233 Chapter 223 tower of Zhou
“Pilipala! Pilipala! Pilipala! Pilipala! Pilipala!”
Two strings of firecrackers, several meters long, exploded in front of the door. The fire splashed everywhere, and red flowers covered the ground. This huge movement attracted the attention of the pedestrians on the street.
Xia ping ‘an, who was dressed in a long green robe, stood at the door with an elegant demeanor. Under the gaze of the surrounding people, he cupped his hands and bowed to the surrounding people with a smile.
After the firecrackers had finished exploding, the surrounding people gathered around. Xia Pingan took out a handful of copper coins and, according to Shangjing’s customs, scattered them on the red paper fragments on the ground at the entrance, causing many children on the street to come over and snatch them. It was very happy. Then, Xia Pingan pulled down the red rope beside him and uncovered the signboard.
On the black plaque, there were three large words shining in the sun,”Zhou Gong building.” It was quite stylish.
As the signboard was unveiled, the couplets on both sides of the door were also removed. There were ten words on each side of the door, and when they were connected together, they read-” dreams come one after another at night, the soul foretells good or bad luck. The matter of The Witcher Gorge had to be resolved.
Ah, so it’s The Dream Master’s Taowu! the onlookers saw the couplets and immediately understood.
hahaha, this Dream Master is really gutsy. This place is not far from master shuiyue’s carefree tower, yet he dares to open another one on Tianyuan bridge. Isn’t he afraid of running out of business? ”
I heard that the owner of this courtyard has changed a few days ago. He’s rich, what can you do about it? ”
The surrounding people discussed animatedly.
“Boss, how much do you charge for each time?” Someone among the onlookers asked loudly.
Xia Pingan didn’t say anything. He just coughed twice and gave a look behind him. The CAO Cao girl, who had been waiting excitedly for her appearance, immediately took out a sign and placed it at the door. There were also eight words on the sign: ” a dream of a hundred taels of gold, no bargaining.
The onlookers were instantly in an uproar as they were all dumbfounded!
“Is he crazy? 100 gold coins for each dream? master shuiyue’s dream only costs 30 gold coins each time. Does this guy think he’s better than master shuiyue?”
there is no dream interpretation master in Shangjing who can offer such an expensive price!
“Could this person be a liar?”
Xia ping ‘an cupped his hands in obeisance and went back inside without further explanation.
The interior of the building was renovated from a shopfront. At the entrance was a marble porch and green plants. After going around the porch, they reached the outer hall, which had a table and a place to receive people for tea, chatting, and reading. After passing through the outer hall, they reached the inner hall, which was in the courtyard. It was secretly and quietly decorated. There were many bamboos planted around it, making it very stylish. The layout was a bit like a high-end Medical Hall for patients.
It was already May 28th. It had been almost two weeks since the battle at Beihai Harbor of the blood demon church. In these two weeks, the courtyard that Xia Pingan had bought at Tianyuan bridge had been renovated and decorated. Some furniture had been added, and it looked completely new today. It was officially open for business.
A few days ago, someone had to keep an eye on the renovation of this courtyard. Xia Pingan felt that it was too time-consuming for him to keep an eye on it, delaying his cultivation and fusion of the realm beads. In addition, he had another ” domineering female tenant ” in Changle alley. Xia Pingan, in line with the principle of making the best use of everything, handed some work to Cao Cao and let Cao Cao keep an eye on the renovation of the courtyard.
She didn’t expect Cao Cao to be so interested in this job. When she heard that Xia Pingan had arranged a job for her, she was actually very excited. She accepted the job without hesitation and began to work seriously for Xia Pingan.
Cao Cao looked carefree and inexperienced, but since there were people secretly watching and protecting Cao Cao, Xia ping ‘an didn’t have to worry about Cao Cao’s safety.
In this way, two weeks later, that Cao Cao girl had unknowingly gotten together with Xia Pingan and became Xia Pingan’s assistant.
Today was the grand opening of the building of great Zhou, and Cao Cao looked even more excited than Xia ping ‘an. She had woken up before dawn to put on makeup and dress herself up. Today, she was wearing a green dress, like a lotus in a pool, slender and elegant, and exceptionally lively.
don’t you think 100 gold coins is too expensive? what if no one comes? ” The two of them came to the inner hall and said to Xia Pingan hastily. His tone was a little worried, ” in Shangjing, many people can’t even earn 100 gold coins a year, right? ”
Cao Cao didn’t seem to have any concept of gold coins before. It was only after spending time with Xia Pingan that she seemed to slowly understand the value of a gold coin.
100 gold coins per dream interpretation, is it expensive? It was indeed very expensive for ordinary people, but for the rich, it was worth it as long as they could really predict good and bad luck.
Master shuiyue’s mediocre dream-deciphering skills had also made a name for himself in Shangjing. On the surface, each dream-deciphering attempt only cost 30 gold coins. However, those who sought master shuiyue’s help actually spent far more than that.
He was the disciple of the Duke of Zhou, a great success in the ancient Chinese Dream-deciphering culture. If someone like him were to be placed in the ancient times, he would definitely be more than enough to be a dream-deciphering official in the palace. 100 gold coins for you to unravel a dream, you’re just lucky, just be happy!
Moreover, the 100 gold coins per dream release was the best advertisement. There would definitely be people who would want to try it out.
The dream-deciphering Hall of the Duke of Zhou took an absolutely high-end route, one that was even more high-end than master shuiyue. Xia Pingan’s goal was to make himself the number one dream-deciphering expert in Shangjing city and even the great Shang country. 100 gold coins was just the beginning. Once he had gained a reputation, 1000 gold coins for each dream would not be a big problem.
Of course, there was no need to say these words to Cao Cao.
if you think it’s expensive, then don’t take your Commission. I can even give the customers a discount of one gold coin. Actually, if it’s 99 gold coins, there might be more people coming, ” Xia Pingan said to Cao Cao like a black-hearted boss.
“Don’t you dare!” She glared at Xia ping ‘an with her hands on her hips and said angrily, ” you said that I was here to receive your guests and that I would be paid one gold coin for each guest. Are you trying to be shameless? this is my job. A job is to earn money. Don’t think that I don’t understand this!
Hehe, you know too much!
miss Cao Cao, watch your attitude. You are now a waiter of the Duke of Zhou building and I am the manager. How can a waiter talk to the manager like that? ” Xia Pingan said.
Cao Cao’s attitude immediately eased, but he still pouted. I don’t care. In short, I can’t lose a single copper coin. If you dare to deduct my salary, I won’t let you off!
“Alright, I won’t give you a single copper. I’ll ask you again, do you know what to do?”
Humph, of course I know. When the guests come, I will ask them to wait in the outer parlor so that I can chat with them. When I enter the inner parlor, if I see the Black Dragon roaring, you must be in secluded cultivation in the basement and don’t want to be disturbed. Then, I will pull the rope Bell to remind you. After that, I will come out and ask the guests to wait for a while to kill time. If the Black Dragon doesn’t roar, I can bring the guests in so that you can interpret their dreams. If there are too many guests, I will issue a number plate to them and ask them to line up. It’s that simple. I understand it as soon as you tell me!
“Not bad, you’re not stupid!”
Speaking of the number plates, Cao Cao seemed to have thought of something again. He asked doubtfully, ” by the way, why did you only prepare three number plates? aren’t you going to prepare more? what if there are too many guests? ”
“The fewer things you have, the more precious they are. The harder it is to obtain, the more precious they are. If you want to make money, you have to study the psychology of the customers. For those who are willing to spend 100 gold coins to solve a dream, you have to make them feel proud and different. If you are like master shuiyue, you will be at a disadvantage. From now on, I will only solve the dreams of three people a day. You can give those three tokens to whoever you want. A number plate that lets me unravel dreams can be sold for hundreds of gold coins outside!”
Cao Cao looked at Xia ping ‘an suspiciously. Yingluo, you really know how to interpret dreams. Why do I feel that you’re here to cheat me of my money? ”
Xia Pingan glared at Cao Cao and said, ” alright, remember to bring someone to the inner hall in the courtyard when they come. I’ll leave this place to you!
After speaking, Xia Pingan left Cao Cao there and left the outer hall alone, returning to the courtyard.
The inner hall was rather quiet, and the Black Dragon was guarding it. Xia Pingan knew that no one would come for a while, so she went into the basement and began to merge with the realm beads.
These days, Xia ping ‘an had not been idle. He had been buying and fusing some realm beads that had not been fused in the night market of Tianyuan bridge.
At this moment, the divine power in Xia Pingan’s Secret mandala was already at 2117 points. In a few days, Xia Pingan would be able to steadily advance to the three sun realm.
