In the Qiuxiang Vegetarian Restaurant, everyone heard the middle-aged man’s story and probably had some idea of the business model of the owner of the vegetarian restaurant.
It can be said that the intention of the two old ladies was not bad. They used their own store to open a charity restaurant and provide large portions of dishes to the many migrant workers. This was a good intention in itself.
It's no wonder that so many volunteers take turns to come here to help. First of all, everyone works with a charitable attitude.
Therefore, Qiuxiang Vegetarian Restaurant can win the favor of many customers just by virtue of its simple decoration.
There are not only migrant workers who have just got off work here, but also taxi drivers, courier boys, and shopping mall salespeople.
Not only that, there is a huge donation box at the restaurant's cashier.
It can be seen through the transparent glass that all the change added up is obviously one or two thousand.
"They look delicious." Lu Weiwei smacked her lips and pointed at the vegetable pick-up window: "These vegetables look quite fresh. How about I go pick them up? 6 yuan is really a good deal."
"Then I'll go with Senior Sister Lu." Yuan Shasha also recommended herself.
Gu Chen nodded slightly: "Okay, senior brother Wang and I will find a seat and sit down first. Let's just sit there."
Gu Chen pointed to a corner by the window.
"Okay, Xiao Yuan, let's go." Lu Weiwei nodded in agreement, and then led Yuan Shasha straight to the food window.
Not long after, four vegetarian set meals were served on the table.
"Junior Brother Gu, look at these dishes. They are really rich in variety. I originally thought that 6 yuan would not be enough to eat a lot of good food. It seems that I was wrong. They are really doing charity."
After listening to Lu Weiwei's introduction, Gu Chen used chopsticks to spread the dishes on the plate, only to realize that there were all kinds of home-cooked vegetables.
Lu Weiwei typed seven or eight kinds of vegetables at once.
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment: "With this way of eating, this boss won't go bankrupt, right?"
"Probably not. They are also doing charity. At most, they can go to the merit box and donate some money to make up for the meal expenses." Lu Weiwei's thoughts were still very simple.
Yuan Shasha also echoed: "Yes, we don't take advantage of others anyway, so we can just donate some money."
Seeing how many people had so many rules when eating, Officer Wang couldn't help but complain: "It's true that people do charity, but sometimes their charity is a little overdone. As for releasing animals, is this charity? This is a disaster.
."
"Old Wang." Lu Weiwei glanced at him and quickly reminded: "As promised, we will talk about this after dinner first."
"Yes." Yuan Shasha also echoed.
Officer Wang snorted coldly, said nothing, and fiddled with the vegetarian dishes with chopsticks.
But when he took his first bite, Officer Wang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Well, is this a vegetarian dish? It's so delicious. The 6 yuan is so worth it. I'll have to refill it later."
Seeing Officer Wang smashing his mouth and devouring the food, Lu Weiwei said with a look of disgust: "It's terrible to be uneducated. You can't even say a few words of praise for the delicious dishes, and you only use foul language when you open your mouth."
Yuan Shasha didn't say anything, she just covered her mouth and snickered.
I feel like the way Officer Wang eats is so interesting.
Then Yuan Shasha set her sights on Gu Chen again.
However, unlike Officer Wang who was gobbling up food, Gu Chen sat up straight while eating. Although he ate very quickly, Gu Chen took one bite at a time and never smashed his mouth. He ate very quietly.
Yuan Shasha even suspected that Officer Wang might have been sent by God to foil Gu Chen.
When everyone was only halfway through the meal, Officer Wang was already carrying the empty plates to refill the dishes.
After coming back, I wolfed down my food again. I couldn't help but glance at the three people around me, and asked with my mouth full of food: "Aren't you hungry? You can refill food and rice until you are full. You can't recoup 12 yuan for 6 yuan."
?"
Seeing that Officer Wang was eating badly, Lu Weiwei also said angrily: "I say Lao Wang, just because we can add more dishes doesn't mean we have to. This portion is enough to eat. I've never seen you eat like this."
"Haha, you're right. Maybe it's because the food is so delicious." Officer Wang saw that few people around him were replenishing their food and rice, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
Gu Chen smoothed things over and said, "That's right, her food is really delicious."
Officer Wang patted Gu Chen, then tilted his chin at Lu Weiwei: "How's it going? Gu Chen said it's delicious. It's delicious, why don't you eat more? If I don't have leftovers, I won't be fined. Everything is within the rules.
."
"Hey." Lu Weiwei rolled her eyes and continued to eat.
At this moment, a monk in monk's robes looked around at the door before entering the store.
When a clerk discovered it, he quickly stepped forward to practice Buddhism: "Master Hsing Yun, haven't you had dinner yet?"
"Not yet." The monk named Master Xingyun couldn't help but smile.
"Hurry up, find an empty seat and sit down first. I'll serve the food for you." The clerk seemed a little familiar with the monk named Master Xingyun.
However, after looking around, I discovered that it was the peak dining period and the tables in the store were already overcrowded.
But when the clerk looked in the direction of Gu Chen, he found that there was an empty seat next to Gu Chen.
So he quickly called Monk Xingyun to go to the corner: "Master Xingyun, you sit here and are crowded with these people. There is no extra space now. I am really sorry."
"It doesn't matter." Monk Xingyun said, and took out a wrinkled 10-yuan note from his pocket.
When the clerk looked at it, he suddenly frowned: "Master Xingyun, what do you mean? It's our honor for Qiuxiang Vegetarian Restaurant to have you come here to eat. How can we charge you? If the boss knows, he might blame you.
Then you say that I am obsessed with money."
"Haha." Monk Xingyun shook his head and said: "Everything must have rules. There is no rule without rules. As a disciple of Buddhism, you must remember it even more."
He glanced at the merit box on the cashier counter, smiled and said: "6 yuan is the meal fee, 4 yuan is the donation, a total of 10 yuan."
Having said this, Monk Xingyun handed out a 10 yuan note with both hands.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The female clerk couldn't bear Monk Xingyun's insistence, so she nodded and said: "Okay, you sit down first, I will get you some food, and I will inform the boss by the way.
I’m shopping in the market.”
"Okay, then here is the donor." Monk Xingyun bowed to the female clerk before turning and heading to the corner.
But when he saw four uniformed policemen sitting in the corner, Monk Xingyun couldn't help but was stunned, but he quickly calmed down, nodded slightly to everyone, and then sat next to Gu Chen.
The four people looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
Suddenly a strange monk came, which made the atmosphere a little reserved.
Lu Weiwei immediately looked at Monk Xingyun's bald head, then his robes, and cloth shoes, and then asked: "This master's accent sounds like he's not a native of Jiangnan City, right?"
Monk Xingyun nodded silently: "Yes, my hometown is in the north, and I was transferred to the temple in Jiangnan City to work."
"Can a monk change his job?" Yuan Shasha didn't quite understand this and asked weakly.
Monk Xingyun smiled slightly and said calmly: "This is normal. The abbot in charge of the temple is often transferred."
"Then are your wages high?" Lu Weiwei was curious for a moment.
Officer Wang glanced at her and quickly reminded: "The salary is equivalent to the level of a civil servant, and it has to be linked to incense. Do you think it is high?"
"Haha, that's good. Monks don't talk about money, as long as it's enough." Monk Xingyun spoke softly and looked kind-hearted.
At this moment, the clerk just now quickly brought a vegetarian set meal to Monk Xingyun, and then respectfully said: "Master Xingyun, I have prepared all the meals you asked for, please use it as you please."
"Thank you donor."
After Monk Xingyun bowed, he began to dine quietly.
After Gu Chen and everyone finished eating, they did not leave immediately. Mainly because they heard the clerk said that the boss had not returned from shopping, so he thought of waiting.
But ten minutes have passed since I waited...
After Monk Xingyun finished the last bite of his meal, he picked up the rice grains that fell on the table and stuffed them into his mouth. Then he breathed a calm sigh of relief and sat down next to Gu Chen to meditate quietly.
Lu Weiwei was very curious for a moment and said to herself that we were waiting for the boss to come over to hold them responsible for letting the snakes roam free, but what was this monk doing sitting here after he had eaten and drank enough?
I don’t know how long it took, but then I heard the sound of a motor at the door.
Gu Chen looked out the window and saw the two old ladies in the video just coming out of the senior car.
Then, with the help of the store clerk, the two men took out a large sack from the back seat of the senior car.
Lu Weiwei quickly touched Gu Chen's shoulder and subconsciously reminded her with her eyes: "Junior brother Gu, sack."
"I saw it." Gu Chen replied softly.
At this moment, Monk Xingyun, who was sitting in meditation, seemed to be disturbed by the silence.
He opened his eyes slightly and looked at the busy figures of the two old ladies.
Gu Chen didn't think much and waved his hand. Everyone picked up their plates and walked directly to the recycling area.
Under the inspection of the clerk, all the plates were successfully recycled.
But at this time, Gu Chen walked directly towards an old lady with short hair at the checkout counter and took the initiative to say hello to her:
"Hello, I am Gu Chen from the Criminal Investigation Group Three of the Furong Branch. I have something I want to tell you about."
The old lady was stunned and a little confused: "What's the matter?"
Gu Chen looked around, fearing that it would affect the store's business, so he suggested: "Let's find a quiet place to talk with your friend."
Gu Chen pointed at another old lady.
Although the short-haired old lady didn't know what she was doing, she still reluctantly agreed: "Okay, let's go and talk behind the scenes."
She glanced at her partner and called: "Qiuxiang."
"What's going on?" asked the somewhat abstract-looking old lady.
"Just come over here." The short-haired old lady waved, and then led Gu Chen's team to the back.
Everyone walked through a small passage and came to the back door of the restaurant.
After opening the door, you will find the backyard of the store.
After the short-haired old lady turned on the lights and saw her sister Qiuxiang coming over, she asked Gu Chen: "Comrade police officer, just tell me if you have anything to do."
"Okay." Gu Chen nodded silently, turned on the law enforcement recorder, and then took out the notebook and asked: "At around 6 o'clock this morning, you were the one who released the snakes by the river in Dongshan Town Central Park, right?"
"Release the snakes?" The short-haired old lady was stunned for a moment, but she quickly nodded and admitted, "That's right, I released the snakes with my sister. What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?" Seeing that the two of them still looked innocent, Officer Wang also laughed angrily and said, "You didn't even look at what it was, so you just dumped it by the river?"
"Let me tell you, just because you released a large number of snakes in Dongshan Town Central Park today, many tourists are now bitten by snakes. Do you know how serious this matter is?"
"Why...why does this bite people?" The old lady named Qiuxiang was stunned for a moment, but insisted on her opinion: "But we are doing a good deed by releasing animals. If we don't save these snakes, these snakes are very likely to die.
Sold to a big hotel."
Gu Chen raised his head and asked her: "Where did you snakes come from?"
"Bought from the vegetable market." Another aunt with short hair said: "When we were shopping at the vegetable market, we found a cart of small snakes for sale, so we went over and asked about them."
"I just found out that someone recently wanted to buy these little snakes and bring them to a big hotel to make special dishes."
"How could I believe this? These little snakes are so pitiful and would be too cruel to make into dishes, so I discussed it with my sisters and we bought them all."
"So...you bought these released snakes at the vegetable market?" Gu Chen asked.
The old lady named Qiuxiang nodded: "That's right, and this snake dealer also raised the price, which cost us a lot of money."
Lu Weiwei was about to say that she deserved it, if not, who would I cheat?
But looking back and thinking about my identity, I suppressed it again and asked her calmly: "So, why did you choose to release the animals in Dongshan Town Central Park?"
The short-haired old lady glanced at Lu Weiwei. Seeing that Lu Weiwei was so young, she reminded her, "Maybe this little girl doesn't know much about releasing animals. Releases are very particular about time and place."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "For example, many people who release animals will release animals collectively on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, the Christmas Days of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, etc."
"It doesn't matter if you don't remember clearly. We have our own "Best Release Timetable for the Year", as well as the choice of release location. We have always felt that the river in the Dongshan Town Central Park is just a release river. If we don't release the animals there,
Where can we release them?"
Seeing that the old lady was speaking rationally, Lu Weiwei also said angrily: "But have you ever thought about it? If you do this, the released snakes will bite people, which is endangering public safety."
"It's not that serious, little girl, isn't it just to release a few snakes? Besides, if you don't mess with it, will it bite you? Snakes are all afraid of people, okay? Besides, the snakes we release are all small snakes.
."
The short-haired old lady seemed to be arrogant, which made Lu Weiwei very angry. She was about to argue with the old lady again, but was stopped by Gu Chen.
Gu Chen asked directly: "Let me ask you, are there any venomous snakes among the snakes you released?"
"Poisonous snakes? There are no poisonous snakes. How could we release poisonous snakes? They are just small green snakes, small flower snakes and the like, non-venomous." said the old lady with short hair.
Gu Chen added: "But if you let them loose like this, have you ever thought about whether these snakes are domesticated or wild? If they are domesticated and cannot adapt to the wild environment, wouldn't they let these snakes die if they were released?
field?"
"Also, even if it is a wild snake, its living environment is different and if it cannot adapt to it for a while, it will still cause the death of the snake."
"Uh." When Gu Chen said this, the two old ladies were suddenly speechless.
After a while, the old lady named Qiuxiang said: "It's not that serious, right? The snake's ability to survive is quite strong."
"It's up to you to decide whether this is true or not." Gu Chen directly adjusted the law enforcement recorder and said, "Releasing animals was originally a kind act, but now many releasing behaviors have changed."
"You must know that protecting endangered life and returning it to nature is not wrong in itself. It is a kind act."
"But in recent years, especially the release operations like yours, they have become more and more formal and do not follow science."
Seeing the two old ladies lowering their heads, Gu Chen continued to teach: "The original meaning of life release is to pay for the redemption and release the life into nature when persuasion fails."
"This not only protects students, but also benefits the ecological environment there. This behavior is worthy of recognition."
"But your behavior today did not fully take into account the actual local conditions. Even if you want to release the animals, you cannot choose to release them in a park with dense circulation of people!"
"Once this snake arrives in a new environment, it cannot adapt at all. This is not the place where they originally lived."
"In order to find habitat, they can only wander around. In order to survive, they will look for food everywhere."
"In this way, the activity range of these snakes will expand infinitely around them."
"Maybe one day, you were sleeping well, and suddenly a snake crawled onto your bed. How did you feel?"
"this……"
After being taught a lesson by Gu Chen, the two old ladies were stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that what Gu Chen said made sense.
The two men did have good intentions, but they failed to consider the actual situation.
So the short-haired old lady asked: "But even if we save these snakes, we have to release them."
"Then choose to release them in deep mountains and old forests, or in places with few people. If you release them casually, you will not only let these snakes run around, but also bite people. In just one day today, many innocent people were bitten in Dongshan Town.
?”
"I just want to ask you, are you doing good or evil? Is this consistent with your original intention of releasing animals?"
"I...we didn't know it would be like this."
Knowing that the two men had released snakes and caused a big disaster, the two old ladies were immediately confused and felt that they were unforgivable.
But at this moment, a man's thoughts came from the back door, and a black figure came closer and closer.
"The two old donors released animals as a kind act. This kind of activity has existed in our country since ancient times."
Gu Chen turned around and saw that the person standing at the door was none other than Monk Xingyun who had been sitting next to him.
I saw him walking slowly with a smile on his face, preaching: "The ideas we advocate for the equality of all living beings, abstaining from killing and protecting living beings, etc., have won everyone's support, so the life release activity can become popular."
"It is said that if a disciple of the Buddha performs the karma of releasing lives out of compassion, this is the truth."
"Xing...Master Xingyun?" Seeing Monk Xingyun coming to help them out, the two old ladies heaved a sigh of relief.
