"Ahem, Amitabha, Master, it's just that the people under my command are ignorant. Please don't be offended if you offend Master!"
"I'll have that young man come to my door later to apologize. I'll definitely make Master Wuhu calm down!"
The shopkeeper Wu Yuan's face turned a little green, and he resisted the urge to slap the person in front of him to death.
"What the shopkeeper said is wrong. The boy did nothing wrong. He was just doing things according to the regulations. The young monk has always admired this kind of workers who are not afraid of power. Not only does he have no fault, but he has made merit. He deserves a commendation. yes!"
Li Xiaobai said with a smile.
"So, Master Wuhu is willing to put an end to the past?"
Wu Yuan, the shopkeeper, asked with bright eyes.
"You and I don't have any grudges at all. How can we settle the old grudges? We are just doing things according to the rules. The sign on the first floor says that if you make a fake, you will get ten for ten. The monk is not an unreasonable person. The two floors below are exempt. But the price of the dishes on the third floor will be ten times the price."
Li Xiaobai said seriously.
"Ten times the compensation!"
Wu Yuan felt that his eyes were getting dark and his head was dizzy.
The dishes on the third level are so precious. The lowest price on the menu is tens of thousands of yuan of top-quality rare earth resources, not to mention the sky-high price of dragon meat that cannot be cooked. It is a priceless treasure.
If this was repaid ten times, Jubaozhai would be closed down immediately.
"That boy made a mistake. There are no so-called rules in our fasting building. The visitors are just guests. How can we turn away all the masters?"
"Master, please accept Zhaijie Pavilion's apology!"
Wu Yuan shook his hand and took out the tray again. It was full of good things, shining with golden light and resplendent.
"You, come here and kowtow to Master Wuhu to apologize!"
Wu Yuan's eyes flashed with blood-red light, piercing people's hearts. The young man behind him rolled out and crawled out. His knees softened and he knelt in front of Li Xiaobai, with tears streaming down his face.
"Master Wuhu, it's the villain's fault. The villain deserves to die. The villain has a bad mouth. The villain has blind eyes and cannot recognize the true king. The master has been wronged. Please treat the villain as a fart!"
The boy was shaking all over. When he came up, his legs were trembling and he couldn't walk. He had to be helped before he came in.
Having offended such an eminent monk and caused the restaurant to suffer losses for nothing, his good days were over, and maybe his life was over as well.
"You bastard, all Tianzihao restaurants are closed today. Who do you think it's for?"
"It's all a trap set up by you bastard. Your eyes are higher than your head. The master is right in front of you without even realizing it. How dare you beg for mercy so shamelessly!"
"Master Wuhu, it is not a pity for this person to die, but I know that even if he dies, it will not be enough to calm the anger in the master's heart. From now on, he has no connection with Zhaijie Pavilion and can be left to the disposal of the two masters!"
Wu Yuan slapped the boy on the forehead and said with a smile on his face.
He knew that since the other party didn't value wealth, he must be looking for a face, and he could just vent his anger.
"Shopkeeper Wu Yuan, you really misunderstood the young monk!"
"Amitabha, you are so good, little donor, get up quickly. There is gold under the man's knees, and the young monk is not a Buddha, how can he kneel down and worship easily?"
Li Xiaobai patted the boy on the shoulder and said.
"Master, I realize my mistake and accept my punishment!"
The boy's face was ashen, so the shopkeeper sold him out in order to save the restaurant.
But speaking of it, he is a little guy, what qualifications does he have to ask the shopkeeper to protect him?
He is just a walking corpse for people to vent their anger. When he is reincarnated in his next life, he has to learn the art of speaking.
"It's not you that's wrong, it's the world."
"What happened today is that there was a loophole in the Zhaijie Pavilion. Ten times the compensation is deserved. This matter has nothing to do with you."
Li Xiaobai said calmly.
"Shopkeeper Wu, it's easy to get money to do things. This matter is indeed Zhailou's problem. You see, you can't get the dragon meat, but it's clearly written on the recipe."
"Isn't this Hong Guoguo's deception?"
"It will be very bad for your restaurant's reputation if word spreads!"
Li Xiaobai said lightly, the meaning is obvious, if you don't pay, the reputation of Zhaijie Pavilion will be ruined today.
"The third floor of Tianzihao Restaurant is a place frequented by Lingyin Temple supervisors. The prices of the dishes are very high."
"Ten times the compensation is really unreasonable, and I, the Zhaiji Pavilion, did not deceive the master. There are indeed all the dishes on this menu, but some of the ingredients required for the dishes are precious and are not available on weekdays. For example, dragon meat needs to be prepared one day in advance. Available only by monthly reservation.”
Wu Yuan rubbed his hands and said with a bitter look on his face.
"oh?"
"You dare to eat real dragon meat, so you are very brave, right?"
"How many dragons has Zhaijie Pavilion eaten so far?"
Li Xiaobai raised his eyebrows and asked.
“I’ve only eaten one since I opened the building…”
Wu Yuan said with some lack of confidence. He still remembered the day when the restaurant was open for business. Because it ruined the business of his colleagues, it was raided an average of 1.3 times a day. In one year, six boys died.
It was the superintendent of Lingyin Temple who couldn't stand it any longer, so he personally brought an entire dragon's spine and held a banquet in the Zhaijie Pavilion to intimidate everyone around him, which finally put an end to all these grievances.
After that day, the Prison Court often visited Zhaijie Pavilion, and there was no incident in Zhaijie Pavilion again.
Because I had eaten dragon meat once, I included it in the third-tier menu. I wanted to show off to show off, but I never imagined that I would be picked on because of this.
Dragon meat, that's a precious material that can only be obtained by hunting the real dragon clan. How can a little shopkeeper like him get it.
"Ingredients that have not been available for so many years are included in the recipe. Isn't this cheating?"
"Monks insist that the four elements are all in vain. This is the foot of the Lord Buddha. In Lingyin Temple, it is fundamental not to lie. Does the shopkeeper do this to make the monks of Lingyin Temple lose their reputation?"
Li Xiaobai glared and said coldly.
No matter what, a big hat will be placed directly on the person.
Wu Yuan was dumbfounded for a moment. Wasn't he talking about the restaurant's behavior of deceiving consumers? Why did the other party's few words directly rise to the level of trying to gain Lingyin Temple's reputation?
It's going to cost him his life, he doesn't dare to take the blame!
"No, no, Wu will never forget Lingyin Temple's kindness to Zhaijie Pavilion. He will never do such a treasonous thing!"
"I'm going to tell you who made the recipe. He will be punished and punished. He will be kicked out of the restaurant for three days. In addition, Wu will pay for all the consumption in the fasting pavilion today, and he will not charge a penny!"
"Master Wuhu, Wu heard that you are also here to participate in the Buddhist debate. You must be isolated and lonely in Lingyin Temple. If you don't mind, when the master comes on stage, Wu will lead the shopkeepers of Tianzihao Restaurant How about waving the flag and cheering for you to support your efforts?”
Wu Yuan was keenly aware of what Li Xiaobai needed now, and there was no shortage of money. He also knew that Zhaijie Pavilion could not pay ten times the compensation, but he still refused to leave. It must be that the conditions he offered were not in line with the other party's wishes.
"That's right. It's rare that Shopkeeper Wu has the intention, so that's it. It's just that the young monk still has something to ask for."
Li Xiaobai said in a nonchalant manner, the boss of this shopkeeper, those who can become shopkeepers are not ordinary people, they know how to cause trouble.
"I still want to invite the master, but it doesn't matter!"
Wu Yuan felt happy, he guessed correctly.
"The young monk is new here and is very interested in the Thunder Tribulation Rosary. If you can trouble the shopkeeper, he can help the young monk collect some. The required expenses will be recorded in the account of Luohan Temple!"
"In addition, the young monk is not an unreasonable person. Although the three levels of recipes are lacking, there are no problems with the first two levels, and the required expenses are also recorded in Luohan Temple's account!"
Li Xiaobai nodded and said slowly, "It is impossible to pay money. It is impossible to pay money in this life. Isn't this just affiliated with a cheap temple? It is natural for it to pay the bill."
After the Buddhist debate stage, he will be a monk of Lingyin Temple. He does not need to go back home and has no psychological burden at all.
"Amitabha, thank you very much, Master Wuhu. However, as long as the meal for today is recorded in Wu's account, it can be regarded as a good relationship with Master Wuhu. As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting."
Wu Yuan forced a smile on his face and said, thank God for not causing trouble in his restaurant. How dare he ask the other party to pay for it.
"Absolutely not. How can you eat cannibal food without taking a penny? If word spreads, I wonder if the young monk will think that he is domineering and came here to eat the boss's meal!"
"On the head of Luohan Temple, the young monk is not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others!"
Li Xiaobai said with a straight face.
The shopkeeper Wu Yuan's face was terrifyingly dark. He simply couldn't believe his ears. What did the other party say just now? Listen, is this special brew still speaking in human language?
You've taken advantage of everything, okay?
At this moment, he says that he is not someone who takes advantage of others, but where is his face?
But right now, all I can do is agree, the most important thing is to send this plague god away.
"Amitabha, don't worry, two masters. Someone will send someone to offer the Thunder Tribulation Rosary tomorrow. If you have any needs in Lingyin Temple, Zhaijie Pavilion will do its best to meet them. If you want to go shopping around, Wu can send someone to accompany you."
Wu Yuan said.
"After having enough wine and food, we headed back home."
"I came here today just to entertain Master Jigong. I didn't expect so many things to be involved. It's also unexpected."
"I won't bother the shopkeeper anymore. I'll visit you another day. The young monk will leave first."
Li Xiaobai stood up, clasped his hands together in a gesture of compassion, then stood up and left without any hesitation.
"Amitabha, there are still two pots left to traverse the snow in search of giants. Don't waste them. The poor monk can take them with him and record them on Master Wuhu's head."
When Monk Jigong saw Li Xiaobai leaving quietly, he hurriedly picked up two bottles of fine wine, smiled at Wu Yuan with his big yellow teeth exposed, and then left in a hurry.
"this……"
"The shopkeeper..."
Hongyan and the others looked at it with their mouths agape. Their faces changed so quickly, faster than turning the pages of a book.
"I have never seen such a shameless person. Today, I, Zhaiji Pavilion, will admit defeat, inventory the losses and report the damage. It will be closed for a month. I don't want to see the monk anymore these days."
Wu Yuan said weakly.
…
downstairs.
With pairs of eyes staring at each other, the diners stretched their necks to look around like curious babies, wanting to know Li Xiaobai's movements.
"Come down, come down!"
"Good guy, he's finally down!"
"His grandma's family is here today. It's an unprecedented event!"
"Master Wuhu is famous, and Luohan Temple is also famous. I have to go to the Buddhist Debate Platform to see how arrogant and arrogant this monk is!"
The monks and monks were all talking about it, and the restaurant was too preoccupied with its own business, and no one paid any attention to the group of spectators.
"Hello, comrades!"
"Good job, comrades!"
Li Xiaobai looked at this highly anticipated moment and waved.
"All the purchases here today will be paid for by Monk Wuhu. You can leave on your own. If you have already paid, remember to go to the shopkeeper to get your money back."
Li Xiaobai said with a smile, walked out of the Zhaijie Pavilion, and walked away with Monk Jigong.
"Master Wuhu pays?"
"No need to spend money today?"
“Made should have known better to order more dishes!”
"Where's the shopkeeper? Come out and refund the money!"
These words directly made the restaurant lively. How expensive is the Zhaiji Pavilion? It is such a famous restaurant. Many monks have to hesitate for days if they want to have a meal. Today, they can actually get a free meal. This can save a fortune. Not a small amount of rare earth resources.
You are a bastard if you don't take advantage of it.
outside world.
Li Xiaobai walked towards the direction of Tongtianzhu. All the Tianzihao restaurants along the way were closed, and not even a single person could be seen.
"Is Master Jigong going somewhere?"
“Where there’s wine, there’s home!”
Jigong happily hugged the two pots and said happily.
This wine is overflowing with fragrance, and just taking a sip is refreshing.
"The young monk will go ahead. The Buddha Debate Platform is coming soon. What can Master Jigong do?"
Li Xiaobai asked.
"Well, fight well!"
"Then what?"
Monk Jigong thought for a while and said, "Don't be sleepy. It's not good to fall asleep on the stage."
Li Xiaobai: "..."
Well, after taking the advantage, this crazy monk started to act stupid again and was stunned. It was impossible to come up with something to say.
The entire journey was silent.
When Li Xiaobai returned to the Tongtian Pillar, the passers-by on the street turned a blind eye to him, but it was different for the monks in the hall on the first floor of the Tongtian Pillar. The moment he set foot, he was greeted with stares from head to toe.
Surprise, resentment, anger, curiosity, scrutiny...
For these monks who were preparing for war, news flew faster than the virus. They received the news of what happened in the Zhaiji Pavilion at the back.
It is unimaginable that this year's Luohan Temple has behaved so toughly, even daring to cause trouble in Tianzihao Restaurant. Aren't they afraid of being known by the prison for wearing small shoes?
"Are you Master Wuhu of Luohan Temple?"
"The monk who lives in Room 1 on the first floor?"
A monk sitting cross-legged in the corner slowly opened his eyes and said calmly.
This man had an outstanding appearance, with a big mole on his nose. He was sitting in the corner as steady as a rock. As soon as he opened his mouth, the hall suddenly became quiet.
"Amitabha, the young monk at Luohan Temple in Wuhu has met this master."
Li Xiaobai clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's name.
"It's interesting to see that I can be so calm. I am worthy of being a monk who dares to stay in Room No. 1. I specially waited here today just to get acquainted with each other. I hope there will be a chance to compete on the Buddhist debate platform and not to lose in the first round. If you get kicked down, you will become a laughing stock."
The monk didn't speak, but his voice spread throughout the entire floor.
"Master has a calm aura and a good posture. He looks like an ordinary monk at first glance. It's just that his face is a bit different. You have a mole on your face."
Li Xiaobai pointed at the other party and said something that made the whole audience stunned.
