Beijing Volume 0177 Chapter 0177 Talking and gambling about people's hearts
As they got closer, they came to the cherry blossom hills, and the official road of the hills was sprinkled with many cherry blossom petals, and the cherry blossom trees stood tall there, where several flower farmers were picking the newly bloomed pink cherry blossoms, which were used to make women's fat powder and other special products. A gust of wind blew, shaking the cherry blossom trees, bringing together more and more petals in the air, dyeing the originally blue sky with pink and white warmth......
"I said Brother Ye, how about we make a bet?" Feeling the beautiful scenery in front of him, Huo Qinglong, who didn't know why, suddenly wanted to refute the fact that Ye Qingchou had a different opinion from himself.
"What bet?"
"Not far ahead is Muya City, haven't you inquired about passers-by before, is there a Zhuangzi outside this Muya City! Let's see if the first person to do business with us in that Zhuangzi is Diao Shicheng. ”
"You're not satisfied with what I'm saying?"
"It's not that I'm not dissatisfied, it's just that I feel very good on this road in Tanzhou, and it's even better than the last time I came, after all, the people we met before asking for directions, I felt very enthusiastic. ”
"Enthusiasm? This is still the junction of Yunzhou and Tanzhou, and some border people are kind of broad, but in the depths they are typical Tanzhou people. Although there are only a few people I don't like here, it's okay to make a bet, in addition to practicing martial arts and helping Wang Feifei write a book, there should be some other things to do along the way! But what are you going to bet on?" Ye Qingchou glanced at Huo Qinglong, who seemed to have become a lot more active than before, and wondered if this kid had let go of not only the regret for the border soldiers, but also the kind of attachment to the fifth pure sound!
"Brother Ye, the cost of the first day of entering the city, whoever loses will lose!" Huo Qinglong said, looking into the distance, where a trace of the edge and corner of the wall of Muya City had already been faintly revealed!
......
Entering the Zhuangzi, as the last Zhuangzi before entering the city, both sides of the road seem to be very lively, and many merchants are here to take a temporary rest. "This noodle shop is well cleaned up! Let's eat noodles here!" Huo Qinglong said, pointing to a noodle restaurant not far away.
"Then this is the gambling place?" Wang Feiyu saw from a distance that the front of the noodle restaurant was cleaned up, and the small courtyards on both sides were red as red kapok, pink peony flowers, and the little bees attracted by the refreshing fragrance of flowers, and for a while, he felt that Ye Qingchou was losing more and more!
"Since it's a bet, then we're going to put away our weapons. Ye Qingchou glanced at the weapons that Wang Feifei and Huo Qinglong hung on their waists and said.
"Weapons? It's fine! It's really not easy to mess with weapons! I can't see what is bad. Huo Qinglong nodded.
Saying that, the three of them took out a long cloth bag and received all their weapons into it, stuffed some things on their backs as a burden, and then put away their warrior breath, slightly modified, and from a distance, they were two young brothers who were playing outside and a fledgling little Taoist......
Tie up your horse and walk into the noodle shop –
"Yo, where is your adult?" Huo Qinglong looked at the counter as a young man who looked to be between nine or ten years old, with dark and yellow skin and a simple face, and his spirit suddenly rose!
"My dad went out to buy, what do you want, officer?" the young man skillfully fiddled with the abacus on the counter.
Looking at the noodle sign hanging above his head, Huo Qinglong made a choice, "I want a bowl of braised noodles, you are bringing me two plates of tiger skin spicy, what do you want?"
"I want pork rib noodles and two taels of beef. ”
"Fried noodles, less spicy. "Three people, three choices.
A bowl of braised noodles, a bowl of pork rib noodles, two taels of beef, and a bowl of fried noodles, less spicy. After the little boy shouted to the kitchen on the other side of the curtain behind him, he took out two small plates of tiger skin spicy food from a basin placed on the counter, and handed them to Huo Qinglong.
The three of them found a table next to them and sat down, Huo Qinglong put down the two plates of tiger skin spicy meat, glanced at the young man standing in front of the counter, and lowered his voice quite proudly and afraid of being heard by the counter, "Look! This kid is good at work, Brother Ye, you are doomed!"
"Not necessarily. Ye Qingchou also suppressed his voice, and after finishing speaking, he took out two garlic cloves from the bowl in front of him and began to peel the garlic slowly.
"That kid, what do you think of Fei Fei's defeat?" Huo Qinglong turned to look at Wang Fei's defeat.
"It's really hard for me to say, but with his age, if he had been in this noodle shop since he was a child, he should have been measured in this business. Wang Feifei said and glanced at the young man standing at the counter. In all states of this world, the age of marriage is earlier than that of Wang Fei's previous life, such as Youzhou, a large border state, considering the war factor, many people get married at the age of twelve or thirteen! Even Tanzhou is later, and the marriage is also about fourteen years old, so the nine- or ten-year-old boy is not too young.
"Obviously, I'm going to win, but if you don't lose, you won't fully support me!By the way, what method do we use to see if he is sincere?" This bet is easy, but when it comes to taking the initiative to test it, Huo Qinglong makes it difficult.
"Don't worry! It looks honest or not, there's no need to make it too complicated, let him find the money in a while, find the right one!Even if you win!" Ye Qingchou smiled slightly, the clothes he was wearing were the best among the three, the beautiful azure color on the clothes with the silver and white edges looked a little expensive, the young man in front of the counter before secretly glanced at his clothes several times, he couldn't be wrong!
"He's not a fool, he'll definitely find the right money later. Huo Qinglong felt that he was taking advantage of it.
"This bet is just a casual bet, besides! Wang Feiyu on the side also took a garlic clove and broke the garlic skin.
"Yes, I don't want all the bad things to happen along the way. Since the two of us are making a bet, you will pay for it in a while!" Although Ye Qingchou felt that the young man on the counter was a bit of a philistine, he didn't think that the other party would deliberately make a mistake when looking for money.
"Okay!" Wang Fei agreed.
As he was talking, the noodles were ready, first of all, Wang Feiyi's fried noodles, picked them up with chopsticks and sucked them into their mouths.
"Not bad!" Wang Feiyi said and took another bite of the milky white garlic clove he had just peeled to relieve the greasy.
With the sound of Wang Feifei snorting and eating noodles, the other two bowls were also served......
Suck and suck ......
Suck and suck ......
For a while, the sound of eating noodles reverberated among the three of them......
Soon, when everyone had eaten about the same, Wang Feiyi, who had finished eating first, stood up and made eye contact with Ye Qingchou and Huo Qinglong, and walked to the counter first. Wang Feiyu took it out in his arms, took out a small stack of paper tickets, and then took out one and handed it to the young man who was a little greedy.
Wang Fei lost to a copper note representing seventy copper coins, which was much smaller than the face value of the silver ticket.
Seeing that the Taoist priest in front of him took out a big money, after the young man took it, he first took the copper money and looked at the dark pattern in the sun, and then calculated whether the number on it was reasonable, and then put it to his ear and dusted the copper banknote, listened to the sound, and only after confirming that there was no problem with the texture, he put it away.
At face value, the boy was looking for forty-one copper coins.
"One, two, three......" The young men counted one by one in front of Wang Feirui, and the numbers were clear. Then he held it with one hand in his right hand, which was not too small, turned his hand over, the back of his hand was facing up, and slightly arched and put the large handful of copper coins into Wang Feiyi's outstretched right hand: "This is looking for you." ”
Feeling the weight in his hand, Wang Feiyi smiled slightly, and ignored the young man's hand that was holding it back, but counted it in front of the young man, "One, two、...... Twenty-eight, twenty-nine, this Yanlong Tongbao is missing twelve?"
"Really? I'll count again. The young man frowned suspiciously, stretched out his hand, grabbed the handful of copper coins directly from Wang Feiying's unfolded palm, and then counted them one by one, "Oh, the count is wrong! As he spoke, the young man took out a handful of copper coins from the drawer and added them to his hand one by one......
"Here, this time it's appropriate!" the young man said, turning his hand over again, and handing the money to Wang Feifei with the back of his hand facing up, his fingers tightly closed.
Wang Feiyi shook his head slightly, he stretched out his left hand to catch it, and then when the young man was about to withdraw his hand, his right hand suddenly stretched out, and quickly lightly touched the back of the young man's hand, the young man's hand was unstable, the fingers were separated, dingding, and three extremely slight jingling sounds came into his ears.
Wang Feiyu withdrew his right hand, and at the same time withdrew his left hand, and counted it again in front of the young man, this time one was not bad.
"Okay! not bad!" Wang Feiyi smiled and put the copper coin away, and glanced back at Ye Qingchou and Huo Qinglong, who had already followed, "Let's go! ”
The young man in front of the counter glanced at the three of them with a cold face, did not speak, but began to greet the next customer: "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?"
Out of the noodle shop, Huo Qinglong looked back at the horizontal plaque on it, and wrote the four big words 'Duozi Noodle Restaurant', "Duozi Noodle Restaurant, this noodle restaurant is good, but what's going on with this kid?"
"Okay, Senior Brother Huo, let's go!" Wang Feiyu patted Huo Qinglong on the shoulder, and then went to lead his horse.
"Don't forget you're in for a treat. Ye Qingchou smiled slightly and walked past Huo Qinglong......
"Let's go! Don't stand, Senior Brother Huo! Let's continue on our way, let's talk about it when we enter the city!" Wang Feiying said to Huo Qinglong, who was a little stunned after losing the bet.
"I said non-defeat, what the hell is going on? How dare he do this?" Riding on the horse, Huo Qinglong still didn't figure it out, he looked at Wang Feifei and felt that he could give himself an answer.
"Senior Brother Huo, you see that the materials we wear are all good, plus riding a horse, he thinks I won't count the money seriously. ”
"Can't count money seriously?, is he so bold?" Huo Qinglong still didn't quite understand.
Wang Feiyi knew that Huo Qinglong was drilling the tip of the bull's horns at this time, so he continued to analyze: "Senior Brother Huo, let's face to face, that kid is a local, maybe he thinks that something happened, and we won't do anything to him!"
"But this is the first time I've encountered this kind of thing! Even difficult patients are not like this!?"
