I traveled through time and space as a little girl, and the emperor appointed me as the great master
Chapter 18: Pricing, Mr. Liu asks for help
After Aunt Chu left, Kong Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered something.
That means she should set a price for fortune-telling and limit the number of people who can be told fortunes every day.
Otherwise, the customer will just give the price as he wishes every time, which is not acceptable.
So the question is, what is the price?
If it’s too high, ordinary people can’t afford it. If it’s too low, she’ll have to calculate her lifespan for a long time to have enough money!
As for how many divinations I can tell in a day, I am not picky now that I am just starting out. I will just do it when there are clients.
If one day I have more clients, I will limit the number of people who can tell fortunes every day.
After thinking it over, Kong Xiaoxiao wrote and drew on the paper for a long time, and then looked at the paper with a satisfied look on her face.
"get it"
She also has three amulets and two talismans for exorcism.
When ordinary people asked her to tell their fortunes, the price was between 10 taels and 1 tael of silver. When buying talismans, the price was uniformly set at 1 tael of silver each. If they wanted to go out and catch ghosts, find someone, etc., the price would be different depending on the situation.
When wealthy people ask her to do something for them, it depends on their sincerity.
Just take as much as you give.
Definitely a lot.
After determining the price, Kong Xiaoxiao turned her head and stared at Fang Erwa.
When Fang Erwa saw his sister looking at him, he touched his face and asked in confusion, "Little sister, why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"
"Brother Erwa, from today on you have to learn 5 words every day. If you can't learn them, you can't follow me."
Kong Xiaoxiao felt that she should put pressure on Fang Erwa from now on.
Correct his bad habits of fighting, being lazy and gluttonous, and also train manpower for himself in this era.
I thought he would hesitate, but unexpectedly he agreed immediately with excitement in his tone.
"I want to learn. I've always wanted to learn. But my family is poor and we don't have money to let us go to school. Little sister, can you teach me? When will you learn it? Why don't I know it?"
Seeing that Fang Erwa was about to ask a million whys, Kong Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand and gestured to stop him: "Stop, stop, why are there so many whys? Just follow me and learn."
Fang Erwa then realized that he had talked too much and scratched his ears and cheeks in embarrassment.
"I won't ask anymore, little sister, don't be angry, I will do whatever you ask me to do in the future."
Fang Erwa now admires the little sister very much. It seems that she has become a completely different person after recovering from her illness.
It’s his fault that he has never been to school. I don’t know how to describe this change. Anyway, his little sister is very capable now, and he also wants to be such an capable person. Then he will see if his parents will still scold him all day long.
He wants to learn characters quietly and then surprise everyone!
Seeing that Fang Erwa was still ambitious, Kong Xiaoxiao softened her tone.
"Well, you not only need to learn to read, but also learn to count. Once you learn these, you will never starve to death in the future."
After all, in this era, people who can read, write and do accounting are very popular.
Unlike in the past, it was too competitive. Many college graduates could not find a good job after graduation.
Seeing that there were no customers for a long time, Kong Xiaoxiao pushed Fang Erwa down on a stool and began to teach him how to read and write.
It just so happened that she had some paper and charcoal pencils.
"Today I will teach you how to write your name, Fang Erwa." Kong Xiaoxiao wrote down these three words on a piece of paper and then explained them to him word by word.
After making sure he understands, let him practice how to write by himself.
A good memory is not as good as a good pen. Write it a few times and it will naturally be remembered in your head.
Fang Erwa is smart and learned his name in no time.
Seeing that he absorbed the information well, Kong Xiaoxiao wrote down today's customer information and then pointed to each word and read it to Fang Erwa.
Fang Erwa tried his best to memorize every word, and when he didn't understand something, he asked Kong Xiaoxiao again and again.
When you are busy, time passes quickly and before you know it, it is lunch time.
Kong Xiaoxiao rubbed her stomach and said hungrily.
"Oh, I haven't had lunch yet."
Fang Erwa was studying very hard. When he heard what Kong Xiaoxiao said, he took out the cake from his arms without saying a word and said, "I have some cake here. I'll give it to you."
"I don't want it, you eat it yourself. I'll go out and buy something to eat." Kong Xiaoxiao was also tired of sitting there, so it was a good opportunity for her to go out for a walk.
When Fang Erwa saw that Kong Xiaoxiao didn't want it, he started eating it himself.
It was also at this time that the news about Zhang's residence spread.
"Hey, brother, have you heard that something big happened in the Zhang Mansion?"
"How come I haven't heard about it? It's all spread."
"What a pity! How could Mr. Zhang, such a good man, have such a son?"
"The young masters of wealthy families are just playing around. They are clearly eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. They must have gotten into trouble while eating. Ha."
Because Mr. Zhang brought his son to the yamen, took the initiative to explain the mistakes he had made, and asked the adults to punish him severely, there were many people outside the yamen who gathered to watch the fun.
So this matter became a big deal.
The county magistrate originally wanted to show mercy. After all, his wife was Mr. Zhang's sister, and they were family.
After all, it was manslaughter, not intentional homicide, so it can be considered at your discretion.
However, Mr. Zhang hoped that the county magistrate would convict the person fairly and justly according to the law.
No matter what the result is, the Zhang family will bear it themselves.
In the end, Mr. Zhang was sentenced to work in a mine for five years. It depended on himself whether he could survive.
Mrs. Zhang originally wanted to divorce, but unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, she became pregnant.
Good luck tricks people.
We can only wait until the baby is born before we talk about the future.
The events at the Zhang Mansion made Kong Xiaoxiao's name known to many people. She went there to have a meal and came back, and now she has more business coming to her door.
"Little girl, no, Master, help me!"
A middle-aged man who was a bit fat, came to the stall with a sad face.
He was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe made of the finest silk.
The cuffs and collar of the robe were inlaid with gold thread, giving it a luxurious look.
He wore an exquisite jade pendant around his waist. The pendant was carved from top-grade Hetian jade and had a warm color and fine texture.
Finally, he wore a jeweled ring on his thumb.
Kong Xiaoxiao took a quick glance at the man's clothes.
Kong Xiaoxiao looked at him, and he also looked at Kong Xiaoxiao.
He was just busy asking for help and only now did he see Kong Xiaoxiao's appearance clearly.
The master is so small!
He decided to come here after hearing about what happened in the Zhang Mansion.
Mr. Zhang was his business partner. Knowing that he was coming, he reminded him to have a proper attitude and not to be disrespectful just because the master was young.
The master is very capable.
At this time, the onlookers also started discussing.
[Hey, this person looks familiar]
[I remember now, isn't this Mr. Wang from the town? ]
[Now that you mention it, I remember that Mr. Wang’s family is richer than Mr. Zhang’s. He is the biggest landlord in our town.]
[So what if he is a big landlord? Didn't you hear him ask a master to catch ghosts for him? Humph, I'm afraid he has done too many bad things.]
Someone in the crowd mocked Mr. Wang, saying that he got into trouble because he was rich and unkind.
More and more people gathered around Kong Xiaoxiao's stall, blocking the road.
Kong Xiaoxiao gave Fang Erwa a look, and Fang Erwa understood and walked into the crowd.
“If you want to watch the fun, please line up and don’t block the middle of the road, otherwise others will be unable to pass.
If you don't listen to my advice, I will ask the officials to chase you away."
Fang Erwa knows how to take advantage of the situation.
Many people saw the officials coming to collect their money.
Some people knew that Kong Xiaoxiao and his friends knew the constable, so they immediately made way in the middle of the road.
But some people were not happy to be squeezed and even made rude remarks.
[It’s only been a few days since I started the stall, but I’m already so excited]
[Alas, who can blame him for having the official as his backer?]
When Fang Erwa heard this, he rushed to the sarcastic people, pulled them out, and told them to get out or they would be beaten.
The rat shit was kicked out, and the onlookers became quiet, everyone staring at Kong Xiaoxiao.
She tried hard to suppress the groundhog in her heart, and then with a smile that she was not aware of, she spoke to the guest in front of her.
"Tell me your name and age. Do you interpret dreams, tell fortunes, tell faces, or catch ghosts?"
Fang Erwa immediately took on the role of assistant and walked up to the other party and handed him paper and pen in a very professional manner.
The rich businessman was stunned for a moment, holding the charcoal pencil in confusion, what is this?
Fang Erwa was indeed smart. He saw the other party's confusion and immediately introduced him how to use charcoal pencil.
"I see. The master is indeed a master. Even his brushwork is so unique."
The rich businessman immediately looked like he was trying to flatter her, which made Kong Xiaoxiao want to remind him of something.
At least you are dressed in gold and silver, and you are a wealthy businessman. It is really unbearable to see you like this.
"Master, I'm here to ask you to catch ghosts today."
When the rich businessman talked about ghosts, he patted his chest in fear.
Kong Xiaoxiao saw that he was afraid and anxious when he mentioned ghosts, so she asked.
"Please explain the matter in more detail."
