Chapter 208: Chapter 208: The Ancestor Begins Selling Talismans Now
“Right, yesterday you mentioned that you can sell Talismans online?” Jiangli added from the side, “Then just clearly state the price for each Talisman Paper, as well as my fee for making house calls. If they’re willing to visit Jiaoyang Temple to offer incense, I’ll read their faces for free. If they want other services, I’ll charge, but the rest will be discounted.”
Xia Xin’s eyes lit up and he couldn’t help but give Jiangli a big thumbs up.
“Ancestor, you’re a business genius!”
Jiangli furrowed his brow, “I’m alive and kicking, how did I become a ‘genius’?”
“No, no, that ‘genius’, it’s a compliment, praising you, Ancestor, for being very smart, like a prodigy!” Xia Xin almost bit his tongue, didn’t want Jiangli to misunderstand and hurriedly explained.
Jiangli let out a hum of acknowledgment, “That’s more like it. By the way, when are you going to school?”
Xia Xin was typing, and upon hearing this, his heart trembled.
Seeing him silent, Jiangli pressed on, “I’m talking to you, deaf or what?”
“No, it’s not…” Xia Xin took a step back quietly, putting on a sheepish smile, “Ancestor, I just remembered, we’re on summer vacation now, there’s no need for me to go to school…”
Jiangli paused, his eyes narrowing slightly, “Summer vacation?”
“Right, it’s like a break. After studying continuously for several months, we get to rest for a while. The break in summer is called summer vacation, and in winter, it’s… winter vacation.” Xia Xin smiled extra sweetly, “Ancestor, I just forgot for a moment yesterday…”
Jiangli cracked a slight smile, “Is that so?”
Just as Xia Xin was about to nod, his vision darkened.
A slap landed on his head.
“You little brat, trying to deceive me?”
Jiangli was not a fool; he could easily tell that Xia Xin was shirking work yesterday, not wanting to look into Lin Yurong’s matters, and had intentionally made up an excuse!
Xia Xin’s neck shrank from the slap, and he couldn’t help but wince, “Ow ow ow, Ancestor, that hurts!”
“If it doesn’t hurt, you won’t remember!” Jiangli snorted coldly.
Xia Xin felt aggrieved, “I’m already quite slow-witted, Ancestor, if you hit me again, I’ll become even more daft…”
Jiangli chuckled coldly twice, “Don’t worry, that brain of yours has never been sharp, it can’t get any worse than it already is.”
About to cry but with no tears.
Jiangli gave him a scornful look, “Get to work! If you try to be slick with me again, you’ll stand in the courtyard, under the blazing sun, in a horse stance!”
Xia Xin glanced at the scorching sun outside, didn’t dare to protest, and quickly followed Jiangli’s instructions, setting up a price list and posting it.
He also explained that there would be discounts for those who came to Jiaoyang Temple to offer incense, and each day there would be five free slots available online.
As soon as the new post went live, the comment section exploded.
[Holy shit! Ten thousand for a Talisman Paper?! Are you robbing us?!]
[That’s ruthless! The abbot of Huguo Temple in B City charges only three thousand for a Talisman. You want ten thousand, you might as well rob a bank!]
[This Talisman price is quite normal! The abbot of Huguo Temple isn’t a specialist, after all. When it comes to Talismans, you have to look to the Taoist Sect! Go find out how much the masters of Dragon Tiger Mountain charge for a good Talisman!]
[Exactly, the price of this Talisman is actually okay. As long as it really brings safety, paying ten thousand to save your life is a bargain when you think about it.]
[Why are you all focused on how much the Talisman Paper costs? Am I the only one concerned about the five free slots released each day?]
[You’re not alone upstairs, I’m also watching that!]
[Yeah, those five free slots sound so sweet! I think this Abbot is quite conscientious! If it were someone else, after hyping it up so much, they definitely would just start charging, but giving away free slots?]
