Xu Ping was prepared to generously spend money to win this dark piece of wood.
He reached into his pocket and his face froze. He didn't have enough money. He smiled and said, "Man, can I get it on credit?"
The waiter's smile stopped and he shook his head: "We don't do credit or bargaining."
What's unfortunate about this is that it's so convenient to travel around the world with a mobile phone, so you don't need to carry money.
When Xu Ping was hesitating whether to go back to withdraw money first, the shopkeeper finally walked out of the back hall.
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man, somewhat rich, and he went straight to Xu Ping with a smile on his face.
"Shopkeeper Xu, what are you looking at? May I introduce it to you?"
Then he turned to the waiter next to him and said, "I'm not impressed, and I'm not even looking at the tea."
Xu Ping turned around, cupped his hands, and said, "Shopkeeper Li, you are really a busy man."
"Shopkeeper Xu, please don't make fun of me..." Shopkeeper Li finished with a smile, thinking thoughtfully and looking a little excited: "Oh, Shopkeeper Xu, are you interested in this piece of rotten wood?"
Xu Ping thought for a while and nodded: "It looks quite strange. Let's go back and carve something for fun."
Shopkeeper Li said nothing and directly ordered the waiter next to him, "Go and bring it out to Shopkeeper Xu."
The waiter had already reached out to take it. When Xu Ping saw this, he hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper Li, I didn't bring that much money today. Why don't you keep it for me first and I'll pick it up another day."
Shopkeeper Li didn't seem to care. He waved his hand and said very boldly: "As you said, I'm afraid shopkeeper Xu will run away. Besides, how about deducting the fifty yuan from the deposit?"
Xu Ping was stunned for a moment and froze on the spot.
The deposit paid in the contract is fifty yuan. If I agree, doesn't it mean that the contract is void!
Xu Ping waved his hand directly and stated the purpose of his visit: "No need, shopkeeper Li, I just want to ask why the wood that I promised to deliver has not been delivered for so long?"
"Shopkeeper Xu, it's not that we won't deliver it. The main reason is that the tigers on the mountain have been aggressive recently and killed several of our workers. How about... you wait a little longer. When the next batch of wood comes out, I will immediately order it to be delivered to you."
Shopkeeper Li's smile did not diminish. When he laughed, his eyes narrowed to a slit, and his expression could not be seen at all.
But how could he hide it from Xu Ping?
Judging from the aura technique, he is lying.
Xu Ping quickly pondered for a moment, why on earth was he delaying the offer? Could it be that he wanted to raise the price?
Very possible!
Xu Ping remained calm and said calmly: "It turned out to be a fierce tiger, which is easy to handle. I, Xu, know a little bit of boxing and kicking skills, so I will follow your workers up the mountain and be a tiger-fighting hero. How about that?"
When Shopkeeper Li heard this, he hurriedly advised: "Shopkeeper Xu is joking. How can I get you to go out? In three days, just three days, the batch of wood will be sent to you immediately."
Still lying... Xu Ping got a little angry and said bluntly: "Shopkeeper Li, we are all open-minded people, so let's explain it. Do you want to increase the price?"
Shopkeeper Li shook his head: "No!"
When Xu Ping heard this, he couldn't help but frown.
He didn't lie in this sentence, which meant that they really didn't think about raising prices, which was a more serious problem.
I have no intention of selling wood to myself at all, how cruel.
But, why is this?
Xu Ping really couldn't understand that after cooperating for so long, the cooperation was suddenly cut off, which made him a little confused.
At the same time, the man held the piece of burnt black ash wood in his hands and placed it in front of him.
Xu Ping glanced down, nodded, and took out the contract from his pocket: "Shopkeeper Li, since you are not willing to cooperate anymore, and Xu will not force it, this contract is void!"
The fat on Shopkeeper Li's face shook. The young man in front of him looked calm and calm, which made him a little surprised.
"However, I still want to ask, can you tell me the reason?"
It's very abnormal for a long-term partner to suddenly stop playing with you.
Shopkeeper Li pointed to the ceiling and said nothing.
Although I don’t know why Boss Zhao gave such an order, he is just a part-time worker and can only follow orders.
Moreover, he was very curious about how Xu Ping guessed that Boss Zhao did not intend to cooperate anymore, even though he did not say it clearly.
Xu Ping didn't give him time to think, he cut the contract into two, tore it up on the spot, and then said:
"Farewell!"
With that said, he picked up the charred wood, turned around and left without looking back.
Although Xu Ping didn't know the reason, he could imagine that Shopkeeper Li had this intention because of Zhao Youcai's instructions. There was no need to go to him to make trouble.
Although I have a contract, it is basically useless to go to the police station and file a lawsuit. It is better to be more relaxed.
Zhao Youcai, Zhao Youcai, please don’t die and let me run into you again...
…
Xu Ping first went back to the coffin shop and put the charred wood back.
There is spiritual energy in this wood, although it is very thin, only a trace.
But come to think of it, it's not an ordinary thing, which is why he bought it.
But I don’t have time right now, so I can only come back in the evening and study it in detail.
With everything in order, Xu Ping went straight to Yizhuang.
The early spring season is not too hot.
Shining under the warm sun, his state of mind was extremely clear. He silently recited the "Tongxuan Sutra" all the way, and the resentment in his heart had long since dissipated.
If the coffin shop fails to open, then change your profession and specialize in doing feng shui for people, touching bones and facial features to nurse children. No matter what you do, you will never die of hunger.
As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy!
When we arrived at Yizhuang, the sun was rising slowly above our heads.
As soon as Xu Ping stepped into Yizhuang, he saw that Uncle Jiu was hunting down Qiu Sheng's literary talent, driving them all over the yard.
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai look like fools, but they are actually very smart.
When they saw Xu Ping coming in, they reached a consensus in an instant and hid behind him, shouting: "Shopkeeper Xu, please advise the master quickly."
Master likes Shopkeeper Xu very much. If you hide behind him, Master will definitely not take action.
As expected, Uncle Jiu put down the thick wooden stick in his hand and sighed: "Oh, Xiao Xu, I made you laugh."
Xu Ping disagreed and asked, "Uncle Jiu, why are you so angry?"
Uncle Jiu sighed and didn't bother to answer.
Qiu Sheng had no psychological burden and said directly: "It's a literary talent. He went to Ren's house yesterday..."
Xu Ping listened quietly.
Wen Cai didn't say anything, but his expression gradually became depressed and he couldn't laugh anymore.
It turns out that yesterday was the first meeting between Ren Tingting and the Zhao family's nephew, Zhao Fangshuo.
After Wencai found out about it, he secretly stole a piece of Uncle Jiu's Five Ghost Transport Talisman, got a female ghost to come out, and possessed Zhao Fangshuo to tease him, hoping that he would make a fool of himself in front of Ren Tingting and leave a bad impression.
Of course, Captain Ah Wei was also involved in this matter. After all, as a former victim, it was him who came up with the idea.
As for why Qiu Sheng was beaten, it was because he was the one who stole the talisman. He simply wanted to watch the fun and help Wencai by the way.
"this……"
Xu Ping was speechless. No wonder he was beaten. Whoever put these two apprentices on the same side would be furious to death.
It was not that Uncle Jiu had not taken care of his apprentice. He even had a face-saving nature and even checked in on his apprentice in front of Ren Tingting.
In the end, I only got one sentence: Wen Cai, he is a good person...
Uncle Jiu was also very helpless. He vented his anger and his anger disappeared.
At this time, it was even more impossible to lose his composure in front of Xu Ping, he still wanted to save face.
After a brief tidying up, Uncle Jiu's master and apprentice, together with Xu Ping, left Yizhuang and walked towards the north of Renjia Town.
There are many simple houses and poor families there.
