For lunch, Xu Mo didn't eat hot pot.
Although hot pot is a good thing, eating it every day and every meal is not good for the body.
By the way, he also wanted to teach Xiren how to cook.
He made a roast beef.
It was simple and sprinkled with a few ingredients.
It's not that Xu Mo didn't want to make it well, but... when he went out shopping, he was busy buying fruits and green vegetables and forgot to buy oil, although there was not much good oil in the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, he didn't want to go out today and just wanted to lie at home like a lazy dog. By the way,He boiled a pot of hawthorn juice.
There was still some leftover rock sugar at home.
When the hawthorn juice was just cooked. Cheng Yaojin and the other three came just in time.
The faint sour smell in the air made Cheng Yaojin eager to ask: "Shopkeeper, what's the good stuff?"
"This time, you can't do it like yesterday, when you were just about to have dinner and then remembered that there was a product you didn't introduce to us."
Xu Mo glanced at him and said, "It's just ordinary hawthorn juice. Drink it when it's cold. Do you want some?"
"Come on!" Cheng Yaojin agreed.
Yuchi Jingde and Li Jing also asked for one.
The parrot started yelling, "Greedy ghost, greedy ghost!"
Cheng Yaojin glared at it and said, "Then don't eat mountain red!"
The parrot didn't answer him, but just spit out the fruit core again and hit Cheng Yaojin on the head.
Cheng Yaojin started to curse the parrot again.
Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde were a little helpless. Others were getting more and more stable as they grew older, but Cheng Yaojin seemed to be going backwards as he grew older. He could quarrel with a parrot for two days.
However... the most important thing at the moment was the entertainment method that Xu Mo talked about yesterday.
They all noticed the mahjong on the table in the deepest part of the store.
"Is that the interesting thing the store owner talked about yesterday?" Li Jing couldn't help but think of the leaf play when he saw the cards. Is it a trick similar to the leaf play?
Xu Mo greeted them, sat down around them, and introduced the rules of mahjong: "This thing is called mahjong. The rules are not complicated. At the beginning, everyone draws thirteen cards. Starting from the person who is the banker, draw a card and play a card..."
Cheng Yaojin didn't care about arguing with the parrot and quickly turned his head.
The rules of mahjong are not complicated.
What is touch, what is a bar, what is eating, and what is a flower supplement.
Out of respect for novices, he didn't introduce too complicated card types, but only talked about some simple winning card types. Advanced knowledge will be slowly unlocked later.
"It's very simple." Cheng Yaojin was full of confidence and waved his hand, "Shopkeeper, should we bring some prizes?"
Xu Mo said righteously: "Gambling is not good."
"How many families have been ruined by that thing."
Xiren nodded in agreement from behind, she was a victim.
Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin and others nodded with shame, especially Cheng Yaojin, who was about to take back what he had just said.
"But... we can use other things as chips." Xu Mo changed the subject and said, "If we don't bring any chips, it will be meaningless."
Cheng Yaojin raised his eyebrows and smiled happily: "Then what do you plan to use as chips?"
"Let's use small bread." Xu Mo said confidently, "The minimum for a round is one bag, and the maximum is ten bags. Let's just have fun."
Yuchi Jingde smiled and shook his head: "Shopkeeper, you have a good plan."
Xu Mo is the least at a loss when playing mahjong with bread as chips. If lose, I ll just give it away for free.
If I win, you can still buy it.
Anyway, the bread is not a valuable thing.
Xu Mo smiled and said, "My small shop can't compare with you big shops."
"If we win too much bread, can we exchange it for other things in the store?" Cheng Yaojin was full of confidence, and he didn't think he would lose at all.
Xu Mo nodded: "Yes, of course!"
Clap -
mahjong started.
The first round was not counted, it was used to get familiar with mahjong. From the initial chaos and lack of rules, they gradually became familiar with this game.
It is indeed more interesting than pitching pots.
The second round will start counting.
Cheng Yaojin was full of confidence. He won the last time, so he couldn't be worse than the last time, right? While thinking, he played a South Wind.
"Bang." His previous player Li Jing touched the South Wind.
Cheng Yaojin played another West Wind.
"Bang." This time it was Yuchi Jingde.
Cheng Yaojin's face became serious.
After a few rounds of playing cards, Cheng Yaojin examined the cards in his hand with satisfaction. As long as he got another eight-straight, he could win 250,000.
Thinking of this, he threw away the five-tube card that he didn't like.
"Hu."
Before he called out the flower of the card, Xu Mo raised his hand and took it, pushing down his own cards.
"Menqianqing, count as two times." Xu Mo separated the cards in his hand one by one, and said slowly, "Brother Ah Chou, two packs."
Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth.
A bad start!
It's okay, it's just two times. After shuffling the cards, Cheng Yaojin was still full of confidence in himself.
The second round.
It ended even more sloppily than the first round. After only three rounds of playing cards, Li Jing was hit by Cheng Yaojin again after touching Cheng Yaojin's cards.
Although there were not many points, Cheng Yaojin's heart skipped a beat after two consecutive shots. The three people at the table looked at Cheng Yaojin with somewhat hot eyes.
This...
Shancai Tongzi belongs to this.
They were playing cards here.
Duan Zhixuan's servant asked for directions all the way and shouted impatiently as soon as he entered the door: "Where is the store? I heard that you have a hot pot..."
He stopped abruptly before he finished speaking, and his eyes fell on the three people in the depths of the room.
The one who was so angry that his face turned red and he was arguing with a green bird... How could he look so much like Duke Lu.
And the one who stroked his beard and smiled, how could he look so much like Duke Dai. And the one... with a fierce look on his face and a ferocious smile, how could he look so much like Duke Wu.
"A Chou, I'm lucky again." Li Jing laughed happily.
Xu Mo also pushed his cards aside: "One shot and two hits, brother Ah Chou is really amazing, I have all the ace, four points."
Cheng Yaojin was indignant and pushed his cards aside: "You were just lucky this time, I almost got a clean sheet."
The three people looked at it carefully.
Eight strips, three flower cards, and two Wanzi.
Hmm... it is indeed very close to a clean sheet.
Hearing these voices, the servant shuddered. It was more than a resemblance, it was clearly the three dukes themselves!
He hurriedly walked up and prepared to greet the three dukes.
Cheng Yaojin glanced at him and felt that the man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was.
Li Jing recognized him, his face changed slightly, and he raised his index finger in front of his mouth.
This made the servant stunned, not letting him speak?
"Why are you here? Where is your master?" Li Jing asked, not giving the servant time to point out the identities of himself and the others, and he bit the word "Master" very hard.
