The first floor is not only a casino, it is also a brothel and a restaurant. It is said that there are nearly a hundred corpses under the water in this building. They were all crazy gamblers and old people who refused to repay their gambling debts.
The first floor is built on the water. It is not an isolated building, but several pavilions and pavilions connected with each other, with carved beams and painted buildings. It is brightly lit at night and has an excellent view. The interior of the building is unique, magnificent and dazzling.
Here, you can find all the gambling methods you have seen, such as dice, Pai Gow, flower cards, as well as the more interesting cockfighting, bird fighting, and cricket fighting. Of course, there are also more brutal ways to play, such as slave fighting and life-and-death fights. Till death.
The singing and dancing here are also outstanding. Many people come from thousands of miles away not to gamble, but just to admire the graceful figures of the dancers. This place is both elegant and popular. No matter where you come from or what your identity is, there is something worthy of your nostalgia.
For Su Xiaolou, if there is any place where he can get a lot of money in a short period of time, it must be here.
He turned a blind eye to the beautiful scenery and beauties in front of him and went straight to the gambling area. As soon as he entered, he heard noisy shouting.
He pawned the most valuable thing on his body, which was a slightly damaged but well-made wedding dress. The embroiderer took three months to make the dress, but he only pawned it for twenty taels.
He chose the simplest way of rolling the dice, and after observing it for a full stick of incense, he could see some clues. He was now 70% sure, which was enough.
When many people come in, they will be dazzled by the wealth and charming beauties in front of them, and their minds will be disturbed. They will think about the dream of getting rich overnight and will not pay attention to the strange things hidden in the dark.
The purpose of opening a business is not to make money, but how to ensure profitability? This requires childcare.
The most excited person at the main table is most likely a shill. In order to win the trust of gamblers, he will usually win two games first and let them bet with him. After controlling the situation, he will let these gamblers lose more and win less. Gradually, gambling became more and more urgent and took precedence over everything else.
Afterwards, the interests of the sitter and the boss are shared, which is mutually beneficial.
Su Xiaolou finally decided to play the simplest dice in the casino and compare the big and small.
Su Xiaolou has already found the sitter of this table. He is a short, fat, middle-aged man with a mountain of winnings piled in front of him. He is shouting at the top of his neck. The gamblers around him call him Brother Wu.
As soon as Su Xiaolou walked over, a man with a big mouth on the opposite side recognized him, pointed at his nose and said with a smile: "Isn't this the son-in-law of the Shen family, the richest man in Jiangnan? They all come to the first floor to gamble. It seems I made a lot of money from the Shen family, I’m so lucky! I’ll have endless money to eat in this life.”
When people around him heard this, they all looked over and started talking about it.
"I heard that the only daughter of the Shen family is already twenty-eight and has not yet been married. She is also staying behind closed doors. There must be something wrong with her."
"What do you know? A female junior is holding a gold brick."
"This one doesn't look as good as the weak crown. It looks like he has to hold several gold bricks. I don't know if he can hold it."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Su Xiaolou's anger rushed to his forehead and he said sarcastically: "I'll give you this blessing, do you want it?"
"you……"
"Quiet!" The banker shouted: "Listen to the music, drink and talk on the third floor. Don't go to the wrong place." This is the first floor, and behind it is a powerful man. Everyone is afraid of it, so just Keep playing.
The dealer waved his arm, the dice collided in the dice, and then slammed onto the table, and the gamblers placed their bets one after another.
"I press small, this one must be small! Small! Small!"
"I'll be younger too!"
"I'll be younger too!"
"Brother Dingwu and I are here tonight, and I'm going to be younger too." A lean man stepped forward with half of his gambling money.
There were still many people who followed the guide and placed bets. Su Xiaolou threw the five taels of silver in his hand into the small side without caring.
"Buy and leave."
The punters shouted: "Little!" "Little!" "Little!"
The dealer shouted: "Open!"
When I opened it, it turned out to be small.
Brother Big Mouth saw his chips being taken away. He looked very unhappy at Su Xiaolou and said, "Unlucky, my luck gets worse when some people come here."
In the second round, Su Xiaolou still followed the shill in betting, and as expected, he won again.
In the third game, the gambler who won the top will naturally pursue the victory.
Su Xiaolou had been paying attention to the fat man's every move. The fat man winked at the dealer. The fat man pushed all Xiao Shangao's money and shouted loudly: "I'm all in, buy big, this time it will definitely be big!"
In the first two rounds, many gamblers won a lot of money with Brother Wu and believed in him. In the third round, many gamblers put up all their chips and stopped playing if they wanted to make a big profit.
The stakes in this gambling game were several times higher than those in the previous two games. Everyone paid more attention, with greedy desires in their eyes, and their shouts became more intense.
Su Xiaolou silently put all his chips on the other side where no one was pressing, and said: "I'm betting small."
Everyone thought that Su Xiaolou had lost his mind and joked: "The son-in-law of the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River is confident. After gambling, he goes back and asks his father-in-law for help. How can we compare!"
The dealer looked at the chips on both sides and knew which side was more advantageous.
"Buy it and leave!" the dealer shouted.
The punters shouted at the top of their lungs.
"Big!" "Big!" "Big!" "Big!"
"open!"
It's a small point that can't be smaller.
Everyone was heartbroken. They had just won some money and were back before liberation. Many gamblers left dejectedly.
"How can it be small? This is my hard-earned money!"
"My wife Ben! I haven't married yet!"
The dealer looked like an honest man who dealt cards. He looked through the crowd at Su Xiaolou and said with a smile: "This young man is very lucky tonight!"
Su Xiaolou felt the looks from the opposite side looking for trouble. He turned a blind eye and calmly put away his chips and prepared to change them for money. If this situation didn't go away, the banker was afraid that he would join forces with the sitter to deal with him.
Seeing Su Xiaolou win three games in a row, Big Mouth Brother stood in front of Su Xiaolou and said with ill intentions: "You want to leave after winning money! Such a small amount of money is not enough for me to have a meal, so let's challenge him!" No date?"
"A date with you? Are you the oiran girl upstairs?"
"You..." Big Mouth Brother knew that if he started on the first floor, the consequences would be miserable, so he could only watch Su Xiaolou walk away gracefully.
Su Xiaolou exchanged most of the money he won into gold leaves, leaving a small amount of loose silver, and went home whistling.
On the way back, Su Xiaolou bought two ounces of good quality beef, a pound of chicken feet, a pound of duck neck and a bottle of Tusu wine whose aroma could be smelled from afar.
Su Xiaolou threw the remaining money to the housekeeper and said: "Although this money is not enough, you should keep it first. If it is not enough, I will think of a way."
The money that came in was almost a thousand taels. His hands were shaking a little while holding the money.
Su Xiaolou looked at Qian's stooped figure and was a little touched. The tree fell and the hozens scattered. Only the old and the young were left in the once prosperous Su residence. Su Xiaolou couldn't bear that a loyal person should suffer from hard work in his later years. , and said: "Tomorrow, hire some servants, buy some daily necessities, and hire craftsmen to repair the house. You don't need this little money."
"Young master has finally grown up!" There seemed to be tears in Lai Qian's eyes. He was worthy of the master and his wife's life-saving grace.
Su Xiaolou was lying on the bed. He had experienced too many things today and he was indeed tired.
While he was half asleep and half awake, he had a strange thought. Could it be that when he opened his eyes tomorrow, he would be back in modern times, take off the quilt and dress randomly and go to class again? Everything he experienced today was just a dream.
Who knows? Maybe what he experienced in the past few decades was just a dream...
what time is it?
When he opened his eyes, it was already dawn, and he was still in ancient times.
They come, the security……
