Chapter 1120
The main building of the cemetery was not far from the entrance, an independent five-story building with elevators and air conditioning, and all employees lived in this building.
The first floor was the warehouse and restaurant.
The second floor was the office.
The rest were all employee dormitories.
Manager Han was a man in his thirties, who had worked in other cemeteries before and jumped ship after learning that the salary here was high. He was very experienced and very steady.
Shen Ci briefly introduced Shen Chengcheng's situation, and Manager Han had an idea in his mind.
"Go to the dormitory to put your things down first, and then I will take him to familiarize himself with the environment." Manager Han looked at Shen Ci and said: "Boss, if you have something to do, go back first, I can handle it here."
"I'm not in a hurry. It's rare to come from so far away, so I'll walk around with you. How are the pre-orders recently?"
"Quite fast. Nearly five hundred spots have been booked this week by those who paid the deposit."
Shen Chengcheng listened from the side, his eyes widened: "Five hundred booked in a week? Then how many spots do we have here in total?"
Manager Han said with a calm face: "Eighty-six thousand burial spots."
Hearing this number, Shen Chengcheng was stunned: "How... how many?"
Seeing this, Shen Ci said with a smile: "The several cemeteries in Longcheng are all super-large cemeteries, and the burial spots all exceed sixty thousand, and so do ours."
Manager Han continued: "Even for regular large cemeteries, the burial spots will not be less than thirty or forty thousand."
This concept completely exceeded Shen Chengcheng's cognition, and he still felt unbelievable: "Can this one mountain lie down so many people?"
"Not necessarily all lying down." Manager Han said, finding the dormitory key: "I'll take you to the dormitory first, and explain to you while we walk."
So when going upstairs, Manager Han continued: "The size of the burial spots is different. The burial spots for those who are buried in coffins will be slightly larger, but for many people who are buried after cremation, the burial spots will be very small. Our cemetery has divided different areas for different deceased people. One area for cremation burial has about four to six thousand burial spots."
"There are also people who cannot afford burial spots who will choose niche worship, a square niche, just enough to store an urn. And the niche is a wall built upright, with hundreds of niches on one wall, which takes up even less space."
Although the cemetery is sacred, it is also truly a commercial entity. At the beginning of the design, every inch of space will be utilized to maximize profits.
Shen Chengcheng listened in a daze, clearly his understanding of the cemetery before was completely zero.
When they arrived at the dormitory, the door opened, and it was a double room with two beds, with an independent bathroom. The dormitory faced away from the cemetery behind, and the window looked out at the distant Longcheng, and the scenery was very good.
"The room is a double room, but because there are many dormitories, everyone now has one room each. As new employees slowly come in later, you will have a roommate," Manager Han said.
Shen Chengcheng was extremely curious, he had never seen such a good dormitory, it was even more beautiful than a hotel room.
There were air conditioning, refrigerators, washing machines, and TVs.
After putting down his luggage, Shen Ci followed Manager Han to the cemetery behind.
Rows of built, empty burial spots were solemn and respectful. Even Shen Chengcheng, who was usually sloppy, subconsciously restrained his nature at this time, his mouth closed tightly, and he didn't dare to look around.
"If someone is buried in each burial spot, we will register it on the computer, and the information of the deceased will be entered. If there are relatives and friends coming to pay tribute, we can accurately locate the position of the burial spot through the computer, and then take the relatives and friends to find the burial spot to pay tribute. This is one of your main jobs."
"In addition to this, there is patrolling, once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once in the evening. This is a must-do every day, two people in a group, ten groups at a time, patrolling in zones."
Hearing so many people together, Shen Chengcheng's lifted heart relaxed a little.
He couldn't help but ask: "Manager, do we need to clean this? It snows in winter, and there are willow catkins and leaves, doesn't someone need to sweep it?"
Manager Han said: "You don't need to be responsible for this. There is a sanitation team for hygiene, and there are special intelligent machines, so it doesn't really need human labor."
"Oh right, there are a few precautions you must keep firmly in mind. First, smoking is completely prohibited in the cemetery. You cannot smoke anywhere, including your dormitory. If discovered, you will be fined the first time and fired the second time. You must also remind relatives and friends who come to pay tribute not to smoke in the cemetery."
Shen Chengcheng showed a look of difficulty. He had been a heavy smoker for more than twenty years, how could he quit just like that?
"Second, you cannot steal the offerings placed in front of the burial spots by relatives and friends when they pay tribute. You cannot take anything. If caught once, you will be fined, and twice, you will be fired."
"Third, you must maintain a sense of awe for all the buried burial spots. Keep silent when passing by, do not spit everywhere, and even more so, do not urinate or defecate everywhere."
"Fourth..."
Manager Han said a bunch of rules, and Shen Chengcheng's face became more and more dejected as he listened, but there was no way, the cemetery was like this, and there were many rules to restrain the living.
"Uncle, this money is not easy to earn, right? It's not too late if you want to regret it now." Shen Ci said half-jokingly.
How could Shen Chengcheng give up at this time? He stiffened his neck and said: "No, it's just a bit difficult not to let me smoke. If I can't hold it, at worst I'll go to the foot of the mountain to smoke. If I'm fast, it will only take twenty minutes to go back and forth. By then, when I'm tired from the tossing, I'll slowly quit."
"Okay, as long as you have this mindset." Shen Ci looked at Manager Han and asked: "Are there still so many people coming to pay tribute to Master Yu recently?"
"It's much better after the seventh day. The Master can finally be quiet." Manager Han said, as if suddenly remembering something: "Oh right, that Mr. Wan came in the afternoon. I don't know if he has left now."
"Wan Hu?"
"Yes, he still comes every day. Sometimes he stays for a while, sometimes he stays until the evening. The time is not certain."
Hearing this, Shen Ci glanced in the direction of Master Yu's burial spot. Master Yu was buried in a high-position burial spot facing south. She couldn't see it from this angle. Shen Ci thought for a while, looked at Manager Han, and instructed: "You take my uncle to walk around more, I'll go over to see Master Yu."
So Shen Ci changed direction and went up from the stone steps on the other side.
After Shen Ci left, Shen Chengcheng couldn't help but ask curiously: "Manager, how much is a burial spot here?"
"The forms are different, the prices are different, and the location will also affect the price."
Manager Han still explained patiently: "Like a good burial spot for burial, for example, Master Yu's burial spot, one is equivalent to a top-tier luxury house in the city center of Longcheng. However, the boss seems to have given Master Yu that position for free, without charging money."
"Like the form of a niche, a good position also starts at about a hundred yuan, and the corners and edges that are a bit worse are a few dozen yuan."
