Chapter 1 The advent of billiards

"Young Master, Young Master!"

"What's wrong, Pandan? Why are you so alarmed? You have to remember to keep a calm heart at all times, you see how calm the young master is, hey, Youliang, you lost! Xianglan, you have to remember, if you are not calm, the egg will hurt! ”

"Young man!"

"Oh, sorry, the young master forgot, you don't have an egg on you, and naturally you won't be egghurt! I said Youliang, I've been with you today, why are you reluctant to win even one? ”

"This, Tianyu's chess skills are outstanding, it is obvious to all, of course I don't dare to talk to Tianyu on the same day." It's noisy, Lao Tzu has seen others use this black and white chess piece to play Go in his life, how can you say what kind of bullshit backgammon you said?

"Young master, someone outside the mansion is looking for the young master, saying that he has sent something to the young master."

"Oh? Is it? Is it a man or a woman who delivers something? Uh, don't look at the young master like this, the young master treats everyone equally. By the way, what are the things that are being given to the young master outside? ”

"Xianglan is not very clear, Xianglan also heard the family of the mansion just now, it seems that there are two groups of people, one group of people sent a strange table, and the other group of people sent some strange porcelain balls. Now both groups are waiting outside the gate. ”

"Oh? Is it? So fast! And it's such a coincidence, they were all delivered. I was worried that it wouldn't be easy to handle. Okay, in that case, I'll go, Youliang, go, and let's go and see those aristocratic gentleman's sports that I have invented. ”

"Okay, Tianyu. Hey, wait for me, Tianyu! "It's noisy, your kid just taught your little maid to stay calm at all times, as far as your kid's behavior just now, it's really not as good as your little maid's Yicheng.

It turns out that today is the day that our Li Tianyu booked the delivery of his snooker billiards that day. In other words, our Li Tianyu has returned to his usual appearance since he came back from outside yesterday. It's just that when he asked his mother about the situation of his uncle at dinner yesterday, he learned that he had an uncle, and his uncle had now inherited the family's property and lived in Jinling with his grandfather and grandmother. My uncle's family has two children, a boy and a girl, which is the same as the situation of my mother's generation. The so-called cousin is only two years older than Li Tianyu, very similar to her mother when she was young, and now she has already become a talented girl in Jinling. As for that cousin, he is only twelve or thirteen years old now, but whether it is his grandparents or uncles at home, he can be spoiled. After all, as the son of the Cui family's mother, he is precious. And yesterday, when Li Tianyu left the Li Mansion, Li's mother had just received a letter from the Jinling family, saying that this cousin was coming to Yangzhou and his aunt would come to see the family for him. However, Li Tianyu already understood from his mother's eyes that this was not the case, it should be that this guy probably didn't want to be stuck at home and wanted to come to Yangzhou to have fun. Anyway, the communication in these years is really underdeveloped, and the letter has not been as fast as anyone has come, if it is in the future, a text message will be sent and received in seconds. In this way, it seems that yesterday's crazy little friend should be my uncle's demon king. This little P child, when he first arrived in Yangzhou, knew that he would be happy outside for a few days alone. And perhaps the epistle was postponed by his role, so as to buy himself some time to be out there. Wow, it's worthy of the genes of my mother's family, so should I reconsider taking him in? Looking at his boy's temperament, he is quite promising.

"Hello young master!"

"Hello young master!"

"Hello comrades!"

"Li Gongzi, we sent you what you wanted."

"Li Gongzi, we also sent the table you ordered."

"Well, that's good. Then ask the two bosses to send my things into the house quickly. Li Tianyu saw two carriages parked in front of the gate, but the billiard table he customized was already on the ground, and at a glance, it was no different from the billiard table in later generations, which made Li Tianyu's mood surging.

So under the leadership of Li Tianyu, the two bosses commanded the staff they brought over to lift Li Tianyu's Tianyu snooker billiards supporting facilities into Li Tianyu's one-acre and three-point land. Along the way, it also attracted the attention of many families and maids. Anyway, why did the Li Mansion buy such a strange table again, and it seems that the young master bought it privately.

"That's it for the table. Let the porcelain balls be placed on this table. Thank you to the two bosses! ”

"Where, where, Li Gongzi is polite! It is already a blessing for the old man to be able to enter the Li Mansion in person. ”

"Yes, yes. Li Gongzi is polite! ”

"The two bosses are serious, Xianglan, you go and take out the silver ticket in the drawer of the young master's house."

"Yes, young master!"

"Li Gongzi, the old man took the liberty to ask, this strange table made by Li Gongzi dared to ask if it was used with these porcelain balls fired by this boss."

"Yes, it's a match. The hole in the table is used to hold these porcelain balls. However, Tianyu still asked the two bosses not to tell outsiders about Tianyu's today. ”

After that, Li Tianyu had already put his hand on his "Tianyu Snooker Billiard Table". It's noisy, this feel is much better than those pool tables in later generations, and the slot under the table where the balls are placed is also made of wood. It seems that the club is also made of high-quality wood, as for whether it is peach wood or locust wood or poplar, our Li Tianyu is not very clear. As for these porcelain balls, they have also been marked with numbers from 1 to 15 in accordance with Li Tianyu's previous instructions, and the colors have also been made into eight or nine without leaving ten, but the big balls really did not achieve color interval. However, the texture of these porcelain balls is not as good as those of later generations, but they should barely be playable.

"That's natural."

"It should be according to the rules of the trade."

"Tianyu, I seem to understand something about all these things you have, but I don't understand them so well."

"Youliang, you and I will operate these things ourselves in a while. Then you will understand the true meaning. You'll never want to put it down. ”

"Really?" After Chen Youliang listened to what Li Tianyu said, he obviously didn't believe it very much, after all, Li Tianyu was used to bragging in front of him.

"Young master, the silver ticket you ordered to take!" saw Xianglan holding a stack of silver tickets in her hand and handing it to Li Tianyu. So many silver tickets were called by the people next to them, even including Chen Youliang.

"Oh. The two bosses, I don't know how much they should be paid this time? ”

"Where, it's already an honor for the old man to be able to do things for Li Gongzi, and besides, the old man has already received a deposit of fifty taels from Li Gongzi last time. How dare you collect Li Gongzi's money? ”

"Eh~ One yard to one yard, this time it is not easy for you to personally transport it to the Li Mansion for me, so this labor fee still has to be calculated separately. And I can't ask these strong men to work hard for me in vain. Oh, uncle, please accept this one hundred taels. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, Li Gongzi, the old man really doesn't dare, the old man only collected fifty taels after helping Li Gongzi do the whole set, how dare he accept so much from Li Gongzi now."

"Okay, okay, Tianyu, I don't think you can give this uncle another fifty taels. This uncle is actually the same as you, and he also regards money as dung, right, uncle? ”

"Well, the old man made Childe laugh. But fifty taels can't be, the old man didn't do much for Li Gongzi before and after, and he didn't get any merit. ”

"Uncle, let's rely on our own skills to eat, and there is nothing to worry about. Besides, uncle, your craftsmanship, I don't think it's inferior to that Luban, let alone fifty taels, even five hundred taels are worth it. If the uncle shirks it again, then I will have to pay the uncle five hundred taels. ”

It is the simple working people who are the most amiable and amiable. As a master of a certain industry, it should be like this, not only to have superb skills, but also to have a kind and simple heart. Yaxingda, Lao Tzu is the most disdainful of honest people and suffers losses for themselves.

The old man thanked Li Gongzi for his love and accepted it cheekily. As long as he has anything to do, if he still needs to do it, he will do his best for his son. ”

"Uncle is polite. This boss, how much do we have these porcelain balls? ”

"Back to Li Gongzi, if you want these porcelain balls, fifty taels is enough!"

The boss of this official kiln had been watching the conversation between Li Tianyu and the carpenter boss from the side, and thought that the place where he was now was the mansion of the governor of Jiangsu, so he didn't dare to open the lion's mouth to Li Tianyu, and even said a price that made him swallow blood.

"What? Five~ten taels? Seeing that Li Tianyu hadn't reacted yet, Chen Youliang next to him shouted in surprise.

"This, Li Gongzi, these porcelain balls themselves are made with the best materials, and the cost is relatively high. But since it's made for Li Gongzi, then just charge you thirty taels. After the boss heard Chen Youliang's surprise on the side, he didn't dare to call himself old anymore, and he also said a price that made him want to cry and dry, at this moment, his heart was not dripping blood, but bleeding.

"Three ~ ten taels? No, I said boss, why a few days ago, the porcelain vases that my father took from the kiln were already three hundred taels. These balls aren't as big as the porcelain, but they shouldn't be so cheap. Are you shoddy? ”

"This, I, the small ones are all made with high-quality materials for Li Gongzi."

"Alright, alright. Boss, in fact, Youliang is joking with you. Okay, boss, this is a silver ticket of two hundred taels, you can suffer a loss, let me get some light, and accept the two hundred taels. Don't talk, don't shirk, or I'll never go to you to burn porcelain again." ”

"That Mr. Li, the old man also accepted it cheekily. Thank you Mr. Li. ”

"Okay, you're welcome, boss. Xianglan, wait for the young master to send off the two bosses. ”

"Yes, young master, the slave obeys. Two bosses please! ”

"Then Mr. Li, the old man has resigned!"

"Farewell, Master Li!"

"Slow down two!"

So just like that, our Li Tianyu sent the two bosses away. Seeing that the two bosses had just disappeared from Li Tianyu's courtyard, Li Tianyu was so excited that he almost jumped up, and then stroked around the so-called "Tianyu Snooker Billiards".

"Tianyu, don't be excited. Tell me, what the hell is going on with this thing? ”

"Oh. That, Youliang, you're holding this club. I'll teach you how to play snooker billiards now? ”

"Clubs?"

"Well, you just have to do what I say. Come on, I'll set the ball first. ”

I saw Li Tianyu put those porcelain balls together, put them on one side of the table to form a triangular shape, and then put a white porcelain ball on the other side of the table. After seeing this, Chen Youliang seemed to understand something.

"Tianyu, are you going to poke this porcelain ball with this club?"

"Sou Si Nai. Soitis。 That's right. Look, Youliang, I'll teach you how to use your hands to set up this club first. After that, Li Tianyu put on the posture of putting his butt backwards and flattening the sand and falling geese, and fired the first shot of his billiards career in Zhenguan Datang.

It is said that Li Tianyu has not been beaten for a long time, and his hands have long been itchy. Because these current billiards facilities are not as standard as those of later generations, Li Tianyu still failed to play the complete level of later generations and failed to score a goal in this first shot. But Rao is like this, it's already very good, at least he has spread the ball, and he feels like that.

"See, Youliang? That's how it's played. ”

"Wow, Tianyu, this, this is incredible, isn't it? I don't know how you came up with this? It's noisy, I want to try it too. After Chen Youliang saw Li Tianyu's skillful movements and the pleasure he obtained, he couldn't help but give it a try.

"Okay, Youliang, come, you can give it a try. Remember to hit the cue ball with the cue ball, oh, the white ball, and let the white ball hit the other balls until it hits the holes. ”

"Oh, understood."

So Chen Youliang also began to learn the posture of Li Tianyu before, aiming at the cue ball and starting the first shot of his billiards career in Zhenguan Datang. It's just a pity that he is a novice after all, and he can't compare with Li Tianyu's old bird. As a result, I don't know if this first shot was due to nervousness or something that caused him to accidentally slide the lever and poke the head of the gun into the tablecloth. This scene made Li Tianyu look at it both funny and chilling next to him. It's noisy, the table I just bought back, the tablecloth is still brand new.

"I said Youliang, that's it, you can watch me finish this game first. In this way, it will be good for your Tianyu snooker career and this table and tablecloth. What do you think? ”

"That's fine. Watching more of the masters is indeed improving themselves. However, Tianyu, you must believe that the moment just now was accidental, in fact, I am also a master in this. It's just that I went to bed last night and cooled my arm, so there was the scene just now. ”

"Yes, yes."

Banana, you are a Bara, it's strange that Lao Tzu believes in you. You're still a master, me! This day Yu snooker billiards was just invented by Lao Tzu, except for Lao Tzu, all the people in the entire Datang have never touched this thing. You still want to lie to Lao Tzu that you are a master, and your conscience is very bad. But you are the only person who can play this sport with Lao Tzu, so Lao Tzu will also stage a live version of the teaching video for you. After all, Lao Tzu cultivates you as an opponent, although Lao Tzu knows that you will never become Lao Tzu's opponent.

I saw Li Tianyu pick up his own rod, spread his feet, bow down, aim at the cue ball, and hit his second shot. This shot went in, and it was done without pressure, only to see that the ball went into the hole and slid down the wooden groove with a pleasant sound. Isn't that? Because the number three goal he scored was basically stopped at the edge of the bottom hole before. Chen Youliang on the side was attentive, carefully watching the details of Li Tianyu's every move.

After having the first ball, Li Tianyu was like taking viagra, and he was engrossed in his first game of single-player ball. Even Xianglan, who came back to watch later, didn't notice it. I saw that Li Tianyu was getting more and more comfortable playing, until after the last ball, Li Tianyu was a little hot. It's noisy.,I haven't played it for a long time.,I'm really nostalgic.。

Bang Bang Bang! I saw Chen Youliang, who was watching around, and began to applaud after seeing Li Tianyu finish the last ball. Maybe he sincerely admires Li Tianyu's level of play.

"Tianyu is really skilled, just like me before. It seems that I will be able to find an opponent in the future, and I don't have to worry about being lonely forever. ”

"Young master, you are so powerful!" Xianglan on the side also cheered on the side after seeing her young master finish this game. It was as if she had just played this game.

"Hehe, Youliang has won the award. In fact, I feel that I am still a little bit behind you, and this distance is not ordinarily large, I guess I can be thrown by you to give me nine balls. Well, yes, with the cue ball and the black eight, you threw me nine balls back. ”

"Young Master, what is this you just played with that thin wooden stick to poke the ball? Xianglan has never seen it before. ”

"Little sister Xianglan, you don't know this. Let me tell you, this is the latest aristocratic sport of Zhenguan Datang invented by your young master with my help, called 'Youliang Tianyu Snooker Billiards'. Uh, okay, Tianyu, it's called 'Tianyu Youliang Snooker Billiards', that's it, right? Yes, pandan, that's what it's called. As soon as Chen Youliang explained this name made up by himself to Xianglan Xiao MM, he received a cordial look from Li Tianyu, so he immediately changed his words.

Banana, you Barra, you kid really don't have a backache when you stand and talk. In other words, this whole set of Tianyu snooker billiards facilities was handled by Lao Tzu himself from beginning to end. You just accompanied Lao Tzu to find the manufacturer who made this table and ball. It's good now, you kid directly snatched more than half of the credit. What's even more shameless is that your kid is still grabbing the naming rights and shares with Lao Tzu, just grab it, and put your kid in the first place. Yaxingda, you can't be too friendly.

"Ahem, pandan, in short, this is the legendary 'billiards'. It's just that because the young master is the first person to play billiards in our Zhenguan Datang, he will have the title that Youliang said just now. Don't you know the young master, the young master has always regarded these fame and fortune as floating clouds, so let Youliang call it whatever he wants. However, I said Youliang, next time you can't call it a reversal. ”

"Yes, yes, Tianyu Yingming." Chen Youliang touched a handful of sweat.
