One millionaire is very stingy. Usually, when guests come to visit, there is no tea to entertain, let alone guests to eat.
One day, a guest came to visit, and it was about noon. Seeing that the rich man was uneasy, he got up and said goodbye without any sign of staying for dinner. When the rich man saw that the guest was leaving, he finally let go of his heart and quickly got up to see off the guest.
went out to see each other very far, and still did not stop. The guest was unhappy and said to the rich man: "The old saying goes: 'If you send each other a thousand miles, there is always a difference.' Please stay." If you like to drink, let me send you a few more trips." After saying that, they sent them off again, and unknowingly they sent them four or five miles away, and they could see the guest's house from a distance.
The rich man thought to himself: "I will send you home, it is time for dinner, whether you invite or not, you must eat at your house." The rich man couldn't help it, and the guests had fallen to the ground, and the number of them couldn't help it.
The rich man panicked for a while, guessing that the guest must have a sudden illness. If he ignores it, there will be three advantages and two disadvantages. Just now, the neighbor saw the guest coming out of his home. Clients heal.
Thinking about it again, except for a doctor near my house, there is no other doctor nearby. There was no other way but to carry the guests on their backs and go back the same way.
After all, the rich man is already a few years old. People who carry more than 100 jins on their backs walk, even if they stop every three steps and rest every five steps, they will inevitably sweat and pant. After walking for three hours, I finally arrived at the doctor's house.
When the doctor saw the patient, he took out a pen and paper, sat down at the table, and asked about his condition. The rich man has not finished talking about his condition, and the doctor has filled three sheets of paper with the prescription. The doctor was about to prescribe the fourth sheet when the rich man was suddenly silent. The doctor looked up at the rich man and motioned for him to continue.
The rich man took a step forward and asked the doctor quietly, "I won't pay for the medicine?" Are you thinking of money?" The
rich man remained silent without a clear answer.
The doctor was in a hurry, but the client sat up calmly and said to the doctor, "I drank too much on an empty stomach just now, which made the doctor worry." Drinking?"
The rich man hurriedly defended: "He didn't drink."
The guest said to the rich man: "You say that one mile is three cups, and you gave me five or six miles, and at least a dozen cups to eat. Now, I'm in a hurry to drink on an empty stomach, can I not get drunk? If I hadn't turned around and returned most of it, I would still be drunk in my hometown!" The rich man was at a loss for words.
The doctor often hears that the rich man sees off guests before meals. At this time, he seems to know the mystery. Looking at a pile of unsold medicines, he is very upset, so he said to the rich man: "It is not advisable to send guests too far in the future, so as not to prevent the guests from being sold. Get drunk and spend money on yourself."
