Chapter 356: A Thousand Taels of Gambling Money

Hua Bushi said: "I am by no means boasting, if you are willing to hand over the fighting dogs you raise to the 'Bark Tianlou' training, as long as the month is allowed, you will be able to make the dog's combat power greatly increased, and it is not impossible to defeat those Western dogs!"

The eldest young master's words were impassioned, but the expressions on the faces of everyone at the banquet were still very cold, and only a few people applauded perfunctorily. Although almost no one believes Hua Bushi's words, after all, he has a short mouth, and since he came to eat for nothing, he can slap these few times to give the master some face.

But at this time, I only heard someone say: "Young Master Hua said that if you hand over the dog to you for training, you can defeat those Western dogs, don't you think the cowhide is blowing too much?"

It is normal for people to open a new business and do business, even if they boast about themselves, everyone is invited to the banquet, all of them are guests, how to forcibly expose the words of the host's family, it is really too unreasonable!

Everyone thought the same way, and turned their heads to look, only to see that it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man who said this, wearing a blue satin tuopy jacket, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a white face, which really looked a little childish.

Hua Bushi had seen this young man when he was talking at the wine tables before, and he was a young proprietor of a firm called "Yi Tong", whose surname was Yi Mingnan, and he arched his hand at the moment and said, "Young Master Yi is invited." ”

Before Na Yi Nan could answer, an old man in gray robe on the side had already grabbed his hand, dragged him aside, and reprimanded: "What do you know?

This old man is Yi Leyan, the boss of "Easy Pass", who is the father of Yi Nan, seeing his son coming out indiscriminately regardless of the occasion, he hurriedly spoke out to stop him, and then shook his fist at Hua Bushi, and said: "Dogs don't know how to be polite, and they don't choose what to say, please don't be surprised by Hua Gongzi!"

Hua Bushi waved his hand and said: "Uncle Yi, this is very important! It only takes a few months of training to increase the strength of the fighting dogs, and it is not easy to defeat those Western dogs. ”

He smiled slightly, and said: "As the saying goes, hearing is false, and seeing is believing." If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I guess that most of the distinguished guests here would not have believed in our 'barking heavenly tower' dog training ability, just like Young Master Yi. Today, it is rare for you to come to enjoy the light, and Xiao Ke arranged a dog fighting competition, which was only used as a spare show to help everyone have a drink. ”

Hua Bushi said, and glanced at Xiao Qian'er. Xiao Qian'er waved her hand, and the two hotel guys had already lifted a large wooden cage from the backyard door, and the cage was locked up by the big brown-haired dog Baoliang.

The cage was carried to the front yard and lowered. The front yard of Yuelai Hotel is very spacious, for this dog fighting performance, Hua Bushi has already prepared, in the corner of the courtyard to let people erect two wooden fences, together with two courtyard walls, to form a square field.

The formal dog fighting arena is ten zhang square, surrounded by solid iron pillars, and this venue in the hotel courtyard can only be regarded as a simple dog fighting arena, but it is enough to do a dog fighting show. The rest of the courtyard is just where guests can stand and watch.

Hua Bushi said: "This fighting dog Baoliang ranked eighty-sixth in last year's 'Zixiaotai Fighting Dog Club', and most of you must know it. Three days ago, Xiao Ke has bought it, after these few days of careful training, today I will use it to fight the "Rui Xiang Ji" boat line of the fighting dog galleon, let you understand the effectiveness of my "bark Tianlou" dog training. ”

When the wooden cage was lifted out before, some guests were already muttering in a low voice, just because although Baoliang's strength was not strong, he was very familiar with people in the city, and almost no one knew it. These people are all in charge of the merchants who do ocean trade on Okura Island, and they have a clear ranking of the "Zixiao Fighting Dog Club", the wind of "Ruixiang Ji" ranks thirty-three, and Baoliang only ranks eighty-six, a difference of forty-three, and the difference between strength and weakness can be described as very large.

This Young Master Hua arranged this dog fight, could it be that he really had the certainty of letting this Baoliang defeat the strong with the weak, most of the people in the hall made such conjectures, but it was difficult to believe it.

Hua Bushi's gaze turned to a middle-aged man next to him and said, "Boss Chen, yesterday we have already agreed on the bet of today's fighting dogs, now please bring in the fighting dogs of your boat!"

This middle-aged man wears a melon skin hat and a mustache, and looks very shrewd, and he is Chen Yuanxiang, the head shopkeeper of the "Ruixiang Ji" shipping company. And behind him, a tall and thin man, was Tang Yuan, an animal trainer hired by the boat company.

This Boss Chen heard Hua Bushi's words, but sat motionless on the chair, and did not intend to ask someone to lift the fighting dog, after a while, he said unhurriedly: "Yesterday, Cao Yu Gongzi did find my 'Ruixiang Ji' boat line, and Chen also agreed to use the fighting dog of this boat line to fight with your Baoliang." However, before that, Chen had one more condition, if Young Master Hua and Cao Gongzi couldn't do it, Chen could only turn around and leave, and this dog fight would be stopped. ”

Hua Bushi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and Cao Duyun on the side had already said: "When Boss Chen promised Cao Yu to fight yesterday, he didn't say what conditions there were, but I don't know what conditions are there to mention today?"

Boss Chen said: "Yesterday, Cao Gongzi and Chen have already said that in this dog fighting competition, there will be no mistake in winning or losing a thousand taels of silver, right?"

Cao Duyun said: "Of course it's good. ”

Boss Chen said: "But as far as Chen knows, a few of you have recently come to the island, and they have neither assets nor ships, and they want to gamble with me for a thousand taels of silver, but it is a bit unbelievable." Chen's condition is very simple, as long as you can take a thousand taels of silver out, let me see, this ship can bet on dog racing with you, otherwise everything is not to be discussed, Chen will take the fighting dog back. ”

Hearing this, Cao Duyun was a little speechless for a while, unable to speak.

To say that Boss Chen's condition cannot be regarded as improper, since the two sides are real money gambling games, they naturally have the right to check each other's gambling money first. It's just that now Cao Duyun and Hua Bushi not only don't have a tael of silver around them, but they also owe 1,500 taels to usury, and even Hai Hongzhu has been mortgaged, how can they still get a thousand taels of gambling money to show Boss Chen for inspection.

Cao Duyun is a golden son in the capital, as long as he reports his name on weekdays, let alone a thousand taels of silver, even tens of thousands of taels on credit, no one will not trust him. But now, it was this ordinary mere 1,000 taels of silver that was not in his eyes, and he was stumped alive.

After a pause for a long time, Cao Duyun said: "Boss Chen, Cao Yu and Young Master Hua are both wealthy people, and they were only stranded on Okura Island because of a shipwreck at sea. And the fighting dog Baoliang we bought is worth at least two or three thousand silver taels, and if we lose, we will not rely on you. ”

Boss Chen shook his head and said, "On Okura Island, all business transactions are only accepted as cash and silver dollars, or money tickets issued by Wanbao Silver Village on the island. The fighting dog you bought is just a useless dog at the bottom of the 'Zixiao Conference', even if it is given to me for nothing, Chen still doesn't want it, and wants to use it to mortgage a thousand taels of silver, but he can't. ”

Cao Duyun frowned and said, "So how can Boss Chen trust us?"

Boss Chen said: "I have just said, as long as you take out the cash, I have nothing to say, but now it seems that you can't take out the silver." Anyway, don't say that Chen leaves no room for anything, as long as any trading firm on this island guarantees you, I will also believe you and gamble with you in this dog fight. ”

This Boss Chen's move seems to have given Cao Duyun and Hua Bushi an extra way to go, but this is still an unworkable road. They were new to the city of Okura, and they were unfamiliar with the place, so where could they find a trading firm to guarantee them the thousand taels of silver.

Seeing that Cao Hua and the others didn't speak, Boss Chen sneered: "You have no silver taels in your hands, and no one can guarantee them, so how can someone Chen trust you?

However, at this moment, I only heard someone say: "Wait! Isn't it just a guarantee of 1,000 taels of silver, we can just guarantee them with 'Easy Pass', and it will also save everyone a free trip, and they can't even watch a dog fight!"

The person who spoke was the young man who had just questioned the ability of "Barking Tianlou" to train dogs, and Yi Nan, the young owner of "Easy Pass".

Yi Leyan saw that his son was out of the way again, and was about to stop it, but Yi Nan said: "Daddy, although the child doesn't believe that this 'barking skybuilding' has much ability, but I see that the fighting dog Baoliang they moved out seems to be different from when I saw it before." Anyway, it's only a thousand taels of silver, so let's let everyone see the cost of dog fighting today!"

"Easy Pass" is not a small trading firm in Okura City, and a thousand taels of silver is not a large amount in the eyes of the Yi family's father and son, and this young owner Yi Nan is also very fond of fighting dogs, so he will refute it in person regardless of the face of the master just now.

Yi Leyan was quite proud of his son Yi Nan, and when he heard what his son had said, he had to say: "Okay, then we will spend some money on 'Yi Tong' and let everyone have a good time." ”

Things in this world are sometimes so strange, and people who are looking for trouble are sometimes the ones who will help you, and people who are full of good words are often unreliable when you are in trouble.

Seeing that the father and son of the Yi family were willing to vouch for the "Barking Sky Tower", Boss Chen's face was gloomy. However, what has been said cannot be changed, and since the other party has someone to vouch for, there is no reason to refuse the dog fight.
