Zuo Jian looked sideways, and saw an old man with gray hair, straight waist, spirited Zhai Shuo, a little curious in his eyes, and a kind smile, I don't know when, came to his side, and was looking at himself with interest.

"Well, I didn't eat at night." Zuo Jian nodded and asked casually, "Old man, do you want to have some?" ”

At this time, on the other side of the hall, everyone gathered around Wu Tian, bursts of laughter and lively conversations, while on the other side, Zuo Jian was the only one who was eating and drinking here, which was clear and out of place.

You must know that such a drinking party does not happen every day, and the people who participate in the drinking party are not casual if they want to see it. It can be said that this is a once-in-a-lifetime feast, and the people present are all here with the purpose of making money, like Zuo Jian, it is really rare, and it is definitely an outlier.

"Thanks, I've already eaten." The old man smiled and refused.

"Oh." Zuo Jian nodded, ignored him, and continued to eat there.

On the huge table, there were already seven or eight empty plates, but looking at Zuo Jian's appearance, there was no sign of planning to shut his mouth, this guy's stomach seemed to be like a bottomless pit, and he couldn't fill it no matter how he ate.

"Young man, you don't come here just to eat."

Seeing Zuo Jian's gobbling up, the old man couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, is it really that delicious?

"Sort of." Zuo Jian swallowed the food in his mouth hard, touched his stomach, took a breath, put down his chopsticks, looked at the many foods left on the table, and suddenly remembered the previous days, couldn't help but feel a little emotional, shook his head and said: "Alas, the amount of food has been greatly reduced, if it was before, I'm afraid I can eat three more plates!" ”

The old man couldn't help laughing, and interjected curiously, "Young man, what did you do before?" So edible? ”

Zuo Jian didn't answer her words, but took out a cigarette and gestured to hand it to the old man, "Do you want one?" ”

Dashan brand cigarettes? Glancing at the cigarette sign, the old man shook his head and refused.

Zuo Jian didn't care, lit a cigarette, and smoked it, "Food is a gift from God to us, sometimes, a mouthful of food, maybe you will survive...... Hehe, those who have not experienced it will never be able to appreciate the preciousness of food! He remembered that once upon a time, he was on a mission, lost his way in the arid desert, and later, he managed to find a few four-legged snakes, barely filled his stomach, survived, and walked out of the desert.

Hearing Zuo Jian's words, the old man's body shook, and for a moment, he remembered that decades ago, business failed, he was down on the street, he was up and down, only a pitiful few cents, and he couldn't even afford to eat a bowl of noodles, that was the most depressed and bleak situation in his life, with the passage of time, he was almost about to forget those things, however, Zuo Jian's words made the memories in his heart, and suddenly, all of them poured out.

After being silent for a while, the old man nodded and said with deep understanding: "You are right, food is a gift from God to us, and we should not waste him like this." As he spoke, he moved his steps, brought a plate from the side, selected a few favorite foods, and ate them slowly.

Zuo Jian was stunned for a moment, why is this old man so strange? He kindly reminded: "Old man, you are old, it is better to eat less at night." ”

"Hehe, it's okay." The old man smiled slightly, and slowly chewed the food in his mouth, "Although I am old, my digestive function should be pretty good, if I am dozens of years younger, I may eat more than you!" ”

"Bragging, you?" Zuo Jian laughed out loud and said casually: "If I'm hungry, I can eat ten catties of rice in one meal, can you eat so much when you're young?" ”

"Ten pounds of rice?" The old man smiled, "Are you mistaken?" Even if it's a pig, you can't eat ten catties in one meal! ”

Hearing the old man's words, Zuo Jian's face was not red, and he said breathlessly: "I knew you wouldn't believe it." Forget it, I'm full today, otherwise, I have to let you see what a big stomach is! ”

The old man smiled, and suddenly, with great interest, looked at the table full of food, and said, "Why don't we bet." ”

"Bet?"

Zuo Jian let out a puff of smoke and said: "Old man, I tell you in advance, I am known as the king of gambling, but no one who bets with me dares to bet with me for the second time." You know why? Because they only gambled with me once, they knew that they were not my opponents at all, so they were too scared to bet with me again! Have you ever been to Macau? People there call me the Left Gambling King, and if you've ever been to Macau, you've definitely heard of my nickname! ”

"Huh, huh?" The old man frowned, looked at him, shook his head and said, "Macau, I've also been there, but I haven't heard of anyone called Zuo Gambling King?" ”

It's not good, the cowhide is blowing a little big, and it's going to be pierced. Zuo Jian took a puff of cigarette and said quietly: "Believe it or not." By the way, you say bet, is there a bet? If you don't have a bet, I won't be with you. Well, also, if it's a bet on poker pai gow mahjong, I don't play either, I play those things every day, it's too boring! ”

The old man couldn't help but laugh.

"What's wrong? What to laugh at? Zuo Jian asked weakly.

"Young man, gambling is playing pai gow mahjong, you say you don't play these things, you must not be able to play at all, right?" The old man ruthlessly pierced Zuo Jian's cowhide.

"Hehe, old man, you misunderstood what I meant, I want to say that if you bet with me, unless it is a fresh gambling method, I will not bet with you." Zuo Jianwu argued hard to himself.

"Well, don't worry, we'll bet on something fresh today." The old man smiled, pointed to the food on the table and said, "Let's bet to see who eats more, how about it?" This gambling method is absolutely fresh, right? As for the bet, it is better to do this, the person who wins can make a request to the other party, and the losing party must agree to the other party's request, and cannot shirk or find a reason. ”

Gambling on eating too much?

Hearing the old man's words, the cigarette butt in Zuo Jian's mouth almost fell off.

"How? Do you dare? The old man looked at Zuo Jian's stunned look, and laughed: "You also said just now, food is a gift from God to us, and it should not be wasted." I've had dinner tonight, and you've just eaten, so this gamble is fair to both you and me......"

"Wrong, wrong, wrong. Miss by a mile. Zuo Jian came back to his senses, interrupted the old man's words, and said, "First, you said that you had dinner at night, do you have a proof?" Second, if you only drank one bowl of gruel tonight, you can count as having eaten, right? As you can see now, I have eaten all the empty plates here, and I have been at a disadvantage from the very beginning of your gamble; Third ......"

"Don't talk about it, young man." The old man pursed his lips, glanced at him, and said, "You have all this reason, you know?" In a word, if you admit that you are a man, you will bet with me that if you don't admit it, then forget it. ”

Seeing the old man's contemptuous look, knowing that the other party was agitating himself, Zuo Jian couldn't help but be angry, "Come, bet, bet, I'm afraid you won't succeed?" ”

"Haha, that's right!" The old man nodded, laughed, and said, "This is like a man!" ”

At this time, a young man wearing a straight suit, a sturdy figure, and a capable face suddenly walked from the door of the hall, walked quickly to the old man's side, and whispered a few words to him.

"It's okay, I'm coming here today, just go around casually, don't care about anything, and besides, I'm betting with others right now, and I don't have time to worry about those idle things." The old man said impatiently, "If there is anything, I'll talk about it later." ”

When the young man heard the word bet, a helpless wry smile appeared on his face, he turned his head, with a little vigilance in his eyes, glanced at Zuo Jian, and reluctantly stepped aside.

Seeing this, Zuo Jian hurriedly said pretendedly: "Old man, if you have something to do, go first." "He'd eaten so much that his stomach was almost full, and he wasn't really sure he could win if he wanted to, but thankfully, he hadn't been drinking, so he could barely eat a little more.

"No hurry, no hurry. I don't really have anything to do. It's never too late to talk after the gamble. "The old man finally found someone to bet with himself, where is he willing to let go of this opportunity, you know, his biggest hobby in life is to bet with people. Although he also knows that this problem is not good, he just can't fix it.

"Isn't that right?" Zuo Jian still didn't give up, and then made the last struggle, "Is it important to get down to business?" ”

"It's okay, we bet, it's the biggest business!" The old man smiled, and with a roll of his eyes, he waved at the young man next to him.

"Grandpa, what's the matter with you?" The young man walked briskly.

"I made a bet with him, you will be a witness, remember, no favoritism, no speech, just watch." The old man raised his voice a few degrees slightly and looked at Zuo Jian, "Are you ready, if you're ready, let's start?" ”

Zuo Jian took a deep puff of his cigarette and threw the cigarette butt to the ground, "Ready!" ”

"By the way, you can only choose a full plate of food, those who have already eaten it do not count, and then, see who eats more empty plates, who wins. Ready, one, two, three, go! ”

The old man shouted, and immediately, picked up the chopsticks, aimed at a plate of spinach, and started the wall first, the rule of the game is to see who eats more plates, in this case, it is obvious that you have to eat more vegetables than meat.

What an old fox!

Seeing the food the old man chose, Zuo Jian understood his thoughts in an instant, and hurriedly rushed to the table, grabbed a plate of lettuce, and devoured it.

The young man on the side suddenly looked like Alzheimer's. He couldn't have imagined that these two people were actually betting on the competition to see who would eat more......
