I was a hunter in ancient times

Just by looking at the gorgeous appearance, you can know how profitable this restaurant is, not to mention that there are people from three floors inside and three floors outside the restaurant, blocking the entire street.

It made their carriage unable to pass by quickly, and Shen Xi was forced to face the restaurant all the time.

Zhou Du only glanced lightly, then withdrew his gaze, covered Shen Xi's eyes with the hand that had been hanging by his side, and whispered in his ear, "Don't be afraid."

The behemoth in front of his eyes was blocked, and Zhou Du's voice was heard in his ears. Shen Xi's pale face improved slightly. He pulled Zhou Du's hand covering his eyelids, took a deep breath, then shook his head firmly and said: "I'm not afraid."

"Well," Zhou Du replied lightly, with a gentle and affectionate voice that he didn't usually have, like a hot spring trying to melt people away, "Good boy."

Shen Xi's ears were hot. In the past, when the two of them were making out to the end, Zhou Du would still put his ear in his mouth, and whisper this word to him in a hoarse voice beside his ear.

then……

Then his stomach will bulge slightly.

The heat from his ears spread to his neck all of a sudden, his face was flushed, they hadn't been intimate for three whole months, now that Zhou Du gently teased him, he had a shameful little reaction.

Shen Xi fanned his eyelashes, thinking that they were still in the carriage, and there were so many people outside, so he pushed Zhou Du away in front of him with a flushed face, and yelled at him in shame and embarrassment: "You hate it!"

Being pushed away by Shen Xi, Zhou Du was not annoyed, raised his eyebrows lightly, and said without any emotion in his tone: "It's fine if you don't hate it."

The calmer he is, the more ashamed Shen Xi looks.

He opened his parched lips, and wanted to say something more, but the carriage suddenly moved, and he fell into Zhou Du's arms.

Zhou Du steadily caught Shen Xi who was bumping into him, and looked out the car window.

I saw that the people who were wandering in the street all rushed towards the restaurant for some reason. There were already many people on the street, and with this surge, it was inevitable that someone would bump into their carriage.

Zhou Du hugged Shen Xi tightly to prevent him from being hit again, frowned, and asked a person who was blocking under their car window: "Excuse me, when did it happen, and why is it so congested."

The person blocking their car window was a young boy. Hearing Zhou Du's voice, he turned around and saw Zhou Du's unenthusiastic face. He was stuck here and had no other place to go, so he simply chatted with him: "You are not from Kyoto, are you?"

Zhou Du replied: "No."

"That's no wonder," the young man smiled and explained, "It's noon, and it's also the time for Jiang Ji's pot throwing."

Zhou Du was puzzled: "When is the throwing pot?"

"Yeah," the young man seemed very excited, his whole face was beaming with joy, "This Jiang Ji is the most famous restaurant in our capital. The high-ranking officials and aristocrats, as well as overseas merchants, all like to come to this Jiang Ji, but this Jiang Ji comes out. In addition to eating, there is a free throwing pot in front of the restaurant, as long as you hit a certain number of pots at a certain distance, you can get real money."

Shen Xi snorted dissatisfied: "It's just a gimmick."

The young man saw Shen Xi nestled in Zhou Du's arms, and smiled again: "Your Majesty is right, it is indeed a gimmick, but the money is real, and there is no cap for a penny up to ten taels, as long as you If you have strength, you can decide how much you earn, and you don’t need money anyway, even if it’s a gimmick, everyone enjoys it.”

Shen Xi pursed his lips and was speechless. Looking at the crowds that kept rushing to the front of the restaurant, he felt depressed. Spending some money to hold a small pitching pot can attract such a large flow of people. No wonder he can stand so tall in the capital for many years.

After the young man finished speaking, he squeezed out a gap in the crowd, perhaps to seize the opportunity, so he stopped talking to Zhou Du and the others in detail, and quickly slipped into the gap, disappearing.

After Shen Xi waited for him to leave, he twitched his fingers sourly: "A good restaurant doesn't cook, but they engage in such crooked ways."

The mood that was coaxed by Zhou Du just now was disturbed again.

Zhou Du knew that whether it was Jiang Ji or the people in Jiang Ji, a thorn had formed in Shen Xi's heart, and if this thorn was not removed, it would run out at the slightest sign of trouble, causing him pain in his heart.

Immediately, he stopped sitting in the carriage, pulled up Shenxi, opened the curtain of the carriage, and went outside.

Shen Xi was shocked by his movement, and couldn't help asking: "What are you going to do?"

Zhou Du gave Bean Bao and Xue Tuan a signal to let them wait in the carriage, and took Shen Xi to the crowd: "Take you to earn money."

Shen Xi was startled, and then realized: "Are you also going to throw pots?"

Due to his height advantage, Zhou Du glanced at the crowd, and he could clearly know where to squeeze people in. He led Shen Xi to shuttle around in the crowd, and it was not difficult at all, and he soon arrived at the restaurant's pot throwing line : "The money picked up for nothing, don't want it for nothing."

Shen Xi looked at the pot bottle placed far away with a narrow mouth, and asked worriedly: "Can you do it?"

"Can I do it?" Zhou Du moved close to Shen Xi's ear, teasing him, "You don't know the best."

Shen Xi: "..."

Shen Xi looked around, his ears were red: "Who told you this, I'm talking about throwing pots!"

Zhou Du replied to him: "I'm also talking about throwing pots. If I remember correctly, throwing pots is also evolved from archery."

After being reminded by Zhou Du, Shen Xi recalled that Zhou Du was not good at anything else, but his archery skills were second to none. This pot throwing and archery are similar in purpose, so it must not be far behind.

I made up my mind.

Zhou Du gave him another reassurance: "No hit, no loss."

That's right, Shen Xi loosened his eyebrows, put aside his prejudice against Jiang Ji, and they just came here for a visit.

Seeing Shen Xi relax, Zhou Du walked over to Jiang Ji's buddy who was guarding the pot throwing platform, and asked him about the rules of the pot throwing.

Ordinary throwing pots, that is, throwing arrows into the mouth of the pot is enough. One arrow is one article, and each person has eight arrows.

The slightly more difficult throwing pot requires more skill. It is no longer a simple throwing into the mouth of the pot, but each has its own method.

【Inverted】Twelve taels, that is, the arrow points upward and the tail of the arrow falls into the pot.

[Dao Er] Get twelve taels, that is, the arrow points upward and the tail of the arrow falls into the ear of the pot.

[Guaner] Get twelve taels, that is, hit the small hole in the ear of the pot.

[Yi Rod] Get ten liang, the arrow leans against the ear of the pot, and does not fall into the bottom of the pot.

[Wave Pot] Get 15 taels, and the arrow rotates on the mouth of the pot to form a stick.

[Dragon Head] Get 15 taels, a kind of stick, the arrow is aimed at the pot thrower.

[Dragon Tail] Get 15 taels, a kind of stick, the arrow feathers are aimed at the pot thrower.

[Horizontal Pot] Get 15 taels, and the arrow lies horizontally at the mouth of the pot.

[Full Pot] If you hit all the above, the amount you get will be doubled ten times. (Note)

It looks like a lot of money, but it’s not easy to earn. The required posture can only be standing, not a little bit tilted, otherwise it will be regarded as a violation, and the pot and bottle are placed far away, so I don’t have the strength to throw it into the mouth of the pot. It is difficult, not to mention all kinds of tricks, there is no possibility of opportunism.

After Zhou Du figured out the rules, he saw quite a few people get off the pitching platform, and almost none of them won.

Shen Xi pinched the corner of his clothes nervously, and worriedly asked in Zhou Du's ear, "Can I win one?"

After all, this pot throwing is not only a comparison of accurate throwing, but also has a certain gap with archery.

Asking Zhou Du this question is like asking him if he can do it. Serious distrust of his strength, Zhou Du raised his eyebrows, took eight arrows from the guy, weighed them in his hands, and threw them to Shen Xi Words: "Wait."

After all, people went to the pitching platform.

At this time, the pitching platform was already full of people, and adding Zhou Du didn't seem to be very conspicuous. All eyes on the stage were fixed on the mouth of the pot, wanting to see who could make a lot of money today.

Zhou Du went up to the stage and picked an empty corner, found a jug, tested the weight of the arrow in his hand, focused his eyes on the jug and vase, and searched for all kinds of targets he wanted to shoot.

This distance is not bad for him, he shoots arrows farther than this, the only disadvantage is that the arrow is too light and has no weight, if you want to shoot, you must control the strength of your arm.

When no one was paying attention to Zhou Du, he breathed steadily, secretly mobilized his arms, and the first arrow in his hand flew out, and fell steadily into the pot, which was exactly one [Inverted].

Among all the rules of throwing pots, this kind of head-to-head throwing method is the easiest for Zhou Du. After he hit the first arrow and found the strength, he kept his eyes fixed and held his breath. One hit.

At first, no one paid attention to him, but after he shot these three arrows, someone noticed him immediately, and for a while, everyone on the pitching stage and everyone below the pitching stage all made noises of drinking at him.

"Okay, good vote!"

Shen Xi's eyes have been on Zhou Du since he came to the stage, and he was happy and nervous when he saw that he hit the three arrows without any mistakes.

I am happy that he hits three in a row, but I am nervous that the difficulty behind him will become more and more difficult, and I will not be able to hit it.

The same goes for the other spectators, and even everyone on the pot-throwing platform put down their arrows to watch him throw the pot wholeheartedly.

Regarding these people's thoughts, Zhou Du didn't know. He had already immersed himself in the throwing game of pot throwing. Every time he shot an arrow, he would take the strength and accuracy of the throw in his heart, and he would only shoot after confirming that it was correct.

From outsiders, it seems that he is fast and accurate, but in terms of strength, he has practiced it dozens of times in his heart.

In the end, there was no accident, and the eight arrows hit in succession.

"Full pot! Full pot! Full pot!"

As soon as the whole pot was poured out, there was unprecedented excitement in front of the restaurant.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Standing in the crowd, Shen Xi almost jumped up with excitement, and shouted tremblingly at Zhou Du.

As soon as Zhou Du turned around, he saw that his cheeks were flushed with excitement, his eyes were shining brightly, and he was jumping up and down in the crowd, completely forgetting all the unhappiness since he came to Beijing.

From a distance, she raised her eyebrows at him slightly, and then a faint smile appeared on her lips.

Others didn't know, but Shen Xi knew that it was Zhou Du who smiled at him, and suddenly Su made his feet feel weak and his heart itch.

They are happy, but some people in the restaurant are not happy. You must know that all the money in this pot is doubled.

All the amounts add up to a total of 100 taels, and if you double it ten times, it will be 1000 taels!

1000 taels, 1000 taels!

Even if the business is as hot as Jiangji Restaurant, it is not easy to take out the 1000 taels, which is equivalent to their net profit for three or four months, almost half a year.

Asking them to take out this money is like cutting their flesh.

Jiang Hong, the owner of Jiangji Restaurant, looked extremely gloomy. He thought he had tampered with the distance and arrows, and no one would hit the whole pot, so he set the reward to double. Unexpectedly, he was wronged.

But this is under the watchful eyes of the public, and the money has to be given.

Jiang Hong's eyes were ruthless, he gritted his teeth, and said two words: "Give it to him."
