Chapter 21 Willing to Gamble and Lose
It's March 3 in the blink of an eye.
The weather on this day was particularly good, the sky was very blue, the clouds were very white, the wind was light, and the willow branches were swinging.
Before the sun came out, Xiao Tuanzi was already sitting on Liu Chengfang's shoulder and headed towards Xinglong Street.
This year is the spring of the fourth day of the first month, March 3 has passed the Qingming for several days, the wheat seedlings have spit out the ears, the rape flowers bloom just right, the mountain flowers are brilliant all the way, and the green trees are shady. It is the time of year when the farmers are at their most relaxed, and it is very suitable for cockfighting.
It just happened to be the Shangsi Festival again, and there were already a lot of big girls and little daughters-in-law who were showing off their flowers and branches by the river, holding camelina near the water, laughing and playing.
Climbing over a hillside, is the street of Xinglong Town, where the vendors' stalls have been erected, and there are all kinds of things. Liu Chengfang sat down at the stalls selling tofu brains and asked Wang Jing for tofu brain fritters, while he himself asked for a bowl of noodles in the noodle restaurant next to him and told the store to bring it over.
A group of trumpeters, suona and waist drums slowly walked over, followed by a sedan chair carried by eight people.
Someone stopped in front, and the groom on the tall horse sprinkled several handfuls of sugar with a smile, and everyone dispersed in a hurry, ran to grab the sugar, and the sedan chair continued to move forward.
"This Feng family is the same, when the green and yellow are not accepted, the daughter-in-law is married, and the banquet has to be thicker than that of other families." The man who ate breakfast said.
"The Feng family has a big business, just how much business they have taken from the Wu family, how can they care about this little money." Another person answered.
"Show it all, I heard it say, north, those brides spent the first night with the Tartar cave ......," someone whispered.
"Impossible, right? What happens when the child is born? Someone asked.
"The first child, definitely won't want it, it must be drowned!"
……
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings fell silent.
After half a cup of tea, someone broke the silence and changed the subject: "After eight. Nine days, it is the valley rain again, and after the valley rain, it will be summer, and the crops will be harvested again. This year is going to be a good year. ”
Gradually, the people began to talk about the harvest again.
Wang Jing's tofu brain and fritters had been eaten, and when she looked up and found that the bowl in front of Liu Cheng was empty, she wiped the corners of her mouth and stood up.
Liu Chengfang squatted down to hug her, but Wang Jing shook his head, "Let's go together, when we grow up, it's awkward to sit on our shoulders." ”
If he doesn't lose to Zheng Qingwen, I'm afraid that his wife won't have to work so hard all day long.
"After this fight, Dad will never fight cocks again." Liu Chengfang said.
"What is Daddy going to do?"
"I don't know, there's no way out of studying these days." Liu Chengfang sighed, "Forget it, you're still young, and my father won't tell you this." ”
As he spoke, he had already arrived in front of the cockfighting pit.
There were already many people waiting there, Liu Chengfang handed over Hongguang to the chicken handle, and Zheng Qingwen handed over his dark cloud covered snow.
Zheng Qingwen asked Liu Chengfang with a smile, "Pavilion Chief, don't you change the chicken?" Everyone knows that your chicken lost last year, if I win again this year, I'm afraid it will cause public anger, and besides, you are my boss, and I will win you again this time, I'm afraid that those who don't know will make irresponsible remarks. ”
Liu Chengfang was very tired in his heart, but he said, "I am willing to gamble and lose, since I Liu dare to play, I can afford to lose." ”
The corners of Zheng Qingwen's mouth involuntarily hooked, and he quietly took out three hundred taels of silver tickets, "Then our bet might as well be the same as the last time." ”
Liu Chengfang frowned, "We are a small place here, why don't we have less at once?" ”
Zheng Qingwen still said the same sentence, "You."
Zheng Qingwen has the certainty of winning this chicken race, because he coated fox fat on the body of the dark clouds and snow, and the chickens are most afraid of foxes.
This time, he still used this method, and he was determined to get the Liu family's silver.
Liu Chengfang sighed, "You also know that our family is average, and we won't carry so much silver on our bodies, but I am your boss, if I take less, I am afraid that others will think that I am a bully, so it is better for me to write an IOU." ”
Zheng Qingwen heard him say that he had no money, and he thought that he would stop gambling, and he was very disappointed. After hearing this, he put forward an IOU, "The IOU is the same, the pavilion master has always done what he says, and he will definitely not rely on the gambling account." ”
In and out of the words, they all decided that they would definitely win.
The chicken handle checked the chickens on both sides one by one and returned them to them.
The two of them put the chickens into the chicken pit at the same time, no more than a foot apart.
Wuyun Gaixue and Hongguang both took a step back, stretched their necks and stared at each other fiercely for a while, Wuyun Gaixue finally couldn't help jumping up first, and pecked straight at Hongguang's head, Hongguang realized its intentions, and jumped up all of a sudden, Wuyun Gaixue pecked on the back of the chicken, Hongguang's hair was pecked off, and the chicken subconsciously hid to the side in pain.
The people who were good with Zheng Qingwen were happy, "I am afraid that the money in Pavilion Chang Liu's family is too much to spend, I lost a few hundred taels of silver last year, and I will not repent this year, so I hugged it again." ”
"The Liu family made a lot of money just selling rabbit skins last year, so why don't you care about that." Someone gloated and answered.
"People are masters, and ideas are not something that we ordinary people can understand." Someone sarcastically said.
Hongguang was in pain, and he was eager for revenge, so he jumped on the back of the dark cloud and covered the snow, and pecked at its head fiercely, and a piece of the cockscomb was torn off, and blood dripped down the chicken's head to the ground.
Zheng Qingwen was in a hurry, and he was about to reach out to hug the chicken.
"Lao Zheng, you can't hug it, if you hug it, you will lose this game." Chicken handlebar reminded.
Zheng Qingwen's hand retracted, his eyes were round, there was no blood on his face, and he stared at Hongguang fiercely.
Or the same person, or the same chicken, why is it that all of a sudden it doesn't hide? Could it be that the fox grease is missing?
The dark cloud covered the snow and suffered pain, and the momentum weakened by three points all of a sudden, Hongguang won with one blow, and his confidence skyrocketed, and pecked it according to the eyes of the dark cloud cover snow, and pecked directly on the eyeballs, the dark cloud covered the snow before relying on the fox fat to win, and now this trick is ineffective for Hongguang, and he can't think of any other moves, so he actually stood there stunned, Hongguang saw that it was not moving, no matter what three seven or twenty pecked at the cockscomb and refused to lose it.
Speaking of which, this dark cloud cover snow is also a chicken rack, and the scary thing is the fox smell on the body, and now Hongguang has been training under this smell for a month, and he has long been immune, so it's no wonder if he can't win.
Not only did he win, but the dark clouds covered the snow and lay directly on the ground and refused to get up.
In the second and second games, even if Zheng Qingwen increased the amount of fox grease cream, his chicken didn't fight at all, and it couldn't play a role.
Zheng Qingwen secretly called "evil door". When the chicken gave Liu Chengfang three hundred taels of silver and the deed to the field, he fainted directly.
Xiao Tuanzi didn't care so much, tilted his head and glanced at him, "If you want to gamble and lose, what are you pretending to be dizzy?" The tone was very disdainful.
