Chapter 237: Dice Master
If someone asks where is the most luxurious and extravagant place in the world in this world? It will definitely not be some palace royal family, Ouchi Forbidden City, but a casino.
Casinos are always the most palatial and drunken places, not only in the dynasty, in reality, but also in the past, which is indeed a very strange point, what White House Versailles British royal family, even if I love Yanjing [***], there is no casino luxury, maybe this is because life is a gamble.
Gambling is sometimes extremely ugly and dirty, but sometimes it is also the most devout and loyal behavior of human beings, like religious fanaticism, so the casino should be the most gorgeous place.
Not only is this casino on the North Glacier the best place, but it is also the largest building in town, and it looks like an ice palace from the outside, like a work of art.
When you walk in, you will be dazzled by the various splendid facilities inside.
Warm gold-plated walls, crystal chandeliers with a strong European medieval style, intricately carved marble ripple tops, and Persian carpets as bright as the sunset...... Zhang He couldn't imagine that there was such a place in this extremely cold region even if he killed him, even if it was the Jinluan Palace of the Emperor of Heaven, it was nothing more than this, right?
The hall alone is enough to accommodate thousands of people, all kinds of people, people of all colors, players from all countries, gamblers of all kinds of clothes, Zhang He even saw waiters holding wine trays back and forth and Western aristocratic men and women in evening dresses, all the elements added up to form an extremely luxurious and lively scene on this night.
When you get to this, you wonder if it's in reality or in a dream.
"It turns out this place is a casino." Zhang He only figured it out now.
Zhong Shumann said: "You finally guessed correctly this time, if you can't become one of the largest casinos in the East, who wants to come to this kind of ghost place?" β
Zhang He sighed: "Let's go to this ghost place to inquire about the news?" β
He still couldn't believe that such a place could be heard.
Zhong Shuman's dress at the moment is actually a small women's dress similar to Western England, and he looks extremely handsome: "There is no place like here to find out what you want to know." β
Zhang He quickly understood this truth, because as long as you stay in Beibing Town, there is no other place to go at night, only here, almost everyone gambles here at night for entertainment, and the streets outside are terrifyingly empty.
Of course, no matter what nationality you are, even if you don't understand his Chinese language, there is a language that you can basically learn without a teacher, and this language is all kinds of gambling equipment, pai gow, dice, poker, mahjong, tarot cards, pip cards...... There's nothing you can't see, only you can't think of it.
Zhang He saw piles of silver on the first table near the entrance of the casino, and he couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't see any gambling copper coins here." β
Zhong Shuman also smiled: "That's true, everything is gambled here, but it just won't be too small." β
Zhang He looked at her and said, "We came in just now, and we paid 20 taels of silver for the ticket." β
Zhong Shuman said: "That's what I paid." β
Zhang He said: "I know. β
Zhong Shuman looked at him and said with a smile: "I understand what you mean, you want me to pay your gambling money together, don't you?" β
Zhang He said: "This is not called payment, this is called investment, I guarantee that I am definitely a worthy investment, and the return on investment is relatively high." β
Zhong Shuman said: "My silver is not obtained out of thin air, what guarantee do you have?" β
Zhang He looked at a table not far away: "At least I have always been confident in rolling dice. β
Following his gaze, Zhong Shuman also saw the table: "There are 50 taels of silver here, you can prove it to me first, but I warn you first, the casino also has casino rules." β
Zhang He said: "What rules? β
Zhong Shuman said: "That is fair gambling, if you want to win, you must rely on your own ability." β
Zhang He didn't say anything more, took the silver and walked towards the table.
It was a long table playing with dice, surrounded by a large crowd of people staring intently at the table, on which was covered with a delicate velvet blanket with Arabic numerals such as "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6......".
Most people know this kind of play, that is, guess the size, you can bet on the big bet on the small, one, two, three is small, four, five or six is big, of course, you can also bet on the specific number, so the odds will be higher.
The dealer in front of the table is a man with five big and three thick, a dice cup in front of him dances dazzlingly in his hand, the dice inside a chaotic sound, and then the dice cup "snaps" in the dice board, the dealer began to shout loudly: "Bet, bet, bet quickly." β
The gamblers around quickly threw large and small pieces of silver on the velvet carpet, which was a relatively small table, but the smallest gambler also threw a handful of silver on it, and counted it, and it was as high as 300 taels.
Think about it, when Xiao Zhang was making a living in Yuhua Village to make a living, he was half tired for a mere one or twenty taels of silver, but now you see that people throw out 300 taels of silver, it's like throwing it away, this person is really incomparable.
Zhong Shuman stood behind him and whispered: "Don't let me down, I did a few chivalrous tasks to get my hands on the 50 taels." β
Zhang He nodded, and threw the ingot of silver onto the pattern printed with the word 6.
His move naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding area, everyone knows that there are many casino masters, gamblers are generally losing or winning, betting on the size of the same, after all, there are a few people who dare to bet on specific points.
But the most critical point is that his 50 taels are too eye-catching, which is really pitiful, and Xiao Zhang's living clothes have always been relatively tattered, so when he made a bet, even the dealer couldn't help but look at him twice.
"Open! Open! Open! "A gambler is always a gambler, not with money, but with that feeling of excitement.
The dice cup opened quickly, and the dice lying on the plate were exactly 6 o'clock.
"Oh......"
"Hit!"
"Damn, it's time to bet on the small one."
βohοΌyesοΌβ
β¦β¦
All kinds of voices came and went one after another, and Zhong Shuman smiled: "It seems that you do have some research on dice." β
Zhang He took the 150 taels of silver pushed back by the dealer, and couldn't help but smile: "I have already said that I will not lose money when I invest." β
At this point, the second round of betting begins, and the dice cup shakes in the air for a [***] dance.
Zhong Shuman said: "Is it big or small this time?" β
Zhang He smiled and said, "It's not difficult to bet on the size." β
As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the 100 taels of silver and the capital of 50 taels of silver that he had just won straight to the table.
This shrimp bet on a 6 o'clock again, this time not to mention that the dealer looked at him a few more times, and even the people next to him were a little surprised, thinking that this kid must be too confident, right?
Zhang He's self-confidence is obviously justified, because as soon as the dice cup is opened, there is indeed another 6 in it.
It was only less than two minutes, and he had 450 taels of silver in his hand, Zhang He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Actually, I should have made a fortune by gambling when I returned to Ma Town." β
Zhong Shuman doubted: "Are you considered lucky?" β
Zhang He didn't answer her, and directly threw the 450 taels on 6 o'clock, and the whole table looked up at him.
Zhang He didn't care: "Open!" β
The dealer was dumbfounded as soon as he opened, and he made 6 points three times in a row, which is too evil, right?
1350 taels of silver was pushed in front of Zhang He, although the dealer was reluctant, but he was willing to gamble to admit defeat, which is a unique truth.
Zhong Shuman also felt a little magical: "This should be your first time here, right?" β
Zhang He said: "What about the first time you came here?" β
Zhong Shuman smiled bitterly: "At that time, I had a total of 82 taels of silver on my body, and I lost a fine light, and the 82 taels were earned by selling mink skins for several days." β
"I can't believe you're superstitious about this." Zhang He nodded: "Okay, I'll help you avenge it today, and win it back with all the interest." β
After saying that, he threw 1,350 taels of silver on the table again, and this time he didn't bet on 6 points, but all on 3 points.
To be honest, looking at his chic actions in betting, the dealer is a little weak this time, this hillbilly is very evil.
So the dealer is not good when this is the truth, on the surface you are very beautiful, but bad luck enough for you to want to jump off the building, because gamblers are the most realistic, when I saw Zhang He won three in a row, this time many people have bet a few hundred taels on 3 points, the purpose of this is nothing else, that is - to follow the trend.
The wind obviously followed the right again, and as soon as the dice cup opened, it was 3 o'clock and lay quietly inside.
The banker's head began to sweat, and this time he lost a total of close to 10,000 taels of silver, and Zhang He directly took 4050 taels of silver back.
As soon as this bad head opened, there were countless people following the trend, as long as Zhang He bet on which point, others followed and threw money at it.
"Four o'clock!"
"1 o'clock!"
Only opened two more dice cups, the dealer went directly to class, he did not sit in the bank, because he had lost everything, these two lost him almost close to 50,000 taels of silver, and the silver in front of Zhang He piled up into a hill, a total of 36,450 taels.
Zhong Shuman also felt incredible: "I have never seen that your gambling skills are so high? β
Zhang He smiled mysteriously: "Then let me tell you a secret." β
He deliberately said this very loudly, not only Zhong Schumann heard it, but also the other gamblers next to him heard it clearly, and almost everyone was curious why he was so powerful?
Zhang He laughed: "Actually, I'll tell you, my secret is ......"
Everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
"That's -- luck, luck, good!" After saying that, Zhang He laughed and put away the silver and left the table.
Zhong Shuman was stunned and couldn't help laughing.
The other gamblers were stunned, and then they laughed too, and the smile of one person changed to the smile of everyone, and the smile of all developed into a knowing smile, and finally it became a laugh of the whole table.
The gamblers at the other tables all looked at this side in astonishment, no one knew if this group of people was crazy or something, and they didn't know what was worthy of so many people laughing?
