Recap
Bret is playing poker at the Red Ox and his Chinese opponent is the only other player in. He offers a ring to cover his bet but Bret refuses. The player then offers a piece of paper with Chinese writing on it. The player’s friend assures Bret that it’s a paper granting “breeding stock” and is worth much more than the $100 to cover the pot.

Bret quickly slips away, assuring his partner that he’ll pay it later when Tom has the books ready. ..Read the full recap
