Sitting by the window on the third floor of the restaurant, the middle-aged man casually ordered more than a dozen dishes, each of which was more than five taels of silver, and these dozen or so items were almost the food of an ordinary family of five for a year, and the look on the old man's face became more and more respectful.

The little servant served fragrant green tea, and the middle-aged man rinsed his mouth, leaned back on the chair, and leisurely introduced the dishes of this restaurant to Old Man Song.

Where has Old Man Song ever been to such a high-end place, he only nodded again and again, and said in his mouth: "How can you eat so much, how can you eat so much, how can you be embarrassed to let Yan Ye you spend too much money......

The middle-aged man smiled: "How dare I come to this kind of place before, you look at me now, I am used to eating things here, and things from other places can't enter the mouth, hey, people are sometimes used to waving Zhai, and they never want to go back to the time when they used to live poorly, life is a big gamble, the winner is in the limelight, respected, the loser can only feel sorry for himself, suffer ridicule and ridicule, when I used to be down, even my own sister-in-law looked down on myself, swept me out of the house, tasted all the hardships of the world, Seeing through the hot and cold state of the world, I did not hesitate to gamble my life and gamble my life, thanks to God's favor, so that I have today's achievements. ”

Old man Song flattered and said: "Yan Ye is arrogant, at first glance, he is a person who dares to act and can achieve great things, I wonder if Yan Ye can also take me to see the gambling game you are talking about?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "I see people very accurately, see that you have good luck recently, if you are unlucky, I don't bother to make friends, if you can participate in this gambling game, it is not impossible to multiply the gambling book several times in one night, this is how I came back then, but the world is unpredictable, after entering this gambling game, there are many people who are bankrupt, you have to think about it carefully." ”

"I've thought about it clearly, the opportunity is fleeting, it's rare to have a noble person to carry me, I'm already at this age, if I miss the opportunity, I'm afraid I'll go into the coffin with regrets."

"Since Brother Song, you have decided, I recommend you to enter the venue is just a gesture, but there are also conditions for this entry, and the minimum bet for those who enter must not be less than one thousand taels.

The old man Song, who was originally excited, looked embarrassed when he heard this: "This thousand taels of silver is really difficult to make up." ”

"Then there is no way, the minimum requirement for admission is one thousand taels."

Old man Song poured a glass of wine for the middle-aged man very diligently, and said: "Yan Ye is a figure with a head and a face, I am tired of trying to find a way, although I don't have a thousand taels now, but if I use my luck in the past few days, it won't take a few days, and it is not a problem to make up enough for a thousand taels, if I win the silver, I will definitely not forget the benefits of Brother Yan." ”

The middle-aged man shook his head: "This can't be helped, the application for admission to this gambling game will be closed tomorrow, after this time I want to apply for admission again, even if you bring 10,000 taels of silver, I won't let you in, although you have been lucky these days, you have won some silver, barely a lucky star, but I don't know how long this luck can last, if you lose, with your current situation, you are really going bankrupt, and it is strange that you don't hate me to death when the time comes." ”

"I don't hate or hate, as long as Yan Ye can take me in, I am responsible for winning or losing, even if I lose it all, I won't blame the little brother for a little."

The middle-aged man hesitated for a long time and said, "You are so confident, maybe you can really kill the Quartet, how much cash can you take out now?" ”

Old man Song lowered his head and calculated, raised his head and said, "About three hundred taels." ”

"It's only three hundred taels, it's too little, I really can't help you."

"Don't, don't, Master Yan, this is really all my property, even the coffin buried in the yard is counted to barely make up this number, if I can make up a thousand taels, I can't beg you like this, don't you, you can think of a way, think of a way, please."

The middle-aged man looked sad, lowered his head and thought about it, and then raised his head for a while and said: "That's it, I'll do good things to the end, if you have anything valuable at home, I'll be a middleman for you, mortgage it to the bank, and borrow another seven hundred taels." ”

Old Man Song was silent, then gritted his teeth and said, "I have a tofu stall, I don't know how much silver I can mortgage?" ”

"Tofu stand?" The middle-aged man laughed silently, "Brother Song, you're kidding, ten tofu stalls can't be worth seven hundred taels." ”

"My tofu stall is not an ordinary tofu stall, the business is very good, and I can earn three or four taels of silver a day."

"Who are you fooling, can you make so much money selling tofu?"

Old man Song said with a smile: "Yan Ye, you don't know, my tofu stall is different from other people's tofu stalls, it is my daughter-in-law who grinds soy milk, the craftsmanship of the tofu family, since she was a child, she has been a well-known tofu Shih Tzu, most of the people who buy tofu come to my daughter-in-law, other people's tofu is too expensive to sell for a copper coin, my daughter-in-law's tofu sells for five copper coins and has to queue up to buy it, you have time to go to my tofu stall to see, it is overcrowded, all of them are rich sons and brothers." ”

"Oh? Hearing you say this, your daughter-in-law is a stunning beauty in the world. ”

Old man Song said proudly: "It's not that I'm boasting, even if it's the flower fairy of Baihualou, it may not be able to match the appearance of my daughter-in-law, but it's a pity that I am in conflict with my eight characters, fate is Kefu, fate is destined to have no children, if she could not help me earn some pocket money, I would have divorced her for my short-lived unfilial son." ”

The middle-aged man clapped his hands: "So I have an idea, it depends on whether you are reluctant or not, if you are willing, let alone a thousand taels, even if it is two thousand taels, it is not difficult to get together a thousand taels." ”

"Tell me about it."

The middle-aged man leaned into Old Man Song's ear and whispered a few words.

Old man Song showed hesitation on his face: "This ......"

"If you feel that you are not sure of winning, I also advise Brother Song that you should not do this kind of thing, or take advantage of the early stop, you must know that nine out of ten bets are lost, no matter how good your luck is, it is inevitable that there will be times when you turn unlucky, or do your small business honestly, so as not to lose all your money."

Old man Song was already heartbroken at this time, and raised his head and asked, "This deed of sale will not be sold to others before it expires, right?" ”

"You can rest assured, as long as you redeem this deed of sale when it expires and pay some interest, your daughter-in-law is still your cash cow, but her deed of sale has just gone through the bank."

Old man Song gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and slapped the table: "Okay!" If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, and I will let it go! ”

…… Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye. The river breeze was blowing, and a man who looked like a beggar walked leisurely on the embankment by the Luo River. It was Zhen Ming, who had disappeared for ten days after leaving Luoyang with the ore truck of Yu Chi's blacksmith shop.
