Chapter 45: The Gambling

Heishui City is more prosperous than Jinling City, and the city gate is more magnificent, and similarly, the inventory at the city gate is relatively strict.

After answering the questions of where the city gate guards came from, where they were going, and what they were going to do, Qin Chuan and the three of them were able to enter Blackwater City.

The streets of the city were spacious and clean, with vendors on both sides, shouting and shouting, and he even saw street performances.

Although there are cultivators in this world, this kind of fire-breathing performance, the performance of breaking a big stone on the chest, is still very popular with ordinary people.

Qin Chuan had never seen these things in his previous life, so he also followed the crowd to watch for a while, but he just watched the excitement, after all, with his current cultivation, let alone breaking the boulder on his chest, even if the chest was broken steel plate, it would not be a problem.

"Hey, there's a candy gourd seller here!"

When he saw the sugar gourd string on the shoulder of a middle-aged uncle, Qin Chuan suddenly leaned over with a look of surprise.

When he was in Jinling City, he walked through several streets and didn't find such a thing as a sugar gourd, and he thought that there was no such refreshing snack in this world, but he didn't expect to find it in Blackwater City.

Now it seems that it's not that people in this world don't like sugar gourds, it's just that people in Jinling City don't like them.

"Brother Qin is really childlike."

Looking at Qin Chuan, who seemed to have discovered a new continent, Gongsun Keming couldn't help but shake his head.

In his opinion, the sugar gourd is something that only children under the age of ten like.

"I want it too, wait for me!"

At this time, Qingfeng also hurriedly whined, and ran after Qin Chuan, even if he was carrying a wooden box behind him, it did not affect his speed at all.

Obviously, he also likes sugar gourds.

Seeing that the two of them left him, Gongsun Keming could only smile helplessly, and then walked towards the sugar gourd seller.

After a while, the three of them met again in one place.

It's just that the three of them at this time are holding a sugar gourd covered with frosting in one hand, and on Qin Chuan's shoulder, they are also carrying a gourd string, which is full of red sugar gourds.

"I said, Brother Qin, even if you like to eat this thing, you won't be able to buy all these sugar gourds, just the three of us, we can't finish it."

Gongsun Keming glanced at Qin Chuan speechlessly, just now the latter directly waved his hand and directly bought all the sugar gourds with ten taels of silver, and those who didn't know thought that he was going to buy and sell.

"How do you know you can't finish eating?"

Qin Chuan bit down a hawthorn and said with a smile: "Do you believe that when we get to the yamen, these sugar gourds will all be gone?" ”

Before Gongsun Keming could speak, Qingfeng on the side preemptively said: "You brag, I don't believe it." ”

In such a short period of time, he has already eaten three strings of sugar gourds, and now, his teeth have begun to sour, and with the acidity of these sugar gourds, it doesn't take five strings to sour people's teeth.

"Oh? If you don't believe me, how about we make a bet? ”

Qin Chuan glanced at the breeze beside him and said: "From now on, if these sugar gourds are still there before you arrive at the Yamen, I will lose you two hundred taels of gold, if not, then you will lose me two hundred taels, how about it, do you dare to bet?" ”

I don't know why, Qingfeng felt the smell of conspiracy from Qin Chuan's face, but when he thought that the other party would definitely not be able to finish eating these sugar gourds, a smile immediately appeared on his face again.

"Okay, just bet, I hope you don't cheat then."

"I'm definitely not going to cheat." Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "Come, let's pull the hook together, whoever is playing tricks will be a puppy." ”

"Okay, pull the hook."

Looking at these two people, one big and one small, Gongsun Keming couldn't help but smile, although he also felt that Qingfeng was bound to win, but he didn't know why, he always felt that there seemed to be some conspiracy hidden in it.

"Brother Gongsun, do you want to gamble too?"

Gongsun Keming, who was originally holding the mentality of watching the excitement, originally planned to get involved in the bet between the two, but since Qin Chuan asked, he didn't refuse.

Although he felt that Qin Chuan had a conspiracy, he didn't care about winning or losing.

"Okay, then I'm just like Qingfeng, bet you can't do it, it's two hundred taels?"

"Forget it, it's enough to win two hundred taels of Qingfeng." Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "Let's not bet on gold and silver, let's just bet on lunch, whoever loses, who treats in the best restaurant in Blackwater City, how about it?" ”

"Yes."

Gongsun Keming bowed slightly, a meal at the best restaurant in Blackwater City was nothing to him.

"Then let's go."

After setting the bet, the three of them walked towards the yamen of Blackwater City, and they didn't know if it was to reach the yamen as soon as possible, Gongsun Keming and Qingfeng were much faster than normal.

In this regard, Qin Chuan only smiled and didn't take it to heart, because he had already won today's gamble.

When the group of three walked to the Yamen only three streets away, Gongsun Keming and Qingfeng finally slowed down.

"Brother Qin, if you don't hurry up and eat, you'll have a lot of bleeding at noon today."

Gongsun Keming looked at it with a mocking expression.

"Brother Gongsun, don't worry, watch me play a trick for you."

Qin Chuan finished eating the sugar gourd in his hand with a smile, and immediately opened his throat and shouted.

"Sugar gourd! Sweet and sour sugar gourd! ”

His voice didn't go far in the noisy streets, but with his shouting, a few children who were close immediately ran towards it.

"Big brother, I want a bunch of sugar gourds!"

"Two strings! I want two skewers! ”

Several children immediately surrounded Qin Chuan, and as soon as a few little hands stretched out, they took out a few copper plates.

"Okay, come, you pick for yourself, see which one you want."

Qin Chuan squatted down with a smile, put the gourd string on his shoulder on the ground, and let a few children choose by themselves.

A few little guys, looking left and right around the sugar gourd strings, finally picked a few big and round.

"Big brother, give you money."

A little girl with pigtails couldn't wait to take a bite of the sugar gourd, and a happy smile suddenly appeared on that little face.

Qin Chuan looked at this beautiful little girl, and his heart suddenly melted.

"Don't need any money, this sugar gourd, my brother invited you to eat it."

After speaking, he looked at the children around him and said, "Brother made a lot of money today, so I invite you to eat sugar gourds for free, and I won't charge you money." ”

"Thank you, brother!"

Hearing that they could eat it for free, several children immediately became happy, and a few even reached out and took a few more off the gourd skewers.

In this regard, Qin Chuan didn't stop it, but to his surprise, the little girl with pigtails handed the copper coin in her hand in front of him again.

"Big brother, thank you for inviting Xinxin to eat sugar gourd, but Daddy said that you have to give money for eating, and you can't just take other people's things."

Looking at the serious look of this little girl named Xinxin, Qin Chuan couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, then my brother will charge you a penny."

Qin Chuan took a copper coin from the little girl's palm, and then took a sugar gourd from the sugar gourd string.

"Brother is happy today, two strings of sugar gourds for a penny."

This time, Xinxin did not refuse, and after the little hand put away the remaining copper coins, he took over Qin Chuan's sugar gourd.

"Thank you, big brother."

The little girl thanked her politely, and then left with a sugar gourd in her hand.

"What a lovely and polite little girl."

Looking at the little back in the distance, Qin Chuan's face couldn't help but show an old fatherly smile.

At this moment, he decided that since he had no chance in his previous life, in this life, he must fulfill his wish to give birth to an intimate little padded jacket.

"I knew you had a conspiracy, and it turned out that you had this idea."

With the children leaving, Qin Chuan's gourd strings were already missing by one-third, and it was only then that Gongsun Keming knew that he had been fooled.

Yes, in this bustling street, how can no one eat sugar gourd, a food that is so popular with children?

"Hehe, accept and concede."

Qin Chuan stood up in a good mood, arched his hand at Gongsun Keming, and said, "The best restaurant in Blackwater City, it seems that I have a good fortune today." ”

Although there are still two-thirds of the sugar gourd at the moment, the ending is already doomed.

Looking at his successful conspiracy, Gongsun Keming shook his head in annoyance and said, "I wouldn't have bet with you if I knew it, hey, I'm really going to bleed this time." ”

Although he said so, he didn't care at all in his heart.

It's just a meal, and it can't make him break his muscles and bones.

However, he didn't care, but the breeze on the side had a bitter face and said, "It's over, my two hundred taels of gold." ”

"What's your two hundred taels of gold, that's my two hundred taels."

Qin Chuan raised his hand and patted it on his head, and said, "Since you lost to me two hundred taels of gold, the two hundred taels promised to you earlier will be regarded as an offset, and the two of us are now cleared." ”

After he reminded him like this, Qingfeng remembered the two hundred taels that the other party promised him before, that is, although he lost, he didn't need to pay for it.

After thinking about it, the bitterness on his little face disappeared.

But the next moment, he suddenly paused and looked at Qin Chuan with a suspicious expression.

"Didn't you plan to cash out the two hundred taels of gold to me from beginning to end?"

The other party promised to give himself two hundred taels of gold, and the bet he had made before happened to be two hundred taels of gold, so it would be strange if there was nothing greasy in it.

Qin Chuan stopped, a relieved smile appeared on his face, "It's okay, the reaction is not too slow, I thought you would have to react after a while." ”

"You're right, I didn't plan to cash out the two hundred taels from the beginning, and this gamble is also specially set up for you, the purpose is to win the two hundred taels I promised from you."

As he answered, Qingfeng's little face suddenly darkened.

And looking at his appearance, Qin Chuan continued: "Of course, if you are not fooled this time, and you should bet on me, it doesn't matter, because as long as you don't win back the two hundred taels promised to you, I will continue to create a gamble for you until you should bet." ”

"Bad guys! Bad apple! ”

Listening to Qin Chuan's words, Qingfeng felt that he had received ten thousand critical hits.

How can there be such a person in the world?

Qin Chuan smiled and patted Qingfeng's head melon lightly.

"Young man, people's hearts are sinister and not gullible, I'm doing this for your good."

With that, he carried the gourd and walked away, leaving only a hateful back for Qingfeng.

"Childe ......"

Qingfeng looked at his son-in-law bitterly, hoping to be comforted, but the latter had no intention of comforting him, just touched the top of his head and left.

Console? Comfort a fart!

He is the one who really deserves to be comforted.

Don't look at Qingfeng who lost the gamble, but in fact he didn't need to pay money, it was equivalent to not losing or winning, and he was different, he really lost a meal.

In a sense, he is the only loser in this gamble.
