Pepper admits that she has no talent for playing cards.

For her, perhaps it would be easier for Buddha to jump over the wall.

Pei Ze smiled: "No, no, you just need to fill the number." ”

"That's it, we don't gamble anyway." Feng's eyes lit up, she liked to play the leaf card the most, and asked Pei Ze with a smile, "Third child, have you ever played in the northwest?" What kind of play over there? ”

"It's pretty much the same as we have here." Pei Ze rolled up his sleeves and said, "Actually, it's similar to play everywhere, let's just play our side." ”

Wang Rong and Feng Shidao are

Leaf cards are played by four people, each person first catch eight cards, the rest are placed on the table, to fight small, a circle down, the winner catches first, the dealer takes turns to sit, and there is no fixed number, three players work together to play the dealer.

It feels like a royalist.

Three laps down.

Pei Ze won twice, and the last time was when he was on a team with her, and he met a pig teammate like her, so he also lost.

Feng Shi laughed: "Don't worry, with such a powerful master as Pei Ze, you will be there soon." ”

The four of them played until midnight, and then they dispersed.

At night, Pei Ze took the deck of leaf cards one by one, looked at them carefully, and put on his shoes and went to the pepper room, which was full of shrimp paste, and put half a kang on the face kang, and saw that the little girl was sleeping soundly with those bottles and jars, and couldn't bear to disturb her, and just turned around and heard the pepper ask: "Third brother, are you in trouble?" ”

These days, both of them are very busy.

Especially Pei Ze, who goes out early and returns late, can hardly say a word.

Now he entered her room coldly, much to her surprise.

Seeing her wake up, Pei Ze went and returned, actually lit the lamp, took off his shoes and went to the kang, sat cross-legged on her futon, took out the leaf card and handed it to her, and said: "You smell it well, what does the wax oil on it smell like." ”

Sichuan pepper took it and sniffed it seriously: "There is a smell similar to gardenia, what's wrong?" ”

"The gardenias on Xianling Island are tasteless." Pei Ze said solemnly, "Don't you think it's strange? ”

"I don't think it's weird! I'm talking about gardenias, but I didn't say they must be gardenias! Hua Jiao continued to look at the leaf card in his hand, "What exactly do you want to ask?" Or what did you discover through this deck of cards? ”

She doesn't like to play pantomimes.

I don't like people to play pantomime with her.

"I suspect that there are people from Dongchu on this island." Pei Ze said bluntly.

"So what?" Sichuan pepper is still puzzled.

There are hermits on this island.

It's not strange that there are a few Dongchu people, right?

Wait, Dongchu should be foreigners for them, right?

"Dongchu people like to eat muscle fish meat, I think we can sell it directly to them, and we should be able to sell it at a good price." Pei Ze said seriously, "Or, if we can get acquainted with the merchants on the Dongchu side, we can also save a lot of effort, and let them directly pull the goods away, as far as I know, these days, the merchants on the Dongchu side will come to buy muscle fish." ”

Yuan Hao suspected that Prince Chun had a connection with Dongchu.

He also wondered how he didn't find the Dongchu people on the dock these days, and he dared to love it here......

Sichuan pepper enlightenment.

In fact, she still doesn't understand what this has to do with the leaf brand.

But Pei Ze also has a point.

They have dried so much dried fish, if they can't find their next home as soon as possible, they will be in trouble if they smash their hands.

It's time to go out and investigate the market, and she still knows that.

"I'll take you to the owner's house tomorrow, and you can help me keep an eye on the leaf cards in their hands." Pei Ze said, "Dongchu people like mystery, can't be too direct, if we can know the people of Dongchu by playing the leaf card, it will often have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort." ”

"Okay, I'll go with you." Pepper yawned and asked in a daze, "Do you know the owner?" ”

"I said hello to him when I came." Pei Ze explained, "Anyway, many people in their family are playing leaf cards, so it doesn't hurt for us to go and have a look." ”

Pepper nodded, rolled over, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Pei Ze: "......"

She fell asleep fast.

The next day, the rain finally stopped.

But the weather was still a bit gloomy, and it still looked like it was going to rain.

Hearing that the two were going out, Feng asked the two to bring umbrellas, Pei Ze went to the yard to look at the sky, and said firmly: "You don't need to bring an umbrella, it won't rain today." ”

The pepper became more and more magical, and he hurriedly asked, "Have you ever learned to watch the sky from others?" ”

"Nope." Pei Ze said lightly, "I have been out many times, I have been drenched in the rain and blown by the wind, so I will naturally know." ”

Hua Jiao smiled and said nothing.

She didn't believe it!

But since he said so, she didn't want to ask again.

Guan Mao slept enough, the whole person was radiant, seeing that Pei Ze and Hua Jiao were going to the island owner's house to watch people play leaf cards, they wanted to follow with great interest to be lively, but Pei Ze immediately refused: "There are too many people, it's inconvenient, you stay at home!" ”

"Third brother, I've been asleep for three days and woke up." Guan Mao patted his chest and said, "Third brother, don't worry, I won't give you a mistake, I'll just stand on the side and be your little servant, I won't speak." ”

"Nope." Pei Ze simply refused.

He just wants to be with his little girl and doesn't want anyone else to go.

"Sichuan pepper ......" Guan Mao glanced at her vigorously.

Hua Jiao understood and said with a smile: "Then let's go together!" ”

One more person is nothing.

What's more, Guan Mao is not annoying.

"It's better to have peppercorns." Guan Mao smiled.

Pei Ze did not object again.

The owner of Xianling Island lives halfway up the main peak.

There is a village halfway up the mountain called the Goddess Village.

The owner's house is not far from the village of the goddess, with mountains and rivers in the background, flowers all over the field, and the owner is very good at choosing a place.

It had just rained and the ground was muddy.

The three of them walked for half an hour before arriving at the owner's house.

The housekeeper who opened the door, forty or fifty years old, with a beard, small eyes, looked very sleek, when Pei Ze came to the island to rent a house, he accompanied Pei Ze to find the house, and he thought it was very successful.

Seeing Pei Ze, the housekeeper welcomed them in very warmly: "The owner of the island knows that you were busy fishing some time ago, and you didn't have time to come over, and I talked about you a few days ago, and I admired you very much, and I heard that your small boat catches more than our local big boat, so I have long wanted to invite you to ask for advice." ”

"Don't dare to ask for advice, we're just stumbling into it by mistake." Pei Ze said modestly.

Guan Mao bit the ear of the pepper and said in a low voice: "Actually, their people have consulted us at sea, and every time they see us returning with a full warehouse, they are very jealous of us!" ”

Hua Jiao nodded and followed Pei Ze silently.

The owner's house is huge.

The terrain is very uneven.

The yard is almost full of steps, layered on top of each other, very exotic.

The butler led them into the backyard.

The backyard corridor is full of people playing leaf cards, in groups of three or five, shouting five and drinking, much like the mahjong parlor in the previous life.

What surprised Hua Jiao even more was that the man in white who gave her the antidote that day was also there.
