When Su Shi proposed his bet, everyone was stunned, including Bai Jiangchuan.
Because the bet proposed by Su Shi was so ridiculous that everyone thought there was something wrong with their ears.
Even if Su Shi won the bet, Dongyuan Zhiku would only lose a store and four thousand taels of silver to him.
This is just a drop in the bucket for Dongyuan Zhiku.
But on the other hand, if Su Shi loses the bet, not only will Chen Xiaolan have to become a slave, but he himself will also have to pay the price of one hand and one eye.
After being stunned for a while, Bai Jiangchuan looked at Su Shi suspiciously because he couldn't figure out why Su Shi agreed to this bet.
Su Shi definitely didn't lack the four thousand taels of silver, so he shouldn't make the decision to injure his body for the sake of four thousand taels of silver.
It was precisely because Su Shi's behavior was so crazy that Bai Jiangchuan had to suspect that there was fraud. But after much thought, he still couldn't find a reason for Su Shi to win the bet.
Because there was no way he could give Su Shi any chance to win the bet.
There were at least five people who had been in business for more than 20 years drawing up a bet. There were only seven terms in the bet, but each of them was extremely harsh, leaving Su Shi with no loopholes to exploit.
And even if Su Shi could win the bet, it would have almost no impact on Dongyuan Zhiku. How much of an idiot would he have to be to accept this bet?
Seeing that Bai Jiangchuan didn't speak for a long time, Su Shi couldn't help but joked: "It seems that Master Bai's gambling is not big."
Bai Jiangchuan was still a little hesitant at first, but after hearing these words, a surge of anger appeared on his fair face. He said coldly: "Young Master Shen, don't be anxious. I will ask my servants to send you the bet. I hope that Young Master Shen will It’s better not to run away from the battlefield.”
When Chen Xiaolan left the gate of Dongyuan Quality Library, she felt that her legs were weak and she seemed unable to stand.
Chen Ang couldn't help but feel anxious and angry when he saw his daughter's lost state. He rushed to Chen Xiaolan and held her up, then glared at Su Shi.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xiaolan hurriedly explained: "Father, I'm fine."
Chen Ang looked at her suspiciously, and when he saw that his daughter had no other abnormality except that her face was slightly pale, he calmed down a little.
"What happened?" Chen Ang was still a little worried and couldn't help asking.
Chen Xiaolan shook her head and did not answer him. She just looked at Su Shi blankly.
When Bai Jiangchuan took out the bet, Chen Xiaolan had already fallen into despair, because the bet had plugged all the possible loopholes in the bet. Any behavior that violated business principles by Su Shi was considered cheating, and he could be directly judged Lose the bet.
In other words, Su Shi couldn't play any tricks.
But Su Shi signed a bet with Chen Xiaolan without even thinking about it. After Chen Xiaolan signed the bet, he felt empty.
Now she could only place her hope in Su Shi, but Su Shi looked relaxed and didn't seem to take this matter to heart at all.
"Where do you live now?" Su Shi asked.
"We are renting in Siqing Street now." Chen Xiaolan replied in a low voice.
"Siqing Street?"
Su Shi frowned because he had heard of this street.
Although the capital is a prosperous place, there are also barren places. And this Siqing Street is equivalent to the slums in Beijing.
The people living there are all at the lowest level in the capital, and have basically lost hope in life, living a life of passability every day.
Su Shi shook his head, took out another hundred taels of silver notes from his arms and handed it to Chen Xiaolan, and then said without refusal: "Now you can find another place to rent."
Chen Xiaolan said hurriedly: "We live very well there, there is no need to look for another place." But then she looked at Su Shi hesitantly and stopped talking.
Seeing that she had something to say, Su Shi smiled and said, "If you have any ideas, just say it."
Chen Xiaolan looked at the banknote in his hand and murmured: "Master, can you lend me this banknote?"
Su Shi looked at her with interest and asked, "What are you going to do with this bank note?"
Chen Xiaolan said softly: "We, father and daughter, can't make much black plum soup in one day, so I want to use this banknote to mobilize the neighbors on Siqing Street to make black plum soup and sell it."
Su Shi thought for a while and asked, "Have you ever calculated how many people can be invited with these one hundred taels? How many bowls of plum soup can be made every day?"
Chen Xiaolan silently calculated in his mind and said: "About forty or fifty households can be mobilized to make black plum soup, and eight thousand to ten thousand bowls can be made every day."
Su Shi smiled and said, "Have you ever thought about how many bowls of plum soup can be sold even if you can make 10,000 bowls of it every day? This plum soup is not your exclusive secret recipe."
It's not that Chen Xiaolan hasn't considered this issue, but she can't think of any other way.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Master, please don't worry, even if I go and beg, I will still..."
Before Chen Xiaolan could finish speaking, Su Shi had already interrupted her and said, "If there hadn't been this bet, your idea is actually very good, and I originally planned to do the same. But now that the bet has been decided, it needs to be changed. Strategy."
"Change strategy?" Chen Xiaolan didn't understand.
"Yes." Su Shi nodded, with a mysterious smile on his lips, and said, "Because only in this way will Bai Jiangchuan pay the price of making him unable to breathe in pain."
Chen Xiaolan looked at Su Shi hesitantly: "Did Young Master have a plan in advance?"
"Yes." Su Shi admitted: "Actually, I really just wanted to earn a little pocket money, but Bai Jiangchuan was rushing to give me money, so I had to reluctantly accept it."
Seeing Su Shi's confident look, Chen Xiaolan gradually calmed down.
Chen Ang, who was standing aside, was filled with anger because he had just finished reading the bet.
If there were no restrictions on the bet, he could think of at least two or three ways to win the bet.
But now all the tricks he could think of were restricted, so in his opinion, it was impossible for Su Shi to win this bet, which meant that Chen Xiaolan could not escape his tragic fate in the end.
Thinking of this, Chen Ang couldn't help clenching his fists and looking at Su Shi fiercely.
Su Shi looked at Chen Ang's ferocious face and couldn't help but frown: "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Chen Ang pointed at Su Shi and shouted angrily: "Master Shen, why did you push my daughter Xiaolan into the fire pit?"
"Push into the fire pit?" Su Shi was even more puzzled.
At this time, Chen Ang shouted loudly: "You used my daughter as a bet to make a bet that you can't win at all. What if you didn't push my daughter into a pit of fire?"
At this point, he couldn't help but burst into tears: "Mr. Shen, you have a noble status, can you let my daughter go? I'm here to kowtow to you."
After saying that, he was about to kneel down. At this time, Chen Xiaolan said anxiously: "Father, don't be like this. I have confidence in Mr. Shen, and this is of my own free will."
How could Chen Ang listen to her and beg again? Chen Xiaolan had no choice but to say loudly: "Master Shen put one of his hands and one eye on the line for this bet."
Chen Ang's whole body suddenly became stiff. He stared at Su Shi in stunned silence, as if looking at a madman.
Just when Chen Ang was in extreme shock, Chen Xiaolan couldn't help but ask: "What does the young master need from us?"
Su Shi said calmly: "So what you have to do now is to move to a better place first, then buy a few new sets of clothes, and then have a good rest."
"Then what?"
Su Shi smiled and said, "Get on the carriage first, and I'll tell you how to get on the carriage next."
