52. The road meets the black shop

Heijiagou Carriage and Horse Shop is notorious in this area, but Tian Taohua and Li Danian came from other places, and they didn't know the details and were hit.

The shopkeeper of this black shop is the bookkeeper. This guy has squinted eyes and a stomach full of bad water. For a few days, his black shop was not open. Today, I thought: today is a good day, someone should send it to the door.

He got up early in the morning, woke up his three men, cleaned the yard, cut the grass, and mixed the ingredients. Prepare the meal and just wait for the guests to arrive. I waited for most of the day and no one came. The four of them were bored, and the shopkeeper came with two chicken coops.

There is a black rooster and a red rooster in each cage. He said to the three men, "Come, let's make a bet and see which rooster wins." Gambling money for a silver ingot. ”

The three men heard the spirit and circled around the chicken cage, and finally, the three of them agreed that the black rooster would win, and unanimously bet on the black rooster to win.

The shopkeeper asked the three of them with a hippie smile, "Are you sure?" ”

The three of them circled around the chicken coop again, and finally replied in unison, "The black rooster wins!" The reason for this is this: the black rooster is tall and big, and the red rooster is a chicken neck smaller than the black rooster.

The shopkeeper put the two chicken coops in front of a pool, and then took a pen and wrote them down one by one, and asked them to sign them, so as to prevent them from turning into a fool.

Then, the two roosters were put in the pool, and the two roosters fought.

Soon, the results came in. The red rooster beat the black rooster and fled, hiding to the side, not daring to fight the red rooster again.

The angry three subordinates screamed, "Whoa, whoa! "Defeat the red rooster!" "You soft bones, we lost money!"

The three subordinates had no choice but to obediently pay the shopkeeper the money.

The three of them were not convinced, and asked the shopkeeper, "Why can't that big rooster beat that little rooster?" ”

The shopkeeper held the silver in his hand and said happily: "You have only seen the size, but you have not distinguished that this little rooster is a fighting, which is specially used for fighting." And that big rooster is an average rooster. ”

"And that kind of statement?" One of his subordinates asked, puzzled.

"Of course, what you do is what you do, radish can top that thing, what do you want us men to do." The shopkeeper pretended to be knowledgeable and said, "The biggest gain I gained from going to the Central Plains this time was to buy this fighting, and when I came back, I relied on this fighting and won fifty taels of silver." ”

Then, the shopkeeper began to introduce the knowledge about cockfighting.

The merits of cockfighting depend on its fighting nature and fighting skills. Cockfighting enthusiasts often say: "The appearance of its coat color, the internal audit of its nest." "The so-called litter refers to the blood relationship of the fighting. The choice of fighting cocks is mainly based on the tenacious fighting nature, especially the fighting to the end, and there are good hereditary chickens, so special attention is paid to the blood purity of the fighting, at least 2-3 generations.

There are several types of fighting skills in cockfighting: the head is high and the fighting posture is good-looking; Running laps, run laps after a few hits; The all-round style of play is the most ideal way of playing. No matter what kind of play, as long as you are good at fighting more than two kinds and have heavy legs, you are an excellent cockfighter.

"This fighting of mine is a good fighting." The shopkeeper put the two roosters in separate cages and pointed to the red rooster.

Then, the shopkeeper put the chicken coop in the back of the house, fed the chickens, and returned to the front desk. The shopkeeper looked at the wine jar and there were more than a dozen jars, which was enough to deal with for a few days. Suddenly, one of his subordinates jumped up and said happily: "There is someone, there is the sound of horses' hooves!" ”

"Okay, the deal is coming, let's go our separate ways." The shopkeeper gave an order, and they were all ready.

The shopkeeper approached Tian Taohua and Li Danian to the room, and when the shopkeeper served the meal, he put the sweat medicine into the wine and poured the two of them.
