Tianyi said that the origin of the Kunlun Five Ghosts is not very clear. After all, they are not people of the same era. Moreover, these five people are very mysterious and capable. Basically no one can reach their bottom, but since one of them is poetic. Master, that poem should know a little bit.
As for what happened that night, he said that the old man didn't do anything at all, so he kept shaking the bell, and he didn't even read the spell. What kind of weird Yin technique was used, Tian Yi couldn't see through.
After Tianyi finished speaking, he said goodbye to me and explained that the golden signboard would be sent to him someday, and there was still money.
After bidding farewell to Tianyi, I went straight back to the shop. Fatty and the others were eating. When they saw me back, they greeted me to sit down and added a pair of chopsticks.
Since Ah Qing, this shop has become more and more like home. She will cook every meal. We don’t have to order takeaways. The hygiene is also clean. I said we should fire the poetry. Well, anyway, with Ah Qing, she can go back and continue to be a beggar.
The poem was vain, and I murmured at a glance: "Look at my old lady waiting for a big customer to come back and block your mouth."
At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside: "Oh, Xiaolin, fat brother, where is your sign?"
I turned my head and looked out and found that it was Sister Mei.
The alley of our shop is just a street away. This sister Mei runs a barber shop. She is in her early thirties this year. She is dyed with wavy rhubarb hair. The fat man and I went to her to get her hair straight. We chatted and talked. After getting acquainted, she occasionally came to sit there later. She was a foreigner and had few friends, but she fell in love with us and had a special chat.
I quickly invited her in and said that I would not add a pair of chopsticks again
Sister Mei took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, then shook her head and said no, this time there was something wrong, not a door.
I hurriedly asked if I could help. I would definitely help.
Sister Mei spit out a smoke ring and pointed outside and said, "Previously, there was a Maoshan ghost road on the signboard. Does your skill work?"
The fat man patted his chest: "No matter if you pay back ten times the money, my brother can get rid of those so-called master ten streets."
I smiled bitterly, saying don't make conclusions so early, and explain the situation first, otherwise it won't be good to wait for a face-slapped.
Sister Mei nodded and began to explain why she came to me.
Originally, there was only one barber shop in this street, so the business was very good, but recently someone opened a barber shop opposite her, which is regarded as working against her.
Sister Mei didn't take it to heart. There was competition in every industry. As long as she did a good job of serving her, she wouldn't be afraid of someone grabbing business. Besides, it was a new store after all, and she couldn't make any waves at once.
At the beginning, the new store did not have much business, but after a lot of activities did not improve, but a week later, all the customers gradually went to the store, and within a few days of work, Sister Mei could only sit in. There were flies in the shop, and almost half of the guests were absent, but the opposite side was crowded and business was booming.
Speaking of this, I hurriedly interrupted Sister Mei. Even if the other side robbed her of her business, no one would be so exaggerated, right? The flow of people on this street is just like that. Can barbershop business be like this? And this is a peer competition. Sister Mei lost, so it's no use looking for me!
The fat man smiled and said that there is nothing wrong with it. The girls who wash or cut their hair in the new salon are very punctual, and men love to go.
A Qing gave him a blank look, scared the fat man's head shrinking, and hurriedly changed his words: "Ahem, I... I only like to go to the next street to cut it, ten yuan per time, cheap and affordable, and the cut is very vigorous. I even gave it to ears, it was very comfortable."
Sister Mei smiled and asked me if I know how much it costs to cut a hair in that shop
I took a bite of rice and said, cut fifteen for single cuts and 30 for washing, cutting and blowing.
"The barber shop is five hundred at a time." Sister Mei said excitedly.
I sprayed a mouthful of rice on the fat man’s face, did I hear it wrong? Cut your hair for five hundred? Is this blatantly grabbing money
The fat man wiped the rice grains on his face, and then asked, "Are you sure there is no other exciting service?"
"Oh, who is stepping on my foot." The fat man yelled for a while and covered his mouth, because A Qing stared at him again.
Sister Mei said that the five hundred is only money for a single cut, and one thousand and five are washed and cut without bargaining or discounting.
This price confuses us. Is it so spicy? It's also robbed of Mei's business? I dare not sell the special ginseng at this price! There must be something tricky in this.
Sister Mei also said that she had sent two of her own shop assistants to try it before to see what the five hundred yuan haircut was. At this point, Sister Mei was silent, and she didn't go any further, her face changed. Somewhat pale.
I said what was going on, and hurriedly urged her to continue.
Sister Mei inhaled the rest of the cigarette before continuing. After the clerk went back, she didn't say anything special. They said that the haircut for 500 yuan was just like that, but in the days to come, the two of them actually kept it secret. Sister Mei secretly went to the barbershop opposite, but the day before yesterday, the two of them died.
One was hit and killed by a car, the other fell down the stairs and died on the way to the hospital.
Sister Mei thought it was evil, but she was not sure about it, so she made up her mind to come to us.
After I listened, I pat the chopsticks on the table, and then said I would go there. This must be strange.
Sister Mei stopped me and asked how much money should I charge for this matter
I said that I don’t charge any money. If the barber shop is tricky, it will harm the neighbourhood.
Not long after I walked out, the fat man followed him out. He said he also wanted to open his eyes and see what is the name of the 500 yuan haircut.
I gave him a blank look and asked Qing if he knew? Don't think I don't know what he is thinking.
Does the fat man tell her about this? I said I went to the toilet before sneaking out...
Fatty and I came to this newly opened barbershop over our shoulders. When I entered inside, I believed that Sister Mei was right. Sure enough, it was crowded with people, and the lines were all lined up outside.
Fatty and I counted. Nima didn't have our turn for more than an hour, but there was no way. Since they are all here, we can only bite the bullet and wait.
Waiting to be bored, I found someone to chat with Fatty, and inquired about the news by the way.
We found a girl with gray hair dyed in grandma’s hair and chatted about the housework. This girl is also very cheerful. She talks freely when she chatted. When the conversation was almost the same, I suddenly changed the topic and asked her: "Sister, you often Come to this barber shop to spend?"
The girl nodded and said that she came almost every day.
The fat man and I both showed surprised expressions on their faces. My heart said that this girl has a brain problem, right? No one comes to the barber shop every day, and the shop is expensive.
