In this way, the two of them decided on the bet in just a few words.
The document says: As long as half of the stones selected by Mr. Ma can cut something out, Xing Yajun wins. If the success rate is less than half, Ding De wins. The bet is 10,000 taels of silver. After signing the document, both parties will win.
No regrets.
"Hmph!" Ding Dequan snorted coldly: "I want to see how powerful this Mr. Ma is!" Ding Dequan thought that he had read countless people and developed a pair of piercing eyes. From the moment Ma Xiaoyao entered the door, Ding Dequan started to look at people.
Observe carefully, whether you look up, down, left or right, Ma Xiaoyao does not look like a master. Ding Dequan believed in his own vision, so he dared to sign a bet with Xing Yajun.
"Dry your eyes and watch carefully." Xing Yajun smiled confidently: "Just don't cry when you lose later."
"You want to win against me? That's just a fool's errand!" Ding Dequan snorted.
"Not convinced?" Xing Yajun chuckled: "I will convince you, and you will be convinced."
"You still haven't changed your bragging habit, and it's getting worse." Ding Dequan said sarcastically.
As the saying goes, colleagues are enemies. The two have fought for decades, and Xing Yajun basically lost. He brought Ma Xiaoyao here today because he wanted to vent his anger. Of course, he did not tell Ma Xiaoyao about this, for fear of
Ma Xiaoyao will have feelings of resistance.
"Whether it's bragging or not, you'll know later." Although Xing Yajun looks relaxed on the surface, he is actually very nervous inside. He doesn't care about losing 10,000 taels of silver. What he cares about is face. For him
, face is more important than money, Xing Yajun secretly prayed in his heart: Mr. Ma, you must live up to your expectations!
…
After a while, Ma Xiaoyao picked out fifty stones, fifty stones in total, not one stone too much, not one stone too little.
"Have you picked it?" Ding Dequan smiled: "The stones Mr. Ma picked are really special. They are of different heights and ugly. Some of them are scraps. I really don't know what to say."
Ding Dequan was a little worried at first, but after seeing the stones selected by Ma Xiaoyao, his worried heart was immediately relieved. Based on his many years of experience, the stones selected by Ma Xiaoyao were all defective products, and cutting out treasures
The probability is very low.
Xing Yajun was quite calm. Since he chose to believe in Ma Xiaoyao, he would support Ma Xiaoyao unconditionally.
"Let's settle the bill first." Ma Xiaoyao said calmly.
"Okay." Xing Yajun took out a stack of banknotes from his arms: "Calculate, how much money is there in total."
"These are defective products, worthless at all. If you like them... I'll give them to you." Ding Dequan said in a pretentious manner. He said this because he wanted to disgust Xing Yajun, but Xing Yajun wouldn't eat it at all.
This set.
"I, Xing Yajun, never take advantage of anyone, especially not yours." Xing Yajun said, "How much are these stones worth?"
"You don't want to give it away for free? You are so rigid." Ding Dequan laughed mockingly: "Since you insist on paying, I have no choice but to accept it...these stones total...two hundred and thirty taels...you give me
I only need two hundred taels of silver..."
"I'll give you two hundred and fifty taels, no need to look for it." Xing Yajun put the silver note into Ding Dequan's hand.
"You don't want to take advantage of me, and I don't want to take advantage of you either." Ding Dequan gave Xing Yajun twenty taels of silver.
Ma Xiaoyao saw everything in front of him, and he was secretly amused. These two guys were really living treasures. On the surface, they were harmonious, but secretly they were fighting fiercely. "The money has been paid, and now we can cut the stone."
Bar?"
"Yes, you can do it at any time." Ding Dequan nodded: "Come on, cut all these stones."
Two guys walked over and started cutting the stone with knives.
"Yeah, there's gold in this stone."
"Hey, there's gold in this stone too."
"There is something inside this stone. It is a precious agate."
…
Every time a stone was cut, the two guys would exclaim. Forty-seven times for fifty stones, that is to say, something was cut out of forty-seven stones, and only three of them appeared.
The waste rocks were all intentional by Ma Xiaoyao. He deliberately made three waste rocks because he didn't want to show off too well to avoid being suspected.
Most of the things cut out were gold and silver, and there were a few pieces of jade of good quality. These things together were worth tens of thousands of taels of silver at least. I spent two hundred and thirty taels of silver, and finally earned tens of thousands of taels of silver.
, this deal is simply a bargain.
"Hahaha..." Xing Yajun laughed proudly: "That's great! It's simply great! Shopkeeper Ding, what else do you have to say now?"
Ding Dequan was immediately dumbfounded. Forty-seven of the fifty stones had something in them... There was a probability of more than 90%. This was incredible. This was the first time he had seen this in his long life.
Such an awesome person, a master, an absolute master! Ding Dequan looked at Ma Xiaoyao with fiery eyes. In his eyes, Ma Xiaoyao was now a living treasure, a cornucopia of wealth.
"Hello!"
Xing Yajun yelled in Ding Dequan's ear: "Don't act stupid for me!"
"Uh..." Ding Dequan came to his senses. He glanced at Xing Yajun, and then at Ma Xiaoyao, with complex expressions in his eyes. This Xing Yajun was really lucky to find such an awesome person.
A master of stone gambling.
"Ding Dequan, you lost this bet, you won't default on the money, right?" Xing Yajun looked at Ding Dequan sideways, his eyes full of ridicule.
"Then what..." Ding Dequan nodded with an embarrassed expression: "I lost... I am willing to admit defeat..." At this point, Ding Dequan took out a handful of banknotes from his arms, pulled out a few, and put the rest
All the banknotes were stuffed into Xing Yajun's hand: "This is ten thousand taels of silver, take it."
"Huh?" This time it was Xing Yajun's turn to be stunned. He didn't expect Ding Dequan to admit defeat so readily and pay the money so readily. Isn't this Ding Dequan's style? In Xing Yajun's mind, Ding Dequan is a greedy person.
, a despicable, cunning villain! Originally, Xing Yajun was already prepared for Ding De to default on his debt, and he even thought of an excuse... But in the end, everything he prepared was useless.
Ding Dequan had no intention of talking to Xing Yajun now. He put all his energy on Ma Xiaoyao: "Mr. Ma, you are such a master! You are the most powerful master I have ever seen...! You must have learned the magic of stone gambling.
Right? And you have also practiced the magic of stone betting to an extremely advanced level...Have you already mastered clairvoyance?"
"You misunderstood." Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "I have never learned the magic of stone gambling."
"Uh? You haven't learned anything?" Ding Dequan was stunned: "Then why are you so powerful?"
"This is my privacy. It's not convenient for me to tell you, but there is one thing I can answer you clearly. I have indeed never learned the magic of stone gambling."
"this……"
"Shop Manager Xing, there are no good stones here anymore. Let's go to the next store."
"Go, go!"
Xing Yajun glared at Ding Dequan provocatively, and then left Yunshifang arrogantly.
"Hey, Mr. Ma...Mr. Ma...I want to treat Mr. Ma to a casual meal, and ask Mr. Ma to show his respect." Ding Dequan quickly chased after him.
"I'm sorry, I'm very busy recently and I really can't spare the time." After politely refusing, Ma Xiaoyao left in large strides.
"Shopkeeper Ding, thank you for your money." Xing Yajun waved the banknote in his hand, then left with his hands behind his back, humming a little tune. Today he finally let out a bad breath, "Okay, okay!!"
Since he won the bet, Xing Yajun's importance to Ma Xiaoyao has increased several levels. Now Ma Xiaoyao is the treasure in his hand, and he protects it carefully, for fear that something unexpected will happen to Ma Xiaoyao.
In the following time, Ma Xiaoyao and Xing Yajun visited several shops and finally won a lot of money.
After dark, Ma Xiaoyao and Xing Yajun returned to their residence.
"Oh my... I feel so good today! I feel so good!!!"
"I made more than 300,000 taels of silver in one day. This is so fast."
"It's so exciting, so exciting."
"Especially when I see those old opponents looking dumbfounded, it's very refreshing!"
“I feel so relieved today!!!”
Xing Yajun jumped up and down with excitement and almost knocked over the table.
"Okay, please be quiet." Ma Xiaoyao glared at Xing Yajun angrily: "Isn't it just more than three hundred thousand taels of silver? Is it worth being so excited?"
"It's not about the money...it's...it's because I hit those opponents hard today, so I'm in a good mood."
Extremely, now I’m better, I can finally let out a strong breath of bad breath.”
"I'm hungry, can you get me something to eat?"
"I have already ordered my servants to do it. Just wait a moment and it will be ready soon."
"We should split the money we made today half and half, right?"
"I'll leave it for you first. When the stone betting competition is over, we can calculate the general ledger. How about that?"
"Okay." Ma Xiaoyao nodded indifferently: "It's okay to leave it at your place, but listen carefully, if you dare to play tricks on me, I will definitely not let you go."
"Don't worry, I will never cheat on you."
How dare you offend the God of Wealth."
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "As long as you understand this truth, as long as I am willing to help you, you will definitely make a lot of money."
"That's it, that's it." Xing Yajun nodded repeatedly: "I am really lucky to have met you for eight lifetimes. I must make a big profit in this stone gambling competition! My ideal is to become the first in the Liang Kingdom.
