Chapter 104 No Wonder Yousre Poor (1/2)
”What a handsome guy!” Long Fei was overjoyed, how could he see that Hao Ning, who was at his side, had already fainted from happiness, ”You're straightforward!”
”Wait!” Liu Shuai suddenly felt that Long Fei had set a trap for him, so he asked hurriedly, ”You still haven't told me how much your Dragon King's Temple's sea lanterns cost? If it's too much, I won't be able to afford it! ”
”Ah?” ”If that's the case...” Long Fei was disappointed when he heard it, and said hesitatingly, ”About this, it might be a little expensive, one piece is five cents, and at least 10 pieces, which is exactly fifty cents, but if you think it's expensive, then I can ask that old monk in his dream to give you a little discount… …”
”What the...” Liu Shuai laughed when he heard it, ”Fifty cents? Ten sea lanterns of the Dragon King's Temple? Do you know how much the other temple's sea lanterns cost? ”
”How much?” Long Fei was very nervous, ”Thirty cents?” After saying that, he hurriedly boasted, ”This is different, a wish made in the Dragon King's Temple would be fulfilled. I can give you rain, windblast, Lightning, and children as you wish. I can take over all these businesses. Moreover, you can even decide the gender of your babies.” Long Fei thought for a moment and said, ”Hmm, but choosing a girl might cost you extra two Yuan, I've heard the pilgrims muttering that right now having a boy is not a good idea, because parents have to spend more when the boys grow up.”
”Hahaha,” the more Hao Ning heard, the more amused he became. If people knew that Long Fei's temple only charges two dollars for deciding the gender of a baby, who would bother that much to ask a doctor, ”Two Yuan? Two Yuan? Is this a two-Yuan store? Is it your slogan --Two Yuan only, you won't lose much?”
”He-he,” Long Fei lowered his head and laughed embarrassedly, ”If you want to have more babies, I can give you a discount ….”
”Pfft, who would want to give birth to so many? They can't even afford to raise them —” Liu Shuai couldn't help to laugh, ”Ah, my good Long Fei, you deserved to starve to death. You don't know the price at all. An ordinary lamp outside would cost dozens of cents, if you were in Mountain Lojia — ”After he said this, Liu Shuai suddenly remembered that the real Mountain Lojia was in Zhang Chi Hang's office, so he changed his tone,” That fake Mountain Lojia, a sea lantern would cost more than a few Yuan. If you charge only five cents here, it might not even be enough to pay for the oil!
”I heard that they used hogwash oil …” Long Fei blushed as he muttered, ”I heard it was so cheap.”
”Ah, what the…,” Hao Ning laughed even harder, ”You brought rain to people just asking for a hogwash oil sea lantern for five cents. Aren't you afraid of dying from the smoke? ”
”Fifty cents!” Long Fei was embarrassed from laughing, and corrected Hao Ning, ”You have to get at least ten sea lanterns! If you can't pay fifty cents, you can only get windy weather! It must be fifty cents for getting rain! ”
”Hahaha,” Hao Ning laughed out loud. ” Cast rain only with fifty cents, you should be called Mr. fifty cents.
”That's right, I'm Mr. fifty cents,” Long Fei said happily when he heard the name. He didn't have much experience with such things in the world, so he was unable to understand the meaning behind Hao Ning's words. ”What a nice name!” Then he frowned and said in a low voice, ”It's not like I didn't know that the price is a little bit low, but it's good enough that my temple was not demolished. I'm already satisfied that there are still people willing to guard there. I don't even know how many years I have saved for the Formless Donation to gain consciousness, so I treasure every single person who came to make wishes and the incense that they used to worship me. ”
”Hmm …” Suddenly, Liu Shuai felt that Long Fei was a little pitiful. He was also deeply moved about how this heartless dragon managed to live through these few years. Then he thought about himself because he has never had a father, he had been teased all these years, and so did his mother. It turned out that being a human was not easy and it wasn't easy being a god either. He sneezed a bit, tried to hide his sadness from Long Fei and tried to make some fun, ”And now you are working, you can get many sea lanterns simply by a month's salary.”
”Useless...” Long Fei scratched his head, ”How can I burn incense for myself? It has to be a mortal.” Then, Long Fei became excited again, ”When the time comes, remember to give me some wishes, whether you want to have children or the wind and rain, it's all fine.”
”A loser like me doesn't even have a wife, what makes you think that I will beg for a having a child.” Liu Shuai smiled bitterly as he thought to himself. He did not say anything and only said, ”Don't worry, I will ensure you have enough sea lanterns.”
