1: A scholar writes a signboard.
Once upon a time, a businessman opened a new shop in town to sell wine. In order to flaunt the beauty of wine and attract customers, he invited several scholars with generous gifts, wrote a signboard and hung it in front of the hotel.
Jia Xiucai wrote seven big characters: "There are good wines for sale here". The shopkeeper saw it and nodded approvingly.
B scholar pointed out: "these seven words are too verbose, and the word' here' should be deleted." The store thinks it is reasonable.
Liu Xiucai added: "The word' you' in' There is good wine to sell' is redundant, so it is easier to delete it." The store also feels simple.
Dante scholar plausibly said, "Customers will judge the quality of wine only after tasting it, and the word' good' should be deleted."
Seeing that the store still had no objection, and the signboard he had written had been deleted to pieces, Jia Xiucai said angrily, "Delete it, leaving only the word' wine', which is more eye-catching." Hearing this, the store readily accepted.
Unexpectedly, scholar B had another opinion: "Actually, you don't need to write the word' wine' to sell wine. Passers-by will naturally know when they see the wine jar. " The shopkeeper nodded and said yes.
As a result, the scholar made an excuse and the businessman gave a generous gift in vain.
2. Farmers divide geese
Once upon a time, there was an old rich man who was very stingy. The farmer worked for him for a year without paying him anything. The Chinese New Year is coming, and the farmer asks him for his salary. The old rich man frowned and his plan came to mind. He pointed to a big fat goose in the yard and said to the farmer, "You kill this goose and give it to my house in turn. You divide it, and I'll pay you. If the score is wrong, I won't give a penny. "
The farmer killed the fat goose with a knife. He first cut off the goose head and handed it to the old rich man, saying, "You are the head of the family, so you should have the goose head." Then cut off the goose's neck and handed it to the rich man's wife, saying, "You are the old rich man's helper. Where the neck is twisted, the old rich man looks. "
The farmer cut off the two wings of the goose and gave them to two girls, saying, "You are all grown up and want to fly like a phoenix." The farmer cut off his legs and handed them to the two sons of the old rich man. He said, "Your father is getting older every year, and he will rely on you to run around."
The rest of the goose farmers held him in their arms and said, "This is useless to me."
The old rich man stared angrily, but he couldn't pick out the thorn, so he had to pay the farmer obediently.
3. Scrooge repairs the door
Once upon a time, there was a miser whose door was broken. He hired a few craftsmen to repair it for him, and agreed that as long as the door was repaired according to the owner's requirements, he would get all the money, otherwise half of his salary would be deducted.
The craftsmen were quick and quick, and soon they made a fool of themselves. They invited a miser to see it. Miser, very satisfied, has other ideas in his stomach. Although stingy, the miser read a lot, especially in the Three Kingdoms, so he wrote the word "live" on the gate like Cao Cao and walked away. The craftsmen are so strange that they can't guess what a miser means. An elderly craftsman said, "Do you think the word' live' in the main house is not strong enough?" Everyone listened and agreed. So they made the door stronger.
When the gate was repaired, the craftsmen demanded money from the miser. The miser paid only half his salary. The craftsmen asked angrily, and the miser didn't get cold feet. He argued plausibly, "What are you arguing about? We have an appointment. If you don't repair it according to my requirements, you can only pay half your salary! " The craftsmen shouted, "Tell me, what didn't we do as you asked?" The miser said, "I wrote a word" live "on the door, and added a word" wide "on the door, because you repaired the door too wide. But now the door is still as wide as before, shouldn't it be detained? " The craftsmen were speechless.
With only half the salary, the craftsmen were a little depressed. The old craftsman had a brainwave and put forward a good idea. Hearing this, everyone said it was wonderful again and again.
The next day, the miser came to the craftsmen angrily: "Hey, how do you work?" Why is there no bolt at the gate? "The craftsmen said with a smile," please look carefully. We drew the word "one" on the door. Isn't it a "bolt" to add a door? "The miser was speechless, so he had to take out the other half of his salary and let the craftsmen add bolts.
