Rebirth 1983

Chapter 132 Welcome the God of Wealth

In this day and age, as long as you are courageous and courageous enough, eight or nine out of ten people can make a fortune.

It was because of Chen Song's courage and courage that he was able to accumulate the first pot of gold in the soybean incident!

On this day, after the four-person meeting broke up, Chen Song kept thinking.

Jiajiale Supermarket undoubtedly has a very good opportunity for expansion now, and now it has no rivals, so it is undoubtedly very suitable for expansion.

This county is a small county seat in the east of the province. Although it is relatively close to the provincial capital, the county is managed by a city next to the provincial capital, and its influence in this province is really average.

So even if Jiajiale Supermarket is extremely popular these days, its reputation is limited to this county, which belongs to the carnival of local people, and no one in the city is even interested in them, which seems a bit weird.

Chen Song also felt puzzled, the supermarket industry has always been easy to enter but difficult to operate!Although it is difficult to operate, most people still don't notice this with their eyesight. They only think that this business is successful and the money comes quickly!
Why did the big boss who got rich in the early years enter this industry to disrupt the situation?
Maybe it's really Zhou Jinyan's role. Most of the capable people want to do it. Due to Zhou Jinyan's existence, they won't forcefully enter this industry to grab food, and those who don't have the strength will naturally not be able to do it...

This also led to Chen Song's supermarket thriving in this province!

As soon as the matter of expanding and opening a branch appeared in Chen Song's mind, it got out of hand.

But now the new store has not been stabilized, and the cash flow is not enough, it is still a bit reluctant to open a branch, so Chen Song still keeps this idea in his heart.

During this period, the turnover, that is, the cash amount was 55, including profit and payment for goods. The payment for goods is now settled every month, unlike those supermarkets in later generations that gradually changed to three months, or even half a year, which made suppliers breathless.

In this era, supermarkets do not have such a strong downstream position and channel capabilities. After all, they are new channels. Those factories and suppliers also agreed to settle in January for the sake of Zhou Jinyan. Otherwise, they can only pay for the goods!
After deducting staff salaries and other expenses, there will be very little funds left in Jiajiale Supermarket's account. In addition, they have to reserve money for the next month, so they don't actually have much funds to use.

Of course, if he saves for a few months and has enough money, Chen Song can still implement the new store expansion plan!

It seems that I still have to find a way to get another batch of money, otherwise I always feel uneasy.

……

In the evening, Chen Song asked the staff to buy a lot of things needed to welcome the God of Wealth tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow is the fifth day of the first lunar month, commonly known as Po Wu Festival. In our country's folklore, it is believed that many taboos before the Spring Festival can be broken after the fifth day of the first lunar month, so it is named Po Wu.

In many places in the north, dumplings are still eaten on Po Wu.Of course, northerners like to eat dumplings no matter what the festival is!The locality is in a water town in the south, so the ceremony is naturally different from that in the north, but the pursuit of welcoming the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the lunar new year, getting rid of bad luck, and achieving great luck are the same, all for the sake of getting a good fortune.

In fact, the so-called receiving the God of Wealth is nothing more than a custom during the Chinese New Year. From ancient times to the present, no matter who the God of Wealth is, people will carry out such an activity on the fifth day of the first lunar month every year. It is nothing more than hoping that through their devout prayers, they can get a good sign for the new year, so as to give themselves spiritual comfort.

Future generations like Chen Song don't believe in this for a long time, but they can't stand everyone doing it. Chen Song can only do it according to everyone's wishes, which can be regarded as a psychological comfort for everyone.

I told everyone to close the door early today, and to carry out a general cleaning in various places, which is equivalent to getting rid of bad luck.

"Daniu, this way!" Chen Song greeted, and Daniu walked over quickly after hearing it.

"It's been a few days since we opened, I've always forgotten, I have to invite a God of Wealth back, otherwise tomorrow's protagonist will be gone!"

"Oh, yes, we don't have a God of Wealth yet. It's a sin to just buy things for the ceremony!" Daniel felt guilty a few times.

"Okay, let's go, please invite Guan Erye!"

There are many Gods of Wealth, such as Zhao Gongming in Fengshen Yanyi, the God of Wealth who is also called Zhao Xuantan, the God of Martial Wealth who is related to the second master after his death, and the God of Wealth who is known as the King of Wealth and Silk.

The most popular among the people is Zhao Xuantan. Many shops and residences enshrine his woodblock printing statues.

But most people who do business still prefer Guan Erye, the God of Wealth.

Legend has it that Guan Yunchang was in charge of the soldiers and horses station. He was good at counting, and the invention day was thin.

After Daniel agreed, he hurried out of the supermarket, ready to find someone to welcome Second Master Guan back.

The second day, the fifth day of the first lunar month.

At 8:58 in the morning, the auspicious time of the zodiac.

Everyone gathered at the entrance of the supermarket with all the employees!

"Share this thing among everyone, and wear it all on your wrists when welcoming the God of Wealth. It will definitely bring good luck."

Chen Song took out a pocket, took out a yellow paper-wrapped talisman and handed it to each of us. On it was printed in red letters Guan Erye sitting on the gold ingot, and a red string flowed out of the paper-wrapped talisman, which was convenient for everyone to wear.

"Thank you." Daniel took the paper-wrapped talisman with both hands, like a believer, hung it on his wrist very piously, carefully.

Daniu used to travel all over the world, and he believed in this very much. He not only wanted to be auspicious, but also wanted to be able to stand out and earn money to do what he wanted to do.

Wang Yao and Zhou Wanyan also took advantage of the opportunity to put on the paper-wrapped talisman, and stood quietly behind Chen Song.

"Okay! Ready!"

There is an incense table in front of the steps directly in front of the entrance of the supermarket, with two candles on it, followed by a sheep's head and a carp.The sheep's head represents "auspiciousness", and the homonym of "fish" and "yu" in carp symbolizes "more than auspicious" and "more than every year".

In addition to the sacrifices, a pile of thick and long yellow incense was placed on the incense table.

Because of the great posture, many guests were attracted to watch the ceremony before it even started.

This kind of ceremony to welcome the God of Wealth is not very popular in the county anymore. At most, a few firecrackers will be set off, and then a string of firecrackers will be set off to welcome the God of Wealth.
"It's time! Darling, burn the paper!"

Daniel immediately burned the yellow paper in the brazier next to him, and before inviting the God of Wealth, he had to worship the sky. Chen Song took the yellow incense and lit the candle and began to pray to the sky.

There is a square copper basin on the left side of the altar, and the four corners of the copper basin are dragon heads, which represent the green dragon drinking water.

On the right is a bronze statue of a tiger with its tail raised fiercely, representing a white tiger flicking its tail.

"Going to Qinglongmen, you will have good fortune every day, bang!" Chen Song's voice was full of energy, and just after he finished speaking, a firecracker rushed into the sky, and there was a burst of thunder like a drought.

All the people behind Chen Song clasped their hands together and bowed in the direction of offering, and then everyone took a little water from the basin and sprinkled it on themselves.

Pray for good luck to come, hoping to get rid of bad luck.

"White tiger flicks its tail, business is booming!"

With the sound of firecrackers, everyone bowed to the God of Wealth at the altar, and then everyone took turns touching the bronze statue of the white tiger.

Pray for the patronage of the God of Wealth, hoping to get rich and rich.

"The blue dragon is ten thousand zhang, and the fortune is prosperous! The white tiger guards the gate, and everything will be prosperous! Crack!"

Everyone bowed for the third time, Daniel lifted the brazier, and everyone grabbed a handful of hot sand from the brazier and put them in their pockets.Then some employees moved a few fortune trees to both sides of the entrance of the supermarket.

"There is sand in your pocket, wealth comes home, there is a tree behind you, the God of Wealth visits you! Welcome the God of Wealth!"

With a loud voice from Chen Song, Daniel personally stepped forward to pick up Erye Guan who was on the altar table, and walked slowly towards the supermarket.

Someone nearby hastily lit a string of firecrackers, and the sound of crackling was heard immediately, and the smoke from the firecrackers permeated the air, full of festive atmosphere.

The whole process was very fast. The statue of the God of Wealth was moved into the hall by Daniel and placed there. Chen Song and others offered incense and bowed, implying that the God of Wealth would bless the God of Wealth, which was equivalent to welcoming the God of Wealth.

Behind them, many spectators followed in and bowed as well, wanting to get some money.
