Chapter 25 Playing mahjong and setting off fireworks(1/2)
Roll dice, draw cards, play cards, Xu Qilin talks while playing, and learns in actual operations!
There were squeaking cards, 10,000, three, and eight-tube shouts. After a few moves, the three of them almost figured out their playing style. Although they were not as skilled as Xu Qilin and had scams from time to time, this excitement was not comparable to hidden hooks or something.
Xu Qilin didn't play money either. He just learned it, but he gambled when he came up, which was a bit unauthentic. Anyway, he just wanted to have fun, and he had nothing to do when he was idle.
But over time, the other three gradually figured out the tricks and felt the fun. As for mahjong, the national treasure, the movement that combines intelligence, fun and game, has rich charm and connotation.
"Touch!" Xu Qiqiu snatched Xu Qilin's card and raised an eyebrow at him.
Hey, it's quite annoying! Although you're touching, you're slow enough to react. I waited for a while before shouting "eat"?
Xu Qilin rolled his eyes secretly and asked you to let you down. Who told you to be a brother? Who told you not to be a gambling person?
After touching the cards, Xu Qiqiu was obviously very proud and played one casually. The drawer smiled and knocked down the card, "Dalang, I'm sorry."
Xu Qilin laughed twice with gloating. Xu Qiqi blinked his eyes and checked the butler's card, but found that he was fine.
At some point, the woman playing with hidden hooks came over there, sitting or standing, watching the battle behind the four of them. It was obvious that she was attracted by the excitement here.
Xu Qilin turned around and looked at it. Scarlett was naturally beside him, so he played cards while explaining the rules.
Xiao Zhao stared behind the elder brother with big eyes looking at the cards. Listening to the second brother's explanation, he quickly understood the general and became more and more interested.
Xu Qiqi picked up a card and hesitated whether to play it.
Xiao Zhao reminded: "Brother, Mr. Zhao and second brother have both drawn cards. You don't have this card outside, so you have to be careful."
Xu Qiqi thought about it and thought it made sense, so he changed the card and played it out.
The accountant Mr. Lao Zhao reached out to touch the card, and joy immediately appeared on his old face. Haha, he pushed down the card, "I touch it myself."
Xiao Zhaoba looked at it and immediately became proud and said, "Brother, look, if you lose that card, you didn't play it, Mr. Zhao will just miss it!"
Xu Qiqi smiled and nodded, praising: "My little sister is smart. After just looking at it for a while, she understood the tricks."
Xiao Zhao was even more proud and said to Xu Qilin: "Brother, do you still have this card? Let's go to the table next to you to play."
Xu Qilin hurriedly nodded and said, "There is also a pair of ordinary wood in the cabinet in my study."
Xiao Zhao immediately jumped out of the chair and trotted to Xu Qilin's room to get it.
"Have you learned it?" Xu Qilin turned his head and looked at Scarlett, and smiled, "It doesn't matter if you are not familiar with it, it's not a big deal."
Scarlett smiled and nodded, saying, "If the little lady wants to play, I will naturally accompany her. If you don't fight well, you won't be beaten, right?"
"Being beaten-" Xu Qilin teased deliberately: "That might be possible."
Xiao Zhao came out with a mahjong box in his arms and greeted Mrs. Zheng, Scarlett and Ajiani came to play mahjong, right on the table next to Xu Qilin and the others.
This is great. I am not very skilled at first. I made mistakes, which not only made jokes, but also asked Xu Qilin questions from time to time.
"Brother, is it okay to have the first nine in the card? If you want to mess with the first nine?"
"Alang, there are three equal talents to be confused, right?"
"Brother, you can't change the draw anymore, right?"
"Xu Lang, can I have a card left in my hand?"
…………………
While playing cards, Xu Qilin had to answer very strange questions. He couldn't concentrate and dared not mention gambling.
Fortunately, it was lively, joyful, and crackling sounds mixed with card-playing calls. The battle in this city was really exciting, and it was not easy to stop playing.
Wu Song, Lu Da and others were not idle either, so they got together to drink and brag. They were so happy that they jumped around the fire, howling and howling.
"Everyone, let me see you new firecrackers." Wu Shengling's face turned red with a drink. Somehow he took out a few gunpowder firecrackers made by Xu Qilin to show off.
The firecrackers of the Tang Dynasty were really firecrackers. They threw the bamboo poles they bought before the New Year into the fire. The bamboo joints were hollowed out and were blown up by the fire to make crackling sounds, bursting out small sparks.
"Your firecrackers are too thin, how could there be any sound?" A servant smiled foolishly and expressed suspicion, obviously he was a little drunk.
"Hey, what do you know?" Wu Song shook the firecrackers in his hand, and teased with his eyes slanted, "This was done by Alang. When he was in Dizhu Mountain, he could blow the stones to fly."
As he said that, he took Ludanu's chin and said, "Luda, you have seen it, are you right?"
Lu Da nodded repeatedly, and signaled others to stand back, saying, "This is awesome game, with a loud noise, it can break the firewood, don't hit it."
"Is it that evil?" Some servants still didn't believe it, stood by the fire and looked at Wu Song with drunken eyes.
Wu Song didn't know how powerful this firecracker was, after all, it was the first time he had released it. Seeing someone pretending to be brave, he was embarrassed to pretend to be cowardly and stay away.
However, this guy was also more careful and threw the firecrackers as thick as fingers in his hand into the fire, but it was a little far away from him.
Firecrackers entered the fire, and everyone was watching. After a moment, there was a loud bang, firewood flew everywhere, and sparks burst.
The guy who disagreed was unlucky. The burning firewood flew over and hit him, and his head was also hit. He was stunned by the loud noise. He was stunned for a while before screaming, rolling and crawling away from the fire.
Everyone also reacted and rushed forward to help. Fortunately, it was not a big deal, but there was a little skin on their heads and several holes in their clothes were burned.
Now, most of the guys' wine was awake. They looked at each other with strange faces, either frightened or scared, and couldn't speak for a while.
The mahjong in the room was playing in full swing. The sudden sound scared Xu Qilin and others, and they ran out to observe.
"This, a Lang--" Wu Song took two steps forward with guilt and embarrassment, handing over the firecrackers in his hand, so that Xu Qilin could see clearly, without saying anything more.
Xu Qilin rolled his eyes. He was going to wait for midnight to beat drums or drums, or tomorrow morning to call everyone to listen to the sound and see what’s new.
But this guy took it out in advance, which scared everyone. It seemed that the firecrackers with a thick finger were still a bit violent, and the amount of medicine should be reduced, or the ratio should be changed.
In fact, Xu Qilin didn't think about it carefully, just based on the later generations' estimates. But he forgot that Ma Leizi didn't contain much medicine, and the layers of paper wrapped around the outside are covered with layers.
"Is this a firecracker?" Xu Qiqi looked at the thin rod, surprised and didn't believe it. "Just like this thin one, it made such a loud noise?"
Xu Qilin laughed twice, since he was out, let’s play a few and listen to the noise and make a lot of fun.
"Everyone is far away, let's set a few new firecrackers." Xu Qilin greeted everyone to stay away from the fire, and pointed at Wu Song again, "Don't you like to set it up, you've given this job to you."
Wu Song felt relieved when he saw that Ah Lang was not angry and laughed. He just set off firecrackers. We have experience and stood far away and threw them into the fire.
Everyone retreated under the eaves, and their expressions were still a little nervous. They were all in the house just now, and the momentum was even more amazing when they were outside?
The servants became honest and looked at Wu Song under the steps, and some were ready to cover their ears.
But Wu Song didn't think it was a hard worker, and he felt like he was paying attention to it. He raised his chest and raised his head, but he was still crazy.
I saw this guy figured out the distance, threw the firecrackers into the fire with force, and it was falling in the middle of the fire. Then, he walked away calmly, with a calm expression on his face.
Boom! A ball of light rose from the fire, firewood and bamboo chips flew up, and countless Mars splashed in the smoke, like stars.
After everyone was stunned, they laughed and clapped their hands, and they all felt that this was much more satisfying than burning ordinary bamboo. It was both sound and light, and the effect was amazing.
"Let it go again, let it go again." Xiao Zhao jumped and urged, but immediately reached out to pull the brother's sleeve, thinking that this would be safer.
"Here!" Wu Song responded loudly, turned around and threw out another one.
There were constant noises and sparks. People gradually adapted to the movement and became afraid, and they only felt that the play was amazing and enjoyable to put it on. The laughter in the yard was cheerful and cheering.
"No?" Xiao Zhao saw Wu Song stop and his hands were empty, and he looked at the old man with unfulfilled desire.
Xu Qilin touched the little sister's head and smiled and said, "Don't worry, there are some better ones."
As he said that, he ordered Wu Sheng to take out the prepared pedicle and put it in as much as possible.
In later generations, Xu Qilin once saw the pediatrics made by rural children before the New Year.
This kind of earthen flowerbed is usually made of mud, which is a hollow round table with a small top and a large bottom. The top is poked with iron wire to dry and dry, or burn it under a large pot, and it is finished.
Then, the anthers bought from the market are usually mixed with gunpowder and iron foam, and then separated by layers of paper and put them on the flower table.
The children are busy installing greens during the day, and putting greens at night to watch the greens. They are busy all day long, and every day is so happy and so happy...
Wu Song took out a box, which contained fireworks made of thick bamboo tubes. He had never seen this game before, so he took out one and looked at it, thinking that it should be a medicine twist on it.
But the medicine twist is a bit short. If such a big guy gets blown up, it will be even more powerful. Before the person can run a few steps, he may be blown up.
Xu Qilin saw the guy's hesitation and smiled and said, "This is not firecrackers, it is fireworks. It will not ring or collapse." As he said that, he came to the scene in person and prepared to make a demonstration.
"Qi Lin, don't take risks." Xu Qiqi raised his hand to stop him.
"Don't worry, it's okay." Xu Qilin ran over with a smile.
He was already very entertained, picked up one and put it on the open space, ran to the fire and pulled out a long firewood, went forward and lit the lead.
Accompanied by a string of small sparks, the burning leads extended into the bamboo tube. Everyone watched with a look, and some people had already covered their ears and waited for the deafening loud noise.
But unexpectedly, the big guy did not explode, but spewed out Mars, more and more, higher and higher, mixed with gorgeous colors such as gold, blue, and green.
Xu Qilin did not make any pattern for the fireworks to spray out, but added some iron powder, copper powder, and metal salt. Although it was a bit messy, the colorful spray of flowers still made people who had never seen it feel beautiful and gorgeous.
"This is called fireworks, it looks good, doesn't sound, and there is no danger." Xu Qilin walked over and explained with a smile to everyone.
"What a good look!" Xiao Zhao's face was full of surprise, and he pointed at Huan, "Red, purple, golden..."
Although there are no professionals who spray high in fireworks and no patterns, the fire trees and silver flowers are colorful and still dazzling and stunning.
It took more than a minute for the fireworks to be finished. Wu Song had already had the idea of making a mistake and refused to miss this opportunity to show off and took all the work below.
Anyway, Xu Qilin didn't do much, and it was all put out in a total of about ten minutes.
Everyone felt unsatisfied, and Xiao Zhao even pulled his brother to do more.
"Put it on Zhengyuan Festival, do more." Xu Qilin sniffed and said casually.
