Chapter 531 Freedom
Lu Pingxi and the others walked into this bun shop. There was an owner in this bun shop who was thinking about how to steam buns. There were very few customers in the shop.
Only after Lu Pingxi and the others entered this store did some onlookers come in. They didn't come to eat steamed buns, they came to appreciate the beauty. Indeed, people here have the freedom to appreciate beauty.
Although Fox Demon and Mei Xuan were surrounded by many people, they remained calm and composed. After all, they were both seniors in the world of immortality.
The boss didn't look very happy when he saw many people entering the store. He still focused on studying the making techniques of steamed buns.
Lu Pingxi asked: "Is this old shop really inherited for thousands of years?"
The boss said: "Well, yes, this shop has indeed existed for thousands of years, but I don't have this skill. I only recently came to study how to steam buns."
Both Fox Demon and Mei Xuan were confused, and Mei Xuan asked: "The shop has existed for thousands of years, but the craftsmanship is not there? Isn't that just in name only?"
The boss said without raising his head: "It doesn't matter whether this name lives or dies? I only care about whether my buns are delicious or not."
The fox demon and Mei Xuan had a meal. Although the boss was an ordinary person, what he said made the monks think it was reasonable. The fox demon asked: "Then you can just study steamed buns, why do you want to open a shop?"
The boss smiled and said, "No one comes to try it. How do I know if this bun is good? Have my skills improved?"
Mei Xuan and Fox Demon suddenly felt that what the boss said was right, and Mei Xuan asked again: "But in this case, you are not working hard for the delicious steamed buns that others say. If everyone likes to eat steamed buns with thin skin and thick fillings, then you Isn’t it just that you only study steamed buns with thin skin and thick fillings? In the end, you are just a steamed bun boss who only makes steamed buns with thin skin and thick fillings. You have not created the truly classic steamed buns that transcend the times.”
The boss paused for a moment after hearing this, and then bowed to Mei Xuan: "What you said makes sense, and I've learned a lesson. However, whether the buns are delicious or not is an objective reality after all. If I eat it myself and taste it, then I will always be alone, so how can I make progress?"
Mei Xuan also became confused. This question really stumped him.
Lu Pingxi watched from the side. This was a discussion between an ordinary person and a demon king level being. With Mei Xuan's strength, it was easy to kill this ordinary person. The gap between them was like the gap between heaven and earth, but at this moment, They were discussing the same issue together.
It was as if the president and a ghetto kid were seriously discussing an issue, which is rare.
"That can only be like this." The boss suddenly began to clean up the shop and prepared to close the shop.
Mei Xuan became confused and asked, "What's wrong? Are you giving up?"
"No!" said the boss, "I want to leave, and then let everyone in the world eat my steamed buns and let them evaluate them, then I will make improvements, and finally, I want to make something that everyone in the world thinks is delicious. Steamed buns, of course, include myself. In this way, whether subjectively or objectively, I can confirm that my steamed buns are delicious. Doesn’t this mean that my steamed buns are the most delicious?”
Fox Demon and Mei Xuan are confused, let everyone think your steamed buns are delicious? Can this be achieved? What if some people just don’t like noodles? It's hard to agree with everyone, can he really satisfy everyone's taste?
Lu Pingxi finally spoke, but he didn't make a long speech. He just said in a normal way: "I'm just here to eat steamed buns, okay?"
The boss paused for a moment, then took out a basket of freshly steamed buns. Lu Pingxi began to taste them slowly. After finishing one bun, the boss couldn't wait to ask: "How does it taste?"
Lu Pingxi paused and then said, "I don't know."
have no idea? The boss became confused and asked, "Why didn't you know? Didn't you eat the steamed buns?"
The boss was confused again. If future customers said they didn't know after eating the buns, how could he improve? How to determine whether your buns are good or bad?
Lu Pingxi said: "If you don't know, you just don't know."
After saying that, he stood up and left, followed closely by Fox Demon and Mei Xuan. Only the boss was alone in the store, thinking hard.
The situation is wrong, right?
After walking out of the store, the fox demon asked: "Is there really no review?"
Lu Pingxi said: "I'm not a gourmet, so why should I comment? I'm just eating steamed buns. You can eat them when you want, and you won't eat them when you're full. That's all."
The boss was in chaos again, but he no longer cared about Lu Pingxi's affairs.
Lu Pingxi continued to move up, and he began to frequent various food stores, clothing stores, and tool stores. The owners of these stores all came here because they loved this job just like the owner of the bun shop. However, after meeting Lu Pingxi and his group, They are all autistic.
They all fell into three questions. The first is that something I think is good must be good?
The second question is, does something that others think is good must be good?
The third is what to do if others don’t comment?
Yes, many people just need to eat. It doesn’t matter whether it tastes good or not. If you ask him to evaluate it, he won’t be able to tell whether it’s good or bad.
So here comes the question, what should they do if they plan to enter the Tao through making buns, those who enter the Tao through wine, or those who engage in all kinds of weird things?
We plan to make a good thing, but how to determine whether it is good or bad?
There is probably no answer to this question, or in other words, the only person who can come up with the answer is Lu Pingxi.
Lu Pingxi will not be entangled in this matter, because whether it is steamed buns or wine, the properties of these things are inherently chaotic. Some people think it is good, some people think it is bad, but it is what others think, the creator thinks, but in itself They are chaotic and disordered, and they do not require anyone to admit whether they are good or bad.
Fox Demon and Mei Xuan were also lost in thought, but they would not stay in the store like ordinary people, but would think while walking.
Finally they realized, I am going my own way, who cares what others think? None of your business?
The tenth level of the sky is free, no one stops you, everyone is good, you can do whatever you want, the supply of all materials is unlimited, everyone can eat and clothe yourself, money is of no use here, so There is no currency at all in this world.
Similarly, there is no country in this world, let alone family. Everyone is free, but for the sake of freedom, they have no time to care about other things.
The fourth instinct of living things is freedom, and it is stronger than other instincts. For freedom, you can give up everything.
This is the tenth floor of the sky. There are no hardships here, no monsters, just ordinary people, "free" ordinary people.
