I don’t know if it was because Shopkeeper Sun was killed, but in the next few days, the town once again experienced a rare period of calm.
Zhao Youliang is still "not doing his job properly", leaving his paper-making shop alone and only looking after Mrs. Yingchun's barbecue restaurant.
In addition to helping out at the barbecue restaurant every night, Zhao Youliang stayed in shopkeeper Sun's coffin shop during the day.
Practice the skills of a coffin bearer according to the methods in ancient books.
This is also what the prisoner suggested, don't overwhelm yourself if you have many skills.
Moreover, this ancient book also records many folk "homespun methods" to prevent and expel ghosts. Although they are not very powerful, they are simple and practical.
Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past two days, the Huang family's brother and Xiao Dumpling never came back.
Zhao Youliang asked the prisoners what they were doing. The prisoners only said that they were recruiting soldiers and horses for the hall. After all, most of them were empty.
And ensure that there will be no danger in recruiting troops this time.
After listening to the prisoner's words, Zhao Youliang felt a little relieved.
When asked again why there were two evil spirits missing, the prisoner did not answer.
The prisoner didn't mention Zhao Youliang and didn't pursue him further. He thought that the two evil deities had run away to find another job because they disliked his humble appearance and lack of future.
It's not like they haven't run away...
"Let me go, it turns out that learning Uncle Sun's skills is still a physical job!"
Looking at the semi-finished coffin that he had been busy making for two days, Zhao Youliang was quite emotional.
After checking the time again, he washed up, changed clothes, and went straight to the barbecue restaurant.
Because after dark is the busiest time for barbecue restaurants, if Zhao Youliang doesn't go, Mrs. Yingchun will be exhausted by herself.
"Sister, is business so good today?"
Looking at the almost full store, Zhao Youliang felt happy for Mrs. Yingchun from the bottom of his heart.
Sister Yingchun smiled and replied: "Today is the weekend, and tomorrow is the first day of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. Of course there will be more people."
"Quantum, hurry up and go to the wholesale department to bring a few boxes of beer. I'm afraid we don't have enough to sell tonight."
"Okay!" After Zhao Youliang agreed, he was about to go out, but was stopped by Brother Chen Wei who was just about to enter.
"Forget it, I'll go."
"Quantum doesn't know how to drive, so how can I move several boxes of beer back?"
"Sister, will you take seven or eight boxes first?"
Brother Chen is not an outsider, so Mrs. Yingchun doesn't show any pretense.
"That's enough, brother, we still have more than a dozen boxes at home!"
"Oh, by the way, bro, you don't need to pay the wholesale department. I'll just pay him back when the wine delivery guy comes tomorrow."
"I got it!" Brother Chen replied without looking back: "Quantum, you don't have to come with me, help Miss Yingchun."
As soon as Brother Chen left, Li Mao came to the store with a smile.
"Sister, Quantum, I'm here to help!"
"Just tell me whatever you need me to do!"
Zhao Youliang would not be polite to the driver Xiao Li: "Go to the kitchen and help the chef grill the skewers. He is too busy by himself!"
"Okay!" Xiao Li readily accepted the task.
In his own words: "This is a good job. If I bake one more skewer for each table, I will be full!"
In fact, the essence of business is a place where people gather, especially those in the catering industry.
It is precisely because of the help of Xiao Li and Brother Chen, as well as the support of the neighbors, that this barbecue restaurant can become more and more prosperous.
Time passed little by little in the busyness, and it was not until two o'clock in the morning that the last table of guests left.
Of course, during this period, Zhao Youliang went back to the shop to pay incense according to the rules.
Regarding this point, we will not go into details in the following article.
Brother Chen was in a high mood today, and he didn't have to go to work tomorrow, so he made a suggestion.
"Quantum, sister, Xiao Li, how about a drink for the four of us?"
"First of all, let's agree that I'm going to treat you. We can't let the girl take advantage of the work and pay for it, haha!"
After Chen Wei said this, he immediately received a "white eye" from Sister Yingchun.
"Brother, what you said is that you treat the girl and Quantum as outsiders, don't you?"
"You guys come to work for me every day for nothing. How about a drink, girl?"
"Besides, as you can see, Quantum and I are making a lot of money now, so can we not talk about our two families?!"
Chen Wei was a forthright man, and when he heard this, he immediately realized that he was wrong.
While apologizing profusely, he took the initiative to open four bottles of beer.
"Okay, let's stop being pretentious, let's go together!"
There was constant laughter and laughter as they drank and drank, especially when Li Mao talked about the strange guests he met, which made the other three people burst into laughter.
In the midst of the laughter and laughter, an uninvited guest suddenly arrived, it was the new mayor Guo Zhengde.
Mayor Guo Da, who was rare, did not shout and cheer, but walked to the barbecue stall alone with a half-smiling smile.
Sister Yingchun, who had a shrewd personality, just wanted to say something to him, but Chen Wei stopped her with his eyes and took the initiative to speak with a smile.
"Mayor Guo, why are you so late? Come and have a drink together!"
Guo Zhengde was not polite when he heard this, pushed Li Mao away and sat next to Zhao Youliang.
They didn't say anything too harsh, they just talked about the family's shortcomings.
If you didn't know what happened between him and Zhao Youliang, you would think that it was just friends who met by chance, drinking and chatting.
After three drinks, Guo Zhengde whispered beside Zhao Youliang while Xiao Li was talking to Brother Chen over drinks.
"I really didn't realize that you are still a disciple."
"It seems that I underestimated you before... Zhao Youliang, let's ride on the donkey and look at the ledger - we'll see!"
After Guo Zhengde finished speaking, he stood up and patted Zhao Youliang's shoulder "kindly" with a smile on his face.
"Okay, my drinking capacity is limited, you can drink and go back first."
Regarding this uninvited guest, except for Chen Wei who pretended to be sorry, no one else spoke.
Li Mao even yelled at Guo Zhengde's back.
The attentive Mrs. Yingchun noticed Guo Zhengde's "little moves", so she asked Zhao Youliang.
"Quantum, what did Guo say to you? Is he threatening us again?!"
Zhao Youliang shook his head gently: "Sister, don't worry, it's not."
"But how did he know that I was a disciple? It's strange..."
When he went back to the paper shop to rest, Zhao Youliang was already in a daze after drinking.
As usual, he moved the two paper figures made by his cousin to the door of the bedroom, then fell on the bed and fell asleep.
The reason why he developed this habit is that in this weird shop, only these two paper figures can bring Zhao Youliang a sense of security.
He has always used the pair of paper figures as door gods.
Facts have proved that Zhao Youliang's caution really worked...
When the time reached around 3:30 in the morning, a gust of wind suddenly blew inside the paper shop.
The clever big yellow dog was immediately alert, and then his face was filled with panic.
Without hesitation, he jumped out of his kennel and got into Zhao Youliang's bed with a loud noise.
At the same time, I didn't forget to close the door inside.
Zhao Youliang was very drunk, so he didn't wake up, let alone what was happening outside...
