Chapter 50: Playing Poker
After the train started, some people in the carriage who took the train for the first time were still talking excitedly, such as Zhou Quanying, who was diagonally above and kept whispering to Zhao Lihui.
Although this girl was dressed plainly, she was still a little naΓ―ve when she listened to the words, and she should have not suffered any difficulties.
On the other side of Xu Deyong, an intellectual woman named Wang Xiaoting was already reading a book on her stomach.
Elena and Chen Xueru sat together, muttering something in a low voice.
From time to time, people walked around in the aisle, and when they saw the two women, they couldn't help but slow down and look at the two women, and then look up at .......
Hey, what's an anomaly, this little thief luck!
After a while, a conductor came over with a trolley for a kettle and said, "Are there any comrades who need hot water?" β
"I need ......."
"I'll ...... something."
"Thank you!"
β¦β¦
Everyone took out their drinking cups, most of which were enamel cups, some large and some small.
Xu Deyong saw that everyone was almost the same, so he turned over vigorously and took out his enamel cup that was a little off porcelain from the cloth bag to catch the water.
Chen Xueru glanced up at him, and said slowly: "Take me a cup too, I brought tea leaves, you can put some." β
Xu Deyong said: "Cheng, Miss Yelena wants it." β
Elena took out her water glass and said with a smile, "Thank you, Xu, you are really a gentleman." β
Xu Deyong smiled and said, "Serve the people." β
At this time, Zhou Quanying above couldn't help but whisper: "We are all people." β
Zhao Lihui frowned and scolded lightly: "Quan Ying ......." β
Xu Deyong smiled, this girl is a little interesting, but the trivial thing of going out is easy to do, so he said: "I'll bring the kettle, you prepare the water cup, I have limited ability alone, just serve our two rows." β
Zhao Lihui hurriedly said: "Don't bother your comrade, we can take it ourselves." β
Xu Deyong waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's not convenient for you to go up and down, just leave it to me." β
While speaking, Xu Deyong had already walked out, and after negotiating with the conductor, he came over with a kettle.
After pouring Chen Xueru and Yelena first, Xu Deyong said: "Come on, come on, the female comrades on it don't need ink, and the kettle should be returned to the conductor as soon as possible." β
"Give, thank you, Comrade Xu Deyong."
Zhou Quanying pursed her lips and generously handed the cup to Xu Deyong.
"I accept your thanks." Xu Deyong said with a smile.
Zhou Quanying was slightly stunned, ordinary people will say, 'You're welcome', this guy is still a little weird...... Interesting!
Next, Xu Deyong poured water for Zhao Lihui and Wang Xiaoting, and both of them politely expressed their gratitude.
Chen Xueru pursed her lips secretly, and when Xu Deyong finished returning the kettle, she smiled a little: "Xu Deyong, the road is boring, and after serving the people, then come and accompany us to pass the time when we are playing poker." β
Elena put down the book and said, "What kind of poker do the three of us play?" β
Chen Xueru leaned lazily on the bunk and said, "Let's play 'hoe the earth', we have played it once before." β
"Oh." Yelena said suddenly: "I remember, you still call it 'Big Er', my God, your gameplay is too complicated, and I can't figure out some of the rules of 'Iron Branch' and 'Gourd'!" β
Chen Xueru smiled and said, "Okay, just play a few more times." β
Yelena shrugged and said, "Then I'm going to lose every time, oh yes, Xu, will you?" β
Xu Deyong shook his head and said, "I've heard of it, but I'm not very good at ......." β
Chen Xueru couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "You don't even know how to play poker." β
Yelena spread her hands and said, "Xu won't have that way, let's still read a book or sleep." β
Xu Deyong smiled and said, "Although I am not proficient in what you call 'big second', it will be relatively simpler." β
"Oh!" Chen Xueru's beautiful eyes couldn't help but look at him, and she couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity.
Yelena said happily: "I like simple gameplay, Xu, can you talk about the rules?" β
Xu Deyong nodded and said, "Of course you can ......." β
The name poker is transliterated from 'poker', and poker in Y does not actually refer to a set of cards, but a generic term for a gambling game that 'bets are bigger than the size of the deck and the winner takes the pot'.
In the fifties, China's playing style of playing cards was relatively simple, generally "playing 100 points", "hoeing the earth" and "running fast" evolved from "hoeing the earth".
Hoe Dadi, also known as "Big Second" and "Hoe Big D", should be the originator of all fast running games.
Later games such as fighting for the top, catching black forks, breaking eggs, and fighting landlords are all derivative gameplay of hoeing the earth.
By the mid-sixties, everyone from the central leadership, to the local officials, to the ordinary people, liked to play poker.
Poker is nicknamed "Document 54", which follows the principle of study and implementation, complete and thorough, and consciously voluntary.
At that time, the Chinese population was 700 million, and there was a famous alliance in poker: 700 million people and 700 million (playing cards), and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains played everywhere (playing cards).
It can be seen that in the era of relative lack of entertainment, playing poker is very popular.
That's right, what Xu Deyong wants to say is the landlord game that we often play now.
Fighting landlords began to be called 'two to one', there are several theories about the specific origin, the more popular is that appeared in Hubei in the nineties, by professional poker experts based on the "run fast" adaptation, and then spread with the help of the Internet.
Xu Deyong took apart the poker that Chen Xueru took out and explained the gameplay of 'two against one'.
Can't be called fighting the landlord, otherwise they can win when they play cards?
Hey, you said the landlord won? What intentions!
When Xu Deyong explained, the three women above couldn't help but listen.
After Xu Deyong finished speaking, Chen Xueru couldn't help but sigh and said: "This is not similar to the 'running fast' gameplay in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. β
Yelena said: "This kind of gameplay is good, simple and easy to understand, I feel like I already know it." β
When Chen Xueru heard this, she sighed and said, "Okay, since Yelena agrees, let's play a few games!" β
So, the three of them started playing cards around the small board table in the middle.
At first, I was a little unskilled, but I soon got on the road and cooperated with each other.
Whether it is Chen Xueru and Yelena cooperating with 'two to one' Xu Deyong, or Xu Deyong and either of the two cooperating with the other person, they can produce good physiological ...... Phew, chemistry!
With Xu Deyong's rank, at the beginning, he was completely teasing the two girls, winning and losing during the period, and the two girls became more and more addicted.
Yelena proposed to have some lottery, even if it was a penny, but Xu Deyong and Chen Xueru refused, the country banned gambling, and it was better not to do anything in front of everyone on the train.
Xu Deyong's ill-intentioned proposal to 'snap his brain' was also directly rejected by the two girls.
In the end, Chen Xueru's proposal was agreed to by Yelena, and she glued the soaked tea leaves to her face.
Hey, what a waste of this!
Xu Deyong had no choice but to contribute his own enamel cup lid and pour some water and tea.
Sample, today I will make your face full of ......!
