As soon as you cross the threshold, the pungent smell hits your face.
The strong smell of alcohol, sweat, and an unspeakable smell mixed together was very overpowering.
Chu Qing quickly covered his nose, and Chang Xian and Tao Shaozhang also took a small step back.
There were a dozen or so tables scattered around the room, and there were a variety of games. Only seven or eight people were betting money with red eyes, mostly playing guessing games, that is, guessing the size.
Tao Shaozhang frowned and said, "What are you doing in this smoky place?"
"You don't understand this, Pandao, do you understand?"
"Is Zhang Yun here?"
"Probably not here."
"Then why do you still come here?"
Chu Qing rolled his eyes: "Looking for trouble, do you have any money?"
Tao Shaozhang subconsciously covered his left cuff: "I didn't bring it."
"Your limbs have betrayed you, take out the money quickly."
Tao Shaozhang shook his head repeatedly: "If you want to make money, I won't give it to you."
"I'm just fooling around to lose money."
Tao Shaozhang's head shook faster: "Since I've lost money, I can't lend it to you."
"Going to gamble and lose, Fu San yelled at the cheater, started a conflict, and finally made the second prince look frightened and blackmailed him. Isn't this a successful attempt to find trouble?"
Changxian smiled and said, "Listen to Master Chu."
Tao Shaozhang's face was full of hesitation, and he took out a purse from his sleeve, feeling very confused.
"Bring it here." Fu San grabbed the purse and handed it to Chu Qing in a clumsy manner.
Fu San had nothing to do with this young minister of Dali Temple.
The princes are all respectful to my young master. You are nothing. My young master has been in a prison.
Chu Qing opened his purse with a look of disdain on his face.
Just forty coins, not a single banknote.
Tao Shaozhang reminded pitifully: "If you borrowed it from me, you will have to pay it back in the future."
Chu Qing looked at Changxian: "Do you have any money?"
Changxian shook his head: "The student has not touched money for many years."
"Then are you going to change your bank next step?"
Rolling his eyes, Chu Qing handed the purse to Fu San: "Go and play a few games."
"Master, I just came out of the palace a few days ago. I'm in bad luck. I'm not lucky. I can't gamble."
Changxian: “…”
Chu Qing said happily: "I didn't let you win, I let you lose."
"How can it happen? Casinos are like war. When you are in battle, you have to fight to the death. You have to win. You need to win. You can't just think about losing." Fu San said with a stubborn look: "Those who think about losing are all dogs. You are a coward, but you don’t want to gamble when you are young.”
Pointing at Tao Shaozhang, Fu San said: "Why don't you let Mr. Tao go? He looks like an unlucky guy. He will definitely lose."
Tao Shaozhang sneered: "You thought I was stupid and lost at my hands. How could your young master pay me back?"
Chu Qinghao said angrily: "If you lose, it's mine, if you win, it's yours. Tell the front desk and I'll give you an extra clock."
Tao Shaozhang: "Why don't you write an IOU?"
Changxian began to despise this guy, and said angrily: "Go quickly, it's only a few dozen coins, and I will give it to you in the future."
"oh."
Reluctantly, Tao Shaozhang took the money, looked around, and then came to the wooden table where most people could only guess the size.
Seven or eight people, all nearby common people or idlers, were making a lot of noise. Tao Shaozhang frowned and frowned.
Chu Qing gradually got used to the pungent smell here, and brought Fu San and Chang Xian to the place behind Tao Shaozhang.
There are two pictures carved on the wooden stick, one is a chicken and the other is a duck, with a red circle drawn below.
Tao Shaozhang asked: "What does this mean?"
Chu Qing shrugged: "Chicken is playing basketball."
Fukusan explained how to play, which is actually to guess the size. The wooden stick is buckled in the bowl. There is a simple mechanism under the table. You can change the position under the table. One to one, if you win, you will get twice as much, if you lose...
Lost.
Tao Shaozhang looked like someone with mysophobia, hunched his shoulders and squeezed into the crowd, and took out a penny from his wallet, as if he was going to pledge the deed to the Tao Mansion.
Changxian couldn't stand his grinding, so he grabbed his wallet and poured the money on the table: "Push all in."
If he wasn't the second prince, his aura would be as if the stake was not his money.
Of course, in fact it is not his money.
The banker was a big, round man with a beard that was almost hairy on his heart. He shouted angrily: "Bet big, bet small."
Tao Shaozhang was very nervous: "Big."
"opened."
As soon as the man reached his hand under the table, Tao Shaozhang shouted: "Little, little, little."
"opened."
"Wait a minute." Tao Shaozhang shouted again: "Open the gate, hold the gate, I'll hold the gate."
"Why the hell are you buying big or small?"
Tao Shaozhang frowned: "Why are you so full of foul language and so vulgar!"
Chu Qing interjected: "Ignore him, go ahead."
The man glared at Tao Shaozhang, flipped under the table twice, opened the bowl, and actually hit it. It was a big one, forty coins, which turned into eighty coins in the blink of an eye.
Tao Shaozhang was slightly confused: "Won?"
The man said nothing and walked out with eighty yuan.
Tao Shaozhang quickly put away all eighty articles.
Chu Qing said happily: "Keep on guarding."
"Whatever you pledge, my father said, don't push the envelope too far." Tao Shaozhang happily put the eighty coins into his wallet.
"Your father also told you to study and not raise pigs." Chu Qing grabbed the purse, poured the money out, and said in a low voice: "Don't forget what we are here to do."
The man squinted his eyes: "Big or small?"
Tao Shaozhang gritted his teeth: "Big!"
The man opened the bowl, and it was still a big one. He hit it again. The people next to him, whether they were winning or losing, looked at Tao Shaozhang with envy.
Chu Qing shrugged: "Beginner's luck."
Tao Shaozhang didn't take any money this time, so he slapped the table: "It's still big, go all-in!"
The man opened the porcelain bowl again and won three times in a row. In the blink of an eye, Tao Shaozhang actually won 280 coins.
Fu San muttered: "This guy is pretty lucky."
Tao Shaozhang gritted his teeth, but still didn't take the money: "Little!"
The fourth time, I won again, 320 guan, doubled, and got 640 guan.
"Haha." Tao Shaozhang rolled up his sleeves and raised his voice a bit: "All in, kid!"
The porcelain bowl was opened, and Chu Qing, who was just watching the excitement, was convinced. Tao Shaozhang had won again.
"All-in, big!"
It was jaw-dropping. Tao Shaozhang won five games in a row, and the men began to curse.
Chu Qing was surprised that Tao Shaozhang's gambling luck was so good.
