After the prize was announced, Lu Qingxuan and Lu Liangchen were eager to try, but Chen Ya remained indifferent.
Chai Xian's expression became even more bitter.
Not to mention there was a prize, even if there wasn't one, he would still want to show off his skills to everyone.
A man of destiny like Lu Liangchen and a girl of destiny like Lu Qingxuan, standing next to them, feel a huge pressure.
Every time he encountered such an occasion, people would say he was showing off his ugliness. He really was ugly. He didn't want to embarrass himself!
If you really don’t have any talent, who would want to be a supporting role?
But who made him not have those two hands?
Throughout the entire banquet, the only person he could surpass was probably Chen Ya, the guy from the countryside.
Old Madam Yu urged, "Chai Xian, hurry up, the people behind are still waiting."
Chai Xian made a gesture of begging for mercy and bowed, saying:
"Grandma, you understand me. My skills are just like tying tofu with a hemp rope. I can't lift it. I'll tell you a joke. Please forgive me!"
The atmosphere at the table was suddenly filled with joy. Old Mrs. Yu also smiled and said:
"Okay, then if I laugh, you pass. If no one else laughs during the meal, you have to drink a glass of wine as a penalty."
Chai Xian's face became even more bitter, and he said to everyone in a monkey-like gesture:
"Dear uncles, brothers and sisters, please give Chai Xian a chance to live. Please cooperate with me later!"
At this point, the uncles sitting in front started laughing and said:
"Chai Xian, you don't need to talk anymore. The few ugly faces you've made are hilarious enough."
Mrs. Yu next to her said with a stern face:
"That won't do. We can't let him off that easily, Chai Xian. The jokes you tell must be ones no one has ever heard before. If they're just the same old jokes, they won't work."
This sentence put Chai Xian in an unexpected difficulty. How could he guess in such a short time which jokes Old Lady Yu had not heard?
He thought about it silently, and soon he found that he had created a big problem for himself.
The jokes he was good at were all dirty jokes, which could make people laugh in private, but who would dare to tell them in Fu Shou Tang?
Not to mention the great-grandmother, Lu Qingxuan and Lu Ningna are still sitting here. If anyone disrespects these two, someone will tear him to pieces alive.
And those jokes that are not vulgar are not that interesting, and there is no guarantee that everyone will laugh.
After thinking for a long time, he suddenly had an idea and thought to himself, I got it.
Clearing his throat, he said:
"Speaking of which, there was a man from the countryside who came to the capital for the first time..."
As he was speaking, his hand pointed in the direction of Chen Ya, then he made a feint, and suddenly pointed to the sky, as if he was pointing at Chen Ya, but also as if he was pointing at the wrong person. In short, he was not sure what he was doing.
However, after hearing the elements of "rural area" and "first time in Beijing", combined with his gestures, some people who understood it understood about 70% of it.
Chen Sheng was a little confused. He and Chai Xian had never had any contact with each other, so he didn't understand why he was making fun of his own son.
Chai Xian continued, "He had a wealthy relative in the capital. Seeing the prosperity of the capital, and his wealthy relative's willingness to spend money on him to see the sights, he became arrogant and his desires inflated. He wanted to buy some expensive things so that he could show off to his fellow villagers when he returned.
“It is said that a man cannot live without a watch, so he strode into a watch shop and slammed the table, saying, ‘Boss, bring out all the expensive watches you have!
"He ended up being fooled by his lack of experience. The watch shop he entered was a Patek Philippe shop, renowned for its high-end designs! Upon hearing his extravagant words, the owner quickly brought up three watches for him to choose from.
"He looked at the first watch and asked the boss how much it cost. The boss gave him a staggering number. He then asked for the second one, and this number was even more staggering. He then asked for the third one, and the price was beyond his imagination.
"Finally, the boss asked him which piece he liked and which one looked the best. He shook his head and said, 'None of them look good,' and walked out.
"The boss got angry when he heard that and chased after me, asking: 'Our Patek Philippe watches can't be bad looking, why do you think they are bad looking?'
"The rural man turned around and said quietly: "A poor bastard like me, no watch would look good on me."
Chai Xian is indeed very talented in telling jokes. A joke that was not funny originally becomes quite interesting after his vivid interpretation.
In addition, most people at the table knew who this incident referred to, and many of them laughed.
"puff."
Lu Qingxuan didn't want to laugh, but she couldn't help but chuckle.
Then she turned her head with a stern face and said to Chai Xian: "You acted well, but the trick was a bit despicable."
Chai Xian clasped his hands together and said, "In this desperate situation, this is the only thing I can think of. Please let me go!"
Lu Qingxuan curled her lips and said, "Alright, since you're acting so hard, I'll just laugh."
Lu Liangchen laughed heartily and said, "That's so funny, Chai Xian. You have a great talent for telling jokes. I admire you."
Only Lu Nina looked confused, she had no idea what was so funny.
Mrs. Yu said, "I just took a quick look and saw at least four or five people at the table didn't laugh. You have to drink five glasses of wine as a penalty."
Chai Xian's face suddenly turned more bitter than bitter melon: "Grandma, can we... drink it separately?"
"Let's have a drink first."
Seeing Chai Xian swallowing a glass of wine as if it were medicine, Old Lady Yu said:
"Your jokes are good, but the content is incomprehensible. Why would a country person go to Patek Philippe? Besides, even if they did, you can tell at a glance that Patek Philippe is expensive."
