My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 37

[Chapter 37 Whoever beats him, I will pay a penny]

“Uncle, as far as I know, the only people who own Midsummer Liangbing are the royal family, right? Then how does Jingzhou make ice wine?”

asked the old bustard.

“Oh?”

The ugly fat man glanced at her, “Are you doubting me?”

“Don’t dare! I’m just curious!”

The madam waved her hand quickly.

“Hmph! I’m sorry you don’t dare!”

The ugly fat man said: “Only the royal family has midsummer cold ice? This is the old imperial calendar! Nowadays, the wealthier families in Jingzhou will build their own ice cellars to store ice in winter and take it out in summer. What’s so strange about it? Not to mention those restaurants and Goulan!”

Everyone listened and looked forward to it.

When the ugly fat man saw this, he sneered and took out all his sense of superiority.

“But it’s understandable that there is no ice in Chun Shui Tower. After all, in a small place like Yongzhou, even if there is ice, no one can afford it!”

“…”

Everyone was silent, their faces extremely ugly. .

Although everyone is accustomed to the contempt of people from Jingzhou, it is inevitable to feel uncomfortable when being slapped in front of someone like this.

Especially when someone else’s rebuke really leaves them speechless.

“May I ask this gentleman, what is the price of ice in Jingzhou?”

The old bustard seemed to have thought of something, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes as he asked.

“Is there anyone who sells ice?”

The ugly fat man said scornfully: “What we sell is ice wine. Why buy ice alone?”

“Then what is the price of ice wine?”

“Haha, listen up, don’t scare you!”

The ugly fat man glanced at the audience and said proudly: “Our ice wine is only sold by the bowl, and a bowl costs five hundred cents!”

“His! Five hundred cents?”

“A jar of wine is only a hundred cents, and they dare to buy a bowl of wine. “Selling it for five hundred cents?”

“But it’s understandable, after all, it’s the ice that’s more expensive, not the wine.”

“Yes, this midsummer cold ice was unique to the royal family. If we can enjoy the royal treatment, let alone a few hundred cents.” What does one tael of silver mean? “

Most of the people who come to Chunshui Tower are young men who are not short of money, and their talk (bragging) is naturally much tougher than the common people.

The madam next to him heard this and secretly plotted.

She knows better than anyone whether there is midsummer ice in Yongzhou City!

Yesterday Mr. A Kun asked her to sell ice. One tael of silver for a can of ice was too expensive for her and she rejected it. But now that she thinks about it, compared with the price of ice wine, his ice is really not expensive!

Such a big can of ice can freeze five or six bowls of wine at least. By doing this again and again, a few taels of silver will come out, which is much more than what girls can earn by selling meat and art!

Judging from the reactions of the scholars in the building, it seems that they don’t know about Mr. A Kun’s ice. It seems that she has to find Mr. A Kun quickly during the day and buy the ice. In the future, more and more guests will come here for this ice wine. The market is huge!

…

While the Madam was making her computations, a somewhat familiar voice came from behind her.

“What about people from Jingzhou? What we have in Jingzhou, we naturally have in Yongzhou! And what we don’t have in Jingzhou, we also have in Yongzhou!”

The old bustard looked behind him, and the person who spoke turned out to be the pink young man from the night before yesterday. came out of the crowd.

“We have Master Akun in Yongzhou who can write about spring water and blue sky. Do you have one in Jingzhou?”

Chen Mo, the pink young master, raised his chin and asked arrogantly.

He tried hard not to focus his eyes on the ugly fat man, for fear of not being able to stop laughing.

Especially the ugly fat man’s poor Jingzhou dialect made her, a Jingzhou native, so disgusted that she, for the first time, felt like she didn’t want to be a Jingzhou native.

The ugly fat man was naturally the fat ball put on by Jing Zhe. Seeing Chen Mo speak out, he knew that the main event was coming. His whole body tensed up and he got into the action in a second.

“Haha, what about ice wine? We have midsummer cold ice in Jingzhou, do you have it in Yongzhou? How can a bunch of country bumpkins compare with our authentic old Jingzhou children?”

Chen Mo resisted the urge to vomit and retorted: “Who? “You said we don’t have midsummer cold ice in Yongzhou?”

“That’s what she said!”

The old bustard, who was pointed at by Fat Ball, thought to himself, does this pink young man also know that Mr. A Kun has ice?

They seem to know each other, it’s really possible!

“Young Master, can you please take a step to speak?”

The old bustard wanted to stop this pink young master from speaking out. If everyone knew that Mr. A Kun had ice, she would be passive next!

But Chen Mo didn’t bother to talk to her at all, and didn’t even bother to look at her, and said directly: “She is in this building every day, what do you know? We not only have midsummer cold ice in Yongzhou, but also mung bean popsicles! And our ice is too A mung bean popsicle doesn’t even cost five hundred cents, a hundred cents is enough!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the scholars in the building began to whisper.

“We really have cool ice in midsummer in Yongzhou?”

“I haven’t heard of it!”

“Is it possible that this young master didn’t want to see him humiliate my peers in Yongzhou, so he said it on purpose?”

“It must be so!”

The voice was not loud, but the ugly fat man heard it and sneered: “Haha, it turns out it was a lie!”

“You don’t believe it?”

“Don’t believe it!”

The ugly fat man said disdainfully: “Ugly Yongzhou people, not only are they poor, but they also dare not face reality. What’s the use of lying and nonsense? Do you think others are fools like you?”

“…”

This time, even the ugly fat man’s friends have a very low sense of existence. The ugly fat man could not sit still: “Fat brother, I am also from Yongzhou. Stop talking and give me face!”

“Ah! Give you face?”

The ugly fat man spat, “Why don’t you remind me? I have forgotten that you are also from Yongzhou. From now on, you are no longer my friend! The noble old Jingzhou people don’t need Yongzhou people as friends!”

“…”

Everyone was shocked and broke off the friendship on the spot. No one can do this!

“This guy… I really want to beat him!”

“I think so too?”

“Who’s going to beat him, I’ll pay you a penny?”

“A penny? You have the nerve to say that?”

“A penny is a lot to beat such an ugly person. “

Eh

… it seems like this…”

Seeing everyone’s eagerness to try, Chen Mo felt dizzy and knew that the show should end early, otherwise he was afraid that Fatty Ball would be hammered.

I don’t know whether this guy’s acting skills are amazing or it’s just his nature. He’s really too much to beat and has already aroused public outrage!

“Okay, don’t you believe it? I’m going to send someone to get the mung bean popsicles from my friend right now. Let’s see if you believe it or not!”

Chen Mo’s words did a good job of diverting everyone’s attention, but he didn’t mention playing fat ball again.

“Go! I want to see if you can conjure up some mung bean popsicles!”

The ugly fat man held his head high and looked dissatisfied.
