Chapter Thirty-Six: Eight Pounds of Unlucky Dead Friends
Over the next two days, there were more and more people in the tea shop. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info I heard that Meng Ji Tea House has come up with a new way to play allegro, and there is also a new script called "Journey to the West".
In order to have a good position, many people come early in the morning to occupy the seat. Before dawn, when the Mengji Tea House had not yet opened, there were people waiting outside. Even, in order to grab a good position, some tea customers did not hesitate to fight.
Seeing this situation, Chen Yang was very happy in his heart. It's a pity that he didn't count the tea shop, otherwise, how cool it would be to collect some tickets.
Yan Qing lived up to the name of "prodigal son", and in order to attract tea customers, she also took out her own special skills. Blowing, singing, dancing, and playing Go, all of them know how to do it, and all of them are proficient. Sometimes, I also make a cameo role as a storyteller.
With Chen Yang and Yan Qing here, the business of the tea shop was extremely prosperous, and in less than three days, as many as 4,000 copies were sold. At this rate, in a few days, their mission will be accomplished.
As for Song Wenjie, these days, he can finally stay in the tea shop with peace of mind. After listening to it for a few days, I also learned a lot.
On the afternoon of the third day of the first lunar month, Chen Yang finished finishing a book and was sitting in the hall to rest, when a person suddenly broke in from outside and ran straight to Chen Yang's side.
"Chen Yang, I finally found you, help, my brother has a big deal."
Who is this? The first time we met, I didn't say a word, and I opened my mouth to save my life.
Chen Yang turned his head and was stunned.
A young man with a strong body and a height of 1.8 meters stood in front of him, looking very anxious.
He really knows this kid, his name is Niu Bajin, he is Chen Yang's iron buddy, he also lives on West Street, and his father opened a wooden workshop. I didn't expect that after a few days, I actually got out of here.
Chen Yanggan opened his mouth, and after a long while, he could react: "Niu Bajin? What's wrong with you? ”
Chen Yang shouted in his heart that he was unlucky, the original Chen Yang had provoked a bunch of people!
"Don't mention it, it's going to kill you."
"Don't worry, tell me slowly, what's going on with you?"
"I ......"
Before Niu Bajin could speak, a group of people rushed in outside, about four or five, all of them were arrogant.
"Niu Bajin, I see where your kid is still running."
Seeing these people, Niu Bajin was greatly panicked and hurriedly hid under the table. "Chen Yang, they're here, hurry up and help me."
Chen Yang had a big headache, those people, with rough faces, wearing short clothes, were strong, and they looked like they often did things like thugs. This cow is eight catties, where to go is not good, I have to run to this Mengji Tea House.
"If you don't say anything, how can I help you?"
Niu Bajin said embarrassedly: "Isn't it Guan Pu Ri recently?" Brother, brother just had itchy hands, and went to Cuiyun Building to play a few tricks. ”
"Guan Pu? Cuiyun Building? Chen Yang was stunned.
He thought about it and finally understood. Cuiyun Building, the Daimyo's Mansion, isn't it the restaurant that was set on fire by the drums and fleas in the Water Margin? I didn't expect it to be true.
As for Naguan Pu, it is a gambling game, which is very similar to the slot machines of later generations, and at this time, it is extremely popular.
Because of the memory of the original Chen Yang, he also has an understanding of Guan Pu's gameplay. The way of Guan Pu, copper money as the guide, with small and big. The obverse of the copper coin is "character", and the back is "pure". The victory or defeat of the pounce is subject to the number of "pure", and if all the copper coins pounced are "pure", it is called "pure and pure". Only by throwing "pure" can you win. Otherwise, the bet will be lost to the dealer.
The amount of copper coins determines the size of gambling. A copper coin has to be turned off and generally no one plays, more than two copper coins, the value of the fight is the value of the bet 2 copper coins of the index of the number of copper coins minus 1 times.
For example, if two copper coins are used, you can beat 2 to the second power minus 1 times, that is, three times the value of something, three copper coins, can fight 2 to the third power minus 1 times, that is, seven times the value of things, and so on. Ordinary people play Guan Pu, the number of copper coins used is generally two to five, more than six, even if it is a big gamble, the possibility of winning is extremely small.
Due to the simple gameplay and strong randomness, if you are lucky, you can get huge benefits with less cost, and it is extremely popular among both civilians and scholars. There are even people who are obsessed with this way and do not do their jobs properly, so that they affect the normal life of the people. In view of this, the government has issued a ban on gambling without permission. Every year, only on the three major festivals of New Year's Day, Winter Solstice, and Cold Food, each of them is released for three days.
Today's third day is the day to play Guan Pu.
Thinking of this, Chen Yang had a big headache and asked, "How many copper coins did you use, and how much did you lose?" ”
Niu Bajin didn't say anything with a bitter face, stretched out a hand, forked his fingers, and gave a number.
"Five!"
Chen Yang scolded secretly, you really know how to find trouble for Lao Tzu, five copper coins, that is, thirty-one times the gamble. If the other party bets on the consistent money, Niu Bajin will lose to him for thirty consistent.
"What's the stake?"
Niu Bajin still didn't speak, stretched out his two hands, and split his fingers.
"I'm ......, Shiguan!"
Niu Bajin nodded, his expression was about to cry, "How did I know, they can really throw it." ”
That's a loss of three hundred and ten times,, what kind of concept is this? When Chen Yang was a small merchant, he couldn't earn five times a month at most, and most of the time, he could only earn two or three times. Three hundred and ten runs, that is his net income for more than five years.
God, honestly traversing, how can there be such a, Chen Yang really doesn't want to care!
At this time, it was too late for Chen Yang to care if he didn't want to. The men had already arrived at the table, and when they saw Niu Bajin hiding under the table, they all sneered.
The man who took the lead said fiercely: "Niu Bajin, you kid actually hid here, why don't you come out for me quickly?" ”
Niu Bajin panicked and trembled with fright, and the tea bowls on the table jingled.
"Big brother, save me!" grabbed Chen Yang's leg.
“……”
Chen Yang was shocked, this stinky boy, older than him, had the cheekiness to call him big brother.
Eldest brother? Hearing this, several men turned their heads to look at Chen Yang, and said with a smile: "You, it's his eldest brother, okay, then it's easy to do, this kid owes me three hundred and sixty yuan in Cuiyun Building, what should I do, let's discuss it." ”
As he spoke, several men laughed at the same time.
"Three hundred and sixty runs, isn't it three hundred and ten runs?" Chen Yang wondered, and looked down at Niu Bajin.
Niu Bajin's face became even more ugly, and he said with a crying voice: "I, I want to go back to the original, and I threw five more times." ”
“……”
Chen Yang was angry for a while, what a pig-like teammate?
At this moment, suddenly hearing a "pop", Meng Po ran over angrily, slapped the table, and shouted: "What kind of person, dare to mess around in my tea shop!" ”
