In ancient times, there was a mysterious profession, claiming to be the descendant of Guiguzi, selling kitchen knives in the streets. Why don't you charge?

Although this job doesn't accept cash, it will accept some clothes or food, daily necessities and so on. At that time, this profession was called "knife man". They tell others some "predictions" and let others make a living with knives for free. I want to read divination. It's just that they don't collect money on the spot, but wait until their prediction is accurate and come back next time to receive the corresponding reward.

Looking back at history now, it is said that people who bought knives on credit appeared in the Song Dynasty. At that time, they were waiting to "predict the future" to let others live. The reason why they don't accept cash should be related to the national conditions at that time. In ancient times, disputes between countries were often chaotic, and it was very difficult to eat and wear warm clothes. It's no use collecting money. So they made a rule that they only accept things and don't charge money.

When I give you a prophecy, the borrower will let you use his knife for a period of time for free, and will tell you when to get it when I give you the knife. But I am surprised that these people who borrow knives on credit have such a good memory. So many people borrow knives from the street every day, and you can still remember who to ask for knives. It's a super brain!

Credit knife people say they are mysterious because they have a special skill that really feels like predicting the future. This reminds me of my favorite TV series "Nirvana in Fire". The Langya Pavilion can predict the future, right? Their people are divided into different areas, looking for news everywhere and then summarizing it in Langya Pavilion, and finally the owner of the pavilion will study the future.

This can't help but open my eyes. Did all the news of the people in Langya Pavilion come from the person who paid the knife?
