In the summer of the third year of Guanghe in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Jiangxia Rebellion was initially peaceful, but the land of Yuhang, located in Wu County, was not affected by the war, and the people still lived and worked in peace and contentment, as usual.

In the afternoon of this day, the market of Qian Tang Street was very noisy, and there was the clamor of vendors everywhere, and by a stone bridge, a countryman pulled a cart of pears to sell, but whenever anyone passed by, the pear seller shouted twice, 'sweet and crisp'.

Some people saw that the pears were yellow, orange and orange, and they really grew well, so they opened their mouths to ask, but as soon as the price was reported, most people shook their heads, but they thought that the pears were more expensive than the local pears.

There is also a young rich boy who bought two, ate them on the street, praised the sweetness of the pears, and then looked at the eyes of those who were reluctant to buy pears, and felt as if they were superior to others, didn't they know that they were laughed at as losers!

The sun was facing west, and the pear seller looked at a cart of pears and was on fire, and some people persuaded him to sell it cheaply, but the countryman said that the price was set by his mother-in-law, and he couldn't change it.

The people on the side burst into laughter, but they were afraid of their mother-in-law.

The countryman's face was red when he was ridiculed, but he refused to give in to the price of this pear, and the people who had that good thing next to him said that they wanted to see if he could sell this pear today.

In the midst of laughter, there was a loud cry, and a donkey covered in ink without a trace of miscellaneous hair, only four snow-white hooves, came from the west, and on it sat a white-clothed scholar with a sword at his waist and a wine jug, looking around the town with interest.

When the donkey passed by the stone bridge, the countryman who sold pears saw that the scholar was dressed extraordinarily, so he hurriedly shouted: "Pears, sweet and crisp pears!" ”

The scholar seemed to be thirsty, and when he looked back, he saw that the pears on the cart were good, and he patted the donkey on the head, and the donkey stopped.

"Pear sellers, let's try two pears!"

As soon as the scholar said this, someone else persuaded him, saying that the pears were expensive, but they were pitfalls, and the pear seller saw that someone wanted to buy them, and he was afraid that people would stir up, so he immediately reprimanded him angrily.

The scholar waved his hand and smiled around: "I'm really thirsty, as long as the pears are sweet and crisp to quench my thirst, it doesn't hurt to be more expensive!" ”

The pear seller was overjoyed, and immediately took two pears to the scholar: "Sir, please taste, my pear was just picked this morning, and it is guaranteed to be sweet, crisp, and thirst-quenching!" ”

The scholar tied the flask to his belt, picked up the pear and took a bite, and suddenly felt that the juice was sweet, crispy and delicious, and immediately said: "Not bad, this pear is really good, but I don't have the five baht money, do you want this?" ”

The countryman was about to stare at the other man when he heard that he had no money, when suddenly a golden light flashed, and a gold coin the size of a fingernail fell on his hand.

Gold is a valuable item in any era, and in the Western Han Dynasty, it was made into a gold currency shaped like a horse's hoove, called 'horseshoe gold'.

However, the countryman in front of him had never even seen gold, so he immediately took the gold coin and shouted, "What is this, I only want money!" ”

When the scholar's gold was thrown, the onlookers only felt that the yellow shadow flashed, and no one could see it clearly, waiting for the countryman to hold it with his hand, and suddenly the sharp-eyed person exclaimed: "Gold!" ”

As soon as he shouted, many people suddenly gathered around, asking what was going on, and someone quickly told the story, and everyone exclaimed, the identity of the person who could throw out an ingot of gold at will must be extraordinary, and some people secretly guessed the origin of the scholar.

This fingernail-sized gold bill, let alone two pears, is to buy this cart of pears, and the rest of the money can still spare a big mansion within the boundaries of Wu County.

Although the pear seller had never seen gold, he had always heard of it, and knew that it was worth a lot, so he immediately turned bitter: "This ...... I can't afford to find this gold, or I'll give you all these pears......"

The scholar waved his hand and smiled: "What do I want you to do with pears, and I will reward you for the rest!" He had just arrived in Yuhang to eat pears, so he had a temporary idea.

As soon as the scholar said, someone suddenly coaxed: "The one who sells pears, if you don't want it, how about I exchange it for a lot of money for you, I have all your pears in the car!" ”

The pear seller didn't know that he had taken a big advantage, so he happily made a gesture to the scholar, but when he turned around, he glared at the person who wanted to exchange his gold.

"This little gentleman is slow!"

The scholar ate the pear, threw the pear pit on the ground, and was about to leave with a pat on the donkey, but a fat Taoist priest was squeezed out of the crowd of onlookers.

Although this Taoist priest is fat, he has a good face, eight feet long, handsome eyes and beautiful hair, but his clothes are really tattered, with two buns on his head, each tied with a rag turban, and his Taoist robe is also patched.

Guan Jian is that this fat Taoist priest's belly is too big, and the Taoist robe can't be closed, so he can only tie it with a belt on both sides, revealing his big belly.

Seeing that it was a Taoist priest, the scholar raised his eyebrows, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled and said, "This Taoist master, I don't know what to see?" ”

"I don't dare to see the teaching, but the little gentleman's ingot of gold is to buy this car of pineapples is also very surplus, Taoist priest I asked Mr. Xiao for personal favors, even if I bought this car of pears, how about inviting everyone to eat!"

As soon as the Taoist priest said with a smile on his face, all the onlookers applauded, and some people thanked the scholar loudly before he opened his mouth.

The scholar nodded and smiled: "This makes it!" Then he said to the people around him: "You don't have to thank me, thank this Taoist master!" ”

When he said this, the people around him thanked the Taoist priest and went to the cart to get pears.

Unexpectedly, the pear seller suddenly stopped in front of the car: "No one is allowed to move, whoever dares to rob me will report to the official!" ”

Someone immediately reprimanded: "You are so unreasonable, this pear was bought by Mr. Xiao, and we were invited to eat it, what did you stop, it's not that you didn't get the gold!" ”

The countryman who sold pears shouted with a red face: "The little gentleman just now clearly said that it was a reward, since the reward to me is mine, why should he call the shots again, if you want to take pears, you are a thief who steals pears!" ”

As soon as he said this, everyone scolded him for being shameless, but there was nothing he could do, and he was not willing to bear the reputation of a thief in order to eat a pear.

The fat Taoist priest distinguished from the countryman: "You got this ingot of gold, save some flowers, it's enough in this life, and you can't bear a cart of pears, it's too greedy!" ”

The countryman was reluctant, no matter what others said, he just didn't give it.

The scholar was not in a hurry to leave, and rode a donkey to watch, and his thoughtful gaze fell on the fat Taoist priest from time to time.

The fat Taoist priest suddenly turned around and came to the scholar, and picked up the leftover pear pits from the scholar before from under the donkey: "Today, with the nobility of Mr. Xiao, the Taoist priest will make a trick for everyone!" ”

As he spoke, he walked to the stone bridge, and under the curious eyes of everyone, he dug a small pit with his hands, put the pear pit in it, and buried it with soil.

The countryman looked at the coke and sneered: "You just planted it, I'm afraid it won't grow this year, why don't you wait two or three years before you invite them to eat pears?" ”

The Taoist priest didn't answer, and under the stone bridge, he held a handful of lake water in his hand and sprinkled it on the place where the pear pit was buried.

When the countryman who sold pears wanted to laugh at the sorrel again, he saw that a branch bud suddenly broke through the ground where the pear core was buried, and in the midst of the exclamations of the people, the branch grew rapidly, and in a short time it grew into a pear tree, and then it blossomed and bore fruit, and in a short time it produced a yellow, orange, and orange pear.

The onlookers were stunned and dumbfounded, and the Taoist priest laughed and said to the people around him: "Everyone pick it, it is the Taoist priest who invites you to eat pears!" ”

The people around him were polite, and they immediately swarmed up.

The Taoist priest picked two pears, ate one himself, and threw one to the scholar, who took it and ate it before he smiled and said, "The Taoist chief is really a good skill!" ”

The Taoist priest shook his head: "Thank you, sir, for the pear pit!" As he spoke, he saw that the pear seller was about to pick pears, but he stretched out his hand to stop him: "There is no share of you among the people I invited!" ”

The pear seller snorted and watched, and after a while, the pears of a tree were picked by the crowd, and the Taoist priest got an axe somewhere, clanging, and cut down the pear tree in three or two strokes, and walked away against the pear tree, and when he passed by the scholar, he smiled and nodded at the scholar.

When the scholar saw a puff fan pinned to his waist behind him, his heart moved, his face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help laughing, and said to the pear seller: "Your pears have been divided by the Taoist, don't chase them quickly!" ”

As he said this, the countryman looked back at his cart, and saw that there was not a single pear left on his cart, and a handlebar was missing, and the new stubble, apparently had just been cut off.

Only then did he turn around and chase the Taoist priest, but the Taoist priest saw the opportunity early, and he had already carried the pear tree on the street and ran far away.

When the scholar saw the fat Taoist priest running away carrying a tree, he felt full of joy, and shouted with a smile: "Zhong Liquan, what are you running!" ”

Only then did the fat Taoist priest know that he had already been recognized, and he turned around and shouted to the scholar on the donkey with a smile and anger: "Xin Daoyou, don't bring ...... like you."
