Chapter 193: Mid-year entertainment and urgent after the New Year

When the sound of firecrackers gradually stopped, the little guys who couldn't stand it went back to the house with regret and fell asleep. The performances on the stage were still there. The people who came to watch were on fire and watched with relish in the cold.

The servants of the Zhang and Wang family should go to bed and be busy, while the adults set up a table and put mahjong on to play cards. This kind of entertainment has become popular throughout the Tang Dynasty since Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan proposed it to their family.

During the entertainment process, it naturally became a new gambling tool, and the restaurant opened by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan became popular under such circumstances.

Adhering to the practice of no size in the casino, a few mahjong masters brought by Liu Zhirou began to earn money from the Zhang and Wang families according to Liu Zhirou's instructions.

The rules of playing the thirteen cards are simple. If you don’t count the numbers, you can only get the quotation. Zhang Zhong lost to the person sent by the Ministry of Works in just half an hour. Master, Zhang Zhong finally met a master, and three of them beat him one.

The Zhang family is not interested in this amount of money. Zhang Xiaobao knew that his father was busy and had no time to spend energy on such things. As long as he was happy, it would be fine to lose some money.

But Liu Zhirou seemed to think that he had won less, and she didn't know how much money he was going to win the Zhang family on the mahjong table. She actually raised the basic money again and again, and turned it into a hundred yuan. The three families looked at each other, and in two games, they won more than one thousand yuan. Zhang Zhong was sweating on his forehead.

The three masters of the Ministry of Works seemed not satisfied. At Liu Zhirou's instructions, Zhang Zhong's opponent suddenly fled ten of them. It seemed that he wanted to continue to win big money, which had become a gambling for Hongguoguo.

At the beginning, Zhang Xiaobao was helping to pour water, but as he looked at it, he became unhappy. Why did the taste change when he was having fun?

Old Man Bi also noticed Zhang Xiaobao's face, put his mouth to Liu Zhirou's ear and said, "Stop it when you can."

"This is called a plan. Taking advantage of your happiness, you will win more than tens of thousands of yuan to bargain with the Zhang family." Liu Zhirou didn't know what she was thinking, but she actually wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.

Old Man Bi shook his head slightly and said, "That's more than deliberately bullying one person."

"Not afraid, there is no big or small in the casino. Isn't there any master in the Zhang family? When the loss is almost done, you may be able to force the master to show up and meet. Now, even if Zhang Zhong doesn't play, he won't do it. This is the case for those who lose the gambling."

Liu Zhirou is still proud of her plan.

"Then I hope your Ministry of Works has enough money to lose." Old Man Bi said meaningfully. He didn't think that the Zhang family would watch things develop according to Liu Zhirou's ideas. How could the mahjong they made be without masters?

Sure enough, Zhang Xiaobao got angry when he saw three bullying his father. Entertainment is entertainment. Each of them relies on their abilities. If the three collude to fight one, what's the point? Just tell me if you want money, why use such means?

After his father made another shot and lost two thousand guan, Zhang Xiaobao smiled and came to his nervous father and said, "Dad, the child is itchy when he sees his hands. Why not let the child play with the three uncles for a while."

Zhang Zhong was also anxious to lose. He knew that the three of them were helping each other and wanted to stop playing, but he had never had the chance to leave and was not angry. He could only lose money at home again and again. The more money the family is more money, but he can't give it to others for nothing. Seeing that his son was about to take action, he immediately gave up his position with a smile.

This action surprised Liu Zhirou. He knew very well what it meant to lose if he lost gambling. Usually, the more he lost, the more he gambled. It was too difficult to let him leave the gambling table. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhong gave up and didn't care at all. This can be said to be free and easy, or it can be said to be knowledgeable about advance and retreat.

What Zhang Xiaobao admires most is this of his father. This was the case before. He did not compete with his children or with his wife, and placed his position very much. This is the most rare thing. Taking a step back requires more courage and arduousness than taking a step further.

When Wang Juan saw Zhang Xiaobao sitting in Zhang Zhong's position, he began to feel sad for the three workers from the Ministry of Works who had just gotten up to bully him.

She knows the most who is Zhang Xiaobao. But who is imprisoned in the prison? How many times have Zhang Xiaobao been in back and forth?

Sure enough, Zhang Xiaobao had a smile on his face when he sat down and shuffled the cards, and seemed to be very relaxed. His little hands were rushing there, making people look like they didn't know how to play cards. When others had already marked all the thirty-four cards, Zhang Xiaobao then slowly marked his own side, pushed forward, and waited for others to play tricks.

The couple is still in the tenth level of the family. As long as they can win, the three workers in the Ministry of Works plan to bully their children.

One person caught thirteen cards. Zhang Xiaobao's opponent won just now and grabbed one more card. When the three workers in the Ministry of Works set up the cards and set up the positions back and forth, Zhang Xiaobao's card did not stand up at all. He just touched it from left to right with his hands and smiled and waited for the opponent to play cards.

This action stunned the people watching the game and the people on the three poker tables. What does it mean? Don’t look at the cards? How to play them in the future? After grab one, you can play one casually?

"Dongfeng." Zhang Xiaobao's opponent first made the limelight in his hand. Just as Zhang Xiaobao's previous family was about to draw cards, Zhang Xiaobao suddenly said: "Don't move, be foolish, the peacock flies southeast."

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaobao had already brought the opponent's card when others were surprised. With a loud bang, his card was set up. Others didn't know what it meant to fly southeast, and they filled the east wind into it.

After seeing the card that was pushed, the others were speechless for a moment. It was indeed a fool. Zhang Xiaobao's opponent was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe it. As soon as a card was released, two thousand guan was gone.

"It's a pity that there are no rules for the roster, otherwise I can win more. Let's continue, come on, the three uncles will give in."

Zhang Xiaobao took over the chips representing money and said with a pure smile.

Hiss! The three workers from the Ministry of Works took a breath of cold air at the same time, and their hearts suddenly broke out. Master, I met a master today.

Not only them, but the viewers also discovered that if Zhang Xiaobao first set up the card and played it against the opponent, he would be fine, but his card was not set up at all, so he touched it. Could it be that he knew that the opponent could play this card?

No matter how questioned the card game was, the game had to continue. Liu Zhirou called a person to her side and gave a few instructions to the person. The person came to the three people from the Ministry of Works. Each of them muttered in their ears, and the three people nodded to show that they knew.

This time, when the cards were shuffled, the three of them deliberately washed the cards a few more times. The six big hands were hard and could not hold them all to wash them. Zhang Xiaobao did not let his hands move around like he had just now, pushing the shuffled cards into their respective hands. Zhang Xiaobao didn't care, but his hands were still so slow and there were quite a few smiles on his face.

He did it on purpose just now, and he used three people to show off his skills first. He could just use such tricks once. If he was surprised, he would find out if he used them again.

Just like in the game, Zhang Xiaobao didn't look at the cards when he grabbed them. He touched them with his little hand and finished the matter. He picked out one from the cards and said, "Five."

"Touch." He happily took the five pieces over and typed out another one.

Zhang Xiaobao went to the house to draw cards and played a limelight. Zhang Xiaobao also caught one. Like the first card, he said, "Three tubes."

"Touch." The man happily took the card over again.

Several times in a row, Zhang Xiaobao's next house caught a card once, and the rest watched Zhang Xiaobao play cards to meet the opponent and the opponent. Seeing that the opponent and the opponent's cards were getting fewer and fewer cards, Zhang Xiaobao caught one again, and lit the card and said softly: "The words are all in one color, but unfortunately, I still can't win more."

This time he lost ten ranks, losing 2,000 guan for his family, and 1,000 guan for his family.

Now it's the turn of the three workers in the Ministry of Works to sweat.

"What's going on? Does Xiaobao know what other people will play?" Liu Zhirou muttered in disbelief that she thought she had seen the ghost.

Old Man Yao also wondered, it was strange. Zhang Xiaobao didn't read cards at all, even if he wanted to send someone to stand behind and report to others, it would be useless.

When they couldn't figure it out, the third game started again. Zhang Xiaobao was still at the highest tenth level and was topped off. Once the fourteen cards were obtained, they played one round. When they were drawing cards in the second round, they were a secret bar, which directly hit the hearts of the three workers.

It's over, two thousand trump cards per person are gone, this is still a good idea. If you follow other rules, you will lose more. Now you can only follow the same rules as before and try to catch the cards this time. If you don't count as a trump card, you will get the yellow card.

But how could this idea be realized? After a few more rounds, Zhang Xiaobao took a clear lever and pushed the card. He smiled and said, "I'm so bad, the lever is blooming, thank you, thank you."

According to the rules, the leverage did not double, but even so, the three companies each lost 4,000 trump cards. Zhang Zhong lost not only back, but also made a lot of money.

Before the four old men came up with any good idea, they tried several times in a row, and the result was that the three workers in the Ministry of Works lost one by one, and no matter how they winked, it was useless.

After Zhang Xiaobao won two consecutive open and secret leverages and added *** and then he asked with a smile: "Are you still playing with the three uncles? Your chips are already owed money to exchange. Why don't you give the money first, or write a document before playing. Otherwise, what if you don't admit it?"

"Xiaobao, a play, Tuhele, what's the money? Taking chips is actually a leader. Don't really count the money."

Old Man Liu wiped his sweat and said to Zhang Xiaobao.

"Ah? It doesn't count? It seems that someone has exchanged the money my father lost just now. A few flying money have been exchanged directly for chips." Zhang Xiaobao blinked his big eyes and said with confusion.

"Switch it back, change it back soon, hurry up and change it." Old Man Liu blushed, said to Zhang Xiaobao, and glared at the person next to him. He was afraid that Zhang Zhong would refuse to admit it after losing, so he immediately changed the chips he won to fly money, and now he has become a rock to shoot himself in the foot.

But he really had no choice. Zhang Xiaobao won at least 30,000 guan for each person in a short time. His opponent lost the most, more than 40,000 guan. Where can I get this money?

Zhang Xiaobao nodded helplessly and said, "It's still Grandpa Liu who reasoned. Xiaobao has learned a lot. Forget it, if you play, why bother so much? Otherwise, playing poker and playing smaller ones, you are not allowed to pay a debt this time. It takes a short time, unlike mahjong and you have to spend time on the card."

Hearing Zhang Xiaobao's words, Old Man Liu wished there was a crack on the ground to let him get in. The master did not show up, and only one Xiaobao cleaned up the three people who joined forces. It was a mistake, a mistake.

Now seeing Zhang Xiaobao changing something to play, the three people from the Ministry of Works, who were already confused, shook their heads hard, like rattles. They didn't realize that they had played mahjong for a long time. In many cases, Zhang Xiaobao had a bad card after a few rounds, and they didn't know how they did it.

"Xiaobao, don't bully people, come here to eat." Wang Juan saw that Zhang Xiaobao was scared, so she had to come over and pull Zhang Xiaobao away, otherwise if he was there, others would not have to continue to entertain.

Zhang Xiaobao also found it boring. The opponent is too face-to-face and can't even remember the cards, and will not mess up the cards through round-trip exchanges. Otherwise, if the three companies cooperate, you know that the next trump card is nothing and there is no way to stop others from playing cards. If you touch a card and disrupt the rhythm, they will be able to adjust it immediately by eating and touching.

Waiting for Zhang Xiaobao to leave the table, Old Man Bi leaned into Old Man Liu's ear and said, "How? You didn't buy chips first, otherwise the money would be gone."

"Master, I didn't expect Xiaobao to be such a master. With this ability, the Zhang family didn't have to do business. They let Xiaobao go out and bet with others, and the money flowed in continuously."

Old Man Liu looked at the cards on the table and said softly, "He hasn't figured out what's going on yet. It seems that his masters are not good enough, and he still has to practice, otherwise he will not be punished to death when he encounters Zhang Xiaobao like this?"

The thirty years of life gradually faded away. On the fifth day of the lunar month, Zhang Zhong ignored other people's places, and Shuzhou began to resume normal work, and the people began to work hard for the new year.

This is not only Shuzhou, but also Luzhou. After the Chinese New Year, those who should go to sea will still go to sea, and those who should be transported have begun to organize people to transport the goods to various places.

The fishermen on Qiongzhou Island formed a team to fish further afield.

The merchant fleet that was about to go to Luzon has also set sail. This year they are preparing to go there to hire local people to grow enough white buns and bring them back to Datang to sell. This is because it is cold this year, and it is also the reason why white buns are widely promoted in various places.

The lighthouse is still built further away. Any island or large reef you can encounter must be built on it. One is to guide the ships, and the other is to indicate the ownership of the place.

On the top of the furthest lighthouse built, there are still people guarding during the Chinese New Year, and the patrol ships also patrolled back and forth at the thirty moments. They occasionally stopped to send a blessing to those who guarded the lighthouse.

When the 15th month of the lunar month is about to arrive, the people guarding the tower on the farthest lighthouse are waiting for Lantern Festival. They are taking turns to look at the sea with thousands of eyes and looking at the sea, thinking that nothing will happen today, but suddenly they find that there are several ships coming from the plane in the distance.

The boat in front was carrying the Tang Dynasty flag, and the one behind was nothing. It seemed that the boat in the Tang Dynasty was running, and the boat behind was chasing. The boat in the chase was not only more than the boat running, but also larger than the boat running.

"Hurry up, send a signal. Someone bullies our Tang Dynasty fishing boats. Who is tired of living? Tell the patrol team quickly."

As he looked at the tower, the person guarding the tower reacted and shouted loudly. The person who took turns to rest woke up suddenly. He hurriedly took out the fireworks in a daze, and shouted, "Let the fishing boat run here first, and fight."
