Chapter 596: Gambling

596

Everyone has the beginning of love, and everyone has experienced the age of ignorance.

Xu Taiping didn't know how to face Zhou Zhiyun, because he was the only one in this town who knew about Zhou Zhiyun's past, and he was the only one who knew how Zhou Zhiyun came to town.

Therefore, when Zhou Zhiyun came to Xu Taiping to compensate for nothing, Xu Taiping felt a little uncomfortable, because it made Xu Taiping feel as if he owed Zhou Zhiyun something.

Xu Taiping sighed and called Zhou Xiaoyu.

Not long after, Zhou Xiaoyu and the hundreds of people under his command all withdrew from the scenic area and arrived outside the Fairy Mountain Resort Villa.

Several cars were lined up in the parking lot outside the villa, and a large group of gangsters who had just experienced the beautiful natural scenery from the scenic spot stood beside the cars.

After experiencing the influence of nature, Xu Taiping felt that these people had become much more beautiful.

"In the next few days, you will all live in this resort. Several families from our town are already living in this resort. You can drink, gamble, and have fun, but you can't disturb others, you know? ?" Xu Taiping shouted to everyone.

"Got it!" everyone shouted in unison.

The residents of the town who stood looking down from the windows of their rooms all trembled when they saw this scene. They felt a little weak when they thought about living here with these people.

Will these vicious-looking people be easy to get along with?

"You guys will rest here for the next few days. When the parts for assembling the house are in place in a few days, you will be needed. As for me, I rarely ask you to help me with things. These houses belong to people in our town. So I need you to help me with this matter, do you understand?" Xu Taiping asked again.

"Got it!" Everyone shouted in unison again.

"Xiaoyu, have someone take them in and allocate rooms. The cadres will have their own room. If Ma Zai is in charge, he will live in a standard room." Xu Taiping said to Zhou Xiaoyu.

"Okay, Brother Xu!" Zhou Xiaoyu nodded, and then walked into the Fairy Mountain Resort with several hundred people.

Xu Taiping turned around and glanced at the villa. He really didn't expect that the villa that he had smashed could have such a big effect at this time. If it weren't for this villa, then the hundreds of houses he owned would be useless. It's really hard for people to settle down in the town.

After settling these people, Xu Taiping left first and went to Atu's restaurant.

Along the way, Xu Taiping heard a lot of dice rolling sounds.

In many shops on the roadside, groups of people gathered together.

This is a major feature of Chiyan Town when the Chinese New Year is approaching. Usually on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, everyone will start to set up a table on the street, and then put a bowl in the middle of the table and put some Three dice, then one person sits on the banker, others press the money, and then each other rolls the dice to determine the winner or loser.

In China, there are several things that are indispensable during the Chinese New Year. One is various Spring Festival couplets, one is fireworks, and the other is gambling.

Every Chinese New Year, people who have been working hard in other places for a year return to their hometowns, and then friends get together. You can't drink every day, so what can you do? Just gambling.

There are many ways to gamble, such as cards, mahjong, cricket and cock fights, etc. For Chinese people, everything can be gambled, just like when Song Jialing and the others went to the hot springs and asked Xu Taiping to choose someone to massage. bet.

Gambling is deep in the bones of every Chinese person. Some people gamble big, and some gamble small.

The most popular thing here in Red Flame Town is dice. People between ninety and nine years old can play a few games as long as they can move their hands. The rules are actually very simple. One person is the banker, and others place bets. Make good bets. After that, the dealer starts rolling the dice. Three dice are thrown into a bowl. The two dice have the same number and are regarded as zero. What is the other dice is, that is the number. If no two dice are the same, it is always counted. Toss, until the number of points is reached, the dealer will kill with six points, kill with four, five, six, and kill with leopard. However, if he gets one point and one, two, and three straights, he will also be compensated. In addition, other The only thing is to compare the points. If you have five points and the banker has four points, you will win. The banker will pay as much as you bet. If it is also five points, you win. If it is also two points, the banker wins. The other points are the same. , just flat.

This custom in Chiyan Town has been going on for hundreds of years. Every household will play this game during the Chinese New Year. Some play it big, some play it small, like those who set up tables on the roadside. You can play as long as you want. Go up and make a move, make money if you win, and lose money if you lose.

Xu Taiping is probably the only person in the entire Chiyan Town who has never played this game because he has no money.

He will lose his parents when he is young. The New Year holidays are of little significance to Xu Taiping. Every year during the New Year, the government will send him some daily necessities and food, as well as some money, but Xu Taiping has to keep all the money for school. At that time, Xu Taiping didn't dare to gamble with this little money. It was easy to win, but if he lost, he would have to drink the northwest wind.

Now that Xu Taiping returned to the town again, and heard the familiar sound of dice again, Xu Taiping suddenly felt eager to try.

Of course, this is just a feeling. It would be unrealistic for Xu Taiping to go to the roadside and gamble with these people.

Xu Taiping came to A Tu's restaurant, where A Tu was cooking.

"Go in and sit down, you can eat right away!" A Tu said to Xu Taiping.

"Okay!" Xu Taiping nodded. He didn't have anything else to do when he came to A Tu's house, he just came to have lunch.

Not long after they sat down, Xia Jinxuan and others also arrived at A Tu's house.

Several people were holding bags in their hands, and the bags contained living animals, which they would move and write down from time to time.

"What did you buy?" Xu Taiping asked.

"There are chickens, ducks, and rabbits!" Xia Jinxuan said with a smile.

"Why did you buy these things?" Atu asked curiously.

"Buy it back and raise it, so that you can have an idyllic scenery!" Xia Jinxuan said.

"Rural scenery? Haha, you city people are really weird. The shit of these chickens and ducks stinks so much. Your place is so clean. It's such a waste to raise these things!" Atu said with a smile.

"We can keep them in captivity!" Emma said.

"It tastes good even when enclosed. Why not leave it to me? I guarantee that you will be able to eat delicious chicken, duck, and rabbit meat in an hour!" Atu said.

"The little bunny is so cute, why would you want to eat the little bunny!" Emma shook her head as she held the bag in her hand tightly.

"Outside, animals are for eating and people are for raising. You people in the city are the opposite of us. Animals are for raising and people are for slaughtering." Atu said with a smile.

"Uncle Tu's words are philosophical!" Xu Taiping said with a thumbs up.

At this time, Xiao Mo came down from upstairs. After seeing Xu Taiping, Xiao Mo smiled and said, "Brother Taiping, you are here."

"Did you just wake up?" Xu Taiping asked.

"No, I did some homework upstairs for a while!" Xiao Mo shook his head.

"Where are your friends?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Them? I don't know, I haven't contacted them." Xiao Mo shook his head. From last night to now, he has not tried to contact Shu Ting and the others. He only knows that he sent everyone to his house to pick up their luggage. .

For Shu Ting and the others, last night was a difficult night because they stayed at the police station.

It's not that they don't want to stay in the B&B here, but for some reason, the rooms in the B&B here are all full, including the resort in the scenic area, which is also full of people.

In the end, they had no choice but to spend one night in the police station.

The night in Chiyan Town is very cold. There was rime early this morning, which shows how cold it is at night.

Several people wore several extra clothes, but they still felt chilly. Finally, the police station couldn't stand it anymore and found some quilts for them from somewhere. They managed to survive the night. Early in the morning, they left Chiyan Town in the police station car. They probably would never come back again in this life. Naturally, they would never know that the reason why there were no rooms in B&Bs in the town last night was not because of tourists. More, but because someone said hello to the people in the town.

Just like Su Jinlong told the people in the town not to do Xu Taiping's business before, the person who said hello this time also asked the people in the town not to do their business. And the last time Xu Taiping met Ah Tu, This time Shu Ting and the others were not as lucky as Xu Taiping.

As for who said hello, there is no need to say more.

In order to thank Xu Taiping, A Tu cooked a large table of dishes at noon, all of which were the best things that could be produced in the countryside, including big fish and meat.

For city people, this kind of big fish and meat is naturally considered a very rough food, but in the countryside, it is the highest etiquette to treat you with big fish and meat. You let Chiyan Town, a small town not close to the sea, give it to you. It's not practical for you to get some lobster grouper or something.

Ah Tu also specially took out the old wine that had been buried in the ground for who knows how many years. According to him, he planned to wait for his son to marry his wife before taking out this wine to invite his in-laws to drink. This time, he opened it in advance for Xu Taiping. Naturally, it was also because I was grateful to Xu Taiping.

The more truly upper-class people are, the less they care about material things. For example, Xia Jinxuan and the others eat the food on the table very happily. Even if they know that they are not suitable to eat too much of some things, they do not show it, unlike before. Compared with Xiao Mo's classmates, they are superior to each other.

According to Xu Taiping, these days, only those who are better than those who are below will care about things. The higher the level, the more cultivated they are, and the less likely they are to care about things.

The guests and hosts enjoyed the meal thoroughly. Xu Taiping had a rare drink at noon, which was naturally because he felt comfortable.

After eating, Ah Tu called Xu Taiping into a room, then took out a bankbook from his body and handed it to Xu Taiping.

"This is our family's deposit. You take it first. If you want the rest, tell your uncle and he will pay you back in installments." Atu said.

Holding Atu's bankbook, Xu Taiping was a little confused.
