Knowing that there was a man setting up a gambling stall on the ship, everyone came together with curiosity to watch the excitement...
Under the care of Guan Maochun, the skinny man finished his meal and came to the deck, chatting with everyone while eating.
After some conversation, Guan Maochun learned the name of the skinny man. His name was Wang Pu, a native of Kuiyang. He came to Yaozhou after being introduced by someone. If it weren't for the fact that the wages here were higher than those in his hometown, he would not have left his hometown.
Most of the people sitting on the deck eating were Cangtou. Everyone asked Wang Pu questions about gambling. Wang Pu was also very easy-going and answered almost every question. He kept telling some anecdotes about gambling.
However, I will continue to remind everyone that it is best not to get into the bad habit of gambling, otherwise it will lead to family ruin.
After dinner, the Cangtou people returned to their places under the command of the ship steward.
Soon, the official ship set anchor, slowly left Yaozhou Pier, and continued along the river.
At this time, Guan Maochun took Wang Pu to a cabin on the first floor and said: "Uncle, the accommodation on the ship is full, so I can only force you to make a bunk on the ground and live here."
With that said, Guan Maochun opened the door of the cabin. It turned out that this was a cabin where debris was stored.
Wang Pu hurriedly said: "No aggrievement, no aggrievement...Brother Guan, I am already grateful that Mr. Chai agreed to let me take the boat. As long as I have a place to sleep, I will be very satisfied."
."
Guan Maochun smiled and said: "Uncle, wait a moment, I will help you get some bedding."
"Hey, brother, I have to work with you." Wang Pu was extremely polite.
After Guan Maochun walked away, Wang Pu went into the glove compartment. Seeing that the things in the cabin were in a mess, he started to tidy them up.
When Guan Maochun came back from borrowing a set of bedrolls from the ship's steward, the utility room was already tidied up, but the floor was still quite dirty and needed to be cleaned thoroughly.
So, in the next time, Wang Pu was cleaning the glove compartment seriously. Guan Maochun wanted to help, but Wang Pu decisively refused.
An hour later, Guan Maochun came to the glove compartment. He wanted to see how Wang Pu was cleaning it and whether there was anything missing.
When Wang Pu opened the cabin door, Guan Maochun looked inside and saw that the inside felt completely new. The floor was clean, things were tidy, and everything looked pleasing to the eye.
"It's so neat, uncle." Guan Maochun said in surprise.
Wang Pu smiled and said modestly: "It's just so so, I just did it casually."
Guan Maochun saw small beads of sweat on Wang Pu's forehead and said, "Uncle, take a rest first. I'll take you to drink some tea to quench your thirst."
Wang Pu was actually thirsty for a long time, so he immediately nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Guan."
The two of them came to the kitchen cabin while talking. Guan Maochun poured a large bowl of tea for Wang Pu, and Wang Pu drank it with relish.
After drinking tea, the two went to the deck to take some fresh air.
When he had nothing to do, Guan Maochun asked about the bet where the ball was hidden in the porcelain bowl, and asked Wang Pu if it was true, as Mr. Chai said, that the ball could appear in any bowl he wanted.
Wang Pu smiled sheepishly after hearing the question, shook his head slowly and said, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. It's just a little trick, not worth mentioning."
Guan Maochun was very surprised. He opened his eyes and shouted: "Uncle, is it true? Are you really that powerful?"
Wang Pu waved his hand modestly and said: "How can you call this powerful? Brother Guan, you are more powerful. You can beat several rogues by yourself."
The two of them had just started the business exchange mode when they heard Hang Baiqiu's voice coming from behind: "Really? If you are so powerful, why are you still living in such a miserable state?"
"Sir Hang?" Guan Maochun turned around and asked in surprise.
Wang Pu quickly lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
Hang Baiqiu walked over slowly and said to Wang Pu: "I heard that your skills are amazingly fast. Why don't you let me see it while you have nothing to do?"
Wang Pu hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, sir, you are joking, that's not the case..."
"Why, you look down on me and are unwilling to show your true abilities?" Hang Baiqiu was unhappy.
Wang Pu quickly denied: "No, no, I don't mean that..."
Hang Baiqiu said again: "Then let me see your unique skills, otherwise, I will let you go ashore at the next pier!"
Hang Baiqiu was actually trying to scare Wang Pu. The main purpose was to verify Chai Yan's words and see if Wang Pu was a humble folk master.
"This..." Wang Pu looked at Guan Maochun in embarrassment, hoping that he would beg for mercy for him.
To be honest, Guan Maochun also wanted to see Wang Pu's techniques, so he said: "Uncle, just show your hands to Chief Hang."
Wang Pu knew that he probably couldn't avoid it, so after thinking about it, he agreed: "Okay, I'll show my shame."
"Very good..." Hang Baiqiu said: "It's not convenient here, go to the kitchen cabin!"
After saying that, Hang Baiqiu turned around first and walked to the kitchen cabin.
When the three of them came to the kitchen cabin, they first found an empty table and sat down. Then Hang Baiqiu asked someone in the kitchen cabin to bring three identical empty bowls.
Then, Hang Baiqiu took out a piece of broken silver, put it on the table and asked, "Is it okay to use this instead of the ball?"
Wang Pu shook his head and said: "No, sir!"
"Why?" Hang Baiqiu was puzzled.
Wang Pu explained: "Sir, the bowl is hard, and the silver is also hard. When they are moved, they will make a knocking sound, and it will be worn..."
Hang Baiqiu thought about it and said, "But I don't have anything else on hand!"
"Sir, I have it." After saying this, Wang Pu took out a small black ball from his waist.
Guan Maochun shouted when he saw it: "Isn't this the little black ball from before?"
Wang Pu nodded and said: "Yes, the bowl was broken by those people, so I kept this one."
"show me......."
Hang Baiqiu reached out for the black ball, inspected it carefully and returned it to Wang Pu.
There is nothing unusual about this small black ball except that it is soft and bouncy.
Seeing that there was a good show to watch, the people in the kitchen immediately gathered around, wanting to see Wang Pu's superb skills.
"Are you ready?" Hang Baiqiu asked.
Wang Pu nodded, his expression suddenly became serious, and his previous listless look disappeared instantly.
Wang Pu rolled up his sleeves, then put the three empty bowls upside down on the table one by one, and said: "Sir, I will cover the ball under the bowl in a while, and then quickly change places. When it stops, you just need to
Just guess which bowl it’s under.”
Hang Baiqiu said: "I understand the rules, you can just start!"
After hearing this, Wang Pu opened the empty bowl in the middle, put the black ball in and covered it.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Pu began to quickly exchange the positions of the three bowls, and the speed of his hands immediately made everyone present let out a low cry of surprise.
Hang Baiqiu stared closely at the second bowl that kept changing its position, almost without blinking his eyelids during the whole process.
Soon, Wang Pu suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand to signal to Hang Baiqiu: "Sir, please!"
Hang Baiqiu was very confident. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the bowl on the right and said: "Here!"
At the same time, Hang Baiqiu also thought secretly in his heart: This guy's technique is indeed very fast, but it is still impossible to hide it from my eyes!
Everyone present also agreed with Hang Baiqiu's choice, because they could all see clearly that the bowl that covered the ball ended up on the far right.
Wang Pu didn't waste any time, he reached out and opened the bowl on the right...
The next moment, there was a cry of surprise in the kitchen cabin, because the black ball was not under the bowl at all!
