"Bet me these ten gold coins!" Ye Congwen took out the ten gold coins given by Lian Caihong from the wooden box and shouted angrily:
"If I lose, I will use these ten gold coins to treat you to the inn to eat and drink. If you lose, you have to apologize to the innkeeper and grandson, and you have to raise ten gold coins to treat me to a meal."
"Master, this is impossible. Poor people like us can't afford this young lady-"
The old man following Ye Congwen shook his head repeatedly, but did not dare to get involved.
"Old man, this is not a matter of one person. You now represent all the common people who are looked down upon by them. I must ask her to apologize to you!"
"Who do you want my sister to apologize to? Who is so proud of her?"
Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside. Ye Congwen looked around and saw two strong men who were taller and more powerful than the two Mo brothers striding over.
When Lin Xiaoyu saw his two half-brothers rushing up, he was afraid of conflict with Ye Congwen, so he quickly stood in front of them and explained with a smile:
"It's nothing, I was having fun and betting with my brother Yu."
The two brothers of the Lin family were very surprised when they saw that their little sister actually knew how to protect outsiders from letting them pass. When they saw Ye Congwen's appearance, they immediately understood the mystery.
The two brothers smiled knowingly and shouted at the top of their lungs:
"How come we two brothers were missing from the bet?
Little brother of the Yu family, can you tell me how to gamble?"
"You two are here just in time. There are nine of us in total. Each of us will have a bite of this cold tripe. After eating, we will judge whether it tastes good or not. The one with more people will win. Lin Xiaoyu, do you dare to bet ten
A gold coin?”
Lin Xiaoyu saw that her three brothers and sisters had three votes, and if she gave Mo Renxin four votes with a wink, it goes without saying that Sister Yueyue has always been a clean freak, so she would eat this dirty tripe.
It's weird.
Five to four, even if the rest of the people support you, you will definitely lose!
"Just bet, whoever is afraid of whom! I'm sure to eat the big dinner at Jintang Inn tonight."
"Everyone takes a turn to take a bite. Don't express your opinion first. After eating, I will ask slowly one by one."
When Ye Congwen saw Lin Xiaoyu's round eyes, he knew that this girl was counting the number of people. He sneered in his heart, "How can you obediently jump into my trap if I don't draw you a big cake?"
Ye Congwen walked slowly to Yu Yueyue and motioned for her to start. When Yu Yueyue heard that it was tripe, she felt uncomfortable. When she thought of those disgusting things, she felt like she was about to turn upside down.
He shook his head, with a slight pleading in his eyes, hoping that Ye Congwen would let him go and find someone else to be the guinea pig.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyu felt secretly happy. As expected, Sister Yueyue was a mysophobic sister and even I, Lin Xiaoyu, couldn't stand her. I wanted her to eat that dirty tripe. Yu Congwen, you are waiting for a treat tonight.
Bar.
"That's not true. You ate two or three pounds in one meal last time, and now you are pretending to be elegant. Isn't it too hypocritical?" Ye Congwen said dissatisfied.
"Who ate two or three pounds at a time? Can you please stop talking nonsense?"
Yu Yueyue is also anxious. I will give you ten gold coins at most, but you can't damage my image as a lady? Eat two or three kilograms at a time, or tripe? Am I, Yu Yueyue, shameless?
"After we dug out the medicinal materials, I went downstream to collect stones to use against the Iron-billed Goshawk. You stayed alone on the boat to wash the medicinal materials. Don't you remember the box of food you ate?"
"Isn't that the braised beef that pigeon sprouts made for you?"
Yu Yueyue remembered that she ate beef, but she was too hungry at the time, so she couldn't care less about the food. Anyway, she felt that the more she ate, the more delicious it became, and her appetite was surprisingly good. She seemed to have eaten more than half of it in one meal.
“The beef was shriveled
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Can it be as delicious as tripe? The beef is cut into large slices, and the tripe is only as wide as a finger. Dal Sprout knows that I like to eat her braised tripe, so she puts tripe in all the dishes for me every time.
I packed two kilograms of beef specially for you because I was afraid that you, a lady from an aristocratic family, would not eat the braised beef. Who knew that all the beef was left there in the end? I even rolled it up on purpose and ate all my tripe.
, I thought you loved tripe very much!"
"Sister Yueyue, what is the Iron-billed Goshawk, and who is the Pigeon Sprout?"
Lin Xiaoyu suddenly stuck out her head and asked curiously. She was originally very interested in how Yu Yueyue found Yu Congwen.
Yu Yueyue has been opening her mouth and extending her hands since she was a child. She has never seen what cooked tripe looks like. She ate several kilograms in one meal last time and thought it was all braised beef.
Afraid that Ye Congwen would mention rolling up the beef again, he quickly picked up his chopsticks and tasted a piece of tripe. After careful review, it was indeed that taste, and he asked with a little doubt:
"Everyone says tripe is fishy and smelly, but why do I think it tastes better than beef? It's chewy and has an endless aftertaste."
Ye Congwen saw Yu Yueyue eating several pieces of tripe in a row, and finally a proud smile appeared on his face. This woman almost caused him to lose ten gold coins. You are the most critical link!
"My good sister, do you think it tastes good?"
“It’s delicious.”
"Okay, with your fair and impartial judgment, I am very optimistic about the outcome of this bet. You guys, second brother and third brother of the Mo family, should also try it. My sister Yueyue said it is delicious, so I think it must be the same."
Suitable for both of you.
Otherwise, if she goes to your house in the future, won't she be starved to death, not even allowed to eat tripe, and families who can't even eat a piece of it will not go there!"
Ye Congwen winked while talking, which made the two twins very excited! Is this to lead a red line for himself?
This opportunity must not be missed, and the time will never come again. The relationship between this little brother must be maintained well, why not just eat a tripe, no matter how stinky it is, can it be as stinky as stinky tofu?
The two brothers from the Mo family picked up a large handful with their chopsticks, showing a heroic demeanor. They were about to swallow them alive, but Lin Xiaoyu saw them and said angrily:
"You two, don't help him cheat, otherwise you two brothers will pay for the money you lose later!"
"What are you talking about? Is the eight-foot-tall man Mo Second Brother Mo Third Brother that kind of treacherous villain?
I added a little more chili pepper. If the second and third brothers find it spicy, you can drink some sweet wine after chewing the tripe."
When the two brothers heard Ye Congwen's suggestion, they nodded repeatedly and started chewing the tripe without realizing it. They suddenly felt that it tasted good. With the help of wine, they started to eat the food.
When Lin Xiaoyu saw the greedy expressions of the two Mo brothers eating, his brows jumped and he felt something was wrong.
"The second and third brothers of the Mo family think this thing is good. I wonder what the two brothers of the Lin family think of this tripe?"
Ye Congwen counted with his fingers and found that there were already three people on my side. Plus Benben and I, we had at least five seats and were guaranteed to win. But to be on the safe side, I still asked other people for their opinions.
The Lin brothers simply picked up their chopsticks, took a bite, and said overjoyed:
"It's really refreshing and has endless aftertaste. Xiaoyu, hurry up and take a bite. How could Brother Congwen deceive you?"
Have you forgotten that he connected with you three times today? You were fine in the morning, so why are you betting again now? You need to change your nonsensical character. Be careful that no one dares to get close to you in the future."
Lin Xiaoyu was very angry when he saw his two brothers turning against each other, but he thought that his hostility to Yu Congwen was indeed inappropriate. Didn't I want to get along well with him? Why did he suddenly become enemies?
"Who asked him to put in a good word for Mo Renxin? He kept pushing me towards Mo Renxin. He wished that I would marry this fat man now so that you could live with your unparalleled cousin?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Lin Xiaoyu was startled by his weird thoughts. Was he possessed by an evil spirit?
Seeing Lin Xiaoyu being scolded by his brother, Mo Renxin didn't say anything for a long time. He thought Lin Xiaoyu was sulking, so he quickly coaxed:
"Don't be discouraged, little sister Xiaoyu. I think this dirty food must not taste good. Anyway, I don't dare to use chopsticks."
Hearing Mo Renxin's words, a stern look flashed in Ye Congwen's eyes. This guy is really looking for opportunities to attack. He would shoot behind his back whenever he had the opportunity. He shouldn't have been soft-hearted and spoke for him just now. He made the decision without even trying.
Conclusion, this is an unfamiliar white wolf!
When everyone heard this, they all stared angrily. How noble are you? But for the sake of making Lin Xiaoyu happy, they could only choose to turn a blind eye.
Lin Xiaoyu glared at Mo Renxin, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the tripe. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he looked completely different, and asked in surprise:
"Brother Congwen, it's really delicious. How did you make it?"
"It's delicious. You should eat less and save your stomach for a big meal tonight! I'm willing to admit defeat. Let's quickly pay the money for the big dinner at the Jintang Inn tonight. Ten gold coins. There are exactly nine of us. Each of us will pay.
One is enough, I will pay for the rest.
Yu Benben, quickly take the plate and go to your brothers and sisters to collect the money."
Yu Benben admired Ye Congwen so much that he could exchange a few plates of tripe for nine gold coins. Has the world changed and money is so easy to make? He quickly came to the crowd with a fruit plate.
"Let's start with you, sister Yueyue! I always enforce the law impartially and will not recognize any relatives."
……………………
Everyone rested for half an hour, and after the Mo family's carriage was repaired, they continued on their way.
Before arriving, Third Uncle Yu had repeatedly promised to rush to the Jintang Inn before dark. He had left in a hurry, and Ye Congwen had no time to ask clearly. It happened that only the three siblings of the Yu family were sitting in the carriage, and Ye Congwen quickly asked clearly.
"Jintang Inn, as the name suggests, is to advertise that our inn is extremely safe and impregnable."
Yu Yueyue explained that it was rare that Lin Xiaoyu, the annoying spirit, was not around. At this time, she was in a good mood, so she told the two rookies about the precautions and taboos of this trip.
"This time we are going to the Demon Hunter Apprentice Camp. The journey is about four to five hundred miles. Why do we choose to set off at noon?
That's because we need to stay one night at the Jintang Inn. It's useless to go early. After passing the Jintang Inn, the three hundred miles are all deserted boulevards, where not only ferocious beasts are infested, but thieves are rampant.
Therefore, for the sake of their own safety, people passing by will basically choose to stay together for warmth, stay at the Jintang Inn for one night, and set off together the next morning. Under normal circumstances, they will not be attacked by ferocious beasts or robbed by thieves on the way.
"
"There is something like this that needs to be guarded against. Does the Great Xia Dynasty raise so many demon-hunting guards just for food?
Just send a few body-forging warlocks to eliminate those bandits and ferocious beasts on the spot, wouldn't it be enough once and for all? Why should we common people suffer such an unnecessary disaster?"
Ye Congwen was not happy when he heard that he was a robber and a ferocious beast. After all, he was going to be an apprentice in your Demon Hunting Guard. He would be a pillar of the imperial court in the future. It was understandable to send a body training warlock to take care of him.
?
"You are also a person who has read books. You don't even understand the principle of using a bull's knife to kill a chicken, right?
What's more, these bandits are sneaky and erratic. They hide when you come, and come out to rob you when you leave. Can you afford it?"
Seeing that Ye Congwen no longer refuted, Yu Yueyue thought she was shocked by her own truth, and added with a smile:
"Your situation is too small. You should take a broad view. When you look at the problem from the perspective of the imperial court, you will understand that adults have difficulties. You, a child, cannot understand the difficulties."
