Uncle Shi coughed lightly and cupped hands with Zhou Dalang. Just as he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly focused on the big cock in Zhou Dalang's arms.
He rushed forward with bright eyes, touched the oily feathers of the big cock, and asked as if he was seeing a lover, "Is this the big cock you are talking about?"
Everyone in the Zhou family was frightened by Uncle Shi, and even Zhou Dalang was silent for a while.
But Man Bao was not stunned. She rushed up with Uncle Shi, stood next to her fourth brother, and reached out to touch the feathers of the big rooster. She asked proudly, "How is my big rooster?"
"Okay, okay!" Zhou Dalang touched it again and again and asked, "How much do you want to sell it for?"
Man Bao was stunned and scratched her head. She had never thought about this, because she thought they liked big cocks so much that they should be able to sell them for a good price.
The most important thing was to find him a nice-looking big rooster, so he was willing to sell the hairless rooster to her at a cheaper price.
Man Bao couldn't help but glance at the rooster that was losing its feathers.
Uncle Shi followed her gaze, and the child's thoughts were almost written on his face. Uncle Shi laughed and asked, "Do you want my cock?"
Manbao nodded.
"What are you going to do?"
"Stew the soup and drink it," Man Bao raised his little head and stared at Uncle Shi, "The cock is so nourishing, my mother wants to eat the cock."
"This chicken can only be used to stew soup, but..." Uncle Shi asked doubtfully: "Don't your family raise roosters?"
"You have to eat it every day. This big rooster is more expensive than yours. If you buy this one, you can also buy a second one."
Uncle Shi couldn't help but feel happy, "Not bad, not bad, smart enough, okay, I bought this big cock."
Uncle Shi almost couldn't wait to take the chicken from Zhou Lang's arms, touched it, then put it on the ground and drove it a few steps. Seeing that it was energetic and strong, he became more and more satisfied.
He felt around in his arms and found out a small piece of silver, threw it to Man Bao and said, "Here, I bought this chicken, and that rooster is for you."
Man Bao took a look at the silver and asked, "How much does this weigh?"
Uncle Shi felt a little guilty, but his face was strong and calm, and he said proudly: "Why don't you have three or five coins? You can go back and weigh yourself."
Man Bao felt that the silver was not reliable and asked, "Don't you have any copper coins?"
"Who goes out to gamble and brings a bunch of copper coins with them?" Uncle Shi said, "Do you want it? If not, I won't buy it."
Before Man Bao could say anything, Wu Lang quickly expressed his desire. Even Zhou Dalang couldn't help but said to Man Bao, "There should be three coins, that's enough."
He knew that this chicken cost sixty-five cents, three cents of silver, which would be three hundred cents in copper coins.
Zhou Dalang glanced at the miserable rooster on the ground with not many feathers left, not to mention giving away a rooster for nothing.
Although it doesn’t look good, it doesn’t affect eating.
When Man Bao heard that his elder brother was sure, he was very happy. He held the silver piece and concluded the deal with Uncle Shi. He also said: "Next time I have a good cock, I will come back to you."
"You have to be able to fight, otherwise a beautiful and strong one like this one will do."
The people who witnessed their transaction secretly followed Zhou's family, and when they left the market and out of Uncle Shi's sight, they immediately stepped forward and said: "You are so stupid. That big rooster is worth five taels of silver at least. You guys
I sold it to Shi Dalang for just a few coins, which is such a loss, so I'd better go back and negotiate again."
The three brothers headed by Zhou Dalang were all shocked, "One, a rooster is worth so much?"
"This is not an ordinary rooster, it is a rooster that can make money. Shi Dalang makes a bet. Do you know how much it will cost? At least twenty taels. If this rooster wins, he can get so much in one hand!"
The other party made a gesture, and everyone was stunned. Only Man Bao raised his little head and looked at them with contempt, "You are so stupid, what if you lose?"
The Zhou family's boiling blood immediately ran cold. Yes, what if they lose?
Ever since his fourth brother lost money in gambling, Manbao has heard from Keke many tragic stories about various intelligent races in the past, present and future that have lost their families and even themselves because of gambling.
Keke said that in gambling, nine times out of ten you lose, and the only thing that wins may not be skill and luck. Didn’t you hear what Uncle Shi said just now?
There are a lot of counterfeiters in casinos. People outside may not know it, they just don’t dare to say it out loud. Why?
Afraid of being beaten or killed.
So Manbao summed it up himself, whoever is stronger will win.
If her fourth brother fights against all the invincible players in the world, will anyone dare to win his money?
"But, that rooster is worth five taels of silver!" Wu Lang was still a little unwilling.
"Fifth brother, that chicken was originally worth only sixty-five cents. Now we have not only made more money, but also got a big rooster for free." Man Bao had her own reasons. She clasped her little finger and said:
"If the uncle who sells the big rooster finds out about this, will he be angry to death? If Uncle Shi uses this rooster to gamble and loses, he will not only lose the money, but also buy the rooster from us at a loss
Where’s the money?”
Wu Lang felt the same when he thought about it, and felt a lot in his heart.
Zhou Dalang also said, "It's always happy to be content. You're such a big man, but Man Bao hasn't figured it out yet."
"Brother, don't talk about me. Didn't you regret it just now?" Zhou Wulang was not convinced, but he couldn't help but look at Yaomei with admiration, "Manbao, you are so smart. My parents always said that you are smarter than us. I still
If you don’t believe it, now it seems that you are indeed very smart.”
Man Bao nodded proudly and smiled without any humility: "It's just so-so. It's mainly because my friends taught me and I learn quickly."
"What kind of friend? Isn't it Mr. Zhuang?" Wu Lang said: "Now that you have Mr. Zhuang as your teacher, you can't just call him friend all day long. You have to call him teacher."
Then he said: "Actually, I think you are smarter than us. You can't blame us for being stupid. It's mainly because your parents are smarter..."
"Wu Lang, what are you talking about?" Zhou Dalang slapped him on the head. Only then did Wu Lang realize that he was talking nonsense. He quickly covered his mouth and giggled, looking at Man Bao nervously.
Man Bao comforted Zhou Dalang, "Brother, don't be angry. Fifth brother is just stupid. You are smarter than him, just like dad."
Then Manbaote said proudly: "I am just like my mother. My mother is a little smarter than my father. My fifth brother is not like anyone else. I don't know if I picked it up on the street. Alas, my mother is always worried. She goes to bed every night.
I said before that I don’t know if Xiao Wu will be able to talk about his wife in the future.”
Zhou Dalang and Saturday Lang:......
Zhou Wulang became sad and angry, "Where am I stupid? I am honest and like my father. Do you know that?"
Man Bao shook his head, "I can't see how you resemble dad. If you don't believe me, go home and ask dad and see if he says you resemble him."
