." Cheng Tong sighed.

"Then you, will you come to see it again?" Yang Lin asked suddenly.

"You boy, why are you such a disappointment?" Cheng Tong cursed, and she wanted to have a happy chat to divert her sadness, but he turned her around again.

"I won't come. It's sad to come once." She breathed out, pretending to be relaxed, "I'll come to see it someday when I can let it go. At that time, I may have to ask you for help."

Yang Lin stared heavily at the rearview mirror, neither agreeing nor refusing.He was thinking about something else, something he least understood.

In his view, funeral sacrifices are not for the dead at all, but for the living.

If the meaning of the existence of sacrifices is to not forget, but not to forget means pain and sorrow. Is it worthwhile for people to use these rituals to invest themselves in the emotion of losing their loved ones year after year?

If, like Cheng Tong, you wait until you let go of everything before offering sacrifices, does this kind of sacrifice still have any meaning?Obviously already, don't care.

Yang Lin couldn't figure it out.

Walnut slept like a pig and couldn't answer him.

"Forget it, when it comes to funerals, she has more fallacies than Ah Qiu, and she can't justify it." Yang Lin complained in his heart.

"Ah chirp..." Hu Tao sneezed twice unexpectedly, opened her eyes drowsily, saw that she hadn't arrived home yet, muttered a few times, and then fell asleep.

"..."

Cheng Tong was very satisfied with this ceremony, and besides paying them, he also promised to make them a new signboard.

"Just the name, Zhishengtang Zhizhapu, is that okay?" Hu Tao poked Yang Lin's arm.

"Yes." Yang Lin is eager to change his name. If Hu Tao is covered with Yang's paper and spreads in the market in Yang's town, the ancestors of Yang's family will be so angry that they will crawl out from below to teach Yang Lin, a worthless descendant.

"After thinking about it, we still need to make two stand signs to promote the special services in the store." Hu Tao bit her pen, thinking about the promotional copy.

Yang Lin was weaving bamboo strips, and when he heard the special service, his hands trembled in fright, "Special service? Why is there another special service?"

"Of course there will be. There are more than 40 funeral shops in this street. If we don't do something different, how can we stand out? How can we win more customers?" Hu Tao said as a matter of course. Seeing that Yang Lin still didn't understand, she gave him patience. Analysis, "No matter what business you do, you must play to your strengths. What are our strengths?"

"It's your craftsmanship. You can make things that others can't." Hu Tao picked up the semi-finished product he made, "Customization of paper sacrifices is our special service."

"Oh!" Yang Lin heaved a sigh of relief. It sounded acceptable, but after carefully tasting it, it turned out to be a bit reliable.

"Help me see, which promotional copy should I use?" Hu Tao showed Yang Lin the golden sentence that she had thought hard, combined local popular words, and TV commercials, and wrote it after three hours: "Death Hall paper shop, customized service, give you a unique funeral."

"The Zhishengtang Paper Shop has opened a big bargain, buy one get one free, buy more and get more."

"The paper shop in the Xiangshengtang, the exclusive DIY offerings, let you and your family win at the finish line."

"..." Yang Lin didn't say anything, looked at the big-character poster hanging above the desk: "Never trust walnuts", took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

The two argued for a long time, and finally settled on an ordinary sentence, "Paper shop in the Xiangsheng Hall, custom-made sacrifices, and filial piety to the ancestors."

Of course, Hu Tao didn't buy it, but Yang Lin said, "The shop is all for you, can you let me write a word?"

She was too embarrassed to fight any more.

The two discussed with Cheng Tong and decided to set the reopening time for the week before the Ghost Festival.

The Ghost Festival is also known as Ghost Festival and Ancestor Worship Festival. The custom in Yangjia Town is to put a table of wine and food offerings at the door after dark For lonely souls and wild ghosts, at the end, ingots, paper money and other ghost coins that are enough to allow lonely souls to live a good life for a year are burned.If the family conditions are better, some extra dark clothes and dark tools will be prepared.

This is an opportunity for Zhishengtang Paper Shop.

"Success or failure depends on one move!" Hu Tao slapped the table to boost morale.

Yang Lin has recently rushed to work and is as tired as a dog. Aqiu has just returned from tutoring and his vitality has been severely weakened.

"Cheer up guys! The right time and the right place are on our side, don't miss this great opportunity." Walnut put her hat back on, and she was going to get serious.

"Sister, why do you want me to tell you the truth." Aqiu couldn't stand it, and tricked him into meeting with mung bean ice on a hot day, but in the end he didn't give one, and said that he could only eat it after work.

"Your job is very simple!" Hu Tao pushed a stack of leaflets on the table in front of him, "Send out these leaflets to attract more customers to our shop."

Ah Qiu picked up one of them, glanced at it, and instantly became refreshed.

"The No. [-] paper shop on Lantern Street, and the grand opening of Xiangshengtang?" Ah Qiu raised his voice a few degrees, he couldn't believe that Hu Tao dared to write like that.

"If this name is released, if others don't mention it, the bosses in this street will probably come to see it." Ah Qiu reminded.

"This effect is what I want!" Hu Tao smiled.

"Hehe." Aqiu gave her a thumbs up, and continued to read, "The most special Zhongyuan sacrifice meets the needs of more good brothers. Whether it is getting married, having children, opening a store, entertaining, or partying, as long as good brothers Think about it, Xiangshengtang can do it.”

"..." After reading this paragraph, Aqiu was silent for a while before continuing, "Before the Ghost Festival, you can come to our store with this leaflet and get it for free. One fortune-telling ghost, the number is limited, first come first served ..."

"What is a fortune-telling ghost?" Ah Qiu had never heard of this ghost.

"Turn it over and look at it." Walnut knew he would ask this, and asked him to read the back of the leaflet.

I saw a half-blind fortune-teller painted on it. It was the one who cheated them out of 1600 yuan a few days ago. If you get him, you will be able to eliminate harm from ghosts, and bring back lonely ghosts and wild ghosts to a bright future.

Ah Qiu was silent.

Yang Lin was speechless.

Yang Lin was about to say forget it, but Ah Qiu also slapped the table loudly, spit flying all over the place, "For this stinky old ghost, I must distribute this flyer all over the streets and alleys."

"..." Yang Lin sighed as he looked at Aqiu, who was tricked by Hu Tao into working in a few words.

"No." Ah Qiu suddenly realized something.

Yang Lin thought he had changed his ways.

"Distributing leaflets is not enough! You have to call some people to come over in advance to support the scene!" Ah Qiu thought that when some restaurants in the town just opened, they would find people to line up to create a feeling that this restaurant is very popular and delicious. I think the same is true for the Hall of Rebirth!

"It makes sense." Hu Tao leaned on her chin. She can chat with the chess-playing uncles in the ancestral hall and the aunts who are exercising at the door. Why don't you invite them to come and have a look.

"..." Yang Lin felt that he was out of tune with them.

The two are still discussing how to publicize.

"Did you take in a lot of younger brothers recently? I often hear friends mentioning you recently." Aqiu asked Hu Tao.

"Little brother? You said that group of followers." Hu Tao remembered that a group of children had been following her recently. One of them, with an afro, always put on a strange shape, waiting for her at the street corner, but he saw her. She didn't speak again, which was strange.

Walnut thought he was going to fight at first, so he rolled up his sleeves and got ready.

As a result, that person left again.

But when she wanted to do something, that afro would appear again and give her a helping hand, so Hu Tao accepted him as his younger brother.

"Why have you never told me about this?" Yang Lin was vigilant.

"When I wanted to say it, you were in a cold war with me!" Hu Tao said confidently.

"..." Well, it was his fault.

"Oh, don't interrupt." Aqiu interrupted Yang Lin's gossip, "Since he is the younger brother, does he have to give you some congratulatory gifts when you open a shop? Others will have flower baskets when they open a shop! Although we are young, we can't lose the show! "

"It makes sense! I'll go find him tomorrow!" The two hit it off immediately, completely ignoring Yang Lin's opinion.

"It's over, this is the rhythm of fire." Yang Lin had a premonition that the days ahead would be exciting, and he had already started to feel anxious ahead of time.
