Zhang Xiaobao led the Yue Fei brothers into the Four Seas Gambling House from the lion's mouth at the main entrance.

As soon as they entered the gambling hall, the first thing the brothers felt was the word "quiet". The huge space, more than a dozen gaming tables of different sizes and shapes, and the crowded crowd are still so quiet.

It was quiet, people even walked with their hands and feet, and their breathing became subtle and long. You can only vaguely hear the collision of the dice and the dice cup, the sound of the money, the gentle shouting of the owner, and the occasional scolding of the gamblers. It is completely different from other gambling houses that are loud, noisy, and chaotic.

Ladies and gentlemen: The Song Dynasty called the dealer the owner and the gambling house owner the blogger.

Seeing that the Yue Fei brothers were a little puzzled, Zhang Xiaobao turned his mouth and pointed to the left, and led the brothers into a room. It turned out that this was a tea house, and there were many old people drinking tea in it, leisurely and leisurely.

Zhang Xiaobao found a table by the window and sat down, and the brothers also sat down.

Zhang Xiaobao grinned and asked, "Is it too quiet here, do you think it's strange?" ”

The brothers nodded yes

Zhang Xiaobao said: "The gamblers who come here know a little bit about gambling, and they have enough capital to win a lot of money from the owner." Therefore, the environment must be quiet, and the surroundings must be quiet, so that you can listen to the dice, listen to the money, and so on. The quiet and reputable environment is the way to attract customers to this Four Seas Gambling House. ”

"You say the dice can be heard?" Wang Gui was very strange.

"Of course," said Xiaobao, who took out three dice from his bosom and flung them lightly on the table, and the dice fell down with a few crisp sounds.

Zhang Xian said: "Aren't all the same voices, what's the difference?" ”

Xiaobao didn't answer, picked out a dice, swept the side of a little in front of the brothers, and then put it down gently, with a crisp "snap"; Xiaobao picked up the dice, swept the six-o'clock side in front of the brothers, and then gently put it down, and there was a crisp "pop" sound.

Xiaobao asked the brothers if they had heard the difference. Niu Gao and the others all shook their heads and said no, only Yue Fei bowed his head and said nothing.

Xiaobao demonstrated this a few times, but Niu Gao and the others still couldn't hear the difference, and Yue Fei smiled, obviously having found the trick.

Xiaobao was surprised when he saw Yue Fei's expression change, and said: "Back then, Fat Daddy asked me to listen to it for three days, and I heard a reason, Fat Daddy has already said that I am amazingly talented. Now that Brother Yue has only heard it a few times, he has already found the trick, and the true god is also. ”

"What's so hard about that?" Yue Fei said as he took out the silver needle box from his arms, and there were nine needles in the silver needle box. Yue Fei beckoned the guy to bring the candles, lit them, and roasted those silver needles one by one. After roasting, press down Tang Huai, Zhang Xian, Wang Gui and Niu Gao one by one, and gently screw the silver needles into their two big holes, Tinghui and Pengfeng. continued: "We martial arts practitioners pay attention to controlling every inch of muscle in our body. I will help you with needles now, which is equivalent to washing your ear acupuncture points with true qi and improving your hearing. ”

After pricking the needle, Yue Fei picked up a dice on the table, swept the side of the little one in front of the brothers, and then gently pressed it down on the table, with a "horn" sound, with a dull sound; Then he swept the side of six o'clock in front of the brothers, and gently pressed it on the table downward, and the "horn" sounded muffled, but this time the sound was significantly different.

Yue Fei explained: "The dice are made of animal bones or ivory, and each point on it has to dig a small pit and then paint it with color, so the sound of different points hitting the surface is different, just like the sound of different types of hidden weapons is also different. My hand sticks to the dice to slow down the falling speed, and the sound becomes dumber and deeper, but it is easier to distinguish. Isn't this the same way I used to teach you how to use your hearing to distinguish hidden weapons? ”

"Oh," Wang Gui and the others suddenly realized.

Yue Fei picked up the dice again and slapped them on the table dozens of times, and the brothers finally heard a difference. Yue Fei pulled out the silver needles on Wang Gui's body and threw out the dice again, and the brothers could still tell the difference. Instant clapping in celebration.

Zhang Xiaobao saw that Yue Fei's brothers could already listen to the dice, so he said: "The eldest brothers are really powerful, they can get started so quickly." Then let me talk about the gameplay in this casino. The most famous in the Four Seas Casino is the four ways to play "betting on size", "catching bulls", "spreading money" and "dominoes"

After speaking, Zhang Xiaobao put the three dice on the table in an empty bowl, picked up the lid of another empty bowl, and shook it vigorously a few times. After shaking, put it on the table, and said: "The size of the bet is very simple, after the owner shakes the dice, the gambler buys the size according to the number of points he hears the dice, and the total number of points is four to ten is small; The total points of eleven to seventeen are large; The three ones are around the dice, and the owner of the workshop kills them. ”

Zhang Xiaobao opened the lid of the bowl, and the three dice in it were three ones, and they were all eaten around the dice.

Xiaobao grabbed the dice in the bowl and said, "It's very simple to catch the bull's head, I roll six dice at a time, and when there are three of the same points, the remaining three can be judged as winning or losing." If the remaining three have a value of less than ten, the owner loses, and if it is more than eleven, the owner wins. ”

Xiaobao took out a large handful of copper coins from his bosom. Introduced:

"The so-called apportionment of money means that the owner of the shop takes out dozens of copper coins at will, puts them in the container, and lets gamblers press the remainder of the copper coins, or zero, or one, or two, or three; After buying, the owner unveiled the container to count the number of copper coins, with every four pieces as a spread, spread to the most rear, the remainder of the copper coins statistics or zero, or one, or two, or three, divided into four groups, to the winner of the press. Buy as much as you lose as much as you want. ”

After finishing speaking, Xiaobao had already covered the copper coin with a bowl and said, "Brothers, you can also try to buy it first, and then bet a penny." ”

The brothers bet one after another, Yue Fei bet on one, Niu Gao and Wang Gui bet on two, and Zhang Xian and Tang He bet on three and zero respectively.

After the brother stopped buying, Xiaobao opened the bowl and spread the copper coin with chopsticks. One stall, two stalls, three stalls...... The remainder of the most rearmost is one. As a result, Xiaobao won two pennies from the brothers.

Yue Fei asked Xiaobao: "Can you determine the remainder at will?" ”

Xiaobao smiled, did not answer Yue Fei's question, and continued: "I don't need to introduce the rules of pai gow, the gameplay is the same all over the country, and Bianliang City is no exception." I've finished introducing everything that should be introduced, and a few big brothers will go to the gambling hall to play by themselves, and I'll wait for you here. ”

Ladies and gentlemen, rumors in the rivers and lakes: Pai Gow was created by Zhao Ji, the merry emperor of the Song Dynasty, during the Xuanhe period, and the popularity of Pai Gow in the late Northern Song Dynasty and the entire Southern Song Dynasty was not much better than today's mahjong tiles.

When the brothers saw this, they had no choice but to get up and go to the gambling hall.
