Having said that, Li Qi has known Hong Tianjiu for so long and still doesn't know where he lives. This eldest brother is really incompetent at his job.
Li Qi followed Hong Tianjiu to the north end of Mahang Street. When they arrived at a busy market, Hong Tianjiu suddenly stopped, pointed forward and said, "Well, that's my home."
Li Qi followed Hong Tianjiu's finger and saw that it was a large house, about three hundred square feet. Although it looked like it should have been built not long ago, Li Qi was still shocked. He had always thought that Hong Wan was gambling.
After all, the casino is also the number one gambling house in Bianjing, with branches all over the city. Hong Tianjiu and his father can be considered at least a generation gambling king. The place where they live should not be worse than Qin Mansion. I never expected that the place where I live is so shabby.
It seems that Xiaojiu's life is not as easy as I imagined. I should not be taking advantage of him all the time.
Li Qi felt very guilty and patted Hong Tianjiu's shoulder apologetically.
Hong Tianjiu glanced at Li Qi curiously and saw that his face was full of guilt and he didn't know why, and said: "Brother Li, what are you doing?"
Li Qi was slightly startled and sighed: "Let's go."
When I arrived in front of the house, I heard roars coming from inside.
"Pure..."
"Pure."
"In front of the curtain."
"East."
"West."
"ah---."
...
What are you doing? Killing a pig.
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw a plaque hanging on the edge of the door with the four characters "Hongwan Gambling House" written on it. He was stunned and said: "Xiaojiu, don't you want to take me to the hotel?"
Are you going to your house? Why did you come to your gambling shop?"
Hong Tianjiu put his head together and said: "It's not all my father's fault. He said that I always didn't like to stay in the gambling house, so he built this gambling house in front of my house, so that every time I go out,
Every time, you must remember that you are the young master of Hongwan Gambling House."
Sweat! This is the front door of his house. It’s so luxurious that I felt guilty for a long time.
Li Qi wiped the cold sweat from his head and laughed secretly. His father was really a character, he could think of such a trick. Hehe laughed and said: "Xiaojiu, you must be your father's biological child." The thinking of these two father and son is really too different.
Like it.
Hong Tianjiu pursed his lips and said, "You don't have to say it. I know it myself."
Li Qi smiled and shook his head, saying: "Go in."
Li Qi opened the curtain and was greeted by a strong strange smell, including the smell of fish, sweat, and the unique smell of blood from butchers. Is this a gambling den or a refugee?
Cave.
Looking around, I found that there were about a dozen tables of different sizes inside, and each table was crowded with people, including fishermen, butchers, hunters, and a few people in uniform. It was really a mixed bag.
But they all have only one identity at this time, that is, gamblers.
Looking at their blood-red eyes, their flag-waving and shouting postures, and their desperate demeanors, Li Qi secretly sighed, it seems that gamblers of all ages have the same moral character.
"Young Master, you are back."
At this time, a fat middle-aged man came over and respectfully addressed Hong Tianjiu.
Hong Tianjiu nodded slightly, pointed at Li Qi and said: "Uncle Hong, this is my brother Li." Then he said to Li Qi: "Brother Li, this is the butler of my family."
Butler Hong glanced at Li Qi, hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "It turns out to be Master Li from Zuixianju. I have admired him for a long time."
Li Qi hurriedly raised his hands and returned the greeting: "Li Qi has met Butler Hong."
Butler Hong suddenly said: "Master Li, do you want to play a few games?"
Hong Tianjiu was stunned and looked at Butler Hong in surprise. The latter quickly gave him a wink and told him to calm down.
When it comes to gambling, Li Qi has always maintained a happy attitude towards small gambling. His favorite games are Big Brother 2 and Thirteen Cards. He rarely plays games like mahjong that use less brain power.
Having said that, Li Qi has been in the Northern Song Dynasty for so long, and this is the first time he has come to this gambling house in the Northern Song Dynasty. He is also quite curious. He has been to Macau and Las Vegas with his father-in-law before. Of course, he just went there to have fun and play.
If you lose the money that you prepared a long time ago, even if you have completed the task, you will not miss it anymore. Hehe smiled and said: "Forget it, just have a look."
Li Qi first went to the table with the most people and took a look. It turned out that this table was playing betting, that is, pushing pebbles, and the dealer used a wooden stick to set aside part of it. Four four points were divided, and the final four was obtained.
Three, two, and one correspond to east, south, west, and north respectively. The punter only needs to place the money in the desired direction. It couldn't be simpler.
I didn't expect this thing to be so popular nowadays.
Li Qi shook his head and sighed. He walked to the table next to him and saw a deck of diamond cards placed on it. His eyes lit up and he exclaimed: "Pai Gow!"
"Brother Li, this is a domino." Hong Tianjiu corrected.
"What do you know?"
Li Qi looked at him with disdain, stood behind the crowd and watched for a while. He saw that the way to play Pai Gow was too simple. It was bigger than the number of points, not even the Double Sky Supreme. He sighed depressedly. It seemed that this domino was
The predecessor of Pai Gow.
Suddenly, I heard shouts from a table behind me, "Hunchun, Hunchun."
Li Qi curiously went over to take a look and saw that the dealer was taking away the jar that was originally placed on the table. He thought it would be dice, but he didn't expect it to be six copper coins. He was shocked and asked curiously: "Xiaojiu, what is this called?"
?”
Hong Tianjiu said in shock: "Brother Li, you don't even know this?"
Li Qi said depressedly: "Is this weird?"
"Yes---it's a little strange."
Hong Tianjiu smiled, and then explained this method of gameplay to Li Qi.
It turns out that this thing is called Guan Pu, which is the most popular gambling method in the Northern Song Dynasty. The gameplay is also very simple. If the back of the copper coin is facing up, it is called "Pure", if the front is facing up, it is called "Makuqian", and if it is all facing up, it is called "
Pure".
Gamblers usually bet on how many "pures" there are. If someone bets on "pures", once it comes out, it will be ten times the profit. In order to compete for this "purity", many people often make clean bets.
, the breeze blows on both sleeves.
childish.
After hearing this, Li Qi quickly made a comment, thinking to himself, it seems that this gambling house in the Northern Song Dynasty is really not that good, there is nothing interesting at all, and the nose has to suffer, so he should dodge as soon as possible. He said: "Little
Nine, let’s go to your house quickly so that your father won’t be impatient.”
Hong Tianjiu had long lost interest in this thing and nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, let's go quickly."
Butler Hong on the side saw Hong Tianjiu's disgusted expression and sighed deeply.
Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard an angry curse coming from inside, "You little bird, how dare you tease you, Grandpa Niu. If you don't give me the money today, you can't even think of leaving."
Li Qi turned around and saw a tall man at least 1.8 meters tall, leaning against the wall in the back, holding a thin man in one hand.
But seeing the big man with full beard, ferocious face, burly figure, strong back and waist, open collar, revealing the black chest hair, the man in his hands was like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered, very pitiful.
"I - I just said it casually, how could you take it seriously?" the man said in a trembling voice.
Hong Tianjiu was curious and asked Butler Hong: "Uncle Hong, what's going on?"
Butler Hong shook his head and said, "I'm not sure." After saying that, he summoned an idle man watching the scene and asked him again.
It turned out that when the man saw the man throwing the pot, he didn't throw it in, so he sarcastically said to the man, saying that I could throw it into the bird hole with my eyes closed. The man said that the man was bragging. When the two got angry, the man actually said
If the big man had thrown it in with his eyes closed, he would have lost ten guan of money. In the end, the man actually threw it in, but the man regretted it and refused to give the money. How could the man be willing to give up? The result turned out like this
.
This kind of thing is too common in gambling houses. Butler Hong said to the idle man: "Since this matter has nothing to do with us, just let them go out and make trouble, so as not to disturb the master's distinguished guests."
The idle man responded and walked towards the big man.
Butler Hong stretched out his hand and said: "Master Li, please."
Ten guan of money? As for that? Li Qi really had no interest in this kind of thing at all. He nodded and followed him towards the back door. As soon as he reached the door, he suddenly heard someone next to him say: "Huh? That guy isn't like that."
Niu Gao, Coach Niu, why is he here?"
Niugao?
Li Qi stopped immediately, raised his eyebrows, and touched his forehead. This excitement could not be missed.
