Chapter 158: Let's Make a Bet
Tian Qingan couldn't help but scratch his head, "Uncle, can I ask you a question first?" ”
"You ask."
"Mooncakes are not delicious, so they don't look good, why do you always stare at the box?"
"Because the box is so beautiful!" The middle-aged man looked right, "I saw these boxes at a glance, they are much better than moon cakes!" ”
Tian Qingan also suddenly remembered, she doesn't seem to let you taste it yet!
"Uncle, you taste the moon cakes first, and after you finish tasting, I'll tell you about these boxes."
The middle-aged man nodded, but the toothpick was pricked and sent to his mouth, and then his eyes lit up, "Your moon cake is really good, worthy of this box, I originally planned to buy only the box, I want the box and the moon cake to buy it now, but before that, you have to tell me first...... Where did you buy the box? ”
"These boxes weren't bought in any store, they were carved by me and one of my brothers!" Tian Qingan raised his head and said proudly.
The middle-aged man was visibly surprised, "You carved these?" ”
Before Tian Qing'an nodded, a voice interjected, "This uncle, I am not talented, I make jade carvings at home, I have also seen these boxes before, and the craftsmanship is sophisticated, if it is not a twenty or thirty years of old craftsmen, you will definitely not be able to do it, don't be deceived by her, she just wants you to spend more money to buy those moon cakes!" ”
Several people turned their heads to look and saw that the person who spoke was one of the several scholars who had been driven to the side of the street by Tian Qingan before!
The person who spoke was dressed in a white robe trimmed with gold edges, holding a fan in his hand, his face was gentle, and he looked a little like a beautiful son, but unfortunately his character was really not good!
Uncle the village chief saw that a single business was about to be destroyed, and he couldn't do it in a hurry, "Don't listen to those people, they are very bad, these boxes are carved with red dates, we saw it with our own eyes, my family's red dates are powerful, there is no one she won't!" ”
Tian Qingan was a little speechless, originally she was not in a hurry, and she didn't care, there was no need to lie about carving this thing, she would know it when she tried it on the spot, but Uncle Village Chief's explanation was so eager, it was easy for people to feel empty-hearted.
Sure enough, the scholar who spoke before, the scholar who made jade carvings at home spoke again: "We heard you say before, red dates, although this girl named red dates is taller, but her actual age is only eight years old, are you looking at us all fools, an eight-year-old child can carve such a beautiful pattern?" ”
Now, not only the people around who were watching the excitement, but also the middle-aged men in front of the shop all looked at Tian Qingan suspiciously, if they were more than ten years old, they still had a little faith, after all, there was no genius in the world, but at the age of eight, don't even think about it, it's definitely a lie!
Uncle Zhang and a few neighbors who came out to see what was going on outside were a little anxious, these people didn't know, they had been neighbors with the Tian family for a long time, but they knew that the red dates were indeed carved very well.
Uncle Zhang took a step forward to help speak, but Tian Qingan saw it and quickly stopped him, "Uncle Zhang, let me come by myself!" ”
Tian Qingan turned around and looked at the Shusheng who had spoken before, "What's wrong with me when I'm eight years old, can't I carve these patterns when I'm eight years old?" Are you stupid yourself, do you think that others are as stupid as you? I'm sorry, I'm a prodigy, a genius, just a little carving, it's hard for me! ”
"Bragging, not drafting!" The scholars were not angry, and said one after another, "If you are a genius, why don't you have a reputation at all, we have never heard of a genius named red dates!" ”
"Haven't you heard of it? What's the furthest you've been? Do you know everything in this world? I think you're bragging, not drafting! ”
"Well said!" Uncle Zhang shouted, these scholars are really annoying, and their hearts are too bad!
The scholars are angry one by one, they are readers, the most respected in the world, but today they were humiliated by a little yellow-haired girl, which is simply infuriating!
At this moment, a coughing sound interrupted everyone, it turned out to be the middle-aged man who wanted to buy moon cakes, "It's very simple to know if these boxes are carved by this little girl, you can carve one on the spot, can the headquarters cheat under the nose of a fight?" ”
This group of scholars was suddenly enlightened, yes, as long as she can't carve it, or the carving is worse than the one on the box, it means that she is lying!
"Engraving on the spot, if you can't carve it, you're a liar!" The scholars said one after another.
Tian Qingan sneered, "If you want me to carve, I'll carve, can't I sit and eat melon seeds?" Why should I prove myself to you, did you give me a penny? ”
"You-"
"Of course, it's not impossible for me to carve, but I work for nothing...... That's good, don't you believe that I can carve at the age of eight, then make a bet, if my carving is not inferior to these, then I win, I have two conditions, first, apologize to us in public, second, you seven people, one person in my place to buy ten boxes of this twenty taels of gift box moon cakes? Of course, if you are afraid of losing, you can not agree, I don't care, after all, I am a genius, these are just pediatrics! ”
"What if you can't carve it, or if you can't carve it as well?"
"Then you make a bet!" Tian Qingan didn't care.
"You've connected these boxes all these months, and it's all ours!"
"You guys are too shameless, do you know how much the mooncakes and gift boxes on this table cost? At least a thousand taels! Uncle Zhang was not angry.
Without waiting for the scholars to speak, Tian Qingan seemed to comfort Uncle Zhang, "Uncle Zhang, don't be angry, we won't lose, a gift box of twenty taels, one person buys ten boxes, there are seven people, and there are 1,400 taels of silver!" ”
"What if they play tricks?" Uncle Zhang said worriedly, at least half of these people don't seem to be wealthy, otherwise they wouldn't deliberately find fault.
Tian Qingan looked at the middle-aged man next to him, this person was also very good, "It's not simple, sign an agreement in advance, and I'll help you testify!" ”
The scholar on the other side has no opinion at all, as long as he thinks that so many delicious moon cakes and so many good-looking boxes are theirs, he is excited, if it weren't for the identity of the reader to be reserved, he would have looked up to the sky and laughed!
In their opinion, it is impossible for them to lose, these things are in their pockets!
An eight-year-old child, even if he can carve, will never be able to make something like the one on the box!
Uncle Zhang quickly took paper and pen from his shop, and the contract was quickly written, in triplicate, one for the scholars and Tian Qing'an, one for the middle-aged man in the middle, and everyone signed and pressed their fingerprints!
