Even though Chen Yu's fortune telling price was several times higher than the other fortune-tellers around him, some people shook their heads and left after hearing this. However, there was still a portion of people who chose to stay.
Moreover, because there were too many people reading fortunes, it formed a strange sight of queuing up to read fortunes.
" This, this…?"
Old Master Luo, who was beside him, could not help but gape. He could not close his mouth for a long time.
The price was five to six times, or even seven to eight times higher than theirs, and there were still so many people willing to watch!
Previously, he was still pitying Chen Yu and teaching him by example. Now, he couldn't be pitiful at all!
This was because Chen Yu's income from reading fortunes was several times that of theirs. In fact, Chen Yu's fee for reading a person's fortune was equivalent to almost a day's worth of their fees, or even more than a day's worth.
After the shock, Old Master Luo was envious.
The fortune-tellers on both sides of the street were also looking at Chen Yu, who was surrounded by everyone, with envy and jealousy, especially Zhang Dana, who had just been rejected by Yinan.
Yinan was obviously very rich. This could be a very lucrative deal, but because of Chen Yu, he was rejected by Yinan.
At this moment, when he saw Chen Yu's flourishing business and his extremely cold self, who had no customers at all, he already hated Chen Yu to death.
"Hmph, what's so great about it? Wasn't it just meeting a person who was easy to fool! That was how he became famous.”
Big Boss Zhang said sourly as he looked at Chen Yu, who was collecting money non-stop.
He had thought that Chen Yu was just like them, a person who relied on his mouth to make a living. It was only by chance that he had met Yinan, a person who was easy to fool, and had contributed to Chen Yu's fame.
"Master Zhang, you're right!"
"In terms of ability, he's probably not even half as good as us!”
"fortune-telling is a matter of age. Look at that kid's still wet behind the ears. How much weight does he have in his stomach?”
A few fortune-tellers who had been following Big Boss Zhang earlier and also wanted to get a share of Chen Yu's profits also said sourly.
Unfortunately, no matter how jealous and unwilling they were, Chen Yu's business was still as prosperous as ever.
An hour later, Chen Yu had seen about 15 people. Including Yinan, he had a total of 16 people. Each person had 500 yuan, which was 8000 yuan. In just two hours, Chen Yu had earned 8000 yuan.
"I'm sorry, I'm closing up for today! If you want to see my fortune, come again next time.”
Seeing that it was already 8:30 p. m., it was no longer considered early. After waiting in line for an hour, Chen Yu finally arrived before a well-dressed old woman with dyed hair.
"Young man, why aren't you watching anymore? You have such good fortune reading!"
"That's right! Do you have too little spare money? If you have too little spare money, it doesn't matter, we can increase it!”
"That's right! They had been queuing for almost an hour.”
…………。
Upon hearing Chen Yu say that he wasn't going to watch, the 20 - 30 people who were still lining up in front of him immediately shouted.
This was because Chen Yu truly had real talent. Those who had looked for Chen Yu to have their physiognomy read just now all said that Chen Yu's reading was accurate. Hence, these people were so attentive.
Nowadays, it was easy to find a fortune-teller, but to find an expert that could be encountered but not sought, it depended on luck.
Although there were many fortune-tellers on West Gate Street, most of them were useless and relied on this " mouth cannon " to make a living. As for how many real people there were, everyone around them knew very well.
"It's getting late. I really have something to do. Uncles and aunties, come again next time!”
Hearing the customers 'pleas, Chen Yu hesitated for a moment. However, a moment later, he said firmly,"
He really had a lot of things to do. Not only did he have to buy cinnabar, talisman paper, and brush to practice drawing talismans, but he also had to rent a house and look at it. If possible, he would move in tonight. He really could not delay any longer.
"Young man, are you still coming tomorrow?”
The old granny grabbed Chen Yu's arm, afraid that Chen Yu wouldn't come.
"Come! Come! Come! Grandma, don't be agitated."
Looking at this agitated old granny, Chen Yu hurriedly smiled bitterly.
"That's good."
Upon hearing Chen Yu say that he would come again tomorrow, the old granny immediately relaxed a lot and loosened her grip.
"Everyone, go back first! I'll be back at five o'clock tomorrow night. Everyone can come earlier.”
Chen Yu said after putting away the cloth and placing it into his black backpack.
After saying that, he squeezed through the crowd and disappeared into the bustling crowd.
When the fortune-teller beside him saw that his arch-enemy, Chen Yu, had finally left, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. With Chen Yu here, how could they still have business to do?!
Whenever a customer arrived, they would run over to Chen Yu's stall after seeing how lively it was. In addition, after hearing the rumors from the people queuing up, saying that Chen Yu was a god, these people all stood guard in front of Chen Yu's stall.
After leaving the fortune-telling stall, Chen Yu didn't leave immediately. Instead, he went to the " Auspicious Shroud Shop " he visited yesterday.
"What do you want?"
As soon as Chen Yu entered the room, he saw that it wasn't the middle-aged woman from last time. Instead, it was a strange old woman wearing a purple embroidered vest with her hair tied into two braids. Her eyes were fixed on the television not far away, and she was holding a bowl of white rice porridge with some black pickles in it. She looked like she was having supper. When she heard Chen Yu's footsteps, the strange old woman didn't even raise her head.
"I want a brush, cinnabar, and yellow paper. Do you have any here?”Chen Yu said.
"You bought these to draw talismans, right? The best way to draw talismans was to use a wolf-hair brush. A good wolf-hair brush cost 100 yuan, cinnabar was 10 yuan per gram, and yellow paper was 20 yuan per stack.”
the old woman said as she raised her head and glanced at Chen Yu.
"Then give me a wolf-hair brush, half a catty of cinnabar, and five stacks of yellow paper.”
Chen Yu said after giving it some thought.
"One wolf hair brush costs 100 yuan, half a catty of cinnabar costs 2,500 yuan, and five stacks of yellow paper costs 100 yuan.”
the old woman said.
Chen Yu's heart ached a little. He had lost one-third of the money he had just received. He then took out the money he had received from the fortune-telling from his black backpack and counted 27 100-yuan notes before handing them to the old woman.
After receiving the money, the old woman went to the backyard to retrieve the items. However, other than the Weasel Brush and cinnabar, the yellow paper was too large. Chen Yu could only ask the old woman for a blue plastic bag to carry it.
While he was shopping, Chen Yu had a familiar feeling. He sensed the same aura as his on this old woman's body. Chen Yu guessed that this old woman should also be a cultivator. Moreover, her cultivation was probably higher than his.
After buying his things, Chen Yu exited the West Gate Street. There were no longer any public buses available, so he could only hail a taxi back to the university. In any case, a few dozen yuan was nothing to him now.
However, he did not return to the school dormitory directly. Instead, he wandered around the school and looked for a house.
In fact, there were many small rooms for university couples to rent around every university.
Currently, Chen Yu wasn't short of money. He rented a relatively decent two-bedroom suite. The interior had been renovated, and it had a washing machine, air conditioner, refrigerator, bed, sofa, and other furniture. As long as he carried his bag, he could move in. Of course, the rent wasn't cheap, either. With the monthly rent of 2,500 yuan, he would lose the 5,000 yuan once more after paying the rent for each month.
After signing the rental agreement with the landlord, the landlord handed the keys to Chen Yu, indicating that he could move in at any time.
