Few years ago.
"Sir, here is the thing. I was born with a curse cast on me which prevents me from amassing any fortune. If you don't believe me, change the direction that tree is facing. I guarantee that you'll earn more today than you have earned in a year."
After saying that, he pointed at a landscape tree in the shop.
Master Wang was interested, so he changed the direction according to what he said. He thought that the man would leave after saying that, but not only did he not leave, he grabbed a stool and sat outside the shop.
Master Wang was a little skeptical and asked his wife to bring out a bowl of rice.
The man did not stand on ceremony and ate like a wolf.
Master Wang did not have time to watch him eat because at the time two women walked in. He showed them around the shop with a broad smile. Soon, the two women bought a few silver hairpins and bracelets and left.
