62. The new steward of the casino(1/2)

Jiang Zhen glanced at the Young Master Zheng and took Brother Zhao Jin to sit down at a window not far from him.

This is the first time Brother Zhao Jin has come to such a place. He is very uneasy and curious about everything. His eyes keep looking at the window.

"It's still early, you can go to the window first." Jiang Zhen said.

"Wouldn't it be bad?" Zhao Jin asked with some concern. In addition to them, there were many people here. Will he be a little embarrassed by the face of standing at the window and staring at the window?

"It's okay." Jiang Zhen smiled. Brother Zhao Jin had never seen all this before. He wanted to see it. There was nothing to be ashamed of him.

After Jiang Zhen said this, Brother Zhao Jin went to the window and opened his eyes wide and looked out the window.

This restaurant only has two floors, so I can't see anything at this window, but for Brother Zhao Jin, it is already extremely novel, and he is enjoying it.

"Jiang Zhen, we are now above others' heads." Brother Zhao Jin said.

"Puchi!" It was a bit funny that it was Brother Zhao Jin's behavior, and the Young Master Zheng laughed out loud.

Jiang Zhen frowned slightly, while Zhao Jin Ge sat down with awkward look on his face.

"Brother Jin, let's play cards." Jiang Zhen saw Brother Zhao's uneasy look and said to Brother Zhao.

Brother Zhao was confused, but Jiang Zhen took out the cards, took away two tiger cards, and then straightened out the remaining fifty-two cards. Then he gave himself and Brother Zhao five cards, put the rest next to the table, and opened one.

"This is the simplest way to play. If you have cards in your hand and cards on the table, a total of fourteen, you can use one card in your hand to fish the cards on the table, one, two or three cards, and then take one out of the pile of rows to make up for the five cards on your hand, and turn it on the table. If it cannot be counted until fourteen o'clock, just open one from the pile of cards and put it on it, and then I will do it." Jiang Zhen briefly talked about the rules. This gameplay was taught by others when he was a child. At that time, they called him "fishing", but in some places it seems that this is not what it is.

Brother Zhao Jin still knows simple arithmetic, but he is slow to calculate. Jiang Zhen doesn't teach him, so he will be a bit stumbling when playing, but Jiang Zhen is the opposite.

"The seven and three on the table add up to ten o'clock. I have a four o'clock here, so I can take two cards." Jiang Zhen used one four o'clock to take away two cards on the table.

The remaining cards were all very large. Brother Zhao Jin had no cards for fishing in his hand, so he could only turn one on the table. As a result, the card was caught by Jiang Zhen again...

In the first game, Brother Zhao Jin caught a very good card, but when he started again, he also found a trick.

There are not many cards in the end, and it is not difficult to calculate fourteen points. As he calculates, he is getting faster and faster.

After finishing three games, Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jin Ge suggested a different gameplay - this gameplay is suitable for children and is not very attractive to adults.

"We only have two people, so we can only play a simple game... Try blackjack." Jiang Zhen said. Blackjack is also called Blackjack, which is a very ancient gameplay. After Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jin Ge explained the gameplay, they started playing.

Before, the eldest young master Zheng was just watching them. At this time, he couldn't help but stand next to him and looked. Later, he came behind Brother Zhao Jin, and then said to the particularly conservative Brother Zhao Jin with a grudge: "You want a card! Your card is so small, why don't you?"

Brother Zhao Jin shook his head: "I don't want it." What should I do if I get a big card?

Seeing Brother Zhao Jin like this, Young Master Zheng was so angry that he wished he would end up...

"Mr. Zheng, do you want to come and have fun too?" Jiang Zhen asked.

"Okay!" Master Zheng sat down next to Jiang Zhen, not asking why Jiang Zhen knew him.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhen said again: "I will play two cards first. After you have seen it, you can bet... I have no money, and you can't bet more than five copper plates each time."

The corner of Mr. Zheng's mouth twitched: "I don't bring a copper plate when I go out." The copper plate is very heavy. He never brings it when he goes out. Of course, the servant next to him will take it, but now the servant is not here.

Master Zheng thought about it and called the waiter directly to ask him to bring a hundred copper coins.

Then, Master Zheng began to suppress it boldly.

He was extremely adventurous. The first two cards had fifteen points in total, and he would ask for another card. However, if he was not careful, he would exceed 21 o'clock. In contrast, Jiang Zhen was much more conservative, so soon after, all the 100 copper plates in front of him came to Jiang Zhen.

Of course, he won even more than he won.

"Come again!" said Young Master Zheng, and asked the waiter to get the copper plate again.

"Wait." Jiang Zhen stopped Young Master Zheng at this time.

"What's wrong?" asked Master Zheng, "Don't worry, I can afford to lose."

"No, it's the person I made an appointment here." Jiang Zhen said, he had already heard Yang Jiang's voice.

Sure enough, within a while, Yang Jiang and a very fat middle-aged man walked up the stairs.

Yang Jiang was very respectful to the middle-aged man: "Manager Zhang, please come upstairs, my brother is upstairs."

Manager Zhang was indifferent to Yang Jiang and held an airs, but after he went upstairs, he couldn't hold it up all of a sudden: "Big Young Master?"

Yang Jiang also looked at the eldest son Zheng in surprise: "Master Zheng?" This... Jiang Zhen actually sat with the eldest son Zheng?

The family he told Jiang Zhen that he could not mess with was the Zheng family.

Today, Mr. Zheng has a brother who is a second-rank senior official in the court, and Mr. Zheng is the only son of Mr. Zheng.

Mr. Zheng was not able to study, but he was very capable in business. Even Mr. Zheng was in charge of the casino. Jiang Zhen could make an appointment with Mr. Zheng. He asked a manager to come over, which was a waste of time.

Jiang Zhen also knew the identity of Zheng Dashen. After all, he asked Yang Jiang in detail yesterday, but he didn't know that he wanted to buy his own porcelain, and it was also the Zheng family.

Yesterday, when the shopkeeper of the porcelain shop talked to him about buying porcelain, he didn't say in detail and did not mention the Zheng family. Later, the man left in a hurry, and he only found out today.

At that time, even if he knew, it was useless. After all, even if he was a porcelain seller, he would not be able to get along with the Zheng family.

However, he was lucky. After coming to the restaurant in advance, he actually saw Master Zheng... Jiang Zhen originally wanted to hand over the cards to the manager, but now... the benefits he got for Master Zheng must be more than the benefits he got for the manager.

"You're the one you're making an appointment? Then don't worry, you can continue playing with me." Young Master Zheng said, and then said: "What else can you play with this card?"

"There are dozens of ways to play cards." Jiang Zhen said: "Mr. Zheng Dada wants to see something suitable for casinos or is it suitable for family members to pass the time?"

"Look at both!" Mr. Zheng said without hesitation.

For a moment, Jiang Zhen could not have taken out all the gameplay. In fact, he remembered very little by little. In the end, he only took out two gameplays, one was "Bullfighting", also called "Niu Niu", and the other was Landlord.

There were only three ways to play, and the group played for an afternoon, but they were still not tired of it at all.

"Mr. Zheng, it's getting late." Jiang Zhen reminded him that he still had to go home for dinner.

"That's right..." Young Master Zheng said, reluctantly put down the cards in his hand, and then asked Jiang Zhen: "Is this what you thought of? How much do you want?"

Zheng Dashao's real name is Zheng Yi. He is a very playful person and is very proficient in fun. After playing for a while, he had already discovered the value of this card. After thinking about it, he felt that Jiang Zhen should have deliberately attracted his attention.

Of course, if he hadn't met him, Jiang Zhen would probably have looked for his manager.

After taking a look at the same steward who was still unsatisfied with him, Zheng Yi felt that Jiang Zhen had come to them for money.

"Mr. Zheng, someone taught me this thing, but I can be sure that there are only a few of us in Daqi who can play it now. But... I'm not for money." Jiang Zhen said.

"Don't you want money? Then what do you want? Tell me." Young Master Zheng said. He had never seen this card before. If he offered it... the empresses in the palace might like it very much.

Even if he doesn't offer it... this will be beneficial to his casino.

"Actually, I made an appointment with Manager Zhang today because I offended the people in the gambling house, and I wanted to use this card to apologize." Jiang Zhen said.

"You have offended the people in the gambling house?" Zheng Dashao looked at Manager Zhang.

Manager Zhang was also a little stunned. Jiang Zhen offended them? He didn't know! He had never seen Jiang Zhen before.

"I beat Liu Heitou from your gambling house. He has many people under him. I'm afraid he will be unfavorable to my family." Jiang Zhen said.

"Who is Liu Heitou?" Zheng Dashao asked again, is there this person in their gambling store?

"Young Master, it's Xiao Hei." Manager Zhang said.

"It's Xiao Hei... can you beat him?" Zheng Dashao looked at Jiang Zhen in surprise. Liu Heitou was one of the most capable people under him.

"Young Master Zheng, you don't know that our boss is very powerful and can fight ten. Yesterday, our boss got married, Liu Heitou went to make trouble and brought a lot of people, but he was beaten... I thought that Liu Heitou would not give up, so I helped us get to Manager Zhang and wanted to talk to him." Yang Jiang smiled, praising Jiang Zhen.

At this moment, Yang Jiang had already made up his mind to hang out with Jiang Zhen, and he became more and more sure that Jiang Zhen was a capable person.

Just talking about this card, I don’t know what he thought of. After playing this, he felt that playing dice with people before was too boring.

Zheng Yi had always thought that Jiang Zhen must have thought about it for a long time and figured out something fun, and then found their Zheng family, wanting to rely on things or seek wealth or a birth, but he didn't expect...

This man actually beat one of his thugs and came to apologize.

"It's just a fight with Xiao Hei, it's nothing. What else do you want?" Zheng Yi asked again.

"Mr. Zheng, I don't have anything I want especially... Why don't Master Zheng give me a name in the gambling house? You don't have to pay for my salary, as long as I can take care of that Liu Heitou." Jiang Zhen said with a smile.

Zheng Yi laughed out loud when he heard this: "You are quite interesting, no problem. From now on, you will be one of the managers in the gambling house. Like Manager Zhang, you are not a name. Your monthly routine is the same as Manager Zhang every month. If you don't want to be in charge of the affairs of the gambling house, you can ignore it. If you are willing, I will leave this card-related matter to you."

The gambling house is just one of Zheng Yi's industries. For him, it was really nothing to let Jiang Zhen be a manager, so he was decided at the moment.

Such conditions were far beyond Jiang Zhen’s initial plan, so Jiang Zhen naturally would not disagree. He smiled and thanked him, and then, like Manager Zhang, became one of the managers of the gambling house.

At this time, Liu Heitou was talking about Jiang Zhen in the gambling house.

Liu Heitou has been working in the gambling house for more than ten years and has known many people. When those people heard that Liu Heitou was beaten, they comforted Liu Heitou and said they would help him stand up.

Liu Heitou thanked him.

"Tao Liu, who is the one who dares to hit you? What's the matter?" asked one of Liu Heitou's subordinates.

"That person is Jiang Zhen. I don't know what the specific origin is." Liu Heitou said.

He suspected that Jiang Zhen had a background, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that Jiang Zhen should have no background.

What background can he, a mud-legged man born and raised in Hexi Village?

"Tao Liu, don't worry, we will stand by your side and will definitely not let him go!" Someone said to Liu Heitou.

"Yes, we will definitely not let him go!" the rest of the people also said.

Just then, someone ran in outside: "Manager Zhang is back."

When he heard that Manager Zhang had returned, Liu Heitou quickly stood up and planned to greet him. At the same time, he also wanted Manager Zhang to help him inquire about Jiang Zhen.
