Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

After weighing the options, it's clear that following them would be more in one's own interest.

Moreover, judging from the girl's quirky and clever appearance, she must be an interesting person.

Although this funeral parlor specializes in funeral services, with such a headmaster, it shouldn't be boring.

Chapter 3 This coffin is prepared for you

The young leader wasn't fooled by Jiang Bai's sudden aloofness. Instead, she looked at him in surprise. "Do you know what we do? You're going to follow me? What if we're some kind of underworld organization that specializes in sending people to their deaths?"

"I know." Jiang Bai nodded. "The older brothers just told me."

Although the name "Wangsheng Hall" does sound a bit like a gangster organization at first glance, Jiang Bai, as one of the protagonists who was almost sent to his death by them, naturally knows that this "Wangsheng" is not that "Wangsheng".

Although he didn't remember many things, after thinking about it, these common sense facts came to mind.

"So you still want to come with us? Aren't you afraid of what might happen?" Hu Tao tilted her head.

They don't have many staff at the funeral parlor, and most of them are elderly people who have been doing it for a long time. This is mainly because many people are averse to this line of work, since it involves contact with the dead, and many people are quite afraid of it.

Jiang Bai did not rush to answer Hu Tao's question, but pondered it carefully.

Clearly, how he answers this question will determine how the girl treats him.

Whether he becomes an ordinary disciple of the Hall of Rebirth or is favored by them depends on his answer.

Judging from the girl's quirky and clever manner, the importance she placed on the funeral, and her solemn expression at that time, she must have a detached view of life and death; otherwise, her personality could not have been so lively.

However, she also valued the ceremony very much; otherwise, she wouldn't have continued to preside over the funeral without delay after such a thing as a corpse coming back to life.

After a brief analysis, Jiang Bai had a plan in mind.

"Funerals and funerals are the last dignified act a person should have. Why should we be ashamed of them? We are here for a lifetime, and when we die, we are the ones who will put the final words on our lives. This is a good deed."

Hearing Jiang Bai's words, Hu Tao's eyes lit up with disbelief, and she became more and more satisfied with Jiang Bai the more she looked at him.

She rushed to the coffin, patted Jiang Bai on the shoulder, and said in an old-fashioned tone, "Not bad, not bad! This hall master is very satisfied with your awareness!"

In this day and age, there aren't many young people with this awareness anymore!

If everyone in Liyue Harbor thought like that, their Rebirth Hall business would be worry-free!

"Jiang Bai, right! From now on, you'll follow me, and I'll train you well!" Hu Tao patted his chest, and that was the end of it.

"Thank you, Master."

Jiang Bai's eyes crinkled into crescents; his goal had been achieved.

Seeing Jiang Bai's gentle and obedient demeanor, Hu Tao waved her hand and decided to take good care of this little brother from now on, and make sure to cultivate him into another rising star of the Hall of Rebirth besides herself!

"Let's go, I'll take you home! Tomorrow I'll take you to Bubulu to check on your amnesia..."

“Master, this coffin…” one of the coffin bearers looked at the coffin on the ground.

Jiang Bai has already come out of the coffin, and he has replaced the coffin with a new one. It's just sitting there by the roadside. If it's not cleaned up, it will definitely frighten passersby, but there's no point in burying an empty coffin.

Hu Tao, the frugal and thrifty head of the hall, said matter-of-factly, "Of course we'll take it back! We won't need to order new ones after Jiang Bai dies!"

"......"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down the foreheads of the coffin bearers. Although the people of the Rebirth Hall took life and death lightly, Jiang Bai was clearly a young man. It was really too early for him to be stocking up on coffins now!

"Master, is this coffin for me?" Jiang Bai approached Hu Tao.

"Yeah, what do you want to do?" Hu Tao looked at him warily. "Don't even think about destroying this coffin. Although it's not the best wood, there are still costs involved in making it..."

"No, no, I just wanted to ask the hall master if I could have the coffin ready earlier..."

Hu Tao raised an eyebrow. "What do you want to do with it if I give it to you in advance?"

"I think it's nice to use as a bed, it's quite comfortable..."

Hearing this, Hu Tao burst into laughter, jumped up, and patted him on the shoulder: "Great minds think alike!"

"I thought sleeping in a coffin was comfortable when I was seven years old. But it's okay to sleep in one occasionally, but you can't sleep in one for a long time. Once the lid is closed, it's not airtight inside, and you'll suffocate..."

Hu Tao shared her experience of sleeping in a coffin without reservation, which made the coffin bearers' mouths twitch. They even looked at Jiang Bai with some strangeness, and at the same time, they silently mourned for the future of the ancestral hall.

One scheming leader was already enough to give them trouble, and now another one...

Several people shivered simultaneously.

"Oh? Has the Hall Master ever tried sleeping in a coffin in the wild? You wouldn't even need to pitch a tent..." Jiang Bai enthusiastically shared his idea, which drew a chorus of agreement from Hu Tao.

"That's a great idea. Let's test it out sometime. If it works well, we might be able to turn it into a new type of sleeping bag, so we won't need to bring tents on long trips anymore. If we can also solve the size and portability problem... hehehe, we're going to be rich..."

Hu Tao rubbed his hands together, already imagining the scene of countless Mora rushing towards him.

Although I don't lack Mora, the more Mora the better!

"The sect leader is truly a genius!"

Jiang Bai sincerely praised him, feeling immense admiration in his heart.

He only mentioned a few uses of coffins, and Hu Tao immediately thought of the business potential involved. He truly deserves to be called the head of the hall!

The pallbearers wanted to say something, but when they opened their mouths, nothing came out.

"What are you standing there for! Lift it up and let's go!" Hu Tao didn't care what the others were thinking. She called out and led the way down the mountain.

The pallbearers silently laid a black cloth on the coffin and lifted it up again.

"Big Qiuqiu is sick, Little Qiuqiu, come and see~"

"Three hills gather herbs, four hills brew them~"

Hu Tao hummed a song she had made up and led the way, with Jiang Bai following behind her. The group carried an empty coffin down the mountain.

Because the first one was Hu Tao, and the coffin was covered with a black cloth, although passersby would take a second look, it didn't cause any commotion.

As Jiang Bai walked, he looked left and right, finding everything new and interesting.

Following the main road forward, a magnificent city soon came into view before Jiang Bai.

The city is surrounded by mountains, with the vast sea beside it, and a river flows by, carrying its mighty waters into the sea.

Even before you get close, the sounds of vendors hawking their wares, children playing, cats and dogs barking, and carts turning... all sorts of sounds fill your ears.

Looking around the city, various pavilions and towers stand side by side, adorned with carved beams and painted rafters, magnificent and splendid. The roads are wide and smooth, bustling with traffic, and people are well-fed, clothed, and leisurely.

Jiang Bai stood on a protruding rock in the mountains, looking up at the city in front of him, his eyes filled with undisguised amazement.

Seeing Jiang Bai's astonishment at the city before him, Hu Tao said proudly, "This is our Liyue Harbor. What do you think? Isn't it amazing!"

For any Liyue resident, Liyue Harbor is something to be proud of.

"really......"

Jiang Bai had to admit that his first impression of the place was quite good.

Rather than sleeping in the wilderness with a coffin, the warmth and vibrancy of the city are clearly more reassuring.

Chapter 4: Wangshengtang Expands Its Business!

The group made several turns in the city and soon arrived at a secluded corner.

Compared to the bustling market with its various shops, the location of the Hall of Rebirth is significantly more remote. Unless one looks carefully, they might not find it at all.

Several pallbearers carried the coffin toward the back door, while Hu Tao led Jiang Bai toward the shop at the front door.

"Our funeral parlor is in the business of funeral services, so the location is relatively remote."

Jiang Bai nodded, indicating his understanding.

There's no need for a funeral parlor to be located in a bustling area. Aside from the high rent for prime locations, no business would want to be neighbors with a funeral parlor, as most people are superstitious about death.

There's nothing wrong with being a little remote.

The door to the Rebirth Hall was ajar. Hu Tao pushed it open and rushed inside, spreading her arms wide and shouting, "I'm back!"

The expected scene of numerous attendants greeting guests and offering warm greetings did not materialize; instead, there was only a young man sitting at a table drinking tea in the lobby.

The young man raised his head, his eyebrows slightly arched, and a kind smile appeared on his lips: "Is the hall master finished with his work?"

The young man wore a brown-black robe embroidered with dark golden dragon scales. His long hair was tied up with a ribbon and hung casually down his back. He wore a golden earring on one ear and a jade thumb ring on his thumb.

He has an extraordinary air about him and looks like he is either rich or noble.

He was just sitting there casually, yet he exuded a natural aura that made people afraid to be presumptuous in his presence.

However, this kind of temperament was clearly useless in front of Hu Tao.

Seeing him, Hu Tao was quite surprised. She walked to the chair opposite him, sat down, and tilted her head to look at him, resting her head on her hand. "Eh, Zhong Li, you didn't go out for tea or opera today?"

"I just got back from watching a play." Zhong Li calmly finished her tea and her gaze fell on Jiang Bai behind her.

"This is?" He had naturally met Jiang Bai before, just a few days ago.

Back then, Jiang Bai was a pale, lifeless corpse, but now he has a rosy complexion and is lively and energetic.

Clearly, something happened that he was unaware of.

"This is the body we saw that day. But just as we were carrying it up the mountain, it came to life and kicked open the coffin lid, which startled the pallbearers!"

Hu Tao's expression was extremely exaggerated, and he used both hands and feet to vividly describe the scene at that time.

Zhongli's gaze fell on Jiang Bai's face, and a look of curiosity appeared on his face. "Dead, and then alive again?"

When Zhong Li stared at him, Jiang Bai's muscles tensed for a moment. His subconscious told him that this was a very dangerous person and he should never provoke him.

But he quickly relaxed because the other party meant him no harm.

"That's quite a strange thing."

Zhongli was somewhat curious, but not very curious. After all, he had seen far too many things, and this was not the first time he had encountered something like this.

"Come, come, let me introduce you." Hu Tao pushed Jiang Bai forward. "Grandpa, this is Jiang Bai. He will be one of our Wangsheng Hall members from now on. He has forgotten a lot of things, so please take care of him."

"Jiang Bai, this is Mr. Zhongli. He is a guest elder of our Rebirth Hall. He knows everything. If you encounter anything you don't know, just go to him!"

Jiang Bai extended his hand politely, without any restraint. He flashed his bright white teeth and said generously, "Mr. Zhongli, I hope you will take good care of me in the future."

Zhongli reached out and checked his aura. After a pause, he smiled faintly and said, "If there's anything you don't understand, you can come to me."

"Alright, that's it! I'll take you to your place!" With that, Hu Tao hurriedly led Jiang Bai to the backyard.

Looking at the young master's energetic appearance, Zhongli shook his head helplessly.

But as he watched Jiang Bai's retreating figure, his eyes narrowed slightly, a complex emotion swirling within them.

The Hall of Rebirth doesn't look very big from the outside, but once you go inside, you realize that it actually occupies quite a lot of space.

Some rooms had their doors and windows open, and there were freshly painted coffins on the floor, emanating the smell of tung oil.

Inside the house, there were funeral attendants busy preparing funeral supplies.

As Hu Tao walked, she explained, "You already know what the Hall of Rebirth does, but I still need to tell you the specifics."

"Since I took over the Hall of Rebirth as the 77th Hall Master, I have been committed to transforming it into a comprehensive funeral industry chain in Liyue, including custom-made coffins, custom-made burial clothes, and the sale of wreaths, paper money, and other funeral supplies. Our services cover all types of funeral services, including cremation, burial, water burial, fire + water burial, and fire + burial..."

"I'm also planning to develop funeral services such as buy-one-get-one-free, timed discounts, and buy-more-get-more-free offers..."

Jiang Bai listened with great interest as Hu Tao enthusiastically recounted her future plans.

"How does the 'buy one get one free' offer work? What does 'cremation + water burial' or 'cremation + earth burial' mean?"

Hu Tao counted on her fingers as she explained her plan to Jiang Bai, "You are the case I was originally going to work on, but it won't apply to other people."

"I haven't decided on the specifics of the buy-one-get-one-free offer yet. Whether it's buying a coffin and getting another coffin free, buying a coffin and getting an urn free, or buying a funeral package and getting a funeral package free... I need to calculate it carefully..."

"Is it possible to buy a coffin and get a funeral shroud as a free gift?" Jiang Bai suggested, using his clever mind.

It's a buy-one-get-one-free deal, but they didn't specify what the free item would be.

Are they really offering a free funeral service with the purchase of a funeral package? That's such a rip-off!

"We can consider that. Perhaps we could give you a discount card, offering a 30% or 20% discount on your next visit..."

What do "cremation + water burial" and "cremation + earth burial" mean?

"Just understand it literally. Our funeral home fully respects the wishes of the deceased. For example, some people want their ashes scattered at sea, so we cremate them first and then scatter the ashes at sea; others want their souls to return to the earth, so we bury their ashes in the ground..."

As they talked, Hu Tao suddenly had another brilliant idea: "Perhaps we could also start a 'Returning Home' service, sending the ashes of the deceased back to their homeland, or perhaps somewhere they wanted to go. However, this requires advance booking, otherwise we wouldn't even know they've died..."

Hu Tao thought about it more and more and thought the idea was brilliant. "Liyue Harbor has a lot of adventurers and foreigners. There will always be someone who needs this service! We can promote this service to adventurers and handle their funeral arrangements after they die. This service has great potential!"
