Chapter 24 Making a Vest

No matter in which era, the polarization between rich and poor is extremely serious.

On the main street at night, both sides of the street are lined with lanterns, illuminating the street brightly. Many businesses are still open, the vendors are also busy, and even beggars are still wandering around diligently begging.

There were also girls and ladies from well-off families leisurely shopping, especially the gentlemen and gentlemen, some riding horses or sitting in sedan chairs, and they all gathered at the brightest place by the river.

Jiang Changan knew at a glance that it was a night carnival, a place for men to have fun, and the Qinlou Chu Pavilion was also the place where the most money circulated the fastest.

However, she is a carpenter, and her expertise is not suitable for her, so she seems to be unable to squeeze in, right?

Jiang Jiabao followed Jiang Changan closely, squeezing her tightly with her little hands, fearing that her sister would get lost, "There are so many people begging for food, we can't get any money, right?"

Look at how dedicated those beggars are. The brother and sister are afraid they won’t even be able to eat, let alone money.

Jiang Changan choked. This stupid brother wouldn't always think that they came out to beg for food, right? It's hard for him to have the courage to accompany him out.

"Our need for money has nothing to do with begging. If we want to make money, we still rely on our brains." The cost of begging is low, but the profit is also low. Jiang Changan would not be so obsessed with doing such a thankless job.

"Oh?" I'm sorry. His brain is not enough when he comes to a strange place. He must have switched with his sister, and he is dull.

Jiang Changan took his brother and followed the uncles to look for opportunities in the busiest places. They weren't necessarily all brothels, right?

As a result, she really found a different place.

‘Gamble’?! Isn’t that the Golden Cave?

The casino is a paradise for those who get rich overnight, and a hell for those who lose everything overnight. It is a place where people undergo earth-shaking changes in a short period of time.

What a great place! Moreover, not only naked money is gambled here, but also stones are gambled. Jiang Changan specially passed by the entrance of the big casino, not only his eyes, but also the certificate system was opened and scanned.

After roughly seeing the scene clearly and having a good idea of ​​what was going on, Jiang Changan immediately raised the corners of his mouth with a playful expression and breathed a long sigh of relief. Finally, he had a solution.

So he took Jiang Jiabao and hurried past, thinking about how to sneak into the casino.

It's definitely not okay for two children to enter a casino. If they lose, it's fine. If they win, they might not be able to get out.

Another problem is that she doesn't have much money.

The money in his pocket was given by Mrs. Song. Each student will receive 20 yuan as a bonus for the first place in the collective assessment. No more can be given. The extra money must be given to the parents.

And just bought the buns for five cents, and Jiang Changan still had fifteen cents on him. How could he turn the tables? The difficulty was too high.

There was a cloth shop ahead, and Jiang Changan thought of another way to sneak into the casino. Of course, he would do it in disguise, and he had to pretend to be an adult.

Jiang Changan pulled his brother in and said, "Sister, what are you doing buying cloth now?" Do you have money? Jiang Jiabao was confused.

"You'll find out later." Of course it's a vest.

"Boss, I would like a hooded cloak made of black coarse cloth. It is five feet long for adults." There were no customers in the cloth shop, so the landlady was surprised when she saw the two brothers and sisters coming in, thinking they were begging for food.

It turned out that I was buying cloth? This is really strange. "Five feet of cloth costs fifteen cents, and I can sew it for you for free."

Jiang Changan was dumbfounded. All his belongings were spent. How could he make a comeback without any cost? "Can it be cheaper?" Five feet of cloth, could she say that she bought a lot? After all, the bun boss just said that five steamed buns were a lot.

I gave one to their brother and sister for free.

The landlady looked at the pitiful Jiang Chang'an and her mouth twitched. The little girl must have never inquired about the market price, right? Three cents per foot of coarse cloth, she had lowered the price from the beginning.

Who doesn't start with five cents for cloth on the market? However, the two embarrassed children at least came to buy it instead of asking for it, which made the landlady look at it and said, "Okay, I'll save you one or two cents."

Seeing that the little girl was about to cry, the proprietress of the cloth shop relented and gave her another penny as a discount. Immediately, she saw the little girl beaming with joy, as if she had received the whole world.

"Thank you, boss lady! Good people are rewarded. I wish you all the best and lots of money!" She smiled sweetly, like a blooming lotus, but she looked a little stupid.

The boss lady smiled knowingly, "Okay, just wait, I'll cut and sew it for you."

The landlady is a nimble person and does what she says, but there is not much business at night, so there is no loss in accomplishing a good deed.

Soon, the landlady sewed out a cloak and said, "Take it and be careful at night."

"Yes, thank you boss lady for the money." Jiang Changan took the cloak and put it on Jiang Jiabao's shoulders, then poured out all the copper plates, pinched out two coins, and handed them all to the boss lady's hands.

Alas, it’s easy to spend money but hard to make money!

The two brothers quickly left the cloth shop and asked, "Sister, why did you buy a cloak?" All other fabrics except clothes for their peasant family were luxury goods.

Jiang Changan looked left and right, and when passers-by weren't paying attention, he pulled Jiang Jiabao into a deserted alley.

"Brother, let's disguise ourselves as adults and sneak into the casino to get some money."

"No! You can't bet! Sister, we can't bet. Grandpa will break our legs if he finds out." Jiang Jiabao refused without thinking.

In their village on the mountain, two families have been ruined because of gambling. Thieves are terrible. They are harmful to people. Grandpa frequently reminds anyone who dares to gamble, cut off the relationship, and drive them out of the house. That's it.

It's simple and crude, so you can't do this.

Of course Jiang Changan knows not to gamble, but these are extraordinary times, and gambling is the fastest way to make money. Moreover, she has a certificate system that can be scanned, so she can definitely win. However, this kind of thing can only be done once, and it will happen many times.

There is big trouble.

"I learned a skill from the old beggar, I will definitely win, and I will only bet this time. When our family gets through this difficulty, I will never get involved in gambling again, okay?"

Brother, think about your father, think about your mother, and still have a lot of debts. Do you think the people in the first and third bedrooms will still accept us after we go back?

Now we can only rely on ourselves. If we lose, it's just two cents, but if we win, we can protect our little family.

Brother, you only have this one chance, don't you want to?" Jiang Changan has told all the good and bad, and I believe that this brother will be able to analyze the current situation of their family to some extent.

"Then, what should we do?" If it were in the past, Jiang Jiabao would never believe that his uncle and his family would be so indifferent and malicious.

But what happened today gave him a big slap in the face. All his close relatives were fake. His only distant relatives were his grandfather, and the closest ones were his parents and sister.

Therefore, they really can only rely on themselves. If they lose two pennies, if they win, the second wife can turn around. They only gamble once. The younger sister knows how to gamble and can win.

At this moment, Jiang Jiabao's thinking was extremely clear, so he risked his life. What my sister heard was that this person who got the first place in the assessment, only those who have read know how difficult it is, so she is smart, she

You can definitely win the bet.

"You put me on your shoulders, and we put on the cloak, so that I am as tall as an adult. Leave the rest to me. You just need to hold me, listen to my instructions, and hold on for half an hour." One hour.

, enough for Jiang Changan to make a comeback from gambling and then gamble again.

"This is easy to handle, let alone half an hour, even an hour is no problem." However, he can only see the road under his feet, not the way forward, so it will be very inconvenient for him to move.

So, "Let's practice it a few times in the dark alley first, leaving a gap in the middle for you to see the way. Usually others won't look too far down, and the lighting in the casino is not good, so don't be afraid."

So what if their secrets are exposed? They don't steal or rob. They just use this trick to get out of trouble later. At worst, they will get their faces painted and no one will be able to recognize them.

"Let's practice." Jiang Changan only weighs twenty pounds, and Jiang Jiabao has also inherited some of Yao's strength. Jiang Changan is more than enough to support him, so he is full of confidence and eager to try.

Going into a casino to gamble is exciting just thinking about it. There are few boys who don't like risky games.
