Lost and Spy

Chapter 92 Japanese Mahjong
No wonder Master Meng asked himself the difference between Japanese Mahjong and Chinese Mahjong early this morning.

It turned out that I had been thinking of playing mahjong for a long time, huh?
His Master Meng's heart was too big, he completed the task, ate his meal, and left quickly.

What kind of mahjong are you playing?

Li Liangde frowned.

Matsudaira Ino was elated.

He plays mahjong well, wins more and loses less, and is very addicted. If he doesn't play for a day, he feels sad all over.

Recently, because his father was not around, Ino Matsudaira was extravagant, and he had spent more than half of this year's funds for the secret service.

What if he still has headaches for the remaining months.

This time, in order to buy information, he sent [-] yen, which made him feel distressed.

Now "Cheng Yinju" agrees to play mahjong?

That's great.

Maybe with 2 yuan, you can win half of it back.

At that time, after eating hastily, Songping Yinan couldn't wait to bring Meng Shaoyuan and Li Liangde to the mahjong table, and called another named Yamamura Qingyi to accompany him to play.

Li Liangde originally wanted to find an excuse to get away, but he had promised Meng Shaoyuan before that no matter what bizarre thing he proposed, he would do it.

"What kind of people who have been secret agents for a long time have not met?"

Thinking of what he said yesterday, Li Liangde could not wait to slap himself.

How could he have thought that Young Master Meng would play mahjong?

"Japanese Mahjong? I can't." Meng Shaoyuan frowned.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's similar to Chinese Mahjong."

The boy Song Pingyi was afraid of losing this Ma friend, so he hurriedly said: "It's just that the name of the fan number and the algorithm are different. Mr. Li often fights with us, and he will help you calculate it."

"That's fine."

Meng Shaoyuan sat down with some doubts.

Japan is one of the first countries to learn about mahjong. It has a history of over a hundred years from the introduction of mahjong in the early [-]th century to the time of Meng Shaoyuan. However, mahjong in my country has been neglected for a period of time, so the actual development history It is not much better than Japanese Mahjong, and it can even be said to be the same.

The first time Japanese nationals recognized mahjong was in 1909, when it was brought back from Sichuan by Japanese English teacher Nagawa Hikosaku.

Naikawa Hikosaku graduated from the English Department of the University of Tokyo. The famous writer Natsume Soseki also served as his instructor. After graduation, Naikawa went to teach in Sichuan, China as an English teacher, and he became interested in mahjong during this period.

Naikawa brought a pair of mahjong with him when he returned to China, and then taught the rules and gameplay to the students when he served as a tutor in a Japanese middle school. In the same year, Natsume Soseki also mentioned mahjong in his novels published by his s. Mahjong is from this time. began to take root in the island nation.

But mahjong did not become popular in Japan immediately, only the upper class and literati were playing, and the real popular period was after the Great Kanto Earthquake.

Japan officially began to introduce mahjong tiles and began to sell mahjong-related books. A large number of mahjong halls with Chinese-style decorations have appeared all over the country. Even some popular songs are related to mahjong. The Mahjong League was established to actively carry out Mahjong competitions across the country, and its limelight even overshadowed various national chess and card games in Japan.

As soon as he sat on the mahjong table, Songping Yinan suddenly seemed to be a different person, his eyes lit up.

Playing mahjong is very big, 100 yuan.

Japanese mahjong does not allow farts, and the biggest difference from Chinese mahjong is:

The number of tiles in each house is arbitrary. You can build more or less tiles in a newly shuffled deck. The Japanese reason is "If you build the same number of tiles every time, then It's easy to cheat."

"Play north first, don't regret it!"

Matsudaira Yinan played a North Wind, and then muttered to himself: "It's really fun to play mahjong, no matter what, it's the fault of politics."

What, is this a Japanese term for Mahjong?

After playing a few cards, Meng Shaoyuan played a second barrel, and Songping Yinan suddenly called out, "Wait, let go!"

He pushed the card forward: "Three colors are the same, two times."

Meng Shaoyuan looked at it: "Three suits with the same number of straights are called three-color straights?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Cheng."

Songping Yinan triumphantly said: "Second Fan, two hundred yuan, I'm sorry."

"Small idea."

Meng Shaoyuan gave two hundred yuan without caring at all.

"Chunquan is united, blooming on the ridge, and five."

"All in all, six."

Then I heard the sound of Songping Yinan, Yamamura Keiichi and Li Liangde playing cards.

Forget it, Matsudaira Ino is the big winner.

Meng Shaoyuan has only played a second round of cards until now.

That [-] yen quickly decreased.

Seeing more and more money piled up in front of him, Matsudaira Ino was overwhelmed with joy.

Great, great.

[-] yen, almost all came back.

"Old bastard, seven pairs, self-touching... Eleven, haha, good luck!"

Songping Yinan screamed, and slapped the mahjong tile hard on the table.

"Good luck."

Meng Shaoyuan muttered, and at first glance, there was not much money left in front of him.

[-] yen, in less than four hours, it was almost a loss.

"Young Master Cheng, you're not feeling very lucky today, why don't you come here first."

Li Liangde said hurriedly.

[-] yen, but public funds, Meng Shaoyuan lost all of it, how to pay when he goes back?

Unexpectedly, Meng Shaoyuan actually made a mistake that every gambler would make:
If you win, you won't give up; if you lose, you won't give up!
I saw him take out a checkbook, scribble down a few numbers, and put it in front of Matsudaira Yino: "Give me another [-] yen, come again!"

"Master Cheng..."

"Lao Li, shut up for me!" Meng Shaoyuan's eyes were red, "Isn't it just a few dollars? I have money in your family, Mr. Cheng!"

Li Liangde was stunned and speechless.

Encountering such a person, Matsudaira Ino had nothing to ask for, so he checked the check, and the serious HSBC banker exchanged glances with Yamamura Keiichi, which meant that he would continue to torture the playboy.

Without hesitation, he handed over [-] yen to Meng Shaoyuan.They also brought some food, and everyone put their stomachs up so that they could continue to fight.

While eating, Meng Shaoyuan murmured: "I have to read the book, 100 yuan is too small, let's make it bigger."

bigger?

Songping Yinan couldn't ask for it: "Then let's double it and double the 200 yuan?"

"No, it's still too small, 500 yuan!"

"300, 300!"

Liliang Dehan came down.

Meng Shaoyuan is crazy, what are you doing with such a big game?
Matsudaira Ino naturally agreed.

Meng Shaoyuan cried out a pity, what do you have to say to Xiaoli, Lao Li?
Is it easy for your young master Meng?

After eating a bowl of noodles, Meng Shaoyuan looked impatient: "Come on, come on, hurry up, let's start!"

Do you want to play mahjong?
You actually have the courage to play mahjong with your master Meng?
Ino Matsudaira, who gave you the courage?
