Human beings were born with gambling in their bones. Since ancient times, the richer and more powerful people were, the more they liked to gamble because they had more opportunities to express their nature.
Of course, gambling was not just about money. Many choices were also gambling. For example, in ancient times, when ministers chose the prince's side, that was gambling. Now, when companies made all kinds of decisions, it was also gambling.
Li Du also liked to gamble, but the existence of the little bug made many things less mysterious. Take warehouse auctions, for example, he was very confident in choosing the warehouse, and the final result was not surprising.
In this way, his usual gambling nature was suppressed, and life and work were less interesting to him.
Therefore, when he saw the casino last night, he wanted to go in and play a few rounds. Making money was secondary. He did not want to use the little bug to cheat the whole time last night. He wanted to rely on luck for some small games.
In the end, the casino turned him away, and his expectations were dashed again. Today, the supermarket came to him on a silver platter, openly discriminating against the Chinese, which gave him a chance to vent his anger.
Besides, today was also a gamble, and there were some unknowns, such as whether the manager would agree to bet with him, or whether the ripeness of the watermelons was really the same.
In the end, he won. The gamble was small, but Li Du was satisfied.
Of course, he still used some tricks. He did not tamper with the first six watermelons, and there was indeed a difference in ripeness, but the last two spoiled watermelons were the result of the little bug absorbing the time energy.
The two watermelons themselves were spoiled, but not completely. Only a part of the watermelon was sour and rotten, and the little bug enlarged that part, making the scene even more exaggerated.
Sophie looked at the manager and smiled bitterly. "If you had apologized from the beginning, it wouldn't be so embarrassing now."
Knocking on the watermelon could indeed tell the ripeness of the watermelon by the sound it made. There was a difference in the sound of raw and ripe melons after a gentle knock. It was not only the Chinese who bought watermelons that way, but also foreigners. For example, in the popular Russian cartoon "Rabbit, wait and see!" There was an episode about knocking on watermelons.
Therefore, the supermarket's warning in Chinese was a provocation to the Chinese, and they got what they asked for. Li Du taught them a lesson.
He did not care about the rest. He waved his hand and left with Brother Wolf and the others. "Let's go buy something."
The onlookers had now become the protagonists. A group of people surrounded the manager of the vegetable and fruit area and questioned him about what was going on.
Things were getting out of hand. The general manager and some people in charge of the supermarket had to step in. To quote a popular saying on the internet, the supermarket was in trouble this time.
Big Quinn asked weakly, "Do you think the supermarket will not sell our goods?"
Godzilla clenched his fists and said fiercely, "How dare he!"
Li Du smiled and said, "I hope he will do that, but he won't dare to. Firstly, with the two of you around, who would dare to disobey us? Secondly, if they dare to reject us, I will dare to sue them. Thirdly, the supermarket is so big, the vegetable and fruit section is nothing. "
Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and added, "Go and bring a few watermelons, the ones I picked out and put on the side. We'll eat them by the lake later."
The resort that Carpenter had helped them find was next to Lake Erie, with a pier that extended into the lake. There was plenty of wine and food inside, but they could also bring their own. Anyway, there was no good food in Cleveland, so most people eventually chose to eat at the resort.
Lake Erie was one of the Five Great Lakes of North America. It was the fourth largest in area and located in the south. It was shared by the United States and Canada.
The lake stretched from northwest to southeast, with a length of 388 kilometers and a width of 95 kilometers at its widest point. It covered an area of nearly 30,000 square kilometers, which was very vast.
July was the golden season to visit Lake Erie. It was frozen in winter and was only navigable for seven or eight months a year, with July and August being the busiest.
The Great Lakes used to be an important industrial producer in the United States. Lake Erie was rich in mineral resources such as uranium, gold, silver, copper, limestone, and salt. A large amount of wastewater was discharged into the lake.
However, since the 1970s and 1980s, the Great Lakes began to pay attention to the water quality and environment, and local governments have made great efforts to control pollution.
Cleveland used to be very polluted, but to what extent? The Cuyahoga River, which flowed through the city, was nicknamed the "burning river," because there were a lot of chemical oil floating on the river, and it would burn from time to time.
Now, after treatment, the lake area had become much cleaner. The water was clear and translucent, there were dense green forests along the banks, and water birds were flying in the lake. The white, green, and blue colors revealed a sense of cleanliness everywhere.
The car sped along the lake road, and after leaving downtown Cleveland, it accelerated and continued to rush north.
Li Du looked out and felt that the colors of Lake Erie were not rich. The trees were green, the grass was green, the sky was blue, the water was blue, the clouds were white, and the birds were white.
However, because of the abandonment of pollution, the simple colors were very vivid, especially when there were some fish jumping on the lake from time to time. The dynamic scene interspersed with the landscape painting was amazing.
From time to time, there were dense forests around the lake. The resort was in a forest, where the trees were lush and lush, really worthy of the name of a natural oxygen bar.
The car turned into the forest road, and occasionally there was some lake water between the trees. The lake was blue and endless.
The houses in the resort were also mixed in the forest, many of which were tree houses. The local area had tall and burly American redwoods, which were giants, towering tens of meters high.
At the edge of the forest was the lake shore. There were two kinds, one was a stone shore, and the other was a sand shore. The beach by the lake had the white and delicate beach. The snow-white lake water gently lapped on the beach, with a quiet beauty different from the magnificent waves of the ocean.
The area where the resort was located happened to be half a stone shore and half a sand shore. Under the guidance of Carpenter, they went through the admission procedures. Each person did not need to pay in cash. As long as they showed the card, the money would be deducted.
The location of this place was far from downtown Cleveland, almost close to Erie. If they went further north, it would be Canadian territory. They were now in the border area.
The reason why they chose this place was that the temperature was relatively low, and because of the latitude, the local daytime time was very long. Carpenter said that the sky would be bright at three or four o 'clock in the morning, and they waited until ten o' clock in the evening. The sun would not set, and the sky would be red.
After getting out of the car, Li Du stretched, then waved his hand and said, "Everyone, make yourselves at home, guys. You can play as you like as a family unit. We are here to rest."
Lu Guan asked, "Well, I have collected some work information here. Do you want to hear it?"
