My main profession is feng shui, and cooking is just a passion of mine. I mainly focus on Shandong Cuisine and am not very familiar with Hunan Cuisine. However, I do know about dishes like Clay Pot Chicken and Spicy Fried Chicken Gizzards. My Master once mentioned that Spicy Stir-Fried Chicken Offal is quite good, but I haven't tried making it myself.
Shi Tian spoke sincerely; his main job really is feng shui. He can also read faces, but when it comes to fortune-telling using the Four Pillars and Eight Trigrams, he only understands a bit and doesn't meet the standards set by Yi Laotou. Yi Laotou wouldn't allow him to deceive people on the street either.
Even if he were allowed, Shi Tian wouldn't do it. As a true second-generation rich kid, he has a powerful backer in Shi Ye. He wouldn't bother selling fish for a few hundred dollars a pound, let alone engage in superstitious practices for a few bucks.
"You're into feng shui? You should come with me to the mountains one day to help me pick a spot. I've never been out of this area in my life; I just love this place. Once I'm gone, I want to be buried somewhere nice so I can rest comfortably!"
If cooking is that impressive, then his main profession must be equally good. Finding a piece of feng shui land usually costs hundreds, and those who do it are often amateurs. Now that he's found someone who seems reliable and is offering it for free, Old Zhou won't miss this opportunity.
"Uncle Zhou, that's not my area of expertise. I only deal with the living, not the dead—I'm all about dealing with the living!"
"If you want to find a good feng shui spot, I'll need to study under my Master for a few more years. Looking at your health, you should be able to hold on for another twenty or thirty years without any problem. Once I've finished my studies, I'll definitely help you find a comfortable place!"
With a twitch of his lips, Old Zhou was quite straightforward; he immediately started discussing arrangements for his own funeral.
"What’s the difference? Aren't the living and the dead all part of the same thing?" He had a point—one is residential land while the other is commercial land. The prices are similar and both come with property management, but their uses are somewhat different; fundamentally, they still have their distinctions!
After teasing him a bit, Old Zhou smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to worry about what happens after I'm gone; just take care of what's happening now! When I was younger, I went to Liu Banxian for a fortune-telling session. He told me I was fated to be poor my whole life—can you check if that's true?"
Liu Banxian has aged over the past two years and doesn't have many years left. If what he said is true, then fine; if he's lying, I should consult him while he's still alive! I can't wait until he's buried before bothering him—that would be too disrespectful!
Old Zhou's words startled Shi Tian into shivering. No wonder Yi Laotou didn't let him practice on just anyone; it seems there's real risk involved! A single statement can change someone's life—Liu Banxian's words were too absolute! It was clear he was inexperienced! How could one make money if they spoke so definitively?
While it's possible to speak in dangerous terms—making them more enticing for people to spend money—if one makes absolute statements, that could lead to trouble! Not only would they fail to earn money, but they could also attract disaster!
Shi Tian thought Liu Banxian must have been quite lucky to survive this long without understanding basic persuasion techniques! Plus, Old Zhou was being too straightforward; when Liu Banxian said he was fated to be poor, wasn't that just because he was eyeing Old Zhou's wallet? If Old Zhou had asked for more clarification, solutions would have emerged immediately—otherwise, how would Liu Banxian make money?
"Uncle Zhou," Shi Tian asked with a smile while looking at Old Zhou's serious face, "did you not ask him how to break that curse? You see, I know your financial fortune isn't great just by looking at your face; you don't have proper wealth or side wealth."
"Even if there's nothing in your fate now, having good luck can still make a difference! In twenty years' time, you'll have ten years of proper wealth and ten years of side wealth—you’re due for some good fortune! With your proper wealth luck comes romance as well; Xiao Fu will bring you some excitement in the coming years!"
