In his previous life, Zhao Yan, as an older single young man, had already practiced excellent cooking skills, not to mention making dumplings, and even he wanted to show off in front of Cao Ying, after all, in his opinion, Cao Ying was born in a big family, and in the words of later generations, she is the eldest lady, such a woman should not touch the spring water, let alone cook......

However, what Zhao Yan never expected was that Cao Ying's dumplings were even more beautiful than his ones, they were even and full, and the pleats on the sides looked like flowers, and what made Zhao Yan speechless was that Cao Ying was not only beautiful, but also fast, he only wrapped one column, but Cao Ying's subordinates had already appeared two columns of dumplings. In contrast, the worst of the three is the little bean sprouts, the dumplings are crooked, and none of them can see it, maybe the little meat cube is better than her bag when it climbs to the table.

"Hey, have you two mistaken identities, why are the little bean sprouts so badly wrapped, while you, the princess, are so beautiful?" Zhao Yan finally couldn't help but ask, now he doubts which one is the princess, Xiao Bean Sprouts or Cao Ying?

"Hehe, what's so strange about this, when the concubine is in the boudoir, cooking is one of the compulsory courses, as for the little bean sprouts, she doesn't have the time to learn these!" Cao Ying seemed to be a little disgusted at Zhao Yan's fuss, and smiled at him.

"Yes, yes, the fourth sister is amazing, whether it is cooking, female celebrity, piano art, financial management or calligraphy and painting, the other sisters in the family are not as good as the fourth sister, and the fourth sister also knows how to medicine, it can be said that there is no such excellent woman as the fourth sister in the whole city of Tokyo." Xiao Dou Sprouts also interjected at this time, she actually learned a lot of things in the Cao family, but there was no cooking skill among them, but this did not prevent her from becoming a foodie.

Zhao Yan was also a big sweat when he heard this, he didn't expect that the ancient ladies would have to learn so many things, no wonder most of those talented and beautiful women's novels regard the ladies as the first heroine, not only are they born well, but also received a good education in all aspects since childhood, so what do women do if they don't be heroines?

Amateur nature is not as good as professional, Zhao Yan finally estimated that only less than one-third of the dumplings were wrapped, and almost all of the rest were wrapped by Cao Ying, as for the small bean sprouts, her abstract dumplings were all made into a pot separately, and then rewarded to the little meat cube, this little guy grows quickly, and is not very picky, as long as there is meat, it likes to eat.

The dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork are unexpectedly delicious, of course, this may also be that Zhao Yan has not eaten meat for a long time, so he has an illusion in taste, but no matter which one it is, it makes Zhao Yan is appetite great, one person ate three bowls of dumplings in a row, and finally drank a bowl of dumpling soup mixed into sour soup to melt food, but at this time Zhao Yan felt that his stomach was about to burst, although the small bean sprouts were small, but the amount of food was not small, and the amount of food was not less than Zhao Yan, but Cao Ying's amount of food was still not large, and one person ate a bowl of vegetarian dumplings.

Dumplings eat too much, you must not go to sleep, otherwise it will cause indigestion, so Zhao Yan stayed in Cao Ying's room to chat with her, after all, the relationship also needs to be slowly cultivated by two people, only after a long time of contact and more understanding, can the two slowly trust each other, and even cultivate a tacit understanding between husband and wife.

However, just chatting was a little boring, and finally Cao Ying suddenly said, "Husband, why don't we play elephant play?" ”

"Elephant play?" Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this name, and then remembered after a while that the so-called Xiangxi was actually Xiangqi, and the Xiangqi in the Northern Song Dynasty seemed to be somewhat different from the Xiangqi of later generations, but on the whole, it was very similar to the Xiangqi of later generations.

"Okay, it's idle anyway, but don't cry if you lose!" Zhao Yan also wanted to see what chess looked like in the Northern Song Dynasty, so he agreed.

Waiting until the little bean sprouts took a pair of chesspieces made of sandalwood and put them in place, Zhao Yan finally showed the difference between the chess in the Northern Song Dynasty and the later generations, only to see that there were no soldiers on both sides of the chessboard, but two chess pieces were partial and two, and there were two chess pieces on the chessboard, and there were also cannons on the chessboard, but this cannon does not mean artillery, but on behalf of trebuchets, after all, the artillery of the Northern Song Dynasty has not yet been revealed, and I am afraid that only Zhao Yan and his son know what artillery is in this world.

In fact, the rules and gameplay of chess in the Northern Song Dynasty were not uniform, in the period of Zhao Yan's time, there were three kinds of chess games with great influence, namely elephant play, baby elephant play and Seven Kingdoms elephant play, among which elephant play is the oldest and is also the most traditional way to play, but there are more chess pieces, and it is a little complicated to play. The little elephant play is the kind of chess in front of Zhao Yan's eyes, which is almost not much different from the chess of later generations. As for the Seven Kingdoms Elephant Opera, it is Sima Guang who is idle and has nothing to do himself, and the legend is that seven people can play together, and many new types of chess pieces have been added, but it is more complicated to play, so it has not spread, only because Sima Guang's official work is big and famous, so it has been recorded.

In line with the principle of ladies first, Zhao Yan let Cao Ying take the red son first, but unfortunately Zhao Yan forgot, he was a stinky chess basket in his previous life, and now even if he travels to the Song Dynasty, his chess skills still have not made much progress, on the other hand, Cao Ying, usually when she is in the boudoir, also likes to play chess, plus she is smart by nature, and her chess skills are extraordinary, it is almost effortless to deal with a stinky chess basket like Zhao Yan, and just after only a dozen steps at the beginning, Zhao Yan showed that he was checkmated.

The reason why the stinky chess basket is called the stinky chess basket is that in addition to poor chess skills, most of them are not self-aware, thinking that their chess skills are not bad, and even think that the reason why the opponent can win them is because they are not careful enough, and they can definitely win back in the next game.

Zhao Yan is obviously such a stinky chess basket, so he was not reconciled after losing the first game, and immediately pulled Cao Ying to continue, and as a result, Zhao Yan lost ten games, and Cao Ying was really a little unbearable in the eleventh game, so he deliberately let Zhao Yan, and finally Zhao Yan used the method of spelling, and finally put Cao Ying's car and horse artillery together, and then crossed the river with a few pawns, and the left and right generals finally put Cao Ying to death.

"Haha, I finally won, you are not allowed to cry!" When Zhao Yan saw Cao Ying admit defeat, he immediately jumped up happily and cheered, and the depression just now was also swept away, as if he was not the one who had lost ten games of chess in a row before. For Zhao Yan's expression, Cao Ying couldn't cry or laugh, if he hadn't deliberately let him, with Zhao Yan's chess skills, I am afraid that he would lose a hundred games, and even the little bean sprouts next to him, his chess skills would definitely be better than him.

Zhao Yan's chess quality is very poor, he won't play again after winning a game, so as not to let Cao Ying win back, Cao Ying glared at Zhao Yan angrily, and at the same time couldn't cry or laugh even more, where does Zhao Yan look like a county king now, just like a child. It's still too early now, the key is that Zhao Yan lost too fast just now, it didn't take much time to finish the ten plates, and the dumplings in his stomach didn't digest much.

"Since my husband doesn't want to play elephant opera anymore, why don't we play Go?" Cao Ying mentioned again that she played better Go, and this time she made up her mind not to let Zhao Yan anymore, lest he play tricks again.

"This ......" Zhao Yan's chess is bad enough, as for Go, he only knows a little bit of the rules, and he has never played it, it is estimated that against a talented lady like Cao Ying, he will definitely be killed. In addition, the little bean sprouts next to her are already a little drowsy, she eats no less than Zhao Yan, and falling asleep like this will definitely hurt her stomach, so it's best to play a game where the little bean sprouts can also participate.

"There it is!" Zhao Yan suddenly patted his head and said to Cao Ying excitedly, "Go is too brain-consuming, let's play a casual game, I know that there is a game called poker, which can be played by many people, the two of us and the little bean sprouts can just come to play the landlord." ”

"Playing cards? Fighting landlords? Cao Ying really couldn't figure out what these two names meant.

"Playing cards are a tool for playing games, there are many ways to play, and fighting the landlord is one of the most classic!" Zhao Yan explained, while running to the small study next to Cao Ying's living room, found a relatively thick piece of paper, and then cut it into fifty-four sheets with scissors, as for painting, it is his old profession, although the brush is not used to it, but drawing a playing card is a piece of cake.

Cao Ying looked at Zhao Yan's actions, and his eyes also showed curiosity, and later personally helped Zhao Yan to study ink, and after the fifty-four playing cards were drawn, Zhao Yan laughed and said: "Okay, you can also come over with little bean sprouts, and we will play the landlord together." ”

The little bean sprouts who were dozing opened her big confused eyes at this time, it seemed that she didn't know what Zhao Yan told her to do? At this time, Zhao Yan threw the playing cards in his hand on the table, and said arrogantly: "Let's play the landlord, today this prince is going to kill the Quartet today!" ”

Seeing Zhao Yan's appearance, the little bean sprouts were immediately scared awake, but Cao Ying pursed her lips and chuckled, at the moment Zhao Yan briefly introduced the playing cards, and then explained the rules of fighting the landlord, Cao Ying was very smart, and learned it after a while, although the little bean sprouts were a little stupid, but after Zhao Yan accompanied them to try a game, they also quickly mastered the gameplay of fighting the landlord.

Compared with chess, the playing cards are varied, and they are relatively simple, at least not as brain-consuming as chess, which can be said to be a casual game suitable for all ages, so Cao Ying and Xiaodou Sprouts soon became obsessed with fighting landlords.

When Mi Xue came back from Cao's house, it was almost midnight, and before she could report the cabbage seeds to Zhao Yan, she was pulled into the poker club by Zhao Yan and the three of them, this time Zhao Yan made another deck of playing cards, and then the four of them played double liters, and as a result, Cao Ying's three daughters were more and more happy, and unconsciously played all night, until the sky was slightly bright, they couldn't support the yawn one by one, and then went back to sleep, but when Zhao Yan woke up, he found that he had returned to the courtyard outside the city, And there was one more trouble to wait for him to solve.
