Anyone who has played mahjong knows that people who don’t know how to play mahjong have no interest in this activity. However, once they learn, play well, and then bring the lottery, they will never stop sleeping.

I remember seeing many pictures and videos in my previous life. Even if the children's shoes in China, especially in Sichuan, are flooding with heavy rain, they have to complete the mahjong game in their hands while sitting in the puddle. What kind of spirit is this?

I spent about an hour teaching the rules of these people, and another hour to make them familiar. By the third hour, it was around 2 o'clock at night. Yuan, Jiugui Zhengxiao and Qiao Hansheng had the ability to play normally, so we added lottery tickets based on free cards.

Everyone was even more interested! Yuan even rolled up her sleeves and put on a stance of fighting to the death! Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao and Qiao Hansheng were also killed, shouting not to leave, and the battle was decisive until dawn! I was dizzy! Why did this sound so familiar?

I played nearly twenty or thirty laps this night. From the beginning, I won more than I lost, and the winning rate became lower and lower. By the time the rooster dawned, everyone was almost equally divided!

I stretched my sleepy waist. Although I was dizzy and dizzy, my mentality was unprecedented in the past two years. This is also a kind of memorial to my previous life! Eating the frozen pear that Qiao Hansheng asked the back hall to wake up, I suddenly remembered my favorite ice cream when I stayed up late, especially the sundae! No, cone!

In an instant, my taste buds seemed to recall the sweetness that was so sweet that it was so sour that I couldn't taste it. I pushed the frozen pear away and complained, "There is no ice cream to eat!"

Yuan asked, "What is ice cream?"

I felt the scorching fire in the indoor fire, and then looked at the howling cold wind outside the window, feeling that the time to tell them that the ice cream method was ripe, so I stopped him when Qiao Hansheng was shuffling the cards and said with a smile: "Old Qiao, thank you for your hard work, let the kitchen give us a new thing!"

Since seeing the mahjong I made, Qiao Hansheng has become interested in the new things I mentioned, and immediately stood up and said, "Young Master, you said! I'll do it!"

I asked him to take a pen and record it on the spot, not to mention milk, fruit, egg, starch, etc., the only thing that made me scratch my head was how to solve the problem of cream. Suddenly I remembered the post I had seen online before, turning milk into cream. I didn’t know whether it was good or not, but I thought I could give it a try, so I said so.

I said it for more than ten minutes, Qiao Hansheng remembered it for more than ten minutes, and after he understood the meaning, he hurried away. In his heart, when he was not young, he was suddenly awakened by the "new thing" of this magical young master.

When the game was over again, I calculated that it was six o'clock! After losing a game, I pushed the cards in a mess and shouted to sleep! In the midst of the shouts of "Sir," "Qi Lan," he and the substitute, "There is no longer a warning."

When I returned to my house, I didn’t wash my face and brush my teeth, and I just slept with my head on my head after taking off my shoes.

Sure enough, after sleeping for more than two hours, I was woken up by Qiao Hansheng. It was very simple. According to the customs of the Ming Dynasty, on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the officials in Beijing wanted to pay New Year's greetings together. So before eight o'clock, the gate of the courtyard was opened by the team who came to pay New Year's greetings! The leader was not someone else, but the chief minister of the current dynasty, my second uncle Zhang Juzheng.

The old man smiled and entered the yard, followed by a large number of officials, including Wang Guoguang, Minister of Rites, Li Zaixing, Minister of War, and the stubborn old man Hai Rui. A large number of officials in Beijing came in, and the voices of blessings were heard.

Zhang Juzheng looked at me, just smiled and said something blessing. He was in public, and he couldn't say too much, so he took the lead in walking into the main hall. Qiao Hansheng had already set up a large table in the main hall with good rice paper on it according to his priorities.

Zhang Juzheng took the lead and picked up the brush he had prepared long ago, and wrote seven words in the middle of the rice paper: "Ten Thousand Horses Are Rising" above, but his name is "Zhang Juzheng" below.

This is the custom of New Year's greetings in the Ming Dynasty. There is no such money or gift. Let's write a word or a name, even if it's a New Year's greetings! After several acquaintances finished writing, they were going to come over to say goodbye to my master. Just as they were about to talk, they suddenly heard the "crackling" sound in the backyard, and men and women screamed excitedly or depressedly!

Zhang Juzheng showed a strange expression on his face and asked me with his eyes, what is this for?

I knew he would have misunderstood, and said with a smile: "This is a gadget I invented, called mahjong, which is very interesting. I guess the family members decided the winner and the defeat, so they shouted!"

Li Zaixing came over and smiled and said, "Sincerei, Qi Lan has the most ideas. He said it was interesting, so it must be interesting. Let's go and have a look!"

Zhang Juzheng smiled and looked at me, meaning, is it convenient?

I smiled bitterly and shook my head, and made a gesture to the backyard.

So a few old acquaintances brought a group of half-familiar officials into the backyard of Wenhai Pavilion. Buhui and others immediately stopped the things in their hands, and the three tables stood up one after another! - In the past half day, the finished mahjong product had successfully changed from one pair to three pieces, which is the power of the masses!

Zhang Juzheng smiled and bowed, "I wish you all a happy New Year! Today is a big festival, so we don't know the difference. Let's continue to play!"

Buhui and others turned their eyes to me. I suddenly had an idea in my mind, so I took the lead in sitting in a corner of the table and said, "Don't stand stupidly, fight!"

They saw that I didn't care, so they didn't care, so men and women returned to the table to see, and the Great Wall started to scribbling again! I gave Qiao Hansheng a wink, and Qiao Hansheng immediately understood that the seats were moved in for the officials to sit in a short while. Qiao Hansheng was still following Zhang Juzheng, constantly explaining the principles of mahjong.

These Ming Dynasty officials were controlled like sons by regulations and regulations, and had never seen such interesting things. After watching a few games and listening to the explanation, several people could not hold back and would fight to the end.

But the mahjong table does not talk about the old and the family affection. Since ancient times, there has been no father and son on the gambling table. These officials have become more and more likely to lose a few taels of taels of silver. They don’t frown at all, but they feel more and more and more.

Due to the identity of the prime minister, Zhang Juzheng naturally would not leave the table in public. Hai Rui, the old stubborn, felt itchy when he looked at it, but he was usually used to it and was embarrassed to launch it. So he watched the crowds' lively fighting, and saw that at eleven o'clock, half of the officials in the capital did not pay New Year's greetings! Hai Rui reminded Zhang Juzheng in his ear.

When Zhang Juzheng thought yes, he had to do the important things, so he shouted, meaning that he would stop playing, and do the important things first. The stubborn leader led by Li Zaixing was having fun, so how could he let go and leave? His expression was extremely depressed for a moment.

I knew it in my heart and smiled, "Sir, go to pay New Year's greetings. I won't go back when I come back in the afternoon. Qi Lan just prepares a little wine to greet everyone!"

The officials cheered! Actually, who cares about this meal? What they care about is the fun thing like mahjong!

After hearing what I said, the officials followed Zhang Juzheng out and couldn't help but urge: Go quickly! The chief assistant! Go quickly!

Zhang Juzheng smiled helplessly, pointed at me with his finger, but took the lead in turning around.

As soon as they left, I immediately called Qiao Hansheng, Qinglian and Yuhe, and asked them to immediately bring all the jade plaques in the warehouse and carve them all into mahjong. Then choose the best wooden box to hold them and finish them as soon as possible! At the same time, I instructed Lan and Qiao Hansheng to send someone to move all the jade plaques in the surrounding warehouses!

So, Wenhai Pavilion on the first day of the Lunar New Year became a workshop, and everyone in the room was busy carving mahjong! By the time Zhang Juzheng and others came back, the food had already been prepared, and more than twenty pairs of mahjong were carved!

Everyone ate this meal in a short while, and everyone knew exactly what they were doing today.

I also made arrangements early. According to factors such as the size of the official position, the relationship, the age, etc., I used more than a dozen rooms in my family, and arranged all these officials one by one! Each table was arranged as a "skilled worker" in the mansion as a coach, leading them to further familiarize themselves with the rules, and then arranged a family member to watch, serve tea and water, and the officials who served were very comfortable.

That night, he was destined to be sleepless. Even Hai Rui, who was fighting against Wang Guoguang, Li Zaixing, and Jiugui Zhengxiao, was clamoring. He shouted loudly when he won, and even shouted loudly when he lost. His white beard was trembling with excitement. Anyway, he was closed and no one could see anyone. He was surrounded by acquaintances, so who cares?

The battle was until dawn, and these adults were not happy, but they had new troubles. The families and female family members of these officials saw that the master at home did not return all night. Although someone came to report that the master was drinking in the Sun Mansion, who knew what wine was drinking? Men, if they had money, they would become bad. So the ladies and wives came to find their husbands early in the morning!

After entering the yard, someone greeted them and guided them to the room where their husbands were. After the wives and aunts went in, they saw that there were indeed four big men playing. They immediately calmed down and sat on the chairs on the side, eating fruits, drinking tea, and watching the men play.

After watching for a while, these ladies found, wow! So I want to play! So I added another table to each room, turning it into a table of men and women, fighting separately!

I have already withdrawn from the battle group. At this moment, what I care about is not the game, but the next step, how should we use mahjong to make a good profit!

In this way, on the afternoon of the second day of the Lunar New Year, when these officials' eyes were red and their wives left Wenhai Pavilion with disorganized hair, I had already cultivated a large number of loyal fans of the "national treasures". At the same time, they also fell in love with the summer heat-retardation artifact - ice cream. Of course, before leaving, I gave them a set of mahjong to show friendship.

The next development of things was indeed as I expected. When these officials returned home, they were on holiday. The mahjong was really interesting, so they fought together. However, there were always three missing ones, so they called the old and young people at home to participate. After a while, there were more and more fans, and the mahjong I gave them was obviously not enough, but I was so itchy that I couldn't help but ask my master where this mahjong came from?

When I asked, it was given by Sun's Mansion, but I don't know who said it first, but it seemed to be available in Qingyu Pavilion, so the bustling fans flocked to Qingyu Pavilion.

This group is quite large, and it is spread to ten or ten, and the number of people is like a snowball! It can be imagined that by the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Qingyu Pavilion was surrounded by fanatical "national treasures" fans! Because the capital base is too large, the mahjong made from jade tags is in short supply, so we began to use wooden boards and bamboo boards instead! In this way, the processing speed cannot keep up with the speed of purchasing! It can be seen how fanatical the fans are!

By the tenth day of the Chinese New Year, the entertainment form of mahjong had spread to Gyeonggi and other places, and some imitators also appeared. The problem of piracy was easy to solve in this era - local officials came forward to announce that this product was exclusively represented by Qingyuge, and violators were regarded as smuggling!

Of course, this is also a decision made based on my identity and my commitment to the face of an additional 10% of the tax.

So the problem was solved to a large extent! This is the power of power plus money! Since then, the words "green jade" have appeared on the back of the mahjong we sold. I told them that this is called a registered trademark!

This ticket made me a lot of money, but all of this has just begun - sitting in the study, I learned about the "Rules of the Capital Mahjong Competition in the Tenth Year of the Wanli Spring Festival in Beijing" in detail?
Chapter completed!
