Just when Hua Taishi was about to give up, a man appeared, this man had changed into a new subordinate costume, and wore a hat on his head, and this hat was also draped in pieces, and this cloth covered half of his own face.

Hua Taishi jumped up from his position excitedly and said, "Wang Hu, you are finally here." ”

Wang Laohu said: "I'm here." Everyone, let everyone wait for a long time, I am a cook in Washington, I just boiled oil, and I came to see Lord Ning, of course, I have to be decent, so I went to take a shower, changed into a new set of clothes, and fried a steak for this foreigner friend by the way. Sister Qiuxiang, please bring it up. ”

Qiu Xiang came out from behind, holding a plate of steak in her hand, a medium-rare steak.

The foreigner saw the steak and said something that everyone didn't understand, and everyone heard the same sound, but Wang Laohu heard some of the meaning.

Wang Laohu is studying in the normal class, this English is relatively deserted, I don't know much, but what I have learned is still in my heart, and he has also been to the United States as an exchange student for two months, and he also has a certain foundation in oral English.

Wang Laohu heard that he was lamenting that he could eat steak in a foreign country.

Wang Laohu stepped forward and said to the foreigner: "Medium well (medium well)." ”

This sentence is the same in everyone's hearts, and it is also a chattering sentence, but everyone understands that Wang Laohu is a person who knows how to communicate with foreigners.

The foreigner nodded, took the fork and knife in his hand, cut a small knife on the steak, put a small piece of steak into his mouth, and chewed it carefully. As he spoke, he said something and chattered, but Wang Laohu didn't understand all of them, but only heard a good (okay) behind him.

Wang Laohu guessed that he was saying that the steak tasted good, so he politely replied, thank you.

King Ning said angrily: "What gossip, the game between the two of you can start." ”

The foreigner said: "Then let's get started." "He spoke very stiff in Chinese, but everyone could understand it.

"So you can speak Chinese." Wang Laohu said.

"It's a bit blunt." Foreigners.

"So what are we competing in this game?" Wang Laohu asked.

The foreigner took a musical instrument and said, "Do you know what kind of instrument it is?" ”

Now everyone heard it clearly, and the question was what kind of instrument was this? Everyone heard the topic clearly, but no one could say it. Wang Laohu said: "This instrument is called a violin, and it has four strings. ”

The foreigner looked at Wang Laohu very strangely, this violin does not know many people, but now this Ming man said it. Wang Laohu said: "Is this the question of the first game?" ”

"Of course not." The foreigner said, "Can you play a tune with this instrument?" ”

"That's the title of the first game?" Wang Laohu asked.

"Yes, if you won't, this game for you

and lost. "Foreigners.

Hua Taishi and the others don't know why, including Tang Bohu, they have never seen such a musical instrument, let alone play it if they haven't seen it.

Qiu Xiang also sweated for Wang Laohu, which is not only related to him alone, but also to the honor of the entire Washington government.

Wang Laohu took the violin, and this piano was bowed.

According to general thinking, this instrument should be similar to the erhu Lafa, but the strings of the erhu and the hu are connected together, and the foreigner and King Ning are going to watch a good show.

Wang Laohu looked at the violin and said: "This instrument is different from our national musical instrument, not only in the posture of the hand, but also in the timbre, there are obvious differences, I studied the guzheng musically, but the violin still has some understanding, so don't worry, Taishi." ”

Hearing Wang Laohu say this, the Taishi was at ease.

"Don't brag so much, you can play it." Ning Wang said.

"Lord Ning, let me first correct your statement, this violin is not called playing, but should be called pulling, playing the violin!" Wang Laohu said.

Wang Laohu put the violin on his shoulder, the bow leaned against the strings, and the violin made a few noises with two squeaks.

Seeing such a situation, the faces of foreigners changed. With such a posture, it is obvious that this person is an expert who can play the violin.

"What is your name? Wang Laohu suddenly asked the foreigner.

The foreigner said: "My name is James. ”

"James, do you think I need to pull it again?"

“Of course。 (Of course)," James replied.

"Okay, then I'll play our Chinese-style love story "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai"." Wang Laohu knows that he is not good at violin, but his brother in the same dormitory as himself in the normal school is an elective violinist, and he usually takes it to play, and Liang Zhu can't play it down, but the most classic self has written it down, and on this occasion, he must give it a try, and he must succeed.

Wang Laohu played it vividly, and with the sound of Wang Laohu's violin, a beautiful picture was shown in front of everyone, the sound was simple and beautiful, like a man and a woman together, telling endless lovesickness.

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and Wang Laohu stopped.

James was stunned, and he couldn't help but applaud Wang Laohu.

Needless to say, Washington won.

Everyone's hanging hearts fell.

Hua Taishi said: "Lord Ning, he is just a cook in our Washington Mansion, he doesn't know what the truth is, if there is anything offended, please don't be surprised." ”

Of course, King Ning got angry.

Half of Wang Laohu's face was covered by a piece of cloth, and others couldn't see his whole picture clearly, but Wang Laohu could see others clearly, and among the people who came with King Ning, he saw a familiarity

This person is Qi Lian.

Wang Laohu covered his face with half a cloth, just for fear of running into an acquaintance on King Ning's side.

King Ning looked at the cook and said, "I didn't expect that in Washington, a cook would have such a powerful skill." I'd love to see your face. ”

Wang Laohu said: "I was born with a birthmark on my face, and I was afraid of scaring everyone, so I covered it with a cloth." ”

"Birthmarks?" King Ning read.

"Lord Ning, you don't have to worry too much about a cook, this first game has already been decided, let's play this bet here, and I don't want the 200,000 yuan." Hua Taishi was afraid that Lord Ning would come to entangle again, so he pretended to be generous.

"If I lose, I lose, and I don't care about the 200,000 yuan. We have to continue this bet, and I want to use my strength to win it back. Ning Wang said.

Hearing King Ning say this, Hua Taishi knew that he couldn't dodge, and after taking the first game, how could the latter let go easily.

"Let's go ahead and play the second game, just with the theme of Qin, let you fool around. Let's take chess as a topic. Ning Wang said.

"With chess as the theme, does King Ning want to play chess, or sing poems for chess?" Hua Taishi asked.

With the ambiguous lesson just now, Hua Taishi felt that it was better to ask the question clearly.

"Thesis study, Tang Bohu is a talent, it will be even better, but I don't believe it, we will win or lose with an endgame today. How is it? ”

"Endgame? It's okay, it's going to be faster. Hua Taishi said.

"Go to chess." Ning Wang said.

I saw King Ning's modern war subordinates holding a chessboard up, covered with a red cloth, and I couldn't see what it was.

The chessboard is placed on a low table.

"Master Hua, who are you from?"

Tang Bohu volunteered: "Taishi, when it comes to poetry and chess, I am not boasting, I can deal with it, and I will deal with this one." ”

"We are contested by Tang Bohu." Hua Taishi said.

King Ning smiled: "James, this game is still yours." ”

James smiled too.

The two sat down at a low table, one left and one right.

A subordinate lifts the red cloth covering the board, revealing a chessboard and chess pieces.

What kind of chess is this? Hua Taishi and Qiu Xiang were stunned again, the black and white chessboard, the chess pieces one by one, like a pattern, with a city wall, a hat, what is this?

Tang Bohu was also dumbfounded, "This, what kind of chess is this?" ”

James laughed: "It's chess, haven't you seen it?" ”

Hua Taishi said: "King Ning, you are out of topic, we should take our own chess." ”

"Taishi, when did we say that we want to play Go or our Ming chess, this chess is also chess, why can't we compete?"

This sentence made Hua Taishi speechless.
