在现实生活当中,人们常把借某种机会向人敲诈勒索的行为称作“敲竹杠”。关于这一俗语的来源,有以下三种说法:第一种:清代末年,市上小额交易以铜钱为单位,店家接钱后便丢在竹杠做的钱筒里,晚上结账时倒出来,谓之“盘钱”。当时上海有家店铺的老板心很黑,陌生顾客进门,往往随意提价。每当伙计接待顾客时,店主敲响竹杠一下,示意提价一成。 In real life, people often refer to “hurling” as an opportunity to extort money from people. On the origin of the saying goes, there are three versions: First: the late Qing Dynasty, the small market transactions in copper as a unit, the shopkeeper lost money in the bamboo bar to do the money in the evening checkout down Out, that's “money ”. At that time, a shop owner in Shanghai heart is very dark, strange customers enter the door, often arbitrary price increases. Whenever the buddy receives the customer, the owner rang the bamboo bar, signaling a 10% price increase.
