Chapter 332 The gentleman is far away from the chef

For the sake of their own future, all the servants of the Xue family kept silent and refused to speak.

No matter how much Guo Tianzhuang shouted, no one recognized him.

"...Boss, what do we do? Everyone says they don't know them."

Guo Tianzhuang's throat was parched from shouting, but the Xue family wouldn't even give them a sip of water.

He felt that their efforts here were completely futile.

Jiao Bubai glanced at Guo Tianzhuang, who was covered in sweat, took off a money bag and tossed it to him: "Brothers, you've worked hard today. Go buy some iced pears and drinks to quench your thirst and cool you down in the summer heat."

Guo Tianzhuang responded with an "Eh," clearly pleased.

When the head of the Xue family heard that someone had gone to buy iced pears and drinks, he became even more furious.

"...Don't you understand what he means? He's saying that our Xue family has been unhospitable, not even offering him a sip of water!"

He glared at his personal attendant: "Aren't you going to hurry up and serve him good tea and food?"

"Baosheng is such a useless person! He can't even handle this small thing, and instead he's brought me a lot of trouble."

The servant bowed and replied, not responding to what the Xue family head had said.
-
The concept of longevity.

We had stewed pork ribs for lunch, and all the girls were very happy, especially since... there was a huge pot of stewed pork ribs!!

They can eat as much as they want!!
There's no need for that at all. It's not like this morning, when I was pitifully left with only two bites of stir-fried vegetable scraps, without even a decent amount of oil.

Fortunately, the white steamed buns were unlimited for breakfast.

Otherwise, I really don't know how I would have gotten through this morning.

The women were all somewhat relieved. Song Lan's lunch included an extra dish of stir-fried vegetables and a braised fish compared to theirs.

Those who saw it were filled with envy.

"...By the way, does your Taoist temple not require vegetarian meals?"

"Aren't ordinary Taoist temples, nunneries, and monasteries known for their vegetarian meals? How come here, apart from serving vegetarian dishes in the morning, you serve meat for lunch and dinner? Won't the patriarch be angry?"

Zhao Yueli, oblivious to the world around her, was simply curious and asked the question.

As a result, you inevitably get glares from everyone: If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!

What are you talking about?
What if there's really no meat to eat later?
Fortunately, Pei Yuanshi spoke up to explain: "Our ancestor was relatively flexible in terms of dietary restrictions. There weren't that many things you couldn't eat. As long as you're happy eating something, you can eat it."

"As long as you kill animals without abusing them, and do not harm livestock or birds that have done you a service, that's fine."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Yueli couldn't help but become even more curious: "I can understand killing without abusing life, but how do you understand not harming livestock and animals that have done you a favor?"

"For example, if a farmer raises cattle to plow the fields, those who believe in my view should not kill the cattle to eat their meat."

"For example, if a dog is kept to guard the house, and the dog has worked hard to guard the house for more than ten years, then those who believe in my views should not kill the dog to eat meat."

"For example, if you are injured and saved by anything, you should not be ungrateful and take its life to satisfy your own appetite. In my opinion, this is a great taboo!"

Pei Yuanshi, with a gentle and refined expression, said: "A gentleman, when he sees animals alive, cannot bear to see them die; when he hears their cries, he cannot bear to eat their flesh. Therefore, a gentleman keeps away from the kitchen."

"We cannot bear to see them live, precisely because they are lives just like ours, not food, and it has nothing to do with whether or not we eat meat."

"A gentleman feels pity for the weak and cannot bear to see them die; this is a normal human emotion."
