Chapter 17 Paper Tie Shop
"Paper...paper shop?" The servant was stunned, a little distrustful of his ears, widened his eyes, wondering if he had heard it wrong...
"Why, don't you know the way? Then go and change someone who knows the way." Lu Zhe said lightly.
"No...no," the servant hurriedly accused him of guilt, looking at his nose and his heart, and driving to the nearby paper shop.
He doesn't care about the ideas of these masters, just do his own thing well.
Soon, the carriage drove past the lively streets in the early morning. After turning around, fewer and fewer pedestrians were around. They drove into a relatively remote path. Even the road surface was a little bumpy, and the wheels made a sound of bumps. Fortunately, the mats in the car were thick so that they didn't feel too swaying.
Finally, the carriage stopped after a while.
The coachman turned around and whispered to him: "Young Master is here! This is a famous funeral street in our Jin'an City. If you want to find something to see, you must be here!"
Lu Zhe lifted the curtain and walked out of the car. His eyes swept over the shops on both sides. What caught his eye were wreaths and various paper men's paper ingots, etc., and even door plaques and towers folded out of paper, which were quite exquisite and dazzling!
Looking around, what is more important is that the entire street here sells these funeral supplies, and the types are incomplete.
But unlike other commercial streets, although there are many shops here, there are few pedestrians passing by, and it even seems that they are deliberately or unintentionally avoiding this street, as if they feel a bit unlucky if they take a look at it.
So here seems particularly deserted, and it looks particularly vulgar with the paper man and paper lanterns with strange smiles all over the street.
Just as Lu Zhe looked around and selected the right shop, the owner of the nearest shop lit up and approached him with a clever heart, and he was very enthusiastic about attracting customers.
"The two young men should be buying paper? Who is the relative of the family? I am so sad that I am going to change my life. Also, do you not know what to buy? I, Lao Liu, are the most familiar with these things on this street. Just ask me..."
He was chatting endlessly, but the servant suddenly turned his face and glared and said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense! Our Lu family is so good, let's talk nonsense again, be careful I will beat you!"
The shop owner who claimed to be Lao Liu suddenly choked. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but look at them strangely, and asked carefully: "No one is dead? Then I don't know if you are here to... "
Lu Zhe smiled slightly and patted his shoulder, his tone with a meaningful tone: "Who told you that only dead people can buy these papers? Lead the way, let's go to your shop first."
When Old Liu heard that he had a business, he didn't care about the purpose of the two people coming here. He hurriedly took them to his shop with a smile.
Most of the shops on this street are similar, and this one is no exception.
At the not-so-spacious door, there were a few boys and girls with paper-made "wearing gold and silver", with pink faces and red lips, which were quite vivid. They might have wanted to attract business as a signboard, but it was unclear whether it would scare people away.
When you walk into the gate, you can see stacks of red card money, incense, candles, etc. on the grounds on both sides, and flower baskets, wreaths, tablets, etc. are also piled up together, squeezing the room that is not spacious, leaving only a road that can be crossed in the middle.
There are several rows of lanterns hanging on the walls on both sides. What’s even more outrageous is that two or three sets of shrouds were hanging on the top of the head with a rope. At first glance, it looks like a person who hangs himself!
“This place is really scary…”
The servant muttered in a low voice, walking behind Lu Zhe, while carefully lowering his head slightly to avoid touching the clothes hanging on it, and he also looked around suspiciously.
In contrast, Lu Zhe, who had really seen ghosts, seemed much calmer, but he just glanced at the paper objects around him with a little scrutiny, and secretly pondered what he needed in his mind.
After looking for a while, Lao Liu saw that they looked around and did not make any specific requests for what they wanted, so he couldn't help but wonder, and couldn't help asking: "I don't know what you two want in detail? Why don't you tell me directly and I'll find it for you!"
Lu Zhe looked around and said calmly: "No need to choose, I'll book it all here...I'll book it."
"What?" Old Liu was stunned and looked at him with a little stunned, "All...all?"
Even his servant didn't come back to his senses. He felt a little over the feeling before he immediately looked up at his young master in shock.
"Not bad." Lu Zhe nodded, looking as if he was just buying all the buns from a bun shop.
He pointed to the paper money and other paper-made objects: "I bought all of these, and I will rent this store temporarily. You, the shopkeeper, will take care of this place for me. Maybe there are other needs in the future, so I will ask you for help."
"This is this..." Old Liu's expression changed a few times, and then he became a little ugly. He shook his sleeves and said angrily, "Two young men, I am just a small business. If you want to tease people for fun, please change the place! I can't stand this little trouble!"
Of course, he thought the two were deliberately playing with him.
I thought I might have received a big order, but it turned out to be so unlucky that I met two nonsense madmen!
He couldn't help but curse in his heart, which was really unlucky.
Lu Zhe was not angry either. He understood the owner's mood very well, and just smiled and said, "Don't believe it? Come on, the money should be enough for rent and money to buy everything here!"
He untied a small and delicate sachet from his waist and threw it to Old Liu.
Lao Liu subconsciously reached out to catch it, but unexpectedly found that the purchase was a bit heavy, and he couldn't help but feel strange.
After untiing it, he immediately saw the gold inside, and his eyes were wide open, looking in disbelief!
After a while, I came to my senses, my fingers trembled, and I took them out carefully and verified them. Only then did I know that this was the real gold!
"This... this young master is a little man and a little bitch, but you... do you really want to buy this place?!" He asked stutterly even after being frightened.
However, after asking, he secretly hid the sachet in his arms carefully, for fear that the other party would regret it and take it back.
"All the money is given to you, can there be fake? But if you give this money, don't think about being a hand-off manager. There are still some things you want to help me with."
Lu Zhe casually said that he didn't care about this little money at all. Just the pocket money given to him by his elder brother and second sister every month was already much more than these, not to mention that he was in charge of several shops under the Lu family's name, and he had incomes recorded every day.
