Two fat monks, Ming Zhen and Ming Xing, were swaggering along the street in An He City. Each of them had a huge wooden fish forged from gold in his left hand, and a long knocker forged from silver in his right. With every few steps they took, they would knock the wooden fish and fill the air with a loud, almost ear-splitting sound.
The people of An He City studied the two strange-looking men cautiously, whose attires were very different from theirs. They were particularly surprised by the monks' hairless heads and big, fat bellies. Regardless of their status, gender, or age, it was rare for the people of Great Yu to have such a fat body.
How could those common people who were lowborn grow a fat body when they had to work hard in farming, herding, fishing, all the laborious jobs, just so that they could put food on their tables?
