Zhou Yi's new warm ginger milk tea really played a certain role, but there was no way to cause a sensation anymore, which was determined by the singleness of the tea house's operation. Zhou Yi's main source of income now is the wheelchair made by Mr. Liu, and the profit share of Daguan Private Restaurant. Although Daguan private dishes only make twenty tables a day, Zhou Yi heard that the price of each table is several times higher than before, and it is completely controlled by those big families, and it seems that it is not easy for ordinary people to eat it. But Zhou Yi doesn't care about these, he is a businessman, of course, whoever gives more money is the uncle.

Immediately afterwards, he launched a variety of fruit-flavored milk tea, although it attracted some customers, but such profits have made him unable to satisfy, he wanted to close the Daguan Tea Workshop to open other stores, but he was afraid that Zhou Sheng would be angry, so he did not put this matter on the agenda, after thinking about it for a few days, he had a flash of inspiration in his mind, this Qin family likes to gamble so much, and does not go home all day and all night, so why not gamble in this Daguan Tea Workshop, so as to attract everyone in the Daguan Tea Workshop, and then sell their other products, who can not take it?

There are not many mahjong parlors in the world where Zhou Yi lives, although this also belongs to the category of gambling, but it seems that the imperial court also turns a blind eye, as long as it does not gamble too much, it is classified as entertainment. Zhou Yi was thinking, if the Daguan Tea House was opened up into a mahjong parlor, what kind of effect would it have?

If you think of it, do it, this is Zhou Yi's style, since you think this is a direction, then why not give it a try?

Mahjong has really appeared in the Song Dynasty, but the gameplay is completely different from later, to appear the kind that Zhou Yi can understand, you must wait until five hundred years later, when the "horse hanging" appears.

Some people say that mahjong cards, horse tags, and solitaire developed and evolved. Entertainment games such as horse tags and cards are inextricably linked with the oldest entertainment game in Chinese history, Boxi. Or even "blood" relations. Popular chess, card and other games and entertainment are all developed, derived and evolved on the basis of games.

It is difficult to say exactly when the Gubo opera began. According to the "Historical Records" and other relevant written records, the production of Bo Opera was at least before King Yin. China's earliest game is called "Liubo", with six chopsticks and 12 chess pieces, the chopsticks are a kind of elongated bamboo products, equivalent to the dice used in playing mahjong tiles today.

Zhou Yi felt that if he could spread the rules of national standard mahjong in the Northern Song Dynasty, the effect should not be too bad.

After designing the drawings, Zhou Yi immediately went to Mr. Liu's woodware workshop, there is no plastic yet, and if you want to make mahjong, you can only use wood. Of course, there have been mahjong made of jade and gold in history, but with Zhou Yi's current value, it is estimated that he will be bankrupt if he can have a pair, so it is still wood. Although it was said before that mahjong was made of bamboo, Zhou Yi felt that bamboo was not good at touching cards, and it would be boring if it was hung by barbs.

On the street, Zhou Yi saw several wheelchairs, and the people sitting on them were all smiling. The price of wheelchairs is not expensive, it can be said that everyone can afford it, as long as there is a need, so from the sales data provided by Mr. Liu, it has become the best-selling commodity in the woodwork workshop, and there is no one.

When I came to the woodsmithing workshop, several people were buying things in the store, and many more people were asking about the use of wheelchairs in order to buy them for the people in need in their own families. Seeing Zhou Yi coming, those little guys all saluted him, and the wheelchair invented by Zhou Yi had already impressed them deeply.

"Hengzhi, you're here." When Mr. Liu saw Zhou Yi coming, he actually opened his mouth to say hello first, and the title has changed from young master to Zhou Yi's word, which is a sign of closeness, indicating that he has been deeply impressed by Zhou Yi's business acumen.

He has taught all the skills of making wheelchairs to his disciples and grandchildren, and he still has recovered his previous leisure and comfort, so many years his disciples have already spread all over Qingshen County, and there is no need to do something by himself, unless it is a far-reaching decision.

Zhou Yi bowed to him and said, "Mr. Liu seems to be in a good mood." ”

"Of course it's good, the income of the carpentry workshop in recent times has been more than the income of last year, how can I be wrong in my mood? Ha ha. Mr. Liu smiled heartily.

Starting from the construction of the wooden structure in the city wall, Zhou Yi's order for the city wall was just completed, first for tables, chairs and benches, and then for the design, manufacture and installation of doors and windows for Daguan private restaurant. Finally, there is the hot sale of wheelchairs, and Mr. Liu feels that the woodworking workshop has not been so busy for many years. This busyness has created a very lucrative profit for the carpentry workshop.

"By the way, Hengzhi, why did you suddenly want to come and sit with me again? I've heard that you've made a lot of new flavors of milk tea these days, and I'm thinking about having a chance to try it at your place. Mr. Liu said.

Zhou Yi said: "Mr. Liu, what he said is polite, if you want to eat, where can you go over in person, as long as you give an order, I can't help but send it over." ”

"Look at what you said so politely, oh yes, you're here today...... Could it be that you have a new idea? ”

"Yes, I'm going to trouble Mr. Liu again, and I'm really a little upset to say it." Zhou Yi smiled and said.

Mr. Liu is very interested, he never feels troublesome about the things he is interested in, such as wheelchairs, he takes the trouble to improve and make them, although he is not young, but at that moment, he feels that he is as energetic as when he was young.

"I really don't know how you young man have time to think about so many things in his head, come on, come on, the two of us go inside and say, I want to see what good things you have made." Mr. Liu couldn't wait to say.

Zhou Yi took out the drawings he drew and said, "What I want to do is these things, and I think Mr. Liu can use relatively hard materials to make these things." "You can't use gold or silver without plastic, but ordinary wood is too light and doesn't feel good.

"What are you going to do? I also asked for materials again. Mr. Liu said with a smile while flipping through the drawings.

The drawings brought by Zhou Yi are a picture album, and the word "mahjong" is written on the top seriously, and when you open it, each page is painted with several patterns, which are three-dimensional drawings of each mahjong card.

"It's ...... Mahjong? "Mr. Liu was very confused, but it was not strange, anyway, Zhou Yi came to him, and it was very strange to even make a table.

More than 100 years ago, Yang Danian, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty and the main writer of "Xikun style" poetry, wrote a book called "Mahjong Sutra", which is the earliest origin of the name of mahjong.

"Yes, mahjong, the toys I made, I'll teach you to play in the future, now you have to make these things first." Zhou Yi said that if this thing is not made, it is really difficult to understand how to play it.

"Toys? You're really, young man, young man, I think you must have taken this thing out for gambling, I saw the dice. Alas, you said that you are all right, and you have thought of gambling again for a while, and now that your career has just started, you should work harder......"

Zhou Yi suddenly had nothing to say, just asked a few words and left, saying that he would come to pick it up in five days.

Back at home, Zhou Yi was not idle, he began to write the rules of the national standard mahjong game, which is very important, there are no rules, since it is a toy, there must be rules for playing.

National standard mahjong is a way to play mahjong, abandoning the gambling nature of popular mahjong, and at the same time increasing the number of types to 81, which greatly increases the fun and competitiveness. The national standard mahjong 8 rounds of Hu Hu increase the difficulty of the game, but also increase the fun.

Zhou Yi listed the rules, a large book, which recorded all kinds of gameplay and situations in detail, took it out and printed hundreds of copies, piled them up at home, and just waited for Mr. Liu to do mahjong well.

Mahjong is not so much carpentry, but carving, this is fine work, and only an old and serious expert like Mr. Liu can do the best.

More than 100 cards, first the selection of materials, and then polishing into the same size of the square, these work can be completed by the people below, just carving the patterns above, it is none other than Mr. Liu and a few outstanding disciples.

A few days later, Mr. Liu sent someone to deliver a wooden box, the box was pale yellow throughout, exuding a slight aroma, and it was smooth to handle. Although Zhou Yi is not an expert in playing with wood, he doesn't know what kind of material it is made of, but he can know that this thing is expensive just by this feel. When I opened the box, there were one hundred and thirty-six cards neatly arranged inside, the same color and texture, full of extreme beauty. Grabbed a card, all sides were polished very smooth, and it was very close to plastic, Zhou Yi was very satisfied.

"Brother, what are you doing? Well, mahjong? Seeing that Zhou Yi kept playing with this thing after getting it, Zhou Min couldn't help but say curiously.

Zhou Yi began to tell him how to play mahjong, Sichuan people like to play may be innate, Zhou Min heard him say this, and even had a strong interest, pestering Zhou Yi to teach her to play mahjong. Zhou Yi said: "Forget it, it depends on the store, besides, I don't want you to become the same as Erniang, you have to know, if it weren't for my father's good temper and my daughter-in-law running out to play every day like this, I would have divorced her without saying a word." ”

Speaking of the Qin family, Zhou Min also sighed, obviously she didn't like such people either, so she said: "Okay, then I won't play, I'll go and do things." ”

In the evening, when the Qin family came back from outside, Zhou Yi went to her for the first time in the first time, with the newly made mahjong and mahjong gameplay rules.
