I'm telling fortunes in North America. I'm really not a wizard.

Chapter 45 There is a way

[There was some repetition at the end of the previous chapter, which has been revised.]

Thick seven fen, long and a half inch, with cloud pattern "Los Angeles Capital Management Seal"...

How dare you think about it!
Others may not understand what Mr. Chen wants, but as the heir of this traditional jade and carving shop, how could he not understand the meaning of the seal with these words?

Los Angeles governance, all power, India!
Is this the 25th Daoist sect's opening?
Zhike means missionary rule!
It is equivalent to the Catholic Church sending a Pope to America!
He didn't hear the wind!
Even if it was the case, it would be impossible for him to come and ask an ordinary carving boss in Chinatown to do this job!
If the Taoist sect were to start attacking Los Angeles, wouldn't they have to prepare this seal themselves?
"Um... guest, Mr. Chen, are you going to return it yourself... or is it the elders in the sect who want this seal?"

Yang Yuhua asked cautiously.

Chen Yaozu saw the caution of his boss and explained with a smile: "I use it myself!"

In fact, he originally wanted to say that he had read too many novels, so he just carved this seal for fun, and it felt really cool.

After all, this is too normal for men!
Which man can resist a straight stick?

Even if he is in his forties or fifties, he will still be as happy as a child if he finds it on his way home.

Therefore, it is a normal reaction for a man to carve a seal for fun or collection after reading martial arts or fairy tales online.

A man is a boy until he dies!
But when the words were on the tip of my tongue, a warning suddenly struck me that I couldn't say that.

This seal will only be useful if you acknowledge that you used it!
Recognition and approval are sometimes very important for certain things, especially when they are just being developed or born.

Not to mention, this is a seal related to identity and requires self-recognition.

Yang Yuhua breathed a sigh of relief when she heard him say that he used it.

Although the young man in front of me is handsome and strong, he is too young!

It is his youthful and handsome appearance that makes him look like someone who does not come to Los Angeles to cause trouble.

He doesn’t even look like someone who can take on the main responsibility!

America claims to have freedom of religion, but in fact, it is the world of Christianity and Catholicism.

As for those who believe in Satan, or other weird beliefs like flying pasta gods, these things will never amount to anything.

Therefore, no matter whether it is Christianity or Catholicism, they do not attach importance to these things. But if Taoism wants to send someone to bring in the Twenty-Five Zhidu Gong, it will be a big deal!
There is a Guandi Temple in Los Angeles, as well as a Mazu Temple and even a Tianhou Temple.

But that is just a spontaneous belief among the people and does not pose a threat to Catholicism or Christianity. Although there are some restrictions, they are not too serious.

But what is it now?
Taoism has twenty-four jurisdictions, which are the places where Taoism teaches and lectures.

Taoism has three treasures: mirror, sword and seal.

The mirror represents self-knowledge, self-cultivation, and the improvement of one's deficiencies. Only by knowing oneself and becoming stronger can one have the means to understand the world and save the people from suffering.

The sword is a golden weapon, a weapon of war, and a means of conquest. If you do not respect my mercy, I also have some knowledge of martial arts and the ways of fighting in military formations.

Seal represents authority and a name and a tool, but the name and the tool cannot be delegated to others.

To govern means to rule.

Taoism has been domineering since ancient times. If it really extends its hand into Los Angeles and establishes the 25th district here, it will inevitably conflict with Catholicism or Christianity.

There will definitely be blood and gore at that time, and I, who helped the Taoist sect carve the seal, will definitely be retaliated against.

He also knew that when the seal was being engraved, everyone who owned the seal could not talk nonsense at the beginning.

So no matter whether this seal is for fun or is really carved for use, as long as the young man in front of me says that it is for his own use, then there is no problem.

After all, so young...

"Okay, what's the button?"

Since it was determined that the thing was for the young man to play with, and it might even be a prop for cosplay, Yang Yuhua felt that the service she provided should be better.

"For example, the Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal at Mount Longhu, if it is the earliest seal left by Zhang Tianshi, is a jade seal that is one and a half inches long and seven tenths thick, with a square knob.

Later, Longhushan also made a Dayang Pingzhi Dugong seal, which was also seven fen thick, but much larger, two and a half inches long horizontally, but the button was made of a golden dragon.

Which one do you choose?
My personal suggestion is that the golden one looks better."

He really thought that the young man in front of him was carving for fun. Since it was for fun, of course the more beautiful it was, the better.

Chen Yaozu shook his head and said: "The best way is simplicity, just make a simple square button!
how much is it?
How long will it take to heal?

When Yang Yuhua heard the young man asking about the price, he took him to a display cabinet nearby, where there were seals carved from several materials.

"The jade seal materials I have here are four kinds of jade, namely emerald, agate, and jade. However, the price of each of these four materials varies greatly depending on the water quality, origin, and texture.

What kind of material, what kind of price.

Only after the materials are decided can I know when I can get it ready for you.

Now there are samples of these materials here, and there are introductions on the materials. You choose one and I will carve it for you.

As for how long it will take, you are carving a square button, not a dragon or tiger, so it will be easy! About an hour!"

This was convenient. Chen Yaozu took a look and simply picked out a piece of oily white jade.

"This piece of white jade is considered mid-range, not cheap, I'll give you $1000!
The engraving costs seven characters, and each character costs 60 dollars, so the total price is 1420 dollars, which is 1400 dollars.

Are you going to sit here and wait or go out for a walk?
You have to wait for an hour. I suggest you go out for a walk. I will carve it when you come back!"

"Okay, 1400 is 1400!

I'll get it in a minute!"

Chen Yaozu was about to accept this suggestion.

After all, the Chinatown here is indeed very distinctive, with a similar charm to Hong Kong in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.

Suddenly, the phone in Yang Yuhua's pocket rang. This was another phone he used for communications besides the one he used for live streaming.

"Excuse me, let me take a call!"

Chen Yaozu said it doesn’t matter:

"It's okay, I just want to go out for a walk!"

Yang Yuhua smiled apologetically and picked up the phone:

"Hey Jimmy, what's up?"

Something was said very quickly on the phone.

"Ah... there are still people like this?"

He exclaimed after hearing this, and then called out to Chen Yaozu who was walking out: "Mr. Chen, you can't go out now!

There's a crazy woman waiting outside for you to get out, and she's planning on livestreaming you attacking her with bear-proof pepper spray!

I want traffic so badly!"

After he finished speaking, he quickly walked to the door and looked out.

Sure enough, I saw a white woman in red clothes across the street holding something in her hand, staring at my store. It should be the bear-repellent pepper spray.

Not far behind her, there was a sturdy white man live-streaming on his cell phone.

"Shit, it's true!"

Yang Yuhua was furious. She raised her phone to take a picture of the woman, opened her YouTube account to take a screenshot of the video, and planned to call 911.

However, he didn't expect that the woman outside would back off after seeing him taking pictures and preparing to make a phone call.

Chen Yaozu's mind moved, and the Brazilian female ghost, who had been nourished by the spirit of his practice of guiding techniques for so long that she was able to walk in broad daylight, followed him.

Seeing the other party retreat and the YouTube video stopped, Yang Yuhua, who wanted to avoid more trouble, breathed a sigh of relief and put down her phone:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, the other party is targeting us Chinese in Los Angeles, and has implicated your guests who are traveling from China.

Fortunately, the other party gave up today, so you don’t have to go out and just wait here for half an hour. I will carve it for you in half an hour!"

Because Chen Yaozu speaks standard Mandarin, his appearance, skin color, and manner of speaking are different from those of other Chinese people in America, and it is obvious at a glance that he does not fit in with the environment of Chinatown.

So Yang Yuhua thought he was here for tourism. After all, he came here to make a living. Who would go to Chinatown and make such an arrogant seal?

No one would blink an eye when spending more than 1400 US dollars to carve a seal. Except for tourists, local Chinese people don’t have such luxury!
"Row!"

Chen Yaozu nodded. The most important task today was to get back the jade seal. Everything else was trivial.

Even if the Brazilian ghost came back and told him that the woman had not left and was waiting for him to come out in the corner!
But he decided not to broadcast it live. He changed his mind and planned to make a video to record the scene of her attacking him.

Especially take a picture of yourself rolling on the ground when the bear spray hits your eyes.

How can you bear this?
While listening to the sound of the carving master's knife next to him, Chen Yaozu was thinking about how to perfectly counterattack the provocative white woman without getting involved in a lawsuit.

After all, Mrs. Wood said that she needed two days to help him settle the teaching qualification issue, and he currently only held a temporary green card.

When that white right-wing woman who hates Chinese people attacks you, what should you do to perfectly fight back against this slutty bitch without leaving a stain on your own experience?
He fell into deep thought!
If a Brazilian female ghost is used, it doesn't seem to be very difficult, but it is daytime now, this is Chinatown, and there are surveillance cameras everywhere.

Once you use the Brazilian female ghost, you may feel a little passive. This is your trump card, how can you move it easily!
After thinking for a while, he mentally connected the amulet: "Deducing a perfect way to strike back at that woman without getting involved in the lawsuit!"

[To deduce the secrets of heaven, you need to use up today's two opportunities for deduction and exploration. Yin Deyi, do you want to start deducing? ]

Do we still need to deduct good deeds?
Fortunately, only one Yin De was deducted. Chen Yaozu breathed a sigh of relief and silently said to himself:
"Yes!"

　Happy National Day everyone!
