Chapter 56: The Mysterious Huarong Road (Part 2)
Chapter 56: The mysterious Huarong Road (Part 2)
Speaking of which, Wang Kuang is also very shameless. He usually thinks about the common magic weapon for the time travel tribe when he is idle and has nothing to do. He wants to copy some entertainment tools. At the beginning, he wanted to do Go, but it was extremely difficult to find small stones with more than 100 colors of black and white. He found someone to customize Go two years ago, but now he has not collected a whole bunch of grinding. However, for others, it is very difficult to polish. For Wang Kuang, it is simple. As long as he greets the track temple, he ensures that a large group of beggars will follow him. Each person can grind several small stones according to Wang Kuang's requirements. After grinding, he can eat a full meal in the inn. Go is difficult to make, but checkers are much simpler in comparison. Only fifteen of the same color need to be found. Therefore, he used his spare time to make a set of checkers, and played with Wang Xian in his house at night, or played with himself, and he could also kill time.
Since Wang Kuang did not take out the checkers, it was the first time Lin Quanmiao saw him. He came over and took a closer look: "Checks? Look at this round stone, it looks very similar to playing chess. Erlang, are you fooling us? I don't know that this is called playing chess. But you don't have a chessboard, how can you play? What's more, playing chess is not as beautiful as you." After spending time with Wang Kuang for a long time, Lin Quanmiao has indeed learned a lot of new terms from Wang Kuang.
"Play chess, what is that?" Wang Kuang didn't understand. He looked like checkers. Could it be that there were checkers in this era? Or who brought them here?
"Haha." Lin Quanmiao was in a state of peace: "I didn't expect that there were things that you, Wang Erlang, didn't know about, but you must not blame you. Where can those businessmen have the opportunity to play chess, so naturally they won't say it to you."
Lin Quanmiao finally seized an opportunity to show off, so he would not miss it. So he took the chopsticks and demonstrated to Wang Kuang what playing chess is. Wang Kuang watched it for a long time and finally understood that this so-called playing chess is actually very similar to Kangle chess or billiards in later generations. It appeared during the Qin and Han Dynasties and was mostly popular among the upper class aristocrats, but the rules were different.
Damn, after a long time of trouble, it turned out that billiards were actually passed from China, but were promoted by Europeans. Wang Kuang guessed that it was the one who passed by Marco Polo.
When the little girl saw the checkers, she also flattened her mouth and looked like she looked down on Wang Kuang: "What's so fun about this chess? You're still a treasure."
Wang Kuang, who had been paying attention to the little girl's expression, did not see any surprise on the little girl's face. Wang Kuang was sure that unless this little girl was very cunning, it would never have been through like him. But judging from the mentality shown by the little girl in front, this is a girl who is still in childhood. She cannot have such a deep cunning. From this point, it can basically rule out the possibility of the little girl's traveling through time. But how did her Huarong Road come from? Could it be that she was really just picked up by the roadside?
To be on the safe side, Wang Kuang decided to try it again, and he smiled: "You two guessed it wrong. My checkers are not playing chess. The board is in the box. After saying that, he demonstrated the way to play checkers. The rules of checkers are simple. With just a little explanation, Lin Quanmiao and the little girl understood. After playing for a while, Lin Quanmiao lost interest: "It's boring to play chess, so don't play Go. But it's suitable for women to play." This kind of thing that doesn't require much brainpower is, even in later generations, only children can play, and adults basically don't play it. The Tang people admired literature and martial arts, and they both valued both civil and military, so they naturally wouldn't like it. This was contrary to what Wang Kuang expected. I originally thought that the checkers would cause a sensation as soon as they were played, so he had always dared to hide himself and took it out this time to test the little girl.
No wonder every time he played chess, he was a little reluctant except when he first started to get in touch. Wang Kuang suddenly realized that when he thought about it carefully, he was bored and thought of checkers. He just passed the time, and he couldn't even like it.
However, since you have playing chess at this time, you can legitimately push billiards out. Billiards are not as good as checkers. Billiards need to be considered a lot, including physical coordination, as well as the ability to test school vision and grasp and judge the overall situation. It can be said that billiards are an invisible sport that takes brain and physical strength. In this era of advocating literature and martial arts, it should be easy to promote. The reason why playing chess cannot be promoted is that it is small and simple rules.
But the little girl, after all, she still likes checkers. Seeing that Lin Quanmiao was unwilling to play again, she hugged the checkers and refused to let go.
Now Wang Kuang can confirm that the little girl was not here, but how did Huarong Road come from?
"It's not a big deal for a checker, but you have to exchange it for something." Seeing that the little girl was holding the checker, Wang Kuang wanted to use the checker to exchange Huarong Road. When he saw it as he saw it before the New Year, he was worried and did not look closely. If he could exchange it now, maybe he could find some clues from it.
"What do you want to change?" Seeing that there is hope for checkers, the little girl is naturally willing to change. As long as it is not an important thing, she will of course be willing to change it.
"Does my little lady remember the thing I asked Manager Li to take to me the next year?"
"You said that strange things have many square things?" Seeing that Wang Kuang was going to change this thing, the little girl hesitated a little: "That thing was given to my father as a birthday gift two years ago. How about you change it?"
"So?" Wang Kuang was a little disappointed. It seemed that he had no hope. Forget it, he didn't like this checker, but now he had the idea of billiards, so checkers are not important. Moreover, it was extremely simple for Wang Kuang. If he really wanted to do it again, it was nothing more than a meal: "Then there was no need to change it, and this checker would be given to the little lady."
Seeing that Wang Kuang didn't force anything, the little girl was a little disgusted and turned her head to think: Let's go home and talk to my father, see if I can get the thing back. My father loves Xiaoying the most, maybe I will give it to him. Then I'll send it to Wang Erlang.
"Well, it seems that Wang Erlang is not a bad person." The little girl turned her head and said with certainty to Wang Kuang.
At this moment, Wang Kuang really felt like he was looking for a piece of tofu and bumped into it. It turned out that the little girl was so simple to judge a person's good or bad standards? Who treats her well? Whoever treats her well will be good people? Whoever makes her unhappy is bad people?
Lin Quanmiao was already familiar with his aunt's words, but seeing that Wang Kuang was helpless to his aunt like him, he felt extremely comfortable. He laughed and held Wang Kuang's shoulder: "I'm Erlang, are there any new foods recently? Come and try it for me."
Wang Kuang rolled his eyes: "You think I am really the Star Lord? This new food can be prepared casually? It also takes several trials to make it possible. You don't know the difficulties in it. Otherwise, think of a new food for me casually?"
Lin Quanmiao was speechless. Although he would occasionally cook when he was interested, he still knew how to make a new meal.
After getting checkers, the little girl no longer got entangled with Lin Quanmiao about ordering dishes. She came here only to hear that Fulai Inn had a lot of new food in the past two years, and she was jealous of Lin Quanmiao's bronze medal. Lin Quanmiao had to go to school on weekdays, so she couldn't come with her every day, so she wanted to come to the inn to eat new food in these days in Jian'an. But as an "elder", it was difficult to ask for it, so she made things difficult for Lin Quanmiao. Now that she has got the bronze medal and has got a fresh toy, she is naturally satisfied.
Lin Quanmiao briefly revealed to Wang Kuang about Lin Han coming to Jian'an, and then went back with the little girl.
Wang Kuang had already expected the people from the Lin family at this time, and had basically confirmed with Sun Mingqian in his house that he would allow the Lin family to participate in the pepper industry to a limited extent. It would be best to use the Lin family to attract one or two powerful families to participate in it. Only in this way can the business be insured. If he just wants to eat alone, he will not know how he dies.
Now it can be said that Sun Mingqian of the entire Fulai Inn has let go and handed over to Wang Kuang for his care. He is happy to enjoy his happiness at home. Moreover, Wang Kuang is not arbitrary and will discuss with him any important matters. This makes Sun Mingqian convinced that he had read the wrong person and often proudly recognizes people in front of his wife.
After seeing off Lin Quanmiao and the others, Wang Kuang fell into a tangle again: What's going on in Huarong Road?
