Chapter 162: Powerful
Unlike the scene outside, which was stimulated by large bets, the box on the fourth floor of the Dusk Cloud Tower was very quiet.
The area of the box is spacious, only slightly smaller than the Tianzi Pavilion upstairs.
There were only two people sitting inside, one sitting and one standing, and the one standing in white was silently staring out the window. The man sitting was cooking tea, staring intently at the black iron kettle on the small red clay stove, when the spout emitted white smoke, the man lifted the lid of the kettle, saw the small bubbles at the bottom of the water, nodded with satisfaction, and then poured the water into the sieve with the tea cake.
After soaking the tea cakes, the man picked up a tea knife and carefully scraped off the anointing oil on it, placed it above the stove to dry over a slight fire, and then crushed the tea and sifted it finely.
The dark green tea powder fell on the cotton paper, and the man picked up the tender soup that had just been boiled to three boils, warmed the tea cup, folded the paper, and poured the tea powder into the black glazed rabbit hair bowl with a wide mouth and shallow bottom.
The man poured in a small amount of boiling water to mix the tea powder evenly to make the paste, and then slowly poured boiling water, seven successively, skillfully using the tea whisk to order tea.
In the rising white air, the man's quiet face was like that of an immortal.
In the black glazed cup, the tea soup is fresh and white, and the emerald green tea powder forms a very beautiful landscape and blue color, and the bite is not scattered, and the charm is long.
"Your way of ordering tea has improved again," the man in white who was standing walked up to the man making tea without saying a word, and said as he looked at the breathtaking soup veins in the tea cup.
"This is my way of practicing," the tea-making man asked, handing the rabbit cup to the other person, "what did the young lady say?" ”
"You know she's the word?" The man in white glanced at him.
"Of course," the man who made the tea drank quietly, "and you know why." ”
"She told me to stop," said the man in white, sitting down on the floor of the stove, stroking the tea cup in his hand. "She also said that it wasn't just this one."
"What do you think?" The man who made the tea picked up the iron kettle and continued to pour water and order tea, and asked without raising his head.
"Then stop and see what happens." The man in white put the wine glass on the table, "I didn't expect her to end up in this game, so I won it on a whim, but I didn't expect Duan Haochu to start bidding and test him easily." ”
"On a whim, ......" The man making the tea stared at the curling water vapor, raised his hand and was about to take the empty tea cup that the man in white had drunk, when suddenly his hand was fixed in mid-air.
The slightest movement outside could not be concealed from the two of them, who were cultivators.
The man in white, who also heard that, looked at him, and the two looked at each other.
"That's right." The man in white said lightly, "This is really interesting. ”
……
……
On the high platform of His Excellency, the master of ceremonies also glanced at the waiter beside him.
Both of them had a look of disbelief in their eyes.
"Miss," said the master of ceremonies, tentatively, "what did you just say?" ”
"I'll bet, five thousand taels." There was no impatience with the emcee's repeated inquiries, and the girl looked at him and said again.
The master of ceremonies rolled beads of sweat on his forehead, rubbed his hands nervously and said, "Miss, are you sure you want to bet on Song Gongzi?" ”
Zhu Luan nodded, looking extremely serious.
"She's lying! She simply can't come up with that much money! Upstairs, I don't know which box suddenly came from the girl's shrill scream.
The master of ceremonies was bluffed, looked up but couldn't determine who it was, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, looked at the girl in front of him and asked, "Although Duyun Lou is not afraid of people repaying the bills, but out of the rules, the villain still has to say more, if you bet on Song Gongzi, whether you win or lose, your loss is not small......"
If Song Xuesong wins, the bet will naturally belong to Song Xuesong, this girl, as the winner of the bet, can get the other party's compensation proportionally, but this compensation is all made by herself.
If Song Xuesong loses, then the five thousand taels will be wasted, just let those who bet on her get more profits.
Zhu Luan smiled and whispered a few words.
"Huh? What do you say? It was too noisy in front of the high platform, and the master of ceremonies didn't hear clearly for a while, so he asked suspiciously.
"It's okay," Zhu Luan smiled at him, "as long as the people who can hear it clearly." ”
"It's a good calculation." Song Xuesong stood aside and said coldly.
"By the way, you're a cultivator, so you can hear it," the girl's eyebrows were crooked, and her eyes were like stars.
"It's completely in line with the rules," Mr. Zhu said.
"You have to think you can win?" Song Xuesong laughed angrily, "Make such a big noise, wait until you lose, I'll see how you end." ”
Song Xuesong has been watching this farce from the sidelines.
The waiter of Duyun Mansion adheres to the reserve of the largest restaurant in Huizhou, and generally never interferes with the choice of guests, and this is how the master of ceremonies has repeatedly reminded him several times.
It can be seen how unexpected this gamble is.
Zhu Luan glanced at the master of ceremonies beside him, "If the amount is too big, can't you stop this field?" ”
"Actually, it's not because of this," the master of ceremonies smiled helplessly, "There have been millions of bets in the Dusk Cloud Club, and as for the amount that can't be afforded, it has never been over, and we are not short of this money......
This is helpless, but there is a faint arrogance.
"But it's ...... the eldest young master now," the master of ceremonies was about to explain that it was because the eldest young master did not come, when suddenly an elderly attendant hurriedly walked up to the stage and handed him a note.
After the master of ceremonies opened it, his face was surprised, but the whole person immediately became confident.
"It's no problem now," he said with a smile, "you two can play to your heart's content," the emcee is still the same emcee, but the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are a little more domineering.
"You can bet as much as you want, and when the gambling game is over, even if you can't take out so much money for a while, Dusk Cloud Tower will never be in arrears, and you will not let others default."
The master of ceremonies looked at Zhu Luan and said politely, "Whoever bets is like this." ”
The implication is that if Zhu Luan can't afford to make this bet, they will do whatever it takes to make her come up with this money, even in the face of the little girl, they will not show mercy.
Zhu Luan nodded.
"The so-called gambling is stimulated by the fact that both parties are burdened with the same amount of risk." She smiled.
The master of ceremonies took one last look at her, and his heart moved slightly.
He has been immersed in the casino for many years, and he can feel that this little girl is really enjoying this gambling game.
It's not that young people are vindictive, they don't want to make a windfall, but they are eager to try the excitement and risk of gambling.
The gestures are indifferent and peaceful, and they have nothing to do with the frivolity of youth.
is obviously a little girl, but she is like those real gamblers who have accumulated years.
Which child is this, how have I never seen it before, it's really unpredictable, the master of ceremonies shook his head, shouted three times and announced the final bet.
"Bet over! Taiping Mountain House Song Gongzi bet 5,540 taels! Miss Zhu of the British Mansion won the bet of 6,320 taels! ”
This turbulent gamble has finally kicked off.
