Lu Tao didn't usually play mahjong and especially didn't like to watch other people play, so when he saw He Ying and the others taking their positions, he smiled and said goodbye to Zhou Youliang and the others.
Unexpectedly, when he was about to open the door and go back in, He Ying suddenly stopped playing mahjong and turned to look at him. She said in a commanding tone, "Little Lu, stay here obediently and serve us well. Go, go to the kitchen and boil a pot of water and make a cup of tea for everyone at the table. The tea leaves are in the disinfection cabinet. After you've made the tea, bring a stool and sit next to me and wait for my orders. "
Zhou Youliang didn't want him to leave right away, so he said with a smile, "Little Lu, you can watch us play. We won't play too late, we'll leave at 11 at most. Little Ying's mahjong skills aren't good, she loses every time. Your IQ and EQ are quite high, so you should be good at mahjong. Sit next to Little Ying and give her some pointers! "
He Ying was unhappy when she heard this, so she pouted and said, "Uncle, why does your words sound so weird? You said that Little Lu has a high IQ and EQ, so you want him to give me pointers. Are you implying that my IQ and EQ are low? "
Zhou Youliang was stunned for a moment, then he raised his head and laughed. He apologized as he laughed, "Little Ying, I'm being indirect. You're right, I should apologize to you. But I'm not saying that your IQ and EQ are low. On the contrary, I think your IQ and EQ are quite high. It's just that every time you play mahjong, you're a bit absent-minded and don't care about winning or losing, so you always lose more than you win. I let Little Lu sit next to you to give you pointers because I want him to help you remember the tiles and analyze the situation at the table. Don't go shooting randomly, it's out of good intentions! Hahaha! "
Lu Tao saw that Zhou Youliang and He Ying wanted him to stay, so he couldn't leave, so he went to the kitchen to boil a pot of water and made a cup of tea for the four of them. He then moved a stool next to He Ying and began to "guide" her in mahjong.
Just as Zhou Youliang had said, He Ying was very casual when it came to playing mahjong. She did not pay attention to what tiles the others were playing, nor did she analyze which tiles might be used for shooting. She only stared at the tiles in her hand. She kept the useful tiles and threw away the useless ones. Lu Tao sat beside her for half an hour, and she only lit three small cannons and one big cannons.
Although Lu Tao didn't like playing mahjong, he had learned it since he was a child. Moreover, because he was smart, had a strong understanding, and had a very good memory, his mahjong skills were actually very good. Occasionally, when he played mahjong with his colleagues at work, he won almost every time.
In addition, he had a special skill. If he played mahjong with his hands, he would remember the specific position of every tile that he had shuffled. He could also remember the positions of the tiles that he had noticed when the other three players were laying their tiles. And this ability of his was not 'cheating', but relying on his amazing observation skills and memory to achieve it ….
Now, when he saw that He Ying was always' shooting cannons' and lost 40 to 50 yuan in half an hour, he decided to use his special skill to help her.
So, he smiled and said to He Ying, "Commissar He, this is not how you play mahjong. Why don't I help you pick a few tiles?"
"Pick a tile" was the dialect used to play mahjong in Taolin. It meant "playing for someone else."
He Ying turned to look at him and raised her eyebrows. "Go away, why do I need you to pick a tile? What other way is there to play mahjong? Isn't it just grabbing tiles and playing tiles? Winning or losing money depends on luck. There's no skill involved. Why do I need you to nag? "
Lu Tao saw that He Ying was so stubborn that he didn't dare to ask her to pick the soil again. Coincidentally, He Ying chose Zhou Youliang's "Big Cannon", so he began to secretly observe the position of each card on the table when the people shuffled the cards.
For the next hand, He Ying grabbed five pairs of tiles in her hand. As long as she got one more pair, she would be able to play the 'small seven pair'.
At that time, there were three unpaired tiles in front of He Ying. They were Wushu, Eight-Circle, and One-Chick. When it was He Ying's turn to pick a tile, she grabbed an eighty thousand. He Ying casually looked at the table and saw that there were already two eighty thousand on the table. She wanted to throw the eighty thousand card out.
Lu Tao hurriedly stopped her in a low voice. "Commissar He, you can't play this tile. Can you listen to me for once?"
He Ying grabbed the eighty thousand card and looked at him suspiciously. She asked, "Why can't I play it? Now that I'm 'Three Touch One', there are already two eighty thousand cards on the table. If any of the three of them have an eighty thousand card in hand, this card can't be matched. It's a bad card. Are you trying to get me into trouble? "
Lu Tao smiled and said, "You don't care about winning or losing. Why don't you trust me for once? Listen to me. Throw the One-Chick out and leave the eighty thousand. "
Seeing that he was so confident, He Ying doubtfully left the eighty thousand card and threw the One-Chick out.
When it was He Ying's turn to pick a tile again, she reached out and grabbed the tile on the table. She turned it over and saw that it was an eighty thousand card.
This time, He Ying was a little dumbfounded. She turned to look at Lu Tao with an expression of disbelief.
Lu Tao smiled and shushed her, indicating that she should not make a fuss. Then he said in a low voice, "Throw the Wushu out and leave the Eight-Circle."
Zhou Youliang and the others heard the two of them say all the tiles in their hands as if there was no one else around. They were not afraid of revealing the 'secret of heaven'. They all thought it was a little funny. Li Tao said in a teasing tone, "Handsome little brother, we all heard what you said. Is it the 'small seven pair'? Do you think we will still play the firecrackers? "
He Ying did not believe that Lu Tao would be so amazing. But since he said to throw the Wushu out and leave the Eight-Circle, there was no harm in testing it again. So she did as she was told.
When it was He Ying's turn to pick a tile again, she first turned to look at Lu Tao. Then she reached out her slender jade hand and easily grabbed the tile on the table. When she looked at it, her eyes immediately widened. This tile was indeed the Eight-Circle.
After a moment of shock, she pushed the tiles in front of her on the table like a child and shouted excitedly, "Small seven pair, Small seven pair! Hahaha! "
Zhou Youliang and the others also laughed. Zhou Youliang counted the money and gave it to her as he said cheerfully, "Little Ying, you were right to trust me! Little Lu is smart and clever. If he knows how to play mahjong, he must be an expert. You can't go wrong asking him to be your advisor! "
He Ying took the money and turned to Lu Tao with a smile and said, "Your incompetent advisor is not bad. From now on, continue to be my advisor. I want to see how good you are."
So, in the next hour, Lu Tao used his special skills to guide He Ying to play six or seven consecutive rounds of tiles. He even received a few 'small firecrackers'. This allowed He Ying to win back all the money she had lost and even made a profit of more than fifty yuan.
Although He Ying didn't care about winning or losing, everyone who played mahjong had a competitive spirit. Now that Lu Tao had guided her to turn the tables around, she was so happy that her eyebrows danced. When she got another "all in one color", she couldn't help but reach her left hand under the mahjong tablecloth and pat Lu Tao's right palm lightly to show her appreciation.
