Chapter 136 Gambling

The Qinhuai River during the day is naturally not too lively, and there are many pedestrians on the street, and the best business will definitely not be the Qinglou boats, but the gambling houses.

Yang Xin followed the flow of people to the door of the largest gambling house on the street, only to see that the plaque at the door said "Good Luck Gambling House" four big characters, there were four thugs standing at the door who seemed to be very strong, a woman in her forties saw Yang Xin and others lingering at the door, and felt closer than seeing her own mother, and walked over enthusiastically.

"A few masters, we have an event in the gambling house today, and we will send a lottery when we enter the door, come in and take a look?"

The woman introduced enthusiastically, and Fan Yuxuan on the side was full of disdain, and said to Yang Xin: "I know you never gamble, why do you want to enter the casino today, good luck casino, this name is too cheesy!" ”

Yang Xin laughed and said: "Cheesy is cheesy, but business is very good, you see, it is already overcrowded!" ”

The woman hurriedly said: "Master, when I see you, you are rich and powerful, and there is a seat upstairs, come in, the slave family promises to arrange it for you properly." ”

Yang Xin nodded, and walked in with Fan Yuxuan and Wei Wu's guards, this casino is quite novel, there is a huge roulette wheel on the outer wall of the door, marked with numbers, the woman explained: "Master, this is the lottery, every half an hour, a number will be drawn, seven numbers will be drawn every day, and if you win the lottery, you can get a grand prize of one hundred taels of silver, and each guest who enters the door will give a lottery ticket for free, you are here, please take it." ”

As he spoke, he counted seven lottery tickets from the big man on the side, and Wei Wu hurriedly took them.

Fan Yuxuan listened to it and thought to herself, this shopkeeper is really good at doing business.

Sure enough, when I got to the casino, it looked different from ordinary casinos everywhere, and the strangest thing was that there was a room on the left, and the word "dang" was written at the door.

What's even more strange is that there is a corridor in the elegant seat on the second floor, which is directly connected to a green building next to it, and at this time there are a few girls dressed up in fancy clothes standing in the corridor to show off coquettish to the gamblers downstairs.

Yang Xin laughed and said: "Shopkeeper, your gambling house is really interesting, if you lose money to the left, you can be a local house, and if you win money, there is a girl from the Qinglou." ”

The woman could speak: "Uncle, if we open the door to do business, the customer is God, so naturally we must entertain well." ”

Yang Xin was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Who taught you this?" ”

The woman was also stunned, and said with a smile: "Naturally, our owner has confessed." ”

Yang Xin was strange in his heart, this sentence came from later generations, he didn't believe that people in this era had begun to say that the customer was God, and the owner of this gambling house had a great background.

Yang Xin nodded and said, "If you have the opportunity to be in charge, you must introduce your owner to me." ”

Yang Xin didn't go upstairs to the elegant seat, but went to the first floor and went to the table with the most people, here is hundred! Jia Le, Yang Xin didn't understand much, and asked Fan Yuxuan: "How do you play this?" ”

Fan Yuxuan glanced at him, obviously she didn't know how to gamble, so she didn't come in to join in the fun, although she never gambled, but after all, she was a big family, and she had seen this kind of thing, and said: "It's very simple, try your luck, bet on the size of the points shaken out by the dealer, win if you bet right, and lose if you are wrong." ”

Yang Xin nodded, and said with a smile: "That's right, try your luck." ”

Wei Wu and the others had already dispersed several fanatical gamblers and made room for Yang Xin and the others.

A man was anxious and said: "Do you bet or not, it's about to open, don't bet and give me the seat!" ”

Yang Xin turned his head and saw a young man, who was not very old and was fifteen or sixteen years old, and he looked like a child of a big family.

Yang Xin smiled and asked, "Do you think this one should be bought big or small?" ”

The young man hurriedly said: "Naturally, I bought a big one, and I have already opened three small ones in a row, and I don't believe that it is still small, this one is all pressed, and it is pressed!" ”

Yang Xin hurriedly pulled Fan Yuxuan out, gave up the position to the young man, and said, "Okay, the little brother has knowledge, and I will press you down!" ”

The young man was overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to press all the twenty taels of silver in his arms, Yang Xin smiled, and said, "You pressed too little, I pressed one thousand taels!" ”

Everyone in the field was quiet, and it was not for nothing that there were high rollers who pressed a thousand taels in one breath, but generally when they were in a hurry, this person would press a thousand taels when they came in, and it was a gambling size with no technical content at all, and these gamblers were really frightened, and even the hands of the casino guys shaking the dice were a little trembling, and their heads were full of cold sweat.

The young man was indeed ecstatic, thinking to himself, others dared to bet with him for a thousand taels, and even the dealer was scared out of a cold sweat.

With the rotation of the dice, in the end it is one, two, three, and three points small!

The dealer wiped his sweat, and the 1,000 taels of silver in front of Yang Xin and the 20 taels of silver from the young man were all taken away.

Fan Yuxuan almost laughed and said, "If you don't know how to play, you have to play so big, you can't lose to death!" ”

Yang Xin glanced at her and said, "Lao Tzu has a lot of money, can you manage it?" ”

At this time, in the casino, everyone is already speculating, who is this tall man?

And the boy who lost the money looked at the card table with an incredulous face and said, "How can you open four small ones in a row, it's too evil, right?" ”

Yang Xin smiled and said: "Little brother, I see that you are quite researched, give me some pointers if you have nothing to do, buy big or small next?" ”

"Buy big!"

The young man said without hesitation, almost shouting: "Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, and he can still open five small ones in a row!" ”

"Okay, I'll support you next, this time it's two thousand taels! Buy big! ”

Yang Xin said without hesitation.

Fan Yuxuan was dumbfounded and said, "You won't really be addicted to gambling, right?" ”

The gamblers in the audience were so shocked that even the gamblers in the private seat stopped gambling and walked to the corridor to watch.

The boy asked, "Why did you want to bet two thousand taels this time?" It's safer to bet as much at a time! ”

He had no gambling book at this time, but he also felt very honored to be the dog-headed military master of this tall high-roller, and he felt the need to teach this rookie his gambling skills.

Yang Xin said with a smile: "The reason is very simple, because Lao Tzu has a lot of money, if he loses, he will press four thousand taels, and if he loses, he will press eight thousand taels, and if he loses, he will press ten thousand taels, thirty-two thousand taels, I can lose many times, but as long as I win once, I can not only win back the capital, but also win money!" ”

As he spoke, he asked Wei Wu to take out a large pile of silver tickets, which were full of one million taels.

Everyone held their breath, their hearts were pounding, the guy who was shaking the dice was sweating profusely, he couldn't support it anymore, his legs were weak, and he kept looking at the shopkeeper.

With such a way of playing, I wonder if I can export the entire casino today.

The shopkeeper was also afraid, after all, he didn't have such good luck, the handles were all small, the key was that so many people watched, and he couldn't cheat in public, so he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "This lord, forget it, small gambling pleasure, big gambling hurts the body, the size of this gambling is also limited, each can not exceed three thousand taels." ”

Such a rule naturally did not exist before, because there had never been such a fanatical gambler before, this was completely added by the shopkeeper temporarily, and she only realized that there was a bug in her casino until today.

Yang Xin suddenly felt a little funny, and ordered Wei Wu to put away the silver ticket, and said: "There is still this rule, then forget it, after all, the first time I came to the casino, our Daxing grain shop is not far from the next door, and the shopkeeper will be regarded as neighbors in the future, so the relationship can't be broken." ”

The shopkeeper was overjoyed and said: "It turns out that the master opened a grain shop in Qinhuai River, so he has to come to take care of our business often in the future." ”

Yang Xin smiled and said: "That's natural, let's stop here today, it seems that I won't gamble, so don't make trouble here." ”

Just when everyone wanted to know who was so rich, Yang Xin took the initiative to tell the identity of the shopkeeper, and for a while, the entire casino knew about it.

This matter has become a legend, a rookie went to the casino with a million taels of silver tickets, but because he didn't understand the rules, he took the initiative to retreat after losing a thousand taels, such lace news could soon be spread to the entire Qinhuai River to know, this person is the owner of the newly opened Daxing grain shop.

The casino manager is naturally happy to spread the word, and anyway, he can take the opportunity to make the casino's reputation, and a casino that does not have one or two legends cannot be considered a good casino.

Coming out of the casino, Yang Xin was ridiculed by Fan Yuxuan for a long time, but Yang Xin said disapprerovitically: "I'm not going to gamble, I'm going to show off my wealth, spending a thousand taels of silver to advertise in such a prosperous place as Qinhuai River, you are still afraid of losing money." ”

Fan Yuxuan was stunned, thinking to herself, what this person really did was incredible, and it was a wonder that he could think of using wealth to advertise.

In this way, Yang Xin took Fan Yuxuan in and out of the casino all day long, Qinglou, not for anything else, just to make a name for himself, and when he arrived at the Qinglou, he also spent a lot of money if he didn't come, and it seemed that he was generous, and in less than three days, everyone in the entire Qinhuai River knew about it, and no one knew about it.

On the third day, the whole Nanjing city of Daxing grain shop opened at the same time, each grain shop door is noisy gongs and drums, so lively.

The casino boy of the day was a piece of furniture at home on this day, and made a hundred taels of silver, just passing by the Daxing grain store that was opening, remembering the legendary experience of that day, I felt a little familiar with that person, so I entered the store with the silver to see, and he also had a lot of people who were curious to see, and there were many people at the door.

I saw an old man with seven or eight men and maidservants, those maids are all as beautiful as flowers, more beautiful than the red card in the green building, is warmly entertaining everyone into the store, to the store, everyone was surprised to find that there is no grain in the grain shop, the old man just warmly entertained everyone to sit down, the guys and maids enthusiastically poured tea for everyone, and there were free pastries and snacks.

Everyone was surprised, but there was a seat to sit, and there was a servant girl who ate and drank, and there were eye-catching maidservants, and everyone didn't care to sit for a while.

The old man and the others were almost there, there were about 20 people, and then he said: "Everyone, this store opened today, selling not grain, but the grain stamps of my Daxing grain shop, you can buy food stamps, you can at the end of next month, at the price of one or two dollars per bucket, come to the Daxing grain shop head office, that is, the place of Daxing Qianzhuang to buy the grain stamps corresponding to the face value of the grain stamps, the grain stamps are clearly written, everyone understands?" ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, they had never heard of grain being sold like this, and a few people who really wanted to buy grain stood up and were ready to leave, they had no rice at home, so naturally they could not wait until the end of next month.

A few beautiful maidservants hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, guest officer, we have an opening event today, and each bucket of food stamps only costs a penny." ”

"A penny?"

Everyone's eyes widened, thinking to themselves, I'm afraid that a penny will be disliked even if it is sent to Hanako, there is such a preferential event, it is okay to listen to it, so they hurriedly sat down again.

The old man continued: "Yes, that's right, today's opening discount, each bucket of food stamps is only sold for a penny, everyone knows, now the price of food is rising every day, our owner is reluctant to sell the grain now, but don't worry, buy our food stamps, no matter what price the grain rises at the end of next month, you can buy food at today's price with this food stamp, with food stamps, everyone is not afraid of food price increases!" ”

The old man agitated like a spring, and the audience was dumbfounded.

What he said was so reasonable, and it was not expensive to buy an insurance penny, so everyone took out one or two pieces of silver, and said, "Buy me a grain stamp of 100 stones!" ”

The maidservant didn't take the money, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, guest officer, today is the opening event, and each person is limited to one stone, if you want to buy more, please be early tomorrow." ”

The man's eyes widened and he said, "What else is going on?" Well, since it's the rule, give me a one-stone food stamp! ”

He didn't care at all, and he wouldn't really buy a hundred stone at the end of next month, just to buy more for a cheaper time, and instinctively felt that the real value of such a food stamp was far more than a penny, even if he couldn't buy that much, he could transfer it to others.

Rich people are not stupid, and their IQ is leveraged.

The maidservant hurriedly collected ten cents from him and gave him a food stamp of one stone.

Due to the city's purchase limit of 1,000 stones, each of the ten stores only has a purchase limit of 100 stones, more than 20 people here, each person bought a stone, some people think that there is a cheap to earn, at the end of next month the price of grain must have risen, more than one or two dollars a bucket, such food stamps are earned, they have to go back to inform relatives and friends to buy, after a while, a large number of people came, and instantly bought out the 100 stone food stamps, a total of only one or two silver.

Fan Yuxuan looked at the crowd of people downstairs who were frantically rushing to buy, and said to Yang Xin with a wry smile: "I don't know what you think, after a busy day, I sold a tael of silver, and I spent tens of thousands of taels on visiting the Qinglou Casino in the past few days, I see when you can earn it back." ”

Yang Xin was not in a hurry, looked downstairs calmly, and said: "Wait and see, the show is about to be staged, let's take it slowly, and the method used to deal with smart people can't be too simple and rude." ”

When the food stamps were sold out, a maidservant girl walked to the front of the lobby, took off the sign of a penny and a bucket, and replaced it with a "Food stamps sold today!" ”

Most of the customers downstairs did not leave, most of them came to see the excitement, many of them were bored to visit the Qinglou, the kind of rich children who came in to drink, as well as free pastries, eye-catching maids, and they were not in a hurry to go out.

I just sat down to brag and fart with my friends, but the ones who really wanted to buy food really left, listened patiently to the maidservant, bought food stamps and left, and they had to go to the grain store to buy food.

One of the four scholars at one of the tables was originally visiting the Qinglou together, purely attracted by the beautiful maidservants of the Daxing grain shop, one of them said: "Brother Zhang, this Daxing grain shop is indeed a bit strange, I thought that the price of this grain would rise, today it is one or two dollars, and if it rises to one or two dollars tomorrow, then the food stamps bought by this penny are not worth a penny of silver?" ”

As soon as the man said this, the other three people were moved at the same time, and one of them was stunned and said: "In today's situation, even if the price of food rises by two or three dollars a day, it is normal, if it is really as Brother Wen said, then today's penny can become a hundred wen tomorrow, and it will increase a hundred times in one day, which is also terrifying!" ”

The four of them are all scholars, and their brains are very smart, and they can figure out the accounts at once.

One of them said: "Brother Qian's account is good, but unfortunately the shopkeeper is limited to 100 stones, even if Brother Qian buys it all, it will only be one or two pieces of silver, and it will only be a hundred taels for you to multiply it a hundred times." ”

The surname Qian said: "Hehe, a hundred times? I don't think it's all, what if the price of food rises to two taels? That's a thousand times, don't underestimate this tael of silver, if the price of grain rises to two taels, it will be worth a thousand taels. ”

Everyone was shocked, although they had money in their family, but the pocket money of 1,000 taels of silver was not a small amount.

Qian continued: "And you see that this shopkeeper has such a big shop, do you think he will be a person who does a business of one or two silver?" Today is just a little sweetness for everyone, and I believe that he will inevitably sell more food stamps in the future, but the price is definitely not today's price. ”

The four of them suddenly understood, made eye contact with each other, nodded one after another, and then the four of them scattered into the crowd.

Qian walked to a table of people who looked poorer, and said with a smile: "Everyone, the small family will have to do a happy event next month, and there will be more food at the end of the month. ”

There are two people who don't care, they originally came to see the excitement, bought a stone of grain stamps and spent ten yuan, and now someone spent one hundred yuan to buy, and instantly earned ninety yuan, it was the excitement to see, the money was also earned, and the benefits were taken up, and they hurriedly took out the food stamps, collected the copper money, and smiled from ear to ear.

But the remaining three people are unwilling, they always feel weird, a hundred dollars is not too much, they are not too rare, everyone has this kind of mentality, and what someone rushes to ask for must be a good thing.

Qian said a lot of things, but he didn't agree, so he had to give up, walked away to find the next target, and turned around, and actually let him receive a six-stone food stamp.

At this time, everyone in the field was not calm, and the people who sold the food stamps were surprised to find that many people began to learn from these four people to find people to buy food stamps everywhere, and some of them had already come out of the twenty wen, and they immediately regretted it.

At this moment, several people suddenly rushed into the grain store, they carried the grain on their backs, and shouted to the people in the store: "If any of you have food stamps to sell, I will buy them for fifty wen a bucket." ”

Everyone was stunned, in less than half a day, the food stamps had risen fiftyfold!

Even the robbery was not so fast.
