Chapter 2448: Chapter 2245: It Comes From This Cow_3

Master Futian was a bald man with a stutter and a chubby face, dressed in a robe. He held prayer beads in one hand and used chopsticks with the other hand to continuously pick up meat and stuff it into his mouth, which was full, eating meat without speaking.

Master Futian was not really a monk, nor even a wine-and-meat monk; he was just a bald fraud who wandered around deceiving people.

When people who believe in Buddhism can’t resist the urge to eat meat, they always say a sentence that Master Jigong once said:

"The wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha remains in the heart."

However, little known is that this sentence is just the first half of what Master Jigong said; the poem also has a second half:

"If people emulate me, they will fall into the devil’s path."

Master Jigong ate a dog’s leg and could use mud to reattach another leg to the dog, which would then run around lively.

When Master Jigong ate a chicken, the people next to him questioned why a monk was eating meat, and Master Jigong could spit out a live chicken from his mouth.

Master Jigong said that when he wanted to eat meat, all the chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs in the village would line up, waiting for Master Jigong to eat.

If one doesn’t possess the divine skills of the master, do not learn from the master’s actions.

Of course, this is just a story from the "Biographies of High Monks". The truth may be uncertain, but the moral remains the same.

"Mr. Song, how do you find this pork?" Boss Niu asked Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong hadn’t picked up his chopsticks yet, but upon hearing Boss Niu’s question, he took his chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat, putting it in his mouth to chew.

The pork did indeed have a good chew and a strong pork flavor, but it hardly suited Mr. Song’s taste.

After chewing for a while, Song Xiaodong nodded slightly and said to Boss Niu: "Boss Niu’s farm pigs sure live up to their name; pigs living in two-story houses taste different from those sleeping on the floor."

"Hahaha."

Wang Shangjin, Ma Jiayi, and Zhou Yuanzhi all desperately tried to flatter Boss Niu, extravagantly praising the pork, while Song Xiaodong merely showed a bland expression and said it was okay. Wang Shangjin, long discontented with Song Xiaodong’s attitude, couldn’t help but speak up: "Mr. Song, your lukewarm attitude suggests you think Boss Niu’s pork isn’t as tasty as what you have at home?"

This is how things are in this world — if a group of people is busy flattering someone and an individual refuses to engage in the flattery, that person will be isolated.

Chapter 2247: Unaccustomed to the Local Ways

In Wang Shangjin’s eyes, people like Song Xiaodong, who don’t flatter sufficiently or with enough effort, are unacceptable.

If you don’t flatter, you’re seen as arrogant, conceited, and self-important.

Song Xiaodong didn’t even regard Wang Shangjin or Boss Niu highly, but since Wang Shangjin asked, Song Xiaodong decided to disgust him a bit.

"CEO Wang, honestly, I’ve tried quite a bit of pork, and while Boss Niu’s pigs in villas have a decent taste, CEO Wang is right, I’ve indeed had even better pork." Song Xiaodong tilted his head, pursed his lips tightly, and provocatively looked at Wang Shangjin.

Boss Niu didn’t even voice his displeasure at Song Xiaodong’s cold attitude, but the dog next to him did bark first.

"Mr. Song, stop joking, Boss Niu’s pigs are authentic Mutual Aid Baymei Pigs, listed in England’s ’World Catalog of Livestock Breeds and Famous Species’, a precious pig breed, part of the state’s key protected local pig breeds, even locally, there aren’t conditions like Mr. Niu’s pig farm; there’s no better pork nationwide!" Wang Shangjin was so agitated he almost yelled.

Listening to this, Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said to Wang Shangjin: "CEO Wang seems to really know Boss Niu’s pig farm well; did you do your homework in advance?"

Upon hearing Song Xiaodong’s words, Ma Jiayi, Zhou Yuanzhi, and Zhang Lijiao couldn’t help but laugh aloud.

Song Xiaodong’s meaning was that Wang Shangjin had specifically investigated Boss Niu’s pig farm beforehand just to be able to flatter upon meeting Boss Niu today.

This is more or less like drafting a script for flattery.

"You!" Wang Shangjin was at a loss for words after Song Xiaodong’s questioning.

Because, last night, Wang Shangjin did indeed look up a lot of news about Boss Niu’s pig farm online, personally chatted with people, and knew all the details about Boss Niu’s pig farming.

Moreover, this wasn’t Wang Shangjin’s first time eating pork from Boss Niu’s farm.

Yet, at the dinner table, Wang Shangjin’s expression of surprise was more exaggerated than anyone’s.

"Boss Niu, speaking fairly, do you also believe there’s no better pork in the whole country than here?" Song Xiaodong asked Boss Niu with a smile.

Where dared Boss Niu to admit that, so he cheerfully replied: "I wouldn’t dare, I’m not even a professional pig farmer, plus, whether it’s tasty or not is a very subjective matter."

If Boss Niu denied it, Wang Shangjin’s flattery would fall flat, so upon hearing Boss Niu’s words, Wang Shangjin quickly changed his tune: "This was an exaggeration!"

Song Xiaodong then said: "Boss Niu, since CEO Wang asked, I’ll say, I think Boss Niu’s pig farming technique is indeed unique, but I feel it could be even better."

"Is that so?" Boss Niu asked Song Xiaodong with a forced smile.

"Boss Niu, your pigs are Baymei pigs, how far is it from the origin Qinghai to your pig farm?" Song Xiaodong asked Boss Niu.

Boss Niu was stunned by the question; he didn’t know, he just heard that Mutual Aid Baymei pigs were a good breed, so he imported them at a high price, without considering much else.

"What’s the use of asking that?" Wang Shangjin gave Song Xiaodong a glare.

"I don’t know." Boss Niu replied.

"Boss Niu’s farm is in Ningdong, over a thousand kilometers from Qinghai, crossing several provinces." Ma Jiayi answered on behalf of Boss Niu.
