Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 1090 - 530: A Perfect Match for the Job (Part 2)

"By the time it got to Zhou Hu's grandfather's generation, the Zhou family could only secretly pick up their old trade of fortune-telling and feng shui to make some small money."

"After Zhou Hu's father was born, the Zhou family became wealthy again. Considering that his grandfather was already a well-known feng shui master locally, the Zhou family's wealth did not arouse any suspicion. Zhou Hu's grandfather suddenly passed away in his fifties, and his father officially took over as the famous feng shui master in the area. However, because his father was extravagant, he quickly squandered the family's accumulated wealth, so Zhou Hu's family situation wasn't good when he was a child."

"When Zhou Hu was in his teens, his father suddenly got ambitious. Not only did he practice feng shui locally, but he also frequently went out of town on business trips, earning a lot of money. Zhou Hu, because of his good academic performance, studied a funeral-related major in university, reportedly because the family hoped he would get a civil job in a funeral home for future security."

"So what's the real situation?" Luo Jun asked, "His grandfather suddenly died without a reason, his father was initially a profligate who squandered the family wealth, and later suddenly became ambitious and built up the family business again. They have ancestral skills but don't let the son inherit them, instead let him take exams for a stable job. Writing a novel?"

"Failing public exams for 10 consecutive years, the dying fantasy of a person over 35?"

Gong Liang praised timely, "Mr. Luo is still the smart one, immediately recognizing the suspicious parts."

"This year, Zhou Hu is 29, and seven years ago, the year he graduated and took the civil exam, his father was sentenced to life for tomb raiding, and their assets were confiscated. He's still serving time in prison now."

"Because of his father's imprisonment, Zhou Hu couldn't take the civil exam and opened the current funeral planning company. He is both the planner and the boss of the company, personally handling the big deals, and also works part-time in feng shui and fortune-telling."

"His grandfather didn't die accidentally either; he died in a tomb he was raiding. His father didn't dare to go tomb raiding for many years because of his grandfather's death. Later, he picked up the skill again. According to him, it was to buy a school district house for Wang Hu, but people familiar with him said it was just an excuse. His father completely resorted to it because they had sold everything they could sell and still owed a large amount of high-interest debt they couldn't repay."

"Under the pressure of debt collectors from the underworld, he had to pick up tomb raiding to save his life."

"Originally, Zhou Hu wasn't popular in the fortune-telling market because of his youth. Even his father only became reputable after 40. But because his father is in prison and the family had ancestral skills in feng shui and tomb raiding, some thought Zhou Hu's fortune-telling was just another form of scam. But those like Xu Tuqiang, who knew his family situation well, trusted his skills a lot."

"However, Zhou Hu only does fortune-telling part-time, only visiting familiar customers or those introduced by acquaintances in his spare time, and since his charges are not high, no one has reported him for fraud or anything."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Zhao Cheng'an, who had been daydreaming, listened in and sighed, "Everyone is a spirit; why is his family background so fascinating and extraordinary? Why don't my parents have such interesting pasts?"

Qin Huai: ?

Do you want your dad to go to jail too?

Regarding Zhou Hu's family background, Qin Huai could only comment with one word.

Criminal.

Others are merchants for three generations, politicians for three generations, farmers for three generations; Zhou Hu's family, being tomb raiders for three generations, is indeed rare.

Quite uncommon.

Qin Huai now is 80% convinced of Gong Liang's assumptions. With such coincidental skills and bizarre background, if the guy really is a spirit and this is his last lifetime, his family background is probably his straw.

This kind of professional alignment in all senses is truly rare.

While everyone was shocked by Zhou Hu's extraordinary past, only Chen Huihong looked at Luo Jun and sighed, "Luo Jun, you had a good eye for picking a feng shui master back then. Comparing the feng shui skills for picking cemetery spots, ordinary feng shui masters can't compete with tomb raiders."

Luo Jun: ...

"So what should we do now? Should we wait for Master Qin and Zhou Hu to get close and uncover the task, determine if he's a spirit, or should we take the initiative?"

"I have Xiao Zhou's WeChat, and I chat with him a lot on WeChat. I can invite Xiao Zhou to my house to check the feng shui and see if my Huihui can get into a key middle school."

"Sister Hong, you simply want to find a fortune-teller to do some fortune-telling, right?" Qin Huai couldn't resist teasing.

"Master Qin, what are your plans now?" Cheng Gong suddenly asked.

"Right now, I plan to level up my yeast skills to master level," Qin Huai said honestly, looking at Zhao Cheng'an's shocked face, full of 'brother, after hearing such an exciting story, your first reaction is still to hustle; do you want me to live?' He continued, "Although Zhou Hu sounds a lot like a spirit, it's not certain."

"Of course, I trust Mr. Gong's observation and judgment. But I still have a lot of tasks to complete now, and I want to complete those at hand first. Once I have time, I can focus on Zhou Hu."

"At this stage, I really don't have any plans, just going with the flow."

"Hey, Master Qin, how many illustrations have you unlocked now? I remember your illustration slot only has 12 positions, right?" Chen Huihong asked offhandedly.

Asked casually by Chen Huihong, Qin Huai answered subconsciously without thinking, "Already unlocked 10."

"Oh, then if Zhou Hu is also one, it's just one more to go." Chen Huihong nodded and after more than ten seconds seemed suddenly to react and asked, "How can there be 10, together we're only nine?"
