Chapter 782: Pai Gow

Liu Ji and Qin Feng took the firecrackers to the door to set them off.

Their family was the first to eat in Kuanzhengfang.

As soon as the firecrackers sounded, the rest of the neighbors rushed to sound the firecrackers.

Amid the noise, Ma Yang stood up with a wine glass, took a deep breath with deep emotion, and said:

"Thousands of words are in the wine, I won't say anything mushy, this year I can spend New Year's Eve with you, it is really the greatest blessing in my life."

"Master Liu!" Ma Yang toasted Liu Ji: "I wish we can all be on the list in the spring exam tomorrow!"

Liu Ji liked to hear this, picked up the wine glass and drank it with Ma Yang.

After the two sat down again, the New Year's Eve banquet officially began.

They were all ordinary people, not so concerned about the rules, everyone relaxed and ate and drank, and spoke freely.

Yin Le's bayberry wine was still a little intoxicating. The four brothers and sisters of Dalang curiously tasted a few more mouthfuls. At first, they only felt sour, but after tasting it, they felt sweet.

Then, without realizing it, he drank a big bowl.

When the adults on Qin Yao's side noticed the snoring under the table, they looked down and found that Erlang, Sanlang, and Si Niang had all fallen asleep under the table.

Only Dalang, who was dizzy, was trying to save his younger brothers and sisters.

But there were countless brothers and sisters in front of him, and when he reached out to grab them, they were all air.

Such a funny scene made everyone laugh.

Liu Ji slapped his thigh, "All of them are embarrassing things!"

But he had to call Awang and Yin Le to pull the children up.

For fear that they would get cold, they were all arranged on the big couch in the flower hall next door, burning charcoal and opening half of the small window.

Yangmei wine is not really intoxicating, and you will wake up after sleeping for about half an hour.

The family will have to stay up at night.

In previous years, Qin Yao felt a little bored staying up in the village. After midnight, they set off firecrackers, burned incense, and fell asleep.

Anyway, they have no elders to control them, so they can do whatever they want.

Qin Feng did not allow everyone to go to sleep this time. He asked Chunzao to bring a box and said to everyone mysteriously:

"With the treasures in this box, I promise you will not want to sleep at all tonight and will keep your eyes open until dawn."

After that, under the curious eyes of everyone, he opened the box and poured it on the square table.

There was a pleasant sound of jade colliding, and everyone looked at it in surprise. It was a small rectangular jade block.

There were also patterns engraved on the jade block, and the red and green patterns were drawn with colored dyes.

Except for Qin Yao who showed an unexpected expression, the rest of the people looked at Qin Feng curiously.

Liu Ji asked: "Uncle, what is this?"

Qin Feng laughed and said: "This is Pai Gow, the way to play is exquisite and addictive!"

Qin Yao thought to himself, isn't this the quintessence of Chinese culture, mahjong?

It looks the same, but it is really different from mahjong.

Qin Yao was not very interested and asked Yin Le to take his place at the table.

The remaining three were Qin Feng, Liu Ji and Ma Yang.

Qin Feng explained the rules and led everyone to walk three rounds, and everyone basically mastered them.

But the one who could play the game with fun was Liu Ji.

Yin Le and Ma Yang only felt that this game was very tiring because they had to guard against the previous player and the next player, and they had to count other people's cards.

Liu Ji felt that this game was born for him.

After three rounds, he had memorized all the cards.

He could roughly figure out what cards the other three players would have and what cards they would play with a little calculation on the card table.

In the following games, he was the first to win.

Yin Le shouted: "It's boring, I don't want to play anymore!"

Ma Yang was embarrassed to say it, but he also felt very tired. He felt even more sleepy after pushing the card nine.

Awang patted Ma Yang on the shoulder, "I'll do it."

He had just watched the game for a long time, and now he saw the trick.

Liu Ji suggested: "Why don't we add some bets? This way, winning or losing will be more interesting, what do you think, uncle?"

Qin Feng glanced at Liu Ji warily. In fact, the way to play Pai Gow is to add bets.

He didn't say it because everyone was a novice and it would be too exciting to add bets right away.

Unexpectedly, before he could say anything, Liu Ji, his cheap brother-in-law, "realized" it first.

Qin Feng was speechless for a moment, not knowing whether to say that his brother-in-law was smart or playful.

Qin Yao sat in Yin Le's seat and smiled slightly, "A small bet is fun, how about a penny?"

Awang responded immediately, staring at his master Liu Ji with shining eyes, and he was almost impatient.

Liu Ji glared back in warning, "One cent is fine."

Qin Feng laughed helplessly, "Then come on."

Fearing that Qin Yao didn't know the rules just now, he said, "Everyone accompany Yao Niang to play a round first, let her get familiar with it."

Qin Yao raised her hand: "No, I've seen it."

Qin Feng: "My sister is smart."

Everyone: "."

The card game officially began.

Qin Feng and Awang sat east and west.

Qin Yao and Liu Ji sat north and south, with people between the couple.

Although he knew that his sister would not necessarily feed cards to her cheap brother-in-law.

But there is no family affection at the card table, Qin Feng still ruthlessly separated the two, just in case.

However, in the following card game, except for the first hand where Awang won first.

The remaining seven consecutive hands were all won by Qin Yao.

At first, Qin Yao thought that her natural luck was annoying and that her luck was too good today.

But after winning five games in a row, she was a little flustered.

At the seventh hand, she glanced at Liu Ji inadvertently.

I found that this guy was looking at me with one hand on his chin, laughing wildly, and flicking a card with his finger seemingly casually.

Qin Yao was surprised to find that she could get this card.

But Liu Ji's next family is Ngawang, and she can only have Ngawang if he can't afford it.

But the surprise is that Awang really doesn't want it.

No surprise, Qin Yao won again.

Liu Ji especially cheered: "Madam, you are so amazing! You must be the best in the world!"

Qin Yao coughed twice, suppressing the corners of her mouth that couldn't help but want to raise, and came to the eighth game.

This time she still won.

Looking at Liu Ji's wild smile, Qin Yao should understand even if she is a fool - this guy has been helping her win cards!

Liu Ji is in a high mood, he is happy when his wife is happy, hehe~

"Come again, come again!" He took the initiative to greet his uncle and Awang, who had lost their confidence.

A small card game can make your wife happy, so why not do it.

Awang frowned, suddenly dismissed Liu Jijia's good cards, and asked:

"how did you do that?"

Qin Feng was confused: "What? What's wrong?"

You only have a penny, but you can’t even afford this?

Did his sister treat Awang so harshly?

Obviously, things are not that simple.

Awang pointed at the smiling Liu Ji and said firmly: "He cheated."

Liu Ji said seriously: "I didn't."

How could it be considered cheating if he let his wife win the card based on his ability?

Awang: "You do!"

Qin Yao coughed twice and stood up awkwardly: "I'm tired, who of you will take my place?"

Yin Le raised his hands actively: "Master, me, me, me!"

She found it boring when she had no money just now, but now she is particularly interested.

Qin Yao nodded and withdrew.

Before withdrawing, he glanced at Liu Ji.

You kid, you can do it!

Liu Ji's breath shortened, and a blush crept up to the tips of his ears unconsciously. He felt that his heart was sweeter than drinking honey.

"Hehe. Hehe" with a silly smile.

A Wang, who finally caught a good deck of cards, shouted excitedly: "Master, it's your turn to play your cards!"

Liu Jide was so excited that all the charm in his heart disappeared, and only Awang's excited smile remained in front of him.

Liu Ji took a deep breath. He couldn't beat him, he could only outwit him.

Then let him, the old man, put more effort into spending the private money of this incomprehensible single and prosperous man! (End of chapter)
