Chapter 46: Luck
"Mr. Yuan, what do you think?" Old lady Liu asked Yuan Lang's opinion again.
"Hehe, it's just a game, but just laugh, the old lady is happy." Yuan Lang replied with a smile - looking at the child brought by Suning with clear eyebrows and flexible eyes, he should also be a smart child (if he is not good enough, even if he is his own nephew, with Suning's competitive personality, he probably won't bring it out, right?). And he is obviously much older than Tan Xiaotian, this game is still a big chance for him to win, right? But in the end, this is just an entertainment show at the birthday banquet, and it can't be so serious.
"Hehe, since that's the case, then it's decided, Ah Fu, light a timing incense, three children, you have half an hour to remember the cards, hurry up." Old Lady Liu commanded with a smile.
In fact, there is no big difference between timing incense and ordinary incense, the common line-shaped, disc-shaped, and general incense is different in that there is a scale drawn on it, after lighting the incense, people can calculate how long it has passed according to the position where the incense is burned, which is the most commonly used method in the case of accurate timing.
The incense was taken and lit, a little red light lit up at the top, and then slowly burned downward, leaving behind a longer and longer piece of incense ash, and the smoke rose and then dispersed at the heights.
The eyes of the three children were all on the horse tag on the table, from left to right, from top to bottom, if you look closely, you can find that Su Jing's lips are constantly moving, as if they are reading something.
"No, this kid shouldn't be able to play with horse hanging, right?" Tian Dayi found out about this situation and said to himself a little nervously.
"It's hard to say. I heard that Mr. Su's brother opened a teahouse in Qingyun City, and there are often people playing chess and cards in teahouses, if it's true, it's normal for that child to play horse hanging, right? Someone whispered.
"Ah, no wonder Mr. Su is so confident, isn't this the same as cheating?" Although it is just a rumor, not necessarily a fact, but this news makes Tian Dayi feel like he has been poured a scoop of cold water on his head - it is also a memory, whether he knows the names of the items he remembers, for example, now, Tian Qingyou and Tan Xiaotian can only memorize the patterns and patterns on the face of the horse tag, and Su Jing only needs to remember names such as 100,000, 200,000, one rope, and two cylinders, and the difference in memory is more than ten times, just like remembering people, people who know only need to mention 'Zhang San' and 'Li Si'' Wang Er Mazi', the image of that person naturally pops up in my mind, and if I don't know someone, I need to spend time describing that person's size, appearance, clothing, etc., and that's it, and it may not let others understand which person you are talking about. Therefore, Tian Dayi originally thought that his stupid son might try his luck to get the first place, but now it seems that this is simply a daydream!
"Hehe, okay, Lao Tian, you don't need to react so much, no matter whether people cheat or not, your son will not be able to play." Someone teased, which immediately caused a burst of snickering from the surrounding audience.
Gently shaking the folding fan, smiling, Su Quan looked at the three children who were trying to remember the cards, he naturally knew the situation of his nephew - Su Jing was still a baby when he was already held in the arms of his parents to play cards on the table, and it is even no exaggeration to say that in addition to "father" and "mother", the first word he learned was the name of the horse hang, for him, this is one of the toys he first came into contact with, Mrs. Liu used the horse crane as a topic, it is really God help me, remember that I can overpower the old man Yuan!
Yuan Lang's expression was indifferent - he is not a person without a competitive spirit, but Tian Qingyou's qualifications are reckless and difficult to take on heavy responsibilities, Tan Xiaotian is too young and does not understand personnel, so even if he loses, he has nothing to be upset about, since the two sides of the game are not of the same magnitude, it is better to treat it as a pure game.
Half a quarter passed quickly, and it wasn't long before Ah Fu, who was in charge of the timekeeping, announced in a loud voice, 'It's time! ’。
"Okay, three children, turn around first. Ah Fu, turn the cards over, be careful, don't mess up the position. Old Lady Liu commanded.
The three children turned around as they were told, with their backs to the table, and Ah Fu turned over all the eighty cards on the table with both hands, and the back of each row was the same, except for the texture of the bamboo itself covered under the varnish, and no one could guess the suit on the front of each card from the surface alone.
After the cards were turned over, Ah Fu stepped aside, and Mrs. Liu asked people to take three plates, one for each of the three children, to hold their own cards.
"Who will be the first to come? Well, let's go by age, and the younger ones will come first. Old lady Liu said with a smile - from the heart, he is still towards Tan Xiaotian, and his memory will become weaker and fader with the passage of time, so there will always be a little benefit to appearing first.
Tan Xiaotian was five years and three months old, Su Jing was seven years and six months old, and Tian Qingyou was eight years and one month, so the order of drawing cards was set.
Tan Xiaotian was the first to make a move, standing on a low stool, supporting the table with one hand, and leaning out with the other, first turning over the nearest card to himself, which was a tube, and then turning over a card from the other end, or a tube.
"Yes, little one, yes." Liu Wenxiong praised - although there is a first-mover advantage of the first shot, but for a five-year-old child, this is already a very good performance.
The next one is Su Jing, his actions are also very resolute, he flipped two in a row, the same 100,000, he was right.
The third one to appear is Tian Qingyou, who bit his index finger and hesitated for a long time, first turned over a card, which was nine ropes, and then hesitated, and the raised right hand hovered over the card pile, and finally gritted his teeth, and fell down ruthlessly, grabbed a card and opened it to see, but it was a six rope.
"Alas, this kid, why is he so stupid!" Tian Qingyou was certainly annoyed, but Tian Dayi, who was in the crowd of onlookers next to him, was even more distressed, it seemed that if he didn't care about face, he would have the intention of rushing to play for his son.
"Hehe, Boss Tian is a little restless, this is not just the beginning, Qingyou may not be at the end." Yuan Lang smiled and persuaded - although he didn't know that the horse crane still had this kind of play, but the so-called one reason, all the reason, he is knowledgeable, and his views are much more clever than ordinary people, in his opinion, this kind of game is a test of memory, but that is in the beginning stage, as a card on the table is drawn or put back, the initial memory will definitely be disrupted, the player must not only remember the position of the original card, but also constantly correct the situation that some cards are taken away, so it will not take long for the element of luck to be highlightedTherefore, although Tian Qingyou's memory is not good, his luck may not be lost to the other two.
