Chapter 158 A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger!
"Feng Biao..." Boss Kuang tapped his fingers on the table, the sound was neither too loud nor too soft, slow and even, "I've heard of this guy, but I haven't had much contact with him."
The food was served and the aroma covered up the smell on his body.
While Tang Xueli was sorting out her thoughts, she asked him, "Are you still gambling when you come to Beijing?"
"Let's have some fun when we have free time." Boss Kuang seemed to have a good appetite and ate with great relish.
Tang Xueli looked at him: "Where are you playing?"
"I'll take you with me next time," said Boss Kuang, smiling. "I'll pay the principal, and if we lose, it's mine. If we win, we'll split it. How about that?"
Tang Xueli: "Do you want to play 'cover beans'?"
"Sure!" Boss Kuang said with great interest.
Tang Xueli: "Tell me how to play it, I don't know how."
Boss Kuang narrowed his eyes and explained the rules of the game in detail.
"You'll understand when you see us play a few games. You haven't seen the real thing, so this is a bit abstract."
There are many ways to play "Covering Beans" with varying rules.
In the countryside, many people also play with simple tools, such as a bag of beans, a cup or a small bowl, and a wooden board.
You can use candies and grains as capital for small games, and the main purpose is to have fun.
If you want to play big, there is no upper limit, and the gambling equipment used is also more advanced.
What Boss Kuang just talked about was an advanced way of playing that has just become popular in Beijing. The chances of winning or losing are huge, and it sounds quite exciting.
Tang Xueli finished chewing a piece of ribs, raised her head and said, "I understand. When are you free to take me out to play?"
"Are you really kidding?" Boss Kuang firmly believed that this girl would never touch these things.
Tang Xueli nodded and asked, "Where are we going to play? How about tomorrow night? I'll go there directly from school then."
"I'll pick you up from school." Boss Kuang said, "You can't find that place."
Tang Xueli asked casually: "Why can't you find it?"
Boss Kuang: "It's quite hidden and hard to find."
"In the old warehouse of Experimental Primary School?" Tang Xueli tore through the thin layer of window paper.
Boss Kuang was slightly stunned, then he laughed, "It seems you know a lot."
"You have the smell of the wood used to play 'bean-covering' on you." Tang Xueli figured out part of it, but there was still something she didn't understand, "What about the smell of disinfectant?"
"That is a special kind of wood that brings fortune. I asked someone to dig the wood out from the dense forests in the south, and had an old carpenter polish it carefully and then have it blessed."
Boss Kuang put down his chopsticks, took a sip of tea, and started talking leisurely.
"This kind of wood is prone to insects, mold and rot, so it needs to be carefully cared for. What you smell is not the smell of disinfectant, but a prepared medicine that is anti-corrosion and insect-proof."
Tang Xueli: "..."
People who do big business are really superstitious.
All this effort is just to play the game of "covering beans".
Is it possible not to play with an ordinary wooden board or cardboard?
Can you really win more money by using blessed items?
Maybe this is what rich people call being particular!
Tang Xueli: "Did you bring the wooden planks from Experimental Primary School?"
"Yes." Boss Kuang said with a smile: "I will basically stay in Beijing for some time in the future. There is nothing fun here, so I will bring my little gadgets here to play with you all."
"Then you should know Chi Daben." Tang Xueli used an affirmative tone this time.
"Yes, my new friend. He is quite capable and good at organizing things."
Boss Kuang has a very high opinion of Chi Daben.
"You two know each other? This world is really big, but it's also really small! After going around in circles, we all find that we are all acquaintances."
Tang Xueli: "He is Feng Biao's follower."
"A follower?" Boss Kuang curled his lips and shook his head, "Not like that."
Something in Tang Xueli's nerves suddenly jumped.
She asked Boss Kuang: "Will Chi Daben be suspicious if you take people to play 'Bean Cover'?"
"Don't you two know each other?" Boss Kuang raised his head and understood instantly, "Oh, you want me to bring someone else to play?"
Tang Xueli: "Is it okay?"
"Girl, what are you planning to do?" Boss Kuang smiled bitterly, "Please don't trap me!"
"I promise not to get you into trouble." Tang Xueli looked earnestly, "Boss Kuang, can you help me?"
"You didn't say anything, how can I help you?"
He pondered for a long time but still couldn't guess what she was going to do.
"I want to shut down these card rooms and gambling dens." Tang Xueli said solemnly, "Get rid of Feng Biao."
She paused, then added, "Maybe there's also Chi Daben."
Boss Kuang looked at her quietly for a long while, "You are really brave. You are blocking someone's money and ruining their business. They will fight you to the death."
Tang Xueli chewed on the ribs and said softly, "Then let's try it."
See who has a tougher life.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell them secretly?"
Boss Kuang looked at the girl in front of him who was about the same age as his daughter, and didn't know what to say.
Tang Xueli raised her eyelids, "Didn't you say that every choice has hidden risks? Only those who can bear the risks can go a long way."
"You trust me so much, I don't know whether I should be happy or not."
To be honest, if this happened to him, he probably wouldn't have the courage to do it.
A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger!
When he was young, he was probably capable of doing such reckless things.
It’s not possible now.
"What's in it for me to help you?" Boss Kuang said helplessly, "If you shut down all the card rooms, I will have no place to play after that."
Tang Xueli said seriously: "I suggest you try something healthier."
Boss Kuang: "... Healthier? For example?"
"Chess, Go, or if that doesn't work, checkers or Gobang will work too. Exercise your brain so you won't be confused when you get older."
Tang Xueli ate the last piece of pork ribs, spat the bones onto the table, rinsed her mouth, and continued, "Or just play mahjong. Don't play for money, because if you get addicted, your family will be ruined."
Boss Kuang burst out laughing, "Hahaha, you're so funny!"
"I'm not kidding." Tang Xueli said seriously, "I'm serious. This is my sincere advice to you as a friend."
Boss Kuang: "Do you know how much money you can win playing this 'cover beans' game?"
"Spending the money you win by cheating will damage your virtue." Tang Xueli said in a light tone, "No matter how much money you have, you have to live to spend it! If you die, it's not certain who will get the money!"
Boss Kuang shuddered when he heard this. No one had ever dared to say such things to him.
It was a simple truth, and I had known it before, but when it was said so directly, it was inexplicably impactful.
"You just need to bring one of my friends in to play, and don't worry about the others."
Tang Xueli looked directly at Boss Kuang and said, "After this is done, I can work with you to make more money, clean big money, money that I can spend with peace of mind and comfort."
