"Empty?", Xie Qin did not understand the word. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Oh, I'm sorry, I said I'm used to it," Xu Huan smiled and explained, "Kongzi is a black word in the rivers and lakes, that is, the meaning of layman." ”

"Oh...... Is it lip code?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xu Huan showed a surprised expression, "Brother Qin, do you still know about the lip codex?"

Xie Qin laughed: "I saw it in the novel. ”

"That's right," Xu Huan nodded, and said with some emotion, "It's the information age, and there's no secret." ”

Xie Qin said: "You can't say that, some secrets are still secrets, such as the existence of rivers and lakes, most people don't know." "Xindao, if it weren't for being kidnapped, I probably wouldn't have known these things in my life, and I wouldn't have known the true identities of the old man and Xiaoyu.

"Haha, that's right. Xu Huan smiled.

"Let's continue to talk about the mahjong house. Xie Qin said.

"Well," Xu Huan nodded, "I don't know who founded the mahjong house, and it is said that it first originated in Sichuan. ”

"Sichuan?" Xie Qin was stunned.

"Can't you think of it?" Xu Huan smiled, "Do you think that they play mahjong just for entertainment?" But this is also a rumor in the rivers and lakes, and I don't know if it's true or not." ”

"Oh......"

"As I just said, playing mahjong is only the form of a mahjong house, as for why this form is used, according to my guess, it may be because it is more popular, the ancient times are different from now, the rivers and lakes are much closer to the world, and the people in the market play mahjong Kan Dashan, often say some useful information, in this regard, it is the same as teahouses and wine shops. Presumably, someone took a fancy to this, hired a group of intelligence dealers to collect information everywhere, and then sold it through mahjong as a medium, which has the advantage of not attracting attention. Places like wine shops and teahouses have a good chance of having the golden finger of the eagle's talon. ”

"Talon?"

Xu Huan said: "The black words of the rivers and lakes, the eagle claw, is the person of the government, and the golden finger is the informant." In ancient times, in order to control the rivers and lakes, the government would send informants to teahouses and restaurants to listen to information, so as to learn about major events in the rivers and lakes, or the whereabouts of a certain official wanted criminal, and so on.

"The government and the rivers and lakes are two people, and the information is heard, but if you are wanted by the government, if you want to go to the wine store to find out the news, you have to take a big risk, and you don't have to worry about this problem when you go to the mahjong house. ”

"Why?" asked Sechin.

"Because all mahjong rooms are divided into two floors, the first floor is open, the second floor is a private room, and the buying and selling information is in the private room, in order to prevent the eagle talon from watching outside the store, some mahjong houses even have secret passages. ”

"This mahjong house...... How many homes?" asked Sechin.

Xu Huan said: "It's not just that there are many houses, and they have opened all over the country. ”

"Awesome. Xie Qin sighed.

Xu Huan said: "So, the mahjong house was first started by intelligence, and other businesses were later, but as the old saying goes, the expensive essence is not too expensive, and it is all done single-handedly, but it will not be professional enough." ”

Xie Qin was puzzled: "Isn't this good?" When the time comes, they will come out with another tick and are looking for the nearest clerk for you......

Xu Huan looked at him and asked rhetorically: "Do you think a master of fortune telling, pedicure, shoe repair and key is reliable?"

What a god parable! Xie Qin was stunned for a moment, shook his head again and again, and said, "No, it's not reliable......"

"Isn't this over," Xu Huan clapped his hands and said, "If you do it all by yourself, it will seem to be cheap." Customers with a little brain will definitely not entrust, and a person with a little brain will not apply, and in the long run, mahjong houses will become third-rate, or even fourth-rate, and even their reputation has become cheaper. You know, the mahjong house was second to none in the world of intelligence brokers. So I always felt that this was a rather stupid idea, the mahjong house must have been poor and crazy at the beginning, otherwise it would not be so lacking in heart. ”

"I feel you're right. Xie Qin nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Then what kind of business method is this information?"

Xu Huan said: "It's very simple, go to the counter to ask for a private room on the second floor, and tell the inside, I want to have a plate of 'Shanhai Bureau', which means to do intelligence business, and when the time comes, the person who comes up to play mahjong with us is their intelligence dealer, and when playing mahjong, tell him what to buy and ask for it." ”

Xie Qin thought for a while, and then said, "Then the way this mahjong is played is different from usual, right?"

"Clever, Brother Qin. Xu Huan smiled and said, "It's really different, the cards we want to play outside are the prices we estimate." ”

"Do we still have to estimate it?" Sechin was surprised.

Xu Huan said: "The purpose of the appraisal is to tell the traffickers how much money we can pay for this piece of information." It's okay if you don't make a price, but you will be slaughtered. ”

"Why can't you just say it?" Sechin wondered.

Xu Huan shook his head and said: "There are rules for one door, here in the mahjong house, the rule is to play mahjong when doing business, and the process of playing mahjong is the process of bargaining." If you don't understand the rules, you will be treated as a void, and the result of being treated as a void will be slaughtered. ”

"Okay, I see," Sechin nodded, and asked again, "tell me how to play." ”

Xu Huan said: "That's the case, every suit is a price, Suozi card, ah, it's one or two you are talking about, it's 100 yuan, the tube card, it's 1,000 yuan, the 10,000-word card is 10,000 yuan, and the ordinary price is generally 10,000."

"In most cases, when the cards are played, the intelligence dealers will come to eat and form a pair or straight - the rules of the mahjong house, the first place in the ordinary quotation code is three. ”

"If it's a very small piece of information, wouldn't it be the end of a pair of cards?" asked Sechin.

"That's true," Xu Huan nodded, "If that's the case, then the next card will be played normally, and if the price is high, the second and third pairs will be made up." At this point, the intelligence dealer can bargain by not taking the cards, but it would be embarrassing for him not to take them at first - that would mean that you have misestimated the price. ”

"Huh?" Xie Qin was stunned, "what if they didn't draw the corresponding card?"

Xu Huan shook his head: "There will be no such thing, because the shuffling is done by them, they have special shuffling skills, and there will definitely be pairs or straights in the cards drawn at the beginning." ”

"Well, what happens if you misestimate the price?" asked Sechin.

Xu Huan said: "If the price is wrong, it will be the turn of the dealer to play the card, and their price code will be greatly raised, such as from 300 to 3,000, from 3,000 to 30,000, because under normal circumstances, the price code is these three, and the fault tolerance rate is very high. ”

"What about the special combination?"

Xu Huan said: "The price of special combinations is very high, which is obvious, and the intelligence of this price is also very important, and the impact on the rivers and lakes will naturally not be small." ”

Xie Qin carried forward the spirit of breaking the casserole and asking the end: "What if the countryman is unequaled thirteen?"

Xu Huan was stunned for a moment, and then responded: "I haven't seen it." ”

"Huh?" Sechin was taken aback.

Xu Huan said: "This kind of intelligence can already reach the sky, and in ancient times, it could change the dynasty, and you can't see this kind of information in the mahjong house, because they don't dare to buy it or sell it." The reason is very simple: the job is gone, the matter is small, and the life is gone. ”

“...... I see. Xie Qin let out a sigh of relief, it was really an eye-opener today.

Xu Huan said: "The information we are going to buy, that is, the level of pairs and straights." ”

As he spoke, Taizhong had already driven to the vicinity of Wuyi Park and stopped in the area of Songshan Street.

"It's here. Xu Huan pointed to a residential building and said to Xie Qin, "This is the mahjong house." ”

Xie Qin saw that the first and second floors of the residential building had been renovated, but it had been some years, and there was a signboard on the wall on the second floor, with three big characters on it: Mahjong House.

Xie Qin was a little surprised, he thought it was a luxuriously decorated place when he heard Xu Huan say it was so lively just now, but he didn't expect the deity to be in the downtown area, and it was amazingly simple, it was simply a perfect interpretation of the great hidden in the city.

Tang Zhong said: "I'll be waiting for the two of you in the car." ”

"Okay, thank you. Xu Huan nodded.

Although it was only a few dozen steps away from the destination, Xu Huan still didn't dare to be careless, greeted Xie Qin, and the two of them covered their heads tightly before getting out of the car.

In front of the mahjong room, there is a thick army-green curtain, which looks like a black Internet café. Lifting the door curtain, a thick smell of smoke came to the nostrils, pushing the two of them up.

Because of the lack of ventilation, the room was very stuffy, and the smell of smoke was sour, comparable to smog.

There are dozens of square tables, a table for four people, and a large group of people are fighting in full swing, and the sound of shouting and shouting is everywhere.

Xu Huan went straight to the counter and said to the receptionist behind the stage: "I want a plate of 'Shanhai Bureau'." ”

The receptionist suddenly showed an expression of surprise, was stunned for a few seconds, and said to Xu Huan: "You wait a minute." He walked out of the counter, opened the door to the back room, and shouted inside, "It's coming!"

"What?" Xie Qin looked at Xu Huan suspiciously.

Xu Huan said in a low voice: "That's what the guest meant." ”

After a while, the receptionist returned to the counter, looked at Xie Qin, and asked Xu Huan, "......Who is this?"

Xu Huan said: "Together." ”

"Understood," the receptionist nodded and said, "Please wait in the private room on the second floor, and you will be there in a moment." He turned to shout at a waiter, "Xiao Liu, take two guests upstairs!"

When Xiao Liu heard this, he walked over quickly and said to the two: "Two guests come with me." ”

Xiao Liu led Xie Qin and Xu Huan to the second floor, sat down in a private room, served tea to the two, and asked them to wait for a while before leaving.

The layout of the room is very simple, a square table, four stools, and four small tables behind the four stools, which are used to put tea.

Xie Qin and Xu Huan waited for a while, and then they heard a knock on the door, knock knock, a total of three sounds.
