Chapter 22 The Son of the Four Demon Kings
"Boss, there are not enough rooms!"
Li Haoran waited at the stairway early in the morning, and stood up as soon as the boss appeared.
Xia Tong yawned and waved his hands lazily, "There are not enough rooms, so we should welcome fewer people."
Li Haoran secretly glanced at the boss of the boat, "I don't care if I accept less people."
Last night Li Haoran received a boat of ghosts, the boss of the boat went to the ground to burn a stick of incense on the sacred paulownia wood, turned his head and went upstairs without giving him a wink at all.
He didn't sleep all night last night. He loves his job and works so hard.Although it's fine to be a ghost and sleep or not, but he didn't sleep.
Xia Tong pulled up his chair and sat down opposite the boss's table, "You heard me, don't bring some ghosts here tomorrow."
The boss of the boat disagreed, "The living worship the dead on Ching Ming Festival, those dead ghosts must also want to see the younger generation, so it's not easy for us to stop it."
Xia Tong stared, "If you want to charge more for the boat ticket, just say it, what are you doing with the dead ghost as an excuse?"
The boss of the boat chuckled, "Let your little ones work hard, and let the ghosts who came earlier fulfill their wish. They arrived last night, and they will leave this afternoon. There will be no delay at all."
"There must be work to be done in this area, but you can't bring more people here, unless you want those ghosts who can't live in to be on the floor."
"It's okay to make a bed on the floor, and I can also make a bed on the floor. If you put my bed next to the Shentong wood, I have no objection at all."
"That's what you said."
This is the true view of Tongtian!
After living in Tongtianguan for several days, the big brothers and young people with backgrounds all sighed when they saw Xia Tong talking to a very imposing old ghost.
Xia Tong is a college student who has not yet graduated. How to manage the Tongtian Temple depends on her own groping. Since the opening of the Tongtian Temple, there are not too many people and ghosts, and there is no reception pressure. At this moment, the traffic suddenly increased.It's a little difficult to operate.
"Boss Xia, I know Director Wang Yixiao very well. I know almost everyone in his department."
"I also want to talk about this matter. I am a member of the public security system. I can help in this regard."
"I know friends in the civil aviation system. As long as you can get in touch with someone, I will ask someone to reserve a place. I will definitely send him to Tongtian Temple before today."
Xia Tong was still thinking, after all, it was Ching Ming Festival, so those ghost customers must be the main ones, and those who came to Tongtianguan to stay should let them check out first.
At this time, Xia Tong's eyes lit up, these temporary workers are not bad.
If they are willing to help, one day’s room fee will be waived for one day of help, and they will live in the staff dormitory for free.
Of course, the guest room they live in now will be vacant!
"Then thank you in advance."
"Boss Xia doesn't need to be so polite."
There are these professional people who are engaged in overall management. Under their command, the ghost employees of Tongtianguan are operating at a high speed.
First of all, Sun Zichu, who works on computers, put aside his work that has not made any progress. His work during the Qingming Festival these days is to receive ghost customers with Li Haoran.In the data sheet, which relatives to see when coming from the underworld, and the information of relatives should be as clear as possible.
After getting the information of the client, Chen Panpan and Xiang Yang sent the information to the police station opposite Tongtianguan. The boss who is familiar with the public security system helped to contact the local branches and try to notify the relatives of the ghost client.
After contacting the person, the next step is to find a way to send the person to Tongtian Temple in the shortest time.The country has a vast territory, from north to south, and from east to west. It is more troublesome to send people on time than to notify them.
The big guy who said he knew friends from the civil aviation system really has a big enough network. Not only is there no problem in China, but within more than ten hours, he also brought a family living abroad to Tongtian Temple within the specified time.
Sure enough, professional things should be done by professional people.
In the morning, there were relatively few living people who came to Tongtian Temple to see their deceased relatives. In the afternoon, people from all over the world came. Xia Tong moved a chair and sat at the door, leading these men, women, old and young into Tongtian Temple.
Whose wife is that, whose husband is that, whose parents are those, whose children are those?
When we met for the first time, there were tears in eyes, and was so surprised that couldn't believe it. When realized it, rushed forward and cried bitterly while hugging the relatives hadn't seen for a long time.
In the front yard of Tongtianguan, the restaurant on the first floor, the guest rooms on the second, third, fourth, and fifth floors, and the corridor outside the guest rooms, they hug each other and tell the miss of these years.
Cry, cry, laugh, cry and leave, happy to meet again!
No matter how hard-hearted he is used to seeing people who are separated from life and death, seeing so many people meet in front of him in a short period of time, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
I can't help it, plan to offer a stick of incense to ancestors on Qingming Festival this year, and burn a little more paper money. If the ancestors haven't gone to reincarnation, they will buy a boat ticket and come over to see each other.
"gone!"
People who are busy all day for life and work in the city, in winter, before the sun comes out, they often float up and down in the turbulent crowds to a certain block, a certain office building, a certain workstation, and work hard.
Finally, when it was time to get off work, finally got a short period of freedom. When came out of the office building, occasionally looked up at the sky. The sky was dark, and didn’t know what color the sunset was today.
The boss of the boat yelled, and the ghosts who turned their heads three times at a step looked back to find their relatives standing at the window.
In the evening of this day, they all remembered that the sunset today was orange, so warm and yet so sad.
What should come will come, what should go will still go!
"Line up here to buy braised pig's trotters!"
Wang Dazhi didn't go out to the stall these days, and he and his wife helped his father with the lo mei at Tongtian Temple.
Just now when those ghosts left, they bought more than half of the braised pork trotters, and the remaining large buckets of braised pig's trotters that were just out of the pan will not be left. Those who have seen their relatives who are about to leave Tongtian Temple will also buy a lot..
The pig’s trotters in Tongtian Temple are well-known in the underworld. When those ghosts were crying and reminiscing about the past with their relatives, they didn’t forget to remind their family members. When they left, they must remember to buy pig’s trotters, buy them back for the children at home, or eat by themselvesall good.
There are too many people queuing up, and the purchase limit is one per person, and the supply is still in short supply.
It was nearly eight o'clock in the evening before these people were sent away.Li Xuanqing and Li Puyi didn't show their identities, they all rolled up their sleeves to help clean up. In the early morning, a new batch of ghosts came over.
The four to five hours before the arrival of the new ghost was considered the most pure time for Tongtian Temple these days.
"Xia Tong!"
"Hey, here we come!"
Xia Tong was nibbling on the pig's trotter that Grandpa Wang had left for her, when she heard her father call her, she hurried to the gate.
Li Haoran and the others quickly followed after wiping their mouths.
Wang Dawei brought in the big bucket containing pig's trotters and asked, "Are you busy today?"
"I'm busy. Originally, Wang Jieyi and Liu Xiao wanted to come over to play with me. I told them to come back after the Ching Ming Festival."
"Are the rooms vacant?"
"Basically they are all vacant, and there are still about twenty ghosts who haven't left. They haven't contacted their family members. Xiangyang and the others are still looking for them."
"You can't find it even in your dream?"
"Um."
Not everyone still misses their loved ones who have passed away for many years. They don't miss you anymore, and they won't take it to heart when you dream of them. What's more, they can't even enter the dreams of their loved ones.
"They can't stay for two days. Even if they can't contact their relatives, if they don't leave today, they will leave tomorrow." Zhu Zhu and Huixin rolled up their sleeves and came to help.
Li Xuanqing said enviously, "You have made a lot of money these few days."
Wishing Rarely a smiling face, "My master told me that the maintenance funds for Zhengyiguan have almost been raised!"
The peace talisman painted by wishes, and the gold paper money sold by Huixin, both of these two things are for people, and the other is for ghosts. They are both necessities, good things, and they are not cheap.
How much does it cost to sell one hundred thousand talismans for one hundred thousand?
Li Puyi was surprised, "I thought you had already raised enough. I remember that you are only looking at three or four palaces. Do you need so much money to repair them?"
"Hehe, do you think those craftsmen are easy to hire? Those paints are easy to buy?"
Although there are only a few palaces in Zhengyiguan, Zhu Zhuo made up his mind to restore them with the highest standards. When Zhengyiguan is passed on to him in the future, he won't have to worry about repairs for the rest of his life.
After his death, when Zhengyiguan needs major repairs again, the task of raising money should be handed over to his apprentices.
That's right, wish the primary school students had already considered so far.
Tomb-sweeping Day these few days, the staff of Tongtian Temple are busy flying, on the third day of Qingming Festival, the ghost guests of Tongtian Temple have left, and the boss of the boat also said that he will wait a few days before coming, Xia Tong is going to have a dinner party, thank you allhard work.
"Let's eat white scales for lunch tomorrow, Li Haoran, and call your parents over."
"Hey, thank you boss." Li Haoran responded loudly.
Originally, he wanted his parents and younger brother to eat white scales, but unfortunately, the fish was too precious, and the boss didn't often fish it. He thought there was no chance, but he didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly.
Tongtian Temple was very busy for a week before and after the Ching Ming Festival. Li Haoran's family had already come to Sanjiang City. The family had a quick meeting at the gate, and Li Haoran was busy again, so the meeting was postponed until now.
Xia Tong counted the number of people, Li Haoran's family of five, Sun Zichu and Liu Xiao's family of three, Ah Fu, Wang Yong and his son and daughter-in-law.
In addition, there are Xiangyang and Chen Panpan, Lin Tianqing and his grandfather, and a few other guests who helped during the Qingming Festival. The police station outside also took a lot of trouble to send a pot of fish soup.
And Wang Jieyi, she will definitely come with Liu Xiao, and Wang Jieyi's parents will probably come too.The other is to wish the four of them, good guy, how many people are there, and it is estimated that thirty or forty catties of fish can't be caught.
Thinking about the merits and virtues that have been recorded in the account these days, Xia Tong is happy to have a long life, and has developed and developed. The merits and virtues received after one Ching Ming Festival are enough for her to live a hundred years.
Xia Tong was stunned suddenly, merit is difficult for others, but it is very easy for the master of Tongtian Temple. According to the information in the handbook of the masters of Tongtian Temple in the past, why, they rarely live to be a hundred years old?
"Dad, you bring my bicycle over tomorrow morning, and hang two plastic buckets on the left and right sides of the back seat of the bicycle, preferably with a cover."
Wang Dawei knew what she was going to do as soon as she heard it, "Can I ride a bicycle in the woods?"
"Yes, the road is flat."
"You silly boy, what kind of bicycle do you use? It's more labor-saving to use an electric car."
"That's right."
Early the next morning, Xia Tong was ready to set off on the pink electric scooter her father had brought in.
"Mom and Dad, come over for dinner early at noon."
"Hey, I see!"
The mobile phone string is hanging on the faucet and singing, "Ride on my beloved little motorcycle...hehe, she will never be stuck in traffic..."
"Ah, it's here!"
Skillfully took the long fishing net from the car, stirred the lake water, fat and ignorant big white fish floated up from the water, Xia Tong had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly filled two buckets of fish.
It's time to call it a day!
"Meow meow!"
"Don't call me Chang Sui, I'll catch you two baby fish and let you swallow one at a time."
Xia Tong was about to make a move, Chang Sui screamed shrilly, Xia Tong turned around, good guy, a peach tree ran up somewhere, waving branches and lifting Chang Sui's hind legs to hang Chang Sui upside down.
"Who are you, put Chang Sui down quickly!"
"My name is Wumu, and my father is the head of the Four Great Demon Kings, so mortals should come and pay their respects soon!"
You brat, Xia Tong put his hands on his hips, "Say it again, put Chang Sui down for me."
"I won't let go!"
Xia Tong took out the talisman paper for self-defense in his pocket, and threw it out like a goddess scattering flowers.
"I'll make you fart, I'll make you disobedient, I'll beat you to death!"
The peach tree was blown up by the Five Thunder Talisman, and it didn't care about the little demon. It managed to escape, and hid behind a big tree, wiping away its tears aggrievedly.
"You bully children!"
Xia Tong was proud, "A disobedient child will be beaten!"
Wu Mu: "..." Huh~Father, I want to go back, the world is not good at all!
