Chapter 88 Drama

There is a very interesting trick: take a bottomless wooden barrel, put a rice vessel in it, lay two straw mats on the ground, and then take out the utensils from the bucket, that is, there is a liter of white rice, pour the rice on the straw mat, and then put it into the bucket. When it comes out, there is another liter of rice, so on and over and over again, until the straw mat is full of white rice.

Then use a vessel to send the white rice back to the barrel. When there is no grain of white rice left, it will be poured into the barrel, and the barrel is still empty.

Li Jiantian, Lijin County, wandered in the ceramic market in Yanzhen. He wanted to buy a huge urn and bargained with the merchant, but the business did not leave.

In the evening, the businessman went to the kiln to check the newly fired tile. He opened the cloth cover and took a look. Sixty tiles disappeared and were shocked. He suspected that it was Li Jiantian who made trouble and came to the door to ask for the lost property. Li Jiantian refused to say that he did not know.

The merchant pleaded in every way. Li Jiantian said, "I'll go out of the kiln for you. One urn is not damaged. It's all downstairs of Kuixing."

The businessman went to the Kuixing Building to search and saw that sixty watts were all there.

Kuixing Building is on the hillside in the south of Yanzhen, more than three miles away from the kiln factory. The merchant hired a helper to transport the huge urn, which took three consecutive days to finish the shipment.
