He Nan had been in Lining County for a long time, and he was almost able to get credit at nearby teahouses and restaurants.
Maybe some people don’t quite understand, what is the “level of credit in teahouses and restaurants”?
In the transaction process of Shengguo, there is a word called "Three Festival Settlement", which means that the contents of the account books are counted and settled at the three time points of New Year's Eve, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival. Both merchants and guests can keep their hearts in mind.
Have a good holiday in your belly comfortably.
The term "three-quarter checkout" is not difficult to understand, but many people may have a lot of doubts about the emergence of the behavior of "accounting on credit", but in fact "accounting on credit" is a very common behavior these days.
The reasons are generally as follows - first, the purchasing power of silver is quite rich. If you just drink a pot of relatively ordinary tea in a teahouse, one tael of silver is enough to drink ten or eight meals.
If you drink a pot of wine to warm two ingredients in an affordable restaurant, it will take you a month to finish it; secondly, most of the silver coins are broken pieces, which are difficult to weigh and are not as convenient to use as copper coins; thirdly,
, although copper coins have replaced silver taels and become the first currency in circulation, the values of the two are completely different. Traditional money has a thousand copper coins, but it is only worth one tael of silver, but who can go out for a walk and know how to
How about carrying a few kilograms of copper coins with you? It's neither convenient nor beautiful, and it makes you very tired.
To sum up, there is an unspoken rule of credit for regular customers, or it can be said to be a conventional rule, which is convenient for both others and ourselves.
Naturally, He Nan is not a regular customer of the local restaurants in Lining County, but don't forget that this guy also has a mouth that can tell the truth about people's feelings.
He screamed, and anyone who came would think that this guy was a reliable person.
Two flowers bloomed, one on each side. When He Nan came to Lining County, it was natural that Old Wei and Mr. Chen were indispensable. The three of them had a clear division of labor and each performed their own duties - He Nan naturally wandered the streets and alleys, interacting with the three religions and nine schools.
People came and went; Chen Yanbi, the dignified eldest son of the Chen family, was sent by He Nan to hang out among the rouge and powder; to say it was easy, it was Old Wei who practiced martial arts by himself all day long.
On days when Chen Yanbi drank too much, Wei Kui might not be able to say a word to anyone all day long.
Judging from He Nan's character, he naturally likes to gamble and fight with others, but he is limited to playing and joking with friends in private. Because Master strictly prohibits disciples from Shanhe Prefecture from getting into bad habits, he has never set foot in a gambling house so far.
A place like this, and besides, he didn’t have the spare money to spend time and wine, until this time when he entered Lining County, he had to get involved in gambling, so he had to go to the palace.
Lining County is the "hometown of gambling" that promotes gambling. Naturally, there are all kinds of gambling projects. There are dozens of games using "dice" and complete rules, not to mention chess and cards.
There are many kinds of games, and the most lively and intense ones are games in which animals and insects fight each other, such as cockfighting and cricket fighting. Of course, this kind of project that requires specialized breeding of gambling tools is not something ordinary people can play.
Most of the people who have children are high-ranking officials who are keen on playing games.
From a professional point of view, He Nan, who has just stepped into this Lining gambling house, is not a qualified gambler. At best, he can only be regarded as an ordinary gambler, and the vast majority of ordinary players who come here to kill time
Similarly, if you win, you will be ecstatic or secretly happy; if you lose, you will curse "bad luck" and walk away, waiting to repeat the above process one day when you have some spare money at your disposal.
At first, He Nan would indeed rely on his good mind, memory and good eyesight to win some small money, until he lost everything on a mahjong table.
As smart as he is, he naturally cannot fall into the same pit twice. It was only after he suffered a disastrous defeat in the "game" with others that he realized one thing.
Why is Lining County called the "Hometown of Gambling" rather than the "Hometown of Gambling".
Those who can hang out in the casinos here are those who really have two skills in their hands, which is fundamentally different from those players whose winning or losing depends entirely on luck.
The slang in the world of rivers and lakes refers to them as "coaches".
Gambling involves chips and skills. Take mahjong as an example. At best, ordinary mahjong enthusiasts can only rely on observing the mahjong tiles played by each person to determine the opponent's hand.
In terms of card types, the next best thing is to sort out your hand and wait for a fool at the same table to "shoot" or God gives him a "self-draw" card; but for real gamblers,
, the game has already started when the dice are thrown, the banker is determined, the cards are shuffled, and the cards are stacked.
Every gambler has his or her own different style and technique, that is, "technique" and "thousands of skills", and this is the real way to victory...
As for some other decisive factors at the poker table - of course people with strong luck will be unfavorable in the casino, but real gamblers know that gambling relies on "means" such as calculation, psychology, and cheating to win money.
Yes, these methods will come at a corresponding price in the casino, ranging from being sent to jail by the casino, to permanently losing the ability to participate in gambling, or even life... When people can win one or two games by relying on luck
There are people, but there are no people who can always win by relying on luck.
He Nan naturally knew nothing about Chu Qian, and there was no one around him who could teach him these methods, so in order to achieve his goal, he had to adopt a "stupid method".
The principle of this so-called "stupid method" is based on the materials used to make mahjong tiles. Due to cost considerations, the mahjong tables in gambling houses have one or two fixed sets, each made of bamboo or bone.
mahjong tiles...
Because whether it is bamboo or beef and sheep bones, the texture behind each tile is different, so this gives the scammers an opportunity to take advantage of it - He Nan memorized two entire sets of mahjong tiles.
It is said to be a stupid method, but this method would be impossible to complete in any case without a very amazing memory, and it can be regarded as a very amazing skill. But of course the reason why it is called "stupid" is the same as that commonly used by con men.
, compared with thousands of techniques that rely on the rapidity of techniques, "silent cards" have a fundamental efficiency gap - to put it simply, as long as you change a deck of cards, this trick will be self-defeating.
Of course, this stupid method is the safest among all techniques. He Nan spent a lot of time in Lining County. According to his observation, the number of disabled beggars here is much more than in other areas. It goes without saying that the reason must be
——In short, He Nan didn't want to become an armless hero. If he didn't need to catch a big fish himself... why would he bother himself?
…………
"I said...are you a rich man?" The drunk man sitting at He Nan's house pushed money in front of He Nan for the ninth time tonight, and he hadn't opened his shop yet, so he was naturally very worried.
Jealous.
He Nan picked his teeth with his tongue and made a "sizzling" sound. He glanced at the arrogant drunk: "You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense!"
"Then how do you explain that you won nine hands tonight, all by yourself?" The drunk man choked. Although He Nan did not win nine hands in a row, it was a small probability event, but nine hands were played by himself on this table.
It is indeed an extremely suspicious incident.
You know, when a drunkard says that he is unable to get out of a thousand, it can be regarded as "the thief shouts to catch the thief". All the regulars at this mahjong table are good at thousands of skills. Let them believe that a person can beat them with luck, which is better than crushing them with thousands of skills.
Still hard to accept.
"Good luck." He Nan didn't even look at the drunk man, and continued to sort out his cards: "I advise you to pay attention to the content of your words, for your own sake... Everyone knows the rules of the casino -
- If you want me to cheat you out of a thousand dollars, you have to catch me on the spot, otherwise you will have to pay a considerable price for your behavior of randomly accusing others of cheating you out of thousands dollars, and you can't afford to lose the same thing, right?"
"Uh..." The drunk man also reacted quickly. He quickly glanced around the people at the same table, and finally his eyes fell on He Nan's opponent, and he closed his mouth angrily. Indeed, if there is no evidence,
But if he arbitrarily accuses others of cheating, the consequences will not be any better than those of being caught red-handed. The rest of the card game fell into a weird silence.
He Nan is not the kind of guy who thinks he has control of the situation and leaves no way out. In fact, the results of tonight's battle are already the result of him "taking it", and his purpose tonight is naturally...
Just when He Nan was about to take the money off the table as he was trying his best tonight, something unexpected happened.
An arm embroidered with flowers suddenly passed through the collapsed mountain and pressed on He Nan's trophy.
The owner of the hand was a young man with a rather fierce face, with upside-down triangular eyes, a high-arched lion's head and nose, and withered and yellow hair standing on top. He stared at He Nan with strange eyes and spit out the toothpick in his mouth:
"Boy, you are very brave to make a fortune in a gambling house in Laizhou!"
"You finally said something." Unexpectedly, He Nan didn't even look at the pile of copper coins. He put his hands behind his head and lay back on the armchair, crossing his legs: "I thought you could sink.
You have to be angry..."
"You think so... the chief gambler of Laizhou Gambling House." He Nan ignored the strange looks from others and directly revealed the other party's identity.
Whether it is a prestigious casino like Laizhou Gambling House or a black game run by a few idle gangsters on the street, there are specific personnel responsible for watching the scene. The lower-level ones are just thugs, while the higher-level ones are just thugs.
The venue will spend a lot of money to hire knowledgeable experts to serve as "gambling monitors" to prevent gamblers from cheating.
The job of gambling supervisor also has its own ways, usually divided into two types: open supervisor and secret supervisor. The open supervisor is the staff of the gambling house, from the steward to the servant, it can be regarded as a kind of open supervisor, just like
They are shining brightly around you like a lantern, making people afraid of cheating easily. In contrast, the special feature of "hidden jailers" is that they hide their identities most of the time, just like ordinary gamblers.
They hang out in the casino just like the guests, and the business they are responsible for is essentially different from that of the Ming Jian - those caught by the Ming Jian are just those who should be sent to the official, and those who should be chopping off their hands, but the undercover prison does not
You are so kind, before they punish you, they will first take out all your money, and then send you to the official where it is due, and chop off your hand where it is due.
"What are you looking for me for?" The young man didn't care about how He Nan figured out his identity, but since the other party wanted him to come forward, it wasn't too late to ask about the purpose first.
"Let's talk about a deal." He Nan said with a smile.
The young man frowned, with a tired light in his eyes: "When discussing business, you should go to our boss. If you go to me, you are looking for the wrong person."
"No, no, no..." He Nan smiled and shook his head, "The business I'm talking about is asking you to supervise a big bet. I think you should be very interested. Of course, there are many people here talking, so I'm sorry.
Don’t dare to lie.”
"Hmph, you dare to do even the most dangerous things under my nose, what else can you not dare to say?" The chief eunuch snorted coldly: "It's not impossible to invite me to go, our gambling shop is originally
There is a replacement, but don’t blame me for being the first to say something ugly..."
"Laizhou Gambling House is my favorite place. Even if you come to me to discuss business sincerely, if you make money here, you will break the rules of the gambling house and slap me in the face..." The young man said word by word, "
Talk, you can talk, but you have to settle the accounts that need to be settled first...you think so?"
As soon as the supervisor said these words, the waiter who was waiting handed over a shiny steel knife and a piece of white cloth. The supervisor wiped the steel knife clean, and then put the white cloth on the greeting card.
It's difficult to find it under the right wrist.
In such a scene, He Nan was naturally frightened and sweating profusely, but he couldn't show any weakness on his face: "The gambling house has its own rules, but I have also heard of your own rules, Chief Supervisor..."
"Oh?" Supervisor Bet's knife was already hanging on He Nan's finger.
"I invite you to play a bet..." He Nanpi said with a smile: "Whether I win or lose, I must discuss business with you - I win, the account is cleared, I lose... both hands
Presented."
After that, He Nan put his left hand under the steel knife, and the blade was touching the hair on He Nan's wrist.
