Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Flower God Dreams
(Thank you for your support and votes, I won't name them one by one here, you are the spiritual pillar of Qilin Coco's hard work, continue to ask for all kinds of things, and you must not sink it.) )
Liu Scar was immediately beaten with chicken blood, and even the eyes of the three lepers were ignored, and he nodded vigorously, but his eyes looked at Xu Sandao: "Today, let's face each other on the six sides, and we will make a decision, you will help Simao cushion 30,000 silver to us, and Simao will pay you 30,000 silver, brother, settle the account." Do you think it's okay for the third child? The implication is naturally to knock the nail back to the foot, forcing Xu Sandao to agree in person, and not to repent, in this way, it is in accordance with the charter discussed with Xu Sandao, he and the three lepers get money, Xu Sandao wants people, but it is no longer the 10,000 taels of silver agreed at that time, but 30,000 taels of silver, and he can charge an extra 20,000 taels on his side, not to mention that the extra 20,000 taels of silver is given by four cents, and it has nothing to do with Xu Sandao.
Xu Sandao was forced to have no way to hide, there was no way to avoid it, and he responded vaguely, and Simao made the boat of friendship between the three of them turn upside down in an understatement.
At this time, he got back to the topic, patted the wooden box on the table and said: "Third brother, this baby is the capital of my business with you, and you can make money every day by relying on it." Speaking of this, he opened the sliding cover of the box with a bang, and the three of them came up in unison.
Inside the box is a very delicate sour branch wood small box, all hollow carved ornaments, in the middle of a shiny copper lock, the lock is also inserted a very small key, four mao gently twisted the key, "snap", the lid of the box popped, neatly stacked with a pile of pale yellow paper, the ink is still new, it is printed on:
It is the New Year in the first month, and before Gen Yu dresses up and goes out, he combs a pearl bun on his head and holds Rongsheng to look at the garden.
In February, he came to sleep in Erqing, Bizhu Caokou was a thief, and he went home to worship the ancestral dragon's merits, such as recruiting military master Zhu Guangming.
In March, he came to March 3, sharpened the kitchen knife Chen Rishan, cut down a three-locust tree, and returned home to Zhang Huoguan.
When he came to sow Tian in April, Kun Shan was originally surnamed Huang, and the business was profitable, and the flower would treasure the green yuan.
In May, when I came to pick up the dragon boat, only the bamboo was in trouble, and Fa Tong's aunt and sister-in-law went to see it, and met Zhou Qingyun in transition.
In June, it is difficult to be hot, under the tree to enjoy the cool field and send grandchildren, the sky snows Li Yuebao, and the father and son of Jipin are the champions.
In July, in the seventh and a half months, Zhang Jiuguan was greedy for money, and he was transferred to Tianshen as the underworld, and he could not be greedy for money.
In August, when the eighth mid-autumn came, the recruiting army lady immediately recruited, and the political shun thief Kou came to greet him, and the supreme king did not obey.
In September, he came to Jiu Chongyang, Pangui Anshi came to discuss, carried a well sword, and went to the deep pit Fang Maolin.
In October, the Taiping Emperor was in the court, and the champion came to worship, and the beauty of Hehai was by his side.
When the winter solstice came in November, the Tianlong monk laughed, Han Yun escaped by the stream, and the Yuan Gui beggar showed talent.
In December, Miss Wanjin came to ask for money, paid off Zhang Yuanji, and then waited for Chen Fengchun in the next year.
Xu Sandao was full of suspicion and reached out to pick up the pile of paper, opened the first one, but not every one of them is not the same, there are dozens of them, printed with all kinds of characters, vivid, both men and women, from the dress point of view, there are emperors, officials, rich people, beggars, merchants, woodcutters, monks, ladies, etc., next to the portrait is also printed with words such as "Renhui, Sanhuai, Jiuguan, Fire Official, Wanjin, Yuanji, Hehai" and so on, all different.
Liu Scar saw that it was not silver, but it was all words and paintings, and he couldn't help but be disappointed and yawned. Sanlezi and Xu Sandao's faces changed slightly, with intuition, they thought that this was some kind of gambling equipment, and they had never seen it before, just looking at the folk song-like song recipe above, catchy, easy to understand, those portraits are the characters that the people like to see, not to mention anything else, it must be able to spread widely and word of mouth soon, and the thought spent on designing and making these objects alone is very unusual.
Xu Sandao put the pile of paper back in the box, and glanced at the three lepers meaningfully, how alert the three lepers were, they would immediately come to their senses, this is actually an eviction order to themselves, and what Xu Sandao and Simao want to talk about next must be confidential, and there must be the only way to win and not lose when opening a casino, otherwise who will make a loss-making deal? Since Simao has offered this treasure, he must have a knack for Xu Sandao to kill the Quartet, and naturally he can't leak it to outsiders. Although curiosity does not die, it is like pressing down a gourd and scooping it up, but he can only reluctantly say goodbye, and pull Liu Scar who is unknown and retreat together.
Xu Sandao saw the two of them out of the hall, and then waved his hand, so that his subordinates were also clean, and the hall door was closed tightly from the outside, Xu Sandao turned around and looked at Simao with a smile: "Tell the third brother, what is hidden in this treasure?" ”
"There is naturally a trick, but the ugly words are in front, I want to make three percent of the profits, and pay off your debts to the third brother."
"Ishei." Xu Sandao's smile did not decrease.
"Sancheng, otherwise there is no need to talk about it." Simao's tone was very firm.
Xu Sandao suddenly smiled and said, "If your baby is really a good thing, it doesn't matter how much it is divided into." ”
Simao had a silly boy's more serious expression: "I don't take advantage of the third brother, don't take advantage of me, you don't take advantage of me, we can talk about anything after the rules are set, we don't play afterthought, and we don't hide that set." ”
Xu Sandao was forced by Simao like this, but it was really a bit of a thirty-six tricks used up, and he couldn't stand the feeling that you only went all the way, so he was helpless to take Simao, and then waved his hand generously: "Yes, it's up to you, three achievements and three percent, when did the third brother treat you badly." ”
Simao then began to introduce the rules of this set of gambling equipment, in fact, it was only in the evening that the evening began to appear and prevail in the world, a bit similar to the lottery play.
The first thing to do is to set up a special place in a remote place, called a flower factory, not limited to the quality of the house, even if it is a reed mat shed, the key is to provide a place for the live lottery, and this place must be very spacious, because the live lottery is often crowded. The reason why it was chosen in a very remote place is, of course, to avoid the eyes and ears of the government, although with Xu Sandao's contacts and interest circles accumulated in opening a casino for so many years, it is easy to get the official errand, but it is still necessary to avoid one or two.
After the venue is ready, it is necessary to print a large number of lottery tickets, that is, the pile of paper in the box, each of these lottery tickets is drawn with thirty-six figures, and are attached to the name and honorific number, representing the thirty-six flower gods, so this gambling method is named the flower club. Lottery players can also bet on the spot, betting at home can also be done, as long as you check the lottery ticket to bet on the god of flowers, single choice and multiple selection, determine their own betting amount, to the casino or the broker who sells lottery tickets after handing over the silver, the lottery ticket is torn apart, one to the casino, one is kept as a credential, when the prize is redeemed, the bottom link in the hand goes to the flower factory to raise the bonus.
The casino owner specially prepares a box, also called "color tube", once a day to open a lottery, in advance in the color tube to put a current period to open one of the thirty-six flower gods, and there can only be one, and then in front of the lottery players sealed locked, sealed, and then hung high on the beam of the color shed, after worshiping the god of flowers, the scene announced the start of the betting, until the next day before the lottery, this color tube can not be opened again, until the time of the bet acceptance, and then in front of the lottery players to check the seal, in public lottery, If you buy it, you will pay 30 times your bet, and if you don't buy it, the casino owner will take it all.
Xu Sandao listened very carefully, and his heart was not in the calculation, after understanding the rules, he asked hesitantly: "This game is very novel, and there is no limit to the number of people, the more the more lively, the size of the bet is not limited, it is easy to circulate, and then arrange more brokers to run the streets and alleys, women and children and the elderly can also bet without leaving home, it is a good way to facilitate gamblers, the betting amount is only afraid that it is not small, but in case it is hit by a one-sided heavy bet, the loss is also a game that can make the third brother and I bankrupt." ”
Simao said with a smile: "This is the same as opening the treasure bureau to sit on the size of the banker's bet, as long as the capital is thick, the dealer will always be the winner, because your winning side is thirty-six bets one, gamblers are one bet thirty-six." Who loses and who wins? Secondly, even if I really hit a heavy bet, I have a way to steal the beam at the moment of the draw. It's just that it is not a last resort, and it is easy not to do this trick, after all, this kind of gambling dealer is a sure deal. ”
Xu Sandao couldn't help nodding after listening, after all, he has been in the casino industry for half his life, of course he knows the truth that Simao said, if Simao can steal the beam and change the pillar, it will be more and more a matter of Sun Wukong beating Zhu Bajie and winning steadily. It's just that what is the method of stealing beams and changing pillars, according to the rules of the casino, this is what the boss can't ask, the master of the town is relying on this secret to eat, of course, he must treasure himself with secret skills: "In this case, let's make a decision, the master of my field is none other than Simao, I will arrange and prepare, the sooner we open, the better." ”
Simao nodded: "A word is a certainty, and the cooperation is pleasant." ”
"Hey, I'll ask you by the way, did you come up with this bet yourself or where did you learn it?" Xu Sandao said curiously.
Simao said with a hippie smile: "The flower god asked me for a dream, and there is only this one, there is no other semicolon." ”
