At the beginning of the big Shanghai lights, the neon lights shine on the 181 Fuxi Road, which is a very prominent casino that everyone in Shanghai knows and everyone knows. On weekdays, the people who come in and out are well-dressed upper-class people, and at night they are even more bright, the alleys are full of traffic, people come with jewelry, and rich businessmen and celebrities are like a market.

The facilities in the club should be luxurious and rich, prosperous like a fairyland, the door is opened, and the arrogant and lascivious atmosphere comes. Chinese and Western gambling equipment are available, and guests can choose. Those who enter the club feel like they have entered heaven.

The club is divided into three floors, and on the first floor is the promotion of pai gow, most of which are ordinary Baiwa or small hooligan levels; The second floor is set up as a roulette table, and the number of wins and losses is even more impressive than on the first floor. The third floor is dominated by mahjong, and the bets are often under a few thousand, from the first floor to the third floor, each floor has a bar, dining and resting rooms. The room is also disguised as a service area for prostitutes and smoking large cigarettes.

Niu Ba was dizzy and looked at the row of handsome guys sitting on one side of the hall, all with oily heads and powdery faces, mainly flattering to the female guests, he couldn't help but ask the person who came to be the foreman, "Are they little white faces?" ”

The foreman quipped, "They don't call them little white faces, they call them snowflake pollen parties." ”

Niu Ba was frightened: "No wonder all the faces are like hanging ghosts, so white and scared ghosts?" I don't want to. ”

The foreman took a cigarette in his mouth and spat the smoke ring on Niu Ba's face: "Hillbilly, snowflake powder is very expensive, and you will only pay five cents for five hundred catties of rice on the dock!" Look at those women's shots, they are all a lot of silver dollars! Your goal is to find a woman who can give you a steak to eat in a black swan and sit on a Persian carpet as her darling, and it doesn't take much to do it for five years. ”

Niu Ba finally understood the profession of this row of handsome guys, and pulled the ghost brother's clothes, "Brother ghost, I still go to the casino area with you, I can't do this job." ”

I, Niu Ba, Ghost Brother, and Pony Six reported to the casino area.

On the first day of work, the supervisor strictly required us to set rules and regulations:

1. The waiter is polite and considerate.

2. Free high-quality opium smoke, Chinese and Western food, all kinds of famous wine, famous tobacco and hot and cold drinks, all of which are available at any time.

3. The high-end furniture is comfortable and gorgeous, and gamblers can enjoy it in a rest.

4. If you drive there, you will also give the accompanying driver five yuan, and add five liters of gasoline for each car for free. For those who do not have a car, sometimes we will send them off for free, or buy tickets on behalf of them. In fact, these are all carefully arranged bait to attract guests to come to gamble comfortably and send money to the boss.

"Any questions?" The supervisor asked.

A freshman: "Boss, what should I do if I lose all my money?" ”

Superintendent: "We have another service for our friends, and if we don't have any cash, we can exchange silver tickets, antiques, jewelry, real estate, stocks, and even clothes for chips." If you run out of valuable things, take off the clothes inside and change chips layer by layer, until you lose all of them. ”

A freshman: "Bare ass, wow." ”

Xiao Ma Liu raised his hand confidently: "Boss, if someone dares not to pay, what should I do?" ”

The director smiled sideways: "Easy to do." The first offender will be reprimanded at the least, and at the worst he will burn the words 'unjust', 'foul' and 'recalcitrant' on his arm with incense, and if he commits the second offense, he can be given lotus flowers. ”

Ah Wu Donkey Yong raised his hand to question: "Planting lotus flowers, so cheap, can it scare people?" ”

The supervisor smiled: "Planting lotus flowers is to sink people into the river, you know, little red guy." ”

Everyone let out a cry of surprise.

A total of 88 groups of waiters are assigned, and we belong to the junior waiters, among which I and Niu Ba are in a group, mainly delivering water and serving tea on the field; Brother Ghost and Pony Six are in a group, mainly to light cigarettes and deliver alcohol to guests, and other services are also teams in pairs, cooperating with each other and supervising each other. We serve in the special area on the first floor, all of them are uniformed with gloves and black vests, which are very professional, and the expressions of the gamblers who are holding their breath at the moment of gambling are interesting.

There are more than a dozen gambling tables in the hall on the first floor, today's field is very lively, the hustle and bustle of the field is continuous, there is a ruffian named Ma Dazhuang who is here all the year round, and when he sees his old friend, he shouts: "Oh, brother, come here!" Why, I'll push a pot and cheer it up, right? ”

"Okay." Old friends know these people at a glance.

Another middle-aged woman walked in, first cautiously observing the circle, then carefully gathered around, rubbing her hands together nervously.

Ma Dazhuang asked the old friend with inquiring eyes, the old friend touched his ear, and saw that the small movements of the two people fell into my eyes without interruption, and I thought, 'These two people must know each other, who will fall into their circle?' ’

Niu Badutifully hurriedly pulled out the chair to let the guests sit down comfortably, a group of gambling shame gathered around, Ma Dazhuang was the banker, and the waiter was responsible for washing the Tianjiu card, the yard was good, the dice was held in the palm of his hand, and he shouted vulgarly: "Are you all seated?" ”

Tianmen is an old friend, Ma Dazhuang asked: "Brother, how big is the bet today?" ”

The old friend smiled, "It depends on my luck." ”

"Hahaha, brother, my brother will accompany me today, and I will accompany you to the end as much as I want. Come on, everyone, press! ”

The old friend took out ten yuan, and the middle-aged woman also took out ten yuan and pressed it. "Papapa", others also pressed it. This Ma Dazhuang hooked his old friend with his eyes to look at the middle-aged woman, and the meaning was obvious: the big fish is here.

This scene did not miss my eyes, the middle-aged woman was cautious and careful to hold the bag on her chest, she was forty years old, with a thick skirt and heavy gown, a long hosta sticking out of her hair bun, falling heavy beads, and her dress was almost an era away from Shanghai Tang at that time.

Of course, the fat fish in Ma Dazhuang's eyes seemed to be trying to press ten yuan, I don't know how fat it will be! Interesting.

"Smack"

The dice is finished, six over one, seven to the door, and eight to the end.

"Bang, pop, pop" three times, each person on the table copied the card, the middle-aged woman took four tables, opened a look, dumbfounded, made trouble for a long time Jinping big five, tiger head, a ground card, how to match how to be one, two can not go, no pair. The middle-aged woman paid ten dollars in this way.

Maybe she felt a little unlucky, and then took out twenty yuan, "pop", pressed on, after the color brand was played, everyone copied the card, she took it and looked at it, her eyes bloomed, and said: "Yes, the nine kings of heaven." ”

At this time, the old friend played with Ma Dazhuang in the sleeve under the table, and the result of the transaction was that Ma Dazhuang as the dealer card was more explosive: "Auntie, I'm sorry, I'm called the fried here, the front is to kill, the back is the emperor, the head is the head, the tail is the tail, and the win is a full house." ”

The old woman rubbed her eyes and saw that she was frightened, and she never dreamed of it! Immediately sweating, Ma Dazhuang owes and picks up the money in his arms, "Thank you, auntie." ”

The upright ghost brother couldn't pass his eyes, grabbed the aunt, and hinted to her with her eyes not to gamble anymore, the red-eyed aunt patted the table, regardless of the image: "This table is not aura, feng shui is not prosperous, I want to go to the second floor of roulette." ”

Ma Dazhuang is ambitious: "Okay, auntie, today's Mulan!" I will be with you to the end. ”

A group of people walked into the elevator, the elevator slowly ascended, and through the iron barred door, the crowded hall was unobstructed.

The most striking feature on the second floor is the large roulette wheel in the middle, which is a rare foreign gadget in the casino.

After one round, the aunt lost all 100,000 yuan! She rubbed her chest, pulled the foreman's trouser leg, and cried: "Give me back the money, this is what my husband asked me to deposit in the Bank of Shanghai, who knows that I lost it all as soon as I entered here, my husband is a warlord in Guangxi." ”

The foreman kicked away the middle-aged woman with a look of disgust, "Tell Nong, even if the emperor comes up, it will be the same, since ancient times, he is willing to gamble and lose!" ”

As a result, the middle-aged woman was sent out of the door for 20 yuan, and the middle-aged woman who was unbearable in pain chose to hit her head against the wall, and the blood flowed to the ground instantly. The foreman spat at the corpse, and the waiter quickly pulled her away.

Five minutes later, the club was singing and dancing again, and business was booming, no longer the unexpected moment five minutes ago, and all the scars were erased in a few minutes. This is the Shanghai disaster, which will always quietly remove everyone's scars.

Lapek Ma Dazhuang and his good friend mysteriously walked to the counter, and the counter waiter paid them a sum of money, all of which fell into the eyes of Ghost Brother and Pony Liu.

After work, it was one o'clock in the morning.

Ghost Brother and Pony Six wore masks and followed Lapike Ma Dazhuang and his good friend to the corner of the street, and a few gamblers were talking about today's gambling luck nearby. Suddenly, the children buying flowers on the street scattered and ran, and the ghost brother grabbed Ma Dazhuang's throat, he separated Ma Dazhuang from the others, and wanted to drag him to a darker place, but Ma Dazhuang hugged the trunk with his arm and refused to let go. He curled up in a ball, shrugged his shoulders, and tried to protect his head and face.

The next thing makes people feel that the ghost brother is murderous. Brother Ghost used his fist to beat Ma Da Zhuang, who was curled up like a torrential rain, Xiao Ma Liu was also wrestling with Ma Da Zhuang's old friend, Xiao Ma Liu's weak body board was basically not a head taller than him, and the enemy had strength, but Brother Ghost's momentum was overwhelming, and the other party had already collapsed on the ground.

The ghost brother asked in a voice that was hoarse with anger: "Let you do something that dissipates your conscience!" Let you lie to others! Let your conscience be eaten by the dogs! ”

Ma Dazhuang, who woke up violently, made a voice like killing a pig: "We don't dare, uncle spare his life!" There is still an 80-year-old mother at home. ”

The ghost brother asked again: "Why do you always control winning and losing?" ”

Ma Dazhuang is a standard soft egg in front of the machete: "Heroes, heroes, roulette gambling has many tricks, mainly because the person who is in charge of the spin, the weight of the hand is exquisite, the landing point is controlled, and the spring and other mechanisms can be installed under the foot to make the marble jump into the cold." Don't kill me! ”

Gamblers and friends don't dare to intervene, they think that this is another simple and crude grievance, and they don't want to be unlucky. The children selling flowers also gathered around, but at the moment they watched this scene with awe and interest. These are all children from poor families, and when they see the gamblers who are being bullied, they are inexplicably excited, and they are extremely disgusted when they stare at the gamblers.
