Chapter 256: I Want to Eat Meat

Long before the National Day holiday, Qian Sen called and said that someone wanted to buy the disease removal potion from Li Chengxi through his connections, but a month had passed since he said that, and there had been no follow-up.

Viola was planning a counterattack, and Li Chengxi felt that the two million yuan in his card was not enough to buy supplies. If Qian Sen had called later, Li Chengxi might have put the three bottles of disease removal potion on sale.

After locking the door, Li Chengxi went out and took a taxi to a local teahouse, which was said to often undertake business negotiation services.

To be honest, if Qian Sen hadn't given the address, Li Chengxi, a local, wouldn't have known that there was such a thing as a teahouse. After all, as a convenience store owner, he didn't have any business that could be called business negotiation.

The teahouse itself was decorated in an antique style, which really had a bit of ancient style. It seemed that the business was good, and people in suits and leather shoes often came and went. In contrast, Li Chengxi, who was dressed in casual clothes, seemed out of place among them.

Qian Sen booked a private room on the second floor. Li Chengxi followed the waiter to find the place. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Qian Sen sitting at the table with his legs crossed and sipping tea.

Judging from the expression on his face, it seemed like he hadn't had this much free time in a long time.

"What would you like to drink? It's my treat."

Li Chengxi usually drinks jasmine tea for a dozen yuan a bag. He looked down at the menu. Not to mention the dazzling array of tea types, the prices alone are enough to make people dizzy.

"Um... let's get the same style as yours."

"Then have another pot of Lu'an Guapian."

The waiter was very quick and soon came over with the tea set. Li Chengxi thought he could see the legendary tea art performance and watched eagerly, but who knew that the waiter put it down and left.

Fine.

"Will the Ninth Department reimburse today's expenses?"

"It's not official business, who will reimburse you?"

Qian Sen pointed to his feet and said:

"I know the owner of the teahouse. He is from our circle. I told him that I wanted to find a place to discuss something, and he offered to provide the venue."

Isn't this just taking advantage of one's position?

"I kind of understand why your headquarters is so strict."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't talk nonsense. I don't intend to let them get the bill for free. Today's consumption is paid for by a sponsor."

Li Chengxi came closer and asked:

"Are you sure this place is safe? I saw a lot of people coming in and out."

"It's okay. I've already done some scouting in advance."

Anyway, it wasn't Li Chengxi's responsibility if anything went wrong, so he just asked casually.

“When will the buyer arrive?”

"When I called just now, they said there was a traffic jam. Please wait a little longer. Did you bring the goods?"

"I brought it. You said so. Let's trade face to face."

This conversation doesn't sound like any legal activity.

While they were drinking tea and chatting, there was a knock on the door of the box. Li Chengxi thought it was a buyer, but in came an old man with a white beard and wearing a monk's robe.

When Li Chengxi saw him, he felt that he looked familiar.

"Excuse me, are you the abbot of Xingguo Temple?"

"The donor has a good memory. It is this poor monk."

Li Chengxi had taken Oldie to Xingguo Temple to buy a bracelet before, but they only met once. However, this master looked kind and kind, which left a deep impression on Li Chengxi. (See Chapter 87 for details)
"It seems that the donor and I are destined to be together. Can the bracelet be used?"

"It's useful. It makes me feel more at ease. Master, you still remember me."

People laughed:
"I only sold one bracelet in three months, so of course I remember the donor." "..."

Qian Sen now remembered that it was he who recommended Li Chengxi to go to the temple to ask for a talisman.

"We are all in the same circle, so it would be good to get to know each other. Let me introduce you. This is Master Miaoben. He is very good at exorcising evil spirits, curses, and filth. He has helped the General Administration solve many major cases in the past. In recent years, he has become the abbot of Xingguo Temple because he is old. I invited the master here today to be a witness."

This is a private transaction. Without the endorsement of the Nine Departments, we naturally have to ask respected people to witness it, so as to avoid any trouble in the future and having nowhere to complain.

The main job is actually just to sit aside and watch the transactions while drinking tea.

"Amitabha, please don't mention the empty name and money. This poor monk's cultivation is not worth mentioning. I almost had a car accident some time ago."

Li Chengxi was just about to ask what caused the car accident, but asking this would be like exposing someone's shortcomings, so it was not easy to open his mouth.

"This is Li Chengxi, who recently joined our circle. He runs a convenience store nearby. You must have heard about the bank robbery. He was at the scene and bravely fought the criminals."

"Oh? Donor Li is quite chivalrous, truly a young hero."

"Master, thank you for your praise. I simply couldn't help myself."

Li Chengxi was frightened when he thought of what happened at the bank, so he quickly changed the subject:
"Master, what would you like to drink? I see that we also provide meals here. How about getting some vegetarian food for you?"

"To be honest, I like meat, so I don't want vegetarian food."

"..."

Is this master really reliable?

"Donor, do you think I am a wine-drinking and meat-eating monk?"

"Forehead……"

It’s hard to say, but Li Chengxi does think so.

"Monks don't lie. If I like something, I like it. I've been loving the original chicken lately. I buy it secretly every day. But recently the doctor said I have high blood lipids and told me to eat less greasy food, which made me very unhappy."

"Master, you... live so realistically. I always thought monks only eat vegetarian food."

"Donor, you are obsessed with appearances. Eating vegetarian food is to purify the mind and desires, not to show compassion. You see, eating animals is killing, but drinking water and swallowing bacteria is not killing? The body's immune system devours bacteria, isn't that killing? There is no need to worry about whether it is meat or vegetables. Our Buddha's compassion is to guide people to be good. I am neither corrupt nor unjust. I live a law-abiding life. Eating meat does not conflict with practicing Buddhism."

It sounds like it makes sense, but Li Chengxi thought about it and realized that the central idea of ​​this sentence is just one sentence.

I want to eat meat.

Well, there are many monks who eat KFC and have families nowadays, so it’s not really big news.

As they were chatting, the door of the box was knocked again, and this time it was the real boss.

Li Chengxi thought that a whole family was coming, and maybe an old man who was in urgent need of disease-removing potion would be pushed over to buy and drink it on the spot.

When people came in, they found that they were two little girls.

A girl wearing a dress with complicated lace decorations, even with hairpins, looks to be around twenty years old, with long straight black hair and a pair of round black sunglasses, which makes her look indescribably weird.

He had seen this style of clothing online, it seemed to be called Gothic Lolita. It might be common in big cities, but in the small place where Li Chengxi lived, this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.

The other was even weirder.

At first glance, she looked like a blonde foreign girl, probably around fifteen or sixteen years old. She was wearing a black tuxedo and a top hat, and looked like a magician performing magic in a circus.

When these two people walk on the street, they definitely get a lot of attention.

Li Chengxi's first reaction when he saw them was that some business was holding an event and sending people dressed in weird clothes to hand out flyers...
