Zhao Luoyang doesn't understand spices, but fortunately she sets the rules.
In the final analysis, gambling is gambling, not a real competition, so as long as everyone finds it exciting, what everyone cares about is winning or losing.
Mr. Zheng nodded amidst the noise: "Okay, then I will play with my little brother!"
After finishing speaking, Mr. Zheng added: "Although I don't have many spices, they are not cheap either. If I lose, I will pay twice the price... I have to think about it."
Zhao Luoyang smiled and saluted Master Zheng: "If I win, I can also get these spices and money for free. No matter whether I win or lose, it's just this one, let's all have fun."
"Come on," Mr. Zheng reached out to the waiter to ask for a drink, "Hurry up and help us have fun."
The shopkeeper took the waiters to prepare the spices, and everyone exchanged glasses. When the wine was brought to Zhao Luoyang, Zhao Luoyang reached out and refused: "I don't drink because of the fragrance. Please forgive me."
Everyone laughed again.
It doesn't matter whether I drink or not, as long as the game can be played.
When the shopkeeper was ready, he placed a dozen bottles of spices in front of Mr. Zheng. They were all served in the same porcelain bottles. Mr. Zheng looked at them carefully for a while and said, "I don't even recognize these."
These words made everyone feel even more that Zhao Luoyang could not win this round.
Zhao Luoyang asked the waiter to fetch water: "I'm going to clean my hands."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhao Luoyang was swaying the water calmly. He was completely different from those who were blushing from drinking. For a moment, everyone seemed to think that this little brother was somewhat capable.
So, it’s really hard to say who will lose and who will win.
Zhao Luoyang talked to Shi Jiu in his mind: "No matter whether you understand spices or not, your posture must be good. If there is anything I am not thoughtful about, you have to remind me."
"It's true to clean one's hands, and it's true not to drink alcohol. Only discerning fragrance is false, so it's half true and half false!"
That's what she had the nerve to say.
Shi Jiu was speechless, and after a while he said: "You tell them that you don't understand spices, and that's half the truth. After all, even you are a lie."
Zhao Luoyang said: "Didn't I tell Mr. Zheng the truth from the beginning? But they didn't believe it."
Shi Jiu thought about it. Until now, no one would believe that Zhao Luoyang didn't understand spices. Not only did he not understand them, he might have never seen them before.
Zhao Luoyang came back and sat down.
Everyone urged the party to start, and Mr. Zheng pushed a bottle of spices over.
Zhao Luoyang said: "Before we start, we need to make it clear to everyone that those who want to escort me or Brother Zheng can start now, but there is a small rule here."
Everyone listened quietly, not because they valued this little brother, but because everyone thought the gameplay proposed by this little brother was good.
Zhao Luoyang said: "Every time Brother Zheng hands me a bottle of spices, everyone can raise their bets. That is to say, everyone can raise their bets at will until the final result is announced."
"However, those who did not place bets in the first round will not have the opportunity to participate again, lest someone will be willing to place bets after seeing the last round, which is unfair to everyone."
Everyone understands. Now if Zhao Luoyang and Master Zheng win or lose, the game tonight has nothing to do with them.
After staring at it all night, no matter what the outcome was, no one wanted it to end like this, so they had to participate. The dozen or so merchants surrounding them all took out their money.
In his mind, Shi Jiu said: "If this is a game between you and Mr. Zheng, you can make a fortune. No matter who wins or loses, they can work together to deceive these people."
These people were also willing to do this. The person Zhao Luoyang cheated was Mr. Zheng, but he did not deceive the merchants. They were the ones who placed the bets and raised the bets.
Maybe they have forgotten now that they were just playing with one or two silver coins at the beginning.
The money on the table was piled up, and even a few waiters were eager to take a chance. If the shopkeeper hadn't stopped them, they would have placed bets.
Zhao Luoyang waited until no one was placing bets, then looked at Mr. Zheng: "Excuse me, brother, this spice was given to me."
Mr. Zheng was focused on winning or losing, so naturally he didn't care about these details. He repeated what Zhao Luoyang wanted: "This spice is given to you."
Only then did Zhao Luoyang reach out to pick up the spice.
Spices in hand.
in mind.
The wealth value number jumped immediately.
The wealth value jumped from 44587.59 yuan to 45359.79 yuan.
[Ding] Zhao Luoyang simulated the system prompt sound in his mind.
"It's done."
The system is indeed reliable. Every time she gets something, the system will convert it into wealth value and never misses it. That's why she dared to play this game with Mr. Zheng.
So what if she doesn't know about spices? As long as she can compare the bids, she is sure to win. Since she has a system, the system has never made any mistakes.
Zhao Luoyang also quickly calculated in his mind that this small bottle of incense was worth about three sticks.
The small porcelain bottle that holds incense is only as wide as two fingers. You can imagine how much incense can be put in it, but it is so expensive.
Zhao Luoyang opened the lid of the porcelain bottle, covered it with his hand and leaned over to smell it.
This was how those people smelled the fragrance just now. She watched it a few times and it seemed that she had learned about it.
The fragrant aroma entered her nose, and it was the first time that Zhao Luoyang smelled spices up close. The aroma was very good, and she was powerless to tell whether it was good or bad.
"Shi Jiu," Zhao Luoyang said, "did you smell it?"
Shi Jiu nodded: "I smell it." Moreover, he felt that the smell was somewhat familiar, which was unusual when he thought about it. He grew up in the palace, so naturally there were people around him who used incense.
Zhao Luoyang closed the porcelain bottle, and Master Zheng picked up another bottle of incense and pushed it over. After the first time, the second time went much more smoothly. Master Zheng no longer used Zhao Luoyang to remind him, and said directly: "This bottle
The incense is given to you."
Mr. Zheng is not afraid that Sui Ji will deceive him in this matter. These incense are nothing in the first place. Mr. Sun asked him to test Sui Ji and complete the matter smoothly.
Got the second bottle of incense.
The wealth value jumped from 45359.79 yuan to 45755.79 yuan.
Before Zhao Luoyang opened the lid to identify the fragrance, the surrounding merchants began to raise their bets. After the excitement subsided, everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Luoyang, watching Zhao Luoyang smell the fragrance.
Zhao Luoyang took off the porcelain vase and looked at Mr. Zheng: "Can I tell you the result?"
Everyone's curiosity was aroused and they stared straight at it.
"Say it quickly, say it quickly!"
Master Zheng also nodded.
Zhao Luoyang placed the bottle of incense behind the first bottle, let go, and looked at Master Zheng with a smile: "This bottle of spices is not as good as the first bottle."
Mr. Zheng didn't know the result, so he asked the shopkeeper to check it.
The shopkeeper put a mark on the bottle and couldn't wait to compare it because this method was so novel and attractive.
After confirming again and again, the shopkeeper said: "Brother, you're right."
Some people exclaimed, some laughed, some regretted and were frustrated, and everyone's mood fluctuated, all just because of this bottle of spices.
"Little brother, I really belong to you."
"I'll raise again in the next game."
Zhao Luoyang cupped his fists at the people around him, but his expression was no longer as restrained as before, and he was more arrogant and proud: "You didn't bet on me before, so you can give it a try in this game."
Master Zheng said: "So what if you win one round? The money will be settled at the end. Maybe you will lose to me in the next round."
Master Zheng couldn't wait to pick up the third bottle of spices.
The merchants started to raise their bets again, and this time the amount of money added was obviously more than before. The shopkeeper glanced at it. He thought this game was just a joke, but he didn't expect this result. After a few times, the money on the table was at least
One hundred taels.
Zhao Luoyang watched the shopkeeper count the money, thinking that he had used wild vegetables to cook cakes in exchange for ten pieces of silver this morning, but he didn't expect to be sitting next to the pile of money now.
Zhao Luoyang said: "In the future..."
Before she finished speaking, Shi Jiu said: "Don't think about opening a gambling house." If she opened a gambling house, she would have gold and silver in a blink of an eye. Even if she had no capital, she would be able to make money with just one mouth.
All the money was left behind.
Zhao Luoyang couldn't help but laugh and said: "Of course not. I told you that if anyone goes to a gambling house in the future, let me break his legs. Look, it's so easy to be fooled."
Master Zheng continued to get the spices.
Zhao Luoyang thought of what happened in the past and continued to talk to Shi Jiu: "My grandpa also often played these games. I heard these words in the gambling house from his mouth. It's okay for grandma to win money, but not to lose money."
I was bored by everyone, and he beat me several times, mostly after he came back from the gambling house."
Shi Jiu frowned: "Your grandpa still beats you? You don't care?"
He remembered this incident.
Zhao Luoyang didn't care: "It's useless to care. My mother, father, and mother all stopped me, and I was met by a little mute once. I didn't get hurt, but they got beaten a lot because of me."
It was also at that time that her grandma started to take care of her father harshly, and her father felt resentful, so he secretly abandoned his wife and son.
I bought the third bottle of spices, and the wealth value continued to fluctuate. This time, this bottle of spices only cost about the same amount.
Zhao Luoyang put the spice bottles away, and the shopkeeper's verification results triggered another wave of craze.
As this continued, everyone became more and more excited.
When the sixth bottle of spices was placed, Mr. Zheng's expression became a bit strange. Sui Jian really had the ability. At least he could identify fragrances beyond the reach of ordinary people. He told Mr. Sun about this, and Mr. Sun could rest assured.
.
A notification sound suddenly sounded in Zhao Luoyang's mind.
Amid the sounds of thanks, her charm changed.
[Charm value 1]
[Charm value 1]
[Charm value 1]
…
A series of charm value increasing tips.
After this wave, the charm value increased by 11 points.
Whether it was joy or resentment, these emotions were all applied to her.
Shi Jiu couldn't help but sigh, he might never meet someone as cunning... and astute as Zhao Luoyang.
The next "fragrance identification" went smoothly.
There is not much fragrance in a small spice bottle, but the minimum price is several hundred yuan, and the maximum price is more than three guan.
Zhao Luoyang picked up the last bottle.
The wealth value jumped from 50111.79 yuan to 50884.32 yuan.
Zhao Luoyang couldn't help but be startled. The price seemed to be about the same as the first bottle. She remembered clearly that after converting it into wealth value, the last bottle had 0.33 yuan more wealth value than the first bottle.
A penny?
The difference between these two bottles of spices is one penny.
No wonder everyone couldn't tell the difference, and after Zhao Luoyang smelled it, he felt that the two bottles of spices had similar flavors.
If she believed in the system, she would place this bottle of spices in front of the first bottle, because all spices weigh the same, and even if they differ by a penny, they still have to be ranked higher.
"Wait a minute," Shi Jiu said suddenly in his mind, "Don't rush into it yet, let me think about it."
Zhao Luoyang hesitated for the first time. Mr. Zheng probably knew what was going on. He couldn't help but raise his lips slightly, showing a sly smile.
