Shen Tang stepped into this gambling stall with the mentality of "getting rich and becoming well-off", with a cheerful smile on her pretty face.
If the background of this world could be visualized...
Her background is probably filled with pink flowers right now...
You can tell her inner joy without looking with your eyes.
When Kang knew the inside story: "..."
How should he speak and express to his lord tactfully - this trip will not only not make him rich, but will make things worse? Will the already poor private treasury suffer heavy losses?
Kangshi wanted to say it several times.
But I swallowed my words several times because of some expectation.
ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas
Then I thought about it, it would be a good thing if this trip could make the lord quit gambling completely and truly understand the truth that "gambling is not a good deed". Kang Shi lowered his eyelids and looked at the ponytail of the lord in front of him, which was swaying behind his head. Yep, thinking like this.
It's better to say it's a gambling stall than a small gambling house.
Gambling stalls are located in simple dwellings in deep lanes.
Kang Shi looked at his lord with meaningful eyes.
Tsk tsk.
The location of this gambling stall is really hidden.
I don’t know how my lord touched this position.
"Lord, wait a minute."
Kang Shi raised his hand to stop Shen Tang who wanted to enter.
"Let's explore it first."
After saying that, he raised his hand to lift the dirty and dirty coarse cloth curtain with no visible original color, and pushed open the wooden door. Although the house was simple, it was not small in size. The hot air was mixed with various smells, and came to his face. , the sound in the house is noisy.
Shen Tang poked his head in and looked around.
He said: "There are so many people."
He tapped the tip of his nose with his fingers.
There were a few wrinkles between his eyebrows: "It tastes great too."
The residential area is not small, but with three or four short gambling tables, with six or seven people at each table, it seems quite crowded. There are also several groups of people playing cockfighting, playing chess, and throwing pots in the corner.
At a glance, everyone can be found in the house.
She still has memories of several faces.
They are all "workmates" on the construction site.
There are many people in the house and there is not much air circulation.
The excitement got so high that some people even took off half of their sleeves and exposed their arms, looking intently at the gambling equipment on the gambling table. Among them, the most people were playing dice. After all, this method of gaming relies more on luck than IQ.
It is relatively friendly to common people with low levels of education.
"Big! Big! Big! Big!"
"Hey! Why are you a kid again?"
"This is the third time I've been small, it's time for a big one!" A certain gambler cursed and took out a "cake stick" and pressed it on it.
“Come again, come again!”
"That's right, aren't you still winning?"
"The next one will definitely turn over!" The gambler counted the "slivers" in his arms, gritted his teeth, and threw one, "Remand the big one! Don't believe it, you can get four small ones in a row! Wait! I will do it this time. Come on, your luck is as smelly as your feet!"
A gambler laughed and joked: "What? Have you smelled it?"
"Bah! That's what Mr. Nai said!"
The appearance of Shen and Tang did not attract any attention.
There are many gamblers coming and going every day, including some well-dressed ones like Shen Tang and Kang Shi.
"Youli, what do you want to play?"
After entering the house, he no longer called Shen Tang "Lord".
If the identity is exposed, it is estimated that before the next day, rumors will spread in the streets that Mr. Shen is "lingering" at the gambling stall, not to mention how angry and roaring his cousin will be after hearing this, and he will also have a negative impact on the common people. Bad guidance effect.
Just do it secretly.
Shen Tang wanted to play dice.
However, there were too many people crowded into each table.
She weighed her body and the smell of everyone else, and chose the "unpopular" items with fewer people.
"What are they playing at?"
Kang Shi glanced at it: "Play chess."
The so-called "playing chess" means that two people each hold a number of black and white chess pieces, place them in a corner of the chess board, and then flick the other side's chess pieces with their fingers until one side's chess pieces are hit and all are taken away. The onlookers can bet two on the side. People win or lose.
The winning side can divide the losing side.
Small gambling stalls cannot afford very good gambling equipment.
The so-called chess pieces are also quite crude and crude.
Kang Shi watched for a while and knew which side was going to lose, but he was not allowed to place bets, nor could he intervene. Once he intervened, he would place a bet - well, the result would not be revealed. His scribe's way had once harmed those who were sure of victory. Gamblers were turned against the odds.
It’s hard to describe the taste in words.
Shen Tang watched for a while to figure out the rules of the game.
"Isn't this similar to Gong Xiqiu's marbles?" The difference is that Gong Xiqiu plays pearls the size of longan, while these gamblers play stones with black and white colors and polished shapes and sizes, which is interesting. Sex is not as big as dice.
As for cockfighting, throwing pots...
Means nothing.
The latter is easy for martial arts practitioners, while the former only reminds Shen Tang of a hundred ways to cook chicken.
It seems like we should just play dice.
"Do you two want to play?" Shen and Tang stood out among a group of rough gamblers. The busboy at the gambling stall showed his yellow teeth that were badly worn and greeted him with a smile, "We have everything here. Yes, do you want to play along?"
Regardless of whether it is a gambling house or a gambling stall, what is targeted is the money of the gamblers. The gamblers are their food, clothing and parents. The difference lies in whether they play big or small. Of course, if the gamblers cannot restrain themselves, the final outcome will be It’s different paths leading to the same destination.
He went bankrupt, sold his sons and daughters, and even became a madam, forcing his wife to work as a prostitute to earn money to pay off debts...
Shen Tang asked Kang Shi: "What do you think?"
Kang Shi: "Small gambling makes you happy, but big gambling is harmful to your health. After playing a few times, you can leave. If you come back too late, your cousin and the others will be worried."
Shen Tang nodded and rolled up his sleeves.
Under the guidance of the handyman, the two went to a gambling table with relatively few people, and they also played dice. There were three dice in a dice cup. After the dealer rolled them, he opened them and calculated the points. The gamblers only needed to place bets at the gambling table. The size is fine, just depends on luck.
The chances are half and half, it depends on your fate to get rich.
Of course, that's what they say.
As for what's fishy inside, the gamblers don't know, or in other words, their ability isn't enough to detect the fishery.
Shen Tang folded his hands on his chest, leaned forward slightly, and looked at the dice cup that had opened the lid. There were three shiny dices lying inside. As it turned out, there were naturally some gamblers at this table. Some people are happy and some are sad, and all living beings have various expressions.
She turned around and invited Kang Shi to come down to the table and play.
hey-hey--
This guy will lose every bet.
As long as you operate in the opposite direction, you will win every bet!
Together, the two of them will be able to sweep the casino invincible!
Shen Tang seemed to have seen all the coins in the gambler's pocket fly into her pocket, and waved enthusiastically to Kang Shi.
Kang Shi smiled helplessly and took out two coins.
Shen Tang said: "You are too stingy."
What can you do with two dollars?
The handyman was also a little disappointed.
His salary is linked to the profit per table.
This young man wearing a scholar's robe looked at Qing Gui. Not only one or two taels of silver, but also a few pieces of broken silver were taken out. After searching for a long time, he finally found two copper coins, which really disappointed his expectations. .So, he turned his attention to Shen Tang.
From what Shen Tang said, this should be a generous owner.
The results of it?
Shen Tang also found two copper coins.
Bet on the opposite place.
Handyman: "..."
These two people dress like dogs, but they are real paupers! Today's prize money is in vain.
The game of dice size is very simple.
Four to ten o'clock is small.
From 11 o'clock to 17 o'clock is the best time.
If three points are shaken out and eighteen points are drawn, the dealer takes all.
In the eyes of many people, size means half and half probability. Keep betting big or keep betting small. Even if you lose a few times in the past, as long as the amount you bet is smaller, you will not suffer serious losses. A comeback.
Even if you don't make a lot of money, you won't lose a lot.
Just like the gambler who was obsessed with "big" just now, he lost five or six "cake sticks" before, and just when "big" opened, he happened to bet on three "cake sticks", and all of a sudden he was He got back half of his money, and next time he bet on four "cake sticks".
Amidst the shouts of all the gamblers, the dice cup was opened.
At three o'clock, the dealer takes all.
Shen Tang: "???"
Kang Shi: "???"
Watching the dealer take away their coins, Shen Tang felt vaguely bad, but he didn't mutter anything.
After all, this can be regarded as "every bet must be lost." Kang Shi lost, but the copper she bet was also eaten.
Kang Shi resisted the urge to hold his forehead.
"Are you still having fun?"
Shen Tang asked back: "Why don't you play?"
She took Kang Shi to the gambling stall just to "get rich and become well-off", not to give sales to the gambling stall owner.
"This time let me place the bet first, and then you place the bet."
A new round of betting is about to begin.
Shen Tang's quick eyes and hands quickly pressed "small".
After the bet was over, he went to "big" and pouted angrily.
Kang Shi: "..."
He also had a vague premonition of something ominous.
But he still did as he was told, but this time he was more cunning.
He only took out a small copper coin.
Shen Tang clenched his fists expectantly.
The other gamblers yelled at the top of their lungs about the size of their choices, and she also murmured in a low voice. When the dealer opened the lid of the dice cup, he saw three neat "sixes", which made people almost dumbfounded. Shen Tang was slightly shocked. He opened his mouth and was speechless for a while.
"Last time there were three ones, this time there are three sixes???"
Is this a beaver???
Very unbeaver!!!
According to the general routine of gambling stalls, shouldn't you wait for the fat sheep to get emotional and spend a lot of money without hesitation, and then kill the customer ruthlessly? Shen Tang looked around and there was no matching "fat sheep", except for the two of them, their expressions were Green and white for a while.
Other gamblers also followed suit and heckled the banker.
"What's going on?"
"What's going on? How could it be such a coincidence?"
Little did they know that the banker was also confused.
It's not that he can't shake three or eighteen, but the chance of success is low. It usually takes several times to get lucky. The two times just now, he didn't use the gambling skills he practiced hard, he just shook it casually. , why just take it all?
He could only smile and said: "Unexpected! What a surprise!"
Shen Tang said: "One more game!"
Other gamblers also followed suit: "One more game!"
"Yeah, don't delay, open again and again!" In the past, it was not impossible to take it all twice in a row. In addition, this group of old gamblers are well-informed, and there is an atmosphere of gambling stalls placed in the crowd. Everyone murmured a few words and then revealed the matter.
Shen Tang rolled up his sleeves again.
He took a picture of three copper coins with bold movements.
Kang Shi shook his head helplessly.
He can already see the results.
But I still followed this round.
I thought this round would be a dramatic three or eighteen, but it turned out to be "big", and the Lord bet on "small" in this round, and Kang Shi won. He collected the lost money from the dealer, He turned to look at the lord whose expression was almost split.
He whispered, "Why don't you leave?"
Shen Tang lowered his head and counted the remaining half of the coins.
Qi said: "Don't do anything in this round, I will do it!"
Kang Shi nodded a little guiltily.
"Okay, it's up to you."
Shen Tang still bet "small" in this round.
As a result, the dealer came again at 18 o'clock.
Shen Tang's face was livid, and he played a few more games in succession. In each game, he bet on "small", a copper coin. As a result, the dealer was either "three o'clock" or "big". Listening to the chirping of other gamblers, The grievance in her heart almost overflowed.
The money bag is empty.
Kang Shi coughed softly and said in her ear: "It's time to go. It's too late to go back. It's hard to deal with other people asking."
Especially Qi Shan and Chu Yao, who like to get to the bottom of their lord's problems whenever they encounter issues related to their lord, are even harder to fool. Kang Shi didn't want to be stumbling upon Qi Shan.
Shen Tang clenched his money bag into a ball.
Take a deep breath and suppress those emotions.
Said: "Let's go, everything is not going well today."
He was muttering in his heart.
Is my luck really that bad?
Unexpectedly, even Kangshi's casino card bug's magical skill - "Every time you bet, you will lose" - can't move her? She failed to make a fortune and become well-off, and even lost the copper she borrowed from Li Li.
Shen Tang was so angry that he opened the curtain of the gambling stall without looking back.
Kang Shi looked at her back and stepped forward to catch up.
After leaving the residence where the hidden gambling stall was located, Shen Tang frowned at first, then relaxed her brows, and was replaced by a look of determination. She ordered Kang Shi in a calm voice.
"Ji Shou, take people to knock down this gambling stall!"
Kang Shi: "???"
Shen Tang tried to cover up the situation by patching it up.
"It's not that I'm stingy and vindictive. It's just that what Ji Shou and Yuan Liang said is right. Gambling is not a good deed. Many of these gamblers are common people who work in the southwest corner during the day. They rely on their daily income. You only earn a day or two of food and clothing from heavy physical work, and you have some spare money saved. Why don't you do anything bad? You have to lose here! Such evil trends must not be encouraged! They must be severely attacked and eradicated! Ji Shou, don't you think so? Is this the truth?"
She thought over her words again in her mind.
Um--
What he said was reasonable and well-founded.
She did all this to save these gamblers who were seduced by gambling! It’s not too late to make amends!
It's not because he was hit by his own bad luck.
"Well, my lord, what you said makes sense."
Kangshi nodded again.
“Very reasonable!”
Although the street was not as warm as the gambling stalls, the air that poured into the tip of her nose was fresh, and the coolness cooled down Shen Tang's swollen brain. She frowned and looked at the empty money bag.
I worry about how to regain my strength.
It's not that she has no money, as long as she asks, she can still get some pocket money from the prison, but Shen Tang feels unhappy because the money she didn't earn with her own hands always feels like it's not hers. The reconstruction of Fugu City is everywhere. She wanted money, even a dozen copper coins, but she was reluctant to embezzle it.
