Gambling is not the same as labor, it symbolizes a certain degree of unearned gain.

Therefore, although the vast majority of gamblers are losers, there is still no stopping their love for gambling.

"Arnold, what are you going to bet on?" asked Daniel.

The young man who came from no, still carrying his heavy package, watched quietly from the side and did not speak.

The other people in the tavern, seeing Arnold's appearance, surrounded him.

They all knew Arnold and wanted to see what this bad gambler would win with every gamble.

As for Arnold himself, although he still has the excitement of gambling, he has no pressure.

Because...... He took the money to do things, and the gambling money was provided by the young man next to him. Even in addition to gambling money, you can get a not too small reward.

Of course, he doesn't value the reward, and he can bet on (harmony), which is already the happiest thing for him.

"Compare this to this!" Arnold said, pulling out a bag of Monopoly and laying the canvas on the table.

"What is this?" asked Daniel.

"It's Monopoly! My newfound goodie! I'm very lucky with it! If you're afraid of losing, don't play it!" Arnold said arrogantly.

"Monopoly?" Daniel repeated, "even the kids on the street know Arnold can't win, and I'm going to see if your luck is really that good!"

Daniel gulped down his Newcastle beer.

In the UK, in London, drinking beer is a very normal thing.

It's not that the British like to drink heavily, of course, after drinking for so many years, even people who don't like to drink too much love to drink too much.

More crucially, while the Industrial Revolution brought prosperity to Britain, it was also polluting.

In London, drinking raw water is tantamount to killing yourself.

Boil water to drink, although it is also useful.

However, even if the water has been polluted, even if it is boiled, it still has a strong strange smell.

Because, along with the Industrial Revolution, there was a strong demand for tea in the British.

At first, they just used tea to cover up the strange smell, and then they gradually fell in love with tea.

Most hobbies, at the beginning, have actual needs, and only later on, will they be alienated.

Beer, like tea, is actually a safe drink for water.

However, counterfeiting has accompanied the history of human development.

After the Industrial Revolution, there were more and more ways of counterfeiting, and the scale of counterfeiting became larger and more profitable.

Therefore, tea, beer, which are relatively safe, also have a large number of fakes.

If you really want to talk about safety, there is really no safety for fakes that can even deceive the taste buds in the past.

Only if you are strong enough to decide that your food and drink in London is safe.

Even the British royal family is often inevitably tricked.

Of course, the quickest and most effective way to solve food safety is not to prohibit the manufacture and sale of counterfeit goods.

Rather, it is to develop a set of standards for fakes, make them reasonable and legal, and incidentally incorporate them into the tax system.

You know, in the past, adding hops to beer is considered a fake beer.

After all, when the vast majority of people eat fakes, fakes become genuine.

"Bring me a dog too. Arnold shouted to the bartender.

Newcastle is the number one brown beer in the UK, and it is said that there is a rich man who loves it, but there is no way to drink it at home.

Therefore, he took advantage of the daily walk to the dog and secretly went to the tavern to drink.

In this way, when you are in a tavern, "a dog" or "a dog is the same as a Newcastle brown beer".

Arnold tasted Newcastle, although it tasted a little strange, like something exchanged, but he didn't really care.

In London, wanting to drink a save without ingredients is as strange as a prostitute (harmony) woman is a virgin.

It's not necessarily impossible, but it's a very unlikely time.

Arnold began to introduce the gameplay of "Monopoly" with the strength of wine, "Buy land, sell land, buy stocks, run a business, the loser who goes bankrupt, and the one who wins in the end is Monopoly! Let's bet on who will become Monopoly!"

Arnold threw twenty shillings on the table the equivalent of a pound sterling and said, "It's a bet!"

After saying that, he looked at Daniel defiantly, only to see that Daniel took out the same twenty shillings in pain.

Today's Britain is still a genuine gold standard.

Theoretically, the standard unit of currency in the UK is the pound sterling, which contains about seven .3 grams of gold.

However, in everyday circulation, the face value of the pound is simply too large.

The big one is like buying sesame seeds with an elephant, and this elephant can't be split yet.

Thus, the elephant, no, the pound sterling, had two coins, one being a shilling.

One pound sterling is equal to twenty shillings.

However, even if it is 0.73 grams of gold, it is still not small in daily use.

Thus, one shilling could be exchanged for twelve pence.

For example, Arnold just asked for a cup of Newcastle brown beer, and the price in the tavern was only a penny.

Alexander-Arnold took out a bet to buy 240 cups of Newcastle.

Even if it's two cups a day, you can drink it for three months.

Of course, although the people in the tavern need to pay for it every day, there are very few who can immediately calculate that the bet is equal to 240 cups of Newcastle.

No way, although Britain was the first country on earth to enter the industrial revolution, the units inherited from the past are still too complex and changeable.

However, for the decision-makers in the UK, although it is a little inconvenient to use.

However, in this era, Britain was the most developed country.

Since Britain has used it, it is advanced.

This spirit of self-victory, even if there is contrast, does not hurt.

Daniel chose a piece that matched his temperament, a small hat carved from wood that looked delicate. Arnold chose the wooden puppy.

The game begins, and the dice are rolled to determine the order in which they will set off.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted, "Whoever wins the two of them will be able to drink 480 cups of Newcastle with the money they win." ”

"That'...... Wouldn't you be able to drink for a year if you win?"

"I want to compare too!"

"You, you have the money to pay twenty shillings. ”

With bets, no matter how ordinary the game is, it can become tense and exciting.

The rhythm of the game is a little tepid, but against the backdrop of 480 glasses of wine, it is particularly exciting.

The hours passed quickly.

Arnold, who had been introduced to the skills by the youngsters in advance, won by a narrow margin.

Arnold looked at Daniel, who looked like a defeated dog, like an eagle, "Do you want to play a game?"

Daniel, who was already familiar with the game and felt that he had a chance, gritted his teeth and nodded lightly.

Arnold smiled and said, "This game is played by many people, and the bet is twenty shillings, is there anyone else who wants to play it? God willing, the winner takes all, if there are many people who play it, the last Monopoly will be able to drink Newcastle for ten years." ”

"I'm coming!"

"I'm coming!"

"I'll do it too!"
