Three days later, Yaozhou City, at the end of Youshi.
When it got dark, Chai Yan came outside Xingyuan Gambling House.
Just as he was about to go in, he heard a call from one end of the street: "Brother Mu!"
Chai Yan turned around and saw that the person calling him was Secretary Wang, who was striding toward the entrance of the gambling house with his hands waved.
Chai Yan immediately went over to greet him, cupping his fists and saying, "Brother Wang."
"Brother Mu, you are really a punctual person." Secretary Wang said with a smile.
Chai Yan smiled modestly and said, "Brother Wang, isn't it the same?"
"Hahaha..." Secretary Wang laughed loudly, and then said: "It's all, it's all!"
Upon seeing this, Chai Yan said: "Brother Wang, look at how you look today, you seem to be in a good mood..."
Secretary Wang said: "No, I have been so busy these days that I have not had time to come here. I have been feeling itchy for a long time. Now that I have finally come, I am naturally in a great mood! Hahaha..."
After saying that, Secretary Wang laughed again.
Chai Yan also laughed, thinking that Secretary Wang was really obsessed with gambling.
After laughing, Secretary Wang suddenly whispered: "Actually, there is another reason..."
"Oh?" Chai Yan looked at him immediately.
Secretary Wang looked around before saying: "My brother has made a small fortune these past two days. Here tonight, my brother is not as confident as last time!"
"That's it! Congratulations to Brother Wang..."
Chai Yan just congratulated him, but did not inquire about the reason for his small fortune. Secretary Wang was still very satisfied with this.
After chatting for a while, Secretary Wang and Chai Yan walked into Xingyuan Gambling House.
At this time, there were already a lot of people in the gambling room, but there were still empty seats at some gambling tables. Secretary Wang was very sharp-eyed and immediately pointed to a table and said: "Brother Mu, how about going to that table first and taking a look?"
"good."
Chai Yan immediately nodded in agreement, and the two of them walked towards the gambling table together.
After walking a few steps, Li Datou suddenly appeared in front of him. He held a bulging velvet bag with his fingers and greeted with a smile: "Hey, it's Brother Wang and Brother Mu. I haven't seen you for a few days. Are you going?
Have you played elsewhere?"
Secretary Wang smiled slightly, glanced at the money bag in his hand, and asked: "Brother Li, it seems that you are lucky today! You have won so much, the money bag can no longer hold it..."
"Ah..." Li Datou was stunned for a moment, then looked down at his money bag, and then said with a proud smile: "It's not bad, it's not bad. I'd like to borrow Brother Wang's good words."
After saying that, Secretary Wang smiled, clasped his fists, and prepared to walk away.
"Brother Wang..." Unexpectedly, Li Datou stopped Secretary Wang again.
Secretary Wang asked patiently: "Brother Li, is there anything else?"
Li Datou smiled and asked: "Brother Wang, I wonder which table you want to try your luck at today's first table?"
Just as Secretary Wang wanted to speak directly, he suddenly changed his mind and said, "I haven't thought about it for the moment. What do you think, brother Li?"
Li Datou pointed sideways at a gambling table at the back and said, "Brother Wang, that table at Fan Tan was pretty good today. I won all these from there!"
As Li Datou said this, he weighed the money bag in his hand, and the silver inside immediately made a crisp impact.
"Really?" Secretary Wang smiled slightly, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Brother Li, for reminding me, we will definitely go and take a look soon!"
Li Datou clasped his fists in return: "Then don't disturb Brother Wang and Brother Mu. See you later..."
Chai Yan also clasped his fists and said a few polite words.
Then, Li Datou walked away and quickly joined the gambling game at a table not far away.
Only then did Chai Yan ask: "Brother Wang, what is the Fan Tan he was talking about about gambling?"
"Oh, you ask about Fan Tan..." Secretary Wang looked at the table and replied, "It's just for guessing odd and even numbers!"
Chai Yan asked: "How do you guess?"
When Secretary Wang heard Chai Yan ask this question, he knew that he had never played before, so he took Chai Yan to the Fantan table, and while watching the gambling in progress, he explained to Chai Yan the rules of betting on Fantan.
The dealer grabbed a small bowl in his left hand and a slender bamboo pole in his right hand. There was a pile of white chess pieces not far away, which at first glance looked like Go pieces.
I saw the dealer covering some white pieces with a small bowl, and then quickly slid the bowl directly in front of him. Then the slender bamboo pole began to hit the bowl and the table, shouting "Buy and leave".
...
The center of the gambling table is the betting area. A huge Tian character is printed on it, and the words "one, two, three, and four" are printed on the four grids respectively; on both sides of the central Tian character, on the left
There is also a box with the word "single" printed inside, and the same is true on the right side, but with the word "double" printed inside.
At this time, gamblers began to place bets one after another, some bet "one, two", some bet "three, four", but more people chose to bet on odd and even, which is the same as the size of the bet.
Very similar.
Secretary Wang told Chai Yan that after a while the banker would open the bowl and use a bamboo pole to count the white stones inside, four by one, until there were four or less than four left.
When Chai Yan heard this, he immediately understood. Isn't this the kind of gameplay that appears in ancient costume martial arts dramas...
Chai Yan asked: "Brother Wang, what are we holding?"
Secretary Wang said: "Don't worry, you need to read a few times to understand the rules first."
So Chai Yan nodded.
While talking, the bets had been placed on the table, and the dealer shouted and opened the small bowl.
Next, the dealer began to use thin bamboo poles to remove the white stones in groups of four. After three times, there were only three white stones left under the bowl.
"Single three! Look clearly, this is the single three!"
At this time, a gambler who bet on the word "three" cheered happily, and there were also several gamblers who bet on "odd" who also looked happy.
As for the others, they were either frustrated or shaking their heads helplessly, and some were cursing.
Chai Yan asked curiously: "Brother Wang, how much can he win if he bets on 'three'?"
Secretary Wang's eyes immediately dilated and he said seriously: "Three times!"
"Three times? That's so much?" Chai Yan said in surprise.
Secretary Wang smiled and said: "More is more, but it's not easy to win! Look at the number of people at a table, there should be more people guessing odd and even numbers. This is the same as betting on big or small!"
Next, Chai Yan and Secretary Wang looked at two more, one was a single, and the other was a double four.
After looking at it for a long time, Secretary Wang felt itchy in his heart. He turned around and asked, "Brother Mu, have you understood it already? I want to place a bet!"
"I understand, Brother Wang!" Chai Yan planned to continue using the follow-up tactic.
The next moment, the dealer covered a pile of white stones, quickly slid to the top of the betting area, and shouted: "Buy, buy, single or even, almost bought..."
Secretary Wang had already held some silver in his hand. Before he finished speaking, he put a small piece on the word "二".
Chai Yan was stunned for a moment and immediately asked: "Brother Wang, why don't you bet on odd or even?"
