No regrets ninety-two

Chapter 348
Lao Jiu is indeed a bastard.

As early as when he was a student, he started to hang out on the streets, and he also had a bunch of brothers who hung out with him.

Because he is the ninth among the brothers, everyone calls him the ninth.

Mixing it up, not many people knew his real name.

But speaking of it, he and his brothers belonged to the kind that had no future. Apart from fighting and showing off, they didn't make any economic benefits.

It's really not an option to mess around like this.

When they were in their twenties, Lao Jiu and his brothers began to "retire from the world" because of the pressure of starting a family.

Because he couldn't find a suitable job and liked to play billiards, Lao Jiu opened a billiards room in a shop facing the street.

The billiards room is not big, and there are only 4 small billiard tables in total.

But business is good.

Because it is close to No. [-] Middle School, in addition to the nearby unemployed youths who often play here, many students from No. [-] Middle School are also frequent visitors here.

Generally speaking, places like game halls and billiard rooms where there are mixed unemployed youths tend to be chaotic, and fighting is common.

But Lao Jiu's billiard room doesn't have to worry about this problem.

Even if he has retired, he is still well-known in this area, and he can still control people. Basically, no one dares to make trouble with him.

Therefore, after opening this billiard room, Lao Jiu's small life is still very nourishing.

Although I don't earn much money, it is enough to live a small life.

But things changed a little bit.

Because Lao Jiu talked about a girlfriend.

After talking about his girlfriend, Lao Jiu found that the money was not enough.

How to do it?

Lao Jiu is a person with a lively mind. He found that in terms of making money, the most profitable thing in his billiard room is naturally not collecting table fees, but gambling.

Because of his good game skills, Lao Jiu started to gamble with others.

The gambles are not too big. If you gamble for three or five yuan in one game, and if you gamble for a bigger one, you can bet for ten or eight yuan.

In this way, Lao Jiu found that his income had indeed increased significantly.

However, this situation did not last too long.

The reason is very simple.

Those regular customers who come here to play often, after everyone gets familiar with it, those who are not as skilled as Lao Jiu will not bet with him any more, and if Lao Jiu is not sure, he will not bet with others.

Slowly, his income began to dwindle again.

This is not what is wanted.

then what should we do?

Lao Jiu began to learn to carry the cage, that is, to set up.

If newcomers come to gamble with him, he no longer shows his true level, but gives people hope.

For example, after he wins two or three rounds, he will deliberately lose one round.When we win, we don't win too much, just one or two goals.

In this way, the other party will feel that it is a matter of luck and will not admit defeat.

This is how Li Jianming, a fool who refuses to admit defeat, gets caught up in this way.

For those students in No. [-] Middle School, Lao Jiu is not afraid of their debts.

This is called a monk who can run away but cannot run away from the temple.

In the vicinity of No. [-] Middle School, no one dared not pay back the money owed to him.

Lao Jiu didn't expect that someone would dare to come to his shop to find trouble.

For example today.

Just like that, Wu Xiaozheng brought Li Jianming to Lao Jiu's shop.

Wu Xiaozheng was indeed no stranger to Lao Jiu, he had dealt with him several times in his previous life.

This origin comes from Li Xiangyi, also known as Brother Piao.

The reason for this kind of origin is very simple, because Lao Jiu also graduated from the tenth high school in the cradle of gangsters, and is only two years higher than Li Xiangyi.

Xiangshui is such a big place, the schoolmates who have been in the street, naturally have contacts, and Li Xiangyi is also in the north of the city to help people watch the billiard room, so the relationship is acquainted.

What Wu Xiaozheng can't confirm is whether Lao Jiu and Li Xiangyi have established a deep friendship in this world?
Regardless, Wu Xiaozheng decided to follow his own ideas.

He was not in a hurry to help the second dwarf get back the place, but asked for a platform first, and started playing with the second dwarf.

It's been a long time since I played billiards!
Wu Xiaozheng is no stranger to billiards.

In his previous life, Wu Xiao had played billiards. He also played the not-so-regular American [-]-ball here at Lao Jiu, but he played more of snooker, which became popular later on.

Wu Xiaozheng remembered that snooker should have only become popular in the last two years, and it is only popular in big cities for the time being. In a small place like Xiangshui, it is still a bit difficult to find a place to play snooker.

"Zhenghan, can you play? Would you like me to teach you?"

As soon as he touched his beloved billiard ball, the second dwarf started to pick it up again.

Dare to gamble with an expert like Lao Jiu, the second dwarf is quite confident in his skills.

In his impression, Wu Xiaozheng had never played billiards before, so he immediately wanted to be a teacher.

"How do you play? Scoring points or grabbing the black eight?"

Wu Xiaozheng ignored Li Jianming's tugging.

He is here to help him find a place, so he doesn't have much time to spend here, and he will take his sister home later.

And the reason why he is playing with the second dwarf now is to get familiar with the feel of the ball, after all, he hasn't played for a long time.

In Xiangshui County, there are two popular ways to play this kind of American billiards.

One is to grab the black eight.

The so-called grabbing the black eight means that the two parties who play the ball first set a ball (full color or suit) by kicking off the ball, and then hit their own balls into the pockets. Black [-] wins if he knocks down the pocket or hits Black [-] into the pocket with his own ball.

As for scoring, it's a little more complicated.

Both sides of the confrontation start with the No. 1 ball and hit the target ball into the pocket, or pass the target ball into the pocket. The number of the pocketed ball will be counted as the number of points. Finally, the winners and losers will be compared by adding up the points.

"Let's grab the black eight. You haven't played it before. Let's play with simpler rules first." Li Jianming continued to speak confidently.

Next, he wanted to explain the rules to Wu Xiaozheng.

"Come on, don't talk so much nonsense."

"Fuck, I'm going to beat you until you lose your temper." The second dwarf was angry.

He kicks off.

Wu Xiaozheng saw that the second dwarf was using the most typical violent style of street billiards, using as much force as he could.

This is because I have never played snooker.

Those who have played snooker know that different target balls use different strengths, and "just right" is the best way to play.

This is also the tragedy of billiards in China.

In foreign countries, billiards is a gentleman's sport, but in China it has been reduced to a tool for street gangsters to gamble. This has made Chinese people feel that playing billiards, even professional players, has a feeling of being dishonest for a long time.

Wu Xiaozheng basically knew it in his heart.

The purpose of his playing with Li Jianming was to get familiar with this irregular pool table.

After Li Jianming knocked down two balls into the pocket, he walked up slowly.

At this time, Lao Jiu also came over.

There was a newcomer in the store, and he was a student who was easy to bring a cage. He naturally had to come and observe to see if there was any chance to make money.

It's good to be here, Wu Xiaozheng can't wait for it.
