Chapter 178: Fighting Theater

"Brother, this is what you call the way to get money quickly?" Lu Yan looked at the shop in front of him, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

This thing has existed for a long, long time. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were actually many styles of fighting. The most common ones are cockfighting or dog fighting. For indoor games, the main ones are Liubo, Chu Pu and Pitching Pot.

Of course, there are dice, but not six-sided dice. The six-sided dice, Liu Tao vaguely remembered that it was invented by Cao Zhi.

If there is a fight, there is naturally a place that makes money by fighting, and the problem is not called a gambling house at this time. However, to make money by fighting tricks has actually taken on the nature of a gambling house.

The place where Liu Tao took the other three people at the moment is the gambling house in Luoyang, and it is also a low-grade fighting theater in an ordinary residential area.

"Isn't it pleasant?" Liu Tao pointed to this fighting workshop, "In less than half an hour, it is estimated that the principal can be doubled." ”

"Brother, you should know very well that fighting this thing is risky." Lu Yan reminded.

"Risk, of course there is risk!" Liu Tao nodded, "So I chose here first, after all, even if there is a risk, I can avoid losing too much." If it turns out to be okay, then I'm going to Suzaku Street. ”

Zhuque Street is the largest commercial street in Luoyang, and it is naturally the most prosperous street with the most wealthy people. The fighting theater that can be opened here must be the largest and the largest background.

Naturally, fighting here, the chips are too small, and others probably won't let you play.

"Don't say more...... Liu Tao took out a piece of gold cake in his sleeve, "Just one piece, if we lose, we will leave, if we win...... Hmm...... Win five dollars like this, and we'll go. ”

"If it's just a piece......" Lu Yan really didn't seem to have any reason to object, the key is that it's not bad if it's just playing, after all, this is also a place where you can relax a little.

At this time, the store's methods are still very primitive, there are almost no means, and many even provide a place and equipment, and collect some commissions and venue fees from customers.

When Liu Tao entered, the first thing he had to choose was an opponent, an opponent who was willing to fight with him. Then choose the type of fighting, and finally decide the chips each, after the fighting, pay the equipment and venue fees, and then change to continue.

It's more primitive, but basically, it's fair.

As soon as I entered the store, most of the customers here took a look. This kind of fighting theater is basically a regular customer, so when you look at it, you know that the four new people are new faces.

Those who are fighting will naturally continue, and those who are still idle will naturally come forward to talk.

"First time?" One of the middle-aged men leaned over and said, "What are you good at?" ”

"Cangshan, what are you good at?" Liu Tao looked at Lu Yan, "I remember that you used to play with the calamus." ”

"It's a little bit of fun...... Not very good at it. Lu Yan said in a low voice.

Why do you know Oak because his father taught him this? Why did Lu Zhi know, because Lu Zhi once asked Ma Rong for knowledge, and the latter taught Lu Zhi this.

Ma Rong is a great Confucian, and he is also a master of scripture, but he is also good at Pupu, and has a song "Pupu Fu".

"It's also very good, I just like it, let's have a game?" When the other party heard this, he immediately became excited and stepped forward to say.

"Just play casually......," Liu Tao said in a low voice, "consistently, don't have any burden." After fighting for so long, it's good to relax appropriately. ”

It feels like at least the fighting drama of this era is healthier than going to the Qinglou or something.

Lu Yan nodded when he heard this, and he didn't ask Liu Tao for money, after all, he also had some change on him, so he went to start the game with the middle-aged man, of course, the equipment was rented from the store.

"Pitchers or cockfights or whatever, can there?" Liu Tao approached the shopkeeper to ask.

"Cockfighting needs to be prepared by the guests themselves, the store does not provide it, the pot is poured, but there is little play, mainly Liubo and Pu." The shopkeeper shook his head, if he really had this capital, he would not open a store in the civilian area.

After thinking about it, he proposed: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it, you don't need to really get out of the game, you just need to vote for five woods, and you can see the number of picks, and more people in the store will play this!" ”

The five woods of the cattail, in fact, are the 'dice', which are made of five pieces of wood, which is also the source of the 'canopus'. One side is blacked out, and there is text on the other. Throw it out, and determine the number of 'picks' according to the pros and cons of the 'dice' and the text.

In terms of rules, Liu Tao probably knows something.

"Okay, who's going to play with the cattails? If you don't play the overall situation, you can use the number theory! Liu Tao shouted.

"I'm coming, how big is it?" As soon as he finished speaking, a young man stepped forward.

"How big can you play?" Liu Tao asked rhetorically, thinking about directly placing a piece of golden cake, but he was worried that the other party would not be able to afford it.

"A hundred at most." The latter hesitated for a moment, then opened a number.

"Okay, it's just a hundred." Liu Tao nodded, and then took out a hundred Wen, deducting the gold cake from his sleeve, and three hundred Wen change, mainly to deal with this situation.

The young man didn't confirm it, so he picked up the five woods and threw them, the five trees fell to the ground, the black and white pheasants, the black is a piece of wood, the other two are facing up, and the words on them are 'white' and 'pheasant'.

This is the 'tower color', which can be done in 5 steps, which is a bit of a sense of not being up or down.

"Oh, bad luck!" The young man shook his head, this is not up or down, it is very aggrieved.

"Maybe I'm even worse off than you?" Liu Tao smiled, picked it up and threw it away, white white pheasant, for 'white color', can go 8 steps. Judging from the number of lotteries, it is naturally higher than the 'tower lottery'.

"Alas...... You won......" The young man shook his head and pushed the chips to Liu Tao. Don't forget, you also have to pay gambling equipment and venue fees, which is not much, only five cents. The more chips you have, the more you earn.

In this way, Liu Tao also earned ninety yuan, but all this only took less than a minute.

"Who else?" Liu Tao immediately asked, naturally more people came over, after all, this thing is simple, and the money comes quickly.

Basically, those who came back at this time were planning to make money by fighting, rather than enjoying the game.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm full of luck today......" About half an hour, Liu Tao apologized to everyone, "I'm afraid to use up all the luck in my life, and I'm here today." ”

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Lu Yan, there were at least 300 Wen in the past half an hour, and one or two were depressed.

On the contrary, Liu Tao earned ten times, which is enough for a gold cake. At the same time, he also realized that there was no way to continue, and others were already a little suspicious.
