The locust plague has entered its final stage, but it is still a heavy and severe workload.

In the past few days, the number of Guanzhong people who have flocked to the outside of Chang'an City has reached 200,000, and the work of treating them is very serious.

On the avenue of non-stop delivery of materials to Chang'an, there are crowds everywhere, and there is a lot of scolding, and the materials in Chang'an City are now facing the dilemma of reducing because they are constantly being sent to Guanzhong.

Li Er was busy in the dark this time, and the eldest grandson Wuji and the others couldn't spare any time, so Chen Chu was bored first.

"Alas, I really want to go to Sister Jiujiang to play with Sister Luling, but unfortunately I don't know where they live."

Chen Chu sat in the restaurant, sighing, now there are many people in Chang'an City, which makes the situation in the restaurant complicated, and there are people arguing and fighting every day.

Damn, I said you are not idle, you can't invent some games to play if you have nothing to do, just drink and brag, drink and brag, and find someone to get drunk and crazy when you get drunk?

said good anecdotes about the rivers and lakes, and the love of children is long.

, I haven't heard martial arts stories, but I understand the unreasonable troubles of some people who can do a little bit when they get drunk, no, the guys have thrown out several times in a while.

Chen Chu deeply felt the scarcity of **** methods, but unfortunately he was not an old critic, otherwise there was a place in Pingkangfang in the north, which could be regarded as a pastime.

What should I do, I can't just sit still.

"Ding, the system has detected your complaining behavior, and the complaining value is +200."

With the arrival of the complaining value, Chen Chu pulled a guest from out of town: "Brother, don't you usually have anything else to do except drink and brag?" Is there any serious entertainment? ”

"Entertainment?" The triangular-eyed guest smiled: "I heard that there are many and beautiful young ladies in Pingkangfang, do you plan to take us to see and see?" ”

"Anything else?"

"Do you know the owner of this restaurant, that well-known person, Chen Chu? Let me tell you, I have seen his power with my own eyes in Jingyang! ”

This person immediately blew it, God is pitiful, Chen Chu has never been in contact with idle people from beginning to end in Jingyang, this cow blows it for you.

The person next to him was swinging his fist again, looking really naïve, alas, Chen Chu sighed, it seems that the idea of improving the entertainment method of the Tang people is a bit imperative.

If you don't want anything, just don't suffocate yourself.

He thought of many easy and simple ways to entertain him, and he thought of chess for a long time.

Although the history of chess can be traced back a long time, it has not really become popular, and it is still basically an aristocratic sport.

Moreover, the rules of chess at this time are definitely different from those of modern times, not streamlined enough, not lively enough.

Because Chen Chu has been staying in the restaurant for the past few days, Yuzhu came to take care of his daily life.

At this time, she was dressed in a cyan gauze skirt, kneeling behind him and pinching his shoulders, and Chen Chu asked her about chess.

It turns out that the chess that is now popular in the Sui and Tang dynasties originated from the "Xiangjing" of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the rules and regulations are indeed very different from modern times, but it is a bit like chess, Chen Chu frowned when he heard it.

He can't play this, it must be improved, and the people can play the best, there are people playing in the streets and alleys, so won't the entertainment methods of Datang increase.

"Alright, don't pinch it, go buy me a chess deck and come back for me to see."

Chen Chu patted Yuzhu's cold little hand that was gently placed on his shoulder, Yuzhu agreed, and left briskly.

Soon Chen Chu saw a dark yellow chessboard made of Suzhou brocade, as well as some bells and whistles of copper chess pieces.

These chess pieces represent the carriage and horse artillery, all of which are written in the Warring States Period, and the patterns and sculptures on the chess pieces are not the way of chess.

Chen Chu went out directly, found a carpenter in Xinghuafang, and asked him to build a chessboard and chess pieces according to his own requirements.

The chess pieces of chess should be uniform in size, and at the same time, they should be resistant to smashing and collision, because people will play chess very hard when they are excited, just like fighting.

This is not a troublesome matter, and Chen Chu was about to build a hundred paintings in one go, and the carpenter almost knelt down, immediately pushed off all the work, and began to work overtime with his apprentices.

By the evening, the first batch of twenty chess sets had been delivered to the restaurant.

During this time, Chen Chu had already had twenty copies of the rules of playing modern chess.

How to promote this modern chess?

Simple, directly in the restaurant, will play to the reward, play good and then give rewards, simple and trouble-free.

So people were surprised to see that on the twenty tables on the first floor, the dishes and chopsticks were removed, and these wooden chessboards were laid out one by one, and the boxes were neatly stacked with round identical wooden chess pieces.

The shopkeeper shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, our master said, those who can play chess will have a reward, and those who play well will be rewarded twice!" This chess is not another chess, we have our way of playing, and there are instructions on each table for how to play it. ”

At the same time, the reward criteria were posted.

The first 100 people who can play chess will be rewarded with the opportunity to buy rolling paper, and the discount is discounted, usually you need to spend 100 to spend the consistent purchase, today you only need to consume 50 yuan, and the rolling paper will be given a roll for free.

If you play chess well, not only can you buy two rolls of rolling paper, but you will also receive one or two pieces of laundry detergent when the time comes.

With the fermentation of news in the past few days, the reputation of rolling paper and laundry detergent is getting bigger and bigger, and there are many people in demand on the black market, but except for a few lucky people, no one has bought the goods at all.

Many big people scolded people every day for being useless, scolding once in the morning, once at noon, once at night, getting up in the middle of the night and squatting in the pit, and scolding painfully again.

I don't know what this chess thing is, or what is the difference between it and the current chess gameplay of Datang, but it doesn't prevent people from immediately surrounding it.

The people outside the restaurant finally waited for the owner of the restaurant to give the opportunity to give benefits again, and rushed in a swarm, and the whole restaurant was instantly full.

Some lucky people grabbed their seats, happily picked up the manual to check it, and read the rules inside.

"The horse walks the day, the elephant walks the field, the cannon overturns the mountain, and the car goes straight ......"

People keep memorizing the rules, and at first everyone doesn't know what the charm is, just to complete the task of the owner of the restaurant.

Soon they were urged to play.

"Hit the horse, the cannon can fly over!"

Some quick-thinking people opened their mouths to instruct, and when people saw that they could kill other people's chess pieces with the first blow, they were immediately excited, and immediately flew the cannon over and knocked out the opponent's horse.

"Eat his horse, eat, and the cart can go as you please."

Someone instructed him again, and the one who was beaten quickly ate the opponent's cannon.

"If you beat the horse again, you can eat him again."

"If you eat his cannon again, his two cannons will be gone, hahaha."

"Laugh at you, aren't your horses gone?"

People made a commotion, but in addition to that, they kept pushing the soldiers up, you eat me, I eat you.
