Chapter 49: Gambling
"Brother Li, let's have fun. Bao Haoyu smiled.
"Uh-huh. Li Yanzhi, who was holding the big ingot, couldn't even bother to look back, and after hurriedly responding, he hurried towards the nearest gambling table.
The smile in the corner of Bao Haoyu's eyes was even stronger, knowing that he had successfully completed the task arranged today.
10,000 taels of silver is a bait, and a poor boy from a poor country will never be able to resist such a big temptation.
10,000 taels of silver, although it can also be replaced by a thin silver ticket, Bao Haoyu still ordered someone to exchange it for real money, in order to be more shocking, so that the kid couldn't refuse.
With this set and the medicinal effect of finger wrapping, I'm afraid that this kid won't even have his pants left tonight.
Bao Haoyu made a color, and the shopkeeper Tong, who had been waiting for a long time, opened the curtain and walked out. rushed towards the table where Li Yanzhi and Bao were today.
"What do the Hakka want to play?" After waving his hand to let the original dealer on the card table leave, the newly replaced shopkeeper Tong asked Li Yanzhi very politely.
"Dice, bet on the size. Li Yanzhi said.
He's always liked this kind of simple and crude gameplay.
Suddenly, the shopkeeper Tong skillfully picked up the dice, and suddenly there was a crisp sound of a string of dice colliding in the Gu made of black paulownia wood.
The palm-sized black Gu was like a dexterous plaything in the white and fat palm of the shopkeeper Tong, turning in a dazzling posture, and finally fell on the table with a "sonorous".
"Buy big and buy small?"
"Small. ”
Shopkeeper Tong and Li Yanzhi spoke very concisely. While Li Yanzhi said that he was small, he bet all the 10,000 taels of silver on it.
Everyone was shocked, even the shopkeeper Tong was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect Li Yanzhi to bet all the money.
I've seen a lot of big bets, but it's the first time I've seen it when I got so big and bet all my net worth.
Many gamblers seem to notice that the air here is something unusual, and they have turned their eyes sideways to look this way.
When everyone's eyes looked back and forth between Li Yanzhi and Shopkeeper Tong, the index finger of Shopkeeper Tong's right hand seemed to inadvertently tap on the table.
The corners of Li Yanzhi's mouth raised slightly.
The shopkeeper opened the dice - one, two, three. It's really small, and it can't be smaller.
So Li Yanzhi's principal, plus the 10,000 taels of silver tickets from the gambling house he won, were all assigned to Li Yanzhi's side.
The shopkeeper Tong's face was as usual, and the sound of "jingling" sounded again.
The second game starts again.
When the black Gu turned around in the hands of the shopkeeper Tong like a butterfly wearing flowers, and after a crisp sound of "clang", the Gu fell on the table again.
"Bet big and bet small?"
"Great. ”
While Li Yanzhi spoke, he staked all his net worth, 10,000 taels of silver and 10,000 taels of silver tickets.
Quiet!
There were more than a dozen gambling tables near the gambling table where Li Yanzhi was, and those who could see the situation on his side were silent.
Shopkeeper Tong didn't seem to notice the shaped* gaze around him, and this time he didn't tap the table with his right index finger as if inadvertently, but directly uncovered the Guzi.
Four, five, six.
It's too big!
So 10,000 taels of silver and three silver tickets of 10,000 taels were all assigned to Li Yanzhi's side.
At this time, there was a slight commotion in the crowd - because the young man in front of him earned 30,000 taels of silver in just two games, which was really enviable.
And the shopkeeper Tong who lost did not change his face. Even those who are familiar with him can see from his slightly raised eyebrows that he is in a pretty good mood.
He's a casino veteran. The trick of inviting you into the urn has been used not thousands of times, but hundreds of times - if you want to design a person, you must first let him taste the sweetness.
The style of the shopkeeper Tong has always been to let the other party win ten games first, and then slowly clean up. This is called saluting first and then soldiering.
As for how to ensure that the opponent has been winning the first ten games, it is very simple, losing is also winning, and winning is winning. If you lose, you can use the god finger of the shopkeeper Tong to change the size of the dice to ensure that the other party wins.
Just like the first bet with Li Yanzhi, he lost it, but after a gentle tap of the index finger of the right hand of the shopkeeper, it suddenly became a win.
After so many years of gambling life, he has already figured out a set of truths, that is, the more you win in the first ten games, the more ruthless you will lose, and the worse you will lose in the end.
Because that's the gambler's mentality. If you win, you want to win again, and if you lose, you want to win back what you lost.
The more you win upfront, the more the gambler will feel like you've lost. Later, the greater the desire and determination to turn the book on, the deeper the sinking will be.
So after losing 30,000 taels in just two games, others felt distressed for the shopkeeper Tong, and only he was happy in his heart.
In fact, he doesn't approve of Bao Haoyu's use of indiscriminate finger twisting and softness, the effect of this thing is at best at the mercy of people to a certain extent - for example, if a gambler loses a bet, even if he always wants to turn the book, but in the end there is no hope of turning the book, or when reason overcomes a little bit of gambling, he will choose not to gamble. But with the finger wrapping, it will ensure that the gambler will continue to gamble, and the remnants of reason will never emerge. Unless the person who drugged them wants to stop, the gambler can't afford to stop on his own.
role, that's all.
With his shopkeeper's divine finger, he doesn't need to twist his fingers, and he is confident that he will eat and wipe him clean before the young man in front of him recovers his senses, and he will lose his family.
Bao Haoyu's purpose tonight is to win over the coffin shop in Willow Lane, Li Yanzhi Flower Street. What the shopkeeper Tong has to do is to leave Li Yanzhi and Bao with no pants left today.
I have always thought very clearly and thoroughly in my heart, so the confidence of the shopkeeper Tong is extraordinarily sufficient.
In the third game, like the first two games, Li Yanzhi still bet all his net worth, and in the same way, he still won.
So Li Yanzhi now has 80,000 taels on hand.
In the fourth game, 160,000 taels.
"Wow, it's like divine help, what to bet on!"
"I'm going to bet too!"
"Win money with this boy!"
......
If the people around the first few games were still watching the excitement and the scene was a little hot, since the fourth game, it has been boiling.
The onlookers looked at the 160,000 taels of silver tickets with extremely hot eyes, and won so much in just a quarter of an hour. This is no less lethal to gamblers than one*.
They all wish that they were this young man, that they would win the 160,000 taels of silver, and that they would bet with this young man earlier, and now they would win more.
So for a while, two-thirds of the people in the casino gathered at Li Yanzhi's table, scrambling to bet with Li Yanzhi.
There are too many people, and some of them can't get in front of the money at all, so they can only let their friends who are already crowded in front of them bet on themselves.
The scene is extremely lively!
In fact, Li Yanzhi only won four games in a row, which is not very rare in casinos.
But the problem is that the white silver in front of him is too convincing, and in the blink of an eye, 150,000 taels of silver will be credited, and this impact makes gamblers completely crazy.
So when it came to the fifth game, Li Yanzhi bet small, in addition to his 160,000 taels, there were other gamblers who bet 60,000 taels in large and small, piecemeal.
The stakes in this game have exceeded 200,000 taels!
This kind of gamble is rare in the whole gambling house!
Everyone looked excited, and their eyes were firmly fixed on the black Gu in the hands of Shopkeeper Tong.
