Chapter 19: Add a little color

said that the heavenly opportunity could not be revealed, but it was because Ye Xiao didn't know how to explain it.

When he was observing the jade-carved kitten just now, the place he paid the most attention to was the kitten's eyes.

The kitten is carved from a single piece of jadeite, except for the eyes, which are made of other materials into beads and inlaid with exquisite techniques.

Although it seems to be a complete one, a closer look can also see a clue.

Ye Xiao had already seen that the kitten's eyes were clearly glass, and there was a little fluorescent powder mixed in them, and there was no difference between them and jadeite in color, so people couldn't tell the difference.

But Ye Xiao, as a modern person, has already seen a lot of such gadgets...... Many modern children's toys have various colors of phosphors in them.

Phosphors are stored when exposed to light...... The light energy is stored in it, and then the light energy is slowly released to achieve the effect of night light, which makes many people mistakenly think that it is the pearl of the night.

In fact, this is very different from the natural pearl of the night.

The real pure natural night pearl, Ye Xiao has never seen it. But he knew that the kitten's eyes were definitely not the pearls of the night...... It's glass!

"In this era, you can actually see glass, and it is also full of phosphor......" Ye Xiao subconsciously muttered.

The manufacturing process of glass is not complicated, Ye Xiao studied physics in high school.

Quartz stone, soda ash, limestone, etc. are mixed according to the ratio, and then smelted by high-temperature combustion to finally form glass.

It's not hard to say, but it's not that simple. At least Ye Xiao thought about it, people in this era should not know the formula of glass.

And the appearance of glassware in the eyes of the kitten, the only possibility ...... It should be that someone accidentally refined glass in a smelting by chance.

And there's also phosphor mixed with it......

"Well, it seems that glass will also appear in this world in the near future." Ye Xiao subconsciously muttered again.

Listening to him say glass twice in a row, Zhao Wangye, who was closest to him, thought about it and subconsciously asked, "Glass?" What glass? ”

"Nothing."

Ye Xiao shook his head and didn't explain.

Prince Zhao was bored, but he didn't care, just smiled, patted Ye Xiao's shoulder, and then spoke: "Doctor Ye, you really have ...... I discovered the mystery of this cat so quickly, and this king did what he said! ”

He turned his head to look at Cao Guan, snorted coldly, and his attitude was not polite at all: "Cao Guan, this gamble between you and the Guan family, although this king doesn't know the way of it, but you don't want to play any tricks...... If you let this king know, your Cao family will not want to gain a foothold in Fufeng City in the future! ”

Cao Guan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed his head and confessed: "Since the prince is in charge, where do you dare to play any tricks?" Besides, there are losses and wins in the gambling game, which is a mixed luck and strength, where can it be fake? ”

There are also people beside Cao Guan to help.

Zhang Wanqian said: "Don't worry, Young Master Guan and Ye Xiao can be regarded as losing this time, where does Cao Pavilion need to play any means?" ”

Wang Shi also said: "This gamble is fun, why don't we add some color to others?" ”

"How do you want to play?" Cao Guan and Ye Xiao asked in unison.

"I'll give two hundred gold, and I'll gamble...... Brother Cao will win this bet. Wang Shi paused, and then said: "If you win this gamble, Ye Xiao, the two hundred gold will be yours." ”

"If we lose, not only will we lose a restaurant and a medical center, but will we also have to pay you two hundred gold?" Ye Xiao frowned and thought about saying this.

Wang Shi nodded: "That's nature!" ”

200 gold ...... That's two kilograms of gold!

Even in the modern society that Ye Xiao is familiar with, two kilograms of gold, when converted into cash, is about one million.

This Wang Shi is a big deal, even if it is just to add a lottery, he will throw a million!

"Are you so sure we're going to lose?" Ye Xiao pursed his lips and smiled, with a playful expression in his eyes.

Wang Shi smiled nonchalantly and said, "Didn't Brother Cao also say it?" Winning and losing are mixed, since it is a gambling game, it would be good for us to join in the fun, and it doesn't matter if we win or lose. ”

"Okay, this lottery, we'll take it too!"

This time, it was Ye Xiao and Guan Yuewen's turn to answer in unison.

Ye Xiao dared to take this lottery out of confidence in himself, but the reason why Guan Yuewen dared to accept this lottery was because there were more lice and no itching, and there were more debts.

Two hundred gold, the Wang family in the east of the city can take it out, and of course the Guan family in the north of the city can also take it out.

"I'll pay a hundred gold, and I'll bet that Cao Guan will win." Zhang Wanqian also intervened.

For a while, the four major families of Fufeng City were all involved in this gamble, and everyone's eyes immediately fell on Zhao Wangye.

This made Zhao Wangye's face a little ugly, and he hesitated for a while before he spoke: "Since you are so interested, then I will ...... If you pay fifty gold, you can bet that Doctor Ye will win this game. ”

Ye Xiao was stunned, and subconsciously glanced at Prince Zhao.

Hasn't this big guy always been optimistic about himself before? Why are you betting that you will win? Could it be that Zhao Wangye is so panicked?

Without waiting for Ye Xiao to understand, Prince Zhao continued: "Doctor Ye and this king are friends, of course this king has to support him. ”

It turned out to be a friendly sponsorship...... Ye Xiao was a little speechless.

"Even the prince and the sons are involved in this gamble, Ruyan also wants to participate, but Ruyan is not as rich as the sons, so take it...... Twenty gold is good to come out and have fun. ”

Seeing that the beauty was very subtle with a smile, not to mention Guan Yuewen, even Cao Guan and the others were very obsessed, and they all smiled lightly: "It's okay, it's a little gamble...... I just don't know which side of the cigarette girl bets to win? ”

"Ruyan is a little curious about Ye Xiao Gongzi's steamed buns, so she bet on Ye Xiao Gongzi's side to win."

As soon as the smoke fell, the expressions on the faces of everyone present were a little good-looking. There are doubts, helplessness, and watching the excitement...... Such as Ye Xiao.

"Ruyan girl, your twenty gold, I'm afraid you're going to be lost." Zhang Wanqian shook his head, looking at it with some pity.

Ye Xiao's expression did not move, secretly thinking that although you have made a good bid, Lao Tzu will accept all the orders, play with the big ones and retire, and find a place with good feng shui to build a villa to live in seclusion.

As everyone bet on the lottery, Guan Yuewen seemed to have only breathed out and had no breath, and pulled Ye Xiao and said in a low voice: "Can I also bet on Cao Guan to win......

Seeing Ye Xiao glaring at him, Guan Yuewen was afraid of this waste uncle of the Guan family for no reason, and sneered: "Just kidding, just kidding." ”

No one thought that this gamble had evolved to the present, and even Zhao Wangye was involved. As for the notes or something...... With Zhao Wangye as a guarantee, who would dare to cheat?

When he walked out of Cao's Restaurant, Ye Xiao was still thinking about how much gold he could win after winning this gamble.

"Ye Xiao, you wait......"

Leng Buding's voice suddenly sounded beside Zhao Wangye.

In this era, there were no street lights on the streets, and lanterns that could barely be lit were only for pedestrians to roughly distinguish the direction at night.

In this black light, the bell-like voice of Prince Zhao sounded in Ye Xiao's ears, which startled him.

"Lord Wang, is there anything else you want to order?"

On this big night, although he couldn't see Prince Zhao's face clearly, Ye Xiao could feel that at this moment, Prince Zhao seemed to have faded from his usual appearance and looked much more shrewd, which made Ye Xiao a little unaccustomed for a while.

I heard Zhao Wangye lower his voice, and suddenly asked, "Ye Xiao, how sure are you that you can win this gamble?" ”

"Does the prince want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Zhao Wangye raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course that's true!" ”

"The truth is, there is eighty percent certainty of winning the game......" Ye Xiao hesitated and said a more conservative number.

Rao is like this, but it also made Zhao Wangye stunned, secretly thinking that this kid did not play cards according to common sense. Generally speaking, isn't it always uncertain about the truth?

"That'...... What about lies? ”

"Lies are ...... Not at all sure. A playful expression suddenly appeared on Ye Xiao's face, and he paused before continuing: "If I had told the truth from the beginning, would they still have so many colorful heads to bet with me?" ”

"You...... You kid! ”

After a while, Prince Zhao laughed and patted Ye Xiao's shoulder: "Ye Xiao, the fifty gold is all the pocket money owned by this king, and today it can be all bet on you, don't play with it then!" ”

"Don't worry, the prince." Ye Xiao also laughed and said confidently: "If you get rid of it, I will pay you fifty gold at that time." ”

"That's not necessary." Zhao Wangye waved his hand, showing great generosity: "You and I are friends, why do you care about this?" ”
