C8 (1/2)
After they had chatted for a while, the hotel staff brought the dishes and wine up to the table. In the end, she was still the County City's chef, and her cooking skills were not ordinary. These dishes were much better than the ones cooked in Yang Hu's house. Yang Lin was already hungry, so he did not stand on ceremony with them and continued to eat and drink.
Everyone chatted as they drank their wine. Soon, two hours had passed. Seeing that he was fine, Yang Lin pulled Yang Hu and Yang Bao along as he stood up to take his leave. Unexpectedly, Liu Pi stood up and stopped Yang Lin, Yang Hu and Yang Bao.
”Big brother Yang Lin, since we can't hunt anymore today, how about we go with the other brothers and play?”
Yang Lin was also curious, was there anything more interesting in the county town? In this era, there weren't even any poker or mahjong players. At most, they would only be able to roll the dice. However, Yang Lin's hands did feel a little itchy. In order to deal with the people coming and going in his business, he had specially trained in poker cards, mahjong, and dice.
”Oh, what are you playing at?”
When Liu Pi asked him what he wanted to play, Liu Pi knew that he would meet a hoodlum like him, whose best friends were people who liked to drink together, gamble together, fight together, and go whoring together. He immediately beamed with joy, as if he had met a family member.
”Throw dice! There's a huge casino on the third floor of this hotel, and there's a lot of people playing here. The officials of the prefectural city of Qu'an and the rich and powerful are all gambling here.” Let's go, us brothers will go up and test our luck. ”
The moment they heard about rolling the dice, the eyes of everyone in the seats emitted a green light. They were unwilling to immediately leave. Yang Lin looked at Yang Hu and Yang Bao. Seeing that they were eager to give it a try, he knew that they must have come to play often. Fine, I'll accompany them in to play.
”Alright, let's go up and take a look.”
Yang Lin followed Liu Pi and the others to the third floor, and pushed open the door to the hall. There were more than thirty tables inside, and about a hundred people were having fun inside. No one cared about them as they walked in. Only one hotel worker stepped forward and greeted them warmly.
”Everyone, please come in.”
Liu Pi waved his hands, chasing away the work, and brought the group to walk inside, he was a regular customer, many gamblers even turned to greet him and Gong Dou, they quickly found an empty table, and they all sat down.
”Let's roll the dice.”
Gong Dou waved his hand and the hotel's workers immediately ran over to send seven dice cup over. A few people carried the dice cup, opened it and saw that each dice cup had three dice. After that, everyone immediately surrounded him. smiled as he looked at everyone, and each of them carried a dice cup and placed it in front of themselves.
”How much is it?”
”Ten dollars.”
Yang Hu laughed awkwardly. He and Yang Bao usually played dice games too, but it was very small, and they were only playing around in the taverns on the streets. They had never come here before, and were looking at their brothers with their eyes.
”I didn't get much today when I came out to sell my prey.”
”Alright, let's play for ten coins.”
Without waiting for Liu Pi to speak, He Yi immediately agreed. Yang Lin smiled in his heart, it seemed like He Yi did not have much money, if he played too much, he would not be able to bear it, and immediately agreed in advance. Seeing that everyone agreed, Liu Pi could only nod his head.
”How do we play?”
Yang Lin immediately asked Liu Pi. When Liu Pi explained the rules to them, Yang Lin immediately understood their playstyle. Although they were also playing dice, there were different kinds of games going on everywhere, and their play style was quite innovative.
It turned out that each of them had a dice cup, which had three dice inside, and then they had to bet ten coins each. After throwing the dice, they didn't look at their own dice first, and started with the dealer betting money, up to a hundred dollars at a time. If the following family was blind and didn't look at the dice, they would bet the same amount of money, like looking at the dice. If the dice had a lid on the cup, then only they could see it, and for the sake of making a bet, they would have to bet twice the money. If they felt that the dice were too small, they would give up, and the money they bet first would not be needed.
And so on and so on until the last two people left and then continued betting until one of them brought up the cup, which one's dice was bigger, and the big one won, if the dices had the same number of points, then the person who proposed the opening of the cup would lose. When you are betting money, you can also bet money to see the amount of points, shouting to buy some, after seeing the small people forfeit.
As for the size of the dice, it was based on the number of dice. There were many different combinations, from large to small, they were divided into three identical, smooth, paired and single dots.
For example, three six points were called ”mixed river dragon”, they were called the highest color, three points were called ”full spring”, three points were called ”Yan Xing'er”, three points were called ”full plate star” and so on.
There were three dice that were linked together. For example, four, five, six, three, four, five, two, three, four, one, two, and three.
A dot pair meant that there were two dices with the same number of points, such as two six, two five, and so on. There was also a dice whose number could only be compared with the other party's, and dot to be the same was meaningful.
In the end, it was only a single point. If the dice that were thrown did not appear in any of the three categories, then only the dice that were thrown would have the biggest number of points.
At this time, without any poker cards or mahjong, rolling the dice was their pleasure. Furthermore, they could even play tricks.
”I understand. Let's begin.”
In the first few rounds, Yang Lin lost with luck and lost a few rounds consecutively, but he gradually understood the secret behind it. This kind of play was a contest of strength and courage. There was even a hint of a plan. Perhaps your idea is bigger than others, but those little people desperately bet money, so you can't guess his points, in the end also have to give up. However, in the end when the cup opened, you were the biggest number of points.
Maybe it was due to psychological effects, but the more Yang Hu was worried about losing money, the more he would lose. Not long later, Yang Hu and Yang Bao both lost a lot of money, but Yang Hu almost never won a round. A poor person's money was his hard work. Seeing Yang Hu's pained look, Yang Lin began to worry.
”Brother Yang Lin, you only lost a few thousand. Why are you so anxious?
In their eyes, Yang Lin was someone who could not afford to lose. As long as he lost the money, his face would turn red, his forehead would perspire, and his hands would tremble. If it wasn't because they weren't familiar with Yang Lin, they might have started to mock him.
Yang Lin chuckled, not paying attention to their laughter. He tossed the ten dollars onto the table and smiled at them.
”Let's begin.”
As a businessman, gambling was a common occurrence. Even if one's family was together, they could also play together when they had nothing to do. Especially the business customers. If you don't play with them well, you won't be able to do business. It was because of this that Yang Lin was forced to take Yang Lin as his teacher and train him in such a unique skill.
He held the dice cup up with both hands and started to shake it seriously. A burst of dice sounds came out from the dice cup and Yang Lin felt like he had returned to the modern world. He laughed helplessly and finally placed the dice cup on the table.
”A hundred.”
He casually threw down a hundred coins and followed in the dark. Seeing that the others were all secretly following him, he knew that the opportunity had come. After the first three rounds, he was about to open the cup to check, but he pressed the lid on the cup and then hesitated as he started to mutter.
”I've already lost seven games in a row. Is this game still small? I don't believe it, but let's go through another round. ”
As if influenced by him, no one opened a cup on the table, and even Yang Hu and Yang Bao became more daring, so they simply followed him around. It was Yang Lin's turn again. This time, he hesitated for a long time, and the brothers could not hold it in any longer, so He Man also started to urge him.
”Brother Yang Lin, can you hurry up? If you want to watch, look. If you see anything, just look.” Brother Yang Lin, can you hurry up?
If you want to act, then act a little. Yang Lin was intentionally very angry, as though she had been teased by him. He had been humiliated greatly, and even his breathing became hurried, and his face started to turn red. Yang Lin took out a hundred gold and heavily placed it on the table.
