Chapter 16: Entry
Mr. Tan Da laughed and asked the shopkeeper Fan to help arrange a remote guest room in the backyard, as well as all the gambling equipment of the money stall.
These are all ready-made things, Shopkeeper Fan beckoned his fellows, and in a moment it was already cleaned up. Mr. Tan Da took Erchou and Zheng Caiban to the remote guest room in the backyard, and first explained how to do this bureau.
According to Mr. Tan Da, everyone is familiar with the gameplay of the Money Baizi Stall, the rules seem to be rigorous, but it is not without hands, and it takes three people to cooperate with each other to complete this game in order to slaughter the fat sheep.
The key to the game is that when the dealer comes out, he must find a way to hint to the two partners about the remainder of the copper coin, and then either of the two partners will preemptively bet the remainder of the point, so that the fat sheep will not win anyway.
The problem is that according to the rules, the dealer is closing his eyes to grab the money, and even he does not know how many copper coins he has in his hand. The trick to cheating is that after the dealer finishes the first stall, he puts all the copper coins back in the leather bag, but does not let go, just grabs the money in the bag, and picks up one or two coins at the same time, or throws away one or two coins, so that the remainder changes.
As for how to hint to the companion, when the dealer hides the money at the bottom of the bowl and buckles it, and then presses the bamboo pole to the bottom of the bowl, the specific amount is given by different techniques of holding the bamboo pole. For example, the dealer uses two fingers to hold a bamboo pole, the remainder is one, the remainder of three fingers is two, and so on.
As long as the three of them are proficient in this technique, the fat sheep will only be left to be slaughtered.
Zheng Caiban's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said in his heart, this trip to the county town is worth it, not only to eat, drink and have fun, but also to learn a skill, and when he returns to the sect, he will also find two handymen who have a good relationship, and do him a few rounds.
Next, Mr. Tan Da personally demonstrated how to set up a stall and how to hint, and let Erchou and Zheng Caiban rehearse many times, and everyone felt that there was no problem, so they informed the shopkeeper Fan that the knife had been sharpened and was ready to slaughter the fat sheep!
The three of them were also separated from each other, just waiting for dinner, and then the shopkeeper Fan set up the game, and then pretended to be unfamiliar with each other, and went to this room to slaughter fat sheep together.
Zheng Caiban pretended to have something in his heart, he was absent-minded about eating dinner, and his nervousness was one thing, and the most important thing was that he was worried that there were not enough spirit stones. He came to the county town this time and advanced a middle-grade spirit stone from the sect, and in addition to buying fishy fruit, there were some miscellaneous things to buy. In addition, what really belonged to him was seven or eight low-level spirit stones.
The net worth of seven or eight low-level spirit stones is definitely rich in the miscellaneous servants of the sect, even more than most of the outer disciples, and this is also thanks to the fat difference he has done. But listen to Mr. Tan Da's meaning, the night of the gambling game, the bet is not capped, in case he sits in the bank, the gentleman goes crazy and makes a heavy bet, and he can't take out the spirit stone to call the bet, wouldn't it be miserable?
Zheng Caiban had dinner with gains and losses, and he was afraid of delaying the big event, so he even tasted the wine.
He returned to his guest room and drank spiritual tea for a while, and the shopkeeper Fan came over and knocked on the door: "Immortal Master Zheng, at the invitation of your guests, the small shop will open a money stall tonight, are you interested?"
This was discussed by them in advance, and in order to avoid the fat sheep from being suspicious, the shopkeeper Fan secretly asked the fat sheep to come forward to save the game.
Zheng Procurement hurriedly put down the tea bowl and laughed loudly: "I happen to be going to the gambling house, since there is a game in the store, why bother to go far, hahaha." I don't know which distinguished guest is going to have a good time tonight. ”
He followed Shopkeeper Fan to the secluded guest room that was "rehearsed" during the day, pushed the door into the room, and was confronted by a fat black man in an azure satin robe, sitting there with a golden knife.
The black fat man's expression was a little impatient, and he only nodded lightly at Zheng Caiban, and then frowned and urged the shopkeeper Fan: "I said Lao Fan, what time is this, are the two you said still coming?" I knew that they were so procrastinating, I might as well go to the gambling house to play." ”
Shopkeeper Fan smiled and said, "Yan Gongzi Shao'an is not impatient, those two will be there at any time." ”
Before his words fell, Mr. Tan's hearty laughter came from outside the house: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting." ”
When the people came, Mr. Tan Da pushed the door and came in, wearing a moon-white scribe's robe, a folding fan in his hand fluttering, and his conversation temperament was even more gentle and elegant.
Behind him, there is a second ugly dressed as a businessman, although he is not as brilliant as Mr. Big, his appearance is quite consistent with his temperament.
Everyone is meeting in Pingshui and coming for money, there is no need to get to the bottom of each other, and the shopkeeper Fan only introduces the surnames of individuals to each other, and the two ugly are introduced by the shopkeeper Fan as an ugly brother, which sounds a little nondescript, but no one minds.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Yan Gongzi sent the shopkeeper Fan to replace the tea and snacks on the table with new ones, and then he couldn't wait to open the stall quickly.
Mr. Tan Da said with a smile: "Although it is easy to play with the stall, there are some rules that must be decided in advance before the stall can be opened. ”
Yan Gongzi stretched out a finger and said: "I don't care what rules you have, I only have one, that is, can you bet later, you can afford to invite you to the table, I can't afford to say it early, I don't have time to accompany you here to tease you." ”
Mr. Tan Da smiled and said nothing.
Erchou took out a bag of animal skins, threw it on the table and said, "I am doing a small business, and I have a few intermediate spirit stones left in my hand, if it is not enough to accompany you, I will turn around and leave." ”
Yan Gongzi glanced at the animal skin bag, pursed his mouth, couldn't hide his contemptuous expression, but didn't say anything strange.
Zheng Caiban's eyelids jumped on the side, but fortunately, Yan Gongzi did not continue to ask others, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to open a stall.
Mr. Tan Da stopped him and said, "We must always decide who will be the first to be the banker." ”
Yan Gongzi said: "Naturally, I came to sit in the village!"
The second ugly sneered: "Why? Who has more meat and who is the banker?"
Although Yan Gongzi is stupid, his mouth is also bright, and he sneered at each other: "If someone is ugly, let you sit in the village." ”
Mr. Tan Da stopped the two of them, put the folding fan on the table and said, "Otherwise, I will turn this fan, and whoever will sit on the village with the handle of the fan?"
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Mr. Tan Da turned the folding fan on the table, and after more than a dozen turns, the handle of the fan was pointed at him.
Zheng Caiban said in his heart, this big gentleman is really a middle and high master, although the qi refiner can also stop the fan through the secret visit of spiritual power, but the use of spiritual energy will also be detected by other monks. Mr. Tan Da obviously only relied on the strength of his hands to control the speed of the fan.
Yan Gongzi didn't talk much nonsense, anyway, the banker's win rate was not higher than that of the player. Erchou and Zheng Caiban remained silent, one left and one right stood on both sides of the dealer, Erchou was responsible for pulling money with a small bamboo stick, and Zheng Caiban's task was to gamble a game with a wooden board to help the dealer return the copper coins.
The four of them stood in their positions, and Mr. Tan Da handed out five boxes of chips to each person. The chips are polished with white animal bones, also known as bone chips, slightly thicker than toothpicks, each bone chip is the same length and thickness, one hundred is filled with a box, and five boxes are five hundred.
Mr. Tan Da proposed to let everyone count the bone chips in the box, and Yan Gongzi sneered: "No need." ”
