After breakfast the next day, Yu Wuya came to invite him to play chess again, but Chen Xuyi refused in a righteous manner. He plunged into the laboratory and took out a wooden board, a knives and axes to chop and chop. Chess was too brain-consuming, so he wanted to make something more relaxed and entertaining.

An hour later, Chen Xu called Wang Wu and Qi into the laboratory, then took out a bag of Guanyin soil and poured it into a large clay pot and added water and half-dried mud. Then he put a small piece of white mud into a wooden frame just made of a small brick and pressed it tightly, then scraped it flat with a copper knife and poured it out. Then he got a square piece of white mud brick as big as mahjong.

"Did you see clearly?" Chen Xu pointed at the little mud brick and asked.

"I see clearly!" The two nodded together.

"Why did Lidian want to build a small house? But this is too small, right?" Wang Wu said grinning.

"Who said that you want to build a house? This is another kind of play. You can play three people and four people together. It is simple and brainless, and it is much more fun than chess!" Chen Xu explained.

"Really?" Wang Wu and King Qi were very happy. Yesterday, the four rash men watched chess for a long time, and their minds were still confused. Therefore, they could only stand beside each other and waste their kung fu. If there were four people who could play games, the cold weather would be so cold that they would not have to sit next to them and count the hairs on their arms.

So Wang Wu and Wang Qi took small molds and started to spread the small bricks of Guanyin, while Chen Xu took out the knives and axes to put on a wooden horse under the pergola outside, shouted Wang San and Wang Si out to help cut the wood, preparing to create a special mahjong table. In the living room, Yu Wuya had already pulled Shui Qingrou to play chess, Xing'er and Yu Ji sat obediently to help Chen Jiangshi pull the yarn balls, and the scene was peaceful and happy.

"Let me, don't break it!"

Half an hour later, Chen Xu used a wooden board to carry dozens of square small squares into the living room, and placed it in the corner of the kang to slowly dry it with a kang.

"Brother, are you going to make a square tofu?" Xing'er thought Chen Xu was putting the tofu cubes, so she squatted down and asked curiously.

"This is not tofu, this is mud. I'm optimistic about Yu Ji and can't eat it!" Chen Xu quickly explained.

"My benefactor, you are so fucking. Come and play chess with me. My junior sister is not skilled enough and can't be interested in playing chess with her!" Yu Wuya turned her head and said with anticipation.

Chen Xu's face turned black in an instant, and he twitched and refused: "If you don't play, chess is not fun!"

Shui Rou, who was pondering at the chessboard, looked up at Chen Xu, then covered her mouth and laughed.

"Who said that chess is the most fun game in the world? When you asked us to make chess, you said that this was a contest between wise men. I played these two days and found that it was true. Chess is like two armies fighting against a large army. The chess holder is like a strategist who is on the battlefield and the enemy cannot be missed. If you have a chance to meet your master next time, I will definitely send chess, and the master will definitely like it..." Yu Wuya was nagging, obviously the chess was poisoned too deeply.

"When my mud pieces are ready, there will be more fun games at that time!" Chen Xu said with a lip voice.

"It is absolutely impossible. If there is a game beyond chess, Wuya will grind outside... Well, eat this chess!" Yu Wuya remembered the last time catching the little bee, and instantly reduced the difficulty of eating grind by 99%.

Last time I caught the bet and ate half a stone mill, Chen Xu almost easily put a nest of tens of thousands of bees into the beehives. At present, the beehives are still hanging on the wall behind the house. Just wait for spring to get honey, and honey will be eaten every year. According to Chen Xu, after spring, after spring, you can find the queen bee nest in the beehive, and you can cultivate a few more queen bees to come out. At that time, the bees can be divided into nests and make many boxes of bees, and even honey cannot be eaten.

So even if Yu Wuya absolutely believes that chess is the most fun game in the world, given Chen Xu's semi-immortal attribute, he would not dare to be too arrogant when he made a bet, otherwise Chen Xu would be plotted to do hard work.

"If you don't believe me, just wait and see!" Chen Xu turned around and went to the laboratory. After half an hour, he brought dozens of small squares made of Guanyin soil.

Soon half a day passed, and Wang Wu and Wang Qi kept making bricks with the mud and bricks, creating five or six hundred small bricks, densely packed with half of the kang.

"Xiao Xu, the small mud bricks you made are really more fun than chess?" Not only were the people in the room confused when they looked at the small bricks, even Chen Jiang couldn't help asking curiously.

"Mom, this kind of betting is very simple and fun. You don't need to think too much. You can also play together at that time!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"So many chess pieces look dizzy. I'm so stupid that I can't play!" Chen Jiang said with a little blushing.

"Yes, benefactor, your new game has hundreds of chess pieces. I'm afraid you need a big house to put down the chessboard, right?" Yu Wuya couldn't help but ask questions. Wang Wusi's guards and Shui Qingrou also looked at Chen Xu together.

"In fact, you can't use so many pieces. The rules are completely different from chess games. It's very simple. You can tell at a glance that you will definitely like it!" Chen Xu felt that he couldn't explain it clearly before mahjong was made yet, but given the popular entertainment attributes of mahjong, he completely believed that this simple and fun game would definitely defeat chess and become the most popular entertainment method.

Chen Xu found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, sat on the kang and began to design the graphics on mahjong. These must be designed first. After the small bricks of Guanyin earth were dried, Yu Wuya and Shui Qingrou helped to carve them with seal knives. They must know the style.

In addition to the regular graphics of "Biujiu" and "West and White Boats" in the southeast, northwest and northeast, Chen Xu designed the four holy beast cards of "Blue Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, Black Tortoise" based on fancy mahjong. He originally planned to use the five elements of "Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, and the five elements to replace the five elements of "South, West, and Northeast", but after thinking about it, he gave up. The five elements are the theory studied by the Yin and Yang School. Although it is easier to be accepted by ordinary people in the Qin Dynasty today, the five elements theory is not deep enough and does not express his identity as an immortal disciple. Once he is in harmony with the Yin and Yang family, he will probably offend many people, because many schools such as Confucianism and Mohism do not believe in Yin and Yang and Five Elements at all, and they don't even believe in ghosts and gods. They are completely atheists and are not easy to fool. However, the Taoist disciples who believe in Yin and Yang are all idle clouds and wild cranes who seek immortals and ask for Taoism. If you want to ask them to play mahjong, it is probably not a table that can't be collected in a year.

Therefore, after some thought, Chen Xu honestly copied the mahjong cards from later generations, too lazy to do such thankless things, and basically has no meaning at all. It is just a game when you are bored.

Because there is no shortage of wood in the mountains, Wang Wu and others cut a lot of firewood before the beginning of winter, and the big kang at home was burned warm all day long. Therefore, in just one night, all the small mud bricks made by Guanyin soil were dried. Therefore, the next day, everyone in the room sat on the kang and started making mahjong. Shui Qingrou and Yu Wuya were responsible for engraving letters and patterns with seal knives.

"The cylinder is a copper coin, a strip is a string of copper coins, and tens of thousands of yuan is naturally a copper coin. It is also called a wind card in the southeast, west, north and middle, and it represents direction. The white board indicates poverty and wealth naturally means wealth. The four sacred beasts indicate protection..."

Chen Xu explained the mahjong plaque he designed, while carefully polishing the surrounding corners with fine linen cloth to make them look round and smooth. The polished ones were placed in a small wooden box next to them, and asked Xing'er to carefully separate the linen cloth and wool layer by layer. None of this was involved in Wang Wusi, because these small mud bricks were not strong and would be crushed by four rough men if they were not careful.

These prepared mahjong muds must be sent to the pottery workshop in the town to be fired into ceramic mahjong, so you must be careful. Although Chen Xu knew that ceramic mahjong may not be strong and not resistant to falling and cracks and damage would inevitably occur during the firing process, he made five pairs of them. I thought that there would be no problem in finally getting a complete mahjong, and the excess could be spared. If it was broken, it could be matched with it.

Several people worked hard for two days before finally finishing all these mahjongs, and finally made more than ten dice.

It has been seven or eight days since the last snow. Except for the undulating top of Funiu Mountain in the distance, the snow on the mountains and on the ground near Xiaohe Village has completely melted, but the weather is still cold, and the melting mud on the ground has condensed into white ice edges, and when you step on it, you make a crackling sound.

"Anyway, you four are idle at home. You are also idle. Send these mahjong pottery blanks to the pottery workshop in the town and hand them to Gaohe, and ask him to cook them for me as soon as possible. The paper is written with the color of the mahjong pattern, so that he can paint them well with paint. Don't make mistakes." Chen Xu handed a few papers with the mahjong pattern to Wang Wu, and asked the four guards who were idle all day to take the mahjong pattern to the town to burn.

"By the way, the road is slippery, don't ride a horse, just walk around, just use it as exercise! When you come back, remember to get more tea tree fruit oil, remember to go to the blacksmith shop to check it out, and bring it back together if the iron pot is cast." Chen Xu reminded.

"Don't worry, we can only go back and forth twenty miles, and we can get there in one breath!" Kings, Five, Kings, Seven and Four nodded repeatedly.
Chapter completed!
