With this in mind, Salted Fish grunted inwardly. He refused to believe that no one could beat him in shamelessness! Hence, Salted Fish laughed out loud. "Aiyah, hello everyone! Are you all eating? "
With that said, Salted Fish strode into the backyard as though he was one of his own.
With such a loud voice and such a commotion, Fangzheng and company naturally couldn't feign ignorance. However, Fangzheng had no intention of putting down his bowl to chat. As he ate, he asked, "Salted Fish, why are you here?"
"What salted fish? I am a koi! Koi! Remember, Koi! " Salted Fish unhappily corrected Fangzheng's words before shooting a glance at the rice basin on the table. His heart ached as he cursed. Are these grandsons all good-for-nothings? Such a big basin, it was almost all eaten up!
"Koi is too awkward. Let's call it salted fish. Salted Fish, why are you here? Weren't you swimming in the Heavenly Dragon Pond? "Fangzheng said as he ate.
Salted Fish took a whiff of the fragrance and gulped his saliva. He looked sideways at the rice in the basin and said, "I … I … Well …" Salted Fish really didn't know what to say, but seeing that the rice was almost gone, he turned anxious! Especially when he looked at Squirrel. He was clearly stuffed to the point of bursting from eating, but he kept stuffing food into his mouth. It was obvious that he wanted to finish the food, finish it, and not leave any for him!
Salted Fish's heart skipped a beat as he cursed. "Hey! These little things clearly want to compete with me in terms of shamelessness! I'm thick-skinned enough to ask for food, and you're thick-skinned enough to pretend that you don't know? Alright, let's see who's more ruthless! "
With this in mind, Salted Fish grinned and came to the table. He jumped onto the table and like a human, he placed his fin by the side of the rice bowl. His movements were extremely natural, as if he was an ordinary person leaning against the guardrail. It was as if he had no ulterior motives and was just leaning against it. Salted Fish thought, "I've already made it so clear. Are you still pretending not to understand?"
However, Salted Fish had underestimated how thick-skinned the few fellows from One Finger Monastery were. Fangzheng smiled. "Oh? What's the matter? "
Salted Fish gulped a mouthful of saliva and said, "Isn't it dinner time? I came in to take a look …"
"Oh, it's time for dinner. We are all eating. Aren't you going home to eat? "Squirrel raised his head. He had eaten too much, so he subconsciously burped.
Salted Fish rolled his eyes, thinking, "Eat? Where am I going to eat?
"I'm not full yet. Give me some more." At this time, Red Boy began to scoop rice again.
Salted Fish turned anxious as he hurriedly pressed down on the rice bowl. "You've eaten quite a lot. Take a break."
"I can still eat. Don't worry." Red Boy pulled away Salted Fish's fins and continued scooping rice.
Salted Fish looked at Fangzheng who was still sitting there calmly eating and eating. Salted Fish exclaimed, "Reverend, aren't you going to feed me when I'm your monastery's Guardian Protector?"
The moment that was said, Fangzheng finally reacted. He looked up and said, "Guardian?"
"Yes!" Salted Fish nodded.
Fangzheng shook his head. "This Penniless Monk hasn't fully agreed to this matter."
"Uh, what do you mean? Didn't you agree previously? "Salted Fish had an ominous feeling.
Fangzheng said, "Let's put it this way. The present situation is that This Penniless Monk is One Finger Monastery's abbot. Whether One Finger Monastery recruits employees or not is up to This Penniless Monk. By being a Guardian Protector, you are here to apply for a job. Whether This Penniless Monk needs you depends on his mood. "
"No … It's not … That's … Eh, that's not right! If you don't want a Guardian Protector, why did you get me here? "Salted Fish was a little taken aback at first, but he reacted and immediately retorted.
Fangzheng shrugged. "This Penniless Monk does want to recruit people, but it hasn't been decided who to hire. As for you, letting you stay in the Heavenly Dragon Pond is a sign of Buddha's benevolence. He's giving you a temporary place to rest. As for food … You have to settle it yourself. This Penniless Monk's monastery is a small one. It doesn't accept wandering monks to stay or eat in the monastery. Alright, this is a place where monks live. Patron, it's best you leave. "
Red Boy chuckled. "If you are really hungry, you can stand in the northwest corner. Open your mouth wider and let the northwest wind fill you up."
Salted Fish nearly jumped up in anger when he heard that. He slammed the table and yelled, "You aren't eating, and you want me to leave? No way! If you don't give me food today, I'm not leaving! No, I'm definitely eating it! "
With that said, the carp jumped straight into the rice basin. He planned on eating it regardless of the consequences! Whatever was in their mouths was a profit!
The carp knew that there were many capable people here, so he had taken action very suddenly. It was clean and direct, without any tricks. Furthermore, when he entered the basin, he had his mouth open. Following the principle of getting whatever he ate, his mouth was the moment it landed!
In the end …
Clang!
"Aiyah …" Salted Fish covered his mouth as he stared at the stainless steel basin that was clean as though it had been washed. He roared angrily. "All of you are too much! There was food just now! Why is there only a basin left in the time it takes to say a few words? Are you born in the year of the dog? How did you lick it so clean? It's even reflecting light! "
The moment he said that, Salted Fish saw the dumbfounded Lone Wolf by the side. He covered his face and mumbled. "Holy sh * t! There's really a dog. "
Lone Wolf's expression changed. This darn fish, how could he say that? He was a wolf, not a dog, alright? However, he didn't say a word when he saw Salted Fish's miserable look and how he was worried about the food in his mouth.
At that moment, Salted Fish's voice was trembling as though he was about to cry. He had just arrived, but he was first beaten and then starved. This was way too much of a bully for a fish! Was this how one treated an old fish?
Upon seeing Salted Fish's look of grief and indignation, Fangzheng felt a little sad and regretful. However, Fangzheng soon realized that there was a crafty glint in Salted Fish's eyes. Clearly, the fellow was acting again!
Therefore, Fangzheng gave up the thought of immediately letting Salted Fish eat. Instead, he rapped the table and said, "That's not the point. The point is that you aren't from the monastery, so you can't eat the monastery's food."
"I want to join the monastery!" Salted Fish immediately shouted.
Fangzheng nodded and said, "This isn't something you can join just because you want to. To join One Finger Monastery, it depends on fate and merit. If you do well, This Penniless Monk will naturally take you in. If you do poorly, This Penniless Monk really won't take you in. "
Salted Fish grinned. "Mount Numinous has a lot more rules than yours. I can even join there, much less a tiny monastery like yours."
Fangzheng smiled in satisfaction. He had been waiting for that. Hence, he said, "This Penniless Monk can hire you, but you aren't This Penniless Monk's disciple, nor are you an official employee. You can be a temporary worker for now. If you perform well, you will be promoted to an official employee. As a temporary worker, your meals will be limited for the time being. After you become an official employee, you will be promoted based on your performance. "
"Uh, you can do that?" Salted Fish was a wily old fox, so he was quick-witted. He could tell that there was something fishy in Fangzheng's words and couldn't help but exclaim.
Fangzheng chuckled. "That's right. It's up to you whether you want to do it or not."
"If I don't do it, can I go down the mountain?" Salted Fish asked.
Fangzheng chuckled. "Up to you."
