The early 90s of the last century was a period of acceleration in China's economic development. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At that time, the phrase "hard work can make you rich" resounded throughout the country, and almost all Chinese were proud of hard work and ashamed of laziness. Even when talking about the object, the first requirement is to find a diligent person.

In a small fishing village on the shore of Qingdao, Shandong, there are 132 diligent families, but there are a total of 133 households in the whole village, so the question is, what is the remaining family for?

The answer is, do nothing.

That's right, the male owner of the separately mentioned family is a person who doesn't do anything, except for eating, drinking, and sleeping all day long, he never does a serious thing, it's just "lazy mom to open the door for her son - lazy to get home".

But even so, the lazy man still married his daughter-in-law and had a baby.

Why is a lazy man, who is so poor that his family is surrounded by walls, that he can finally marry a daughter-in-law?

It's all because of what a Taoist priest said.

The Taoist priest said that after the lazy man has thirty years, in the first year of the descendant's birth, the lazy man must be prosperous and rich.

When he said this, the lazy man was already twenty-nine, and the people in the entire small fishing village regarded this matter as a joke after dinner, holding back their strength to see how the lazy man who was not married at that time was "thirty years old".

Unexpectedly, on the seventh day after the Taoist priest left, the lazy man walked around the beach and picked up a young and beautiful woman.

No one knew where the woman came from, and when she woke up, she couldn't remember who she was, so she ended up living in the lazyman's house and became the lazyman's daughter-in-law.

If the daughter-in-law has it, will the child be far away?

A year passed, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, when the lazy man was just over thirty years old, the daughter-in-law who picked it up really gave birth to a big fat boy.

That night, the child's cry overshadowed the sound of firecrackers in every house, and the whole village admired the Taoist priest of Youfang. Then he began to hold back his strength to see how the lazy man "prospered and became rich".

Not to mention anything else, just saying that this is the first "year" of having a child, and the lazy person may not be able to live well.

I've been lazy for 30 years, my family is so poor, and I need help from my neighbors to eat, how can I support my newborn child?

But don't say it, this lazy man is not a person without conscience, the day after the child was born, he carried a fishing net pocket that had not been used for many years and went to the sea to catch fish, in order to let his daughter-in-law and children have a good meal.

The idea is good and worthy of praise, but the problem is that it is already the first day of the Lunar New Year. Although there is no ice and snow in Qingdao, the fishing season has long passed on a cold day, and no matter how diligent the lazy man is, it will be difficult for him to catch fish.

From morning till night, the lazy man blew a cold wind on the seashore for a day and found nothing. When he was about to pick up the net and go home disappointed, there was movement in the net.

When I opened it, there was only one fish in the net pocket, and it was still a big fish estimated to weigh twenty or thirty pounds, but this fish looked too strange.

The small pointed beak, small eyes, head and tail combined are the size of half a palm, but the body of the fish is surprisingly large, bulging into a round ball, and the top half of the car is round.

The lazy man is lazy, but not stupid, he recognizes this fish, and it is the "big-bellied fish" that everyone in the village respects and avoids.

The potbelly fish is uncommon, and it is a master who eats everything in the sea.

It is said that this fish has no internal organs and is born with a mouth that only knows how to eat and never digests. When it waits, it can't eat anymore, it will break its belly, and its life will come to an end.

People who are particular about it think that this kind of fish is not clean, and if there is something poisonous in the stomach, if you get it home, you will be looking for death.

Superstitious people think that the pot-bellied fish was sent by the Sea Dragon King to patrol the sea, and when it is full, it returns to the Dragon Palace, and the Sea Dragon King sees what it has in its belly, and knows what is in the sea.

Anyway, no matter what kind of person it is, if you catch a potbelly fish, you must throw it back into the sea, which is also a rule handed down from the ancestors.

The lazy man knows this, but the problem is that he can't go home empty-handed after a busy day. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to take the pot-bellied fish back and cook it.

The Sea Dragon King's rootless and shadowless things don't matter, and the boiled fish is eaten by the big yellow dog in the village first, as long as it is sure that it is not poisonous.

When the lazy man returned home, he didn't tell his daughter-in-law, but ran to the kitchen with the fish.

If you don't have internal organs, you don't have to clean it up, just throw it in the pot and stew it if you get stunned.

Who knew that as soon as the fish was in the pot, it would be terrible, and when the water boiled, the fish was fragrant, and the water vapor drifted out, attracting the whole village.

Everyone grew up eating fish, but no one had ever smelled such a fragrant smell of fish, and everyone gathered at the door of the lazy man's house.

Some people are surprised that the lazy man is fishing, some are strange about what kind of fish the lazy man stews, and some people even think of the words of the Taoist priest of the wandering party, thinking that this is a sign of the prosperity of the lazy man's family.

The lazy man was not ambiguous, and when the fish was cooked, he went out with a large pot and put it at the door of the house. The chopsticks in his hand poked the belly of the fish, and the two sides were opened, and the hot aroma of the guy came out, and everyone came up to take a look, and it was filled with red and clear sea shrimp.

It was a Qingdao prawn with thin skin and full of meat, full of thirty catties, and I couldn't count the number of them.

When you see this, you must have pondered in your heart, what the Taoist priest of You Fang said is really accurate, just this fish belly Qingdao prawn in his hand, not the rich side What is it?

Haha, let's be a joke now, in the nineties of the last century, thirty catties of Qingdao prawns really couldn't make a millionaire, at most, let the people in the village taste it.

That night, the lazy man ate the most delicious dinner in his life, and his wife and children were full of glory, and the neighbors greeted him with smiling faces.

With this excitement, early the next morning, the lazy man got up early for the first time, took his fishing net pocket and went to the sea to catch fish.

Still a whole day of nothing, until the third pole of the month, the lazy man couldn't wait any longer, so he could only collect the net and go home, who knew that the last time he collected the net, he actually caught a pot-bellied fish.

This one had a bigger belly than the previous one, and the lazy man happily went home with the fish in his arms.

This time, he learned to be obedient, and instead of putting the fish directly in the pot, he peeled off the belly of the fish with a knife and saw what was inside first.

Who knows, with a knife down, the first thing that was pulled out of it almost scared the lazy man into peeing his pants.

The miserable white thing in the moonlight turned out to be a human hand, and the wounds on the wrists were obviously cut off.

The lazy man was frightened, and it was not until the daughter-in-law in the house called out to him that he came to his senses, and hurriedly stuffed the severed hand into the belly of the fish.

But the busier it became, the more chaotic it became, and the severed hand didn't stuff it back, and something fell out of it.

The lazy man had the courage to take a closer look, it was a bulging black leather bag, and he went up and unzipped the purse, and when he looked closely, it was full of money.

No one knows, not even how much money the lazy man has gone through.

The people in the village only knew that on the third day of the Lunar New Year that year, the lazy man ran to the city and invited the Taoist priest home. It wasn't until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year that the Taoist priest came out.

After that, the lazy man really "prospered and became rich", but his first child never showed up again.

It is said that the child was taken away by the Taoist priest of Youfang, but no one saw the Taoist priest take the child away, anyway, the child was gone, and the lazy man's family did not make a fuss to find it.

So where did that kid go?

My master told me that he sent the child to Huangquan Road, where he began to learn his art and eventually took charge of the only restaurant at the end of Huangquan Road, "Huangquan Tavern", where he served as a shopkeeper, a cook, and a runner.

And I am the current shopkeeper of this Yellow Springs Tavern.
