"Of course, this is what it should be, it should be, it should be, haha!"
Bai Lao nodded repeatedly, his expression relaxed a little because of Du Kang's question, and asked: "I wonder what your surname is?"
"My surname is Du, and my surname is Mu Tu Du." Du Kang replied.
"Then, old man, do I dare to call you Mr. Du?"
"Okay." Du Kang nodded.
Bai Lao asked again: "I don't know what kind of reward you want, Mr. Du? Silver, property, or something else?"
"Well..."
This question made it difficult for Du Kang to answer in time.
Du Kang naturally still remembered the sleepiness that came over him like a tide. When he woke up, he was here. Judging from the experience of a bookworm for more than ten years, he should have worn it directly?
But I should still be able to go back. I can't just pick up a substitute and then die in the line of duty.
So the question becomes, what kind of reward can you take back?
Du Kang really didn’t know. After all, it was his first time and he had no experience!
While he was thinking about it, Du Kang saw another line of words appearing in front of his eyes.
[Guide for newbies: Salary cannot be taken back with you in physical form, please remember it]
This reminder came very timely. Du Kang was able to eliminate most of the expected salary options in an instant. The remaining options were basically in two directions. One was knowledge wealth, but this was based on the observation of the environment and Bai Lao.
, Du Kang felt that it was not a big deal.
Secondly, it is natural customs, which Du Kang needs very much. He knows very little about this world now, and he does not know whether all the work assignments he will receive in the future will be in this world. To understand the situation,
Making some preparations should be the choice to maximize value.
"The Immortal taught me not to covet worldly possessions, so I don't want anything."
Du Kang observed Bai Lao's expression and demeanor calmly, and said with a smile: "I have been in the mountains for a long time, and I don't know what the world is like outside. Why not wait until everything is done, and I can ask some questions, and Bai Lao will tell me.
.”
"Ah...that makes sense, that's what it is!"
Bai Lao suddenly realized that he had probably guessed exactly what Du Kang said. His face was full of envy for a moment, and then turned to apology and respect. "It's just that I've been guarding this Guandi Temple for a long time, old man, and I don't know what to do."
I hope the immortal will forgive me if all the answers are accurate..."
"It's okay, just say it," Du Kang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Besides, you don't need to call me Immortal Chief, just call me the previous one."
"Young Master is right." Mr. Bai became more and more respectful.
The place is not big, and while he was talking, Mr. Bai had already led Du Kang into the main hall.
Wusheng Palace, also known as Guandi Temple, is a temple dedicated to worshiping Guan Gong. It is worshiped by both private and imperial families. For small things, you can buy a statue of Guan Gong at home to ward off evil spirits. For large things, you can build a temple and offer incense to worship.
Naturally, the size of the Guandi Temple is also different.
The statue of Guan Gong on the main seat in the main hall is at least half a person tall, with eyes closed and stroking his beard, standing with a knife, majestic. In the bronze incense burner on the incense table, three incense sticks that look like they were made by himself are burning slowly, with thin smoke curling up.
Floating up, there are also some fresh fruits on display.
"It seems that Mr. Bai is very diligent in cleaning on weekdays."
Du Kang glanced twice and didn't even see a speck of dust. All the items were arranged neatly. In addition, Mr. Bai had something urgent to go home to deal with but had to find a substitute, which even alarmed the "Shangxian"
Judging from this, we can basically rule out the suspicion that it was a temporary kung fu.
"I have been here since many years ago. If I stay here, at least I will be at peace in my heart." Bai Lao said with emotion. He suddenly remembered something and slapped his head, "I didn't know it was an immortal before... Master, why don't you come here?"
I'm going to find another person to do the cleaning, so I don't have to bother the young master to do these menial tasks."
Du Kang shook his head decisively and said sternly: "Be serious and do things down-to-earth. There is no difference between high and low. There is no need to find other people. What's more, it was the 'immortal' who asked me to do it. People are doing it, and God is doing it.
Look, it’s just cleaning, I do it all the time.”
After saying this serious paragraph, Du Kang added in his mind: "Use an automatic sweeper."
As a otaku who lives alone, Du Kang has surpassed most otakus just by insisting on exercising three to four times a week, cooking his own meals often, buying an automatic sweeper and running it frequently, and mopping the floor every ten days and a half.
, this is something to be proud of.
As for what Bai Lao said, Du Kang would certainly not agree. Is it okay to hand over this shift work to others? It seems that I have already encountered a "commission". If it is handed over to others to do it again, I won't do it first.
As for whether the work is reliable or not, what if someone else does it and it doesn’t count as your own? Wouldn’t it be a waste of time?
Isn't it just about doing hygiene? Du Kang not only has to do it himself, but he has to do it well!
"Xian...that's what the young master said."
It is impossible for Mr. Bai to oppose Du Kang's opinion. Now, in his eyes, Du Kang is basically the apprentice that the "immortal" has taken since he was a child and has been raised in the mountains. This time he should be sent down the mountain for training, just like a story
That's what it says in the storybook.
In this way, the clothes on Du Kang's body, which seemed to Bai Lao to be quite strange and novel, and even his short hair, etc., all have reasonable explanations. After all, it is natural for an immortal to be different from ordinary people.
So, at Du Kang's request, Bai Lao took him to the place where the tools were stacked, told him which tools were used for what, and where the prepared guest rooms were. He also hinted or expressed in his words that Du Kang did not need to be too serious.
, In fact, he cleans every place in Wusheng Palace very carefully on weekdays. Even if he doesn't clean it for a day, he will never notice such words.
In the end, Du Kang got a little annoyed. He showed the classic little yellow face smiling emoticon with the same expression, and asked Mr. Bai softly if he had any bad thoughts towards him, which shocked Mr. Bai.
, no longer dared to say anything, and then, driven by Du Kang, he hurried home to do things.
Du Kang also asked what the specific matter was - a year of disaster and hungry people.
So Du Kang wisely did not continue to ask.
In the quiet hall, Du Kang was not in a hurry to start mopping and other tasks, but went directly to the corners, beams and pillars to wipe and clean - the Wusheng Palace was open during the day.
There are good people and believers who come here to offer incense, but if they delay now, a few more people will come later, wouldn’t it be equivalent to delaying in vain? Therefore, it must wait until the door is closed at night.
It is unrealistic to close the door early. According to Bai Lao, he is not only responsible for cleaning, but also manages all daily matters of Wu Sheng Palace, large and small - he is the only staff member here!
God knows how an old man persisted in doing so many things... Du Kang could only say that he was shocked, because in order to be safe, he now had to do the same thing as Bai Lao's substitute.
Judging from the scale, this Wusheng Palace is of medium size, so it must have no shortage of good people and believers. For this reason, Du Kang even made several plans and drafts to prepare for different responses to different situations - his clothes were not
It has to be changed. His hair and appearance are definitely very different from this world that looks like an ancient setting. Disguise is impossible. He has never been exposed to "advanced makeup technology" - face-changing technology. He can only
Relying on deception and improvisation.
However, what happened was still somewhat beyond Du Kang's expectations...or to be precise, it should be completely beyond Du Kang's expectations.
A large group of guys who looked like they were not ordinary people in terms of their clothes, and even less ordinary people in terms of their body shape, with big bellies, fat heads and big ears walked into the Wu Sheng Palace.
Du Kang came forward to greet him, but before he could speak, he heard a man with a flattering smile, bowing his waist, and looking about fifty years old, with his hands behind his back towards the leader, who had the straightest back and the largest belly.
Introduction of men.
"Sir, this is the talker of Guandi Temple, Mr. Bai."
Then, the flattering man looked at Du Kang and introduced him: "Old Bai, this is the magistrate of our county, Mr. Liu."
Du Kang's words were already stuck in his throat.
It's not surprising that the other party is the county magistrate... If I have to say it - judging from the body shape, Du Kang originally thought that this official was bigger.
But there is another point that is very strange.
Du Kang looked at himself and made sure that he was still wearing the same clothes as when he came, and he was still the handsome twenty-three-year-old young man.
so--
"Me, Mr. Bai?"
For a moment, an inexplicable chill filled Du Kang's heart.
