Chapter 786: A Customer Came

Xie Qiao shook her head. She did not expect Shopkeeper Chang to be so naive at his age.

“It’s good that you don’t know.” Xie Qiao smiled at him, but Shopkeeper Chang became even more curious when he heard that.

“Boss, if you have anything to say, just say it. I feel uncomfortable to see you hiding secrets.” Shopkeeper Chang smiled.

Xie Qiao pointed at the bell at the door. “It rings every day. What do you think?”

“Strong wind?” Shopkeeper Chang hesitated for a moment. “It seems that there are times when there is no wind outside and it rings for no reason. Could it be that there is some kind of mechanism inside?”

Seeing Shopkeeper Chang like that, Xie Qiao grinned. “It’s because that is the soul-summoning bell. It rings when a ghoul is near. When you hear it, there must be a ghoul coming up to the second floor as a customer, and I am listening to the ghoul’s request from above.”

In the past, she did not mention it because she was not familiar with the shopkeeper.

Now that he was working for her and he was great, it was time for him to know his boss’ secret.

When Shopkeeper Chang heard it, he laughed. “Boss, you’re joking, right?”

How come he had never seen it before? Besides, if there were so many ghouls, would he still be alive until now?

“That’s the truth. It’s fine if you don’t believe it, but you don’t have to think about it in the future. Although there are ghouls, my place is very powerful. There are dharma instruments and talismans everywhere. They wouldn’t dare to cause trouble here.” After saying that, Xie Qiao went upstairs.

There were still many requests from the ghouls that had not been registered.

Xie Qiao had just gone upstairs when the ringing of the bell came from the door.

Shopkeeper Chang’s heart skipped a beat. He walked to the door and stretched out his hand to feel the surroundings. Indeed, there was no wind at all!

Why was it ringing? Could it be that just as the boss said… A ghoul came?

In an instant, Shopkeeper Chang had goosebumps all over his body.

Fortunately, before he had time to drown himself in the scare, there was a customer in the shop.

Xie Pinghuai held a hundred taels of silver in his hand.

He had pawned the silver from his jade pendant and a few fur clothes. He had collected so much silver with great difficulty and borrowed some from his sister.

“Second Young Master Xie? Why are you here?” Shopkeeper Chang was very surprised.

Xie Pinghuai did not say much and only asked, “Do you have anything here that can be burned for the deceased…”

“Yes, there are many of them. Look at this place. There is no joss paper in this shop. Almost all of them are made of wood. The quality is good and can guarantee the comfort of the ancestors. This is a three-story building. It’s not bad, right? Earlier, some nobles bought this building and brought it home for the living. There are also some livestock here. What are you looking for? If you want something special, you can ask the boss to carve it herself,” Shopkeeper Chang heard that it was a business, and he immediately replied politely.

Xie Pinghuai thought for a moment. “How much… is the house?”

“The one with three courtyards is 200 taels of silver. I can give you a 30% discount.” Shopkeeper Chang smiled.

Xie Pinghuai frowned.

He could not afford it…

“Then I’ll get a small house. The one with one floor that only costs a few tens of taels of silver is enough. Also… get a dog. The smaller one is cheaper too. I need servants too, I need two of them. I have a hundred taels of silver, let me know if it’s enough…” Xie Pinghuai’s voice was dry.

Shopkeeper Chang immediately agreed.

The boss’ wood carvings were not easy to sell. Most of the people who came were high-ranking officials and nobles.

There were also some who bought items and collected them at home ignoring the taboo, such as Teacher Xiao.

This could be considered a big business.

“Second Young Master doesn’t look too well, what happened at home? Who are you burning these things for? You can leave the person’s name and address. My boss can burn it for you, and it will definitely be delivered to the deceased,” Shopkeeper Chang said with a smile..
