Chapter five hundred and eighteenth everyone has something
Chapter 518: Something everyone has
Chai Yan poured a bowl of wine for Yuan, then stood up and said: "Madam, wait a moment, I will go get some food to go with the wine..."
"Dishes to go with the wine?" Yang Chengyi said in surprise: "Mr. Chai, did you bring some dishes to go with the wine?"
Chai Yan didn't answer, just smiled lightly and returned to the room.
Soon, Chai Yan came back. He brought back a paper bag and placed it in front of Yuanyuan. Inside was some dried bacon and fried rice dumplings. The aroma and color were very attractive.
Yuan Yuan said in surprise: "How come I didn't know you brought these?"
These dried bacon and crispy rice balls are all stored in the storage space for eating on the road. Not only these, Chai Yan also stored other things, so that even if he lives in the wild for ten days and a half, he will not have to worry about food.
"I hid it privately while you weren't paying attention, hehe..." Chai Yan grinned.
Yuan Yuan thought that Chai Yan had hidden these secretly when he was at Xingyangang Restaurant, so he didn't ask further when he saw outsiders were present.
Then, Yuan started to eat, taking a mouthful of dried meat and a mouthful of water and wine, looking very happy.
This also made Yang Chengyi greedy. He secretly looked at the dried meat and crispy rice dumplings in front of Yuyuan several times, secretly swallowing his saliva.
None of these details escaped Chai Yan's eyes, but he pretended not to notice and continued to eat and drink with Yuyuan.
As for Yang Chengyi's previous behavior of devouring food and asking the store to buy wine, Chai Yan no longer had the intention to invite him to enjoy the food together.
The dried meat and crispy rice dumplings were taken based on the portions, which were almost enough for myself and Yuan Yuan.
Seeing people eating delicious food, Yang Chengyi felt uncomfortable, so he said shamelessly: "Mr. Chai, during this long cold night... can you please take a sip to warm yourself up?"
Chai Yan thought that there was still a big jar of wine anyway, so he nodded in agreement.
Yang Chengyi immediately became happy and went to get a bowl to pour wine.
Unexpectedly, Yuyuan put down the dried meat in his hand and said: "Wait a minute!"
Yang Chengyi was stunned and looked at Yuyuan with a puzzled expression.
Yuan was disgusted with people like Yang Chengyi, so he deliberately tried to make things worse: "Master Yang, it's okay to drink, but you can't drink for free..."
Yang Chengyi heard that Mrs. Chai was trying to make things difficult for him, and immediately felt a little unhappy, but he still politely said: "How to drink, Mrs. Chai please tell me clearly!"
Chai Yan didn't say anything. It's quite rare to see Yuan like this. It's interesting...
Yuan Yuan glanced at Chai Yan first, and felt relieved when he saw that he looked like he was watching a show. Then he said: "Master Yang, why don't I give you a riddle to guess. If you can guess it, you can drink. If you can't guess it, you can drink."
, then I’m sorry..."
Riddle?
Yang Chengyi thought that Mrs. Chai was trying to make it difficult for him to write a poem or something, but when he heard that it was just a children's game like guessing riddles, the pressure in his heart suddenly disappeared.
Yang Chengyi cupped his hands and smiled, and said happily: "Okay! Then ask Mrs. Chai to tell the mystery..."
Chai Yan also became interested and said: "Madam, tell me the riddle quickly. I want to see if I can guess it!"
Yuanyuan said: "When I was with Qiaoer on weekdays, she once told an interesting riddle, which I can use right now..."
After saying that, Yuan Yuan became quiet, apparently recalling the content of the riddle.
It was during this interval that the old man from the store was sitting aside with a drink. He seemed to be very interested in knowing what the riddle was.
The owl loudly said: "Young master Yang heard the riddle clearly, it is not born in the sky, it is not raised in the earth, you don't see it when you eat it, you don't eat it when you see it..."
"The sky will not give birth to it, and the earth will not support it..."
"...Eat it without seeing it, see it without eating it."
After Yang Chengyi listened, he thought and repeated it.
At the same time, Chai Yan and the old man from the store were also thinking about this riddle inside the house. Everyone became quiet, and the sound of rain outside suddenly became louder.
Yang Chengyi thought for a while and had no idea, so he asked: "Mrs. Chai, you haven't said what you guessed yet?"
Yuan Yuan calmly replied: "Guessing is something that everyone has."
"Everyone has one?" Yang Chengyi tilted his head again and fell into thinking.
Shangguan Peining was also attracted by this interesting riddle from the Yuan. She thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so she couldn't wait to ask Chai Yan: "Hey, what is it? What can you eat without seeing it?
Don’t eat it?”
"Don't worry, I'm thinking about it too." Chai Yan was still thinking hard.
Yuanyuan saw Chai Yan's expression and whispered, "Why, Qiao'er didn't tell you this riddle?"
Chai Yan shook his head and smiled: "If I had told you, would I still have to think so hard?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man in the store spoke: "This riddle is quite clever, but it won't trouble the old man!"
Chai Yan was quite surprised: "Did the store guess what it was?"
The old man in the store took a sip of wine, looked at Yang Chengyi and said, "Don't worry, the old man won't say anything nonsense until someone guesses it!"
Yuan Yuan smiled slightly and nodded towards the store owner.
Yang Chengyi couldn't sit still. Could it be that his mind was not as flexible as that of a country man, and that children's games would stump him?
It's okay, Mr. Chai hasn't figured it out yet, and I'm not the only one...
"Haha, yes! I guessed what it was!" Chai Yan suddenly shouted, his face filled with excitement.
Yang Chengyi suddenly became panicked: "Have you guessed it too?"
Chai Yan smiled and nodded, but like the old man in the store, he had no intention of telling the answer to the riddle.
Drinking and eating is not a big deal, but being embarrassed is not!
Now Yang Chengyi was the only one who had not guessed, so he became more and more anxious. He quickly frowned and thought hard, repeating the riddle in his mouth...
About a quarter of an hour later, Yang Chengyi still couldn't guess it. During this period, he also gave a few answers, but none of them were correct.
The old man sitting next to the store suddenly said in a cold voice: "You can't guess such a simple riddle, how dare you ask for a drink?"
Yang Chengyi couldn't stand the ridicule of an old man from the country. He immediately said loudly: "Tell me, what is the answer to the riddle? I don't believe you can really guess it!"
The old man in the store blurted out: "Saliva!"
"Saliva?" Yang Chengyi was stunned and said without thinking, "How could it be saliva?"
The old man in the store raised his voice and said: "Why not? Everyone has saliva. God didn't give birth to it, and the earth didn't support it. When you swallow the saliva, you can't see it. When you see the saliva, you won't eat it. The answer is
What is it if it’s not saliva?”
Shangguan Peining suddenly said: "Chai Yan, although you guessed correctly, you are still one step behind the old man. Isn't it uncomfortable?"
Chai Yan thought to himself: "What's the point of feeling uncomfortable? Everyone is good at different things. Who told you that old people are not as good at guessing riddles as young people?"
Shangguan Peining was startled: "You can figure it out!"
Yang Chengyi was immediately speechless, and at the same time he was annoyed in his heart, why he couldn't even answer such a simple riddle, but let an old man from the country take the lead.
Yuan Yuan praised: "The store is really amazing, I admire you!"
Chai Yan beside him also nodded frequently.
The old man in the store got up and walked to the table and said, "Now that my old man has guessed it, can I drink this wine?"
Chai Yan looked at Yuan Yuan, who immediately nodded. Chai Yan said, "Of course I can drink it."
The old man in the store was very satisfied. He put the small wine jar in his hand on the table, then picked up the big wine jar and poured wine into the small wine jar.
Everyone present understood at a glance that it turned out that the old man had finished drinking his own wine and took this opportunity to earn a jug of wine.
"Thanks!"
The old man in the store refilled the wine, and his mood instantly improved, and he actually said a rare word of thanks.
Yang Chengyi was unwilling to lose to this bad old man. He glanced back at the old man who was drinking happily and begged: "Mrs. Chai, can you come up with another one?"
Yang Chengyi then said: "I accidentally got into trouble just now. It will definitely not happen this time. Please give Mrs. Chai a chance!"
Chai Yan saw that everyone was drinking, but Yang Chengyi couldn't drink, so he said: "Madam, why don't you come up with another one..."
While speaking, Chai Yan had already winked at Yuyuan, indicating that she should lower the difficulty this time.
Yuanyuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll come up with another one!"
After thinking for a while, the owl revealed the riddle: "When you use it, throw it into the river; when you don't use it, bask in the sun... Guess something!"
As soon as the riddle came out, Chai Yan guessed the answer. He felt that this was indeed much easier than the previous question.
"ha!"
At the same time, the old man sitting against the wall also let out a short dry laugh. Anyone could hear it. He had guessed it.
