Chapter 284: In Terms of Cruelty, Adults Are More Cruel
Wang took the initiative to ask for a talisman, but Qin Liuxi naturally refused. He drew a few talisman himself and stacked them up, and specially blessed a waterproof talisman so that the talisman would not melt when exposed to water, thus ensuring spirituality.
Several talismans were placed in front of him. Qin Liuxi sat blankly until Qihuang came over and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Qin Liuxi pointed at the talisman: "You think, why do I know everything?"
Qihuang: "?"
"I seem to be able to learn these things instantly. When you say I'm so smart, are you being entrusted to me by a god?" Qin Liuxi said with a wink.
Don't be too proud and arrogant with this tone. You will definitely be the one getting beaten outside.
The corners of Qihuang's eyes twitched slightly and he said: "I don't know if you are a god entrusted to the world, but even if you are a god, you are still in the mortal world, and you are an ordinary person. So you have to deal with this matter in the mortal world. I have calculated it. "Yes, the eight hundred taels of silver my wife gave me is not enough to support this shop."
Qin Liuxi was shocked: "What? Not enough? This business of exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts, regardless of the cost, is all my own ability. Even if I treat people, I only prescribe them and let them go to the Palace of Eternal Life to pick up medicinal materials. That’s it. Isn’t that enough?”
In the old days, old man Guan's coffin shop even converted all the old materials and sold them, but it still wasn't enough for eight hundred taels, right?
"Let me talk about treating diseases first, let alone those who need to prescribe decoctions for a long time. For emergencies, you can't prepare some common medicines? The shop in Suxifang is not short of a distance from the Palace of Immortality, and it needs to be prepared right away. It would be even more troublesome. I think some common medicines should be prepared. For example, if someone comes to treat an injury, do you need gold sore medicine, anesthesia, mulberry white leather sutures, and other things? Prepare?"
Qihuang was fiddling with his calculations. Since he wanted to treat a disease, medicine was indispensable, especially for emergencies.
"This is a fortune to cure diseases. Also, to ward off evil spirits and catch ghosts, you must prepare yellow paper and cinnabar pens, etc., right?"
"Even if he doesn't use the talisman, I'll beat him to death!" Qin Liuxi said domineeringly.
The two ghosts on the wall not far away had ears for the wind. When they heard this, the male ghost clicked his tongue and shook his head: "In terms of evil, adults are still more evil!"
The female ghost sat cross-legged and took in her breath, without opening her eyes, and said, "How else can a ghost be called worried?"
Inside the room, Qihuang endured it and said, "You can hit me, but you can't just hit me right away. Don't you think your hand hurts? So why don't you draw the peace charm?"
"Well, it doesn't cost too much, right?"
Qihuang sneered: "As you said, the higher the quality of the cinnabar yellow paper, the more effective it is. Also, if the guests ask for some magical artifacts to protect their safety, you are not allowed to stock them up in advance? Are these materials not silver?"
"I never said that!" Qin Liuxi argued: "No matter how good those things are, they are not as powerful as my spiritual power."
Qihuang was too lazy to listen to her excuses, and added: "Besides these, there is also the decoration of the shop. If you want to decorate the room in the backyard, you must use good things. There is also a clinic for treating patients... By the way, open a shop. You still have to go to the relevant yamen to register, and you have to put some money in it to make it easier for the yamen people to do things, and you have to pay the shop tax in the future..."
"Stop talking, why is it so troublesome to open a shop? It's really not what I can do!" Qin Liuxi interrupted her impatiently.
Qihuang looked at her sideways: "Isn't that open?"
Qin Liuxi's eyes lit up: "Okay?"
"What's wrong? This is not your private property. It was your wife who gave the money to you as a small private house for the eldest son, so that you can earn money from it. You are the one who took over. Now that you are leaving your choice, you have to tell your wife. Otherwise You can’t leave it alone forever, after all, you have a shop and you have money.”
Qin Liuxi was discouraged and said: "Then we'll use it all. We don't need any decoration. I see it has been painted. What decoration does our ghost hunting shop need? Is it used for ghosts to live in? Just clean it up like this. , we must pay attention to simplicity.”
"That's okay. In fact, there are benefits to opening it. It is linked to the Taoist temple. You can give them a share of the sesame oil money. This is some merit. If there are believers who want to see you, you don't have to go to Qingping Temple. You can go to the shop. Go, it’s close, isn’t it?”
"That's right, you can live more." Qin Liuxi frowned.
Qihuang saw a trace of impatience on her eyebrows, and he knew her temper, so he said: "The business of this shop is not the same as others. This doctor can only treat rare and difficult diseases. That's it. Poor people may not be so lucky and may not accumulate much merit.”
"No, no, you're right. Our shop is already in the business of an unusual shop. It treats illnesses and saves people. We only look at rare and complicated diseases to make our shop different. It also makes our shop more famous. It won't be different from other shops." This is what medical clinics do to grab business.”
Merits and other things should be accumulated slowly. If you are too tired, you will not be able to do it.
Qihuang: "..."
Forget it, let's not expose her laziness.
The next day, Qin Liuxi took a bottle of golden sore medicine, a bottle of pills to treat typhoid fever, and several peace charms he drew last night, and delivered them to Wang personally, and told him how many days he would be away.
Wang asked: "Is that what you said you wanted to go to Ningzhou Fucheng before?"
Qin Liuxi nodded and said, "If there are no suitable workers in the preserve shop, I can look for one or two in Ningzhou Fucheng?"
Wang's eyes lit up: "If there is such a skill, that would be fine, but will it tire you out?"
"Just pay attention." Qin Liuxi glanced at her face, lowered his eyes slightly and said, "If mother has not been in contact with others in the past two days, there is no need to be too hasty to make a decision. It will be better to get to know her more."
Wang was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"My mother used to have a lot of people at her disposal, and most of them would not be able to handle the dowry business personally. Someone would take care of the dowry business and show it to you. But now you only have Aunt Shen by your side. If you don't have people who can run errands for you, it means you have less people." I don’t understand this, but I know that the most cunning ones are businessmen, and it’s even more difficult for women to do business, so they might trick you here.”
Wang pursed her lips and asked tentatively: "You mean I will lose money?"
Qin Liuxi smiled lightly: "Be careful when sailing a thousand-year-old ship. It's not too much to be cautious. After all, you can't open a shop in a hurry. The more anxious you are, the easier it is to run out of business."
"I see."
Qin Liuxi then stood up, bowed to her, walked out, walked to the yard, and saw his eldest aunt Qin Yingmei coming, he also saluted her, said a few polite words and left.
Qin Meiniang entered Mrs. Wang's room and saw that she was in a daze, so she stepped forward and called out softly.
"Ah, Mei Niang is here." Wang suppressed her shock and said with a smile: "You know that there is a letter from father, right? I still need to pack some things. Today you go out with me to do some shopping. , let’s take a look at the store’s progress?”
"I listen to my sister-in-law." Qin Meiniang was very obedient.
Wang asked Aunt Shen to put away the things Qin Liuxi had sent, took a deep breath, and secretly regained her energy.
Under the heavy reward, here is an extra update (thank you for the scholarly treasure reward). QRead members can read the books in the membership library for free. Zha Mo doesn’t ask for much, just leave the ticket to Sister Xi!

In order to make it easier to read, I checked the organization of the information. I write slowly because of my ability. (So now I update 4,000 times a day. There are If time permits, more updates will be added).
I also really want to get a nice medal for this book, but if I don’t get it, I’m a scumbag!
