Chapter 157 on Dragon Boats
Bai Jide and the Xia family brothers and sisters crossed the vast sea of people and finally came to the Zuixian Building, the Zuixian Building is the highest restaurant in the city, and the banquets and gatherings of officials are generally in this Zuixian Building. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Zuixian Building has three floors high, there are not many floors, but the first floor is about two zhang high, built near the river, warm in winter and cool in summer.
"From here, you can see the landscape of the whole city at a glance." Bai Jide and Xia Cao leaned on the window and said.
"Brother Bai, it's hard to decide on this private room and it costs a lot of money, right? Actually, you don't have to be so polite. I can find any restaurant, and I think my own food is delicious. Xia Cao said as she looked out at the scene.
"It's not very difficult, in fact, the boss who opened the Drunken Immortal Building owed my grandfather a life back then, so it's not very difficult to book a private room, the wine and food in the Drunken Immortal Building are the most delicious in the city, we haven't seen each other for so many years, of course it's best for Big Brother Bai to invite you to dinner."
"Brother Bai, did you invite anyone else?" Natsucao asked, tilting her head. She was really frightened by such a big battle just now, she was not afraid to talk to people, but there were too many flies and she was too lazy to fly away. There are many things to do, and where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there must be disputes.
"Big Brother Bai, come over here and see what we have brought you?" Xia Maihe shouted, people who don't know Sven, he poured out the inventory in the sack.
The original dinner table was occupied by the gifts brought by Xia Cao, "Xiaocao, it's not fair." There are so many dried strawberries you left for Big Brother Bai, how can there be dried mangoes, I haven't eaten this. Xia Maihe said with an indignant look, alluding to Xia Cao's eccentric behavior.
"I made all the zongzi for you to eat, and there is no zongzi for Brother Bai during the Dragon Boat Festival today, why don't you say it! And why don't you say that mango smoothie I made for you? Xia Cao asked rhetorically, leaving Xia Maihe speechless.
"Yes, it tastes good." Wufeng directly opened a bamboo tube and poured it out directly to eat the work inside. "Dried mango is tastier and less sweet than dried strawberries." Wufeng also commented.
"Oh no, second brother, you are so strong, the preserved eggs in it are not broken, right?" Xia Cao opened a wooden box with hindsight, feeling apprehensive.
"Fortunately, I had the foresight to put a lot of straw in it, otherwise you would have broken this preserved egg." Xia Cao said to Xia Maihe.
"Xiaocao, this preserved egg is the preserved egg lean porridge you made for us last time, and it is this preserved egg in it. I didn't eat them, how did you give them all away. Xia Qiaomu asked jokingly.
Xia Cao thought about the last time she made preserved egg and lean porridge for her eldest brother, but it turned out that she seemed to ask Death Yin later, and then the eldest brother went back with him, and it was Wufeng who drank up the preserved egg porridge. Then after her accident, the eldest brother came back that night to discuss the lawsuit, and there was no time to make preserved egg porridge for the eldest brother.
"Big brother, we still have a lot of these eggs at home, I can make them for you at any time." Summer grass soothes.
"Second brother, why are you like Master, you have eaten all the gifts for Brother Bai."
Xia Maihe couldn't resist the temptation of dried mangoes, opened a bamboo tube and ate it, relishing it, and swore to hold the bamboo tube tightly.
After waiting for a long time, the meal from the Drunken Immortal Building finally came up. 12 dishes, local specialties, crispy roast pork, white chopped chicken, shrimp with slippery eggs, pineapple grunt pork, steamed sea bass, plum cabbage button pork......
"Eat quickly, you're welcome." Bai Jide said.
Brother Bai's meal is almost worth more than half a year's worth of silver, and Xia Cao feels that this meal can't be served. Bai Jide's family opened a medical clinic, and it is estimated that they don't make a lot of money.
However, the chef here is really good, and the dishes cooked are much better than those in the county, just by looking at the wind buried in the dishes, you can know that the level of the chef is self-evident.
"By the way, when will the dragon boat race start Big Brother Bai."
"It should be soon! There are nine teams participating in this dragon boat race, and every three teams will draw lots to form a group for the preliminary round. The team that won first in each group advances to the finals. ”
"How many people are in each team?" Xia Maihe asked, as long as they hunt in spring, there is only dragon boat racing in their county, so they don't know anything about the dragon boat racing system.
"Each team consists of 25 people, including a captain and team member, a helmsman, a gong player, a drummer, and 20 rowers. And their dragon boat races have to prepare by themselves. You'll find out later, their dragon boat races are still dressed up quite interesting. ”
"Brother Bai, are your teams for the dragon boat competition free to sign up?"
"Yes! If you want to participate, you can only form a team. The top three teams in the end can also be paid handsomely. Bai Jide said.
"So that's the case, Brother Bai, why didn't you talk about it earlier, otherwise we will form a team to participate in the competition." Xia Qiaomu said, is he like this, is the dragon boat race as life-threatening as the spring hunting competition, and there is a good reward Why don't you sign up, the teenagers in their Wusu Town can sign up with a few students in the school.
"You think it's easy to win first place! Second brother, wake up your brain, this kind of competition is the most important thing to work together, and we don't have drummers and gong players. This kind of competition has to be practiced for a long time, do you have that time period contact, otherwise you may chatter for eight days and the dragon boat is still rolling in place. Xia Cao said sharply.
"As Xia Cao said, there are really people who follow Mai He's younger brother's temperament to participate in the competition, it has been a long time, their dragon boats are still spinning in place, people have crossed the finish line, their dragon boats have not yet rowed, and finally become the laughing stock of the people in the city. Every time the Dragon Boat Festival is one, several of them will be mentioned and laughed at for a while. So there was no one to sign up in the future. ”
"Did you hear that, second brother? Wake up! Your dream of making a fortune. Xia Cao looked at Xia Maihe and said, he knew that the second brother must be competing for the silver two.
"However, this dragon boat race can still make money. There is a gambling game, the casino people arrange the gambling rate according to the strength of the participating teams, the strong team, generally has a probability of about one to one, the weak team may have a gambling game of one to thirty, but the average person will not suppress the weak team. The probability of a dark horse appearing in the dragon boat in Guinan City is very small, and it is ignored to nothing. Bai Jide continued to explain.
"Casinos? Big Brother Bai, let's bet on it, right? When Xia Cao heard that there was a gambling game, she was so excited that she wanted to go and see the excitement.
"You should be able to place bets now, right?" Natsukusa continued to ask.
