67. The king of gambling again

Hannah's birthday is here in mid-March.

The weather was a bit gloomy. Li Du brought an umbrella when he went out in the morning. He thought it might rain that day.

Spring rain is as expensive as oil, especially for Arizona, which is one of the few states with the least precipitation in the United States.

He took Ah Miao to Hannah's apartment building. As soon as he entered the door, Ah Miao licked her mouth with her tongue, her big eyes widened, her little nose twitched, and she headed straight to the kitchen.

The house has a rich creamy pastry fragrance. In Ah Miao’s recipe, this thing is second only to seafood such as fish and shrimp.

Hanna, wearing an apron, knew who was coming after hearing A's meow. She didn't even look out, but said in the kitchen: "Hi, Li, you came early enough. Boss Fu is still sleeping."

Hans' voice came down from the upper floor: "I heard it, I've woken up long ago!"

The brother and sister started to quarrel, and Li Du smiled and said, "Happy birthday, Hannah, I wish you a day every year and a day every year. Boss Fu, shut up quickly. Hannah is the focus of today, and whatever she says is what she says."

"Okay, I'll listen to Lee." Hans walked down from the upstairs lazily.

Li Du washed his hands and went to the kitchen to help, and asked, "Will there be many customers coming today? Your cake was prepared early enough."

Hannah smiled and said, "Of course, I'll be entertaining guests later, and I won't have time to work again at that time."

There are a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator and cabinet. Li Du said: "I'll help you clean up. You bake the cake and go to rest. Today is your big day. How can you let you work?"

Hannah did not refuse, thanked her and walked out.

Hans lay on the door panel and asked, "Don't you change your mind? Hannah is such a great girl!"

Li Du easily chose the celery and said, "If I agree, Hannah is a super awesome girl, but there is no spark between us, we will become good friends, not good couples."

Hans wanted to say something, Hannah's voice sounded: "Boss Fu, come, help me hang up these colorful lights, don't be idle, okay?"

At about ten o'clock, the number of visitors gradually increased, and the building became lively.

Hannah introduced to the two that the main person who came here now was her work colleagues. She worked in a convenience store, which is quite large, with a total of fourteen people, and all eight people who were off work were here.

From this we can see that Hannah is very popular.

Seeing Li Du and Boss Fu, these people lined up like a team to be inspected, and looked respectful when they reached out.

Seeing this, Li Du smiled and said, "What's wrong? We are Hannah's brothers, not your leader. Everyone seems to be a little restrained?"

A young man said, "Hello, Li, we have long admired you two for a long time. Your stories are circulating in the Flagstaff City, and your experience in picking up treasures in your warehouse is simply amazing."

Li Du suddenly realized that this was the case. Hannah probably brags about them a lot, otherwise these people would not have looked like idols.

Hans was the best at dealing with such occasions. He quickly mingled with these people. A few minutes later, several men were already whispering about which girl in the red light district of Flagstaff City had better life and which girl had longer legs...

The relatives of the brother and sister came later, including Hannah's aunt, uncle's family, and other relatives. There were more than twenty people.

Americans attach great importance to relatives. When Hans saw these elders, he no longer smiled, but showed his steady and mature side.

It was almost noon, and another wave of people came, the car repair boy Stephen. He also brought a few young men and women. Hannah happily went up to hug them when she saw them, and then Li Du heard them chat and judged that this was a middle school classmate.

His personality is quiet, and the room is full of authentic Americans. So he is not very natural to stay here, so he takes the initiative to ask to go to the kitchen to prepare dishes.

Hans didn't treat him as an outsider and pulled him and said, "You still need to prepare food? Let's just roast some meat and order takeaway. Come on, I'll introduce you to our relatives."

"Our home?" Li Du noticed that Stephen's face changed when he heard the word, just like the sky outside.

Hans said with confidence: "Yes, you are my boss Fu's brother. Aren't my relatives your relatives? Isn't my relatives your relatives?"

Stephen's expression immediately looked much better, and the sky outside turned cloudy and sunny.

Li Du still insisted on going to the kitchen to cook. Hannah came in to help, but she pushed her out and said that she would leave it to him.

Stephen and several classmates also walked into the kitchen, and a young man with small dreadlocks said, "It's almost 11:30 now, and it's only enough time for you to cook one or two dishes? What's this? Are you pretending?"

Hannah turned around and glared at the little dreadlocks and said, "Crane, don't say that."

Stephen shook his head at Crane and said, "Lee has been busy in the kitchen in the morning, and it is not fair to him that you say."

Crane whispered: "Idiot Stephen, you are as honest as you were in middle school, just watch Hannah be chased by others, you should seize every opportunity to hit him!"

The kitchen space was small, and everyone heard this. Stephen waved his hand and said, "Don't, Crane, for the sake of the Virgin Mary, don't say such things."

Li Du looked at the little dreadlocks with interest and said, "You are Crane? It's eleventh. How about lunch starting at twelve o'clock? I'll prepare a hearty dinner for you, hearty Chinese food."

"Half an hour? Are you alone? How is that possible!" Xiao Dickling said with a pout.

Li Du said: "In this way, if you make a bet, the loser will do the winner a favor. Of course, you can't be too busy with this, dare?"

Little Dirty is not a brave guy. Seeing Mr. Li looking at his heartfelt appearance, he hesitated a little.

Several other classmates encouraged him:

"Crane comes, he can't make a big meal in half an hour!"

"We have more than thirty people, and one person makes such a feast in half an hour? Ha, unless he is David Copperfield, a magician of light and shadow."

"Slap him in the face, brother, let Stephen vent."

So many people were motivating, and the little dreadlocks couldn't be cowardly. He hugged his arms on his chest and said proudly: "Go ahead and bet."

Stephen stopped the little dreadlocks and said, "Don't, man, Hans told me that Lee has a nickname called Jin Gao in a Chinese casino."

"Who is Jin Gao?" The little dreadlocks were confused.

Hannah explained: "The Chinese will call him Gao Jin, the legendary gambling king."

Li Du smiled and pushed them out of the kitchen, saying, "Okay, the bet has begun. Everyone gives way to me, I'm going to start construction."

The little dreadlocked asked while retreating, "Are you really the gambling king? Then who is better than Peter Eastgate?"

Peter Eastgate is a Danish, but is well-known in the American gambling industry. In 2008, the casino Las Vegas held a World Poker Competition. Peter passed the hurdles and won the championship, eventually winning $9.15 million, making him famous all the way!

Li Du smiled and said, "In half an hour, you will know the answer."... Friends reading books, you can search for "" and find this site as soon as possible.
