189. The first place to enter the game
The food was placed on the table in front of him one by one, but Ethan Hawkner's face was getting darker and darker, not because of the materials used in the food, but because he always felt that there was something wrong with each of them, anyway, it was not as good as the jerky in the paper bag. Pen inkstone pavilion
He angrily threw the knife and fork on the plate, glared at Luo Chen angrily, and said, "Say, did you put a forbidden medicine in the jerky to make me lose interest in the food on this table." ”
Luo Chen shrugged and said, "Don't fool yourself, you can still eat other flavors, which means that there is no problem with my jerky at all." ”
In this world, food and spices are scarce, and the most common things on the table of ordinary people are dry bread, potatoes and vegetable soup with a little salt, the consistency of which depends on the family's situation.
She didn't inquire too clearly about the words of the nobles, afraid that there were masters in those manors, and it was good that she was cautious, otherwise it would have been exposed.
But you can also get a glimpse of these dishes in front of you, tsk, it didn't exceed her expectations.
"Why don't you eat it? It's delicious. Frankie, who had been struggling with the food, noticed something unusual, put meat in one hand and put the other hand in his mouth, and reached out to a plate of snacks with the other, and looked at the other three while eating.
Luo Chen took a small cake and put it in his mouth, the pure natural and pollution-free honey fragrance instantly dispersed in the air, it tasted really good, as for why Ethan Hawk thought these things were not delicious, the biggest possibility was that he was tired of eating them, eating these every day, no matter how delicious things were, he would feel that it was nothing more than that.
Luo Chen stretched out his fork to a plate of sliced bacon, the meat quality and color of the bacon were perfect, but when the fork was halfway up, it met its companion, Luo Chen looked up at Frankie Waxman along the fork.
Frankie scratched his head in embarrassment but didn't take the fork back, but asked, "The last three pieces, do you want to eat them?" ”
"You can eat." Luo Chen silently turned his fork to the meat on the other side, there was no way, there was a lot of meat on this table.
"You're such a nice guy." Frankie quickly inserted all three slices of bacon into his plate, and in the process of retracting it, he tore off a pigeon leg and took it away.
Luo Chen ate the food and observed the crowd, and after the meal was served, the waiter was kicked out by Ethan Hawk, so he was glaring at Luo Chen angrily while cutting the meat with his own hands, George Ethel persuaded him a few words and then stopped caring about him and enjoyed the food by himself.
I don't know what the purpose of the two henchmen chosen by the old duke for him, George Ethel is shrewd but upright, not the kind of bullying villain, and his attitude towards Ethan Hawkner is also that you listen to it, and if you don't listen, as long as you don't get hurt, you can do anything, just like when he pulled Ethan Hawk to prevent him from rushing over to fight with her.
Frankie Waxman is not to mention, he is a fool, and he will not beat around the bush with Ethan Hawke at that time, it stands to reason that he will not be left by his side at all, but she can always see Ethan Hawke's angry jumping feet in the end but not anymore.
It's really a strange combination, Luo Chen didn't touch the second time after taking a sip of fish soup, tsk, this soup is indeed a little unpalatable.
"After eating, hurry up and complete the gambling contract, I don't want to see you for a few days." Ethan Hawk bit the jerky in his hand angrily, and after eating, he didn't forget to hold the fat rat in his arms, glaring at Luo Chen, and didn't mention that he secretly used food to save face.
Luo Chen slowly wiped his mouth and got up, motioning for him to lead the way.
Ethan Hawkner led Luo Chen to the gate of an ancient castle, a high-class casino, and the entrance fee alone was the price of a gold coin.
There are two types of betting in the casino, one is customer-to-customer, and the commission is one gold coin per guest per table, but this form is also more likely to meet scammers.
The second is the casino banker, which does not require additional fees, but if you are too unlucky, you will lose and there are no pants left.
"The principal is ten gold coins, limited to sunrise, whoever loses first will lose, and must not vote a second time, if it continues in the end, who wins the most."
George Ethel explained the rules of the bet with ease, but Ethan Hawkner pouted disapprovingly when he heard the ten gold coins, but said nothing else.
Luo Chen rubbed his chin, it seems that this George Ethel has a lot of role in Ethan Hawker.
"What do you see! You don't even have ten gold coins, do you? Ethan Hawk was a little irritated by Luo Chen's eyes, and immediately couldn't help but yell.
"Well, indeed." She is not recognized by the family as a 'young master in the country', and it is better to spend money now and control a little.
"Huh~ I know." Ethan Hawkner raised his head high, nodded his chin in Luo Chen's direction and said, "Borrow him ten gold coins, pay me back if you win, and if you lose it all, you will wait to repay the debt to Young Master Ben as a cow and a horse." ”
George Ethel took out the money bag, counted out ten gold coins and put them in Luo Chen's hand, and then took the money bag back again, looking like he was used to it.
Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, glanced at the crowd around him without a trace, and found that only a few richly dressed nobles let their personal attendants take the money when they took out the money, and most of them did it themselves, which was good, then her previous behavior of throwing gold coins was not conspicuous.
"Go ahead, play whatever you want, and throw the dice if you can't play." Ethan Hawkner looked impatient and slipped into the crowded table.
Although there are mostly some nobles who flaunt their elegance and some businessmen who look like nobles, at the gaming table, they are just a group of gamblers who bet on red eyes.
She remembers someone saying, "Humans are gambling animals, and they always want to win a little more." ”
From enjoying the process of gambling with an attitude of just entertaining and relaxing, to finally abandoning the purpose of entertainment in order to win more money and material things, just to win more, but this also happens to be the prelude to losing and going bankrupt.
Money is too easy to obtain, which fuels the greed in the heart, and the uncertainty brought by gambling fuels the gambler's luck to win, so that the gambler loses self-control, can't stop, and never regrets it.
Luo Chen tossed the gold coin in his hand up and down, looking at the scene of a man who had stripped off his clothes and only left his underwear being thrown out by the guards, and looked back at this drunken place and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, he really couldn't go here without concentration.
She has been exposed to a lot of games since she was a child, from rock-paper-scissors to children and lottery; It's big enough to play mahjong with relatives during the New Year, and shake the dice and drink with girlfriends on KTV on birthdays, but this casino is the first time to enter.
After all, it was illegal to gather people to gamble at that time.
