Chapter 29

Uncle Shi coughed lightly and bowed to Zhou Dalang. Just as he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly stared at the big rooster in Zhou Shilang's arms.

His eyes shining and he pounced on him, touching the slick feathers of the big cock, and asked as if he saw his lover, "Is this what you are talking about the big cock?"

The Zhou family members were frightened by Mr. Shi, and even Zhou Dalang didn't say anything for a moment.

But Man Bao was not stunned. She rushed up with Uncle Shi, stood beside her fourth brother, and reached out to touch the feathers of the big rooster, and asked proudly, "How about it, my big rooster is OK?"

"Okay, okay!" Zhou Dalang touched and asked, "How much do you sell?"

Man Bao was stunned and scratched her head. She had never thought about this because she thought they like big roosters so much that they should be able to sell them for a good price.

The most important thing is that he found a big, beautiful rooster for him, so he was willing to sell the hairless rooster to her cheaper.

Manbao couldn't help but glance at the rooster with hair falling.

Uncle Shi followed her gaze and the child's thoughts were almost written on his face. Uncle Shi laughed and asked, "Do you want me, a rooster?"

Manbao nodded.

"What are you going to do?"

"Stew the soup," Manbao looked at Mr. Shi with his little head tilted, "It's a big rooster, my mother wants to eat the rooster."

"This chicken can only be used for stewing soup, but..." Mr. Shi said in confusion: "Don't you raise a rooster in your family?"

"You have to eat it every day. This big rooster is more expensive than yours. If you buy it, you can buy a second one."

Uncle Shi couldn't help but be happy, "No, not bad, smart enough, okay, I bought this big cock."

Uncle Shi almost couldn't wait to hold the chicken from Zhou Silang's arms, touched it, and put it on the ground and drove it for two steps. Seeing that it was energetic and strong, he became more and more satisfied.

He touched it in his arms, took out a piece of silver, threw it to Manbao and said, "Here, I bought this chicken, and that rooster will give it to you."

Manbao looked at the silver and asked, "How heavy is this?"

Uncle Shi felt a little guilty, but his face was strong and calm, and said proudly: "Why do you have three or five cents? You will know when you go back and you will get it by yourself."

Manbao felt that silver was not reliable and asked, "Do you have no copper coins?"

"Who is going out to gamble and bring a bunch of copper coins? Isn't it heavy?" Mr. Shi said: "Do you want it? If you don't want it, I won't buy it."

Before Manbao could speak, Zhou Wulang quickly said that he wanted it. Even Zhou Dalang couldn't help but say Manbao, "It should be three coins, which is enough."

He knew that this chicken cost 65 cents, three cents of silver, and it would cost 300 cents of copper.

Zhou Dalang glanced at the extremely miserable rooster on the ground, not to mention that he gave him a rooster for free.

Although it is not good-looking, it does not affect eating.

When Man Bao heard that his elder brother had confirmed, he was very happy. He grabbed the silver block and made a deal with Mr. Shi, and said, "Next time I have a good rooster and I will look for you."

"You have to be able to fight, otherwise you can be as beautiful and strong as this one."

The person who witnessed their transaction secretly followed the Zhou family last time. After leaving the market, he left Mr. Shi's sight, and immediately stepped forward and said, "You are so stupid. That big rooster can be worth at least five taels of silver. You only have a few dollars to sell to Shi Dalang. This is a loss. Let's go back and ask for a bargaining price."

The three brothers led by Zhou Dalang were shocked, "One, a rooster is worth so much money?"

"This is not an ordinary rooster, it is a chicken that can make money. Shi Dalang gambles, do you know how much it costs? At least twenty taels, if this rooster wins, he can get so much in one hand!"

The other party compared a gesture, and everyone was shocked. Only Man Bao looked at them with his little head tilted his head and looked at them with contempt, "How stupid, what if he lost?"

The Zhou family's boiling blood suddenly became cold. Yes, what if they lost?

Since the fourth brother lost money in gambling, Manbao has heard from Keke many tragic stories about the wise races from ancient times and the future, and the destruction of their families and their own lives due to gambling.

Koko once said that gambling is always about 10 bets, and the only one who wins may not be ability and luck. Didn’t you hear Mr. Shi just said?

There are many fakes in the casino, and people outside may not not know, they just dare not say it out loud. Why?

I'm afraid of being beaten or killed.

So Manbao summarized it himself and whoever is better wins.

If her fourth brother is invincible in the world, will anyone dare to win his money?

"But that rooster is worth five taels of silver!" Zhou Wulang was still a little unwilling.

"Fifth brother, that chicken was only worth 65 cents. Now we have made more money, but we have also lost a big rooster." Manbao has his own reason. She said with her little finger: "If the uncle who sells big roosters knows this, will he be angry to death? If Mr. Shi uses this rooster to gamble, but he loses, he not only loses the money, but also loses the money he bought with us in vain."

Zhou Wulang thought about it, and he felt a lot more titanic in his heart.

Zhou Dalang also said, "Satisfied and happy. You see, you are so big, and you haven't even understood Manbao."

"Brother, don't you say anything to me. Didn't you regret it just now?" Zhou Wulang was not convinced, but couldn't help looking at his youngest sister with admiration. "Manbao, you are so smart. My parents used to say that you are smarter than us, but I don't believe it. Now it seems that you are really smart."

Man Bao nodded proudly and smiled without any modesty at all: "It's average, mainly because my friends can teach me, and I can learn quickly."

"What kind of friend? Isn't it Mr. Zhuang?" Zhou Wulang said: "You are now a teacher by Mr. Zhuang. You can't call friends all day long, you have to call them teacher."

He also said: "Actually, I think you are smarter than us, we can't blame us for being stupid, mainly because your parents are smarter..."

"Wulang, what are you talking nonsense?" Zhou Dalang slapped his head. Zhou Wulang realized that he was bald and hurriedly covered his mouth and giggled, looking at Manbao nervously.

But Man Bao comforted Zhou Dalang, "Brother, don't be angry, fifth brother is just stupid. You are smarter than him, like dad."

Then Manbaote said proudly: "I am like my mother. I am a little smarter than my father. No one is like the fifth brother. I don't know if it was picked up from the street. Oh, my mother is worried. I say every night before going to bed. I don't know if Xiao Wu can talk about his wife in the future."

Zhou Dalang and Zhou Liulang:...

Zhou Wulang became so sad and angry, "I'm not stupid? I'm honest, like my father, do you know?"

Man Bao shook his head, "I can't tell you how much you look like your father. If you don't believe me, go home and ask your father, look at him and tell him if you look like him."
