Chapter 214: The Story of Wine and Meat
Fang Du pursed his mouth and blocked Tie Guan Li, "How do you say that, my own brother should also settle accounts, if I tell you this secret, won't I cut off my own financial route? But I still have a conscience, half a tael of silver, a pot of wine to give a piece of meat!" Fang Du picked up a piece of stewed meat from the pot, and the meat that was almost about to melt away, shook in front of Tie Guan Li, and half a tael of silver was in his hand.
That night, the gamblers led by Zhou Xuan entered the casino, and the first thing they smelled was the smell of wine and meat. Within an hour, Tie Guan Li had red cheeks, a stiff tongue, and a bottle of hot wine in his hand, and said to Fang Dui, "Again, another piece of meat, big, big!"
"This is already the seventh bottle of wine, the tenth piece of meat!" Fang Dui watched the silver on the table pile up more and more, and his heart blossomed.
"I said Fang Duan, what kind of reputation are you doing?" Zhou Xuan leaned over, and the saliva at the corners of his mouth flowed out. Fang Duan stretched out his hand, "Half a tael of silver for a pot of wine, one tael of silver for a piece of meat!" Zhou Xuan was shocked, "You are a Ming robbery!" He dropped half a tael of silver, picked up a bottle of hot wine and took a sip, and applauded again and again, "Not bad, it's much more fragrant than the aged daughter of that tavern three streets away!"
Fang Du said secretly, "This is what I bought from his house for one tael of silver and one jar. Zhou Xuan looked at the naked eyes in the pot, "Drink a lot of wine, eat a lot of meat, it's not like a word without meat." Come on, come on, one or two pieces of silver!" Zhou Xuan threw down the silver, Fang Duan sent meat, and the other gamblers also gathered around at this time.
"A pot of wine, a piece of meat!"
"Wine, meat!"
There were not enough bottles of hot wine, and someone replaced them with large teapots and porcelain bowls. The silver earned from wine and meat far exceeded eighty taels. Looking at the gambling table over there, there were only a few gamblers sparsely around, and the shouts were much quieter than usual.
"It's really strange, you, why don't you go to gamble today, all around, what are you doing here?" said Tie Guan Li, but he didn't mean to put down the wine jug at all. Fang Du said, "Isn't this very good, everyone is in one place, drinking, eating meat, how happy." The silver sold for wine and meat is enough to repay Brother Li, and I will give the rest of the wine and meat to everyone for free!"
"Good!"
The gamblers let out a cheer that shook the roof, and Fang Du said, "One story, one pot of wine, two stories and one meat, how about we talk while eating?"
"I'll come first!" Zhou Xuan volunteered, took out a piece of meat from the pot and said, "I'll tell you my own story, Fang Dui, how about it?"
Fang Duan nodded, and Zhou Xuan sighed and said, "Speaking of which, my ancestor Shangguan is the second rank, and he can be regarded as the queen of the eunuch gate. When I was a child, I had a high gate compound in my home, and the fertile fields were thousands of pours. But my father's person is not motivated, he has no fame, he can only be a businessman. It's just that he died young, and before he was thirty years old, he went. My mother's family worked hard to support her, and in less than a year, she also went. ”
Zhou Xuan, who was only seven years old, inherited the family business, and there were suddenly more people around him. These people flattered Zhou Xuan, coaxed and deceived, and half of the huge family business was lost in a few years. At this time, someone taught Zhou Xuan a shortcut to "make a fortune"!
"The first time I went to the casino, I was blinded. Zhou Xuan poured a big sip of wine, "At that time, I watched them screaming like crazy, laughing, crying, which scared me so much that I almost sat on the ground." But when I saw them throwing away a lot of money and putting it away, I suddenly thought to myself, I too can grow my family business like them!"
"Then what happened?" someone asked loudly, Zhou Xuan laughed, "Didn't you all see it, I lost all my family business and became a gambler that everyone spited on!
Fang Duan was curious, "This story has finished your life, so what do you want to tell next?" It can be seen that the uninhibited look on Zhou Xuan's face gradually disappeared, replaced by loneliness, "Actually, I once had a beloved!"
"Phew!" the gamblers let out a smile that implied meaning. Zhou Xuan waved his hand, "That girl is my distant cousin, and she is in love with me." I had the heart to marry, but I was accused of being a gambler and a gambler, which would delay her life. Her parents objected, and eventually beat the mandarin ducks. ”
There were a little more tears in Zhou Xuan's eyes, and Fang Duan's heart shrank suddenly, thinking of something. Tie Guan Li asked with a big tongue, "You, if you are a man, a man, just take her and elope!" Zhou Xuan wiped the corner of his eyes fiercely, "I thought so at the beginning, but at that time, she and I were too young to be caught before we ran far." She was so ashamed and angry that she threw herself into the river!"
"Oops!"
"It's a pity, it's a pity!"
The gamblers shook their heads, and the expressions on their faces changed by being drunk, probably thinking of their past. Fang Duan asked Zhou Xuan, "If you do it all over again, will you still gamble?" Zhou Xuan didn't answer, but said, "Now that we've come to this step, what's the use of saying that you regret it or not? This damn Jiulong Ding has trapped us for so many years, and you won't grow old or die, Fang Dui, you came in from outside, is there any way to get us out?"
"Yes!" Fang Du said, "As long as you don't gamble anymore, I have a way to get you out of here!" Tie Guan Li said, "Don't, don't listen to him, here, but there are nine, nine, even if we don't, don't gamble, who can guarantee him, he can convince him, the other eightfolds, those evil people?"
"That's not what I said!" Fang Du stood up and tapped the edge of the pot with an iron spoon, "If you are willing to abandon your bad habits and change your ways, it means that I have the ability." ”
"Forget it, I've been trapped for so many years anyway, I don't care!"
"That's it, brothers are in one place, happy and happy, how good!"
"But, I miss my mother. ”
"I, I miss my daughter too. ”
"Alas, my daughter, I sold her into the Qinglou, I, I can't stand her!"
For a time, people touched the intestines, beat their chests, and howled and cried. Fang Du knew that he had succeeded. He pushed the silver to Tie Guan Li, "This is what I paid you back, do you want to leave here, not me, but yourself!" After speaking, Fang Duan turned around and wanted to leave, Tie Guan Li suddenly stopped him, "Wait a minute!" Fang Duan turned around, Tie Guan Li staggered to his feet, "What you said is true, can you let everyone leave here?"
"Yes!" Fang Dui said, "I swear that as long as I can get out, I will let you leave Jiulongding!" Come on, brothers!"
