Chapter 178
"Brother, this is what you call the way to make money quickly?" Lu Yan looked at the shop in front of him and his eyes twitched.
The thing about playing the game has existed very early and long ago. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were actually many styles of playing the game. The most common ones are basically fighting cocks or fighting dogs. For indoor games, they mainly include Liubo, Chupu and throwing pot.
Of course there are dice, but it is not six-sided dice. Liu Tao vaguely remembers that it was invented by Cao Zhi.
If there is a fight, there will naturally be places that rely on a fight to make money. The problem is not called a gambling house at this time. However, making money by fighting to make money is actually already of a gambling house.
The place where Liu Tao brought the other three people to this moment was the gambling house in Luoyang, and it was a relatively low-end boo opera house in an ordinary residential area.
"Aren't you happy?" Liu Tao pointed to the Biao Opera House, "In less than half an hour, the principal will probably double."
"Brother, you should be very clear that this thing is risky," Lu Yan reminded.
"Risk, of course there are risks!" Liu Tao nodded, "So I'll choose here first. After all, even if there are risks, I can avoid too much loss. If it proves that there is no problem, then I'll go to Zhuque Street."
Zhuque Street is the largest commercial street in Luoyang, and naturally it is also the most prosperous and rich street. The Bohemian Square that can be opened here is definitely the largest scale and the largest background.
Of course, if you play here, the chips are too small, and others probably won't let you play.
"If you have too much, don't say it..." Liu Tao took out his sleeves and took out a piece of golden cake. "Just one piece. If you lose, we will leave. If you win... um... if you win five pieces, we will leave."
"If it's just one piece..." Lu Yan seemed to have no reason to object. The key is that it's good to just play with it. After all, this is also a place to relax a little.
At this time, the store’s methods were still very primitive, with almost no means to spend thousands of dollars. Many of them even provided a place and utensils, and they only collected some commissions and venue fees from customers.
When Liu Tao goes in, the first thing he has to choose is an opponent, the opponent who is willing to play with him. Then choose the type of fight, and finally decide on his own chips. After the fight, he pays the equipment and venue fee, and then changes to others and continues.
More primitive, but basically, fairer.
As soon as I entered the store, most of the customers here came over. This type of opera shop is basically regular customers, so when I saw it, I knew that the four new people were new faces.
Those who are fighting will naturally continue, and those who are still idle will naturally come forward to talk.
"First time?" One of the middle-aged men came over, "What are you good at playing?"
"Canshan, what are you good at?" Liu Tao looked at Lu Yan, "I remember you played with Lu Pu before."
"That's just a little bit of fun... I'm not very good at it." Lu Yan whispered.
Why did I know Zu Pu? Because his father taught him this? Why did Lu Zhi do it? Because Lu Zhi once asked Ma Rong for knowledge, the latter taught Lu Zhi this.
Ma Rong was a great scholar and a master of Confucianism. However, he was also good at Chpu and had a song called "Chpu Fu".
"Tu Pu is also very good. I just like it. Let's have a game?" The other party immediately became excited when he heard this and went forward and said.
"Just play casually..." Liu Tao whispered, "Don't have any burden if you have always been in war. It's better to relax for a while."
It feels like, at least the fights of this era are healthier than going to brothels or something.
Lu Yan nodded when he heard this, but did not ask Liu Tao to give it money. After all, he also had some change on him, so he started with the middle-aged man. Of course, the equipment was rented from the store.
"Can you throw a pot or a cockfighting or something?" Liu Tao found the shop owner and asked.
"The cockfighting requires the customers to prepare it themselves. Our store does not provide it. There are some throwing pots, but they are not very good at playing, mainly Liubo and Lupu." The owner shook his head. If he really has this capital, he would not open a store in a civilian area.
After thinking about it, he suggested: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to go to Pu, and you don't need to really get out of the game. You just need to invest in Wumu. It's okay to see how many people in the store play this!"
The five woods of lepu are actually "dices", made of five pieces of lepu, which is also the source of lepu. One side is painted black and the other side has words. When thrown out, the "picking number" is determined based on the front and back of the "dice" and the text.
Liu Tao probably knows a little about the rules.
"Okay, who will play with Lepu? If you don't play with the overall situation, just use numbers to judge!" Liu Tao shouted.
"I'll do it, how old are you?" Just as I finished speaking, a young man stepped forward.
"How old can you play?" Liu Tao asked back, thinking about going to the next piece of golden cake, but was worried that the other party could not afford it.
"At most one hundred texts." The latter hesitated for a moment, and then opened a number.
"Okay, only one hundred coins." Liu Tao nodded, then took out one hundred coins, and deducted the golden cake from his sleeve and three hundred coins of change, mainly to deal with this situation.
The young man was not sure, so he picked up five woods and threw them. The five woods fell to the ground. The black and white pheasants were a piece of black and white pheasants. The black was a piece of pheasant with the back, and the other two pieces faced upwards. The words on it were "white" and "pheasants".
This is the ‘Ta Cai’, which can be done for 5 steps, which means it is not up or down.
"Oh, I'm not lucky!" The young man shook his head. It was a big frustration.
"Maybe I'm even more lucky than you?" Liu Tao smiled and picked it up and threw it. The white pheasant is a 'white color', which can be improved by 8 steps. Judging from the number of colors, it is naturally higher than the 'ta color'.
"Oh... you won..." The young man shook his head and pushed the chips to Liu Tao. Don't forget, you have to pay the gambling tools and venue fees, not much, just five cents. This is the case with the more chips the more profits it makes.
By this calculation, Liu Tao earned ninety cents, but all this took less than a minute.
"Who else will come?" Liu Tao asked immediately. Of course, more people came here. After all, this thing is simple and it makes money quickly.
Basically, what I come back at this time is to rely on playing to make money, rather than enjoying the game.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm very lucky today..." After about half an hour, Liu Tao apologized to everyone, "I'm afraid I'll use all my luck in this life, so that's all today."
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Lu Yan lost at least three hundred people in the past half hour, one or two of them were dejected.
On the contrary, Liu Tao earned ten coins, a full amount of money from a golden cake. At the same time, he realized that there was no way to continue and others were already a little suspicious.
