hunter's daughter-in-law

Chapter 58 Mahjong

The days after the new year were unusually leisurely. They had no relatives to visit. Even if they had, the road on the mountain was dangerous and difficult, and no one would want to come up.So Zhang Jin basically lived a life of sleeping and eating, eating and sleeping.If his grandfather knew about his current habits, he would probably jump up in anger.

Now he doesn't practice calligraphy very much, and he only made two paintings this winter, both of which were done on the spur of the moment and finished hastily.Zhang Jin didn't pay much attention to her strange laziness.Anyway, no one will whisper in their ears now.

On this day, it was rare to have leisure time. Zhang Jin changed her clothes and walked around the yard with Yuan Hong.The snow was already melting, so it was cold outside.Not long after, Zhang Jin's nose turned red.

Yuan Hong didn't dare to let him stay outside for too long, so he took him back to the house after a stroll.The warm inner room made Zhang Jin's red nose and face from the cold outside feel much better.

Next, after chatting with Yuan Zhe and Yuan Hua for a while, Zhang Jin suddenly felt a little bored and wanted to find something to do.Apart from the two children in this family, he is the one who has the most leisure time. Yuan Zhe and Yuan Hua never leave their hands with needlework when they are free.Either sew two pieces of clothing, or put in several layers of soles.For the scene of the man holding the embroidery needle, Zhang Jin is so used to it that he can no longer get used to it.

After watching Yuan Zhe and their shoes for a while, Zhang Jin couldn't help but wonder what his parents, grandparents, and uncles and aunts were doing at this time.It should be participating in various parties, being a guest, or playing mahjong.

Play majiang?correct!He can make a mahjong to pass the time.Now that I am in a panic, mahjong can just relieve my boredom.

Zhang Jin's eyes lit up, and he acted when he said to act. He called Yuan Hong and told him his thoughts.

For Zhang Jin's strange request, Yuan Hong didn't ask too much, but tried to satisfy him as much as possible.

After listening, he turned around and went to the storage room. When he came out, he had an ax in his hand, and was about to chop a tree and make mahjong for Zhang Jin.They live in the mountains, and cutting down trees is not too much trouble.Yuan Zheng and Yuan Hong went out together.

Zhang Jin watched from outside the door, and there was a forest outside the yard.Not long after, Yuan Hong and Yuan Zheng came back dragging the tree.Yuan Hong's carpentry is good, and he could not trouble him by processing the tree into 136 squares of the same size.

Others also came to help, wanting to see how the so-called mahjong was made.

It took them a lot of work to polish 136 small squares into almost the same size.The next step is to engrave the pattern on it.

There are cake cards one to nine, million cards one to nine, bar cards one to nine, and four cards each for east, west, north, south, and middle hair, a total of 136 cards.In this way, a super simple mahjong set is ready.Wooden mahjong is much lighter than modern ones, and the quality is also much worse. However, the conditions are like this. In order to relieve fatigue, there is no need to pay so much attention.

I taught everyone how to play mahjong, and everyone couldn't wait to play it that day.

Mahjong is the "quintessence of the country", not only popular in China, but also popular all over the world, and there is a world mahjong championship.From this we can see the public's enthusiasm for mahjong.In addition, in later generations, people like to play a few cards when they have nothing to do, and there are mahjong parlors opened everywhere, which shows the charm of mahjong.

Several of Zhang Jin's elders are mahjong fans. When they see others playing cards, their hands will itch if they don't touch one or two.Although he is not obsessed with mahjong, he still understands its playing rules.

Yuan Hong sat across from Zhang Jin, Yuan Zhe and Yuan Jing, and the first round of the four began.Since others were not familiar with the rules, Zhang Jin won easily.

After half an hour, Zhang Jin was no longer in control of the situation alone, and the other three could also play cards.An hour later, Yuan Hong and Zhang Jinhu had about the same number of times, and half an hour later, Zhang Jin was nervous about how to stop shooting.

Wooden mahjong doesn't feel good, but when the mood comes, no one can care about it.Later, Yuan Hua and Yuan Zheng also came up to play a few games.

Everyone played so hard that they didn't want to let go of the cards in their hands, but it was already dark.

Put away the mahjong, everyone reluctantly went to wash and sleep.However, I found a very interesting game to pass the time, everyone will not let it go easily, come back tomorrow!

In later days, mahjong played an indispensable role.When I was free, I put out the tiles and touched a few, so that later, except for the two younger ones in the original family, they could all play a hand of mahjong proficiently.

After the Spring Festival, winter goes quickly.

Before I knew it, the snow on the mountain had almost melted, at least the road up the mountain became smooth.The Yuan family ushered in their first batch of visitors two years later—the family of Lou Xiao and Li Mingyin.

A luxurious carriage stopped in front of the courtyard of the original family. If you look closely, you will find that the carriage has many similarities with the one in the original family.That's right, this is the result of Lou Xiao riding in the original family's carriage once.

In order for Zhang Jin to have a better riding environment, Yuan Hong worked hard. After listening to Zhang Jin's suggestion, Yuan Hong remodeled the carriage three times before it got what it is today. It will not be bumpy and painful.Later, not long after, Lou Xiao also changed to the same carriage.

Yuan Zheng immediately went forward to welcome the guests in.Lou Xiao wrapped the dumpling tightly in his arms, and followed behind with Li Mingyin.

"I really didn't expect you to come!" Zhang Jin said pleasantly, and asked them to lean on the brazier to warm up.It's still cold today.

Lou Xiao let go of the blanket wrapped in the dumpling, and sat down beside Zhang Jin, "If I don't come, I'll have to wait until you come out of the mountain, I don't know when it will be."

Yuan Zhe made two cups of tea for the two of them, and took the dumpling from Lou Xiao. He was fast asleep at the moment. Yuan Zhe listened to Zhang Jin's instructions and carried him into the room first.

"I haven't seen you for almost a month. Is everything okay in the town?" Zhang Jin asked.

"Everything is safe. Apart from coming to see you this time, I went up the mountain for this thing." Lou Xiao took out an account book from his sleeve. "This is the account book of 'Simple Newspaper'. You are the boss anyway, so you have to read it."

"Now our newspaper is selling well in several surrounding counties and towns. A few days ago, we printed another 2000 copies. And this is the plan for this year. Let's discuss it. I want to hear your opinion."

Hearing this, Zhang Jin took the account book and plan from Lou Xiao.Of course he believed in Lou Xiao. From the very beginning, he didn't want to participate too much in the management of the newspaper, because he was not that kind of material at all.

The purpose of Lou Xiao doing this today is to express his attitude on the one hand, even if the newspaper office is under his own management, but he has no extra thoughts, and it will save a lot of confusion in the future. It is better to be clear and clear at the beginning of the account.

The two of them went into the study and discussed the plan carefully.

With the current momentum of the newspaper, it would be too wasteful not to seize the time to expand to other states and counties.Once a new thing like a newspaper appears, it won't take long for someone to imitate it. Moreover, the public's acceptance of newspapers is quite high, and the demand is constantly increasing.

Seeing the benefits in it, it is impossible to avoid imitation by others. 'Simple Newspaper' is now relying on the advantage of being the first to publish and Zhang Jin's "experience" to get what it is today. If other people react and figure out the way , then it will be too late.The cake is only so big, if you have more, I will lose one point, and more and more people will join in to grab the cake later, so it is a wise choice to seize the market early.

After discussing with Lou Xiao, Zhang Jin and Lou Xiao decided to go to other states and counties immediately.But there is still a problem, that is recruiting people!The newspaper office is currently understaffed, but fortunately, it is on track, and I believe there will be no problems.

"Okay, it's settled like this. I'll ask them to do it when I get back." Lou Xiao put away the new proposal, full of confidence.

"We've been talking for so long, let's go out and eat something, I'm hungry." Zhang Jin touched his abdomen. Although he felt hungry, his stomach did not go away.

"it is good."

Delicious snacks had already been placed in the lobby, and Yuan Zhe waited at the side, pouring tea for the two of them.Smelling the fresh scent of tea and enjoying the delicious snacks, Zhang Jin sighed contentedly in her heart, with a happy look on her face.

"What's that?" Lou Xiao inadvertently glanced at the small table next to him, and pointed to the neatly stacked squares on the table.

Zhang Jin followed his gaze, and then replied, "That's mahjong."

"Mahjong?"

"Well, how should I put it, you can understand it as a game, a way of gambling."

"Oh?" After listening to Zhang Jin's explanation, Lou Xiao suddenly became interested, put down the teacup in his hand and walked to the table, picked up a few pieces of mahjong in his hand and looked at it carefully, "What kind of game is this?"

Lou Xiao looked at the different patterns engraved on it, feeling very novel.I have never heard of mahjong before, and Zhang Jin has come up with a new one, which looks very interesting.

Zhang Jin walked up to him, "This mahjong is played by four people. If you want to know, then we will play a few games in front of your eyes, and you will probably know."

Zhang Jin called Yuan Zhe and Yuan Hua over, just as Yuan Hong and Li Mingyin appeared in front of the gate, Zhang Jin called Yuan Hong over as well.Hearing that there was a new game, Li Mingyin followed curiously around to see how they played it.

The 136 squares were stacked up and down in groups of two, and a long strip was placed in front of the eyes of the four people.Then one of them rolls the dice and draws cards...

After getting to know the rules gradually, Lou Xiao felt that Mahjong was really interesting.

At first he couldn't help itching, Yuan Zhe and Yuanhua gave up his position to give Lou Xiao and Li Mingyin a try, and guided by the side.

After one game after another, Lou Xiao and the others will know how to play.And I like this new game more and more, especially Lou Xiao, who keeps playing until he doesn't want to let go.

After lunch, Lou Xiao threw his son to Yuan Zhe and continued to fight at the poker table.Zhang Jin shook her head, fortunately Lou Xiao was not born in modern times, otherwise...

When he went back, Lou Xiao couldn't wait to make a mahjong game. In addition, he also wanted to promote this new game. It's a pity that only a few people can play such an interesting mahjong game!The most important thing is that it is hard to find friends with few people...
