Chapter 66 two glutinous rice balls

My friend invited me to a restaurant, which is the most popular "all you can eat" restaurant, 199 yuan per person, and you can eat until you are full. Because it was cheap, the restaurant was full of people, and there were many scenes that were unbearable to watch. Some took too much food and dropped it on the ground, some left a large plate that could not be finished, and some people ate too much. Full, but stroking his stomach and sighing. Even the most self-controlled people are not immune to eating more than usual. I said to my friend: "This kind of all-you-can-eat restaurant is really a naked expression of human greed, and it is also a sign of vulgar civilization!" In the restaurant, I discovered that there were many weight-loss advertisements posted on the transparent window glass.

My friend jokingly said: "The opening speed of beauty parlors for weight loss is probably directly proportional to the restaurants with all-you-can-eat meals." I said, "If everyone doesn't eat all-you-can-eat every meal, there is no need to lose weight." Then, Walking with my friends in the park to consume the food we overeat, I was reminded of a folk fable about greed. It is said that when Lu Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals, first became an immortal, he wanted to find a disciple to teach him the art of immortality. He thought: As my disciple, the most important condition should be not to be greedy!

So, Lu Dongbin had a plan and became an old man selling glutinous rice balls, and pasted a piece of paper on the stall: "Eat one glutinous rice ball for a penny, and you can eat as much as you want for two pennies." From morning till night, many people came here. Eating glutinous rice balls, but none of them are for one penny, all of them are full for two pennies. Seeing that dusk was approaching, Lu Dongbin thought that it was hopeless to accept his disciples. Suddenly a young man paid a penny, ate a glutinous rice ball and left. Lu Dongbin was overjoyed, and caught up with him and asked, "Why don't you eat as much as you want without paying two cents?"

The young man said helplessly: "It's a shame that I only have a penny left on me. It's a shame!" Lu Dongbin sighed, and flew into the sky, never taking any disciples in his life. I told this story to my friends. I said that greed is a human nature and a normal habit, but few people see their own greed. The friend said: "We will go to this kind of all-you-can-eat restaurant less in the future."
