Chapter 18 Meal Money

Ao Tuo casually glanced at the tables around him that had already been served, and said with a smile: "This dish looks good, and it looks like it is full of color, flavor, and flavor." ”

Lu Qiqi nodded, looked at other people's dishes and swallowed hard.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise downstairs, mixed with the shouts of "hitter, help".

Driven by curiosity, Lu Qiqi, Ao Tuo, and Shi Fei all leaned on the window railing to see what was happening. There are also other good people in the store, who are also vying to crouch on the windowsill to watch the excitement.

The one who shouted for help was a woman in an indigo cloth dress, she fell to the ground, one hand on the ground, the other hand pulling a basket, there were about thirty or forty eggs in the basket, a few eggs had fallen to the ground, the golden egg juice mixed with the red firecracker confetti on the ground, feeling slimy and uncomfortable.

"Please, don't rob me of anything, please......" The woman cried and cried as she grabbed the basket.

Unfortunately, it was obvious that her strength was not as good as that of the other party, and it was a man who looked like he was angry with her, and as soon as the man exerted his hands, the basket fell out of the woman's hands.

The man laughed: "you, grab things from the master, don't do your best." With that, he kicked the woman to her back.

With the egg, he ran to a big man dressed in black, with a big waist and two walnuts in his hand: "Brother, bring it." ”

The big man casually glanced at the egg, and spread out his hand that didn't take the walnut, a half-worn money bag. He took the walnuts, poured out a few taels of silver from the money bag, swiped them in the palm of his hand, and spat at the woman.

"It's just a little money, and I'm embarrassed to go out, phew. A handful of empty money bags were thrown in her face.

The force was not small, and the woman's face was beaten to one side, and her hair was scattered on her face. But she didn't dare to resist, and only sat on the ground and cried vigorously.

"It's too much deception!" Lu Qimi, who was standing upstairs and saw this scene, patted the window lattice indignantly.

In broad daylight, at the feet of this son of heaven, he actually committed murder on the street, and there is no royal law, it is too much.

Lu Qiqi couldn't wait to rush down immediately to fight for the woman, and threw the two big men into the moat.

"Guest officer, tea is here, you drink tea first, and the food will come immediately. "It's still Xiao Er just now, carrying a white porcelain teapot in one hand and three cups in the other. Put down the cups and bring them to the tea one by one.

Ao Tuo rolled his eyes and shouted to Xiao Er: "Xiao Er, come and see what's going on downstairs?"

Xiao Er glanced downstairs and said strangely: "Oh, it's him, it's nothing, we're used to seeing each other, and nothing can happen." ”

It's so light, it's a street robbery, isn't that a crime?

"Xiao Er, this person is a robbery, so your government doesn't care about it?" Lu Mi looked unkind.

"Guest officer, let's see that you are from out of town. Xiao Er's voice was high-pitched, and he was not suppressed by Lu Mi's unkind face at all, "I don't know, but I should be." ”

"The person who robbed the money downstairs is our famous pimple, surnamed Zhu Minghuan, who often steals other people's money. ”

"Does the government care?" Lu Qiqi said, why do you keep this kind of habitual offender, for the New Year.

"No matter what, every time he is caught, he confesses, but because the amount of silver stolen is not large, and it does not hurt anyone, it will not last long. After coming out, he continued, and then he was arrested, and when he came out, he continued, and even Lord Jing Zhaoyin had a headache when he saw him. ”

"Then you Jing Zhaoyin must have no ability. "The scarlet man has a quick mouth.

"I can't say that, the main thing is that every time this Zhu Huan gets money, in addition to his own food, the rest is given to the poor people in Nancheng, where some people who are sick and have no money to buy medicine, they all rely on him for relief, so he is also a good person. Xiao Er sighed.

"Will a good person snatch up a defenseless woman and children?" Lu Qiqi pointed to the woman who was still sitting on the ground crying pitifully.

"Alas, the guest officer does not know. Xiao Er said, "This woman is actually Zhu Huan's aunt, Zhu Huan's parents died early, his uncles and aunts and his grandparents bullied him as orphans and occupied his family property, Zhu Huan was also kicked out, everyone here knows about it, so no one cares when they see Zhu Huan robbing her things." ”

Oh, Lu Mi is clear, no wonder so many people on the street are just standing on the side and pointing, but there is no nosy. She thought that the people in the capital were indifferent and ruthless, and she didn't expect that there would be such a public case.

"Do you still have any questions, if not, the villain will go down to help you urge the food. ”

"Okay, there you go. Lu Qiqi waved his hand absentmindedly.

Xiao Er answered the call and turned around and went downstairs.

The crowd of onlookers downstairs had gradually dispersed, and the woman also got up from the ground and limped back, and the people around her subconsciously avoided her for a few minutes, and the lonely back was particularly desolate and pitiful.

However, Lu Mi still felt an indescribable pity, but he did not have the righteous indignation just now.

Buddhism pays attention to "cause and effect", and Taoism emphasizes that "good and evil will be rewarded in the end", these are the balancing techniques implemented in the darkness of the Heavenly Dao, so why should others forcibly interfere?

Otherwise, what is the difference with what the monk An Ming did?

Thinking of this, Lu Qiqi seemed to feel a lot clearer in his mind. At that moment, it seemed that I suddenly understood a lot of things, but when I thought about it, it seemed like there was nothing.

"What do you think, suddenly stop talking?" Ao Tuo saw that Lu Mi was silent, and he was a little unaccustomed to her being so quiet for a while.

Lu Mi was awakened by him from his meditation: "Ah, no, I just suddenly found out that the definition of good people and bad people is not so strict, good people can also be bad people, and bad people can also be good people." ”

Hearing this, Ao Tuo smiled: "It seems that you have made a breakthrough in your state of mind, my grandfather often said when I was a child that there is no absolute good or bad in the world, the difference between good and bad is just a thought, and the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise, the honey of A and the arsenic of B, what we have to do is to look at the heart, and it is enough to act in the heart." ”

After all, the old dragon lived to be 8,000 years old, and he knew more things than them. Lu Qiqi nodded, indicating that he was taught.

Shi Fei on the side couldn't hear it clearly, so he was confused: "What a good person is a bad person, a good person is a good person, and a bad person is a bad person." ”

Lu Qiqi and Ao Tuo both laughed, and sure enough, IQ still has to be compared in order to have a sense of achievement.

Shi Fei was made weak by their meaningful laughter, and felt that they looked at him as if they were caring for the mentally retarded, and his little face turned red: "Isn't what I said right, isn't Mrs. Zhang from Lijiazhuang a complete bad person?"

It seems to make some sense.

"Guest, your dish is here. "Xiao Er appeared at the right time, and there were only two dishes on the huge tray. A soup as green as jade, and a very large plate, on which was a fat and scary crispy goose, with two silver chopsticks stuck in the goose.

"It smells so good. ”

The rich fragrance came from the crispy goose, pulling people's spirits away, and the stone scarlet eyes closest to the periphery were almost nailed to the goose, and crystal saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth. As for what he had just said and what had happened, he didn't have any extra head to think about it.

"Seven treasures and jade soup, three of you, please use it slowly. ”

It turns out that this goose is called Qidaobao, and it is really a treasure, and I am afraid that the gods in the sky have not tasted such a delicacy.

The three of them had forgotten what they had just said, and their six eyes fell on the crispy goose in unison, full of greed.

I don't know whose hand moved first, the chopsticks didn't come in handy, the six hands flew together, and the fat and delicious goose became a pile of bones on the table in the blink of an eye.

"Delicious. Shi Fei hiccuped slightly, licked his fingers, and looked at the plate with unsatisfied eyes.

The goose on the plate was gone, replaced by a duck that was a little smaller, and what remained unchanged was that the two silver chopsticks were still standing.

The goose was so big that Lu Qiqi also felt a little full, but: "Hey, there is a duck hidden in the goose's belly?" She thought about it, and finally picked up the forgotten chopsticks and opened the duck's belly.

"Ha, there's a chicken. She cried out in surprise as if she had discovered something extraordinary.

"Really. Shi Fei was also happy and surprised, "Take a look, is there anything else?"

"Ha, there's a pigeon in the belly of the chicken. ”

Lu Qiqi turned down layer by layer, and there were quails, sparrows, and finally a bird's egg the size of a thumb.

"It turns out that this is the Seven Dao Treasures, and someone thought that the goose was called a treasure just now?" Ao Tuo hurriedly laughed at Lu Mi.

Lu Mi glanced at him: "It's as if you know." "Isn't it the same as us, I don't understand anything, what kind of erudition is pretending to be at this time.

"Cut, I deliberately didn't remind you at that time, there is nothing in this world, and there is nothing I haven't eaten. Ao Tuo said triumphantly.

He is the only male in Donghai's generation, and the youngest, since he was a child, only he can't think of it, there is nothing that he can't get, these dishes are different in addition to the taste, the dishes have all been seen.

"Then you're still robbing us. ”

"Hmph, I've been eating wild fruits, eating dry food and drinking stream water with you for the past few months, and I'm not allowed to eat this delicacy in front of me, you treat me stupidly. Ao Tuo snorted.

"Guest, your food. Xiao Er served a few dishes one after another, but when he saw the messy bones on the table, the corners of his mouth twitched suspiciously.

Ten dishes, a full table, and there is no place for the water glasses. Alas, with big eyes and a small belly, Lu Mi touched his belly, which was already a little bulging, and said, "There are too many dishes, let's eat slowly." ”

So, they ate this meal for an hour and a half, and the tables around them changed one after another, and only their table remained unmoved.

When he couldn't eat, he stood up and walked, and then continued, until there were only residual soup and water on the table, and then he was satisfied to call Xiao Er to pay the bill.

Xiao Er nodded and came up: "Guest officer, the three of you have a total consumption of three hundred and twenty taels, and the seven discounts are two hundred and twenty-four taels." ”

"What!" Lu Mi and Shi Fei exclaimed in unison.

Two hundred and twenty-four taels, so much! Okay, it's very cheap, it's cheap, it's a trick.

"You're not mistaken. Lu Qiqi said suspiciously.

She and Ao Tuo have no money, all the way is paid by Xiao Shi, Lu Mi just doesn't know money anymore, this way, she also knows how astronomical two hundred and twenty-four taels of silver is. The meat buns they ate in the morning were only three cents a piece.

The guest officer laughed, how could the small one be wrong, the dishes you ordered are the signature dishes of our store, not to mention the others, just one hundred and eighteen taels of these seven treasures. ”

Lu Qiyi: ......

Aotuo: ......

Shi Fei pinched his deflated money bag and looked at Lu Qiqi and Ao Tuo and wanted to cry. When he left, the master specially gave him twenty taels of silver, plus his annual New Year's money, seventy-seven eighty-eight twenty-five taels.

And these twenty-five taels have been spent almost all along the way, and there are only nine taels left at most.

Now he actually has to pay two hundred and twenty-four taels, Shi Fei only felt that it was dark in front of him, and it was over.
