As we approached the village entrance, we saw several firewood towers several meters high beside the village road.
There is a lot of firewood piled under the firewood tower.
I was a little strange, so I asked Zhao Er:
"What is this chai tower used for?"
Zhao Er's speed also slowed down, and he explained loudly:
"This is specially used for nails. Standing on it, you can see the situation several miles away. If someone comes to catch a gambler, the village can be notified immediately!"
Unexpectedly, this firewood tower was actually used for ventilation.
It seems that Fatty Tong has worked hard for this casino.
Passed through Chaita and arrived at the village.
The scene in front of me was different from what I thought.
Generally speaking, this kind of village is mainly agricultural.
There are at most a few supermarkets, restaurants, dance halls and other places in the village.
But in addition to these, Tongjia Village also has baths, nightclubs, and pawn shops.
Although the decoration is not comparable to that in the city, it also looks a bit rustic.
But the level of prosperity is much stronger than that in the town.
Zhao Er explained to me:
"These are all opened by direct relatives of Director Tong. He stipulated that anyone with the surname Tong cannot gamble. As for people with other surnames, they can gamble, but they cannot borrow usury. Most of the people who come here to play now are from the town, and there are
The one in nearby Murakami..."
This Tong Laofei is really a talent.
He is well aware of the dangers of gambling and usury, so he specializes in cheating people outside, but his own family members are not allowed to play.
As soon as Zhao Er and I arrived at the village, I was surprised again.
I originally thought that there should be a special casino in this village.
But everywhere I looked, under the trees, in the yards, and on the streets, there were gambling games everywhere.
There are also many types of games to play, including poker, Pai Gow, dice and everything else.
Zhao Er parked his motorcycle on the side of the road, and I asked him curiously:
“There’s no dedicated casino here?”
Zhao Er bared his yellow teeth and exposed his gums, and said carelessly:
"Casino? This whole village is a casino. Isn't it enough for you to play? Let me tell you, Director Tong's brain is definitely good enough. Anyone can start the game as he wants. He sends people to be responsible for security and pumping, and the officials will check him out.
Guaranteed. Moreover, he only draws 10% of the winner's points in each round. Finally, he will give 3% to the person who let the round go. Don't underestimate the 7%. At the end of the day, you can get 5% without saying a word.
Seventy or eighty thousand!"
I have to admit that this Tong Laofei's idea is indeed very good.
By doing this, he doesn't have to worry about the source of customers, nor does he have to worry about management.
Just as he was talking, a roar came from the village road not far away.
When I turned around, I saw seven or eight motorcycles driving ahead.
Behind him were six or seven cars, with the latest Millennium Mercedes in the middle.
There are also two pickup trucks that have been postponed.
I wasn't driving very fast when I passed these gambling stalls.
Most of the gamblers who were having fun now stood up.
Heading towards the motorcade, salute with attention.
The same thing happened to Zhao Er next to me. I curiously asked him in a low voice:
"Whose convoy is this?"
Zhao Er said nothing. After the motorcade passed by, he explained to me in a low voice:
"Who can have such a big name in Tongjia Village? Of course it's Director Tong. As long as he leaves the village, Director Tong will fight like this!"
This is not a village director, he is simply a local emperor.
It is estimated that Fatty Tong also knew that he had committed too many sins and was afraid of revenge, so he allowed so many people to follow him when traveling.
"What about in the village? Is there such a big battle?"
I asked again.
"The village belongs to his family, who does he do this for? Let's go over there and have a look. What do you want to play?"
I was thinking about it as I walked.
Fatty Tong rarely leaves the village, and when he does, he takes so many people with him.
If you want to get rid of him, I'm afraid you have to do it in the village.
I followed Zhao Er to a few gambling stalls, but there wasn't much to do here.
At most, it only costs a few hundred yuan per handful.
While I was watching, Zhao Er touched me lightly, then pointed at a gambling stall under the willow tree and pursed his lips:
"Have you seen that woman who is the banker? She has been cheating on her ideas lately and has lost a lot of money. If you believe me, bet on her and you will win for sure!"
Followed Zhao Er and walked over.
The person sitting in the banker is a woman, in her thirties, wearing ordinary clothes.
It looks quite pretty.
She has a slightly chubby figure and big breasts.
The clothes were still a little loose. This also caused her chest to be exposed when she lowered her head to shuffle the cards.
This made the gamblers around them look suspicious.
They played Watuozi, which is the name in the Lianghu area.
I don’t know who brought this name here.
As for the gameplay, it’s almost the same as pushing a pin.
There are forty cards, except for the tubes. Four roosters are used, and the roosters count as half a point.
The four cards used to push the tube are wind cards.
The points of the two cards are also added up and compared in order.
If the pair is larger than the normal number, the odds are one to two.
For pairs with more than seven tubes, the odds are 1 to 3.
The biggest bet is the chicken, and the odds are five.
Of course, the odds are different depending on the game.
I looked at it for a while and saw that this woman had about three thousand dollars in front of her. After a few rounds, she lost only over one thousand dollars.
When another game started, I saw this woman looking at the money in front of her and muttering:
"One thousand and eighty, equal compensation, don't risk the money, that's all!"
What she means by even payout is that all cards have odds of one to one.
Not risking money means that the three families can only squeeze the money in front of her at most.
Even if you press too much, she won't compensate you.
This kind of gameplay is also recognized by everyone in small-scale civilian games.
Many people around the gambling stall started placing bets after hearing what she said.
The betting numbers are also varied, ranging from five yuan, ten yuan, to hundreds.
I took out a hundred and pushed it to the Tianmen position.
The woman started playing dice and dealing cards.
I carefully observed it from the side and found that this round was quite clean, with no one cheating.
As soon as the cards are dealt, the three players reveal their cards.
When the woman saw it, she couldn't help but cursed:
"What the hell is this!"
The cards of the three players are not big, the highest is seven and the smallest is four.
And the woman showed the two cards in her hand.
One piece is a three-tube piece, and one piece is a unitary chicken.
