Volume 1 Thirty-fifth Joy and Sorrow
"Yes, labor in exchange for payment. ”
So, Haotian, who is usually lazy, nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"Bucket, bucket, bucket, master, where is the same? I want to be big!" The fat man suddenly blossomed with joy when he heard this, it didn't matter if he was hungry, now he just wanted to drink water.
Bang dang!
Haotian took out the big bucket he usually picked out from the kitchen, and the big iron bucket that was more than one meter high and half a meter wide suddenly stood in front of the fat man.
The fat man, who was screaming excitedly just now, was suddenly dumbfounded, pointed to the big bucket in front of him and said, "Master, you took it wrong, right? Are you sure this is not the water tank in your Taoist temple?"
Haotian pointed to the oversized water tank in the kitchen and said, "That's the water tank, do you want to try it?"
The fat man looked in the direction of Haotian's finger, and suddenly looked bitter, and scolded in his heart: "That's a water tank? That's your water tank? That's obviously a pond, okay? Fat man, I can swim if I jump in." ”
Haotian naturally understood the fat man's suffering, but he still added a sentence in a sly manner: "This bucket is already the largest bucket in my Taoist temple! ”
"It's not small, it's not small!" the fat man hurriedly shouted, and then tried to test the bucket, the iron sheet is not heavy, but it is not light, and it is okay to carry one by one. However, if it is filled with water...... The fat man's face immediately collapsed. Glancing at the monkey, who had his hands in his trouser pockets, whistling, looking at the sky, looking like I didn't see anything, as if I didn't know anything.
The fat man went up and kicked the monkey in the buttocks, and said, "Do you still want to drink water?" Otherwise, I got the water back, fat man, don't you want to drink it. ”
Then the monkey said, "Master, I don't know how much water we have to pick up?"
Haotian pointed to the spirit jar and said, "Fill it, it's enough." ”
The five of them immediately came over, looked inside, and were collectively dumbfounded, looking at the outside is very big, and looking inside, it is bigger!
The monkey was dumbfounded, swallowed and asked, "How much water does it have to be fetched!
Haotian said: "About ten barrels is about the same." ”
"Dao Chief, this water ...... How do you usually get up the mountain?" the fat man didn't give up and wanted to take a shortcut. He didn't think that this Taoist priest, who looked weak and weak, would go up and down the mountain to carry water by himself. As for the wolf, although the body is strong, the wolf is a wolf, not a cow or a horse, and he is born with a soft waist and bones, and he definitely does not have the physical strength to fill himself with water.
Haotian said: "Pick." ”
"You're alone?" the crowd was stunned.
Haotian nodded and said, "There is also a lone wolf who will also help me pick some." ”
Everyone was still a little confused, after all, such a big pain, and such a thin little Taoist priest, it was quite normal to look at it alone. However, putting it together is a bit of a discord.
"Donors, are you still going to carry water? If you can carry water quickly, it is not easy to go up and down the mountain. "Haotian Dao.
"How? "Do you want to do it?" asked the monkey.
"Pick, you pick the big one, I pick the small one. The monkey gritted his teeth and said.
"Roll the calves, lift them together! It's tiring enough to go up and down the mountain, how about getting a big bucket at a time?" the fat man scolded with a smile.
The monkey was still a little hesitant, but looking at Zhao Xiaoya's hopeful eyes, at the critical moment, of course, he couldn't drop the chain. Of course, I should come down, and the flat pole is no longer used to carry water, but is directly used to carry it, and one person lifts his head and carries the bucket down the mountain.
Seeing this, Huiqin, Zhao Xiaoya, and Yang Ying also picked up the small basin with Haotian and followed, while Zhao Xiaoya smiled and took a water cup......
Seeing this, Haotian was also speechless for a while, and sure enough, some people are still very thieves......
Haotian doesn't care when they can come up from the mountain, their own rice is still in the pot. The speed of the big pot is very slow, and the skill of Haotian is not bad, knowing when to use a simmer and when to use a martial fire. Alternate high heat and low heat to make the best rice. This kung fu was learned from his grandfather, the old Taoist.
The mountain was poor, and the old Taoist priest couldn't conjure up anything delicious for the hungry Haotian, so he practiced the skill of cooking.
Of course, it's just a few simple rice and green vegetable recipes. For the rest, even if he had the heart to study, he couldn't afford to buy good ingredients to practice.
After Haotian turned the fire into a small fire, he slowly came to the courtyard under the Fusang tree and quietly read the scriptures.
This text is not the whole book, and the name of the whole book is not known. Because half of the book has long been missing, and there is no beginning or end, and there is nothing to be seen. However, there is a paragraph in it, which is usually my own morning class scriptures, which is very good to read, Taoism pays attention to Taoism and nature, Buddhism pays attention to the heart without distractions, the four are empty, and it sounds very good to read. And when he reads it, it really makes him feel comfortable and comfortable.
In addition, there is really nothing to do, and there is no need to meditate and practice every day, and the system says that as long as the merit is enough, you can get it in the future. So I don't have much to do except do my homework and meditate. simply read a book a hundred times, and its meaning was self-evident, and it was good to review the old and know the new.
At the foot of the mountain, the fat man and the monkey finally came to the location of Longtan Spring halfway up the mountainside, and the fat man suddenly patted his head and said, "Are we stupid? That Taoist priest got all the water from here, and we still want him to do it? There is water here, we can lie down in it and drink it! What more water do we need?"
The monkey and the others also suddenly came to their senses, and said, "Yes! We are still carrying a fart of water, what are we doing tired and tired! Let's drink it directly!"
So the five of them cheered and rushed to the spring, and the buckets were gone, and they were like wild horses on the loose.
The fat man laughed and said, "Monkey, if you say that this water is made into mineral water, will it be a big sale?"
"It must be dropped!" the monkey's eyes lit up.
"When we go back, let's make some money, let's do it! We're going to make a fortune, haha...... That stinky Taoist priest can't make reasonable use of the treasure, he deserves to be poor, he won't give us a bowl of water to drink for a thousand yuan, and now I won't give him a penny, and he can still drink enough! When I contract all the spring water, let him also buy water to drink! Just a bowl for one dollar!"
"Fatty, don't be so bad, I think a thousand and five thousand bowls are good. The monkey laughed.
The two of them immediately amused themselves, the third girl also laughed, and Huiqin said: "That Taoist priest is really a little hateful." ”
Zhao Xiaoya said with a smile: "It's a pity that the Taoist priest, his head is not very bright, and he told us such a treasure in vain." We're going to get rich, but he's going to stay poor......"
The people were laughing and ran to the edge of the spring, and everyone had a basin for the basin and a cup for the cup. But the fat man just lay on the edge of the spring and stretched out his head to drink. The monkey squatted on the side, scooping water with both hands and drinking......
After a few seconds, the smiles of several people froze.
Then they got up collectively and threw up.
"What's the matter, why is this water so unpalatable?" called out the fat man first.
"Fatty, don't talk nonsense, it's not as bad as you say, at least it's much better than the mineral water we usually drink. But compared to that little Taoist, there is really a difference between cloud and mud. Huiqin said bitterly.
"Well, just now we all said that people are stupid, and it seems that the place where we were told to draw water was not the place where he fetched water at all. Zhao Xiaoya said sadly.
Yang Ying said: "Then what should we do now? Will we fight this water or not?"
"I'm not willing to take a sip of the water in that Taoist temple anymore! And after I go up, I must ask what is going on with the water of that Taoist priest, how can it be so delicious! If he could get the water himself, there would be no need for us to pick this kind of spring water that was not of the same grade. The fat man said indignantly.
