Ning Que said this, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "At first, I just thought that those were chickens raised for daily eating, after all, you have also seen her figure, almost three meals a day must have meat, so I never asked, until the county sent a big flood, she built a chicken coop for the chickens was washed away by the water, and a large number of pieces died, I knew that those chickens were not domestic poultry chickens, but ...... Cockfighting. ”

In Xiliang Kingdom, cockfighting is a relatively common folk entertainment.

Many places have also opened many cockfighting rings, and there are even cockfighting rings that are not visible.

To put it simply, two or more chickens are placed in a paddock to peck each other, and the one who wins until the end can get the hegemony of the fighting chicken among the chickens, and the owner of the fighting can also get a rich financial reward.

Of course, spectators can also make quizzes and gamble before the game starts.

It is said that ten times more people lose their fortunes every year because of cockfights than they do in gambling houses.

"Cousin aunt playing cockfighting? Don't you really know? Su Zimiao was skeptical.

Hearing this, Ning Que sighed again and again, "I stay in the yamen on weekdays, and I just pretend to be outsiders with her Qin Se and Ming, and I never ask her what she does every day, after all, our identities are worlds apart." ”

"Even if the family is rich, playing cockfighting is not something to be surprised about, so what about later?"

"Later ......"

Later, I really didn't want to think about it-

The chicken coop was flooded overnight, and more than a dozen baskets of fighting cocks were also drowned.

By the time Mrs. Ning found out, it was already too late, and the baby she had raised for many years was gone, so she naturally cried and made a fuss like crazy.

Where could the emaciated Ning Que pull her, if it weren't for Lian Xiangzhu being too fat, they would have almost been washed away by the water.

Fortunately, Ning Que is a scholar.

In my spare time, I like to read some miscellaneous stories, so I try to start water control with the methods I have seen.

Coincidentally, this flood was really cured by him.

After reporting the matter to the imperial court, the imperial palace soon received a decree of promotion.

From the county order to the prefect, such a big leap naturally made Ning Que a little fluttering, including even his family.

After all, in Fengxian, business matters must be approved by him, otherwise they can only be stillborn.

For Lian Xiangzhu, moving to the city is naturally much more convenient than living in the countryside.

It's just a pity that those drowned fighting cocks are, after all, burly and robust breeds.

Ning Que suddenly covered his face and cried,

He regretted it, "I also blame me for being poor and afraid before, after all, dozens of chickens, drowned and not died of disease, it would be a pity to throw or bury, so I let the people in the house dry the dead chicken and make it into cured meat, because the taste is really good, so I will eat one almost every day, and I heard that the chickens that lost in the cockfighting competition can't escape death, so I acquiesced to her to continue to spend a lot of money on cockfighting." ”

Su Zimiao has seen through a fact: the people who cause strange things are basically done by themselves!

"Is it okay to eat so many chickens, why did you have an accident later?"

"Later...... Later, it was the 'Changsheng General' that Lian Xiangzhu brought back from the outside, and bought it from the black market with a full 50,000 taels of gold, and it was said to be invincible, but since it appeared, strange things began to happen in the house one after another. ”

For example, when you walk, your feet will turn into chicken feet, and when you speak, you will suddenly start to crow......
