Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Tide Dart Game
"Xiao Jiu, listen to Xiao Ya, are you going to go to the CD?" When he was having breakfast the next morning, Sun Lao suddenly asked him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Mu Xiaojiu nodded, not knowing why Sun Lao asked this.
"Well, I think you don't seem to have much money on you, do you, you still complain from time to time on the road."
"That's right." At the mention of this, Mu Xiaojiu was inevitably a little depressed, "But there is no way, let's take one step at a time." I still have enough money left on me to take a carriage ride to CD. ”
Sun Lao frowned slightly, "You can't do this, a penny is difficult for a hero, and you always have some money on you to meet your needs." If you really want to go to CD, I have a way to make you go to CD without spending money, but you can still make some money. ”
Mu Xiaojiu suddenly became interested, and he couldn't take care of the white porridge in the bowl, and said in a loud voice: "Please also ask Sun Lao for advice." ”
Sun Lao nodded, smiled and said: "Actually, this thing is also simple, many people who go to the rivers and lakes will do it, but you players can't think of it." After dinner, you can go to the dart board and ask. ”
Mu Xiaojiu suddenly realized: "How could I not have thought of such a simple way." ”
"Heh, you people think about practicing martial arts all day long, how can you understand this kind of thing? It's not far from the CD, so there should be a dart going that way, so ask and join the bodyguard team if you have one. Although the dart bureau has its own dart master, they generally do not refuse the entourage of martial arts people, and even give some compensation. After a while, Xiaoya and I will leave the inn directly, but I will keep your room for you, you can rest assured. ”
Mu Xiaojiu looked at Sun Lao's kind face and wanted to say something of thanks, but was stopped by Sun Lao.
"Don't thank me, although my old man is not a martial arts person, he has also dealt with martial arts people, the light skill you taught Xiaoya is a rare martial arts at a glance, if it is true, I may have to go bankrupt to compensate you. What's more, you little guy also has an appetite for me. Sun Lao looked at Mu Xiaojiu with a smile.
Mu Xiaojiu could only nod his head, silently keeping this friendship in his heart.
After breakfast, the time was already two quarters past the hour, and after sending off Sun Laohe and Xiaoya, who was still a little reluctant, Mu Xiaojiu went in the direction of the dart game.
Due to the nature of the business, the dart board generally does not have a closing time, and even if most people are resting, there will always be one or two people waiting in case someone suddenly comes over to discuss business, or a dart master suddenly comes back with a dart cart brought from elsewhere.
So, if you want to go to the dart game, you can do it anytime in twelve hours.
Long before he came out, Mu Xiaojiu had actually thought about it, first go to the dart bureau, talk about the bodyguard and then go shopping for clothes, and take a walk around Dali City by the way.
……
Canglang dart game is the largest and best dart game in Dali City, the success rate of its guards is extremely high, rarely missed, and the reputation is excellent. The boss Liang Haoqi, a native of Dali, once studied art in the Nanyang Barberry School in Henan Province when he was young, and the power of the Yum Divine Whip is not small. In addition, he has a bold temperament and is willing to give, and he can be regarded as a little famous in this Dali City.
And Mu Xiaojiu was standing at the door of the Canglang Dart Bureau at this time, looking at the two mighty stone lions and the plaque with gilded characters written on it, and listened to the eldest brother who showed him the way just now said that this plaque was still given by the Dali royal family, that is, Duan Yu's family.
"I've been watching Childe here for a while, I don't know what's going on?" When Mu Xiaojiu was watching, a young dart master came over at the door of the dart game, frowned and asked, obviously treating Mu Xiaojiu as a person with ulterior motives.
"Well, I'm sorry, I just think the handwriting on this plaque is very beautiful, so I just looked at it for a while, in fact, I wanted to ask, can I go with your dart board." Mu Xiaojiu was a little embarrassed, and he didn't mean to blame the dart master, after all, no matter who he replaced, he wouldn't have any good emotions when he encountered this kind of thing.
The dart master looked Mu Xiaojiu up and down, and shook his head gently, "Please forgive this son, but the dart is not a joke, there may be danger on the road, I look at the appearance of the son, I think he is a scholar, if you intend to go far away, it is better to take the carriage honestly." ”
Mu Xiaojiu was stunned for a moment, and then looked down at his dress.
Well, dressed in white and carrying a hole flute on his body, he does seem to be a bit like a scholar. What's more, just now, I was still staring at other people's plaques in a daze, I'm afraid that ordinary martial arts people can't do this kind of thing, but scholars may still look at other people's plaques because the words on people's plaques are good-looking.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaojiu couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, and hurriedly said: "This brother, I admit that I do look like a scholar now, but I am indeed a person in the martial arts, I am a disciple of Peach Blossom Island in the East China Sea, and I am studying under the Eastern Evil Yellow Medicine Master." If you still don't believe me, let's do two tricks. ”
The young dart master looked at him again, and seemed to be a little unconvinced, but judging by what he said, and said that he could make a move, he would not joke about this kind of thing.
"Okay, then I'll trust you, you can go in and walk through the courtyard by yourself, and you will be able to see the hall, and our head dart should be in the hall by now."
"Uh, it's that simple? I thought I'd have to make a report or something. Mu Xiaojiu muttered lightly.
The young dart master looked at Mu Xiaojiu with a smile and said, "This is a dart game, and it's not a big family's house, they are all heroes, where do you have so many rules." Come on, you can get inside. ”
Mu Xiaojiu thanked him, and then entered the dart game.
When Fang was outside, because there was a stone wall at the door, he couldn't see the inside of the dart game, but now when he came in, Mu Xiaojiu couldn't help but sigh again.
It turned out that as soon as you entered the dart game, it was a courtyard, and the weapon racks on both sides were full of weapons, and there were many people in the courtyard who were practicing martial arts, and they were all strong men.
The dart masters are so diligent in practicing martial arts, and the reason why the dart game guards rarely fail comes out.
However, Mu Xiaojiu also knows that watching others practice martial arts for too long will make people misunderstand, and people may think that you are stealing teachers, and this kind of behavior itself is also very impolite. Therefore, Mu Xiaojiu just glanced at it, and then didn't look at it anymore, but strode directly into the hall in front of him.
I saw that there were five people sitting in the hall, all chatting, and the man with the Chinese face sitting on the Taishi chair in front of him should be Liang Haoqi. And there were two people sitting on his left and right, so I guess it should be a dart master or something.
"In Xiamu Xiaojiu, I have seen Mr. Liang's darthead."
Mu Xiaojiu hugged his fists, saluted the head of the dart head of Mr. Liang, and then reported his intention, "Disciple of Peach Blossom Island, I want to come and go with the dart team of our dart game, I don't know if I can." ”
Mr. Liang was a little stunned at first, obviously he didn't expect Mu Xiaojiu to be so straightforward, but then he laughed, "It turns out that the little brother is a subordinate of Peach Blossom Island, and I have long heard of the name of your master Dongxie, and I have admired it for a long time, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to see it." Since the little brother is a martial artist and a subordinate of the main sect of Huangdao, it is naturally easy to talk about the bodyguard, but I don't know why the little brother wants to dart? ”
Mu Xiaojiu smiled helplessly, "It's not a secret, I want to go to CD in the next thing but I'm shy in my pocket, fortunately, an elder pointed me out, saying that Mr. Liang of the Canglang Dart Bureau is bold and generous, so I came to inquire." ”
Liang Haoqi was slapped by Mu Xiaojiu's fart, and he was still a little happy, although he didn't say it, he inevitably had a good impression of Mu Xiaojiu in his heart.
"I see, the little brother was going to CD, and if I remember correctly, there will be a trip to CD the day after tomorrow. Little brother, you come to the dart game before the day after tomorrow, and I will arrange you into the dart team at that time. As for the honorarium, how much do you want, little brother? ”
Mu Xiaojiu even said that he didn't dare, saying that he would let the chief dart head call the shots.
Liang Hao was polite and polite, and couldn't help but think a little more highly of him, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally set a reward of ten taels of silver for Mu Xiaojiu.
Ten taels of silver may sound like a lot, but in fact, the purchasing power of silver is very strong.
In the game, although it is mainly set in the Song Dynasty, Mongolia and Manchu are set outside, and some changes are made to the names of regions and capitals. But in terms of money, it was unified after combining several dynasties, referring to many dynasties and novels, but it was slightly different from those.
Because in fact, during the Song Dynasty, silver was not a basic currency in circulation, and in the Song Dynasty, the main currency in circulation was copper money, and even iron money was used in some places. Therefore, on the one hand, the psychological factors of the player are estimated, and on the other hand, for comprehensive consideration, the game official finally decided that one or two gold is equal to ten taels of silver is equal to ten copper coins - that is, a currency system of 10,000 copper plates.
So what can you buy for a tael of silver in this game?
Let's put it this way, players can exchange money from reality to enter the game every month, and the monthly amount is two taels of silver, and these two taels of silver will be exchanged for four hundred dollars. Of course, if two pieces of silver are exchanged for 400 yuan, it does not mean that the purchasing power is only 400 yuan.
In fact, like Mu Xiaojiu's dinner at the Little Drunken Shrimp Restaurant, a Biluo shrimp, a snowflake crab bucket, a Suzhou braised duck and a pot of Biguang wine, it only cost less than half a tael of silver. And the small drunken shrimp restaurant in Suzhou can be regarded as a place with high consumption, if you go to an ordinary small shop, order three snacks at random, and then a pot of ordinary wine, it may not be used for two hundred copper coins.
Therefore, the reward that Liang Haoqi set for Mu Xiaojiu is actually very sincere.
Therefore, after chatting a little more about the details, Mu Xiaojiu said goodbye with satisfaction and went out to buy clothes.
