Chapter 21 Olympic Guessing
Xiao Jian returned to the dormitory of the Municipal Party Committee Guest House, and Zheng Xuan was lying on the bed leisurely watching TV.
Seeing Xiao Jian's tired face, Zheng Xuan pretended to be concerned and asked, "Are you back?" Finished writing the work report? ”
Xiao Jian didn't want to pay attention to him, put down his bag, lay down on the bed, and inadvertently glanced at the TV, it turned out that he was broadcasting the Olympic program live.
Zheng Xuan was bored with himself, he knew that he only sent the information to Xiao Jian after work, and let Xiao Jian work overtime passively, Xiao Jian must be very unhappy in his heart.
Zheng Xuan said cheekily: "Hehe, I'm sorry today, Section Chief Liu hasn't come back this afternoon, that summary, you see if it's useful, it took me a long time to write." ”
Xiao Jian lay on the bed and waved his hand weakly: "Forget it, I'm done writing."
Zheng Xuan didn't know how to answer, so he didn't have anything to say: "Then have you eaten?" ”
Xiao Jian was hungry, and when he heard this, he couldn't wait to scold Zheng Xuan. Just when I was about to get angry, the men's track and field competition was broadcast on TV, and the final of the men's 110-meter hurdles was about to be held. Xiao Jian suddenly realized something when he saw this, and he thought about it and decided to make Zheng Xuan bleed.
"Zheng Xuan, I'm a little hungry, I'm going out to eat some barbecue, do you want to eat?"
"Ah, I'm also a little hungry when you say that, you go buy some and bring them back", Zheng Xuantian replied shamelessly.
Xiao Jian guessed that Zheng Xuan would say this, so he said: "Let's just do it, don't hide it between the two of us, it's not fair for me to treat or you to spend money." To be fair today, how about the two of us take a gamble and guess who will win the men's 110m hurdles in this track and field event? What if whoever guesses wins and the person who doesn't win the guess is going to have a treat? ”
Zheng Xuan looked at the picture on the TV, thinking in his heart, Xiao Jian didn't watch the live broadcast just now, but I watched it for several hours in a row, and the TV was also talking about which player had a better chance. Besides, he Xiao Jian may not be able to guess the result of the game, if no one guesses it, then it is not a loss, I will definitely win this bet.
So he replied briskly: "Yes, no problem, whoever loses will pay." ”
"Who guessed first?" Xiao Jian asked.
"Let you come first".
"Okay, then I guess this champion is Liu Yangyu of our country."
Zheng Xuan heard Xiao Jian say this, and said in his heart, Xiao Jian, Xiao Jian, it seems that you really don't understand track and field, you will lose this time. Athletics has always been the world of black people, black people are naturally explosive, and the content of fast-twitch muscle fibers in the body is more than ten percent higher than that of yellow people. Although Liu Yangyu is expected to win the World University Games, Liu Yangyu is too young, and his experience in the competition is far worse than that of Johnson, the world champion of the United States team.
Zheng Xuan smiled confidently and said, "So sure? I guess it's Johnson of the United States."
"Then we'll see," Xiao Jian held his breath and looked at the TV screen, at this time all the contestants were already standing on the starting line and getting ready, Xiao Jian was looking forward to history repeating itself.
Zheng Xuan also looked at the TV with a smile, looking complacent.
A starting gun rang out, and both men were glued to the screen.
As the minutes and seconds passed, Zheng Xuan's expression changed from smug to suspicious, and from doubtful to impatient, and at the last moment, he even clenched his fists and shouted loudly: "Run, bastard, run."
The TV host shouted excitedly: "Liu Yangyu, Liu Yangyu, he won the Olympic men's 110-meter hurdles championship, he broke the monopoly of black people in track and field, he created the history of Asian athletes......"
Faced with the result, Zheng Xuan's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe the facts in front of him, "This can't be!" How could Johnson lose! ”
"No, this doesn't count, two wins in three games, let's guess!" Zheng Xuan spoofed and said.
"Okay, I'll give you another chance," Xiao Jian had expected Zheng Xuan to be like this, so let him lose convincingly.
The final of the men's 100m will soon be broadcast on TV.
Zheng Xuan pointed to the TV and said, "Let's guess this, you were lucky last time, and I don't believe you will win this time."
"Okay, then I guess ......"
"Wait a minute, I'll guess first this time", Zheng Xuan interrupted Xiao Jian's words.
"Okay, you come, you come," Xiao Jian made a gesture of please.
The favorites for the men's 100m championship are Powell, Crawford, Green, Zheng Xuan is cautious this time, Powell is too popular, in case there is another problem. Zheng Xuan thought for a moment and said, "I guess Green."
Xiao Jian smiled, "Gatling."
Gatling? Machine gun? Which green onion is it? I haven't heard of it, Zheng Xuan had a few question marks in his mind, and shook his head contemptuously, Xiao Jian, you are 100% defeated this time.
This time, there was no suspense again, Xiao Jian guessed again.
Zheng Xuan was completely deflated like a defeated rooster. "How could it be, how could he have guessed it both times! It makes no sense. ”
"I am willing to lose the bet, don't pretend to be stupid, let's go," Xiao Jian patted Zheng Xuan's shoulder and said.
In a small street a few hundred meters away from the guest house of the municipal party committee, a barbecue stall on the side of the road is doing very good business. Many people dressed in the appearance of cadres sat on cheap plastic benches in twos and threes, eating skewers and drinking beer regardless of their image.
Xiao Jian glanced at these people, and already understood a little in his heart, these should be civil servants from remote counties who came to attend an important meeting of the municipal party committee, and they had nothing to do at night, so they came out to drink some night beer to relieve their worries.
Xiao Jian and Zheng Xuan were sitting a little away from the crowd, and the owner of the barbecue stall came over and asked, "You two, what do you want to eat?" ”
"I just want to eat meat, let's have lamb skewers, pork belly, pork ribs, and more lamb kidneys", Xiao Jian looked at Zheng Xuan's facial muscles twitching slightly, his heart was secretly refreshed, and he said loudly to the boss.
"Okay, you wait," said the young man, who quickly noted down the quantity and variety, and went about to prepare.
Half an hour passed, and the table in front of Xiao Jian was full of bamboo skewers, and he skewered them one by one, saying while eating: "Well, today's barbecue tastes so delicious!" ”
Looking at Xiao Jian's feasting, Zheng Xuan sat quietly on the side, feeling that his eyebrows were about to twist into a rope. Zheng Xuan felt that his heart was dripping blood, he regretted it, he was so angry in his heart, why did he agree to make a bet with Xiao Jian when his brain was in the water?
Xiao Jian looked at Zheng Xuan with only a few baked potatoes in front of him, and deliberately said: "Why do you eat so little, don't just eat vegetarian, it's not nutritious, eat more barbecue, come, eat a kidney", Xiao Jian took a skewer of roasted lamb kidneys and handed it to Zheng Xuan's mouth.
"I've been on fire lately and have a bad appetite". Zheng Xuan refused with a black line on his face.
"Hey, the grilled ribs are very fragrant, do you want another one?" Xiao Jian picked up another huge rib and shook it in front of Zheng Xuan's eyes.
"No, I'm full."
