Chapter 57: Living up to its name

People who come to this kind of place to gamble on stones have always been the psychology of gamblers, they win by luck, make a lot of money, unfortunately lose, and make persistent efforts, always fantasizing that there will always be a day to win, but this kind of person often loses and goes bankrupt.

It's like the middle-aged man with unkempt hair in front of him.

At this time, the man walked past Leng Hongyu's side, and threw all the money on his body on the table: "I bet on the blue clothes to win." ”

The boss glanced at him and said, "Stone, why are you here again? You have already lost a lot of money, have you lost red eyes?"

Seeing that the boss didn't seem to want to place an order for him, the middle-aged man named Stone was anxious: "I...... I said, I have to win!"

The boss sighed helplessly: "Didn't I tell you that it was useless? Even if you are lucky enough to win one or two games, what if you are lucky? The auction will be held in one day, even if you raise enough money and don't have a famous post, you can't get in, why are you struggling uselessly?

Hearing this, Leng Hongyu and Qi Guanyan secretly glanced at each other, and the latter moved his mouth, as if he was silently saying: This matter seems to be related to you.

Leng Hongyu didn't show affection, but he was a little interested in the conversation between the two.

From the boss's words, Leng Hongyu heard some problems, the middle-aged man named Shi seemed to want to auction the magic medicine, but his pocket was empty and he didn't have a name, and the important thing was that he seemed to have lost a lot.

Shi shook his head violently: "No, I won't give up, even if the family is bankrupt, I will save my girl, she is only six years old! If I give up, she will die!"

"Oops!" The boss is obviously also a sympathetic businessman, and he is familiar with the stone, and when he heard the stone's words, the boss could only sigh and say: "Okay! For the sake of the two of us who used to be fellow villagers, I will give you another order, if you lose this time, you don't have to block it, and if you gamble again, you will not even lose the girl's food money." ”

"Okay! I'll listen to Brother Liu. ”

"Are you sure you want to get the boy in blue?" the boss asked confirmatively.

Shi nodded: "Yes, I'll ...... it"

"Wait!"

The sudden voice made everyone look puzzled, and the person who opened his mouth to stop it was not Leng Hongyu, who else could it be.

With a shallow smile on her lips, Leng Hongyu walked up to the stone, and she said, "This big brother, how about you get dressed in white?"

"Why did I get dressed in white?" Shi glared innocently, not understanding why this village girl came to stop him, and said these inexplicable words to himself.

Leng Hongyu smiled lightly, and his voice was soft: "Because I want to make an extra bet with you, if the white-clothed jade is opened, I will give you five thousand taels, if not, you just need to give me your gambling money, how about it?"

Although the stone is honest, it is not stupid, and he shook his head immediately: "No, the stone in the white clothes is obviously not as good as the blue clothes, if I get off the white clothes, not only will I lose the principal, but even the chance to win will be lost." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Leng Hongyu's mouth twitched slightly, and his heart said Which eye can you see that the one in blue clothes will definitely win?

At this time, Qi Guanyan looked at Leng Hongyu with a puzzled expression.

Leng Hongyu bought white clothes, it can be seen that Leng Hongyu was optimistic about the stone of the man in white, in this case, why did Leng Hongyu let the stone buy white clothes?

Isn't that a contradiction?

Leng Hongyu stroked his forehead, and said helplessly: "That's it, I don't want your principal, if you lose, you can work for me." ”

"What is a part-time job?"

“......”

The cold red fish is kind-hearted, and the generation gap problem is here again.

"A part-time job is a job, a job like a shopkeeper, of course, I will pay the money for the part-time job as usual, and it will not be lower than the market price. ”

"This ......"

Shi hesitated a little, after all, it was five thousand taels, and he didn't lose the principal, if he won, the girl's medicine money would be lost, but if he lost......

"I said, big brother, don't hesitate, with your little money, even if you win, how much can you win? But if you miss this opportunity, you really have no hope at all. Leng Hongyu kindly reminded.

Thinking about it, it seemed to be the same reason, Shi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll bet with you!"

"Let's get started!"

Calving is a long process, and in this era without machines, calcing is completely broken by manpower, so the time is even longer.

In the process of waiting, Leng Hongyu was completely leisurely, one would ask Qi Guanyan to buy her food, and the other would ask Qi Guanyan to bring her tea, living an aunt-like time.

It's just that compared to the indifference of the cold red fish, the stone is obviously much more nervous, turning around and staring at the stone from time to time.

This also made Leng Hongyu a little helpless: "What an emergency!"

Qi Guanyan also glanced at the stone and said, "How can there be a patient at home who is not in a hurry, this is life-saving money for him." ”

Leng Hongyu pursed his mouth lightly and muttered, "I gave it to him for nothing." ”

Free giveaway?

Leng Hongyu's voice was very small, but Qi Guanyan still heard it, so he couldn't understand what Leng Hongyu said about giving it away for nothing, after all, the stones had not been solved, how could he see it for nothing?

You can't be unpredictable, right?

However, as time passed, the stones of the blue clothes and the white clothes were finally unraveled, and when people saw the green light in the stone of the white clothes, they immediately exclaimed.

"Out of the green, out of the green!"

"The boy in blue is also green, but much smaller than the one in white, and ......"

"Looks like a rare emerald?"

"Stone, you have made a fortune, five thousand taels are yours!" At this time, people also thought of the private bet between the stone and the cold red fish, and they all looked at the stone with envy and hatred.

The stone looked at the stone blankly, a little unable to come back to his senses: "I...... Did I win?"

"Stone, you won, the girl's medicine money has been settled. "The owner was also happy for the stones.

"Okay, it's really good, I ...... Wow, I really won, 55...... I've won!" said Stone as he howled and cried, but everyone could see that he was so happy.

Shi wiped a handful of tears and ran to Leng Hongyu: "Girl, do you count what you say?" Five thousand taels, will you really give it to me?"

Leng Hongyu smiled, and without a trace of hesitation, handed him the silver ticket that had been prepared a long time ago: "Don't gamble in the future, not every time you are so lucky." ”

At this time, the boss seemed to remember something: "Girl, you just bet on the white clothes to win, the bet is one thousand taels, one to one, this is two thousand taels, you have taken it!"

Leng Hongyu took the silver ticket, and he and the official face would not leave.

It wasn't until the news of Leng Hongyu's figure that people reacted: "She herself wins by buying white clothes, but why does she let Shi also buy white clothes to win......?"

Everyone looked at the stone, and the stone was also confused.

The boss walked up to the stone and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Stone, you have met a nobleman!"

As if he understood something, Shi Jiang's face knelt down excitedly, and kowtowed three times in the direction where Leng Hongyu left.

At this time, leaving everyone's sight, Qi Guanyan stared at Leng Hongyu vigorously.

After a long while, Leng Hongyu said helplessly: "You can say whatever you want, do you need to look at me like this? ”

Hearing this, Qi Guan Yan said straightforwardly: "Don't you think that sometimes you are strange with monsters, but you don't have to say goodbye?"

The corners of Leng Hongyu's mouth twitched, and he rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Can you speak? ”

Qi Guanyan laughed: "I'm just telling the truth, don't you think you are really scary sometimes?"

"Are you afraid of me?" Leng Hongyu asked rhetorically.

"Not really. ”

"No, it's over!" Leng Hongyu said.

Qi Guanyan: "I don't mean that you are terrible, I mean that your ability is a little terrible, you deliberately lost to him just now, right? You want him to have money to buy medicine, but why don't you just give him a Qiansui Pill, and use such a complicated method." ”

Leng Hongyu chuckled slightly: "The rules of the auction were set by me, and I can't break them, but if someone needs a pill to save their lives, I can't turn a blind eye, so this way is just right." ”

"But how can you be sure that the stone in the white clothes will turn green, and if not, then you can't give him the money to buy medicine in this way?"

Leng Hongyu turned his head, and his red lips outlined a confident arc: "When did you see that I had done something that I was not sure of?"

Qi Guanyan's eyes widened: "You mean you already knew that the stone would definitely be green?

Leng Hongyu has always said that the white clothes can be green, and said that he will definitely win, Qi Guanyan thought that Leng Hongyu was just talking casually, but thinking back to what Leng Hongyu said, as well as her action of letting the stone bet, Leng Hongyu seems to have some unknown abilities.

"Of course you can see it. "There is a system to help with identification, can I not know?

The last words, Leng Hongyu didn't say it, she just smiled, and said instead: "I remember that someone seems to owe me a gambling contract, this person won't cheat, right?"

Leng Hongyu pointed to Sang's reminder, and Qi Guan shook his head with a smile, his eyes were full of doting: "You, isn't it just a gambling contract, let's say, what do you want me to do?"

Leng Hongyu blinked, and said innocently: "I haven't thought of it for the time being, you owe it first, and I'll tell you when I think of it one day." ”

"Okay!"

Qi Guanyan didn't bargain with Leng Hongyu either, because he knew that even if there was no gambling contract, he would definitely not refuse Leng Hongyu's request.

"After winning a thousand taels at once, let's go celebrate?" said Leng Hongyu suddenly.

“......”

Qi Guanyan stroked his forehead and was speechless for a while, why didn't you say that you still lost five thousand taels?

However, Qi Guanyan didn't dwell on this question, he just asked, "How do you want to celebrate?"

"A big meal, of course. ”

"You haven't eaten enough?" Qi Guanyan stared at her little belly in surprise, she has been eating since the calcite began, eating so many things, where is she pretending?

As if knowing what he was thinking, Leng Hongyu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, this girl has two stomachs, she can definitely fit it, besides, it's a shame not to eat the food at the moment!"

"Fallacy!"

"Heehe~ is a fallacy, anyway, you can eat if you want to, whether it's full or not. ”

"I'm afraid that you'll be overwhelmed and won't be good for your health. ”

"This girl is eating the elixir in one hand and the food in the other, how can she survive? ”

“......”

Qi Guanyan was speechless, and as soon as he ate it into his stomach, he directly used the pill to dissolve it, so what is the point of eating?

But he agrees with Leng Hongyu's 'big truth'.

There's no way, whoever makes the family have medicine in their hands, and they can't eat it, it's as simple as breathing.

Leng Hongyu took Qi Guanyan to the Phoenix Restaurant.

Walking in the door, Qi Guanyan exclaimed: "This is the restaurant you opened with Qiao'er? It's really good, it's different from the place where you don't eat, but it doesn't lose its characteristics and style, it's really good." ”

"It's good to have the food here, and I'm telling you, you've never eaten anything here, I promise!"

Qi Guanyan lazily raised his eyebrows: "Then I really have to try!"

Qi Guanyan had no doubt about the guarantee of the cold red fish, because there were too many strange things in the Immortal Doctor Gate, and it was not easy to get some dishes that were not available from the Immortal Doctor Gate?

So Qi Guanyan also has some expectations.

But how did he know that these dishes would be rotten street dishes in the 21st century, and they had no special features to speak of.

It's a pity that Qi Guanyan doesn't know, and Leng Hongyu won't say it.

Leng Hongyu summoned Xiao Er and asked him to open a private room, but Xiao Er looked embarrassed: "Two guest officers, I'm really sorry, the restaurant is full today, there is no spare box, if you want to eat, why don't you wait next to you, and the guests will come out in a while, and I will let you in?"

Qi Guanyan: "It seems that we have come at the wrong time, why don't we go for a walk elsewhere and come back later?"

Leng Hongyu chuckled mysteriously: "Why is it so troublesome, we go to the backyard to eat, and there is a room in the backyard, which is used by the staff, just eat there." ”

"How do you know that we have a room in our backyard?

However, just when Xiao Erhu was suspicious, a crisp voice relieved his doubts: "Because she is one of the bosses, how can the boss not know the situation of his restaurant?"

"Boss lady, you're here!" Xiao Er hurriedly said hello, but when he came back to his senses, he looked at Leng Hongyu in a daze: "No, boss lady, what did you just say?

"Yes, she's also your boss's wife, and besides, she took out the recipes we're making now, so you can't kick her away if she wants to eat. Qiao'er said.

Hearing this, Xiao Er looked terrified: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know that you are also the boss, how offended, don't be surprised by the boss!"

"Okay, Qiao'er, don't scare him!" Leng Hongyu shook his head and chuckled, and turned to Xiao Er: "Don't listen to her nonsense, I'm not such a stingy boss, and you did a good job just now, continue to work hard in the future!"

Receiving Leng Hongyu's appreciation, Xiao Er was so excited: "Yes, the little one will definitely continue to work hard in the future, please rest assured, boss." ”

"Alright, you go down and get busy, you don't have to greet us. ”

After sending Xiao Er away, Leng Hongyu walked into the backyard with Qiao'er.

It's just that when I arrived in the backyard, Leng Hongyu seemed to have forgotten that he was hungry, so he didn't order food or eat snacks, so he chatted with Qiao'er and talked about the situation in the store.

Qi Guanyan sat on the side, drinking tea, but as he drank, he felt that something was not quite right: "No, didn't you just shout that you were hungry? Why aren't you hungry when you come?"

Leng Hongyu glanced at him leisurely, and said indifferently: "I'm not a pig, how can I be so hungry!"

“......”

Qi Guan Yan Angtian was speechless, and the corners of his mouth twitched irrepressibly: "How can this person be like this? What about the integrity of people and people? I don't know who just said that he has two stomachs, and now he ...... Hey, I'm a pig!"

Hearing this, Leng Hongyu suddenly burst out laughing: "It seems that you are not stupid enough to forget that you are a pig." ”

So are cold red fish really hungry?

Actually, it's not, it's just to discuss things with Qiao'er, and wait until you're really hungry to eat before leaving.

“......”

I don't know how long it has been, and when the sun sets, Qi Guanyan is already so hungry that his chest is pressed against his back.

Because he had been waiting for the cold red fish to be hungry, she was not hungry, and she was embarrassed to eat alone.

And seeing that Leng Hongyu and Qiao'er were able to discuss it vigorously, Qi Guanyan was embarrassed to disturb, so he starved himself.

Grunt~

A strange sound sounded in the backyard, Leng Hongyu and Qiao'er were stunned for a moment, and turned around to stare at Qi Guanyan's stomach.

"Your stomach is growling?" Leng Hongyu asked uncertainly.

Qiao'er: "It seems to be screaming, it's so loud!"

Qi Guanyan: "Not only did it scream, but it also screamed secretly for a long time, can you eat now?"

"Haven't you eaten yet?" Leng Hongyu said, Qi Guanyan suddenly had an urge to cry: "I've been waiting for you!" But you and Qiao'er are talking about something, and I can't bother you." ”

Leng Hongyu stroked his forehead: "You are not a three-year-old child, why do you say you are waiting for me? I came here when I was full, I must not be so hungry, wait for me? You should be hungry." ”

Qiao'er: "Third son, I also ate before you came, and I don't know if you didn't eat, so ...... I'm sorry, I'll get you ready. ”

Qi Guan Yan Angtian, aggrieved tears rolled in his eyes: "Am I a pig reincarnated?"

"Okay, you're a big man, you can't die of hunger for a meal or two. Leng Hongyu patted him on the shoulder.

The tears in Qi Guanyan's eyes were even worse, this comfort, why did he want to cry more?

After finally eating a full meal, Qi Guanyan stroked his stomach with satisfaction, he had long forgotten his previous grievances, and he said with satisfaction: "This meal is so fragrant and delicious, it really lives up to its reputation, come and eat it another day!"

Qiao'er smiled: "It's just right, tomorrow we will have a new dish in the restaurant, if the third son is interested, you can come over, if you don't have a private room, go directly to the backyard!"

Obviously, Qiao'er didn't treat Qi Guanyan as an outsider, after all, he was Leng Hongyu's husband, and he was half a brother-in-law.

But at this time, Leng Hongyu said: "I won't come tomorrow, tomorrow Qiansuidan will be auctioned, I want to go and see!"

Hearing this, Qi Guanyan immediately changed his words and said, "Then I won't come either, I'll accompany you tomorrow." ”

Leng Hongyu smiled lightly.

After staying in the Phoenix Restaurant for a while, Leng Hongyu said goodbye to Qiao'er and left, but just walked out of the backyard and collided with a figure.

"Oops~"

"I'm sorry, girl, it didn't hurt...... Is that you?" the man's eyes lit up, and this person was not Huangxi, who else could he be.

"What a coincidence, Miss Fish, are you here to eat too? No, you...... How did you get here?"

After all, in Huangxi's eyes, Leng Hongyu is not a person who has the ability to come to such a place.

Leng Hongyu lowered his head slightly, and his eyes flashed with a silver light: "I, didn't I say it? I have a little sister who works here, and I came to find her." ”

As he spoke, Leng Hongyu made a gesture to Qi Guanyan behind him without a trace, you go first.

Qi Guanyan frowned slightly, but still left first.

And Huang Xi didn't doubt Leng Hongyu's words when he heard it, but showed an expression of sudden realization: "Oh, by the way, you told me, blame me, forget about it, then have you eaten?"

Leng Hongyu hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, I've already eaten, I still have something to do, so I'll walk." ”

After that, without waiting for Huang Xi's reaction, Leng Hongyu quickly left, leaving Huang Xi with a lost expression.

At this time, walking out of the Phoenix Restaurant, Leng Hongyu caught up with Qi Guanyan at the entrance of an alley.

But I don't know if it's angry or what, Qi Guan Yanli ignored Leng Hongyu, and walked in a muffled voice.

Leng Hongyu glanced at him cautiously, and said with a wry smile: "That...... He's the guy I've met, and I'm not familiar with him. ”

"What does it matter to me whether you are familiar with me or not? Anyway, in your eyes, I am a dispensable person, and you don't even introduce me to others, and you deliberately support me!" Qi Guanyan had a very depressed expression, and his words were a little sour.

Leng Hongyu gently tugged at his sleeve robe and said: "I don't mean that, I just feel that I don't know him well, and I don't have to let him know my identity, besides, I know people and don't know my heart, a person who has only met once, how can I tell him that I am Leng Hongyu? So I let you go first just because I don't want to reveal my identity, and I don't have any opinions about you." ”

"Really?" Qi Guanyan's eyes lit up.

Leng Hongyu nodded hurriedly: "Really, the pearls are not so real." ”

"Okay, I'll trust you once, but you can't do that next time, or I'll ...... I'm in a hurry with you. ”
