Chapter 6 Gambling House
"You won't ......" Before Helena could finish her words, Yun Qi had already walked to the door of the gambling house and lifted the blue curtain.
"That's right, this is our first stop."
As one of the three major gambling houses in Edo, the Tenzo Gambling House has a strong Edo atmosphere inside, and the decoration style of the old Japanese era is extremely prominent here.
And there are countless people here, from all walks of life, pawn traders, and all kinds of people.
They all stood in front of the tables, concentrating on betting and gambling.
Pieces of oval-shaped coins are thrown into the pressed position, and then in a cheer or sigh, complete the gambling again and again.
"Time is pressing, not the time to gamble." Helena said anxiously.
Tie Feng also has little interest in gambling, and he would rather accept the meager 5-point reward of a casino security guard than waste his time in a smoky place.
"Even if you are addicted to gambling, then you must at least have the capital to bet." Helena saw that persuasion was ineffective, so she changed her way.
But when she saw a silver ancient coin that Yun Qi had conjured up from the coat of arms, Helena had to close the words she had thought about behind heraldic.
[Ancient silver coins: non-grade currency props, the number of 10, this is a silver silver coin from the mysterious East, with a strong historical atmosphere, is a witness of time, the traces of time. Evaluation: It is said that it was hard currency in the ancient East, and you can also sell it directly to the space for 500 reincarnation points. 】
This ancient silver coin from the world of the previous quest comes in handy.
Yun Qi found a gambling table with fewer people, and directly put 10 ancient silver coins in his hand to play, but his eyes were staring at the dice shaken by the owner of the cabinet (the ancient name, in fact, it is the modern dealer).
"Bet big and bet small. Buy and go! The hands of the cabinet owner shook the pitch-black **** regularly, allowing the three dice inside to make a regular impact sound, and after the third shake, the weight was put down like a light ****.
The few gamblers around immediately placed their bets on the printed size.
Ancient coins with Japanese characteristics were quickly piled up, and there were oval copper coins that were different from those of Brother Kongfang. There are also square silver coins, but there is no gold to be seen, and there are very few silver coins.
Yun Qi slapped it with a palm, and was landing in the "big" betting position, but his eyes were staring at the cabinet owner without moving, and after making sure that the other party's expression had changed slightly, the hand holding 10 silver coins slowly moved away from the gambling table.
Once the hand leaves, it means that the bet is complete, at this time. If you renege, the casino won't agree.
"Wait!" A person who looked like a steward didn't know where to come from, he came to the table where Yun Qi was, and took a coin that was completely different from the Japanese silver coin, obviously a little puzzled about this unfamiliar coin.
"How come I've never seen a coin like this?" The man questioned Yun Qi in a serious tone, it seemed that once the other party showed cowardice, then he must turn his face and clean up Yun Qi as a liar.
10 coins that even the main god is sure of. Yun Qi didn't worry about the other party manipulating the value of the coins at all.
He said with an unchanged face: "The coins from the Ming Dynasty, Tong Su is not bullied. Through and through. ”
In 1614, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, although Middle-earth began to show the fatigue of the people, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had unified Japan, led all the elite to attack Korea, but was wiped out by the Wanli Emperor's troops sent by less than one-third of their troops. This led to the rapid decline of the Toyotomi Hideyoshi family. Only then was the puppet loyal courtier, Tokugawa Ieyasu, grasped the imperial platform and became the real leader of the Fuso Kingdom.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Fusang people at that time, the Ming Dynasty was still a behemoth that they could hardly match.
originally thought that the Ming Dynasty was a lie, and it would not be difficult for them to be convenient. Who knows, the main thing is not as easy to fool as Yun Qi imagined: "Nonsense, haven't you seen **** coins when I do?" I want to fool around with something I've never seen before, come on! ”
Suddenly, four or five short, strong-bodied thugs jumped out from behind the gambling house with sticks, and were ready to throw out the blind guy in front of them.
"Slow, I think you're misunderstood. I didn't say it was a Ming Dynasty coin. Yun Qi was not afraid of danger, and said in a kind voice.
Maybe it was affected by the temperament exuded from Yun Qi's body, or it could be the effect of the sixth sense of vigilance, and the main person signaled the thugs not to do it first.
"I just told you that these coins came from the Ming Dynasty, in fact, they are silver coins obtained during the trade between the Ming Dynasty and the countries of the Western Regions, although they are of different quality, but their actual value is no different. If you don't believe me, you can check the purity of the silver coin. ”
The person in charge was skeptical, but for the Ming Dynasty, which lifted the sea ban at that time, it was not a new thing to produce silver coins from other countries in trade, whether by land or by sea or land. All you need to do is bring in a special colorist to determine the purity of the silver coin, and then settle it into the corresponding exchange coin according to the purity.
As one of the three major gambling houses in Edo, the Tenzo Gambling House has a special appraiser, a half-bald old man with a lewd figure, under the leadership of a special person, who did an appraisal of 10 silver coins one by one, and came up with an astonishing answer that the purity content of the silver coins was as high as 99% or more.
You must know that in the past when the alchemy technology was not perfect, the purity of silver rarely exceeded 80%, and there was also a rare official silver, which was rarely seen by the people.
As a result, the value of the 10 silver coins doubled. The higher the purity, the longer the price will be doubled, which is a common practice in the ancient market.
After the silver coin issue was finalized, the gambling continued.
Open the ****, and it becomes a logical thing for Yunqi to win money.
"How did you do that?" Helena on the side pushed Yunqi up.
Yun Qi smiled, it was inconvenient for him to say it in the casino, but it didn't mean that he couldn't let Helena understand.
He pointed lightly at Helena, and the magic of the spirit rhino heart trick acted on Helena, so he secretly told her what he wanted in his heart.
It turns out that in ancient times, casinos never made money safely, and almost all casinos would play some small tricks.
The larger the casino, the more stringent the requirements for choosing a teller (dealer), and often there are few brushes that cannot be used as a countermaster.
The reason why Yun Qi chose to play by shaking the dice, in summary, is because it is easier to control the points of the dice by shaking the dice.
The reason why Yun Qi pressed all the silver coins as soon as he came up just now was to look at the changes in the face of the other party's cabinet owner - since he knew the points in the ****, he would definitely not show any clues when he knew that he was losing.
In this way, Yun Qi won ten in a row, and each time he passed three levels, Rao is a big gambling house, and he was a little unbearable. (To be continued.) )
