The one hundred and fifty-eighth borrowed silver
Wang Jintong and Zhang Xiangde listened to it as a joke at the beginning, and later Fu Hongbo said more and more details, Wang Jintong and Zhang Xiangde were also fascinated by it, but they still didn't believe it, after all, there was a lot of money involved.
But hearing Fu Hongbo say this, it is too tempting, and few people can resist the temptation of money. Now the more reliable people Wang Jintong knows are Li Xiaoyao and Tian Xiaohui.
So Wang Jintong found Yuan Zhizhi and asked him to go to Jiangnan to find Li Xiaoyao and ask if it was risky to expand the area and recruit people to play cockfighting?
Wang Jintong is not ink, nor is he cowardly, but cautious, Huo Jun's casino doesn't have much silver, the brothers have been working hard for three years, this bit of family foundation is here, almost all the silver that can be used.
If this silver is deceived, then the situation of Wang Jintong and others will be dangerous, because the big dyeing workshop is now a black hole that swallows money, although they bought that piece of land, they have to keep building shops, and they need silver.
The land of the big dyeing workshop keeps throwing silver into it, although Huo Jun Casino is stable here, but the silver is too slow, and it basically can't fill the hole in his big dyeing workshop, so once there is a problem in the casino, the land of the big dyeing workshop will be over.
Fortunately, Yuan Yuancheng brought good news after he came back, and told Wang Jintong lightly: "Boss Ye Yuanhe said, don't worry, your little silver is not enough for people to burn incense in the temple and donate incense!"
With Li Xiaoyao's message, Wang Jintong breathed a sigh of relief again, and then followed Yuan Yuan to go to the money village in a hurry, and the boss greeted him personally, and Wang Jintong took 2,000 taels of silver.
In the past two days, Wang Jintong and Zhang Xiangde have been preparing for silver and casino cockfighting, and it was completely fiddled in the afternoon of the first day, Wang Jintong and Zhang Xiangde did not go out to eat, because the casino was about to go to people, so Cao Zijie and Zhan Tianyang went to the small restaurant next to them and ordered some hot dishes.
Cockfighting is certainly not a novel game in the prosperous Jiangnan like Li Xiaoyao, but for Yitou County, it is a very exciting novelty to play. Gamblers usually don't even know what the name of the chicken is, they dare to bet, the basic way to bet, is to follow the trend, there is a person to babble that the chicken will win, the silver ticket is like snowflakes, thrown on the table.
The cockfighting arena on the fifth floor enclosed a space with a cloth, and all the surrounding furniture was moved to the underground warehouse, leaving an empty hall with no seats.
In the open hall, there were people standing watching the cockfight, those who understood and those who didn't understand, all eagerly waiting, Mencius Fan and Jiao Xiang also wanted to make a windfall, and took out the silver at the bottom of their own box, and planned to press it to the Luhua chicken when the time came.
The cockfight is about to start, Wang Jintong and Zhang Xiangde each walked to the middle of the arena with a chicken, Wang Jintong lifted the red cloth on the chicken, and there was an uproar in the field, Wang Jintong said: "Everyone, this is just the authentic Luhua chicken specially selected from the Khitan, everyone knows that Khitan, that place is colder, and this Luhua chicken adapts to the climate over there is more cold......
Before Wang Jintong finished speaking, he was stopped by a young man wearing a placket and holding a paper fan with a big open hand, and the man said: "Hey, I said Jintong, I don't understand, what does cold hardiness have to do with cockfighting?"
Wang Jintong said: "If you are cold-resistant, the skin and flesh will be firm, and the stew will be strong." ”
The young man spread his hands, and in despair, he said: "We are here to see the cockfight, not the stewed chicken, what do you say is useless, this chicken looks quite fat, and it will be stewed for us in a while." “
"Haha. “、
Everyone on the field burst into laughter, and Wang Jintong wanted this effect, he shook his head and whispered: "Ignorant people" and then put the Luhua chicken in the cloth.
Zhang Xiangde lifted off the red cloth and revealed a pheasant, its tail was five-colored, its volume was three times larger than the reed chicken, Zhang Xiangde's cloth was lifted, he snorted, and pecked Zhang Xiangde's palm.
"Wow"
The gamblers were obviously attracted by the pheasant in Zhang Xiangde's hand, and before Zhang Xiangde could speak, the eyes of the gamblers had already lit up.
Zhang Xiangde said: "Everyone, this chicken is a mountain pheasant selected by Western Xia, it is wild and unchanging, aggressive and ruthless, if not, it is difficult to survive in the mountains, so it is its nature to be aggressive." “
"Good" The audience applauded.
The big brother who had just worn a placket couldn't bear it, and he said impatiently: "Oh, I said Xiangde, hurry up, spread the ground, I'll press this pheasant, isn't there no upper limit, I'll press one hundred taels first." “
The tense and exciting cockfighting competition began in the midst of people's commotion.
Wang Jintong and Zhang Xiangde, Cao Zijie, Zhan Tianyang, and Mo Renjie were already tired of their work, and they didn't close their eyes for three days. First of all, Wang Jintong transferred all the miscellaneous items on the first floor to maintain order, and also served tea and water to these gamblers.
Everything was carried out in an orderly manner, although tired, but the results of the work were quite gratifying, looking at the people around the field shouting and screaming, Wang Jintong and Zhang Xiangde began to collect cashiers here.
After only half an hour, Huo Jun also walked in, he gave Wang Jintong a look, Wang Jintong walked over, he called Wang Jintong aside, and asked, "Jintong, how much money have you received?" Huo Jun looked at the black head again after asking, and smiled.
"Goo-dong, goo-dong!!"
Wang Jintong poured two large bowls of tea in a row, took a few breaths and said: "My Luhua chicken is now 1,500 taels of silver, Zhang Xiangde's pheasant, hey, now it's almost 3,500 taels of silver, and now I can earn more than 1,800 taels by a pair of seams!" Wang Jintong said with a happy smile.
"Hehe... When are you going to seal the note??" Huo Jun smiled and continued to ask.
"I'm going to go after I finish talking to you....!"
"Listen to me, start the second half, seal the bet again, and then let's put all our silver on the Luhua chicken, this opportunity is used, there will be no more, do you understand?" Huo Jun thought for a moment and said slowly.
“... Okay, but it's all pressed, do you think it's okay? What if the news is unreliable and we lose?" Wang Jintong thought for a moment and agreed.
"Phew, tell you that when I knew the Khitan for a long time, you were still spinning in your mother's belly, can he lie to me?" Huo Jun asked with a smile.
"Yes!!" Wang Jintong nodded and said.
Wang Jintong watched Huo Jun turn his head and leave, suddenly thought of something, and said to Huo Jun's back: "The chief you knew before is dead, and now the chief has been replaced." “
