Chapter 7 6. Only unexpected, nothing impossible

When it comes to tangential poker, there is one person who has to say—his way of playing makes people helpless.Everyone knows that he can only stare blankly when he is out of money, and there is nothing he can do. Also in the winter, I went to visit a friend in a small town in the area around Qiqihar.When I went there, I drank and slept all day long and ate hot pot. It was really cool for a few days.Everyone there likes to gamble. In winter, if there is nothing to do, they hang out with each other. Gathering together is to gamble, such as Pai Gow, cockfight, fisherman, three-on-one, and red-five.I also go to watch the excitement if I have nothing to do, but I never go to play, and I don’t want to go up to win some money or something.Because I have to go back after a few days.But my friend's brother-in-law likes to gamble, and he often loses to the general.They don't play much, they play thirty or fifty at a time.When I'm free, I hold a small hand stove and stand aside to watch, which is also very interesting.

I don’t know if I don’t look at it, but I’m startled when I see it.Upon closer inspection, they actually used tangent poker that I encountered in the Shenyang Stone Market.I know all the cards because I have seen them before.After they finished fighting that day, I told that friend, and he called his brother-in-law and asked me to beat him.When his brother-in-law first heard it, he was so stupid that he didn't believe what I said.I just let him guess with poker. If I know him, of course I can guess right.Now that kid was also furious, he looked like he was going to fight and kill, and immediately caught the person with the poker.With an innocent expression on his face, the man said that he bought it casually in a store.Went to the store to confront it, and it did.We opened up the other poker in the store, and it was all tangential poker!Ask the owner of the small shop who sold him the poker?Many gamblers will take the practice of selling their old poker in a small shop in advance, and the owner of the small shop insists that it is wholesale.That buddy was not forgiving, so he took the shopkeeper to the wholesale store, and when we went to have a look, we were a little dumbfounded, all the poker in the wholesale store was also tangential poker!

Who sells Tangent Poker to the small town wholesale store?The wholesaler said that all the poker is purchased from the son of Wang Luzi in the town.I don't know Wang Lvzi's real name, I only know his nickname is Wang Lvzi—you can tell from his nickname that this person should be very stubborn.When I first met him, Wang Lvzi was very old, about 60 years old.He was the captain of the production team in his early years, and at that time he was a man of his word.Wang Luzi has been fond of gambling since he was a child, and he was not idle even during the three years of natural disasters.At that time, gambling did not have the same tricks as it does now, and there was only one way to play in the northeastern countryside, commonly known as watching old cards.The so-called old brand is a leaf brand.The name of the leaf card is very vivid. The width of the card is about the same as that of a leaf. The characters in the Water Margin are printed in the middle of the front, and there are various patterns on the upper and lower ends to distinguish them.There are also a variety of ways to play, one way to play in one place.After playing for a long time, you only need to look at the character picture to know what card it is.Now this kind of card is rarely played in the northern rural areas, and it is only played by old men and women, but it is still very popular in the southern rural areas, and basically all girls and daughters-in-law can play it.

In the early years, every winter was the cat winter season in the northern rural areas. Everyone would get together to watch old cards, pay a few cents at a time, and bet on work points if they lost.Wang Lvzi always loses, and then loses impatiently, so he makes buckles with his wife.He was playing on the field, and his wife was watching from the sidelines, and told Wang Luzi what other people and cards they were playing by code.Maybe their code was too conspicuous, and it didn't take long for everyone to decipher it.It is said that they used ten-digit subtraction codes, which they probably created themselves. For example, when they played 8 Suo, his daughter-in-law would say 2 or something to tell Wang Luzi not to play that card.We all know that their husband and wife make buttons, and no one goes to his house to play.But Wang Luzi likes this. If others don't come, he will go to other people's houses to play, and he will not take his wife there.Strange to say, for stinky gamblers, the stinkier they are, the more fun they are.Donkey Wang lost his work points, so he gambled with others on the sweet potatoes and radishes in the cellar. After losing all the sweet potatoes and radishes, he came up with the idea of ​​​​public property of the production team.He was nicknamed Wang Donkey, and it was useless for others to object.Later, he lost almost everything in the production team, leaving only a litter of piglets and an old sow.Donkey Wang, who devoted himself to the gambling table, braved the heavy snow to drive Little Piggy to the town to sell, and came back to continue gambling.For decades, when talking about Donkey Wang, the local people must tell the allusion of selling piglets in the snow.

Later, when the production team disintegrated, Wang Lvzi became a vagrant, his wife ran away with others, and took a son to live.In the early years, he made a living by doing odd jobs for others, because he was good at panning the kang and building the pot, so he didn't have to worry about the source of income.Anyone who has a kang or a pot will look for him.But he has always been good at gambling, and he is still a fool after gambling for decades.The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. His son has inherited his tradition, and he is also a good gambler.I don’t know which year I ran out of town to gamble, because my leg was broken because of a trip, and I was disabled for life, and I walked with a limp. People gave me nicknames: 1.6 meters, 1.7 meters.The reason is that when he walks, he is 1.7 meters tall when his center of gravity is on his good legs, and he becomes 1.6 meters when he takes one step.

He was poor and wanted to change, and after being crippled, he got some lame poker from somewhere, and showed it to Wang Luzi when he went home.Wang Lvzi stared at the poker, and was stunned for a moment—Wang Lvzi seemed to have opened his mind for the first time in decades.After some discussion, the father and son decided to sell the tile-roofed house they had lived in for decades, and the two lived in a bathhouse abandoned by the local army.Not knowing how it worked, they got in touch with all the non-staple food wholesalers nearby, and only wholesaled the poker that his son entered.Presumably, they are sold to wholesalers at cost or at a loss. I guess wholesalers must not know the tricks of these poker.What's more, the poker made by Wang Luzi and his son is very good in workmanship, and it feels good to play. It can imitate various brands of poker, and the quality is top-notch. So within a few years, their father and son have monopolized all the purchase channels of poker in this small town. .What Wang Lvzi and his son sold to wholesalers was Tangent Poker.We went to a few more wholesale outlets, and everyone said in unison—the poker was purchased from Wang Luzi's son.The town is very small, and after such a toss, almost everyone knows about it.

Everyone commented, no wonder Wang Lvzi has made a fortune from gambling recently. Since the large-scale distribution of tangent poker in the town, Wang Lvzi and his son can win money no matter which game they play.In just half a year, the duo has grown up, built a small second floor, dressed up every day, and learned to look for girls.Wang Lvzi's lame son just found a young lady and got married, and he lived happily ever after. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with me, so I didn't want me to see through it.In the end, the matter was left alone, and everyone had nothing to do with Wang Lvzi.Wang Luzi refused to admit that he knew the tricks of poker, and he insisted on dying, which made the scalps of the people who came to ask numb.He didn't buy poker and bring it to the table, what's wrong with recognizing the cards, you can do it if you have the ability.

Like Wang Luzi and his son, in order to win money in the casino, they can think of any method, only you can't think of it, and he can't do it without him.
