Ding Tian's Ancient Life

"This...has no smell?" The steward is used to the first gangster, and is not very sensitive to the smell, especially at this time, because the weather is warm and the doors and windows are open, what kind of smell can there be? ?

Ding Tian's face turned blue: "Find a secluded place to play, there are so many people, why are you making such a fuss? Are you annoying?"

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and retreated.

Jin Buhuan sighed: "Boss, find a quieter place, my little friend is precious."

"Yes, yes!" The manager didn't mind at all, Ding Tian brushed his face.

Gold is good, he doesn't welcome people who are not gold!

After coming out, Ding Tian went to the second entrance under the attentive leadership of the steward. There were private rooms in the second entrance, not only private rooms for playing mahjong, but also private rooms for betting.

In the place just now, there were crushed pieces of silver with poor quality; the copper plates were greasy one by one, and there were not many new ones that looked like civilians.

But in Erjin, it was different, here Ding Tian saw silver on the gaming table, but no copper coins!

The manager cautiously apologized and said with a smile: "Here, only silver coins are accepted, and copper coins are not accepted. Otherwise, everyone's bets are so high, and a large basket of copper coins is not very convenient!"

As a result, Ding Tian looked disgusted: "Is that money?"

"Ah?" The manager didn't understand, why did he still look disgusted?

Ding Tian just came here to make decisions. If there is no trouble, how can he meet the owner?So he came to do it: "I thought I saw rocks!"

"What?" The manager was even more confused.

At this time, Er Jin's manager came over: "Your Master, is this your first visit?"

Seeing the arrival of the second steward, the first steward bowed quickly: "Second brother, I will entrust this young master to your reception. I have something to do ahead of me, so I will go back first."

"Go!" Er Jin's steward waved his hand.

Once in, the steward slipped away.

The first entrance, the second entrance and the third entrance here are managed by three managers respectively.

There is a person in charge of each entry, the highest and best is of course the big person in charge of the third entry, the second entry is in the second entry, and the third entry is in the first entry

There is a competitive relationship between the steward and the steward. Whoever earns more can gain face and have a rich purse.

Moreover, the big shopkeeper is the one who has an overview of all the books, and the boss is the one who checks the accounts and collects the money.

On weekdays, the boss doesn't show up, and they are all in charge. The big shopkeeper just takes care of the accounts and pays according to the accounts.

So the one who stepped forward was the one in charge.

"You guys are also called silver?" Ding Tian looked at the dusty silver pieces on the table with disgust.

"Young master, of course we have money!" One of the gamblers said unconvinced, "This is my hard-earned money!" The gambler was well dressed, a half-worn satin dress, but his eyes were a little red , It seems that I have been gambling for a long time.

Ding Tian pouted: "The fineness of the silver, I thought it was silver ore!"

This means that this thing is unrefined, right?Otherwise how could the color be so bad?

Ding Tian's squeamish behavior made Er Jin's steward very satisfied. The more squeamish he is, the more it means that this young man is here for the first time, and his family background is superior!

"You are here to play, you don't like these things, so go to the private room!" The second manager is more considerate than the first manager: "The private room is full of elegant people, if you go, I promise you will like it."

"I hope!" Ding Tian pouted, "Let's go."

The second entrance compartment is really elegant. If it weren't for the gambling shop, this place would almost catch up with Du Zhifu's study.

It's true, Erjin's steward led Ding Tian and the others to the first private room. There was an orchid door plate hanging on it. There was no writing, only carved orchids, but the workmanship was very good, and it looked very particular. .

And after entering the door, there are three tables inside, there are several guests in custody, there is no shouting, even the croupier speaks very clearly, everyone seems to be walking in the courtyard, not as noisy as outside, so noisy, the atmosphere Well, elegant indeed.

What's more, these people... Ding Tian recognized a few of them. The two scholars who had met his uncle were a little unfamiliar, but at first glance they were scholars. like a gambler outside

fierce.

And the silver they use is indeed better than that from outside.

It's just... Ding Tian is here to do it!

"This is not good either, use silver...huh!" Ding Tian took out a small gold ingot from his purse very calmly.The gold ingot exudes pure gold, and under the light, the gold is even more dazzling and reflective!

This little gold ingot is one or two gold ingots, and it looks like the "Eight Treasures of the Spring Festival". In rich and noble families, it is used for children to celebrate the new year. Judging by its fineness, it is pure gold!

"Is there no place to play with gold? Silver is so white and so ugly... I just like gold." Ding Tian knew that in this borderland, such pure gold things are rare, not to mention that he came looking for someone, so he didn't see any of them. Lord, he has to do it!

"Yes, yes!" Er Jin's steward took a deep breath: "Third Jin's bets are all big, and there is also a special place for betting with gold, that is...you...how big do you want to play?"

The subtext is, how much gold do you have?

Ding Tian tugged out a thumb-sized golden pearl from his golden silk sachet: "Look at this, how much gold is it worth?"

"Gong Zhu!" Er Jin's steward was a person who had seen the world, and immediately exclaimed: "You... May I ask what your name is, young master?

"

"You are a boar!" Ding Tian yelled, "Your family is all boars!"

When he first came here, he was scolded by others. Ding Tian, ​​who has a bad temper, came here to make things happen. He came here today to "do things"!

Jin Buhuan pulled him to explain in embarrassment: "He speaks with a non-local accent, and he is talking about Gongzhu, not a boar. You are a poor listener...

"

Ding Tian: "...Really?"

A suspicious look, obviously the posture of a spoiled young master!

"Yes, yes, I have seen Gongzhu before, and it is this kind of gold...it is priceless!" The manager of Erjin didn't mind being scolded for no reason at all, but he was still asking: "I don't know if Xiao What is your surname, son? Which mansion is it from?"

This has to be clarified, there seems to be no such wealthy family in Beidi who can play with tribute beads...

"Come to play with you, it seems that you don't need to declare your family name?" Jin Buhuan blocked the topic for Ding Tian: "Find a better table."

"Yes, yes, please go to Sanjin, it's the most elegant place." The steward of Erjin knew that he couldn't ask anything, and the accompanying person seemed to be a sophisticated person, and it was true that such a stunned young man went out, and he didn't know what to do outside What kind of situation is it? If you don't accompany a sophisticated person, you may cause trouble.

In fact, even if there is no money, Ding Tian is here to cause trouble, okay?

The steward of the second Jin sent them to the third. The boy passing by him: "Go and ask the chief steward to come over, there are distinguished guests!"

Those who work as servants here are all clever ghosts. When they see Ding Tian's outfit, they know that he is a fat sheep. But if the second-level steward can bring him to the third level, it is not as simple as a fat sheep. , maybe it's a golden lamb!

"Hey!" The boy ran away quickly.

Erjin's steward invited Ding Tian and the others into a private room.

This private room is quite grand, with double doors, carved windows, and a simple and elegant layout. It doesn't look like a place that should be in a gambling house, but rather like a guest room of a wealthy family.

The tables were all laid out with brocade, and the chairs were grand masters. Even the tea was served, and Ding Tian took a sip... He didn't taste it good or bad, but Jin Buhuan shook his head and said, "Well, it's a good Tieguanyin."

Only then did Ding Tian realize that what he was drinking was Tieguanyin, and he also shook his head: "It's not as good as Dongding Oolong."

Erjin's steward shivered: "Dongding Oolong...have you ever drank it?"

"Drink it!" Ding Tian said sharply, "It's better than this."

"That's it, that's it!" Erjin's steward nodded and bowed: "This is just an ordinary Anxi Tieguanyin, of course it can't be compared with the excellent tea like Dongding Oolong, and my heart turned over!

Tieguanyin, as long as you have money, you can buy it. Of course, the best Tieguanyin is tribute tea, and you can't buy it if you have money, let alone if you have money... dare to buy tribute tea?

The Dongding Oolong is different.

First of all, although the two teas are both oolong teas, Dongding oolong tea is a serious tribute tea, unlike Tieguanyin, which is graded.

Even if the frozen top oolong is tea foam, it is also a tribute tea foam!

Among oolong teas, Dongding oolong is a pure tribute tea, only those who are rewarded from above can drink it, and it is not circulated in the market at all

That is a tribute, who dares to distribute tribute tea?

You don't need to get the stolen goods at the same time. If there are rumors, the court will have to send people to investigate.

But if you can drink Dongding Oolong, you can taste good or bad... What does this young master do at home?

"Is it okay?" Ding Tian lied without changing his face: "But I like the Dahongpao in Wuyishan."

The Dahongpao of Wuyi Mountain is also a tribute tea, but it is divided into grades.

Ding Tian, ​​who can't even tell the difference between Haolai tea leaves or the water soaked in foam, actually only remembers the names of a few famous tea leaves.

Now if he wants to fool people, he picks what he knows. He once went to a restaurant for dinner and there was a drink called "Dongding Oolong Tea Drink". A bottle cost five yuan.

He drank it at that time, but it was actually to quench his thirst, and he didn't taste it at all.

In ancient times...he didn't drink tea very much at first, one was because the tea was too expensive to drink, and the other was because he didn't have the habit.He can't tell whether the tea is good or bad.

It's still been a long time with Wang Zuo, Wang Zuo gave him a lot of good tea, and Wang Fugui whispered to him for a long time every time, telling him to cherish these good teas, they are all tributes.

Only then did he realize that the ancient times were very particular, and even a bottle of ordinary beverages in modern times would dare to use frozen top oolong.

It was not good in ancient times, good tea, but not so good.

"Have you ever drank Dahongpao?" Erjin's steward said cautiously, "Is it the best?"

The top-grade Dahongpao is tribute tea, and the rare Dahongpao is not easy to get. The amount of it is just over two catties a year, and it is a treasure specially for the emperor to drink.

"It's Iron Arhat." Ding Tian smacked his mouth, "It tastes better than Dongding Oolong."

"That's, that's..." Er Jin's manager broke out in a cold sweat.

"I heard that there are distinguished guests coming?" At this moment, a stout man came in.

This man was tall and big, with a fierce look on his face. Even when he was smiling and talking, his eyes were full of evil spirits. He didn't look like a good person at first glance.

However, this man was wearing a brocade suit... He wanted to pretend to be a rich man, but he learned to be different.

How can such a person look like a rich man?

It looks like a robber wearing the rich man's clothes after killing the rich man.

Big saber eyebrows, tiger eyes, and a beard like Zhang Fei on his mouth.

As soon as Jin Buhuan saw him, he told Ding Tian, ​​"This is Qiu Wu."

"I'll leave this to the elder brother. I still have something to do over there, so I'm leaving!" The manager of Erjin cupped his hands, said a polite word, and slipped out.

He wants to talk to his boss...

"Go, go!" Qiu Wu waved his hand very bluntly, like chasing flies away.

And Qiu Wu was followed by four people, two servants, and two thugs, passing by the steward of Er Jin, and entered the door.

Seeing Jin Buhuan, one of the thugs exclaimed, "Doctor Jin? Why are you here?"
