Chapter Seventeen
Walking on the streets of Sijiu City, no matter the shops next to them, the guy shouted and shouted with three points of strength. Just look at the dim sum masters in the dim sum shop who were so tired that they were straight and straight. When smelling the fragrance of mooncakes brought by Xiao Nanfeng, you can understand that it is almost August fifteenth.
The shopkeepers of the time-honored dim sum shop in Sijiu City are kind-hearted. In addition to the mooncakes ordered by wealthy families early, the dim sum chefs are especially baked into a thick-skin mooncake made of mixed bean noodles. One of them is two big children. Even the poorest families can buy two to go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival. This is also a perfect match for the scenery of the whole person and the moon, looking for a good future for the coming year!
Seeing that Master Na Jiu, who was standing in front of the counter, took out several big sons from his arms, the shopkeeper of the snack shop had a smile on his face, and his hands reached towards the cheapest mooncake, and his mouth was also shouting attentively: "How many mooncakes are you going to?"
He raised his hand to stop Master Na Jiu who was holding several big sons. He wore a short dress and looked towards the mooncake with black and red silk dried fruits behind the counter: "Shopkeeper, please give me eight!"
He was stunned for a moment, and the shopkeeper of the snack shop agreed crisply, took out a piece of red-dyed coarse paper from under the counter, reached out and grabbed the mooncake that Xiang Youbao wanted to buy, but clearly heard the low voice of Master Na Jiu's muttering: "Why are you buying that? It's just a mooncake, just take a look..."
He grinned at Master Na Jiu, Xiang Youbao reached out and took out a banknote from the bag hanging on his shoulder and put it on the counter: "Uncle Master, the Mid-Autumn Festival is only once this year, so we should save money and not be at this moment! Isn't the old saying - go shopping in the kilns and eat bean dregs, save flowers that should be as much as possible!"
He heard the shopkeeper of the dim sum shop laughing out loud. Master Na Jiu couldn't help but stomp his feet, staring at Xiang Youbao with a look of regret, whispering: "Look at your master, what good has you taught you?"
He pointed to the scorpion jar that Master Na Jiu was holding tightly in his arms with a playful look. Xiang Youbao reached out to take the mooncake handed over by the shopkeeper of the snack shop, and smiled at Master Na Jiu with a voice: "We are going to have to test insects in the first half of the moon building and get the signature. The master who holds the Seven Killing Scorpion in his hand has to eat oily mouth and full of energy, right? Besides, the masters behind us, although they are separated by Master Xiong and cannot get in front of us, if you are so stingy and care about it... I'm afraid it's not suitable?"
Using the shiny large mirror behind the dessert shop counter, Master Na Jiu looked at the few helpers who were protruding their heads outside the dessert shop and gritted his teeth: "Forget it... From now on, the autumn insects have finished fighting, and Uncle Master will listen to you in everything! I don't know what is hidden in your head, why are there so many twists and turns of ideas..."
Carrying eight mooncakes, Xiang Youbao turned his head and walked to the door of the dim sum shop. He tore open the chip paper that the shopkeeper had just wrapped in. He generously handed a few mooncakes to the green gangsters waiting at the door of the dim sum shop: "Thank you for your hard work, you have been relying on the brothers to take care of them back and forth. Now, I will take the mooncakes to cushion your belly. After two days, my uncle got the worm king of the Autumn Insect Club. I didn't say anything. Yanlailou, I'll wait for a few big drivers!"
Unceremoniously, he took the mooncake handed over by Xiang Youbao. Two green-skinned gangsters chewed the fragrant mooncakes, while shouting: "Above the way! Master Xiong said, Qiu Chong will take turns to protect you two in the past few days, so we can't make any mistakes!"
He was carefully protected by two green-skinned gangsters. Xiang Youyou and Na Jiuye couldn't walk out of the same street, and he had not even finished the mooncakes in his hand. The green tiles and the three-story half-moon building were clearly visible.
Speaking of the Half Moon Tower, the old and young men walking in the scene in Sijiu City could shake their heads and recite the broken couplet in front of the Half Moon Tower - enjoy the Half Moon Tower in the Half Moon Tower!
From the day the Banyue Tower was built, this incomplete and half-literary couplet was hung openly at the door of Banyue Tower. There are many talented people in the Sijiu City, and there are even more literati and poets as if they were crossing the river. Of course, it is not that no one can meet such a couplet that is not too profound.
But as long as you walk into the Banyue Tower, especially on the fixed and unmovable chairs in the Banyue Tower, no one will have the heart to think about how to meet the couplet - no matter which chair you sit on, you can only see the half-pull moon from the large open window!
Just looking at this scene, this artistic conception has already combined the Bagua, Yin and Yang, Zhou Yi, and some principles and numbers in Laozhuang. I have to complete the couplets in front of the Half Moon Tower, why bother?
Since this building and this scenery can attract people's hearts, most of the people who usually come and go in the Banyue Tower are those who can express their opinions and rely on horses and thousands of words. All kinds of elegant gatherings have filled the Banyue Tower. Ordinary customers want to book a seat in Banyue Tower and hold a elegant gathering, but they may not be able to go there three months earlier.
Seeing the crowd coming and going in front of the Banyue Tower with the scorpion jars, Xiang Youbao couldn't help but sigh with a little surprised tone: "After all, it's in Sijiu City, under the feet of the emperor, this scene... It's not easy to see outside the pass!"
He thrust at the several tables placed horizontally in front of the Banyuelou gate. Master Na Jiu carefully protected the scorpion jar held in his arms, and lowered his voice and replied: "In the past few years, the owner of the banker can almost get a full amount of gold and silver. It is not surprising to rent the second half of the Monthlou to hold this autumn insect meeting! Besides, look at the people who come to test insects and get the signature... Each person has a fortune of one dollar, and the one who has paid for the one-day selection fee in the Half Moonlou has been paid for the money for the one-day selection fee of the Half Moonlou!"
Without listening carefully to the conversation between Master Na Jiu and Xiang Youbao, the two green-skin gangsters sent by Master Xiong opened their arms and bounced into the dense crowd in front of the Banyue Tower without hesitation: "Boil water! Boil water! Be careful to burn it..."
The clothes of the lantern of the Ninth Master of Naruto, looking like a leopard, rushed through the passage from the crowd. He did not care about the obvious anger and suspicion in the eyes of others. He just walked straight to a long desk and shouted to the Wenbi Mr. Wen who was sitting behind the desk: "Jingshui Hutong, bring a fight scorpion!"
He wrote like an enclave in an enclave, recording the words of the leopard shouting in an account book. The Wenbi, wearing a long robe, responded silently without raising his head: "I call him an insect on my son!"
He grabbed Master Na Jiu who was following him, and Xiang Youbao deliberately slowed down and carefully took the scorpion jar made of purple bamboo silk from Master Na Jiu's arms, but then shouted to the crowd watching the fun around the desk: "I'll help you, please borrow a step back, don't be surprised by the treasure in my hand!"
Sneaks came one after another, and suddenly came from the crowd watching the excitement around the desk: "Wow... What a big posture! The people from the Deshengmen Qi family came to test insects just now, but they were not as good as you!"
"You still have a baby? Do you know what a baby is? The scorpion that Debeler had lit up in the morning had a purple back and a spotted tail. The scorpion served with some gold and stone is called a baby!"
"Is it still afraid of people being shocked when fighting scorpions? Go home and raise the kang!"
He glanced at the crowd around the book case carelessly, and Xiang Youbao shouted without hesitation: "What is a treasure? The scorpion that can take down the scorpion of the insect king, are you talking about it? It's not that I'm talking big in front of you, the scorpion that can beat the scorpion in my hand this year at the autumn insect meeting, I'm afraid it's still lying on its mother's back!"
As he finished speaking, Xiang Youbao gently uncovered the bamboo lid on the scorpion jar, carefully tilted over the scorpion jar, and carefully aimed the mouth of the jar at the weighing plate with the wire mesh hanging on the side of the jar.
As if he smelled the bloody leech, the black scorpion that was pitch black and almost exuded a little metallic luster suddenly rushed out from the scorpion jar in Xiang Youbao's hand. It seemed that he was stimulated by the sudden marvelous sound of coming from around him. He had just rushed into the scorpion weighing plate surrounding the wire mesh. The black scorpion stretched out its huge pliers, raised the needle on its tail high, and wandered around the scorpion weighing plate that was not too big.
Suddenly, a gasp sounded among the crowd that was originally surrounded by the noisy sounds by the desk.
Most of the players who can compete in the scorpion fighting at the Qiuzhu Club are veterans. Perhaps the scorpion fighting at their hands is not very good, but most of them know what those excellent scorpion fighting looks like.
Generally speaking, when fighting and fighting scorpions first enter a strange environment, they will wander around in a shorter time to confirm whether there are other prey or opponents in the environment they are in. The better the fighting scorpions, the shorter the reaction time will be, and they will also have a greater chance of winning in the subsequent fighting scorpions. In the jargon of fighting scorpions, this behavior with deep animal instinct is called "dominating the world"!
In the scorpion fighting scenes I have seen in the past, the scorpion fighting that can start wandering around in half a cup of tea can be favored by many old players serving scorpion fighting. If the scorpion fighting that can start dominating the field in a pot of smoke, almost all the old players serving scorpion fighting can do their best to get the scorpion fighting, or to put all their bets on the scorpion fighting!
But this scorpion who started to smooth things out as soon as it landed...
Looking back carefully, I seem to have never seen it before?!
Using the pen stem, he gently pulled the small weight on the other side, which looked like an earring. Mr. Wenbi, who was sitting behind the desk, squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time. Then he couldn't help but shouted in a dry voice: "Jingshui Hutong takes Jiu Ye to serve a scorpion, and he weighs...... Height seven cents and five cents!"
The sound of gasping for air conditioning gathered in the crowd again...
He is full of ferociousness, quick-moving, and is bigger than an ordinary fighting scorpion. It's no wonder Xiang Youyou's tone is so big just now!
Before he could see, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Good guy! Just this big guy, I'm afraid I can really take the insect king of this year's autumn insect club! I didn't say that this year's New Year is delicious, and I'll drink spicy food, or wash the Wudian Temple with clean water, so I'll count on it! Brothers, those who are brave enough, so I'll write a ticket!"
Amid the corresponding sound of the loud noise, the Wenbi Man sitting behind the desk shouted loudly, which seemed particularly harsh: "One Jiu serves a fight scorpion, signs for sixty-six, and signs for a silver ocean!"
With a 'clang', a large ocean flew out of Xiang Youbao's hand fell accurately in front of the Wenbi's eyes.
Taking advantage of the situation, she took out a yellow golden boot sole from her arms. Xiang Youbao squeezed into another long book case under the protection of two green-skinned gangsters, and put the yellow golden boot sole towards another man with a surprised look in front of the eyes of another man who wrote a man in a hurry: "The number 66 is the number 66, the number of 66 is the best, and the final calculation is done!"
Mr. Zhangku, who was waiting to collect money after the book case, checked the quality and weight of the golden boot's sole. The Wenbi, who was specializing in issuing the ticket, silently wrote down the corresponding amount of the ocean on a ginger-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-sand-s
Xiao carefully stuffed the ban with a hint of heat into his arms. Xiang Youbao turned his head and shouted at Master Na Jiu who had already put the scorpion back into the scorpion jar, "Uncle Master, this is done, let's go back? The house is still prepared with wine and food waiting for us!"
Looking at the corner of his eyes, Mr. Na Jiu sighed secretly, but squeezed out a smile on his face as if he was pretending to be proud: "Okay, let's go back! Let's take a good night's rest, and I'll see the real chapter tomorrow!"
Chapter completed!
