Chapter Eighty-Seven: Addiction
Zhang Bao'er stood there with his hands in his hands, he looked at Li Zhiying and said: "I just said so much, there is no other meaning, you are different from others, as long as Tiantong Gambling House exists for a day, you can come to gamble, and they don't dare to treat you as a pig, but there is a little scary, you may never realize it!" ”
"What?" Li Zhiying asked subconsciously. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"After gambling for a long time, human nature will change, and everything will be considered with the psychology of gambling. The abolished prince Li Chongjun, you should be no stranger, he is a living example! ”
Li Nunu was surprised: "You know him?" ”
Zhang Bao'er's eyes flashed Mu Qian's smiling face, he shook his head, sighed and said, "I don't know, but I heard that he is also addicted to gambling!" Where to go, think for yourself! If you want to stop, it's still too late. If you don't want to stop, it doesn't matter, anyway, this Tiantong gambling house is also your Li family's own industry! ”
Zhang Bao'er smiled at Li Zhiying: "Okay, I'm done!" ”
After that, Zhang Baoer threw down a few people and walked towards the gambling house again.
"Wait!" Li Zhiying called out to Zhang Baoer.
Zhang Baoer turned around.
Li Zhiying stared at Zhang Baoer and didn't say anything, Zhang Baoer could see that Li Zhiying's inner struggle was very fierce.
For a long time, Li Zhiying thought that the gambling house was just a place for recreation, and the first time he heard it, there were so many insiders. Zhang Baoer's shock to Li Zhiying tonight is far greater than the day when Zhang Baoer outwitted the blue-shirted boy.
Thinking that he came to the gambling house every day, but was teased like those pigs, Li Zhiying suddenly became happy.
People's habits are not formed in a day or two, so let Li Chiying just stop, she is unwilling, and she doesn't know what to use to fill this gap.
As if to guess Li Zhiying's thoughts, Zhang Baoer said mysteriously: "Let's make a deal, if you are willing to stop, then tonight is the last bet, I will give you a chance, let you taste the feeling of winning every hand." How is it? ”
Li Zhiying thought for a moment and smiled: "Okay, deal!" ”
"We have to say okay, with a limit of 1,000 taels of silver!" Zhang Baoer admonished.
"No problem!" Li Zhiying agreed very happily.
When Li Zhiying entered the casino again, there was already a bookkeeper who brought her silver taels.
Li Zhiying glanced at Mr. Bookkeeper: "No, I brought silver!" ”
In the surprised gaze of the account room, Li Zhiying first came to the dice throwing table.
Li Zhiying is really extraordinary, like a divine help, betting one hundred taels of silver per hand, and winning nine in a row.
Tenth, Li Zhiying thought for a while, and did not place another 100 taels, but only 10 taels.
Zhang Baoer, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but shake his head, it seems that Li Zhiying enjoys this feeling of winning very much, and changing the bet of ten taels of silver is equivalent to ten more chances to win.
Zhang Baoer said first, Li Zhiying's win is limited to 1,000 taels, and now she has not exceeded it, so she can only continue to help her.
The dealer is already sweating profusely at the moment, he has been a banker in the gambling house for so long, and his luck has never been so weak, and he has not won a handful.
After the dealer finished rolling the dice again, Zhang Baoer made a gesture to Uncle Liu beside him, Uncle Liu glanced at Li Nunu, and Li Nunu whispered to Li Zhiying, and several people passed messages to each other, and the cooperation was seamless.
"I'm betting big!" Li Zhiying dropped ten taels of silver.
The dealer unveiled the bowl, and it was really big.
Li Zhiying jumped up with joy, happy like a child.
But the dealer was not happy at all, and his face was green.
After a while, Li Zhiying won nine more in a row.
Just when Zhang Baoer thought that there was still the last handful left, Li Zhiying changed her tactics again, and she only bet one or two silver.
Zhang Baoer's teeth itch with hatred, isn't this making fun of herself?
But Li Zhiying still did not violate the agreement between them, Zhang Baoer could only be patient and accompany her to continue gambling.
Finally, Li Chiying won ten consecutive games again.
When she was still unprepared to bet, Li Nunu said in her ear: "Yingying, I have won a thousand taels, he is gone!" ”
Li Zhiying came back to her senses at this time, looked up, and sure enough, Zhang Baoer was gone. She handed over the silver to Uncle Liu to exchange for silver tickets, and hurriedly chased after Li Nunu outside the gambling house.
There is a wonton stand on the street opposite the entrance of Tiantong Casino, which is specially prepared for those gamblers.
Gamblers who can eat a bowl of wontons here are lucky, at least they still have copper plates on them to eat wontons.
And some gamblers can only look at the steaming iron pot, and then swallow saliva and stagger away. There is no doubt that such a gambler is penniless.
It is said to be a wonton stand, but in fact it is just a burden.
This burden is really a very distinctive thing, a wooden burden, and he picked up all the household belongings and walked around. The wonton is about six or seven feet long, and the two ends of the burden are square, regular and steady, and all this is hidden in the cubes at these two ends.
At one end of the burden was a stove with a strong fire and an iron pot with water. At the other end of the burden, there are about three layers of drawers, about one layer of mixed meat and prepared wonton wrappers, one layer of dishes and chopsticks, and another layer where some seasonings should be placed.
There is also a mystery in the middle of the burden, the stall owner can get up and take the flat burden at any time, if it is put down, a wooden board can be rotated and placed, that is, it becomes a small table, and the meat filling and wonton wrappers and other things can be placed on it. In addition to this, a foldable wonton table and maza are hung on the pole for customers to use when eating wontons.
The wontons at the entrance of the gambling house are very authentic, and the boiling broth is the key to whether the wontons are delicious or not. It just so happens that the broth of this stall owner is very particular, it is made of pork bones boiled and stewed, and the aroma of cooking is tangy, and the saliva of people who have been hooked from afar is rising, but when you look closely, it is as clear as white water without oil flowers.
"Uncle He, let's have a bowl of wontons!" Zhang Baoer seems to be familiar with the stall owner.
"Great!" Uncle He readily agreed.
"Wait!" Li Nunu pulled Li Zhiying over and said to Uncle He: "And us, let's have three bowls!" ”
Zhang Bao'er smiled slightly, pointed to Mazha next to her, and motioned for the two to sit down.
Uncle He is honest and honest, but he works quickly, while opening the pot of boiling water, grabbing a few handfuls of wontons and throwing them into the pot where the water is boiling, he is very old-fashioned, a handful of wontons is just a bowl. Then gently stir with a spoon, the soup is clear and white smoke curls.
Cover the pot, pick up several large bowls and line them up, pour the homemade seasoning into it, and finally scoop up a spoonful of solidified lard with a spoon.
When I opened the lid of the pot where the soup was boiling, a scoop of hot stock poured down, and the seasoning at the bottom of the bowl was flushed, and the solidified lard turned into fragrant grease in an instant.
The small stove is hot, and the wontons in the boiling water are ready to come out of the pot, so use a colander to scoop up the wontons and drain them and put them in the soup.
At that moment, the soup was white, the green onions, the sauce red, the freshness of the bone broth, the fragrance of the lard and the smallness of the wontons, a bowl of steaming, fragrant wontons, and it was done.
