In the book "The Story of Avanti", a story about "Meal Money" is told: A poor man came to Avanti and said: It is really hard for us poor people!Yesterday I stood at the door of a restaurant owned by Bayi (that is, the rich man, the author's note). Bayi said that I smelled the smell of food in his restaurant and asked me to pay, but of course I refused.He went to Kazi (that is, the religious judge, the author's note) and sued me.Kazi decided to judge today.Can you give me some justice? OK, OK!Afanti agreed immediately, and accompanied the poor man to see Kazi. Bayi had arrived long ago and was having a pleasant conversation with Kazi.

As soon as Kazi saw the poor, he couldn't help but scolded: Shameless!You smell the aroma of Bayi food, how dare you not pay for it!Give Bayi the money for the meal! Slow down, Kazi!Afanti stepped forward, saluted, and said, this man is my elder brother, he has no money, so I will pay Bayi for the meal. While talking, Avanti took out a small bag containing copper coins from his waist, held it to Bayi's ear and shook it a few times, then asked Bayi: "Bay, do you hear the loud voice in the pocket?" What?Oh, I hear you!heard it!Bai said. Well, he smelled the aroma of your rice, you heard the voice of my money, and our accounts are settled.

After Afanti finished speaking, he took the poor man's hand and walked away swaggeringly. Smelling the aroma of the food is equivalent to eating the food, so you have to pay for it. This is the sophistry of Bayi and Kazi to blackmail the poor.Its sophistry method is to deliberately confuse objective things (food) with certain aspects of things (the aroma and smell of food). From a conceptual point of view, it is to confuse smell with eating, and replace the concept of eating with the concept of smell. . Avanti does not positively defend things and their attributes, and how different smelling and eating are, but first let the other party hear the sound of copper coins in his pocket, and then explain that he has paid for the meal. This is called tit for tat, fighting poison with fire.Since you think that smelling the aroma of food is equivalent to eating food, then you must also admit that hearing the sound of money is equivalent to getting money.This cleverly exposes the opponent's sophistry, leaving him speechless and speechless.
