    After running for an entire hour, the carriage stopped in a small alley. This was the back door of Guanhailou, the most luxurious restaurant nearby. Wang Xintai got out of the carriage and helped his father down. Wang Qian finally jumped out and hurried towards the back door to ask for  Go and open the door.

    But Wang Xintai nodded and Wang Qian was stunned for a moment, then ran back. The three of them took off their patched homespun robes, revealing the exquisite and expensive silk robes underneath.

    "Wearing costumes to eat in a place like this is actually more conspicuous, haha." Wang Xintai threw his patchwork robe into the carriage, took out a shining hat from the back seat and put it on his head. Suddenly, the three poor priests  He turned into a wealthy businessman.

    "Is this your first time here? Your brother is a regular visitor here." Dad laughed when he saw Wang Qian was at a loss.

    "This is the celebration party for killing Tan Tong'en. Besides, Ah Qian did a good job this time. I will reward you as a big brother! From now on, you will be one of our own." Wang Xintai patted Wang Qian's shoulder with his fat hand and took him towards the restaurant.  go.

    In the best private room of the restaurant, Wang Qian was dumbfounded as she looked at the things on the dining table: roasted suckling pig, boiled shrimp, dragon-tiger fight, plain-cut chicken, braised pork with taro, braised large skirt fin, Huangpu scrambled eggs, stewed rice  Insects, colorful fried snake silk, chrysanthemum, dragon, tiger, phoenix and snake soup, abalone, shark's fin, and lobster came out in a stream, and soon the huge round dining table was filled with Western red wine and cigars.

    "Thisthisthis" Seeing Wang Xian staring at the dishes, unable to close his eyes, Wang Xintai smiled proudly, and took Wang Xian's right hand with his left hand, and held it with his right hand.  Dad's hand.  Said: "Let's give thanks before the meal first."

    By closing his eyes and praying silently, this familiar etiquette brought the surprised and horrified Wang Qian back from the other world. He closed his eyes tremblingly, but his mouth was dry, his whole body was trembling, and he couldn't find the words in his heart to pray to God.  Thank you.

    "Amen!" I don't know how long it took in the darkness before I heard Wang Xintai next to me shout, and then he took his fat hand and let go. Wang Qian opened his eyes, but he still couldn't believe that the dazzling pile in front of him was actually food. He  I have never seen such luxurious dining in my life.  Unable to dream of it.

    "Ha. Look, your brother is shocked." Wang Xintai's father next to him was shaking with laughter.

    "I didn't know my cousin's thoughts before, so I didn't dare to bring you to play. Now I know that our family is of the same mind, and I will let you see the world in the future." Wang Xintai said apologetically.  Next to him, his father skillfully took out a cigar and cut it open.  A fire was lit.  He took a heavy puff of pleasure.

    "Psalm 133:1 Behold, how good it is for brothers to live together in harmony. How beautiful! Now that we have you, our family will be even more powerful." Wang Xintai stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the vegetables and put them on the colorful plate in front of Wang Qian.  inside.

    "We work hard at church. Everyone wears patched clothes and eats pig food. Eat more, little coriander." Dad poured the wine diligently.

    In the church, they ate together with other believers. The Wang family ate Xiaozao occasionally. At that time, they thought big fish and meat were both luxurious and delicious. Now that Wang Qian is eating this banquet, she feels that Xiaozao, big fish and meat used to be extremely frugal.

    Wang Qian ate for a while, then raised his head and asked, "How much does this banquet cost?"

    "It's not expensive, only more than 20 yuan." Wang Xintai answered lightly.

    "20 yuan?!" Wang Qian was shocked. A worker could eat all his income in one meal for several months.

    Wang Xintai glanced at her cousin with a look that said "you are so earthy" and said with a smile: "This place is actually in the countryside. I will go to the city next week to preach, and I will take you there then. The food in the city is better."

    Wang Qian looked at these dishes and suddenly felt that the meat in her mouth had lost its taste: because she was invited by her cousin to be a pastor, she was related. In the past few months, she had sincerely helped Wang Xintai deal with Tan Tongen, because Tan Tongen graduated from a well-known seminary.  Wang Xintai and him, who graduated from a seminary in other places, always felt that he was a bit arrogant.

    For example, Tan Tong'en repeatedly asked Wang Xintai to disclose the church's accounts, like the real Reformed Presbyterian Church system, but Wang Xintai said that Tan Tong'en wanted to seize power and seize the church, and Wang Qian believed his cousin;

    For example, Tan Tong'en talks about love, which is different from Wang Xintai's preaching, which often criticizes and criticizes other churches and is full of fighting spirit; Wang Xintai said that Tan Tong'en is a heretic who does not fight for Jesus but is in the same party with the devil. Wang Qian also believed it  ;

    For example, Tan Tongen's sermons are of high standard, eloquent, and easy to understand. More and more lay believers began to gather around Pastor Tan. Wang Xintai said that Tan Tongen was forming cliques, plotting to split the church, and was a sheep-robbing person.  Hungry Wolf, Wang Xian also believed it;

    But tonight, after he hired Zhou Lizai, a professional thug, to destroy Pastor Tan's place, he was invited to eat a meal with an exorbitant price of 20 yuan. He fought for his faith and even used violence, but found that he had beaten him.  That person may be the true believer.

    In a confused heart.

    ¡°Brother, since Tan Tongen has left the church and there is a shortage of manpower to preach and preach, should we hire a new preacher?¡± Wang Qian asked.

    "You come to save Tan Tong'en." Wang Xintai glanced at Wang Qian.

    "I'm not very eloquent. I get nervous, sweat and stutter when I meet a lot of people." Wang Xian said honestly.

    ¡°Exactly, I will only hire preachers with poor preaching skills in the future.¡± Wang Xintai snorted coldly.

    "Huh? What does this mean? How can we provide believers with sufficient spiritual nourishment if the level of preaching is poor?" Wang Qian asked.

    Wang Xintai stubbed out the cigar in the brass ashtray: "I don't care about feeding or not, I just know that things like Tan Tong'en will never happen again! I would rather have an honest and incompetent preacher than  Never allow a powerful person to snatch sheep again! Sheep are wealth!"

    In order to maintain absolute control, do you lower your preaching level?  Wang Qian broke into a cold sweat.

    Then Wang Qian continued to ask: "Brother, I don't know something, please give me some advice."

    "Brother, we are now a family, so don't be polite." Wang Xintai picked up a cup of soup and said with a sideways look.

    What Wang Qian said is: "I don't understand why you always attack other churches in church sermons? Last time you scolded the Methodist Church as a heretic, this time I heard that you scolded the Baptist Church. Although the plan of the other primary school may  They compete with our church¡¯s plan to establish primary schools, but that is an orthodox large church, so it¡¯s not good to scold them.¡±

    Wang Xintai raised his neck and drank the fish soup, laughing and said: "I have to scold you, and I have to scold the big church!"

    Wang Qian was stunned: "What kind of truth is this?"

    Wang Xintai asked a question: "Brother, how do you show your loyalty to Jesus?"

    This question is not easy to answer. The answer is often a lifetime, which is still very timid. Wang Qian was nervous and stuttered.

    Wang Xintai waved her finger and explained: "Let me tell you, it is very simple. Hatred is the fastest way to show one's loyalty."

    "What? Hatred shows loyalty?"

    "Yes! You see, in last year's palace examination, the emperor asked the candidates to debate whether tofu curd was salty or sweet, and it was a mess. But if there is a religion called Sweet Tofu Cult, how can we believers show our piety to the doctrine?

    The simplest and most correct way is to eat sweet tofu nao honestly for the rest of your life and never touch the salty ones. After you die like this, you can meet the tofu nao god and say: 'Look, I am your loyal servant.  ¡¯

    But this is too tiring and too stupid. You have been eating sweet tofu in silence your whole life. Who will remember you?  Who praised you?

    The quickest way is to find a kid who eats salted tofu pudding. Seeing that he is thin, has tattered clothes, and is easy to bully, you go up and punch him in the face, pour the salted tofu pudding on his head, and yell:  'You heretic!  ¡¯

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    At this point, Wang Xintai laughed loudly and opened the shell of a lobster, peeled out the tender meat inside, and said with a proud smile: "So, don't worry about me scolding them, I will keep scolding and hating them, no  In this case, who would say that I, Elder Wang Xintai, am pious?"

    "Sure enough, it is based on hatred as the foundation of faith. No, it is for getting rich and famous. Hatred is just a means." Wang Qian thought to herself, sweating heavily on her head, and she didn't know whether this cousin was a Christian.

    "How do you feel?" Wang Xintai asked his brother what he thought of the theory.

    Wang Qian wiped the sweat from his head and said with a wry smile: "Thank you Jesus Christ for giving us wisdom, but God has not given us the authority to judge other churches"

    When he was in confusion, he leaked out the second half of Tan Tongen's original words.

    At this time, my father spoke angrily: "Why don't you have authority? Your brother is the god of gout!"

    Wang Xintai laughed.  (To be continued)
