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 a tea house and restaurant”?
In the transaction process of Shengguo, there is a word called "three festival settlements", 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. In your belly, have a good festival 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 do it? How many kilograms of copper coins do you carry with you? It's neither convenient nor beautiful, and it makes me 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 kid also has a mouth that can talk about people's feelings. The most unbearable thing is to climb people's hearts. He Nan is like an old brother in this room. He screamed, and anyone who came would think that this guy was a reliable person.
Two flowers bloom, one on each side. When He Nan came to Lining County, it was natural that Lao Wei and Mr. Chen were indispensable. The three of them had a clear division of labor and each performed his own duties - He Nan naturally wandered the streets and interacted with people of three religions and nine streams; Chen Yanbi, a dignified Maolin The eldest son of the Chen family was sent by He Nan to hang out among the rouge and powder crowd; to say it was easy, it was Old Wei who practiced martial arts by himself all day long. Once there was a day when He Nan and Chen Yanbi drank too much, Wei Kui may not be able to say a word to anyone for a whole day.
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, and 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 he entered Lining County and 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 gambling tools such as "dice" with complete rules, not to mention chess and cards. There are many ways to play, 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 are rich are those with high status and nobles who are keen on enjoying things.
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 leave, 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, gambling, gambling is chips, gambling is technology. Take mahjong as an example. Ordinary mahjong enthusiasts can only rely on observing the mahjong tiles played by each person to determine the type of tiles in the opponent's hand. After sorting the cards, they wait for a fool at the same table to "shoot" or God gives him a "self-drawing" card; but for real gamblers, from throwing dice, setting the banker, shuffling the cards, and counting the cards The game has already begun.
Every gambler has his or her own different style and technique, that is, "technique" and "thousand 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 of mahjong tiles made of bamboo or bone pieces...
Because whether it is bamboo or beef and sheep bones, the texture behind each card is different, so this gives the scammers an opportunity to take advantage of - He Nan memorized two full sets of mahjong tiles.
It is said to be a stupid method, but this method would be impossible to accomplish without a very amazing memory. It can be regarded as a very remarkable skill. But the reason why it is called "stupid" is of course that compared with the thousands of tricks commonly used by conmen, which rely on the rapid execution of tricks, the "silent card" has a fundamental efficiency gap - to put it simply, as long as you change it Second card, then this trick is self-defeating.
Of course, this stupid method is the safest among thousands of 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 is natural - in short, He Nan does not want to become an armless hero. If he didn't have to go out and catch a big fish himself...why would he bother himself?
…………
"I said... are you rich?" 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 naturally he was 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 come 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, 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 and not being able to afford 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 you accuse others of cheating, the outcome will not be any better than that of a scammer who is caught red-handed, and the rest of the game will fall into a weird silence.
He Nan is not the kind of guy who thinks he has control of the situation and leaves no room for retreat. 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 when he was about to take the money off the table, something unexpected happened.
An arm embroidered with flowers suddenly passed through the collapsed sign 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 calm down." 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 casino. The lower-level ones are just thugs, while the higher-level ones are just thugs. The casino 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 The lantern is shining brightly around you, making people afraid to make trouble easily. In contrast, the particularity of "undercover supervisors" is that they hide their identities most of the time and hang out in casinos just like ordinary gamblers. The business they are responsible for is essentially different from that of the open supervisors. The difference - those caught by the overt prison are just those who should be sent to the official, and those whose hands should be chopped off, but the secret prison is not so kind. They will take out all your money before punishing you. Er Jing, then those who should be sent to the official will be sent to the official, and those who should be chopped off will have their hands chopped off.
"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 who talk a lot, so I don't understand. Don’t dare to speak nonsense.”
"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 big supervisor said these words, the waiter who was waiting handed over a shiny steel knife and a piece of white cloth. The big 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, but he couldn't show weakness on his face: "The gambling house has its own rules, but I have also heard of your own rules, the chief eunuch..."
"Oh?" The chief supervisor's sword 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 will definitely discuss business with you - I win, the accounts are cleared, I lose... both hands Offer it up."
After that, He Nan put his left hand under the steel knife, and the blade was touching the hair on He Nan's wrist.
