Chapter 298: Gambling on Stones
Mankouxiang Restaurant is the only restaurant in the town, and the dishes in it are full of color, flavor and flavor, and many people come here.
Wang Chen pulled Wang Li'er and walked in.
The guy looked them up and down, beckoned the two of them to sit down in the hall, and enthusiastically introduced the dishes to Wang Chen.
That is, because Wang Chen and the two of them changed their clothes, otherwise they would definitely be kicked out as beggars when they came to this mouthful restaurant.
"Guest, what kind of dishes do you want to eat, our restaurant has all kinds of dishes, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, running on the ground, everything is available. ”
The guy opened his mouth.
"Let's have a sauerkraut fish head, braised elbow, spicy dragon ......"
Wang Chen looked at the menu, although he had never seen or eaten any of these dishes, he simply looked at which name was pleasing to the eye, and ordered whichever one he ordered, and after a while, he ordered more than a dozen dishes, and the guy was also a little stunned, thinking that these two little guys should not be here to eat the overlord meal!
So many dishes.
"Guest, if you two of us, so many dishes are enough, if you order too much, it will be a waste. The guy turned around and reminded him, wanting to test whether Wang Chen was rich or not, so he wouldn't care if Wang Chen could finish eating.
Wang Chen was also excited, and when he heard the meaning of the man's words, he patted his waist, revealing a few round silver.
When the guy saw it, the stone hanging in his heart was put down, and he felt that these two were rich people.
"Gotta say hello to what you want to eat. ”
Wang Chen looked at it and said, "That's it for now, if it's not enough, then order." ”
"Okay, guest officer, we have a good daughter in the store, Honghe, Huadiao, you ......" The guy subconsciously spoke, but Wang Chen's small body swallowed the words behind him, child, shouldn't be able to drink bars!
"Go, get me a pool of Huadiao wine. Wang Chen slapped the table and said proudly.
The guy nodded, and hurriedly left to arrange food and wine for Wang Chen.
After a while, the table was full of all kinds of sumptuous delicacies, and he and Wang Li'er couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw it.
"Let's eat!" Wang Chen said with a smile, and he was not polite after speaking, and greeted him directly.
Wang Li'er didn't care about the image, and ate it in a big gulp, although the eating was indecent, but no one said anything, after all, looking at these two are just children!
"This sauerkraut fish, it tastes really good, it turns out that this is it, if I hear those miners brag in the future, I can say a few words. ”
"And this spicy dragon, it's clearly a dry loach, but the taste is really strong, very good. ”
"This palace fried eel shreds, it's so delicious. ”
Wang Chen couldn't help but admire.
And at this time, an old man had come to the restaurant without anyone paying attention, sitting at a table against the window, his eyes seemed to fall on Wang Chen, who was gobbling up, intentionally or unintentionally, and said in his heart, a martial artist exercises a lot every day, and the amount of food is several times that of a normal person, looking at the boy's eating appearance, and so many dishes on the table, he must be a martial artist, he didn't run, a seven or eight-year-old martial artist, no one really believes it, but it appeared in front of his eyes, it seems that he must find a chance to talk to this kid, if possible, or to pull them to the Han family。
With this kid's qualifications, he will definitely be a good help in the future.
A gust of wind and clouds devoured, and more than a dozen dishes on the table were all eaten, of course, most of them were eaten by Wang Chen, although Wang Li'er also ate, but she couldn't eat too much, and it didn't take long for her to be full.
Wang Chen stretched out comfortably and beckoned Xiao Er to come over to settle the bill.
Xiao Er looked at the clean table, with more than a dozen empty plates, and was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Wang Chen, only then did he realize that he was so able to eat.
Anyway, there have been a lot of strange things that have happened to me in the past few days, and this one is not bad.
"How much. ”
Wang Chen asked.
"Guest, you ordered eighteen dishes, a total of four taels and five dollars and twelve copper plates, and the wine money was five dollars of silver, and twelve copper plates were discounted, just give me five taels of silver. The man spoke.
In fact, a normal meal in their Mankouxiang restaurant is enough for a maximum of one penny of silver, but Wang Chen and the two of them are all hard dishes, and any one of them is ridiculously expensive, especially a dish of eel, just this dish is worth one or two silver.
"Five taels ......" Wang Chen's hand on his waist was stunned, and he looked at the guy: "How much do you say?"
"The guests, the money for food, and the money for wine are five taels of silver. The guy said patiently, looking at Wang Chen, when he patted his waist bag and rushed to the uncle when he just ordered, it was not like now.
The corners of Wang Chen's mouth twitched, looked at the vegetable basket on the table, and pulled the man's collar violently.
"Are you looking for death? I only have a few dishes, you dare to ask me for five taels of silver, are you made of gold?" Wang Chen said viciously, is this an unknown bully, even if a dish is a penny of silver, it is less than two taels in total, but all of a sudden he actually asked himself for five taels, which is obviously a pit person.
"Guest, these dishes are said to be ordered by yourself, we have bills for each dish here, and there are quotations, such as the sauerkraut fish head you ordered, which uses the best ingredients, a three-dollar silver, and the guests who often eat here know the price, as well as the eel silk you ordered, this plate is one or two silver, which is one of the most expensive dishes in our store, and ...... Anyway, you can order all the most expensive dishes in our store. ”
The guy said with an aggrieved face, he wanted to struggle, but found that he couldn't struggle, and it was really ugly to be carried up by a seven or eight-year-old child.
"Forehead ......"
Wang Chen then remembered that when he ordered the food, he found that there seemed to be numbers behind the dishes, but weren't those numbers the numbers recorded? How could they be money counts......
Wang Chen didn't know what to do, let go of the hand that grabbed the guy, took out his waist, and took out the remaining one, two, and five cents.
"I only have one or two and a half pieces of silver here, so I'll give you one tael first, and I owe you four taels of silver, give me half a day, no, an hour's time, and I'll send you the money." ”
Wang Chen opened his mouth with a little weakness.
When the guy heard this, he immediately smiled and looked at Wang Chen: "Are you here to open a charity, you say you owe, what if you run away?"
"Don't worry, I won't run, I promise, give me an hour in the world, and I will definitely be able to send you money. Wang Chen explained.
"Don't talk nonsense, I see that you just want to eat the overlord meal, come on, arrest this kid for me, catch the shopkeeper where, let the shopkeeper decide. ”
At this time, several guys rushed up and grabbed Wang Chen, Wang Li'er looked at it with horror on her face, she never thought that she would eat so much silver in one meal, and she didn't know what to do for a while.
Wang Chen was held down by a group of people, and he couldn't struggle, so he could only be twisted and taken to a room.
At this time, there was a group of people in the house.
One of them is the shopkeeper who is full of incense, Huang Ding.
The other people are Huang Ding's business friends, because Huang Xiang likes to gamble stones, and this time his friend brought back a few good pieces of material and wanted to sell them to Huang Ding.
"Brother Huang, these pieces of material, the quality is good, when our brother collects it, a piece of five hundred taels of silver, a total of two thousand taels, if you want, we don't say much, these pieces of you give us an errand money, give me two thousand six hundred taels, the right to ask for auspiciousness." ”
Huang Dingzuo looked and looked, these materials are good, and there is also green with a lampshade, if it can really be green, then it will earn more than a little bit, but if it is not opened, two thousand six hundred taels is not a small number.
"You guys have good materials, but I'm still not sure, after all, more than two thousand six hundred taels, nearly three thousand, is not a small number, you let me think about it again. Huang Ding said.
The people glanced at each other: "Boss Huang, these materials are definitely the best materials, there is a seventy percent chance that they can be green, don't hesitate, that is, we have a good relationship, after we get the materials, you are the first to find them." ”
Huang Ding was a little excited, seventy percent, but not small!
These conversations happened to be overheard by Wang Chen.
And Wang Chen is being escorted by a group of guys.
Wang Chen's eyes rolled, he thought of an opportunity to save money for food, and hurriedly shouted: "Shopkeeper, I know that among these materials, the one can bloom green." ”
Although, Wang Chen doesn't know what it means to be green, but as long as it is something inside the stone, he can definitely see it clearly at a glance.
Hearing the voice, Huang Ding was stunned for a moment, then put down the stone in his hand, pushed open the door and walked out, and the guy outside was holding a seven or eight-year-old boy.
Huang Ding glanced at it, frowned, and asked, "What's going on?"
"This kid in charge of the shopkeeper eats the overlord's meal, and he just ate five taels of silver for a meal, but he only gave one tael of silver, and he still owes six taels. The man spoke.
Huang Ding glanced at Wang Chen up and down, motioned for the guy to release Wang Chen, and then said, "You just said that you can know the inside of the material, which one can produce green?"
Just a few taels of silver, Huang Ding can't see it, what he cares about now is those materials.
Wang Chen nodded: "I grew up in the mine since I was a child, and I have worked as a miner for a long time, and I have seen a lot of stones, so I can know that there is green in those stones." ”
Wang Chen guessed that the green in this stone might be the same as the crystal ore.
Huang Ding was a little unconvinced: "Stretch out your hand and let me see." ”
Wang Chen stretched out his hand, only to see that Wang Chen's hands were full of calluses, and there were many scars, looking at the scars, he could see that he was scratched by some sharp stones.
Based on these alone, Huang Ding was still unsure, and then put Wang Chen's hand under his nose and sniffed it, and sure enough, he smelled some mineral soil.
It seems that this kid is not lying.
Sometimes, when luck comes, you will naturally meet the right person.
"Little brother, if you can help me recognize that there is green in those ingredients, as long as you can open it, not to mention the wine money for your meal, how about I give you a hundred taels of silver?" Huang Ding looked at Wang Chen and said.
Since you can't get it for sure, it's better to let Wang Chen give it a try, they are still a little superstitious about doing business.
Today happened to be the time when he took over the material, and it happened that Wang Chen was caught in front of him because he had no money to pay for the meal, and he happened to tell himself that he knew the material.
"Good. Wang Chen nodded.
"But if it doesn't come out, what do you do?"
Huang Ding's words suddenly changed and asked Wang Chen.
Wang Chen paused: "If it doesn't come out, my life is yours." ”
Hearing Wang Chen's words, Huang Ding was stunned, because no one can really say anything about the road of gambling on stones, and he is not 100% sure, he thinks that Wang Chen will explain, after all, it is a stone, and no one can see what is inside the stone.
And Wang Chen actually guaranteed the ticket like this, which made him obviously a little unexpected.
"Well, I believe you. Huang Ding said affirmatively, and then walked to the house with Wang Chen.
A few people in the house looked at Wang Chen, and they didn't say anything, anyway, they are here to sell materials today, as for whether the materials can be green, they are not sure, anyway, these things are bought by luck.
"I'm tired of my little brother. Huang Ding brought Wang Chen to the table and spoke.
Placing these stones on the table, Wang Chen Dingqing looked at it, and urged his perspective, and sure enough, everything around him became illusory, and the stones on the table.
The first piece seems to have green light, but there is only a thin layer, which is simply waste, Wang Chen shook his head.
Then he looked at the second piece, which had only a faint green light from the shell, but inside it was a piece of green, and it was obvious that this piece of material could bloom green.
Wang Chen picked up the pen on the table, drew a green border on the stone, and then said to Huang Ding: "Shopkeeper, this stone, cut according to the line I draw, it will definitely be opened." ”
The few people around who sold materials couldn't help but laugh when they saw the line drawn by Wang Chen.
"Little brother, do you know the stone? You don't cut the material like this, you directly draw a few lines, it is to cut so many knives, in case there is really material, which knife is broken, even if there is green, it is worthless. ”
Huang Ding is also an expert, and at a glance, he saw that there was something wrong with Wang Chen's line drawing, and he was about to open his mouth to remind him, but he met Wang Chen's firm gaze.
"Well, I'll believe you once. After speaking, Huang Ding directly took out seven hundred taels of silver tickets and handed them to the stone seller, and he bought a stone first.
After paying the money, he asked his subordinates to dodge and operate the stone cutting machine himself, and he wanted to try it himself.
I heard the roar of the machine, and the sharp blade split the stone in two.
Click.
The stone was cut off one side.
Picking up the stone, Huang Ding was also stunned, because this line was drawn, and it was clear that the stone was completely seen through, half of it was a stone, and half of it was already green.
Take a deep breath, if you really cut out all the green according to Wang Chen's cutting method, then this stone is worth a lot.
