Chapter 115: Using Qi as Paper, Drawing Talismans in the Air
"Awei?"
"Hey, Master Su, are we still going to Chunming Street?"
After confirming this, Zhang Wei slowly started the car and asked, "Master Xiao Su, did you really buy that haunted house on Fuming Street?"
"what happened?"
"Oh, nothing. I just passed by there last night and saw several police officers busying around inside. I thought it was strange, so I took a look."
Su Chen raised his eyebrows: "Is there something wrong over there?"
"No, no."
"What's that officer doing over there?"
"Cleaning up the yard. Officer Amin told me that the reputation of the haunted house has kept many people away from entering the yard, so it hasn't been cleaned for days. They're happy the case is over, so they're celebrating by cleaning up the yard."
Zhang Wei even joked, "Master Su, Officer A-Ming and the others are such idiots! How can they celebrate without drinking and eating? They have to go to work instead. They're so bored."
Su Chen nodded: "I'm thoughtful."
Zhang Wei grinned: "They like to do good things without leaving a name, I am not as good as they like, hehe~"
Su Chen smiled and turned to ask Zhang Wei how his business was going.
"It's enough to make a living, but we've been trying to attract investors to Cuicheng lately, and we've had quite a few foreigners come. It's hard to even name a place. It's giving me a headache."
"That's great. With investment, development will be faster in the future."
"Yes, yes, everyone has money now and takes taxis when they go out. Isn't that how I make a lot of money?"
……
The two chatted casually and soon arrived at Chunming Street.
Su Chen paid the money and just opened the car door and got out, A Liang came up to him.
"Uncle, you guys are back?"
Su Chen asked him, "Did you tell your grandparents when you got home last night?"
"I've already said it, Uncle Yu has told me everything."
"Grandma kept complaining about you always helping others and neglecting the family, and she almost got into a fight with Grandpa."
Su Chen was stunned for a moment and smiled helplessly.
"That's just the way they are. They love to bicker all the time. You'll get used to it." He looked at Zhao Dongsheng and said, "Brother Zhao, where are you going to practice driving today?"
"We're not going anywhere, just strolling around the city to help Liang get used to it."
"Very good. Thank you for your help."
After separating from Aliang and Zhao Dongsheng, Su Chen took Apeng to buy a new set of clothes and went to Abia's store to wash and change.
"Brother, if you go to the wedding, will this stall still be open?"
Su Chen counted on his fingers and nodded: "Sure, I'll be back in the afternoon."
"Oh, okay, I'll help you watch it. By the way," A Biao reminded, "Draw some more amulets when you have time. I'm almost out of stock here."
"So fast?"
"Of course not. They are all bought by our neighbors. They all know that your talismans are very useful."
"understood."
Su Chen did not go directly to the hotel where the wedding banquet was held, but went to Lao Qian's gold shop first.
At that time, Lao Qian glared at a young man with a righteous look: "You don't learn a good skill, but hang out with people outside all day. What kind of money can you make?"
The young man said nothing, but silently opened his briefcase and took out two stacks of money.
Lao Qian was petrified instantly.
After a long moment, he finally asked in a hoarse voice, "You, you, you...you didn't steal or rob this money, did you?"
The young man laughed, and Su Chen laughed too.
Old Qian then noticed that there was a customer at the door. He quickly threw his grandson aside and greeted him with a smile: "Young man, what do you want to buy?"
"Safety lock."
Lao Qian immediately became alert: "You're not going to stuff sand in there, are you?"
Su Chen was stunned: "Why do you need to stuff it with sand?"
"Hey, it looks good on the surface, but it's heavy. Anyway, you can't cut the safety lock open to see it." Lao Qian sighed, "People are not as good as they used to be. If the store owner agrees, the buyers will follow suit. It's really..."
"Old man, I don't want to fill it with sand. Are all the safety locks in your store here?"
"Yeah, there are gold and silver ones. As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter whether it's gold or silver. It's all about the thought behind the gift." Old Qian smiled and introduced one of the silver safety locks. "This one's pretty good. Take a look?"
Su Chen shook his head: "I want a pair, this is only one."
After scanning the area, Su Chen looked at the two gold coins with a headache, and gritted his teeth: "Old man, how much are these two?"
"Oh, that's a bit pricey. Our gold is 110 per gram, and this safety lock is 8.88 grams. Add my labor fee, and for good luck, I'll sell it for 999. That's two thousand!"
Su Chen's heart ached when he heard this.
Sure enough, it is really hard to get the reward money.
But thinking about the good deeds they did by delivering supplies to the orphanage, he gritted his teeth and said, "Please pack it for me."
"Hey, okay."
Su Chen paid the money, and Lao Qian gave him a receipt. After the people left, he squinted at the young man and said, "It's New Year's Day, why did you bring back so much money? Do you want someone to steal it?"
The young man said helplessly: "Grandpa, can you please be reasonable? Is this little money more valuable than the gold and silver in your cabinet? You are not afraid of thieves, so why should I be afraid?"
"Hey, you little brat..." Old Qian pointed at the young man and quickly drooped his legs. "Okay, let's not talk about you learning a craft, but you're so old, you have to get married, right? Stay home tomorrow and I'll introduce you to someone."
"Ah, Grandpa, I think you're right."
Old Qian was stunned: "...What?"
"It's not good to take out so much money at home during Chinese New Year. I'm going to deposit it in the bank now. I'm going now..."
"Come back, come back! I haven't finished talking yet... Hey, you little brat!"
Su Chen took Apeng across the street and soon arrived at the Jinhao Hotel where the wedding banquet was held.
As soon as he entered the door, Chen Songbo and Qiao Juanjuan saw him and hurried over to greet him.
"Master, you are here?"
Su Chen smiled bitterly and took out the safety lock: "I was thinking of coming in first to add a talisman to this lock to ensure safety, but I didn't expect to meet you as soon as I came in."
"Master, how can I let you spend so much money? Let's not use this." Qiao Juanjuan waved her hands quickly.
"Hey, this is the master's intention." Chen Songbo whispered a few words in Qiao Juanjuan's ear. Qiao Juanjuan then smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything to refuse.
Chen Songbo arranged for someone to open a room for Su Chen to rest first.
"Master, the wedding banquet is expected to start at 12 o'clock. We usually eat lunch early in Cuicheng. I will ask them to send some snacks later. Please fill your stomach first."
"it is good."
It was Apeng's first time staying in a hotel. When he entered the room, he was curious about everything. He touched here and looked there. When he saw the amulet being taken out, he came over curiously, holding his chin with both hands, and looked at it curiously.
Su Chen laughed: "Apeng, do you know what Dad is going to do?"
The little guy shook his head.
"Dad wants to draw a talisman."
A Peng looked at the safety lock and frowned: "I can't draw it, it's too small."
Su Chen smiled and explained, "Everything in the world, no matter how big or small, can be used to draw talismans. However, due to the strength of the talisman drawer, many are not suitable."
"Those with advanced cultivation can use their Qi as paper and draw talismans in mid-air."
Su Chen touched his head: "Dad is not very good yet. It is really difficult to lock such a small safety lock. Fortunately, the safety lock is well made and can be tried a few more times."
Apeng nodded as if he understood.
"Apeng, go guard the door and don't let anyone disturb Dad, okay?"
"Uh-huh!"
An hour and a half later, Su Chen looked at the safety lock on the table breathlessly and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Phew, finally one success!
