Chapter 46: Opening Up A New Situation 2

  Today, eight people played together. Four of them were bosses from the mine mouth. Two of them vaguely said they worked in the government, but specifically what they did, whether it was in town or elsewhere, Heizi didn't know.

  Xiao Fei has taken the people away, Heizi can't leave, he must stay here to guard. Heizi has never gambled before and has never seen a big gamble. According to his experience in opening small gambles, gamblers should all be easy to serve. As long as they are allowed to play with peace of mind, other things are not the main thing.

  The Pai Gow was laid out and only then did Wu Mei's skill become apparent. With a practiced hand, she arranged the tiles and asked: "Who goes first?"

  Liu Zhenghua looked at Wu Mei and asked: "Isn't Heizi going to be the banker?"

  The fifth sister shook her head and said: "We're just playing, he won't join in. He's just helping us to pass the time. Whoever wins will give him some red envelopes with money."

  A red-faced mine owner picked up a dice and threw it out, saying: "Old rules, whoever gets the bigger number goes first."

  A few people know that in the cold winter, five or six people gather to have fun, providing a place and taking risks together. No matter who wins, they can't give less, and Fifth Sister didn't say much money, but grasped the gambler's heart, the person who won the money doesn't care about the money, so not saying much money actually gives more.

  He was the only one who didn't play, so he naturally became the errand boy, doing tasks such as fetching water for several people. If someone went out to use the restroom, he would substitute for them by covering their card.

  There are no houses near the reservoir, it's a desolate mountain and ridge, so shouting doesn't matter, seven or eight people playing very happily.

  Everyone has a box next to them, when putting in money they initially count it, but later on as the excitement builds up, they grab a handful and slap it onto the table. Only after winning do they count how much they've won, if they lose, the banker just sweeps it into their own box, no one knows exactly how much.

  Several hours passed quickly, and a mine owner nicknamed Liu Ling (Six Zero) turned around without looking back and said: "Hei Zi, do you have any cigarettes here?"

  "Yes." Hei Zi replied and ran off to fetch cigarettes.

  Hei Zi pulled out a red tower and threw it on the table. Liu Ling looked at it, smiled and said: "Hei Zi, you've never opened a game before, have you?"

  "Hei Zi asked strangely: 'How can you tell I've never started a game?'"

  In sixty years, hehe smiled and said: "People who often start the game are not as generous as you, they just grab a cigarette and throw it over."

  "Hei Zi heard this and burst out laughing: 'Sixth Brother, you're too used to being generous, it's a habit that can't be changed.'"

  Liu Ling took out a few banknotes from the stack of money in his hand and threw them to Hei Zi without even looking at them: "Not bad, brother, let's come here often in the future?"

  "Hei Zi listened and was delighted in his heart: 'Of course, brother likes to make friends, it's very secluded here, my brothers have nothing to do with everyone.'"

  Several others who heard Heizi's words were also delighted. Liu Zhenghua said: "Brother Heizi, can I bring a few friends next time?"

  "Of course, it's okay." Kuroko said politely.

  Heizi watched a few people play while chatting with them. After midnight, Heizi prepared some food and wine for the group. This was the first time they had seen Heizi set up such a generous spread, complete with a meal. At other people's gatherings, if you were hungry, you might get some instant noodles at most.

  The first big game was very successful. After others left, Hei Zi counted the two bundles of money that Zhao Zhenghua threw to him, totaling 12,000 yuan. Adding the cigarette money given by Liu Zero in the evening and the meal money given by several people to Hei Zi, this time he earned more than 13,000 yuan.

  After the people who played left, the sky was already bright. I wish Xiao Fei and others had frozen for a night. As soon as they returned home, several people surrounded the stove. Heizi and Wu Mei hurried out to prepare wine and meat for everyone.

  Hei Zi bought a refrigerator and filled it with cooked food. Soon, all sorts of dishes were spread out on the table.

  A few people drank a cup of wine and warmed up, Zhuo Xiao Fei asked Wu Mei: "Sister, how much did you win tonight?"

  When Zhuo Xiaofei opened his mouth, several people looked at him. They did not expect that Zhuo Xiaofei would actually call Wu Mei "Big Sister".

  The fifth sister was delighted when she heard that, it seems that Xiao Fei had already accepted this little brother, and he was used to calling himself "big sister".

  "Hehe, not much, just over 800,000." said Wu Mei with a smile.

  Several people looked at Hei Zi, they were very curious about how much money he had made tonight.

  Hei Zi pulled out the money and threw a dozen or so bills on the table, saying: "Split this little bit of money among the three of you." After that, he threw the rest to Zhu Xiao Fei.

  Two of them had mixed with others, they had never seen the boss so generous, in the past, they would consider it generous to get a 100 yuan note for watching someone's back. In these few months, they had made a lot of money from Hei Zi, now they didn't have to worry about spending money on food, drinks or entertainment, and their confidence in following Hei Zi was even more determined.

  The fifth sister looked at Hei Zi with dissatisfaction and said: "Hei Zi, why don't you give me some?"

  Hei Zi chuckled and pointed at Zhu Xiao Fei, saying: "Give it all to him."

  Wishing Xiao Fei remembered their agreement, he hastily took out the money to give to Wu Mei. Wu Mei chuckled and said: "I'm just kidding you, I don't lack these few thousand yuan now either. You hold onto it first, we'll talk about it when I need money in the future."

  The opening was smooth sailing, but the big game isn't something that can be opened every day. Organizing one takes time, and it usually takes about 20 days to come once. After finishing this round, Heizi went with Zhu Xiaofei to buy a car.

  Hei Zi did not expect that the Zhongba they liked would cost 180,000 yuan per vehicle, and the tens of thousands of dollars in their hands could only buy one.

  Years ago, Heizi and others started another game. This time, in addition to the few people who came last time, two more joined in. By dawn, Wu Mei had lost.

  Everyone who gambled has left. Hei Zi wants to give money to Wu Mei, but is rejected by her. Hei Zi and Zhu Xiao Fei advise Wu Mei not to gamble again in the future. Wu Mei smiles and says: "This time I only lost 10,000 yuan, everything was within my plan."

  "What plan? What plan?" asked Zhuo Xiaofei with a silly expression.

  The fifth sister pushed Xiao Fei's head with her hand and said: "You're so stupid, I told you but you don't know."

  Hei Zi saw them acting intimately and preparing to leave. Xiao Fei pulled him back and asked: "Lao Wu, what are you planning?"

  Hei Zi took a glance and chuckled, "Fishing requires some bait, she's just scattering some rice, you little rascal, be careful, Five Mei is getting hooked."

  The fifth sister heard Heizi's words and turned her head to glare at him, saying: "What did you say?"

  "Heizi retreated a few steps and chuckled: 'Nothing was said, nothing at all.'"

  Through these two gambling games, Hei Zi discovered that Wu Mei was not doing it for the money, she was helping herself and Zhu Xiao Fei. Apart from the explanation that Wu Mei liked Zhu Xiao Fei, there's no other way to explain it. I don't have much contact with Wu Mei, nor do I have any special feelings towards her, so the person Wu Mei likes should not be me.

  Ma Hui and Zhang Ba started driving the car, but Lao Zhao, who used to drive for them, had not yet found a new job. Hei Zi and Zhu Xiao Fei took gifts to Lao Zhao's home to invite him to work for them again.

  Lao Zhao hesitated for a long time before agreeing. Heizi told Lao Zhao to rest assured, this time the car would not be followed, and every day after collecting the car, he would send someone to settle accounts once, and the car would be completely handed over to Lao Zhao and the ticket seller to run, and there would be no more fights.
