The mirror lake is very large, the lake surface is endless, and when the spring breeze rises, the water is sparkling.

More than a dozen pleasure boats, large and small, cruised on the lake, and the sound of silk and bamboo faintly came from the boat.

The tallest, most spacious and most palatial boat can carry 100 passengers, and this boat is where the Mirror Lake Poetry Club is located.

In front of the lake is a square, which is paved with bluestone slabs.

At this time, there is still half an hour before the Jinghu Poetry Meeting, but the square is already crowded, and there is still a steady stream of people walking towards the square.

Outside the square, there are all kinds of vendors, and people with a little business acumen have already pushed the vendors to guard here early.

So when Su Shi came to Mirror Lake, he felt a headache.

There was an endless stream of people shuttling back and forth, and Su Shi was dazzled.

Su Shi originally thought about whether he could meet Qin Nan before the poetry meeting began, as long as he understood Qin Nan's true intentions, it didn't matter if he participated in the poetry meeting or not.

However, Su Shi looked at the weaving tourists, and sighed in his heart, knowing that his hope had been disappointed.

Wanting to find Qin Nan among so many tourists is tantamount to fishing for a needle in the Mirror Lake.

However, Su Shi was not without gains, because among the many vendors, Su Shi saw a familiar figure.

Chen Xiaolan set up a stall in the northwest corner of the square, and there were only a few people standing in front of the stall, which seemed a little deserted compared to other vendors.

Because of this, there was an anxious look on her face.

Su Shi slowly walked through the crowd and walked in front of her.

Chen Xiaolan was in a daze, feeling someone approaching, so he hurriedly got up and asked, "The guest needs ......?"

Before she finished speaking, she was stunned on the spot, looking at Su Shi blankly.

She never imagined that she would meet Sue Shi here.

When she came to her senses, a trace of blush appeared on Qingli's face, and then she said softly: "Xiaolan has seen Childe. ”

"How did you set up a stall?"

Chen Xiaolan lowered his head and replied: "I have nothing to do at home, and I thought that there was a poetry club here today, so I went out of the stall." ”

Su Shi looked left and right, but didn't find her father, Chen Ang, and asked, "Alone?" ”

"My father helped push the stall over, and because there was someone to guard the house, I told him to go back."

Su Shi looked at the stall, the cart had been carefully cared for, and it looked clean and tidy, and the coarse porcelain bowl had also been replaced with a blue and white cup, obviously Chen Xiaolan had made careful preparations.

"How's business?"

Chen Xiaolan shook her head, although she was very attentive, but the competition was too fierce, there were eleven or twelve restaurants selling soup alone, and the black plum soup did not have any advantages, so the business was really not good.

"How many cups were sold?"

"Fifteen cups." Chen Xiaolan's voice became quieter.

"How much have you prepared?"

Chen Xiaolan smiled bitterly: "Two barrels can be sold for two hundred cups." ”

Originally, she thought that there were many tourists in Jinghu Lake, and a poetry party was being held, so the two barrels of black plum soup should be sold out soon.

However, she had already set up a stall for an hour, and only sold fifteen cups, but she was afraid that by the end of the poetry meeting, these two barrels of black plum soup would not be sold.

At this time, two more people walked towards Chen Xiaolan's vendor, and she was about to walk forward to greet her, but after seeing the person clearly, her face suddenly turned pale.

Because Su Shi turned his back to the visitor, he thought he was just an ordinary tourist, but when he saw Chen Xiaolan's face fuse, as if he had seen a poisonous snake and beast, he immediately turned around to look, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but reveal a sneer.

"It turns out that Young Master Bai also likes to enjoy spring and go green, but he is very fateful."

Although Su Shi didn't laugh, he gave people the feeling that he was laughing.

"Even Su Gongzi has this Yaxing, how dare Bai not be vassal?"

Although Bai Jiangchuan was laughing, he gave people a cold feeling, and he deliberately said the three words Su Gongzi very seriously, and glanced at Chen Xiaolan after speaking.

"Young Master Su?" Chen Xiaolan was confused at first, and when she understood, she couldn't help but look at Su Shi in surprise.

Although Bai Jiangchuan called out his identity, Su Shi was still very calm, and he said indifferently: "It's much later than I imagined." ”

Bai Jiangchuan smiled: "It's not too late. ”

Although Chen Xiaolan was shocked, she returned to normal after half a moment, and she said to Su Shi with a smile: "Childe has been shopping for a long time, let's have a cup of black plum soup to quench your thirst first." ”

Su Shi looked at her with relief, nodded, and said, "Two cups." Then he said to Lin Mo: "You also have a drink." ”

"Okay." Lin Mo replied.

Bai Jiangchuan looked at Chen Xiaolan with some surprise, he couldn't imagine that Chen Xiaolan would return to normal so quickly, and he trusted Su Shi so much, even if he found out that Su Shi had deceived her before, he still believed him.

But then he smiled and said, "I also want two cups, since this black plum soup even Su Gongzi thinks it is good, how could I miss it." ”

Then he said to Du Heng: "Du Huyuan, do you say?" ”

Du Heng hurriedly replied: "That's nature. ”

Bai Jiangchuan said lightly: "Don't forget to give money, it seems that Su Gongzi has lost a lot today." ”

Chen Xiaolan looked at Su helplessly, she really didn't want to entertain these two.

Su Shi just smiled and said, "Everyone who comes is a guest, since they like it, we naturally won't refuse." But ......"

Chen Xiaolan looked at Su Shi blankly: "But what? ”

Su Shi said: "Sell it out early and close the stall early." Saying that, he glanced at Bai Jiangchuan, and then sighed: "There are not many good people in this world, but there are many bad people. ”

Bai Jiangchuan was also not angry, because Su Shi was telling the truth.

Instead, he smiled and said, "If Gongzi Su wants her to close the stall earlier, I can help." ”

"How is Young Master Bai going to help?"

Bai Jiangchuan said: "It's only two hundred cups, I can wrap it, so that Miss Xiaolan can collect the stall and go home to rest earlier." ”

Su Shi shook his head: "This doesn't require Young Master Bai to break the bank." ”

Bai Jiangchuan said with some regret: "It seems that my kindness Su Gongzi can't comprehend, but in this way, Miss Xiaolan is afraid that she will not be able to go back until late." ”

Su Shi suddenly looked at Bai Jiangchuan and said deliberately, "Really? ”

"Isn't it?" Bai Jiangchuan asked rhetorically.

A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Su Shi's mouth, and he said lightly: "Then Young Master Bai dares to make a bet with me?" ”

Bai Jiangchuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It turns out that Su Gongzi is really a gambler, our gambling game is not over yet, and now I actually want to gamble again." ”

"The so-called small gambling is pleasant, and the big gambling hurts the body." Su Shi said: "Let's make a small bet this time, one hundred taels." ”

Bai Jiangchuan also became interested: "What are you betting on?" ”

"Let's bet on whether Miss Xiaolan can sell out these two hundred cups of black plum soup within an hour."

"An hour?"

"Yes, an hour."

Bai Jiangchuan laughed and said, "Since Su Gongzi wants to send me money, how can I refuse." ”

Then he said coldly: "Okay, I bet." ”

Chen Xiaolan was anxious on the side, because she knew that she would not be able to sell it out in an hour.

She was about to say something to stop Su Shi from being stupid, but Su Shi turned his head to her and said, "Do you have a pen?" ”

"Pen?"

"Yes, writing pen, I will add a few words to your signboard, and these two barrels of black plum soup will definitely be sold out in an hour."
