Chapter 42 The King of Herbs
"No money-making? If you don't play with the money, you're just a nervous and exciting thing! How can you be exciting if you don't play with the money!" Zhao Zhengang asked in confusion.
Zhang Dehai did not answer, got up and took out two bottles of white wine from his bag, and three three-cent glasses, put them on the small dining table between the sleepers on both sides, pointed at the white wine and said sneeringly: "Betting on this!"
"Wine? Lao Zhang, this lottery ticket seems to be very fair to Brother Xiao Tang!"
"I am a mountain province, and you are a Northeastern person. It seems a bit unfair to play this!" Zhao Zhengang glanced at Tang Lei and teased with a smile.
Zhang Dehai frowned and said tentatively: "Why not like this? Lao Zhao and I lost, one more cup, Xiao Tang, you lose one less cup!"
After listening to Zhang Dehai's suggestion, Tang Lei laughed, looked at Zhao Zhengang and Zhang Dehai and shook his head and said, "Brother Zhang, Brother Zhao won't take you to despise people like this!"
"What's wrong with the people from Northeast China! What's wrong with the people from Shanzhou Province? What's wrong with the people from Jiangzhou?"
"The two big brothers are both people who are "alcohol tests" in the world. Although I am from Jiangzhou, I want to give it a try today. Is the alcohol content of the two northern men true or false?"
"First of all, I don't need two elder brothers to let me do it. We can only rely on our ability to drink and see who can't stand it first!"
"Also, I'm still a student. If I really lose to me, those two big brothers would be too embarrassing!"
After Tang Lei finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Zhengang and Zhang Dehai with a smile.
Tang Lei is not afraid of using wine as a lottery ticket. His alcohol tolerance has been trained by Tang Guoqiang since he was a child, and he was trained by his boss Li Qi when he was in college. Now, Tang Lei does not blush after finishing the two bottles of wine on the small table!
Even if it really doesn't work in the end, isn't it still the cheater of Fire Number? Tang Lei is not cowardly at all! He just does it! He must fight for the whisper of the people of Jiangzhou Province!
"Okay! Brother Xiao Tang is ready! Brother, I'm wronged. I apologize to Brother Xiao Tang!" Zhao Zhengang said loudly!
"Xiao Tang, do you want me to buy some side dishes for drinking?" Zhang Dehai looked at the hand-pushed van on the train and asked.
"Does Brother Zhang have to ask for side dishes when drinking? If Brother Zhang really needs it, then buy some more. I probably won't be enough of this wine, so I have to buy some more!" Tang Lei looked at Zhang Dehai with a smile and teased.
"Hey, you boy! Don't beg for mercy then!"
"Then don't have side dishes! Have a drink!" After hearing this, Zhang Dehai smiled and pointed at Tang Lei, and then asked him to let the cart go.
"It's better to order the food and drink. I feel uncomfortable when I drink on the train! We drink to have a good sleep! It's not really a life-and-death." Zhao Zhengang suggested with a smile.
After hearing Zhao Zhengang's words, Tang Lei continued to look at Zhang Dehai with a smile and said, "I agree, Brother Zhang should be on the right track, it's not good to vomit if you drink!"
Zhang Dehai was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he smiled angrily and said, "You are quick-witted, I don't care about you!"
"Comrade, three bottles of white wine, three packs of peanuts, three packs of fish skin, and three packs of lard cake!" Zhang Dehai said to the waiter who was pushing the sales truck.
After Zhang Dehai put the food he bought on the small dining table, he waited for the waiter who was pushing the sales truck to leave, and the "gambling" officially began.
"Brother Zhang, how do you play?" Tang Lei asked with a smile.
Zhang Dehai said with a smile: "We each have a drink of this first card, and then decide on a dealer according to the size of the cards in each of our hands."
"The next move is first for the dealer's next player. The next player chooses to see whether he or she will see his own hand. The dealer and the previous player cannot see his cards. Then the next player decides whether he or she will compare with the previous player's hand or the dealer's hand!"
"If the next company doesn't look at the cards, it will decide to compare the size of the previous company's hand. It only takes one glass of wine. Whoever loses will drink a glass of wine in front of him!"
"If the next company looks at their own cards and compares the size of the previous card, the previous company can choose not to look at their own cards. The next company loses, drink three cups, and drink two cups when the previous company loses! Each person will have one more glass of wine when he watches the card once!"
"But if the next company wants to skip the previous company and directly compare the size of the dealer's hand, then you need to have two glasses of wine. The glass you look at is not counting!"
"After the next company looks at the cards, if you lose with the dealer, you have to drink three glasses of wine in front of you. If you don't look at the cards, you will lose with two glasses. The dealer doesn't look at the cards. If you don't look at the cards, you will lose with two glasses! The dealer looks at the cards, and the next company looks at the cards. The dealer loses three glasses, and the next company loses four glasses."
"Only one of the three of us has only one winner!"
"This is fun!" Zhao Zhengang said eagerly.
"Brother Zhang, then the previous family has no say?" Tang Lei asked with a smile.
"Yes, the next company has finished competing with the previous company. If the previous company is still alive on the field, you can choose to compare cards with size, or not the card with size. The dealer can do the same. Whoever loses, whoever drinks a glass of wine in front of him, and the two of them have a card with wine! If there is one, drink it, and if there is no one, don't drink it!" Zhang Dehai explained the rules.
"Then let's start!" Zhao Zhengang said.
The first hand, after drinking a glass of wine, the three of them opened their hand, and in the end, Zhang Dehai's hand was the largest, so Zhang Dehai naturally became the next dealer, Tang Lei was the next home, and Zhao Zhengang was the previous home.
In the second hand, Tang Lei took the lead in looking at his hand, which was a variegated 910J straight. Among the three-person gold flowers, this deck was considered very big.
After reading it, Tang Lei said with a plain face: "Brother Zhang, I want to compete with you, do you read the cards?"
"When I look at the cards, Xiao Tang, you have to drink four cups if you lose!" Zhang Dehai said with a smile.
Tang Lei smiled and did not answer Zhang Dehai, but just kept looking at him.
"Xiao Tang likes to play big things, I'll accompany you!" After Zhang Dehai said that, he opened the trump card in his hand and looked at it, and his face suddenly collapsed: "What kind of shit card is this!"
Tang Lei smiled and took Zhang Dehai's hand and took a look, then threw Zhang Dehai's hand into the pile.
Zhang Dehai looked at Tang Lei's hand in disbelief and said, "3 cups, right?"
After Tang Lei nodded at Zhang Dehai with a smile, Zhang Dehai started drinking one cup after another.
"Good alcohol!" After Tang Lei praised, he looked at Zhao Zhengang and said, "Brother Zhao, it's your turn!"
"I won't read the cards anymore, come on," Zhao Zhengang said with a smile.
"One-on-one 5 plus 8, Xiao Tang is Shunzi, Lao Zhao drinks two drinks! Hahaha!" Zhang Dehai laughed happily.
The third hand.
"Hahaha! Old Zhao, I'm a big shot of A! Have three drinks!"
"Tsk tsk! Xiao Tang is lucky in these two things! Lao Zhang, you have to drink three more drinks!"
The fourth hand.
"Hahaha! Xiao Tang deserves you to drink! I'll pour it on you three cups!"

January 17, 1980 at 7 a.m.
Tang Lei dragged his groggy head, washed a simple wash in the washroom at the end of the carriage, walked to the connection of the carriage door and took out a cigarette and started smoking.
However, the shaking at the connection of the car is more serious than the middle of the car. Tang Lei could only lean on the car sideways to reduce the shaking of his body.
Before Tang Lei finished smoking the cigarette in his hand, he heard Zhao Zhengang's voice ringing behind him.
"Brother Xiao Tang, go to the dining car to have breakfast together?" Zhao Zhengang said with a smile.
"Okay!" Tang Lei put out the cigarette butt and replied with a smile.
After returning to the sleeper car with Zhao Zhengang, Tang Lei put down his toiletries and went to the dining car to have breakfast with Zhao Zhengang and Zhang Dehai.
In 1980, the breakfast style on the train was very simple, with a bowl of white porridge, and two plates of pickles. Tang Lei and the other two added an egg and cabbage bun.
"Xiao Tang, I really didn't expect that you, a college student, would have a good alcohol tolerance!" Zhang Dehai praised while drinking porridge and eating breakfast.
"I won more yesterday, Brother Zhao drank a lot!" Tang Lei said with a smile.
"I drank at least three bottles of white wine alone, and Xiao Tang drank at most two bottles. When I woke up this morning, my head hurt so much!" Zhao Zhengang shook his head and said.
Tang Lei smiled after hearing this. He had only 5 bottles of wine yesterday, but he added two more bottles at the end!
The one who lost the worst record last night was Zhao Zhengang, who was called the god of gambling by Zhang Dehai, and then Tang Lei, who proposed to play this game, drank the least.
Sometimes Zhang Dehai would drink even if he didn't lose, otherwise Zhang Dehai might have drunk even less last night!
After breakfast, the three of them went back to the sleeper carriage and started chatting together.
"Brother Zhao, how do you usually sell ginseng?" Tang Lei asked with a smile.
"First look at the variety, then the growth environment of ginseng, and finally the year, but year is an important basis for judging the value of a ginseng." Zhao Zhengang replied with a smile.
"Isn't the ginseng variety in Northeast China the Changbaishan ginseng?" Tang Lei asked curiously.
Zhao Zhengang smiled and shook his head and explained: "There are many varieties of ginseng in the Northeast, such as the local varieties of Lin Gaoguan Baishan ginseng, Korean ginseng, and American ginseng. The price of each ginseng is different!"
"In addition to the variety, ginseng is also divided into garden ginseng, mountain ginseng, forest ginseng, wild ginseng. The prices vary even more, such as wild ginseng, which have the highest economic value!"
"After seeing the variety and growth environment of a ginseng plant, I picked the ginseng in my hand and had a variety of processing techniques, such as raw sun drying, pinching the skin, etc...."
"After reading these, we will see the age of ginseng. Take the example of the high-ranking official Baishan wild ginseng. A Changbaishan wild ginseng plant with 5 to 20 years of ginseng, we usually sell 5 to 40 yuan!"
"We can usually sell a wild ginseng plant that is 20 to 50 years old, ranging from 40 to 300 yuan."
"An ginseng plant that has been 50 to 100 years of age starts at a price of 500 to 3,000 yuan! And it has a price but no market price!"
"Like ones over 100 years old, they are treasures, and they are usually not visible!"
"I have been doing business for so long and I have seen wild ginseng that have been ginseng for more than a hundred years, and they don't sell them at all! Wild ginseng that has been ginseng for more than two or three hundred years is a good thing that can save you life!"
