Chapter Eighty-Five: Making Playing Cards

Along the way, Ding Yiyi and Ding Dashan Cuilian chatted, took a nap, looked out the window, and didn't feel too bored, and I still thought it was very interesting to go out on the first day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

When it was almost dark, they finally arrived at a small town, the convoy stopped and repaired, and today they were going to live in this inn in the town called Sifang Inn, which is the largest inn in the town, and Ye Yunlan went out to do business and stayed in this inn in this town.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, Ding Yiyi immediately pulled Bai Jinxuan, Bai Jinyu and Ye Yunlan went to find a carpenter's shop, because Ye Yunlan often went out to do business, so he was no stranger to this town, and after inquiring about the shopkeeper of the inn where he lived, a few people went to the carpenter's shop.

"Yiyi, what are you doing with the carpenter's shop? What are you going to do? Bai Jinxuan asked curiously, although he is the oldest here, but he is a child, Bai Jinyu is the kind of person who feels warm but is not good at words, and Ye Yunlan is a lonely and tall person, so every time he asks questions first.

"Make something fun and you're guaranteed to like it." Ding Yiyi said with a mysterious face.

"Oh? Is it? So how long will it take for us to wait? Bai Jinyu was also interested, and asked with a smile on her face, they don't have much time to stay in the town, and they have to leave tomorrow!

"We made an appointment with the carpenter, and we can have someone come and pick it up before we leave tomorrow morning." However, they have to do the follow-up work themselves, and it would be good if the carpenter could process the semi-finished product.

When they found the carpenter's shop in the town, the door of the shop was not yet closed, and when the man saw someone entering, he immediately greeted him, and said with a smile on his face, "What do you want to do?" ”

"I want to make something with him." Ding Yiyi said.

"Oh! Then wait a minute, I'll call the shopkeeper over. With that, the man ran to the back.

After a while, a middle-aged man came out from behind, the man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and said in a rough voice: "I am the shopkeeper of this shop and a carpenter, may I ask what you want to do?" As long as it's not too hard, I can do it. ”

"I want to make a deck of wooden cards, thin, half the size of a palm, to be rectangular, twice the length of the width, a total of fifty-four pieces, how long can it be done?" Ding Yiyi asked after describing a rough idea.

"It's as simple as that?" The shopkeeper looked at her suspiciously, just talk to the guy so simply, and it will be done in a while.

"Oh! If you can, two of them are engraved with the words "big king" and "little king". Ding Yiyi said, and then added: "One is engraved with the king, and the other is engraved with the little king, don't be mistaken." ”

"Yes, you don't have to engrave any other cards?" The shopkeeper still didn't quite understand what these sons wanted some wooden blocks for.

"Can you engrave all the numbers on it? Each one is engraved with two numbers, one at two opposite corners, and each one is engraved with a pattern. Ding Yiyi felt that it was appropriate to let the carpenter do these things, and he didn't know when he would carve them.

"Yes, could you please tell us more about the number and pattern engraved?" The shopkeeper nodded and said.

"Is there any paper, I'll draw it, I can't say clearly." Ding Yiyi asked.

"Yes, buddy, bring pen and paper." The shopkeeper immediately told the man to get a pen and paper.

The man brought a pen and paper and put it on a table, Ding Yiyi sat on a stool and draw, first drew Arabic numerals from one to thirteen, and then drew a spade, a plum blossom, Ding Yiyi drew another spade, but this spade is hollow, and drew a square piece, and the color was also marked next to it, and black was written next to the spade and the plum blossom, and red was written on the square and the hollow spade.

Several people looked at the numbers and graphics she had drawn and had never seen them, and they were all a little curious, Bai Jinxuan opened his mouth and asked, "Yiyi, what are you drawing?" ”

"I'll tell you when I'm done, these are the numbers I saw in books, not from our country." Ding Yiyi raised his head and pointed to the Arabic numerals on the paper and said: "A total of four sets from this number to this number, each set is engraved with a different pattern, I marked the color, this hollow spade can be made into a solid one, but it should be red, and the square piece should also be red." ”

"Hmmm! Yes, you can come and get it tomorrow afternoon! "The shopkeeper looks very simple, and it can be done in half a day.

"How many taels of silver do you need to make it? By the way, I want you the best wood. Ding Yiyi asked.

"Ten taels of silver." The shopkeeper touched it and said.

"It's thirty taels, can you hurry up and do it? We're leaving tomorrow morning and can't wait until the afternoon. Ding Yiyi took out thirty taels of silver from his purse and put it on the table.

"Okay, let's do more in the evening, you can come and get it tomorrow morning." The shopkeeper looked at the silver and said.

"Then we said okay, we'll come and get it tomorrow." Ding Yiyi said that after that, he went back to the inn with the remaining three, many shops were closed along the way, and the town was relatively small, so there was nothing to visit at night.

Back at the inn, Ding Dashan was waiting for them to come back for dinner: "Where did you go, I asked the shopkeeper just now that he said that you went to find the carpenter in the town, why did you go for so long?" ”

"We went to the carpenter to make a wooden sign, and we had to make a carriage for more than a month, and it was too boring to be in the carriage, so we found something to do." Ding Yiyi said to Ding Dashan with a smile.

"Oh! Hungry, man, serve. Ding Dashan shouted.

The guy immediately went to the kitchen to serve the food, and after a while, four cold dishes were served, and several people sat down on the table to eat.

Ding Yiyi looked around, but didn't see Cuilian, so she couldn't help asking, "Dad, where is Cuilian?" Why can't you see her? ”

Ding Dashan looked at Ding Yiyi and said, "I'll let her eat first, I'll wait for you if you don't come back, Cuilian is in the guest room upstairs." ”

"Oh! That's fine, it's too late to come back if you're not careful, let's eat quickly! Ding Yiyi said that he would start eating again.

The guy brought a few more plates of hot dishes, which Ding Dashan had ordered before they came back.

After eating, Ding Yiyi asked someone to boil hot water, took a simple bath in the room, and after a day's journey, his waist hurt a little from the bumps in the carriage.

After taking a shower and changing into pajamas, Ding Yiyi lay on the bed, maybe she was too tired, she didn't talk to Cuilian much and fell asleep, Cuilian saw that the young lady was already asleep, and she also took off her clothes and slept.

There are two guards outside the inn who are keeping vigil, and the dart bureau has also sent two people to keep vigil, so there is no need to worry about danger, not to mention that they don't have any enemies.
