Chapter 130: Placing a bet
The few people who lowered their heads and muttered, when they heard Qi Erfeng's question, immediately raised their heads and smiled awkwardly, as if they didn't say anything, and said to him left and right: "Oh, look at this stone, it's really big!" ”
"Who's to say it isn't? If anyone can move this stone away, it must be an innate divine power! ”
……
Qi Erfeng is not such a foolish person, although they don't want to say what they were muttering just now, but Qi Erfeng has no intention of giving up exploration at all.
"Huh?" Qi Erfeng's tail voice rose, and the meaning of warning was already obvious.
Qi Erfeng's deterrent power among these people is still very great, she is just a warning voice, and the few people who were still talking about him just now immediately said everything they were discussing just now.
"We ...... We were just discussing that it would be a shame not to open a bet on such a good game. One of them immediately said what had just been discussed succinctly, like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
Bet?
Qi Erfeng's eyes lit up.
Well, yes, it's a good way to get money.
She glanced at everyone, and saw that everyone was also nodding secretly, it seemed that everyone had the same idea in their hearts. It's just that the difference between these people and Qi Erfeng's thoughts is that Qi Erfeng knows that Qi Xiaolong will definitely be able to move the big stone in front of him. But these people felt that a child as young as Qi Xiaolong would definitely not be able to move.
Therefore, in their opinion, if you bet on Qi Xiaolong to lose, it is to make money and not lose money.
Qi Erfeng said with a smile: "Isn't this a bad thing, why hide it and not let everyone know?" I think there are a lot of people here who want to start a gambling game, right? ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Such an interesting thing would be even more interesting if you could open a bet. Someone in the crowd immediately chimed in.
The young and strong chefs also rubbed their hands excitedly at this time, and asked Qi Erfeng tentatively: "That...... Can a few of us participate? ”
"If a few of you participate, will you bet on yourself to win, or will you bet on Xiaolong to win?" Qi Erfeng asked amusedly.
The men stopped talking. However, judging from their looks, they must be betting on themselves to win. If none of them could move this big stone away, it would be even more impossible for a little kid like Qi Xiaolong.
However, in front of Qi Erfeng, they would definitely not say what they really thought in their hearts.
Qi Erfeng said with a nonchalant look: "If you bet on yourself to win, I can consider letting you participate, but if you bet on Xiaolong to win, I won't let you participate." Because, if that were the case, you might not be so careful when you moved the stones. ”
"No, no, we will do our best. That's good, since you said it all Miss Qi, then let's reluctantly bet on ourselves. Hey, hey, hey......" The young and strong chefs immediately laughed.
They originally wanted to bet on themselves, but it was not good to be so straightforward in front of Qi Erfeng, and now that Qi Erfeng gave them this opportunity, they would naturally climb down the pole.
Qi Erfeng smiled faintly, their little abacus naturally couldn't hide from her eyes. However, she didn't want to deal with them. Today's main purpose is not on these people, but on Li Xiulan.
Although Li Xiulan didn't know what it meant to open a gambling game, she also vaguely felt that these people would definitely not be optimistic about Qi Xiaolong. In fact, not only these people are not optimistic about Qi Xiaolong, but even she, a mother, doesn't think that a person as small as Qi Xiaolong can move the big stone in front of him.
If it weren't for Qi Erfeng's insistence and another person, Li Xiulan would not have agreed to such a public demonstration today.
Although Xiaolong is young, he also has his self-esteem. If he knows that he can't do a thing in front of so many people, maybe it will have a great impact on his future growth.
Li Xiulan was worried here, and couldn't help but say to Qi Erfeng: "Erfeng, what kind of gamble is this?" Why don't you get it? How do I feel ......"
"Mother, if Xiaolong wins, maybe you can get a lot of money." Qi Erfeng whispered to Li Xiulan.
"But ......" Of course Li Xiulan knew that Qi Xiaolong's chances of winning were very small, did that mean that if Qi Xiaolong lost, they would lose a lot, "If Xiaolong loses......"
"Don't worry, if Xiaolong loses, I will pay for all the silver. In other words, the money you win belongs to you, and the money you lose belongs to me, so you should rest assured, right? Qi Erfeng said helplessly.
Who knows, after she said this, Li Xiulan was even more uneasy.
"No, no, if you lose, you have so much money to lose? Erfeng, don't open this gamble, I know you want Xiaolong to study, I promise you, don't make so many things. This is originally our housework, and it is not good to involve other people. Li Xiulan now regrets it.
knew that Qi Erfeng would make such a big fuss, so she readily agreed to Qi Erfeng early.
However, now that things have come to this point, how could Qi Erfeng agree to her?
"Mother, don't worry, just rest assured."
After saying this, Qi Erfeng no longer bothered with Li Xiulan. As the old saying goes, a woman's kindness. Women in this era are too timid to think about things and worry about the present. If they were to call the shots, maybe there would be no outcome in this matter until dark.
Moreover, Qi Erfeng knows Li Xiulan's character too well. If this matter does not continue today, although Li Xiulan said that she would support Qi Xiaolong to study, but after a few months of studying, she will still feel that cooking and becoming a cook is the best way out.
People's ideas are the most difficult to change, and if nothing happens that can make her violently impacted, just talking about it will definitely not make her change her thinking that has been in her mind for decades.
Seeing that Qi Erfeng no longer took care of herself, Li Xiulan was anxious, but there was nothing she could do but be anxious on the sidelines.
Qi Erfeng said loudly to everyone: "Okay! Then it will be everyone's wish, and we will open a gamble today. Bet that these chefs will win, and it will be big. Bet that Qi Xiaolong will win, so you will press it small. ”
Everyone was excited when they heard this, and they took out the silver from their pockets and pressed it on the big one. And on the small side, there is no one who bets.
When everyone saw it, it didn't work! If no one bets, who will they win?
As if seeing everyone's thoughts, Qi Erfeng turned his head to Li Xiulan with a smile and said, "Mother, which side do you want to bet on?" ”
Li Xiulan was so anxious that her tears were about to come out, everyone pressed Xiaolong to lose, if Xiaolong really lost, how much money would Qi Erfeng have to lose!
If that is really the situation, Qi Xiaolong hurts his self-esteem, and Qi Erfeng hurts his wealth. No matter how you look at it, it's a lose-lose thing!
"I ...... Erfeng, I won't bet. This one...... Xiaolong, this kid is already ...... young" Li Xiulan was in love with Aidi, and before she could finish speaking, Qi Erfeng interrupted her.
Qi Erfeng knew that if she continued to let Li Xiulan continue, she must have said some frustrating words. In that case, it's better not to let her say it.
"Well, if you don't bet, then when the time comes, I'll be the only one who wins." After speaking, Qi Erfeng placed a bet on 'small', indicating that she supported Qi Xiaolong.
Qi Xiaolong cheered: "Second sister! I'm going to win. ”
Qi Erfeng nodded at him with a smile. This kid is really mental. Although he himself doesn't know why he won, since the second sister said that he can win, he will definitely win.
It's a good feeling to be trusted with no reason at all.
Qi Erfeng saw that everyone had finished placing bets, so he said to the strong back kitchen: "Okay, you all come and give it a try." First of all, you can use any method, as long as it is a few of you, even if it is any auxiliary tool, as long as you move the stone a little distance. ”
This condition can be said to be very relaxed.
When everyone heard this, they immediately boiled: "Wow! Great, you can help with any tool, you can bring the old cow of the family to try it. ”
"Are you stupid? Didn't I say just now, people must be a few of them, and tools definitely don't include livestock like cattle! ”
"This ......" The unknown crowd turned their eyes to Qi Erfeng.
Qi Erfeng supported his forehead, can't he understand such a simple rule?
"Tools can only be used with dead things, not with living creatures like cows." Qi Erfeng explained.
Only then did everyone nod their heads to show that they understood, and then they began to frown again: "In this case, the problem will be difficult to solve!" ”
Nonsense! If it's easy to do, where is the need to bet?
"Good! Now that everyone knows the rules, let's give it a try. Qi Erfeng said to the kitchens.
The kitchen stepped forward eagerly, after all, they had already placed the bet on themselves, and now they were all going to use all their resources to move the big stone.
If they can't move, then they will only get a few taels of silver. If you can move, you can get more silver. This temptation is not small.
Therefore, those kitchens immediately removed some of the clothes on their bodies, so as not to affect their performance.
They tried it one by one.
"Oops...... Rise! "And yet, not the slightest move! The big rock didn't move at all.
