There is a saying from ancient times that an earthly master cannot afford a shed.
The so-called tent is very complicated to explain in detail. To put it simply, a business like this, where you can put a sign on the roadside and sit there and open it, is a typical tent. It can be used for fortune telling, fortune telling, fortune telling, fortune telling, etc.
Performers, monkey performers, beggars, medicine sellers, etc. often set up tents when they go to the pier, but there is one thing that cannot be done due to Feng Shui.
It’s a very simple truth. Since ancient times, asking a geomancer to do a Feng Shui survey is nothing more than orienting the Yin and Yang houses, checking the good and bad fortune of the home, the blessings of the ancestral tombs, etc. Furthermore, it also puts forward various requests, hoping that the Feng Shui master can give suggestions for improvement.
.
No matter what kind of family they are, these are all events that have a great impact. To give you the simplest example, when people buy a house now, they have to go to various real estate fairs to inquire about the price and location, and then actually view the house after they are interested.
Experience the environment. The developer actually takes on the work of the Feng Shui master in the past, and the home buyer himself is a Feng Shui examiner and will not make decisions easily, let alone just ask a stranger setting up a stall on the roadside in other places.
This kind of thing has a great impact on family life and home environment. The owner of the house usually considers it carefully when hiring a Feng Shui master. Most of them are invited by famous people or introduced by relatives and friends in a roundabout way. They will not find it easily.
A complete stranger.
There is another very important reason why those who read fortune-telling can do it, but those who read Feng Shui cannot. Whether it is face reading or palm reading, they are all carried with you. Birthdays and horoscopes can also be easily reported on the spot.
It can be calculated. But with the geographical distribution of Yin Zhai and Yang Zhai, it is impossible to carry it around with you all over the world, right?
Some things cannot be described accurately just by talking or gesticulating with your hands. It is impossible for people who come to scenic spots to carry with them precise proportions of home furnishings and surrounding environments. Moreover, the most important geological and environmental factors need to be visited.
Only on-site inspection can really check clearly.
If someone is sitting in Chaotianmen Square in Chongqing and can see the feng shui of a house or a cemetery in Beijing, either he has gone to see it on site, or the person who came to ask about feng shui has the ability of a traveler to take the scenery away.
Carry it in your mind and unfold the scroll to attract people to enter. But if you really have such a great ability, do you still need to go to the street to ask a Feng Shui master?
Since ancient times, Feng Shui masters have paid attention to the worth of Hanlin, the legs of porters, and the mouth of matchmakers. There are two ways to do business. For those who are famous, they sit at home and wait for people to come to invite them. What about those who are not famous? Want to eat this bowl
When it comes to earning a meal, one has to rely on social means to build reputation, often not by oneself, but with the help of relatives, friends, and disciples. It may seem like you are sitting passively at home, but in fact you have to take the initiative to solicit business secretly, so as to raise the price.
There are also Feng Shui masters who do business while traveling around, which requires even more precise requirements for the threshold of the world. Of course, you cannot just set up a stall on the roadside, but go to the actual place. Whether you are looking at a yin house or a yang house, look for it.
Taking the opportunity to talk to the owner, pointing out deficiencies or dangers on the spot, and then giving advice, this also requires Jianghu Jingmen's means to do business. Jingmen is the first of the eight gates of Jianghu, and its doorways can be bypassed, but
The ingenuity and exquisiteness of each business are different.
No matter how the Fengmen Earth Master does business, he still has to go to the Feng Shui site to find dragon points or check the earth's energy. Even if it is in the deep mountains and wild mountains, it is impossible to sit on the roadside and settle the business in a few words. In this way,
, the various expenses of hiring a Feng Shui master are much higher than asking someone to read your fortune on the roadside, and the process is also much more troublesome.
As for this gentleman, he just set up a tent on the side of the road just like a fortune teller. Those idle people who come and go out for a walk or travel, do they still want to take a stranger home to provide food and shelter?
To put it bluntly, even if a business comes to your door and someone really stops to ask that gentleman to do Feng Shui, would he dare to follow a stranger? Feng Shui is a big business, and it is impossible to set up a stall on the roadside and sell several orders a day.
A pile may not be open for months, but once it is open it can often last for several months.
You Fang, an expert among experts, met a layman among laymen today, and the layman was sitting calmly and calmly on the side of the square, with a calm demeanor and not showing any timidity. This appearance is really first-rate, You Fang Ren
I couldn't help but want to laugh, so I sat aside and watched the fun with a smile.
When tourists coming and going saw that man, they couldn't help but turn around and take a second look. When they saw clearly the words written on the white paper (top) at his feet and the compass on the paper, they all showed curious or funny expressions, and even looked at him as they walked by.
He was talking quietly with his companions. The gentleman also waved his fan and didn't care. He didn't take the initiative to solicit business. Instead, he watched the reactions of passers-by with interest and seemed to find it very interesting.
The man was so patient. After sitting there for an hour, he looked calm and not anxious. You Fang watched the excitement for a long time. The man finally got up. It turned out that he was going to a nearby public toilet. He didn't even take the sign and compass, so he just left them where they were.
, and he was not afraid of being picked up by others. When he came back, he did not sit down first. Instead, he stood in front of his "booth" and looked down at the signboard and compass thoughtfully. His expression seemed to say - I am like this
There's nothing wrong with the wording. How come no business comes to your door after sitting here for so long?
Seeing that the time was almost up, You Fang, who was not far away, finally spoke: "Sir, have you ever been a fortune teller before? Since ancient times, earth masters have not been able to afford tents. If you set up a stall to read Feng Shui, it is impossible for you to get business.
of."
Hearing this, the man's face was filled with joy, and he turned around and walked over and said: "You guys have really good eyesight. I've really seen people's faces before. I just changed my career recently. This afternoon is the first time I went out to see Feng Shui..."
May I ask what you mean by what you just said? Why can’t I understand it?”
He couldn't even understand "the earth master can't afford the shed". It seemed that he was really not from the world. You Fang laughed, stood up with a smile and explained this sentence and the ancient Feng Shui masters' business ethics. That person
The more he listened, the more interested he became. His eyes widened and his expression was very focused. After he finished speaking, he grabbed You Fang's arm and said, "You are the one I'm waiting for when I come out today!"
You Fang was startled and asked: "Do we know each other?"
The man held on to his arm and said, "If you don't know me, you can recognize me. I'm doing this today just to get an expert like you to talk. I'm collecting materials on this topic! ... Boy, can I ask a question?
, what on earth do you do?”
Why was it his turn to ask about You Fang? You Fang chuckled, gently pushed his hand away, straightened his chest, straightened his clothes, and put up his clothes, so he calmly asked: "Sir, didn't you see it before?
Do you like it? Then take a look."
When the man heard this, he became more energetic. He took a step back and said with his fingers: "Since you asked, I will tell you the truth. You are the one who really shows people Feng Shui. Although you are young, you have a lot of experience."
Feng, I see that there is a look of vicissitudes on your eyebrows, and there is murderous intent in the corners of your eyes. If I say something that might offend, you have broken the law!"
You Fang was neither surprised nor angry, and nodded with a smile: "You continue."
When the man saw that he had spoken surprisingly but did not say "Shangcai", he blinked his eyes and continued: "I see that there is a warm and moist glow on your forehead and cheeks. This is not sweating. Can I ask, why are you here?
Is it related to a woman? If so, let me tell you one more thing. You have been entangled in love recently, and it keeps getting messy! If you really want to know..." At this point, he paused and said
A long sigh at the end.
You Fang waved his hands and said: "Brother, there is no need to say any more. You are familiar with the routine of surprise, second question, third gift, and fourth sale. I believe you have shown your face to others. But I also remind you, although it is nonsense
It's very round, but if you really know how to read faces, you should understand that the last sentence just now cannot be seen from the face."
The man was startled, then nodded sheepishly and said: "Yes, yes, in that case I have to wait until I read my palms. I always forget the order. I am still not familiar with the business. I am so lucky to meet you."
, you must be a great expert, you are not simple at such a young age!"
You Fang asked: "Sir, I see that you are not a professional fortune teller, let alone a Feng Shui master, and your accent does not sound like a local. You should be a tourist passing through Chongqing. Could you please tell me what you do?"
What?"
The man looked at You Fang with great interest and asked, "Since you are an expert, why don't you give me a look?"
You Fang pondered: "Has anyone ever said that you are like a master of the apricot forest with profound medical knowledge?"
The man nodded: "Someone really said it, but..."
You Fang stopped the conversation and said: "But you are not a doctor. If my opinion is good, you should be a novelist or screenwriter!"
The man looked surprised, then excitedly patted You Fang on the shoulder and said, "Young man, you are so amazing!"
What a god! For an old Jianghu like You Fang, it is very simple to say the right thing. As the saying goes, you will miss the mark if you talk too much. The person just now said something wrong and said, "I am collecting materials on this side."
. If you are not writing novels or screenwriting, why would you go to the square to set up a stall to find materials? As for saying amazing fairy tales, You Fang must say this sentence first, and the result is really amazing.
At this moment, a ringtone rang in the man's trouser pocket. He apologized to You Fang, took out his cell phone and answered: "Oh, Lao Tao, long time no see! You are in good health recently, and everyone at home is fine. It's a minor situation.
They're all good, right? How's the company?...What, if you want to talk to me about the company's development plan, don't go to Dalian, I'm not at home.
What, someone wants to invite me to give lectures in Qingdao? No, how can I have time? My children are still young at home, and there are so many things going on recently, so I don’t have any time at all. I can’t go and come back on the same day... Yes, yes, yes, the first few days.
Tian just had a meeting in Wuzhen, and today I rushed to Chongqing. Alas, I am so busy!
This is not a cost issue, nor does it mean that I don’t give you face, but I just don’t have time and can’t spare a day. What is the international and domestic economic situation, market trends and operating strategies? Preparing this topic does not take a day or two, just do the courseware.
It's a waste of time... Ten thousand? You'd better politely decline this for me and thank the other party for the invitation. I really don't have time. If you really can't refuse, let's talk about it... Okay, bye!"
After putting down the phone, he muttered: "Ten thousand yuan per class, you told me earlier, I'm short of money recently! I thought you were just asking for a favor, how can you talk like that when asking for a favor?"
You Fang was a little amused when he heard this. He heard clearly the phone call just now. Someone asked this gentleman to participate in an event as a guest. The time was only one afternoon and the appearance fee was 10,000. But the other party did not mention this on the phone.
Instead, I directly invited the person to go there, and was resolutely refused with an excuse before mentioning the fee. It sounded like the reward was quite good, but the ladder was already set up and it was difficult to change his mind, so the person still refused according to what he just said.
In fact, this method is called door-knocking in the world of martial arts. You don’t want to get things done. You first make troublesome people’s requests and wait for them to find excuses to refuse, and then talk about the remuneration conditions. It’s hard for the other party to change their words and agree. Of course, this may not be the case.
Everyone has this kind of mentality, and it may not be intentional. Many people deal with things this way, but they can't speak or do things, and they have unintentionally locked the door for themselves.
You Fang was also a little surprised at the same time and asked in confusion: "Sir, what did I say wrong in the phone call just now? Are you not a novelist?"
The man smiled and said: "You're right, I haven't worked in a company for almost ten years. In the past few years, I have mainly focused on writing novels... The books I wrote in the past two years involved fortune telling and fortune telling, and I have also studied that.
Little by little, the subject of the recently published new book involves Feng Shui, so I went out to collect materials. I thought they were all one of the Five Arts of Jianghu, but I didn’t expect that the routines are completely different. "
You Fang: "May I ask what your last name is?"
The man put his hands behind his back and said, "My surname is Zhou and my first name is Mengzhuang. You can just call me Lao Zhou."
You Fang asked again: "This name is very artistic. Zhou Mengzhuang, is it a pseudonym?"
The man chuckled: "Of course it's a pseudonym. I heard that people who travel around the world like to use pseudonyms, just like those of us who write articles use pen names."
You Fang: "Excuse me, what is your pen name and what works have you written? Maybe I have read them."
The man didn't hide anything and replied with a smile: "My pen name is Xu Gongzi. I have serialized four books on the Chinese website: God Talk, Ghost Talk, Human Talk, and Lingkan. I am currently writing a book on the subject of Feng Shui, Feng Shui.
The name mainly talks about the various adventures in the rivers and lakes."
You Fang was startled, then smiled and said: "Oh, my, what a coincidence? I have actually seen it, no wonder the poem on your fan seems familiar. I wish I had seen the poem 'Drunken to the Couple's Place, Comforting Words'"
The two sentences "I've never been too affectionate" are very touching and relate to my heart. When you mentioned it, I finally remembered the source." (Note: Please refer to Chapter 23 of this book. I regret not having met Wu Ping.
East)
Zhou Mengzhuang smiled happily: "That's really a pleasure to meet you! Don't just talk about me, young man, what is your name and what do you do? What exactly do you want to ask me about just now? You, an expert, should not be asking for me, an outsider.
It depends on Feng Shui, right?”
You Fang replied: "My surname is You, and my name is You Fang. You Fang, who travels all over the world, is just a person who travels around the world to see patients. ...Mr. Zhou, actually I have something to ask you for help, but please don't worry.
I will definitely not let your help go in vain. As for the reward, how many lessons do you think is appropriate?"
Zhou Mengzhuang patted his shoulder again and said with a smile: "I don't know what's going on, what kind of reward are you anxious to ask for? It's easy to talk, little wanderer, I also want to ask you for help with something, let's not talk here. This
It’s almost dinner time, so let’s find a cooler private room nearby to sit and chat, I’ll treat you two.”
Wow, Zhou Mengzhuang actually called him Xiao Youzi! You Fang hurriedly said: "How can I ask you to treat me? I have something to ask for, so of course I have to be the host...Xiao Xian, help this gentleman hold the sign.
Let’s go find a better restaurant nearby and let’s have dinner.”
Zhou Mengzhuang waved his hand: "I don't want those things. Throw them away for me. If I didn't meet you today, I really don't know the details of Feng Shui."
…
The most famous specialty food in Chongqing is hot pot. The climate here is humid in winter, and the spicy and spicy hot pot can warm the body and remove dampness, so it has gradually formed a local characteristic. As for eating hot pot with the air conditioner on on hot days, you have to eat it in spicy
Adding duck blood and duck soup to the pot to relieve irritability is purely a matter of taste and does not match the season.
In a private room on the second floor of a hotel near Chaotianmen Square, Zhou Mengzhuang was already sweating on his forehead. He was holding a cold beer and looking out the window at the square. It was almost dusk, the sun was setting, and more and more people were walking in the square.
I heard him sighing with a hint of drunkenness: "I have long heard that there are many beauties in Chongqing. It seems that the rumors are indeed true. The soil and water support the people. Most of the girls here have good skin and good figures. These two things are enough.
It’s pleasing to the eye. Even though it’s hot in summer, the beauties are dressed very coolly. They dare to wear anything! It’s eye-catching.”
You Fang, who was sitting opposite, asked anxiously: "Mr. Zhou, please don't just look at the beautiful women. What do you think of what I asked you just now?"
Hua Youxian also advised: "Mr. Zhou, this is a good thing, and it will also benefit you. Besides, this is such a good material for writing in novels in the future. Where can I usually find it? This time it is in person.
experience."
Zhou Mengzhuang answered calmly while holding the wine glass: "It sounds like a good thing, but let me help charlatans to deceive people, hehehehe... not interested! To be honest, the novels I wrote before also involved supernatural beings.
The subject matter also includes psychological content, and some research on visual imagery. Little wanderer, if you want my help, unless you can prove that you are really confident in treating people's illnesses, I won't believe you."
You Fang frowned and said, "Mr. Zhou, how do you want me to prove it?"
Zhou Mengzhuang: "The girl you are talking about, whether she has an illusion about the world or not, you must enter the world she sees before you can change it. I need you to prove it reversely. No matter what method you use, let me see it too.
That kind of strange image vision will not lead to adverse consequences, because this disease cannot be treated randomly."
You Fang smiled, took something out of his backpack and asked, "You are not an amateur in this area. If not, I wouldn't ask you for help. Mr. Zhou, please look at what I have in my hand."
