Chapter 92: Clear Accounts (Part 2)
Qiniang waved Fengbo's feather fan and sighed, "It's a great harvest."
Qi Xuansu asked his own question: "Qiniang, your last name is Yao?"
"Why, do you want to change your last name to Yao Xuansu?" Qiniang squinted at him, "It's not impossible, it sounds pretty good."
Qi Xuansu waved his hand and said, "Surname Qi is good."
Although Qiniang is like a mother, Master is also like a father, and there is always a first come first served rule. Who made him meet Master first?
Qi Xuansu asked again: "Qiniang, when did you become the owner of Qibaofang?"
Qiniang did not hide it: "I didn't become the owner of Qibaofang when I became the owner of Qibaofang. Before we met, I was already the owner of Qibaofang."
Qi Xuansu didn't know what to say for a while.
Qi Niang continued, "As for why I didn't tell you, it's mainly because I'm afraid you'll be a spendthrift."
"I'm a spendthrift?" Qi Xuansu muttered in a low voice, "You have to be a spendthrift. This little money is not enough to watch Li Qingnu dance, let alone a spendthrift."
Qiniang pretended to be stupid: "You want to watch Li Qingnu dance? No problem, as long as your Miss Zhang has no objection, I can let Qingnu dance for you alone, flower dance, sword dance, Huxuan dance, sixteen demon dance, colorful feather dance, four-sided Bodhisattva dance, five-sided lion dance, so that you can watch enough in one go."
Qi Xuansu coughed dryly: "I'm just making an analogy."
Qiniang said mischievously: "Don't be embarrassed, we are all family."
Qi Xuansu had to change the subject: "Qiniang, you fought with Wu Guangbi, are you okay?"
"How can Wu Guangbi, a mere Wu Guangbi, compete with me?" Qi Niang waved the feather fan in her hand, with a strong intention to command the world.
Qi Xuansu was a little confused about whether Qi Niang was just exaggerating or had something to rely on, so he asked: "Qiniang, not only you and Wu Guangbi are fighting for the 'Xuanyu', but Li Tianlan also wants it. Obviously, it is a good thing, but after I merged this 'Xuanyu', why can't I become a celestial being?"
Qiniang had expected this and explained patiently: "Generally speaking, there is no such thing as the 'Xuanyu' being exhausted, but this 'Xuanyu' is an exception. After all, it was a god who came to the world, so it directly caused this 'Xuanyu' to be almost exhausted. The good news is that the 'Xuanyu' can absorb the vitality of heaven and earth and slowly recover. The bad news is that it will take about 30 years for this 'Xuanyu' to fully recover."
Qi Xuansu immediately grasped the key point: "Li Changge can't wait for three years. Ten years, the Li family must have a way to shorten this time, otherwise they would not fight for this piece of "Xuanyu". "
Qiniang looked at Qi Xuansu approvingly and said: "This piece of "Xuanyu" corresponds to the inheritance of witches and gods, so the way is to use incense and vows to replace the vitality of heaven and earth to accelerate the recovery of "Xuanyu". As for the amount of incense and vows required, it is roughly equivalent to a third-grade spiritual official. "
Qi Xuansu said a little discouraged: "The Taoist sect strictly controls incense and vows. With the power of the Li family, it is easy to get some incense and vows, but for me, it is extremely difficult. "
Qiniang has always been half-free for Qi Xuansu, so she just patted Qi Xuansu on the shoulder: "Aren't you going to be promoted to a fourth-grade Taoist priest soon? It's not completely without a chance. "
Qi Xuansu's eyes lit up.
At this time last year, Qi Xuansu was still a seventh-grade Taoist priest without any position, but now he is about to be promoted to a fourth-grade Taoist priest, and he couldn't change his mind for a while.
As Qi Niang said, Qi Xuansu will soon become a high-quality Taoist priest. Although he cannot be compared with the Li family, he is not a commoner, and it is not that difficult to obtain incense and vows.
Qi Niang continued: "In fact, this piece of 'Xuanyu' also has its advantages. At least it helps you to get through the gate of heaven and man. I don't know how many people are stuck at the threshold of heaven and man, and they can't take that step. For these people, the door in front of them is closed, and they don't know where to go. But for you now, the gate of heaven and man has been opened, there is no threshold and bottleneck, and Zhang Yuelu is no different. Even if you don't have enough incense and vows, as long as you practice slowly, you can successfully enter the heaven and man in a few years."
Qi Xuansu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Qi Niang put away the feather fan and planned to say goodbye and leave.
Qi Xuansu grabbed Qi Niang's sleeve.
Qi Niang turned her head and looked at him: "Can't bear to leave your mother? How old are you."
While speaking, Qi Niang shook her sleeves again, trying to shake Qi Xuansu off.
Qi Xuansu held on tightly and said shamelessly: "Qiniang, since you are the owner of Qibaofang, can I use your name when I go to the black market to buy things in the future?"
"No." Qiniang refused, "Even if you use my name, I will never recognize it. I advise you to give up this idea."
Qi Xuansu still did not give up, and said: "Then can you say hello to the people below, and give me a discount when I go to the black market in the future. I don't want half price, 80% discount is enough."
"You wish." Qiniang threw Qi Xuansu away with one sleeve, "Even if you are my own son, you have to settle accounts clearly. Don't think about giving less."
Qi Xuansu understood Qiniang just as Qiniang understood him, and took a step back: "Qiniang, as long as you give me a discount, I will give you half of the money I save. Is this okay? It's better to keep the money within the family."
Qiniang was immediately moved, and could no longer refuse, so she had to tell the truth: "There are thousands of large and small black markets under the name of Qibaofang. If I go to a certain black market, I can say a word and issue a temporary order. , It’s not difficult. But if you want all black markets to give discounts, you must issue a formal order. Qibaofang implements a rotating system, and only the rotating owner has the authority to issue such an order.”
Qi Xuansu asked: "How often do you take turns?"
Qiniang held out three fingers: "Once every three years."
Qi Xuansu's heart immediately went cold. There are seven workshop leaders every three years, and one cycle lasts for twenty-one years. However, he still did not give up and asked: "Qiniang, when was the last time you were the rotating workshop leader?"
Qiniang smiled slightly: "The year I rescued you, I happened to step down as the rotating head of the workshop."
Qi Xuansu's mental arithmetic was completely cold. It would take more than ten years to wait until Qiniang became the rotating master of the workshop again. By that time, Zhang Yuelu is probably already a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, and may even be expected to become a lower-ranked Shenzhi Zhenren. He is at least a third-grade Youyi Taoist priest. It is not impossible to become a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest. Still care about this discount.
Qi Xuansu sighed deliberately: "That's all, it's just me tightening my belt a little more to make myself a little more miserable."
Qiniang was completely unmoved.
Qi Xuansu stopped pretending and said instead: "Qiniang, let's not talk about Qibaofang, let's talk about Qingpinghui. With your status, you can never be an ordinary second-class member. Your power in Qingpinghui is certain." Is it big?”
"What do you want to do?" Qiniang glanced at him sideways.
Qi Xuansu said cautiously: "The previous errands of the Qingping Association were all decided by you, right? In fact, there were no tasks assigned by the superiors at all."
Qiniang smiled half-heartedly and said, "So what if it is? So what if it's not?"
Qi Xuansu said: "If so, can I leave the Qingping Association? In fact, it's just a matter of your words. I can't ask for permission from the leader, right?"
Qiniang's face suddenly changed and she said angrily: "Okay, I really forgot about my mother when I had a wife."
Qi Xuansu said in astonishment: "What did you say?"
Qiniang said: "Isn't it because of Zhang Yuelu that you tried every possible means to get rid of the identity of Qingpinghui? You were afraid that she would see through this identity and fall out with you. Then why did you forget that I gave you this identity? Have you ever thought about me? Feel it?"
These words were so serious that Qi Xuansu didn't dare to smile anymore, so he stood up quickly and stood obediently. If this were the era when Confucianism was the leader, he would have to kneel down.
Qiniang took off her sunglasses, pretended to wipe her tears and said: "You tried every possible means to please Zhang Yuelu, and even gave up your life for her. Have you ever thought about it? I gave you this life. Have you ever thought about my feelings? What are you doing today? If you don't want the Qingpinghui status I gave you, then when you get rich in the future, do you have to dig out that side of your heart and completely draw a line with me, a secret society demon? Then you can become your Taoist disciple with no guilt? Real person, the daughter of the Zhang family who marries you, just pretend that she has never known a person like me."
Qi Xuansu's face turned red and he stammered: "I, I never thought about it that way."
Qiniang put on her sunglasses again and stood up to leave: "Whether you have thought about it or not, let it be."
Qi Xuansu quickly grabbed Qiniang's sleeve: "I really never thought about it like this. I will never mention this again."
Qiniang's back was turned to Qi Xuansu, the corners of her mouth curved, but her tone was still very serious: "It depends on your performance."
Qi Xuansu couldn't see Qiniang's expression and felt ashamed, and began to seriously reflect on himself.
Qiniang left here with a full harvest, humming a ditty: "Boy, fight with me, you are still very young."
