Source of allusion

It is said that once upon a time, there lived in a village such four eloquent people as cook, tailor, handlebar and boat handle. When people in the village come across any disputes, they have to ask them to make peace.

Once a family broke up and asked these four people to mediate. Because this matter is very difficult, four people will first come to the chef's house to come up with ideas. The chef first said, "let's cut the mess quickly. Don't tell the difference between the pot and the bowl." The tailor said, "we can't be too biased. We have to go through the needle and the thread." "Handlebar style then said:" in fact, it is not difficult, before the car, after the rut, do not go out of the big case I've been impatient with the handle for a long time. He said, "let's not be so wordy. I'll see you there again, the wind makes the rudder."

The cook's daughter-in-law listened to the music: "you are really three words do not leave the profession, sell what shout what." As soon as she finished, the cook, the tailor, the handlebar and the boat handle laughed again. It turned out that the cook's daughter-in-law was a small business herself.
