Fifteen Red Star Gambling Stalls
Lin Zi took the Wei family brothers and Gao Lao Wu and a few people directly to Taoyuan Road and even the famous uphill city of C City at that time.
The reason why it is famous here is because of the geographical environment, whether it is a cultivation road or a primitive ecology, it is a very headache place, because a big road here is a big uphill state, usually spring, summer and autumn three cascades are good, but in winter, because it is a big uphill, at that time every household gives the domestic garbage, excrement, sewage directly out of the house and pours it on the ground, so this big uphill slope becomes a natural slide, Walking is basically a case of falling a, let alone riding a bicycle.
Hongxing's full name is Zhang Hongxing, his father was a relatively famous person in the neighborhood at that time, this fame is not to say how powerful his father is, but his father is one of the few technical talents at that time, what is this technology? It's a movie projectionist.
A film projectionist is not a big deal now, but in those days, a film projectionist was a rare talent, and I don't know where his father poked out a set of movie curtains, and there was a projector, and when he had nothing to do, he would follow everyone everywhere to show movies to schools, factories, or some government agencies.
In that era when materials were scarce, the spiritual world was extremely empty, and there was no entertainment, watching movies was the only way to entertain people in life.
Later, with the father of Red Star gradually getting older, the idle Red Star did not inherit this glorious craft, but found another way to set up a small gambling stall at home, at that time this kind of gambling stall is not what we now call a chess and card club, mahjong restaurant or casino, that is, at the beginning to provide hot water to some old men and old ladies to watch small cards.
Red Star's brain is not bad, and he actually started carving mahjong by himself, or asked someone to go out and get some poker back, so that these half-sized children around him had a place to entertain, and for a while, Taoyuan Road was uphill and Red Star gambling stalls were unlimited.
Another important reason why Red Star was able to make it scale is that Red Star has a big movie theater at home.
Some people say that in that era, how could there be private movie theaters? In fact, this is not the case, but Hongxing's father was in front of the house at that time was a large empty house that could accommodate more than 100 people, and no one could use it here, and because Hongxing's father was still a film projectionist, when he couldn't walk anymore, he agreed to give this house to Hongxing's father on the street to manage, saving the old man from rushing to show movies to people, and it was also the earliest and most famous Red Star Cinema in City C at that time.
Zhang Hongxing's name also came from here, does the shining red star shine, and the names of children at that time were basically linked to these glorious names.
Red Star's father has always said that Red Star will manage the movie theater because he can't manage it, and every time there is a major festival celebration, he will show movies to the masses in the movie theater.
Gao Lao Wu just had nothing to do to play here, and then lost everything, and Lin Zi's purpose for coming this time was to take a fancy to this place.
When Lin Zi and others came here, there was a miasma in the movie theater, and many people on the streets of Taoyuan Road and Nanguan, Erdao and other places spontaneously started to play in it, and the wins and losses of these have nothing to do with Red Star, but whether you win or lose after playing, you have to throw two cents at Red Star, which is considered a Taiwan fee, and there are also those who have won a lot of people who generously throw down a lot of eight cents, just because of this, Red Star's reputation is not small, and the money is also a lot of money.
Inside the house, many people were stunned when they saw Lin Zi and the Wei family brothers coming in, slowly stopped the card game in their hands, and stood up to greet the three people.
At that time, on Taoyuan Road or Nanguan, Wang Minglin, Wei Ren of the Wei brothers, Wei Ran had a well-known reputation, different from Gao Lao Wu, these three people basically couldn't find fault with them, and Gao Lao Wu was stealing chickens and dogs, robbing and robbing, bullying children and doing everything, so he was notoriety.
"Oh, Linzi, come and smoke one!"
"Brother Big Wei, Brother Little Wei!"
"A few bottles of old soda, bring them to my brother!"
"Come and eat Mao!"
All the people who knew these people stood up for a while, whether they were local or foreign, and the people who could play here were basically people who were familiar with them, and they didn't care about the people who fought between the divisions, so they all greeted them warmly.
But after the red star in the inner room heard the sound outside, his forehead suddenly sweated.
Why, because Red Star is indeed related to the big dragon and the second dragon of the little white bridge, although the older generation basically doesn't move around, but when it comes to the red star, he is still willing to pretend to be a calf by the fame of the big dragon and the second dragon, today when Gao Lao Wu came to pay back the money, Red Star also drank some wine, so after saying two words that should not be said, Gao Lao Wu left angrily, and now Red Star has woken up, and Gao Lao Wu has brought the Wei brothers and Lin Zi over, Red Star is up and down in his heart, usually not to say that they are all buddies are good, brotherhood, At least walking around on the street, these people didn't say that they bullied themselves because they knew Dalong Erlong and got close, and they let themselves do a big deal, and now they are forced to do it, and when they come, it is estimated that it will be difficult to run away.
Hongxing couldn't hide, so he could only walk out hard, and opened his mouth with a smile on his face to meet the four people, "Oh, you four brothers come here together, what a rare guest!" ”
The Wei brothers didn't speak because they didn't know what Lin Zi was coming for, and looked at Hongxing with a cold face, while Lin Zi sneered after glancing at Hongxing and said, "Brother Hongxing, what's going on in the back?" ”
Hongxing heard Lin Zi's words and was even more certain, Lin Zi was in a hurry, he was about the same age as Lin Zi, and it was not a greeting from a big brother or brother when he usually met, but now Lin Zi opened his mouth and called himself eldest brother, this is angry, so Hongxing hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Lin Zi and the others and said, "It must be necessary, go Brother Lin, Brother Wei, Brother Xiao Wei, Fifth Brother, let's sit in the house!" ”
The four of them followed Red Star and walked towards the back room.
The people outside the room immediately began to talk to each other.
"Did you see it, just now Hongxing was pretending to be a calf with the old man of the family, and Lin Zi and the Wei family brothers are here!"
"That's not it, these guys are all wearing a pair of pants, I guess they're going to start working in a while!"
"Who are you helping?"
"What do you help, do you still need us? Don't pull the rack! ”
"Just watch the excitement!"
"See, it's still up to the people here, the pillar left that day, we went to send it, there were too many people, people didn't want to talk nonsense!"
There was a lot of chatter outside, and Red Star's heart began to change.
