Chapter 165 Tang Sanzang's Wonderful Journey to the Hot Pot Restaurant
Chapter 165 Tang Sanzang’s Wonderful Journey to the Hot Pot Restaurant
Tang Sanzang's whole body was numb.
He never thought that one day he would be forced to stay in the store washing dishes to pay off his debts because of eating the Overlord meal.
As a dignified eminent monk sent by His Majesty the King of Tang Dynasty to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
Now, Tang Sanzang felt a little hopeless!
"Monk, brush faster!"
"In the evening, when there are many customers in the hot pot restaurant and the business is good, the plates will soon run out!"
Tang Sanzang quickly nodded in agreement, "I understand, poor monk."
Fortunately, his body is not what it used to be.
Not only did his strength improve, but his endurance also became more durable. After some trial and error, Tang Seng quickly mastered the skill of washing dishes. A pile of dirty dishes half a person's height could be washed in half a cup of tea.
When the clerk who shouted came back in and saw the clean dishes piled neatly, he couldn't help but stare in amazement.
"Monk, you are an expert!"
He patted Tang Sanzang on the shoulder, "Do you want to stay in the store?"
"The welfare benefits here are very good."
"An ordinary clerk earns five taels of silver a month. With your work efficiency, you can earn eight taels a month!"
"Well, even a salary of ten taels of silver is not impossible!"
Tang Sanzang clasped his hands together and said apologetically:
"Amitabha."
"The poor monk has something important to do. The benefactor is kind and the poor monk understands it."
The bull demon clerk was very sorry when he heard this, and couldn't help but sigh, "Oh, it's such a pity that you are such a talented dishwasher."
"Niu Da, why haven't you brought the new plate?"
There was a shout from outside the kitchen.
The little demon named Niu Da quickly picked up the washed plate and smiled at Tang Sanzang: "Monk, I appreciate people who can work hard. When we close for the night, let's have a good drink."
"Push the ball, here I come!"
After saying that, he quickly walked out of the kitchen with the plate in his arms.
Tang Seng looked complicated, sighed softly, turned around and continued working.
…
With Tang Sanzang as a strong backup in the kitchen, the back cook of a hot pot restaurant who was always busy due to the tight number of dishes, today was surprisingly smooth sailing without any problems.
Soon after, the hotpot restaurant closed.
The clerk, who had been busy for a long time, also gathered together to prepare for dinner.
"Hey, monk, come and eat too."
Seeing Tang Sanzang who was still immersed in washing the dishes, Xiong Xiaobao waved, "Niu Da even prepared vegetarian dishes for you!"
"Donor, wait a moment while the poor monk finishes washing these dishes."
Tang Sanzang said without turning his head.
"Hey!" Niu Da stood up and came to Tang Monk's side and pulled him over, "Why are you in a hurry? It's important to eat! We are all closed. After dinner, take your time to clean up. Our king often says something."
Push Tang Sanzang to the dining table.
Niu Dacai said: "If you are not active in eating, you have a problem with your thinking!"
"That's right."
"Eating is the most important thing in the world."
"The king's words can be said to have penetrated deeply into the demon's heart. I won't say any more, let's get started!"
All the monsters responded with a few words and then picked up the bowls and chopsticks.
"Come, monk, eat vegetables, eat vegetables!"
Niu Da seemed to really appreciate Tang Sanzang. From time to time he would bring him a few chopsticks to eat vegetarian food, but he took good care of him.
"Thank you so much, donor." Tang Monk was flattered and clasped his hands to express his thanks.
Looking at Tang Sanzang with a humble attitude.
Xiong Xiaobao put down his rice bowl and taught: "Monk, let's talk about you. You are quite strong and you look young. Why do you want to imitate those inconspicuous and low-income people who eat the king's meal?"
"You have hands and feet, but you can't do anything. Even washing dishes for others, you only get a few taels of silver a month."
"Is there still enough food and drink to spend?"
Tang Sanzang felt bitter in his heart. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and tried to explain several times, but he just sighed and said nothing in the end.
Niu Da on the side actually chimed in.
He said angrily: "If you ask me, it's the monkey's problem. He brought the monk to dinner, but he ran away first. If I had such a friend, I would have broken his legs long ago!"
As he spoke, he patted Tang Sanzang on the shoulder and said, "Monk, I'm telling you, you really can't make friends with monkeys."
"There is no good monkey up or down Black Wind Mountain."
"They are all unreliable guys who use crooked ideas!"
Tang Sanzang heard this and finally nodded with deep sympathy, "What the donor said makes sense. The poor monk used to indulge him a little. When he returns, he must talk to him more."
"Yes, you should have been like this a long time ago." Niu Da Laohuai comforted.
"But does being reasonable help?"
Tang Sanzang nodded solemnly, clasped his hands together and said, "The donor doesn't know something, and the poor monk is best at persuading people with reason!"
"Hey, monk."
"By the way, you really don't want to think about it?"
Xiong Xiaobao interrupted: "For a skilled dishwasher like you, I can give you twelve months' wages, including food and accommodation!"
"That's right!"
"Our welfare is very good."
“Hot pot restaurants need talents like you!”
"Yes, stay."
It's easy to find a dishwasher, but it's hard to find ten dishwashers worth one.
Faced with everyone's enthusiasm and expectations, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but feel a little moved. He didn't expect to meet such a good restaurant after having a Bawang meal, let alone they were monsters.
At this moment, Tang Sanzang's bad impression of monsters due to his encounter at Shuangcha Ridge suddenly changed.
People have good and bad qualities, and so do demons.
Humans have parents, and demons also have parents. There is not much difference between the two.
The difference is that humans are humans and monsters are monsters. As long as monsters can understand kindness, they will no longer be monsters.
In a daze, he seemed to understand something.
boom!
Suddenly there was a loud noise, and half of the door of the hot pot restaurant collapsed.
"Hey! Monster, hand over my master!"
Accompanied by a roar, a monkey with a furry face and a thunderous mouth wearing a tiger skin skirt and a tight band on his head jumped into the store.
Tang Sanzang and the monsters who were eating with their bowls were immediately stunned.
Sun Wukong, who broke in through the door, was also stunned.
But the silence didn't last long.
boom!
There was another loud noise.
The other half of the hot pot restaurant's door collapsed at the same time.
A handsome young man in white clothes rushed into the store in a panic, "Master! Senior Brother! Are you still here?"
The demons first looked at the door lying on the ground.
Then they all looked at Xiao Bailong.
As for the little white dragon.
He also fell into a daze after seeing Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong holding bowls and eating around the table with a group of monsters.
"Why are you here?" x2
"No, why aren't you here?" x2
Monkey and Ao Lie looked at each other and said in unison, their faces full of confusion.
"hehe."
"You still know that Master is here?"
A smile suddenly appeared on Tang Sanzang's face. He put down his bowls and chopsticks, clenched his clattering fists, and walked towards the two of them step by step.
When walking out of the kitchen, he closed the door.
The monkey and the little white dragon were shocked when they saw this.
"Master!" x2
"Listen to my explanation first, this is a misunderstanding!" x2
The little monsters at the kitchen table only heard this last sentence, and then various loud noises and screams came.
"Oh!!"
"Master, stop hitting me!!"
"hiss!!"
Xiong Xiaobao suddenly said: "I think the monk should be able to stay."
The little monsters looked at each other in confusion upon hearing this.
But after hearing the collapse of tables, chairs, glass, and even walls, they suddenly realized.
After a long while, the movement stopped.
When Niu Da saw this, he was the first to run to the kitchen door.
He opened the door crack and looked outside. His eyes suddenly turned into bells. Then he took a deep breath, turned to look at the demons with a complex expression, smacked his lips and said, "I think so."
"The three of them may have to stay..."
