Chapter 2 Fighting Wisdom
Li Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
A quick-witting little attendant beside him whispered in Li Chen's ear: "Childe, these four stinky boys, the little ones have all been seen before." They are all the sons of the four major families in the city, and I heard that several of them are still studying in the Shenwu Academy, relying on the power of the family and the identity of the students of the Shenwu Academy, so they dare to be so presumptuous in front of you. This fat man is Chen Yiping of the Chen family. This tall one is Hu Sheng of the Hu family. This thin one is Guan Hu of the Guan family. As for the short one, when you were seven years old when you were studying art in the Shenwu Academy, you made him lose his face, and he was the stupid boy who drank your urine as fairy water, Sun Yun. You see, Sun Yun's stinky boy doesn't dare to look up at you! Probably because he is afraid that you will mention the old incident of him drinking urine. However, young master, their four major families, Chen, Hu, Guan, and Sun, have been trying to wrestle with our City Lord's Mansion all these years, so you must be careful!"
Then, instead of being angry, Li Chen was happy, showing a harmless smile, and asked with childishness: "Who is the little straw bag scolding?"
Several people replied almost in unison: "Little straw bale scolds you!"
"Oh, there are three little bales of straw scolding me. Li Chen nodded and said with satisfaction.
The faces of the three of them suddenly froze, and they didn't want to mention what it was like. The three of them from the Shenwu Academy actually fell in love with Li Chen, the king of straw bales, and said that who wouldn't laugh off his big teeth.
"Hahaha, hahahaha......" Everyone in the restaurant really couldn't hold back this time, and the laughter shook the sky.
Fresh, really fresh.
There will be someone who falls for Li Chen's plan, this is the first time in more than ten years.
Several of Li Chen's entourage behind him were also so shocked that they couldn't come back to their senses for a while.
What a surprise!
His master flashed for the first time in his life!
Of course, they know what kind of person they are talking to, and today they are unprecedentedly smart, even they are a little unbelievable.
"Hmph, who is a straw bale, who knows it in their own hearts!" Chen Yiping said hatefully.
Guan Hu was also very angry in his heart, and hurriedly shouted: "Li Chen, if you think you are not a straw bag, then do you dare to compare with our brothers?"
Hu Sheng slapped the table and said, "Yes, let's compete and compete, you can choose what you want, and the one who loses is a straw bag!"
Sun Yun was no longer silent, and agreed with the competition.
The four of them, of course, are full of confidence. In terms of age and experience, they are slightly older than Li Chen. In terms of martial arts cultivation, they have studied art in the Shenwu Academy for many years, and their self-confidence is a hundred times better than Li Chen. In terms of intelligence and learning, they are even less likely to think that a well-known straw bale will be better than themselves.
They waited with anticrative expectation for Li Chen to agree. Only by letting Li Chen lose to the bottom can he let out this evil breath.
Li Chen's entourage immediately chattered in his ear, trying their best to persuade their master. The bitter lessons of these years have made them fall into the trap. Once you agree, you must be smiling and generous. When the time comes, he will have to run back to the City Lord's Mansion in a gloomy manner, and be mocked by the other subordinates in the mansion again.
But at this time, Li Chen stepped forward, with a light smile on his face, he couldn't see any malice, and said lightly: "Okay, I agreed! But this is a restaurant, we are guests, so let's ask the shopkeeper to help with a test question, how about it?"
"Okay! That's what you said! If you lose, you can kneel down in front of the four of us and kowtow three times, and shout three times Grandpa! Shopkeeper, hurry up and solve the question! The competition is still a martial arts competition, it's all casual!" The four of them immediately agreed, and they couldn't wait to think about "revenge."
Several of Li Chen's entourage were secretly sad, frowning, and their expressions were solemn. Judging from the rich experience they have accumulated in the past, this time, the restaurants and teahouses in the city will soon have new topics.
Only the old storyteller noticed that something was wrong.
"No, why do I always feel that Li Gongzi's temperament is a little different from usual, strange things, strange things?"
Li Chen's expression was indifferent, and he asked a little casually, "But what if you lose?"
"Straw bale, how can we lose! If we lose, we will give you a hundred kowtows and shout a hundred grandpa! Shopkeeper, hurry up, think of a competition!" They had the confidence of victory, so they casually raised their bets dozens of times.
The fat shopkeeper's eyes rolled, and he soon had an idea, and asked Li Chen and the four of them tentatively, "I don't have any good ideas for the little ones." But martial arts, it's not good to hurt your body, it's better to fight with wit, right?"
Li Chen nodded lightly and motioned to the shopkeeper to continue.
"In this way, there are a lot of fine wines in the small shop, and you can take half of them to the east market and the west market to sell them separately, and whichever side sells out first will win. Of course, since it is a competition of intelligence, you, as well as the people who are in the store now, are not allowed to step out of the store to deliver the news, otherwise with the ability of the City Lord's Mansion, dozens of jars of wine will not be sold out immediately. So you can only pick your own guys, tell them your ideas, and let my guys sell the liquor for you. Whoever has a good idea, of course, will be able to sell it quickly!" said the fat shopkeeper slowly.
When more than a dozen guys in the store heard this, they all secretly began to admire this fat boss, and at this time they could come up with such a clever trick, which not only gave an idea, but also helped themselves get some benefits by the way.
The fat shopkeeper secretly glanced at Li Chen's expression, for fear that he would blame him for his bad idea. In fact, he was already thinking about Li Chen very much, and he knew that Li Chen had brought a few entourage, although those few knew at a glance that they were some ninth-rate goods. But after all, the three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang, and those entourages to help come up with ideas, presumably they would not let Li Chen lose too badly.
Li Chen asked: "Shopkeeper, I heard that your 'Jade Dew Divine Brew' here is the best wine in our Lingshui City in the past few days, you should tell me about this wine first, and I will have an idea in a while." ”
The fat shopkeeper calmed down, introduced his own good wine, and said generously: "Our family's 'Yulu Divine Brew' is actually a mixture of two kinds of wine, one is called 'Baihua Yulu' and the other is called 'Immortal Brew'. With such a big Lingshui City, only our Fengxiang Building has to sell. If you combine two kinds of wine into one, the taste can really be said to be a good wine that is difficult for immortals to find! Therefore, the price is much more expensive than ordinary wine, a jar of flowers and jade dew, you need 30 lower grade spirit stones, and a jar of fairy brew, then you need 170 lower grade spirit stones. During the competition, my buddy took away fifty jars of Baihua Yulu and Immortal Brew, which of you can sell these hundred jars of wine faster, and get back the wine money of 10,000 lower grade spirit stones, even if you win. ”
After listening, Li Chen pondered for a while, and then showed a relaxed smile, as if he had thought of a good idea.
The idea that came up so quickly, and it was from Li Chen's straw bale head, in everyone's opinion, it must be a bad idea to fall into a dung pit.
Ignoring everyone's contemptuous gazes, he walked over to a simple fellow and whispered his idea.
When the guy heard this, he had a suspicious expression on his face, obviously very incomprehensible.
The guy's strange expression was like saying, "No, this, is this going to work?"
Li Chen raised his hand, patted his chest calmly, and nodded confidently at him, as if to say: Listen to me, yes.
The four teenagers all sneered, and thought to themselves: That's right, it can be seen from the guy's expression that this straw bale must be an extremely stupid idea, and it seems that it will be difficult to lose this time.
They discussed it for a while, and then picked a few guys to tell them how to do it.
Li Chen's entourage rushed to Li Chen, wanting to tell them their ghost idea. But Li Chen waved his hand confidently and did not change his plan.
Under the deliberate blockade, the news of the competition between the two sides did not come out of this restaurant, otherwise with the skills of the City Lord's Mansion and the four major families, I am afraid that there is no need to sell it at all, and someone will come to buy all this batch of wine.
What's more than that?
It's past noon, the sun is warm, and there is a gentle breeze, so there are many people coming to the street.
At this moment, more than a dozen of the selected guys had already transported a truckload of wine to the two major markets in the east and west, and began to sell it on the street. None of the guests complained that they couldn't leave the restaurant, and they all sat in the restaurant with great interest, waiting for the results of the competition, waiting to see Li Chen go out again, and such an opportunity to witness was extremely precious to them. Li Chen was very leisurely, sitting on a big chair, crossing Erlang's legs, and his entourage was feeding peanuts and almonds, enjoying it very much.
The east market of Lingshui City is crowded and very lively. This is where the four teenagers sell alcohol.
The four of them chose a few clever guys in felt hats. These fellows were indeed clever, and deliberately chose a place with the most dense crowds, neatly laid out all the wine, and opened three of the jars, giving off a burst of wine, so that many people smelled the wine and rushed to find out. In front of the wine jar, there is a big sign with six big characters neatly written on it: "The World's No. 1 Wine".
Not only that, but these guys also shouted desperately: "The world's best wine is on sale, look at the best wine here! Originally, it cost 300 spirit stones, but now it is only sold for 200 pieces! Don't miss it when you pass by, there is no such shop in this village! Come and take a look!"
These were, of course, the ideas of the four of them. The guys had already mixed the two kinds of wine into one jar in advance according to the instructions of the four of them to form the Gyokuro Divine Brew, so that only three jars could exude a rich aroma of wine.
The guys' loud voices roared, coupled with the incomparable fragrance, it was easy to attract a lot of people to watch.
"Good wine, good wine, it's the most mellow wine I've ever tasted!"
"It's a fraction of a second to mix two wines."
"This wine, two hundred spirit stones, is worth it!"
