Chapter 139 Little Gambling Pleasure

"Betting? How to bet?"

As soon as they heard that there was going to be a bet, all the soldiers' eyes lit up.

There are no entertainment items in this era, except visiting brothels and drinking wine, which is gambling!

But now that they are in the military, not to mention drinking and visiting brothels, even gambling is strictly prohibited. Their hands are already itchy and they want to have a try!

"It's just like how you usually press it, except it's changed to see if the lychee has gone bad!"

"I am the banker, and I can bet on every penny. If you don't have any money, you can also issue an IOU. But for our small gambling pleasure, the maximum cannot exceed a hundred penny!"

Xiao Zhengtai thought for a while and decided on the rules.

"Okay, then I'll put down ten cents and bet... that the lychees will go bad, hehe!"

After Fan Kuai listened to the rules, he counted ten coins from his pocket and patted them on the table beside him.

"You're so good, Fan Kuai. I usually treat you very well, but you don't believe me...!"

As soon as he heard this, Wang Li immediately started scolding him.

However, he then took out a handful of copper coins from his arms and said, "I have about twenty coins here, and I also failed to bet on the young master's boiled lychees, hehe!"

"Why do you have the nerve to say that to me? Aren't you the same?" Fan Kuai immediately gave him a look.

"I believe it, young master, but I always feel that... the lychees will definitely spoil faster after they are boiled in water!"

"I bet twenty cents on the young master's success!"

Han Xin supported the young lady.

After all, he was the one who pulled himself out of the pile of big-headed soldiers, otherwise how would he have the chance to make great achievements?

"I'll bet ten cents on the young master to succeed!"

"I bet fifteen cents, but I won't succeed!"

"Shiwen, unsuccessful!"

"Sanwen, unsuccessful...!"

All the soldiers spent a few pennies on it just for fun.

But most of them fail to suppress Xiaoshota!

After all, no one has ever heard that boiling lychees can extend their shelf life.

If it was really possible, why didn't the locals do this? Instead, they just watched the uneaten lychees rotting on the ground?

"Okay! Keep it safe and leave!"

Looking at the piles of copper coins, Xiao Zhengtai shouted like a gambling shop owner.

"It's time to witness the miracle!"

Young Shota opened a sealed clay pot herself.

A faint fragrance suddenly came from inside!

That’s right! That’s the flavor!

"Come on, let's all have a try...!"

The young lady ordered people to open a few more jars, and the fragrance of lychees overflowed, and everyone showed expressions of disbelief.

"How is it possible? Even the locals can't preserve lychees, but our young master actually used such a simple method to do it?"

Looking at the white and tender lychees in the jar, Wang Li and Fan Kuai's jaws dropped in shock.

"Try it...maybe it looks similar, but tastes very different!"

"Yes, try it!"

The two of them still refused to give up, so they got two branches from the tree nearby, rubbed them under their armpits, and then used them as chopsticks to stick them into the jar.

"Um?"

As soon as he took the lychee into his mouth, Fan Kuai's eyes widened.

"how?"

"Are you talking?"

Wang Li was so anxious that he took one of the chopsticks and threw it into his mouth.

"Um?"

As a result, the expressions of the two people were surprisingly consistent.

"Haha! It looks like we won!"

Seeing the dumbfounded expressions of the two people, Han Xin and other people who knew how to suppress Xiao Zhengtai suddenly felt happy.

After a long while, the two reluctantly swallowed the lychees and nodded with admiration!

"Young master, you are really amazing. The canned lychees taste sweet and even better than before!"

"Zhang Liang, collect the money!"

Xiao Zhengtai slightly raised her chin towards Zhang Liang, showing a philistine expression.

"well……!"

The defeated soldier waved his sleeves, turned around and left helplessly.

There is no way, no one can make them believe in the young master!

"Everyone has done a great job in quelling the chaos, so these canned lychees are considered as a reward for everyone!"

When the soldiers who lost money were disappointed, Koshota suddenly announced.

"What? Give us a reward?"

"That's right, but after the canned food is finished, everyone has to help pick lychees, buy sugar cane, and make a batch of canned food to take back to Xianyang!"

"yes!"

The soldiers immediately cheered.

"Give me a taste!"

"Give me some!"

"Wow! This canned lychee is so delicious. I have never eaten anything so delicious!"

"It sounds like someone has eaten it before. The canned lychees seem to be even more delicious than before!"

"Try the soup. It's refreshing and delicious, with the fragrance of lychee. It's delicious. Don't miss it!"

"Really? Let me try...! Huh? It's true!"

"If I take a few sips on the battlefield, I feel like I can instantly resurrect with full health!"



A lot of canned lychees were made this time, and every soldier tasted a few bites. Then, under the leadership of Fan Kuai, Wang Li and others, they went out to look for lychees.

Come back and follow the same steps as last time, peel it, boil the sugar, and make it canned!

The second batch of canned food was boiled and stored in a cool place, ready to be loaded onto the truck before returning to Xianyang!

When he had some free time, Mr. Shota began to empty his backpack and sort the contents.

Since leaving Xianyang for more than half a month, he has received many rewards, but there is nothing particularly eye-catching!

They are all daily necessities, medicines, some first and second grade primary school books, and various snacks!

These things are too common for him!

After all, I will graduate from college in later generations. What is the use of giving me books for the first and second grade of elementary school?

And it's not complete, there are only two volumes of mathematics and one volume of Chinese.

Should I learn from scratch what 1+1 equals, or should I learn aoe from scratch?

In contrast, the only things that can make his eyes shine are some antibiotics and opium poppies!

This thing is something that must not be touched in later generations, but there is no such plant in Da Qin now, so there is no such thing as a ban!

Poppy oil is addictive, but it is also a very good medicine!

It can treat dysentery, detoxify, anesthetize, etc. It will definitely come in handy in the future!

To outsiders, his backpack is nothing more than a small one, but it has a lot of things inside.

Xiao Shota divided the items inside into several categories, including daily necessities, snacks, drawings, books, weapons and equipment, medicines and sundries!

Just packing these things took him half a day!

There's no way, the things I've been given recently are so miscellaneous that it's hard to find them without sorting them out!

Moreover, the system boss will continue to give out rewards in the future, and it will be sorted out sooner or later, so why not take advantage of your free time now and sort it out quickly!

When I return to Xianyang, there are still a lot of things waiting for me!

The paper mill is being expanded, the wine mill is still being renovated, and steelmaking will be next. There are so many miscellaneous things!

"Young Master, the imperial court has sent troops!"

Just as Ying Feiyu was packing his backpack, Han Xin came to report.

"Hey! Father moves very fast!"

From the time Zhang Liang's battle report was sent out to now, it has only been less than half a month, and someone has come to take over Lingnan?

"Have a look!"
Chapter completed!
