The years when I was an old man

My frank confession was beyond Xiaoshi's expectations.

She looked at me, shook her head and said:

"This is not fair!"

fair?

I couldn't help laughing again.

This is the thinking of a bully just out of school.

Looking at her, I asked:

"If you say it's fair, let's take the casino in Las Vegas you've been to as an example. The winning rate of the blackjack casino is about 21% higher than that of the players. Do you think this is fair? And those of you in the workplace hand, through calculation, to increase the winning rate, is this fair?"

"How is this unfair? We did this through countless learning experiments!"

"That's right, I was able to make a fortune through learning and experimenting!"

As soon as I said the words, Xiaoshi was visibly stunned.

"You see, you are a professional poker player, playing poker with ordinary people is unfair in itself. It's like letting an NBA team play against your school team. Is this fair?"

Xiaoshi stopped talking.

"So, you can count cards through learning. And I can get out of thousands through learning. Our game is very fair!"

And this kind of sophistry, I still learned it from Master Hong.

When he dumped Liang Xiaoyan, he used this kind of nonsense sophistry.

Xiaoshi was silent for a while, and then said:

"Although, you failed to convince me. But I admit, I lost. I will give you what you want!"

I nodded.

With the help of Xiaoshi, my plan can be said to be half successful.

…………

Jiangyue Guild Hall.

It is one of the famous guild halls in the history of Jinmen.

It is said that there have been many famous actors here.

And the famous southern Beijing opera masters in history have all sung operas here.

Peking Opera has declined in recent years, but many old Jinmen people still like to come here to listen to operas.

Here, there are scattered seats on the stage downstairs, and private rooms upstairs.

However, this kind of box is not a blocking partition.

It is a hollow design, so that each other's boxes can see each other.

The information He Songbai gave me was that as long as Zhou Lin didn't gamble, he would basically come here to listen to plays.

As long as he comes, it must be a box on the second floor.

This night at 08:30, after Lord Hong gave me some make-up.

I pretended to be a rich second generation from Habei Laijin, and came to Jiangyue Hall.

There are not many people listening to the opera, but there are a few people sitting next to our box.

One of them was in his 30s.

He is thin and thin, with a sallow face.

Looking at it, he always looks like he hasn't woken up.

I've seen a picture of this guy, he's the one I want, Zhou Lin.

On the stage, the voice has already been opened.

Master Hong and I didn’t understand Peking opera at all, so we sat in the box and watched it bored.

Zhou Lin seemed to know Peking Opera very well, and applauded from time to time.

At the end of the song, I heard Zhou Lin say to the waiter at the door:

"Come on, send two flower baskets to the stage!"

Sending a flower basket actually means giving a reward.

A flower basket costs 100 yuan, which is regarded as extra income for actors.

As soon as the flower basket was put on, I saw the actress holding a microphone and deliberately said on stage:

"Thank you Boss Zhou for the two flower baskets, and I wish Boss Zhou good fortune. May I ask Boss Zhou, is there any song you want to listen to?"

As soon as the words fell, the guests who were scattered on the stage all turned their heads to look at the box.

At this time, Zhou Lin showed a smug expression on his face.

He was about to speak, and I held on to the railing and looked towards the stage.

Suddenly, I interjected loudly and asked:

"We outsiders don't understand the rules here. Excuse me, if you send a lot of flower baskets, can you order a song?"

The actor replied politely:

"You can put it this way. After the main song, if the boss wants to listen to a short section, he can order it..."

"How many flower baskets are there?"

I asked again.

"Eight!"

the actress replied.

"Then send four groups first, you have worked hard!"

I said politely.

As soon as the words fell, the actor covered his mouth in surprise.

Then, she bowed again and again and kept thanking.

Even everyone in the audience looked up at me.

After all, the audience of this niche art is mostly ordinary people.

It is rare to meet high-rollers, and there are four sets of flower baskets in one shot.

As soon as I gave it away, I immediately stole Zhou Lin's limelight.

Seeing Zhou Lin standing up, holding on to the railing with one hand, and making a sign of six with the other, he said to the stage:

"Come on, I'll send another six groups!"

"it is good!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of applause from the audience.

The friend next to Zhou Lin then said:

"Boss Zhou is arrogant. We can't let outsiders come to our Jinmen guards to steal the limelight, isn't it..."

The service staff under the stage began to carry the flower baskets to the stage.

I smiled lightly, turned to the audience, and said loudly:

"Then I will send ten more groups, I wish all the actors in Jiangyue Guild hall a long journey!"

"Wow!"

There was a burst of exclamation from the audience.

Ten groups is 8000 yuan.

For ordinary families, it may be more than one year's living expenses.

This actress is very good, she hastened to persuade:

"Thank you, boss, but bosses, don't compete. Don't give away any more. I'll sing whatever song you want to hear!"

At this time, Zhou Lin in the box next to him was frowning with a gloomy face.

It can be felt that he is hesitating whether to continue to send more.

Before he could speak, Master Hong also stood up.

He turned to the audience and said loudly:

"Send it, why not give it away? You sing so well, you must give it away. Come on, I'll add another eighteen groups, I wish you all the best!"

As soon as Master Hong finished speaking, the audience immediately exploded.

Even the actresses on stage were a little at a loss.

Zhou Lin next to him was even more speechless.

At this moment, he couldn't help looking at our box.

He was also curious about who Master Hong and I were.

But Master Hong touched me lightly, and muttered in a low voice:

"Give as much as you want, and be generous. Three sets of five sets are not enough cards!"

I smiled wryly in my heart.

People like me from a small town are really not in the same order of magnitude as Master Hong in terms of spending money.

"Excuse me, two bosses, what do you want to hear?"

The actress on stage asked.

"Come and splash water in front of the horse..."

Master Hong said carelessly.

As soon as the words fell, Lord Hong once again became the focus of the audience.

Only this time, everyone's eyes were a little complicated.

The actress bowed slightly and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, boss. I only know Peking Opera, but what you ordered is Errenzhuan..."

Uh?

Master Hong touched his face and muttered:

"This is a bit embarrassing..."

I just realized that Master Hong would also be embarrassed.

"I don't know where the bumpkin came from..."

Dissatisfied ridicule came from the next box.

The person who spoke was Zhou Lin.

But I didn't even look at him.

Sooner or later, I will let him know that even a bumpkin can eat people when he speaks.
