Chapter 104: Ma Zi (Fourth Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
It was too cold to melt the snow, and it was overcast outside, and the lead clouds were hanging low, and they were about to hit the ground. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In this kind of weather, everyone tries to cat at home, when there is no fire kang in the past, everyone will have a raw pond at home, and then a group of people huddle together to roast the fire, and chat with them.
Whenever this time comes, it is also the time that can best reflect who has a good family. If the fire pit of any house is crowded with people, then the owner of this house must be a good person who can talk. If someone has an average family relationship, then his family will inevitably be cold. And those families who are burning are generally also families with many children, and they are also diligent people.
You have to burn a lot of firewood to bake a fire, and even if you don't need money for firewood in the countryside, you have to have strength.
This year is different, though.
This winter, most of the villagers in Zhangjiagou found work in Zhangjia. Even those old men, old ladies and children who didn't do work for the Zhang family are no longer at home.
Zhang's steaming room has become the best place to go, and there are many large stoves where the noodles are steamed every day. Everyone brings some needlework and thread, sits in front of the stove, can bake the fire, chat at the same time, and sew a piece of clothing or something by the way.
You don't even have to go home at noon, take a few nests, put them on the stove to heat up when it's time to eat, and then go to the kitchen to get two bowls of free bone broth to drink, and this meal will be beautiful. It is said that the father and son of the Zhang family are really good people, generous and benevolent.
When everyone comes to the steam room to roast the fire, they will not stop them, and even provide everyone with free bone broth to drink, so you can be full. And after the noodles are steamed every day in the steaming room, the hot water in the cauldron also allows everyone to go home at will.
Those little children in the village don't have to be blue and have runny noses in the winter.
Zhang Chao also likes the liveliness of the steam room, which is much more comfortable than staying alone on the kang in the cave. It's too lonely to stay alone in the cave, there is no broadband and no wifi, there is simply no everything. There was no TV signal, no radio signal, no laptop and cell phone.
Although Zhang Chao still has a solar charger, this thing charges too slowly, and it is very inconvenient to be discovered. Especially these days, it is often rainy or even rainy and snowy, and it is difficult to recharge.
It is difficult for Zhang Chao to even want to read a book, and Zhang Jiagou can't find a book at all.
Others can also beat children on rainy days, and they are idle, Zhang Chao has no children, and he can't beat if he wants to. At night, for a long night, others can blow out the lamp and make love with their mother-in-law, and Zhang Chao has no daughter-in-law.
Later generations often said that the Internet alienates people.
Zhang Chao now thinks that this is super right, with the Internet, people are immersed in the Internet, making friends on the Internet, the Internet is becoming more and more developed, and people can meet almost all their needs on the Internet, whether it is social or anything else.
But in the Tang Dynasty, without wifi, it was equivalent to losing the whole world.
Zhang Chao can only return to this real society, if he doesn't communicate with people, then he will become the loneliest person.
But all day long, chatting with a group of old men, old men and little kids, I get tired of it for a long time, and I really don't have any common topics.
"Lian'er, let's play cards!"
The stove fire was big and it was very comfortable to bake, but it was also boring. Zhang Chao smiled at the Lian'er sisters beside him, although Qi Niang has not passed the door yet, but the six rites have completed the five rites, and the date is set, only to wait for the new cellar to be built and officially welcome the relatives.
Therefore, now Lian'er and Lan'er are also Zhang Chao's sisters.
The two girls now live a much better life than before, and they no longer have to follow their mother to help make a living in the village shop, and they don't have to wash dishes and do things. The dress is also much better, and the two girls are now making female celebrities every day, which is also to prepare for marriage. An excellent girl must be a good woman.
However, the two girls don't seem to be talented in this aspect, watching them embroider a pillowcase and a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water, but they embroider two little fat ducks to fight.
"What's the fight, the fast running away or the landlord?" Lan'er is younger, so she still loves to play, and as soon as she heard about playing cards, she immediately put down the needle and thread in her hand.
"Call the landlord, it's just the three of us."
Yesterday, Zhang Chaoxian was bored, so he made a deck of playing cards with thin pieces of wood, and he pulled his two sisters to play for a long time, and the two girls have learned it, and they both like this game.
"Brother caught the flop, do you want to call the landlord?" Lan'er looked at a good hand of cards in her hand and looked at Zhang Chao with a smile.
Zhang Chao glanced at the cards in his hand, not a single flower card, no big or small landlords, just a few straights, and broken in the middle, this must not be called.
"No."
When Lan Niang heard this, she couldn't wait to say, "Call the landlord." ”
Lian'er looked at the cards in her hand, "There is a big landlord, and there are a pair of two, three bears and a pair of leopards, good cards." ”
"Grab the landlord."
Lan Niang glared at her sister unhappily, and then pouted, "I'll grab it again." ”
"Alright, you've got it." Zhang Chao smiled and said to Lan'er, the landlord can be called three times, and now there is no doubt that Lan'er has successfully grabbed the landlord.
Three hole cards are turned over, one two, two wolves, and not bad cards.
The cards made by Zhang Chao are actually similar to those of playing cards, but with some minor changes. Ancient China has long had cards, but it is a leaf card, more complicated, there are all kinds of animals and beasts, etc., it is said that as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, after the changes of the dynasties, a deck of cards has dozens of cards.
However, Zhang Chao felt that the card was more complicated, or the playing card was simpler, so he directly made the playing card, but also made some changes.
The big and small kings were changed to large and small landlords.
jqk was changed to wolf, leopard and bear, originally Zhang Chao wanted to use ******, but think about it, the dragon can't be used indiscriminately. And the tiger is guilty again, Li Yuan's grandfather is called Li Hu. After Li Yuan became the emperor, but all kinds of evasions, in the future, the Tiger Prison Pass will be changed to Wu Prison Pass, the Tiger Benlang will be changed to the Wu Benlang General, and even the tiger and the people will be renamed the big worm. This is like after Li Shimin became the emperor, there will be no Ministry of Civil Affairs in the future, but the Ministry of Households.
Although the tiger word has not been fully avoided yet, Zhang Chao feels that it is better to avoid it in advance.
In ancient times, it was very strict to avoid the emperor, and the names of their parents had to be avoided.
Even the tiger has to be renamed the big worm, and the tiger must feel very wronged and innocently lie down.
Even the toilet is very innocent, the original name of the person was Huzi, but because of the offense, it was changed to Mazi, and later, it was simply changed to a toilet.
Huzi was originally a night pot with a long mouth, and the man could get up at night and face it directly at that mouth. Later, it was changed to Ma Zi, and then later, everyone called his girlfriend Ma Zi.
Holding the grass, Zhang Chao suddenly discovered that the origin of the word horse is like this, what a good image.
In short, the tiger character was a crime in the Tang Dynasty and should be avoided as much as possible.
Zhang Chao didn't plan to make a big worm on his playing cards, and when he played cards, he shouted, a pair of leopards, and someone else said a pair of big worms and crushed them to death. Ouch, it's so inappropriate.
I still went to Longhu and changed it to a bear, leopard and wolf.
As for the big king, the little king, the big ghost, and the little ghost, it was directly changed to a big landlord and a small landlord.
The others are the same, there are also four colors such as square plum blossoms, and there are two, three, four, and five.
Even the rules of fighting landlords are the same, but they are not called landlords but landlords.
Zhang Chao and Lianlan sisters robbed the landlord and brought money. The bottom of a penny, and then according to the multiple, grab a double, fried one also doubled, and even the following three hole cards, if there is a landlord also have to double, what straight flush and the like have to double.
In short, playing this card is a test of arithmetic ability.
The old men and ladies weren't very interested in it, but the little ones were fond of watching. I have to say that people are smart, especially those children, who have never read books. But after only two days of Zhang Chao playing cards, he has been able to recognize all the Arabic numerals from two to ten, and he can also recognize all four suits, and even the rules of fighting the landlord have almost been learned.
When playing cards, these children always like to point and give advice on the side.
"Hit two and eat her."
Zhang Chao listened to the words of the military advisor next to him and made a two, but Lan'er immediately threw off two cards.
"King Fried."
"Ouch, the rocket is in the air."
"San Lang, what is a rocket?"
"Arrows with fire."
"Then why are the two lands mainly called Wang Bang?"
"Not for any reason."
Zhang Chao was a little troubled by this group of bear children, it was really a hundred thousand whys.
"Which of you can figure out how much money I was going to pay for this just now, then I'll reward him with a penny!"
"I know, Brother San Lang is out of eight cents, Sister Lan'er is the landlord, this one is doubled, and ten cents is in."
"Wrong, the hole cards are all clubs, and the flush should be doubled."
A bunch of kids were very active there.
"Dog, tell me, how much do I have to give?"
Goudan is a seven-year-old child, but he is the smartest of the group and has a great talent for mathematics.
"The bottom is divided into two pennies, Sister Lan called the landlord once, and then grabbed twice later, grabbed twice as much, grabbed twice as much, and then doubled the hole card with the flush, which is eight times. Sister Zai Lan has Wang Fang, double it again, it is a total of sixteen times, the bottom is divided into two Wen, Brother San Lang will produce 32 Wen, Sister Lian will also produce 32 Wen, and Sister Lan will enter 64 Wen. ”
Zhang Chao nodded with satisfaction, this dog is really smart, he hasn't read a book for a day, but he just pointed out a few times by himself, and he has this ability, genius.
Zhang Chao counted out thirty-two pennies for Lan'er, and then threw another penny to the dog, "Answer correctly, there is a prize." ”
"Thank you, Brother Saburo."
Looking at his elated appearance, Zhang Chao couldn't help but think that there were many young children in the village, and these children were not old enough to enter the workshop to do child labor, but they were already sensible. When the farm is busy, they also have to help with the fields, and when they are not working, they are responsible for taking care of their younger siblings.
It's a pity that I don't study every day, and when I grow up, I'm blind, and a smart and talented child like Dog Dan will definitely be buried in the future.
Zhangjiagou doesn't even have a private school, not even Bailu Township.
Maybe I should contribute some money to build a private school and give the children in Bailu Township a chance to read and write? When the private school is built, it can also train its own child laborers, and there is always a shortage of workers who can't read a single word.
As soon as the idea came to mind, it began to germinate. (To be continued.) )
