Chapter 14: Catch the ducks and put them on the shelves
Today Fugui collects money. He is a tomb-suppressing beast that suppresses evil spirits. Ordinary little devils don’t dare to act arrogantly, and even psychics and exorcists don’t dare to offend.
The second master could clearly see that the items used by the little devils to trade looked like ancient coins, and there were even banknotes, but there were no modern banknotes.
Seeing that he didn't understand, Lingye explained: "Modern coins don't believe in ghosts or psychics, so they can't be used in the underworld, but they can be used in the human world." However, these things are from the underworld, so they naturally charge ancient silver coins.
Therefore, when ordinary people pay homage to their deceased relatives, they will burn not only ghost coins but also gold and yuan treasures.
The second master looked over it and felt that it was not very interesting. It was no different from shopping in the mall on weekdays.
Seeing that the second master had lost interest, Lingye said casually: "Second master, in the past, Fu Gui and Ren Xi took turns to look after the store here. Now that you are here, Fang Xiangshi will take turns from now on."
Naturally, I have to include you."
Hey, what do you mean? The second master looked at her in surprise.
I’m here to help you take care of the museum. In the future, I’m going to go into the mountains to do big things. So why don’t you just cut him off and let him work as a hawker?
Ling Ye's men were not slow in their movements and still helped Fu Gui organize his things. He said without changing his expression: "It only takes about half an hour. Considering the second master's ability, he will definitely be able to do it."
The second master snorted coldly, "I think you want to catch the duck on the shelf, right?"
"Then, Second Master, are you a duck?"
Lingye looked at him with smiling eyes, and the second master curled his lips without saying a word.
Forget it, let's just think of it as experiencing life. The second master didn't notice that he couldn't get angry when facing Dong Lingye.
"Then remember to take me with you when you go into the mountains in the future?" The second master was still thinking about going into the mountains to hunt for treasures.
"It's natural. The second master will be a member of Fang Xiang's family from now on. Naturally, we have to go out and do things together."
After receiving Lingye's affirmative answer, Erye tried to take over Fugui's job.
He needs to remember the prices of all goods and the conversion of silver coins in different places, and identify the authenticity of silver coins and the transactions of goods.
The second master is originally the soul of Hades, so contacting these things from the underworld is not a problem. Although he does not have spiritual power or magic, nothing should happen to him within the Fang Xiang clan.
Lingye was so relieved that the second master started doing the most basic accounting work.
From time to time, the big man Smiling Tiger and others would cast their eyes towards the second master who was struggling to settle accounts at the Eight Immortals Table, feeling unspeakably awkward in his heart for a moment.
When had the Second Master ever been so friendly to the people? After they plotted against the Second Master, not only were they not punished by the Second Master, but the Second Master was also treated so well and obediently by the people of Dongda, which really surprised them.
It was quiet inside Fang Xiang's shop. No one shouted loudly whether it was trading or inspecting the goods. This was the rule.
Seeing that there were still five minutes left until the night gate closed, and only two ghosts were left in the hall to check out, Lingye told Ren Xi and the others to prepare to pack their things.
By chance, just as the last ghost left, there was a clear sound of bells in the hall. The "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, bell, ding, ding, ding, ding, bell, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding." was very sweet and attracted special attention in the quiet Fang Xiangshi Hall.
A gray-haired old man wearing a linen robe and coat, with a radiant face and kind eyes, seemed to have a fairy-like air. Carrying a medicine box and ringing a bell, he slowly walked into the hall.
Leng Bingbang had a paralyzed face and wanted to step forward to call him, but Lingye was the first to stop him.
The second master looked confused and didn't know why. He just took a step forward involuntarily and blocked Lingye's front, looking at the visitor with a dull but alert look.
The old man chuckled when he saw the second master like this. It seemed that something was really engraved in his bones.
Lingye didn't think much about it. He turned away from the second master and looked directly at the old man. He smiled politely and said: "Since it is within the specified time, it is not too late no matter when you arrive."
With that said, Lingye stepped forward to invite the old man, and the second master followed her step by step.
"Old man, please."
The old doctor Ling nodded with a smile and looked around freely in the hall.
Ren Xi and Fu Gui on the side showed rare nervousness and seriousness. Seeing this, Suan Xiucai and others moved their chairs to tea and quietly retreated to the side to watch, lowering their heads and saying nothing.
The second master, on the other hand, walked closely behind Ling Ye, not letting Ling Ye be alone with the old man.
Lingye knew that the second master had been following him, but he did not say anything to stop him.
