Chapter 9 Heaven and Earth Gambling House
"You're in charge here?" The man was about forty years old, short and a little fat, a little bloated, and looked ordinary, but there was shrewdness in his eyes, and he was worthy of being a person in a gambling house. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"In Xia Wang Ming, it is here who is in charge, I don't know what the prince has to do."
Li Qingcheng smiled, "Aren't your gambling houses looking for new ways to play?" ”
Next Li told him about the landlord and the rules, the landlord game is to be carried out by 3 players, a deck of 54 cards, one of which is the landlord, the remaining two are the other side, the two sides play, the first to finish the card wins. The cards are divided into four suits, clubs, spades, spades, cubes, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety, JQKA two, big ghosts, small ghosts, in addition to the big and small ghosts, each card is four, can be done straight, bomb, three with one, etc.
Wang Ming was dumbfounded when he heard it, this was indeed a good novelty to play, and he felt eager to try it just by listening to it. "I don't know what to call Childe."
"In Xia Liqing, this is my brother Lixiao." Li Chengcheng had already seen the admiration in Wang Ming's eyes, and knew that most of the things had been successful, "I don't know that Wang is in charge, but I am still satisfied." ”
"Satisfied, Chen Chun, take the silver." Wang Ming nodded again and again, and immediately asked someone to take the silver, he already understood Li Qingcheng's intention.
"Wait." Wang Ming looked at Li Chengcheng puzzled, didn't he want silver?
Li Chengcheng explained to Wang Ming that she wanted to stay with Xiaodoubao, and every month she would take a commission from the money earned by the landlord. Of course, she also wants the one hundred taels of silver, besides, who said that there is only one way to play to fight the landlord.
Wang Ming didn't dare to make decisions without permission, saying that he was going to tell the master. It's also a shame that Wang Ming didn't directly agree to Li Qingcheng, otherwise he and she would have to think that this was a trap, after all, her request was almost unreasonable.
Xiao Doubao has already admired the star eyes, "Brother, you are so powerful, but will they agree to your request?" ”
"Yes." If their boss is shrewd enough, he will agree to the request. It seems to be an unreasonable request, but in fact, in addition to the one hundred taels of silver, she and Xiaodoubao only have two more dishes and chopsticks when they stay, no matter how you look at the landlord, it is very novel, it will definitely cause a sensation, and she doesn't have a lion to open her mouth, and it is not much profit to only mention one layer from the inside.
Sure enough, Wang Ming's boss is an understanding person. Wang Ming took Li Tingcheng and Xiaodoubao to the third floor, originally Wang Ming arranged two rooms for them, but Li Tingcheng refused, she had to put Xiaodoubao under her nose to feel at ease.
Heaven and earth gambling house is very large, divided into three floors, the first floor is very popular, mainly single and double, dice, four doors of square treasure, fan stall, flip bucket, etc., the second floor is relatively clean and elegant, there are also separate private rooms, six games, Yi chess, Hu painting, addition and subtraction, size of the elephant play, playing chess, it feels similar to the modern teahouse. The third floor is the place to stay, but the world gambling house has a backyard, which is the accommodation of small servants, dealers, and thugs.
After settling down, Li Qingcheng wrote down the rules of fighting the landlord in detail, but Wang Ming wrote it, and she read it. She doesn't know how to write this soft pen, and writing it is also a dog crawling word.
"Uncle Wang," Wang Ming asked Li Qingcheng to call him Uncle Wang, "I wonder if you have any hard paper here?" ”
She didn't know if the paper here was soft and hard enough, and if it was soft, it would definitely not work, and the other party could see through the opponent's cards at a glance. I am afraid that there is no such high technology in ancient times, and she has thought about using bamboo strips, but bamboo strips are such a large card, and it is not convenient to hold them in her hand.
Li Tingcheng and Wang Ming put forward the requirements for making playing cards, and wrote the letters and numbers on the cards, but Wang Ming and they did not recognize Arabic numerals, so for the convenience of the public, Li Tingcheng had to change it to one, two, three. The rest will be handed over to Wang Ming, but she shouldn't take care of it. Li Chengcheng told him to make two decks of cards first, rare is expensive, people must be very fresh at first, and when they are almost tired of it, she introduces another way to play. Are you still afraid that the silver will not come to your hand obediently?
Unexpectedly, Wang Ming's efficiency was quite high, and he took the two decks of cards two days later. Wang Ming said that this is mulberry paper, which has a strong texture and is available in yellow and white. Because there is a component of mulberry bark in the raw materials of papermaking, it is called mulberry paper.
The classic books of the Southern Empire were basically mulberry paper as pages, which were beautiful in appearance and feel. Mulberry paper is divided into four grades according to quality, the first and second grades are thick and white for high-grade calligraphy and painting paper, and the third and fourth grades are thin and soft. The playing cards are selected to be second-class, with moderate hardness and softness.
I didn't expect that there was this technology in ancient times, Li Qingcheng touched the playing cards, this is the only modern thing she can feel, it is too familiar.
"Uncle Wang, you go and call two people, and I will teach them to beat the landlord." Although I told them the rules, after all, they were too rigid, and they wouldn't understand it if they hadn't been exposed to it, so it was better to teach them by themselves.
"This is Zhao Cheng, this is Sun Mao, the two of them are the number one in the gambling house, and the things they learn to play are easy to use." Wang Ming quickly found two people, Zhao Cheng was very fat, but Sun Mao was very thin.
Li Tingcheng nodded and motioned for them to sit down. began to teach them in earnest.
"I've got two cards left, can you afford me to finish playing?" Li Qingcheng shook his head when he saw them, threw down the two twos, and won completely.
Sure enough, Zhao Cheng and Sun Mao learned things quickly, and they had already memorized them before they taught them. If you hadn't been able to play before, you wouldn't have won the hand.
Zhao Cheng and Sun Mao's hearts were boiling, although they had played a lot of other games before, but they were not so enjoyable, this poker card was really a good thing.
It is also strange to say that the gambling house of heaven and earth is only open during the day, and it closes at night, which is very different from the gambling house imagined by Li Chengcheng, and it is not so mixed, and the gamblers who come and go are quite well-behaved, and it may be that there are so many thugs in the gambling house, and they dare not make a mistake. That's fine, the world gambling house is just her and Xiaodoubao two women, although they are now men, but it's better to be careful.
Wang Ming plans to launch poker tomorrow, as early as these two days people are asking, before the world gambling house fanfare looking for new ways to play, those gamblers have a lot of ideas, but no one's ideas have been adopted, two days ago Wang Ming said that he has found a new idea, people are very curious, but did not specify what is the new way to play, is to make them interested enough.
Wang Ming only arranged for her and Xiaodoubao to stay, but did not let them do anything, she felt that they were just looking for a place to stay, although it was planned like this at the beginning, but would it be too wishy-washy? She vaguely felt that Wang Ming took good care of her, and Li Chengcheng became more and more curious about their masters.
Li Qingcheng counted how much silver they had, Wang Ming gave her a hundred taels of silver that day, before calling her mother to give her ten taels of silver, that day she threw a tael to the innkeeper, plus she had some broken silver, these days she and Xiaodoubao bought a few sets of clothes and spent three taels, carefully took out twelve or five taels of silver and packed it in a money bag, and had to find a time to return the money to the mother, and the extra five taels were equivalent to the interest given to her.
