Old beggar

I think the restaurant in front of me is good, let's go there and eat. The two have come to the end of the main street of Hanyan Town, this wooden structure of the restaurant is built on the river that runs through the whole town, the surrounding scenery is beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, and a few orioles can be seen playing on the willows on the other side of the river, which is a good place to enjoy the scenery while eating.

The excellent scenery here provided them with a good environment for writing poetry, which was quite popular with the literati and scholars, who often recited poems here to cultivate their sentiments.

Chen Tiancheng and Chen Yuan walked into the restaurant, and Xiao Er saw that a guest was coming, so he hurriedly welcomed him into the building.

Guest, what do you want to eat? Our signature dishes include steamed lamb, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose ....... When Chen Tiancheng and the two sat down, Xiao Er gushed about it, and said more than a dozen dishes in a row.

Chen Tiancheng casually ordered a few slightly cheaper side dishes and asked for two teas.

Alright, guest officer, you wait a little while and the dish will be ready in a moment. After speaking, the shopkeeper also muttered, look at these two people are dressed well, why did they order such a cheap dish, they are really poor, Xiao Er left with a disappointed face.

Chen Tiancheng doesn't have much real silver, because he was born in the Chen family as a concubine, he only has three taels of silver per month, which is only one tael more than the wages of his subordinates, how dare he eat and drink.

Just as the two of them were waiting for the food to be served, an old beggar covered in cloth outside the restaurant walked in, his long, greasy hair scattered on his face, and a wine gourd pinned to his waist.

Seeing the old beggar enter, the owner of the restaurant, Huo Di, stood up from behind the counter, walked to the old beggar, and shouted, who let you in, old thing, get out, and want to eat and drink for nothing? Listening to his tone, the old beggar was not the first time he had come to this restaurant.

Shopkeeper, I haven't eaten for three days, you can do well, give me a little food, the old beggar knelt and begged in a hoarse voice.

Bah, you didn't bring any money, and you still want to eat, get out of here, even if you feed the dog, I won't give it to you, get out, otherwise, I'll let you crawl out.

The old beggar still knelt still, and the hoarse voice came from his mouth.

I said, what's the matter with you? I've got to beat you up before you leave! Xiao Liuzi beat the old beggar out, so as not to affect the business of the restaurant.

The young man took a broom in the corner of the wall, and without saying a word, he hit the old beggar's body, and said: If you don't go, if you don't leave, I will kill you, and the old beggar couldn't resist the young man's beating, and let out a painful wail again and again.

Stop, don't fight anymore, I'll pay for his meal, Chen Tiancheng stepped forward and grabbed the young man's broom with one hand, and handed half a tael of silver to the guy next to him with the other hand, picked up the old beggar, and sat on the stool on the side.

When he saw that the money had been paid, the shopkeeper stopped the young man's beating and ordered him to bring some food to the old beggar, who began to eat when he saw that the food had been delivered to him.

After being full of wine and food, the old beggar hurriedly made a deep bow to Chen Tiancheng, glanced at Chen Tiancheng and walked towards the street outside the door.

Childe, your monthly profit is only three taels of silver, and you gave half a tael at once? Is it worth it for an old beggar who is dying?

It's worth it, Chen Tiancheng said in a dignified tone, looking at the back of Xiao Se who was walking away outside the door, he remembered the past when he had just graduated and couldn't find a job, and he had no money and could only live in a long-distance bus station, when he was like this old beggar, he suffered from the eyes of others, slept on the streets, and was extremely hungry At that time, only one passer-by gave him a hundred yuan, and said that when everyone has difficulties, no matter how many times they fail, they have to face life, I hope that my 100 yuan can help you get through, and I was also looking at the back of that person for a long time and can't forget.
