The woman shook her head. Just braised pork.

Then, the woman said to the child, Son, be good. Mommy is not feeling well recently and cant eat fish. Shall we eat braised pork?

The child looked at the woman and the woman looked at the child. After a long pause, the child finally nodded and smiled. Clearly, this child really liked braised pork.

When the woman saw this, she smiled as well.

The waiter left helplessly. When he walked to the kitchen, he mumbled, I cant figure it out. Its all free. Why only request for one dish and two bowls of rice? They dont even want some drinks. Those lucky customers in the past would order all the delicious food they can until they cant move

At the same time, Salted Fish asked the same question. That Number 88 had ordered a huge table of food and got his friends to come eat with him. But for them, theyre asking for so little I cant figure it out.

Fangzheng chuckled. You are talking about the happiness of an ordinary person, but what they show is the backbone and conscience of a poor person. Free does not mean wastage. Free does not mean you can be greedy.

Salted Fish smacked his lips, seemingly understanding, but not understanding at the same time.

Very soon, the braised pork was served. The braised pork in this restaurant was almost the same as the stewed meat in the northeast, not the recipe of Maos braised pork in the south. There were meat and potatoes in the braised pork. Mother kept putting meat into her sons bowl, while her son quickly placed another piece of meat into his mothers bowl.

Alright, youre still growing. Eat more meat. Only when youre strong will you be able to protect Mom, said the mother with a smile.

His son quickly gestured with his hands and said: Mommy, you should eat more too. Mommy only comes home late at work every night. You need to nourish yourself. I can be filial to you when your body is better in the future.

Many people didnt understand sign language, but those who understood it quietly explained it to everyone.

After everyone heard that, they shook their heads and sighed. There was a hint of joy amidst their sympathy.

Who wouldnt like sensible children? Even if he was disabled, a mentally-fine person was more precious than a physically-able person

The mother and son enjoyed the meal, and very quickly. Clearly, the mother was occupied with the thoughts of finishing her meal quickly to get back to work. Everyone paid attention to her for a while before they felt that it was a bit inappropriate to keep watching her eat, so they stopped looking and started chatting.

After they finished the meal, the mother left with their child. Everyone turned to look at the mother and sons back, hearts filled with emotions.

At this moment, the waiter exclaimed, Boss!

The boss asked, Whats wrong?

Look! the attendant exclaimed as she pointed at the loose change on the plate.

The boss hurriedly ran over and picked it up to take a look. He counted it. Although it was made up of ten yuan, one yuan, and five yuan, when combined, it happened to be 37 yuan!

The boss subconsciously said, 35 yuan for braised pork, one yuan per bowl of rice. This

The attendant said, Boss, why did they give us money?

The waiter fell silent. Everyone present fell silent

Fangzheng stood up silently and prepared to leave.

Master, why did she pay?Salted Fish continued asking with a voice transmission.

Fangzheng muttered to himself, People might be poor, but they are not poor in their ideals. The mother is teaching her child with her actions. No matter how poor they are, they will not eat free food, even if its given by others.

At that moment, there was silence in the restaurant. Fangzhengs words jolted everyone awake. They could not help but let out a long sigh. I never expected that we arent even comparable to someone who processes cotton

The boss nodded as well. He raised the money up high and said loudly, Everyone, take a look at this 37 yuan. Its all here! Ill use this money as the seed money for a foundation, and its name will be the Braised Pork Foundation! In the future, well hold a Braised Pork Festival every year and welcome everyone to eat for free! Dont thank me. Thank this 37 yuan!

Everyone cheered when they heard that.

You dont have to make it free, but well definitely be here for the festival!

I want to celebrate how Ive matured a little today. Cheers!

You can always learn something from others. The ancients do not lie! Cheers!

Boss, the food at that table wasnt touched. At this moment, the waiter found the boss again.

The boss was taken aback. He looked over and saw that there was a plate of stir-fried vegetables and a bowl of rice on the table. However, the vegetables and rice were not touched at all! On the table, there were words written with flair: Amitabha. This Penniless Monk didnt eat it. Patron, please take it back. Dont waste it.

The boss was stunned once again before shaking his head slightly. I never expected him to be a monk. However, this monks words are indeed deep.

A monk? Its no wonder I heard him mutter to himself. What he said makes sense, said a customer with a smile.

Eh? Why dont I remember what this monk looks like? Do you remember?

I remember too.

What the What the hell? No, I think someone did that before.

Abbot Fangzheng!

No way. Didnt Abbot Fangzheng ascend?

That is Abbot Fangzhengs successor!

Its possible

No matter how people guessed, Fangzheng, who had a calm expression, walked out of the restaurant with his head held high. He did not look good for more than three seconds before he held his stomach and said, Aiyah, Im hungry

Salted Fish scoffed and said, Master, can we take into consideration our stomachs the next time we act cool? Well do such things when were full, alright?

Fangzheng rolled his eyes. They pay for their meals even when they are so poor. If we eat and not pay, wont you feel ashamed?

Salted Fish said, Not at all! Whats there to be ashamed about? We are much poorer than them!

Fangzheng thought about it and realized that Salted Fish was speaking the truth

Immediately, Fangzheng felt like crying.

Salted Fish said, Therefore, lets not pity others first. We should be pitied by others the most. Master, Im hungry

Fangzheng looked up at the sky and said, Open your mouth.

Is there food? Salted Fish asked excitedly as he opened his mouth.

Fangzheng turned around and got Salted Fish to face the northwest, Its windy. Eat as much as you can. There wont be any wind soon.

Salted Fish: Master, I dont know if I should say something.

Do you remember what happened when your senior brother returned to the mountain?

Salted Fish: Then lets not talk about it.

Good

Unlike the past, Fangzheng did not immediately choose to return to the mountain. Instead, he continued wandering outside. Although he was hungry, he had to continue wandering around like this. The reason was simplethree acts of kindness, three chances at the draw could exchange for one chance to treat his disciples! That was all!

Although Salted Fish said that he was hungry, he wasnt a human to begin with. Even if he were to starve for a decade, he wouldnt die.

Fangzheng, on the other hand, felt extremely hungry. He found a bench in the park and sat there motionless.

Master, are you planning on starving to death here? Salted Fish asked bitterly.
