Chapter Forty-Seven: Laziness Eats Its Own Consequences

With the experience of the last time, no matter which restaurant he went to, he would always be prepared to go - take the live flies he had prepared in advance, wait for the meal to be almost finished, and when the restaurant was not paying attention, he would mix the flies into their signature dishes or signature soups, and then wait for Xiao Er to repeat the old trick when he checked out, but the lines changed slightly. For example, once, when he was acting again, he asked the shopkeeper, "What is this?"

Xiao Er's eyes looked wrong, and said hesitantly: "Cang... Fly. ”

"Is it the main ingredient or an adjunct to your signature dish?" Lazy deliberately made things difficult for him. All of a sudden, the shopkeeper was dumbfounded, and only the shopkeeper was invited.

"What is it?" Lazy asked again.

"Flies." The shopkeeper said without hesitation. "Maybe our chef was careless..."

Before the shopkeeper could finish explaining, Lazy interrupted him and said, "Even if you are not dazzled, I would like to ask if your signature dish is based on it as the main ingredient or as an auxiliary ingredient?"

"Neither, I think it might just be an accident. Otherwise, I'll give you another one. The shopkeeper interceded in a low voice.

"Another one, then you mean this one is an extra gift." Lazy deliberately tricked him.

The shopkeeper thought he was giving himself a step, and hurriedly said, "Yes, this is an extra gift for you." ”

"You're really polite, so let's give it back to you, how about you taste it first?" Lazy and lazy.

The shopkeeper looked at the flies on the plate, and there were really a lot of them, four or five, all of them without wings, scurrying around on the plate, and let him eat this, he could only make it difficult to swallow. Seeing this, Lazy immediately came back and said, "This meal should be free!" He gestured to the flies on the plate.

"I can only consider myself unlucky, so I will treat it as a free reward for you!" The shopkeeper wanted to go down the steps of laziness, but he didn't expect to fall into the arms of laziness.

"Since you guys even have your signature dishes for free, I guess the others should be free as well!" Lazy to inch in.

"No, I'll have to recoup some of the cost of the rest, and there are no flies in the other dishes." The shopkeeper's argument argued.

"Shopkeeper, if the news of flies in your signature dish comes out, do you think you can still do this business?" Lazy followed the shopkeeper's circle. "You have also seen this fly, if you eat my stomach, I will see how you will pay for it." After saying that, he pretended to hold his stomach.

The shopkeeper knew that he was here to find fault, but he didn't have a problem with him, because he had no evidence, and he was afraid that the matter would affect his business, so he just wanted to send him away as soon as possible. So, I could only admit that I was unlucky and said to Lazy: "Things have come to this point, I have nothing to say, even if I have a treat for this meal today, it will be all free." However, I don't want to hear you talk nonsense outside, otherwise, I will never let you have a good life. ”

Lazy smiled and said: "You can rest assured, I'm not the kind of person who has nothing to do, as long as I go out of this door, I will forget what happened today." ”

"Good! Then you go, next time you dare to come again, I will definitely serve you personally and ensure your satisfaction. The shopkeeper said unkindly.

Lazy smiled and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, how dare you do it yourself?" Then I'll take my leave. With that, he swaggered away.

In this way, Lazy can eat the overlord meal to his satisfaction every time, which makes him even more emboldened to continue to make a living from it. However, his notoriety quickly spread through the surrounding rural neighborhoods, so the shopkeepers had to be wary of him.

Once, when it was time for lunch, I lazily picked a good restaurant and walked in, and the opening remarks were still the same: "Serve the master the best food, the best wine!" Then he found a relatively remote position and sat down with a big grin, looking like a big man.

When the shopkeeper heard this opening sentence, he was so familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he immediately carried the teapot and said, "Okay!" Master, take a sip of tea first, and I'll go and ask the kitchen to make it for you. "Ordered the kitchen to cook, the shopkeeper suddenly remembered that the last time I heard from my peers, there was an uncle who pretended to be very arrogant in this area, and the opening remarks of entering the door were just like what the one who came in just now said, in fact, he was just a gangster who was playing tricks and eating the overlord's meal. So, he immediately reacted to the situation to the shopkeeper. When the shopkeeper heard this, he was shocked, but he couldn't confirm that this guest was the gangster that the shopkeeper was referring to. So, I had to tell the chef: "Be careful when cooking, so as not to let him catch the handle after eating." At the same time, he instructed the shopkeeper: "Don't startle the snake, whatever he wants, you try to satisfy him." Then, he secretly sent two more thugs to sit at his table, pretending to be here to eat and drink, in order to dispel his worries and keep an eye on him, to prevent him from mixing unclean things into the meal while the shopkeeper was not paying attention. Everything is ready, and a good battle is about to begin.

And all this ambush, lazy but unaware, he only cared about himself eating and drinking. When he was full of wine and food, I saw him touching his stomach and burping, and picking his teeth with a toothpick, looking like nothing happened, in fact, his eyes had been rolling, observing the movements of the shopkeeper and the surroundings, and when he thought the time was ripe, he took out the flies prepared in advance from his arms. Just when he thought he could mix flies into the restaurant's signature dish without even realizing it, the two thugs sitting at the table jumped up, grabbed his hand and buckled it back, shouting, "Boy, what tricks do you want to play?" Seeing this, the shopkeeper also came around.

Lazy Xin was caught off guard by this sudden counterattack, and the hand that was clasped behind his back also made him scream in pain: "What do you want to do, let go of my hand quickly." ”

At this time, the shopkeeper heard the voice and asked, "What happened?" ”

The thug said, "I see that this guy seems to be holding something in his hand and wants to mix it into our signature dish, so I subdued him." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately ordered, "Open his hand and see what he is holding in his hand." ”

At the sound of the order, the thug was not ambiguous at all, twisted the lazy hand, and the lazy hand had a sharp pain, and had to open his five fingers, at this time, several flies that were pinched into flesh and blood fell from his hands to the table. The shopkeeper looked at it and said angrily: "Okay! Boy, you really want to use tricks to slander our reputation here, don't you? Come on! Hit me hard. ”

Lazy immediately retorted: "Wait, if you don't ask clearly, you're going to beat me, isn't this a forcible crime!" ”

The shopkeeper said, "Wait a minute, okay, now that the evidence is conclusive, I think you have to quibble?" Where do these flies come from? ”

Lazy Xin said: "These flies are flying in front of me, and they want to come and eat my food, so I grabbed them casually, and I caught them." ”

"You're talking nonsense, I don't have any flies here." The shopkeeper retorted angrily. Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, a fly flew in front of him and buzzed, and the shopkeeper had to raise his hand to drive it away.

At this time, Lazy seized the opportunity to mock: "You saw it this time!" Let go of me. ”

The shopkeeper was helpless, so he had to ask the thug to let go of his laziness, and then paused and said: "Okay, it's a misunderstanding, now that you're full, it's time to pay the bill." ”

Lazy disagreed, and said aggrievedly: "Your subordinates injured me, how do you say to compensate?" ”

The shopkeeper knew that Lazy Xin wanted to deny the money for the meal, so he deliberately paralyzed him and said, "My subordinate just twisted your hand, so how much silver do you say I should compensate you?" ”

When he heard this, he was overjoyed, and without thinking about it, he said, "At least you have to pay me four taels of silver, otherwise, I won't stop there." ”

He thought that the shopkeeper would definitely reason with him, but he didn't expect him to agree with a laugh: "Okay, you say four taels will be four taels, Xiao Er, bring me this master's bill." Xiao Er didn't dare to slack off, and immediately presented the menu. The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Well, the high-quality dishes and high-quality wine you have eaten, plus the high-quality rice, a total of eight taels of silver, minus the four taels of silver I paid you, and now you still need to pay four taels of silver." ”

When I was lazy to hear it, I was stunned, but I didn't expect that I accidentally fell into the trap of the shopkeeper. This time, he didn't dare to be as stiff as he had just now, and said hesitantly: "How... Why is it so expensive? ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "This is all done according to your requirements!" Then he said, "You shouldn't tell me that you don't have enough money, do you?" ”

When I heard this, I immediately wanted to follow the shopkeeper's meaning and said: "I really guessed right, I really didn't bring so much money when I went out, or I will give the money together when I come to dinner again in the evening!" ”

The shopkeeper's face darkened suddenly, and he said angrily: "After going around for a long time, your kid is really here to eat the overlord meal!" Come on, search me out all the money in his pocket. The thugs were very unconvinced when they saw that they were lazy just now, and they had already tried to teach lazy a lesson, and now that the opportunity came, of course they would not let go of lazy easily, and they threw him down on the table and searched his lazy body. However, when they could not find a single copper plate, they were still not puzzled, and raised their lazy feet and turned him upside down, still finding nothing. Seeing this, the shopkeeper said viciously: "Okay! When you go out, you dare to come to Lao Tzu to eat and drink without even bringing a copper plate, your courage is really not small! If I don't teach you a good lesson today, do you think I can still gain a foothold here? Hit me, beat me to death! ”

In this way, two thugs and a few juniors rushed up, punching and kicking Lazy Xin, beating him desperately on the ground, calling for help but ignoring him. When they got tired, the shopkeeper ordered: "Lock him in the courtyard behind me and punish him for washing pots and dishes for half a year!" ”

Since then, lazy people can only be at the mercy of the shopkeeper, washing dishes in exchange for leftovers every day. Of course, the lazy heart must be unwilling to give in, and as long as he is lazy, he will often be lazy and sleepy, but he is forced by the thugs to strictly guard him, so he can't escape. However, Baimi eventually had a mistake, and late one night, he lazily excused himself to go to the toilet, and then escaped over the wall while the caretaker was not paying attention.

The next day, Lazy Heart, who was resting on the hillside, met the foolish heart who came to herd the sheep, and after a short exchange, Lazy Heart found that Foolish Heart did not know what happened to him, so he immediately pretended to be very pitiful, and said: "Alas, Foolish Heart, I will not tell you, I went into the mountain in the morning to buy firewood, and unfortunately met a thief, and all the money was looted by them. Seeing that the foolish heart was a little hesitant, Lazy then added: "Don't be afraid, you know my family, if you can run a monk, you can't run the temple, besides, my family still has a lot of things that can be pawned to pay off debts, are you still afraid that I can't do it without money?" "The lazy man who has reached the end of his rope does not hesitate to risk his reputation and use lying to defraud money.

Foolishness was encouraged by laziness, and he didn't think much about it anymore, but he believed it and ran home with great interest, and lent his hard-earned savings to Proud Heart so easily.

After Proud got the money he had swindled, he didn't put it to good use, but squandered it. In this way, he ruined what little credit he had, and from then on, his fate once again hit rock bottom, and he became nothing, and not only that, but he often had to hide from the debt collectors.

In the end, I was forced to leave, hid in the deep mountains and old forests to avoid debts, and hid in the rivers and lakes from then on, endured the trouble of hunger and cold, and never dared to return to Lingxin Village to cheat and eat and drink, and lived the days of a wanderer who was hungry and full of meals.
