Chapter 197 The horses by the Ying River do not eat grass, but eat fish
Chapter 197: Horses by the Ying River eat fish instead of grass
In Xudu City, thirty miles outside the city, there is a villa.
Cao Cao is still playing the trick of substituting flowers and substituting flowers with others, and transforming them into living beings...
There is a wine shop here.
Yi Xiaotian was really "drunk", and he was also convinced... He didn't expect that Guo Jia was a very persistent person, and he would not give up until he recovered 10% of his bet.
Already.
Ever since, Guo Jia was pestering Yi Xiaotian and wanted to make a bet with Yi Xiaotian, and the fight would last for a whole day...
The bet is not fixed. From now on, within twelve hours, the two parties will continue to bet to see who wins more...
The loser will be willing to work as a follower for the winner for three years.
To be honest, Yi Xiaotian doesn’t want to gamble…
After all, the opponent is Guo Jia, who is known to have all the plans, so the possibility of overturning is very high.
Finally, Yi Xiaotian accepted the bet under the cheers of countless guests who were watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
Alas, there is nothing I can do. If I don’t continue, I will look a little timid.
After all, he had received higher education before time travel... As for betting, this is just a matter of IQ and probability. Yi Xiaotian still has some confidence.
This is not…
The first bet has already appeared.
…
In a wine shop.
I don’t know if it’s because people in ancient times lacked entertainment methods, or because of some other reason.
I heard that Yi Xiaotian, the shopkeeper of Youjian Villa, had a "master-servant" bet with Yingchuan talent Guo Jia.
The entire wine shop was overcrowded, and everyone wanted to watch the excitement without taking it too seriously. They sat in the wine shop and talked while drinking. Many people even started gambling and set up bets on who of the two would win.
Zhen Yao, Zhen Luo, and Man Chong were also among them. In addition to paying attention to the gambling game, Zhen Luo was more concerned about what strange tricks this very special gentleman would do.
"Brother Guo, please..."
Yi Xiaotian was not stingy and immediately invited Guo Jia to the wine shop for a drink...
But unfortunately, the restaurant's lobby was already full and there were no tables left.
"It's full... Let's see, brother Guo, I have a private room upstairs, how about we go inside and have a drink while completing the bet?" Yi Xiaotian said a compromise.
Guo Jia shook his head, turned around, and whispered back. "Shop Manager Yi, all these guys are here because of you and me. If we gamble behind closed doors, wouldn't it be a disappointment to everyone?"
Let's see...it just so happened that I thought of the first bet."
"I would like to hear the details!" Yi Xiaotian spread his hands, as if he would not refuse anyone who came.
"I just fell in love with the table in the middle of the restaurant. If Shopkeeper Yi can find a way to get the guests at that table to give up their seats to us, would Shopkeeper Yi win the first bet? How about that?" Guo Jia immediately asked a question...
Um...this...
Yi Xiaotian thought for a moment, then raised his head and glanced at the table Guo Jia mentioned. It looked like he was not a regular customer...
The guest's face was a little cold and serious. He should be a knight who came to buy a horse. This kind of person is the worst to talk to, let alone with so many people watching? How can you ask someone to give up their seat for no reason?
Yi Xiaotian narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.
The conversation between him and Guo Jia was very quiet. Even though everyone's eyes were focused on it, they still couldn't hear clearly what their bet was.
"Yes..."
Yi Xiaotian thought for a moment and murmured something in his heart.
Speaking of which, he actually found several corresponding gambling games in ancient books and documents. Ordinary people gamble based on probability, while smart people gamble... What they are often best at is - misdirecting sight...
"If Brother Yi doesn't dare to accept this bet? Then even if I win this first bet." Seeing that Yi Xiaotian was still thinking... Guo Jia simply smiled and said.
He was very accurate at reading people, and with a cursory glance, he discovered that the guests at that table were the least talkative. When dealing with such people, he often hides as far away as possible and asks them to give up their seats. Isn't this nonsense?
"Hahaha…"
But at this moment, Yi Xiaotian burst into laughter, and then he called to Cai Zhaoji who was standing in front of the counter.
"Zhaoji, are there any live fish in our restaurant today?"
"Sir, yes, there are some big carps from the Yellow River that were just delivered, and they are still alive and kicking..." Cai Zhaoji asked with a smile. "Sir, do you want to treat Mr. Guo to some fish?"
"Then go get three big carp from the Yellow River first...the one that jumps the most happily should go now." Yi Xiaotian directly ordered.
ah…
Cai Zhaoji was slightly startled. She raised her delicate hands and clasped her forehead. "Sir, the fish must be cooked before you can bring it up. Besides, the big carp from the Yellow River this time are particularly big. There are three of them. Mr. and Mr. Guo will definitely eat them."
No less!”
"Who said Brother Guo and I ate it?" Yi Xiaotian asked, then raised his hand. "Don't ask so many questions, just bring it up quickly."
this…
Cai Zhaoji hesitated for a moment. Of course she couldn't defeat this gentleman. She could only shake her head and ordered the chef of the restaurant. "Quickly, bring three big carp from the Yellow River to the gentleman."
Uh...big carp from the Yellow River?
What is this for?
Guo Jia was confused after hearing this...
Not only Guo Jia, but also all the guests in the restaurant were confused. Everyone turned their heads to Yi Xiaotian, thinking one by one, Master Yi didn't want stewed fish, but live fish? Is this what he wanted?
What for? Do you want to bake it and eat it...
…
There is a wine shop and a table in the corner.
"Sister Zhen Luo, Brother Yi, what kind of medicine is this sold in the gourd?"
Zhen Yao scratched his head with confusion on his face...
Because Yi Xiaotian helped him get the horse back, now he also directly calls him Brother Yi. Yi Xiaotian and the Zhen family seem to be much closer.
Zhen Yao smacked his lips and continued.
"It stands to reason that even if Brother Yi reluctantly accepted the bet with Guo Jia...but he can't commit the crime of burying someone alive, right? Isn't this a bit of a loss?"
"Brother, just watch out. This gentleman does things unexpectedly. If you could guess what he did, it would be strange." Zhen Luo's big eyes stared at Yi Xiaotian all the time.
She didn't know whether she was interested in Yi Xiaotian's behavior of asking for live fish, or whether she had a strong interest in Yi Xiaotian.
The skill of speaking...
"Pah, pah..."
Fresh large carps from the Yellow River were delivered one by one. They were really big and fat, and looked very delicious when cooked.
"Sir, the fish is here!" Cai Zhaoji said...
"Very good, now send someone to take down Brother Guo's horses and feed them..." Yi Xiaotian waved his hand coolly... "Brother Guo and his servants brought three horses today, and they are all hungry. Now feed each horse."
A fish, remember."
ah…
Cai Zhaoji was confused. "Sir, horses eat grass, not fish!"
"You don't know something about this." Yi Xiaotian turned his head and explained carefully. "Brother Guo is a talented man from Yingchuan. Brother Guo's home is located on the bank of the Ying River, and these horses also grew up on the bank of the river.
Big ones, they only eat live fish…”
As he spoke, Yi Xiaotian waved his hand. "If you don't believe it, you will know if you go and feed it."
Horses eat fish? How fresh!
Cai Zhaoji was confused at first, but soon she smiled... She is a talented woman in the world, her mind works very quickly, and she seemed to understand her husband's intention at once.
I should cooperate with my husband in his performance, so I can't turn a blind eye.
Cai Zhaoji nodded immediately. "Okay, okay, okay, such an interesting horse, I will feed it myself, feed it myself..."
As she spoke, Cai Zhaoji walked out with a lot of steps and a few wine shop waiters.
Who would have thought that as soon as she left, the whole wine shop immediately became excited!
"Horse eats fish, go and see..."
"Are the horses that grew up by the Ying River so different?"
"It's fresh, it's really fresh... I'm sure it's going to be an eye-opener today."
The guests of the wine shop followed him out one after another. Everyone was curious about how horses eat fish.
"Sister Zhen Luo, let's go take a look too..." Zhen Yao scratched his head. He felt very magical. What happened along the way was very magical, but now he encountered something even more magical.
"Let's go, brother, let's follow quickly and take a look." Zhen Luo blinked her eyes...and followed the others and walked out.
call out…
In the end, the guests at the table in the middle of the restaurant also picked up their bags and followed them out.
Until then, Guo Jia suddenly realized that he seemed to have fallen into a trap.
No... to be precise, it's not that I fell into the trap, but that... I was misled.
Where can a horse eat a fish? This is just Yi Xiaotian's misdirection. His purpose is to get everyone out of the wine shop, so that the table in the middle of the wine shop will be freed up.
Huo...what a good strategy...an irresistible strategy!
Guo Jia lost this bet again!
Just when Guo Jia thought of this, Yi Xiaotian had already walked to the table.
"Brother Guo, this table is empty now. We can have a drink here."
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian's eyes blinked. "But, Brother Guo seems to have lost his first bet... This is not a good start!"
Huo…
Nowadays, Guo Jia is convinced by Yi Xiaotian.
Guo Jia has a good plan, and his lover Yi Xiaotian has a ladder...
The owner of this villa is really unique.
"Lost, lost..." Guo Jia bowed his hands. He was not someone who couldn't afford to lose. What's more, today... the bet has just begun, and the bet will last for another day. "Brother Yi is indeed a loser.
Terrible, respectable opponent!"
…
"Brother Yi... the horses that grew up by the Ying River don't eat fish either!"
At this moment, all the guests retreated back one after another. Zhen Yao, who was in the lead, scratched his head and bowed, shouting.
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Yi Xiaotian laughed loudly, "Well, you have to ask Brother Guo. He knows best whether his horse eats fish or not!"
this…
Guo Jia wanted to cry, facing the eyes of everyone looking for the truth.
He could only helplessly spread his hands and told everyone about his first bet. This time, he lost completely.
