Chapter 193: Mid-year Entertainment and New Year's Urgency

When the sound of firecrackers gradually stopped, the little ones who couldn't stand it returned to the house to sleep with regrets, the performance on the stage was still the same, and the people who came to watch were roasting the fire.

The descendants of the Zhang and Wang families should sleep and sleep, they should be busy, and the adults set up the table, put the mahjong on the table and start playing cards, this kind of entertainment has been popular in the entire Tang Dynasty since Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan proposed it to their families.

In the process of entertainment, it naturally became a new gambling tool, and the restaurant opened by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also became popular under such circumstances.

Adhering to the convention of no size above the casino, several mahjong masters brought by Liu Zhirou began to earn money from Zhang and Wang according to Liu Zhirou's instructions.

Thirteen cards of poor Hu play, the rules are also simple, not counting, only hanging, Zhang Zhong only took a short half an hour to lose to the Ministry of Industry sent by the people of two thousand money, master, Zhang Zhong finally met the master, three people beat him one.

The Zhang family can't look down on this money, Zhang Xiaobao knows that his father is usually busy and has no time to spend energy on such things, as long as he is happy, it is nothing to lose some money.

But Liu Zhirou seemed to feel that he had won less, and he didn't know how much money he was going to win at the mahjong table, so he mentioned the basic money again and again, and it became a hundred times, and the three looked at each other, and won more than 1,000 Zhang Zhong in two games, and Zhang Zhong was sweating on his forehead.

The masters of the three ministries of the Ministry of Industry seemed to be not satisfied, and under Liu Zhirou's instructions, Zhang Zhong's opponent suddenly hung up ten gears, it seemed that he wanted to continue to win a lot of money, which had become a gamble for Hongguoguo.

Zhang Xiaobao was still helping to pour water on the side at the beginning, but he was unhappy when he looked at it, why did the taste change when he played?

Old man Bi also noticed Zhang Xiaobao's face, put his mouth to Liu Zhirou's ear and said, "Enough is enough." ”

"This is called a plan, take advantage of the joy to win tens of thousands of more Zhang Zhong, so that you can bargain with the Zhang family." Liu Zhirou didn't know what to think, and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.

Old man Bi shook his head slightly, and said, "That's better than deliberately bullying one person with three people." ”

"Don't be afraid, there is no size above the casino, isn't the Zhang family a master? When the loss is almost over, maybe you can force the master to appear, so that you can meet, and now you can't let Zhang Zhong do it if he doesn't play, and everyone who loses the bet is like this. ”

Liu Zhirou is still proud of her strategy.

"Then I hope you have enough money to lose." Old man Bi said meaningfully, he didn't think that the Zhang family would watch things develop according to Liu Zhirou's ideas, how could there be no master in the mahjong made by others?

Sure enough, Zhang Xiaobao saw that the three bullied his father and got angry, entertainment is entertainment, each with his own ability, the three of them colluded to fight one, so what's the point? If you want money, just say it, why use such means?

When his father ordered another shot and cooked 2,000 yuan, Zhang Xiaobao smiled and leaned over to his nervous father and said, "Dad, the child looks at the itchy hands, why don't you let the child play with the three uncles for a while." ”

Zhang Zhong was also in a hurry to lose, he knew that the three of them were there to help each other, and he really wanted to stop playing, but he never had a chance to leave, and he couldn't be angry, so he could only lose the money in the family again and again.

This move surprised Liu Zhirou, he knows very well the mind of people who lose in betting, and usually loses more and more betting, and it is too difficult to get him out of the gambling table, but he didn't expect Zhang Zhong to give up and give up, and he doesn't care at all, which can be said to be free and easy, and it can also be said to know how to advance and retreat.

What Zhang Xiaobao admires most is also his father's this, it used to be like this, not to fight with the child, not to fight with the daughter-in-law, and to put his position very much, this is the most rare, taking a step back requires more courage and stomach than going further.

As soon as Wang Juan saw that Zhang Xiaobao was sitting in Zhang Zhong's position, he began to feel sad for the three people from the Ministry of Industry who had just come up and bullied people.

She knows best who Zhang Xiaobao is, who is in prison? How many times has Zhang Xiaobao gone back and forth?

Sure enough, Zhang Xiaobao was smiling when he sat down to shuffle the cards, and seemed to be very relaxed, and his little hands were moving there, making people look as if they couldn't play cards.

The opponent is still hanging ten gears, as long as they can win, the people in the three engineering departments even plan to bully the children.

One person thirteen cards caught the hand, Zhang Xiaobao's opponent just won, one more drawn, three people from the Ministry of Industry set up the card back and forth there when the position, Zhang Xiaobao's card did not stand up at all, only with the hand below quickly touched from left to right and smiled and waited for the opponent to play cards.

What does this mean by the fact that the spectators and the three tables were stunned? Don't look at the cards? How do you play that moment? Grab one and then hit it out?

"East wind." Zhang Xiaobao's opponent first played the limelight in his hand, and Zhang Xiaobao's boss was just about to draw cards, Zhang Xiaobao suddenly said: "Don't move, Hu, the peacock flies southeast." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaobao had already taken the opponent's card when others were surprised, and with a bang, his own card stood up, and others didn't know what the peacock was when he flew southeast, and made up the east wind inside.

After the other people saw the cards that were pushed, they were speechless for a while, and it was really Hu, Zhang Xiaobao's opponent was stunned for a moment, and it seemed that he couldn't believe it, just out of a card, two thousand guan was gone.

"It's a pity, there are no rules, otherwise you can win more, continue, come, the three uncles have conceded."

Zhang Xiaobao took the chips representing the money, and said with an innocent smile.

Hiss~! The people of the three engineering departments took a breath at the same time, and their hearts suddenly sudden, master, I met a master today.

Not only them, but also the people who watched found that if Zhang Xiaobao started to stand up the card, he played it to the house, but his card did not stand at all, so he touched it, did he know that the opponent could play this card?

Doubts are questions, the game will continue, Liu Zhirou called a person to his side, and said two words to this person, and this person came to the three people from the Ministry of Engineering, each of whom muttered in their ears, and the three people nodded their heads to indicate that they knew.

This time when the shuffle of the three people deliberately shuffle the cards a few more times, the six big hands can not be the cards to be shuffled, do not let Zhang Xiaobao as just now small hands move, the shuffled cards to push back and forth into their respective hands, Zhang Xiaobao did not care, the small hands are still so unhurried, the smile on the face is not less.

He did it on purpose just now, first give three people a dismount, just use that trick once, surprise it, and then use it to make people find out.

As in the previous game, Xiao Bao didn't look at the cards at all, touched the little hand, and when he was done, he picked out one of the cards and said when he turned it over: "Five." ”

"Bump." I happily took Gojo and typed out another one.

Zhang Xiaobao went to the house to draw cards, played a limelight, Zhang Xiaobao also drew one, and the first card, when he played out, he said: "Three cylinders." ”

"Bump." The other party happily took the card again.

Several times in a row, Zhang Xiaobao's next home has caught a card, the rest of the dry to watch Zhang Xiaobao play cards to the opposite home and the upper house touched, seeing that the upper home and the opposite home of the card is getting less and less, Zhang Xiaobao grabbed a card again, the card was lit up, and said softly: "The word touch, all the same, unfortunately, still can not win more." ”

This time, he hung up ten gears, losing 2,000 for the other family, and 1,000 for the upper and lower families.

Now it's the turn of the three workers to sweat.

"What's going on? Does Xiaobao know what cards others will play? Liu Zhirou thought she had seen a ghost, and muttered in disbelief.

Old man Yao also wondered, it's strange, Zhang Xiaobao doesn't look at the cards at all, even if he wants to send someone to stand behind to report to others, it's useless.

When they can't figure it out, the third game starts again, Zhang Xiaobao is still hanging the highest ten gears, capped, fourteen cards to hand, play out a round, the second round of drawing cards is a dark bar, this bar directly to the hearts of the three Ministry of Workers.

It's over, one person is two thousand gone, this is still good, the dark bar is a point of artillery, if it is according to other rules, then lose more, now you can only according to the same rules as before, try to make this time the card is gone, that is not a bar, yellow card on the yellow bar.

But how is this idea possible? After a few more rounds, Zhang Xiaobao after a clear bar, he also pushed the card and said with a smile: "Hu, the bar is blooming, thank you, thank you." ”

According to the rules, the blossoming on the bar does not double, but even so, the three of them each lost 4,000 yuan, and Zhang Zhong not only won back what he lost just now, but also made a lot of money.

When the four old men hadn't come up with any good solutions, they made several moves in a row, and the result was that the three people from the Ministry of Engineering lost the handles, and no matter how much they tried to make their eyes, it was useless.

After Zhang Xiaobao won another two open bars and a hidden bar in a row, he asked with a smile: "Do the three uncles still play?" You already owe money to change your chips, so it's better to give the money first, or write a note before playing, otherwise, what if you don't admit it? ”

"Xiaobao, a play, picture and fun, what money is not money, taking chips is actually a lead, don't really count money."

Old man Liu wiped his sweat and said to Zhang Xiaobao.

"Huh? Not counted? It seems that someone has already exchanged the money that my father lost just now, and a few flying coins have been directly exchanged for chips. Zhang Xiaobao blinked his eyes and said with a puzzled face.

"Change it back, change it back right away, hurry up and change it." Old man Liu blushed, and after saying to Zhang Xiaobao, he glared at the person next to him again, just now he was afraid that Zhang Zhong would not admit it after losing, so he immediately replaced the winning chips with flying money, and now it has become a lifting stone to shoot himself in the foot.

But he really can't help it, Zhang Xiaobao won at least 30,000 yuan per person in a while, and his opponent lost the most, more than 40,000 yuan, where to get this money?

Zhang Xiaobao nodded helplessly and said: "It's still Grandpa Liu's reasoning, Xiaobao has learned a lot, forget it, a game, why involve so much thought, otherwise, play poker, play smaller, this time it is not allowed to repay, it takes a short time, unlike mahjong to play a game and have to work hard to code cards." ”

Hearing Zhang Xiaobao's words, Old Man Liu hated that there was a crack on the ground for him to get into, but the master didn't appear, and only Xiaobao cleaned up the three people who joined forces, and he made a mistake, a mistake.

Now seeing that Zhang Xiaobao wants to change something to play, the three people from the Ministry of Engineering who have lost shook their heads vigorously, like rattles, they didn't find that they played mahjong for a long time, and many times Zhang Xiaobao won the cards after a few rounds, and he didn't know how to get it.

"Xiaobao, don't bully people, come here to eat." Wang Juan saw that Zhang Xiaobao frightened everyone, so he had to come over and pull Zhang Xiaobao elsewhere, otherwise if he was there, others would not have to continue to entertain.

Zhang Xiaobao also felt boring, the opponent is too faced, even the cards will not be remembered, and will not be disrupted by the exchange of cards back and forth, otherwise, the three cooperate, you just know what the next hole card is and there is no way to stop people from winning, you touch a disrupted rhythm, people will be able to adjust by eating and touching.

Waiting for Zhang Xiaobao to leave the table, Old Man Bi leaned into Old Man Liu's ear and said, "How is it?" Again, you didn't take the money to buy chips first, otherwise the money would be gone. ”

"Master, I didn't expect Xiaobao to be a master of this way, with this ability, the Zhang family doesn't have to do business, let Xiaobao go out to gamble with others, and the money will continue to flow in."

Old man Liu looked at the cards on the table with his eyes, and said softly, he hasn't figured out what is going on yet, it seems that the masters under his command can't do it, and they still have to practice, otherwise they will not be cleaned up to death if they encounter Zhang Xiaobao like this?

The excitement of the thirties gradually faded away, and by the fifth day of the new year, Zhang Zhong didn't care about other places, and Shuzhou began to resume normal work here, and the people began to work hard for the new year.

Not only Shuzhou, but also Luzhou, after the New Year, the sea is still going to sea, and the transport has also begun to organize people to transport goods everywhere.

The fishermen on Qiongzhou Island formed a team of several people to go farther away to catch fish.

The merchant fleet that was going to Luzon also set sail, and this year they were going to go there to hire local people to plant enough white stacks and bring them back to Datang to sell, all because of the cold weather this year, and also because of the large amount of white stacked cloth in various places.

Lighthouses are still built farther away, and any island or reef that can be encountered must be built on it, one to show the way for ships, and the other to indicate the ownership of that place.

On the top of the farthest lighthouse that was built, there were still people guarding it during the Chinese New Year, and the patrol boats also patrolled back and forth at the time of thirty, occasionally stopping to send a blessing to the lighthouse keepers.

When the fifteenth day of the month was about to come, the people guarding the tower on the farthest lighthouse were waiting to eat the Lantern Festival, and the people who took turns looking at the sea with clairvoyance came to watch boredly, thinking that nothing would happen today, and suddenly found that there were several ships on the plane in the distance.

The boat in front is carrying the flag of Datang, and the other ones in the back are not at all flags, it seems that the ship of Datang is running, and the boat behind is chasing, and the chasing ship is not only more than the running boat, but also larger than the running ship.

"Quick, send a signal, someone is bullying our Datang fishing boat, who is tired of it? Notify the patrol quickly. ”

Looking at it, the people guarding the tower reacted and shouted loudly, and the people who took turns resting below woke up at once, hurriedly took out the fireworks in a daze, and also shouted: "Let the fishing boat run here first, fight." ”
