Chapter 413: Preparing Dinner
"No, no, no money!"
After a dozen rounds, Barrot threw the cards in his hand in a dejected manner and leaned back in his chair. From the moment Ellie won more than 100 silver, the gambling game after that became more and more bloody, and the turnover of each game was almost around 100 silver.
Rosen and Roland basically gave up the idea of getting involved, and even if they got a big card, they had to observe the expressions of several other rich people before deciding whether to participate in the game. Even Mia was a little nervous when handling such a large amount of money. After all, the turnover of each bureau is almost two months' salary for ordinary people.
The only one who could keep his composure was probably Kelsey. Although he has been losing money, Kelsey's face does not show a bit of frustration.
It's worthy of Earl Fred's family, and it's richer than our snow castle......
Most of the Snow Castle children, except for Balot, have the same idea.
Even if you are a duke, due to the difference in geographical factors, the economic level of the Snow Castle family is not as good as that of an earl in the southeast rich area.
Of course, only in terms of the economic level. The strength, heritage, and honor of the Duke of Snow Castle are second only to the royal city's own family.
Only Barot and Ellie can be calm as usual. After all, when they were in the academy, they handled a big business of tens of thousands or even 100,000 silver.
God knows how the Doruffin brothers made so much money!
"Wow, I actually won a little bit!" Ellie counted her gambling books and let out a surprise exclamation, "So which of you lost?"
"I also won a little bit. Mia counted the bills and said, "More than one hundred and twenty silver ......."
The rest who don't speak will naturally lose money.
"Mia, you're so powerful, why didn't you say it earlier!"
"Did I tell me?"
"Eh, huh??"
"Yes!"
Of course, no one will remember Mia's reminder before the game began.
Su Wen wanted to take this opportunity to educate a few people about the truth of "small gambling is pleasant, and big gamblers are ruined", but these children seemed to be very sensible, and they did not show an expression like they were gambling a few more games to get their money back.
What's more, as Su Wen is a loser, the advice he says is not convincing.
"......" Shirley looked at Su Wen blankly, and Su Wen only noticed Shirley staring at her a few minutes later.
"Hahaha, don't be unhappy, I'll surprise you at night, okay?" Su Wen touched Shirley's head again and smiled.
After all, Su Wen helped Shirley shake out all the capital, so he naturally wanted to compensate her. If an adult loses all the money of a teenage girl, and he doesn't realize it, it's really shameless.
“...... Oh, you say, yes!"
"Certainly, certainly......"
Although Shirley wants the money back more than something, if this thing is sent by Su Wen, it will be different.
It was almost time for dinner, and the few people cleaned up the table, and then they all rushed to the kitchen and took the initiative to prepare dinner.
Dinner at the Tonning Festival, if you do your part, it will become quite meaningful.
The kids took over the kitchen, and Linda certainly couldn't squeeze in. At first, she was a little worried about the children's cooking skills, standing at the door and watching, giving guidance from time to time, but soon, she also found that these children are very capable and do not need her own guidance at all.
So Linda was idle and sat in an easy chair on the balcony of the living room, basking in the last bit of sunshine of the day. Su Wen and Pharos also sat aside.
"Kelsey, aren't you going to the kitchen?"
"Don't go. Kelsey simply rejected Su Wen's proposal and turned the page of the book in his hand: "I'm not interested in cooking." ”
At this time, just as Barot came out of the kitchen, he heard Kelsey's answer, and added: "Of course you won't be interested, I heard my mother say that when you were a child, you learned to cook and blew up the kitchen, and the whole Earl's Court blew up a small half, so later you didn't even want to use magic with fire......"
Kelsey's face suddenly turned red, and then he lifted the book up, covering his face from Su Wen and them.
Maybe it was just an accident, but it became a psychological shadow for Kelsey, so until now, Kelsey has been reluctant to go into the kitchen.
"What about Kyle? aren't you going?"
"I ...... Uh, no!" Kyle, who was sitting on the couch in a daze, suddenly sat up straight and stammered in reply, his face a little redder for some reason.
"Why?"
"Uh...... That's because ......"
"Haven't you made it up yet?"
"Not really!" Kyle's face turned even redder.
Of course, Su Wen saw the twist of this rebellious little boy, smiled, and no longer continued to tease him with words, but beckoned to Barot, and said, "Balot, take your brother to the kitchen too." ”
"Okay. ”
"I, I'm not going!"
Textbook tsundere......
Although Su Wen thought that this tsundere character was quite interesting, Barrot was unmoved, just walked over silently, stretched out his greasy hands, and stretched out his clothes to Kyle, and threatened while stretching out: "To go, to go, not to go, I'll rub the oil on your clothes if you don't go? No one will help you wash your clothes outside!"
"Ahhhh
Kyle rolled over twice on the couch, but still couldn't escape from Balot's attack, so he had to raise his hands and disarm in surrender. Then, under Balot's "escort", he squirmed into the kitchen.
Pharos watched silently, without showing any expression.
"Interesting?"
"Pretty interesting. ”
"I found that your state is much calmer than your original appearance, what's going on?" Su Wen suddenly remembered the rough voice of Pharos in a state wrapped in black shadows.
"Calm?" Pharos thought for a moment and replied, "No, it's actually all the same, maybe it's just a sensory difference, right?"
"Oh, I see. ”
In that state, even a calm tone is fierce and rough in the eyes of humans. It would be foolish to analyze the behavior of monsters based on human cognition.
The so-called "humanization of animals" is, in most cases, just wishful thinking on the part of human beings.
The situation in Pharos is somewhat similar.
The endless conversation between the two made Linda confused, and at her age, the topic of young people was naturally a little difficult to understand. But Linda was listening, too, because there was hardly anything so lively in this room.
It is a state that most elderly people want. Even just watching young people bustle is often gratifying.
The two continued to chat.
Chatting and chatting, the two suddenly froze.
Because they had just realized that in this living room, in addition to Linda, there was a young man present. That's Kelsey sitting on the couch next to him.
