Chapter 98

On February 12th, after eating the perfect taste of Buddha Jumping over the wall, Li Xingxing followed Zhao Haiyun and others on the train to Yanjing.

Express train, advanced soft sleeper.

This is where Li Xingxing and his entourage live.

There are double rooms, upper and lower seats, and a table by the window. All three meals are provided by the train, as well as Maotai liquor and juice, bread, biscuits, candy and other tight supplies.

If you think the treatment is luxurious, you are a big mistake.

Both James and Zhao Haiyun live in a bedroom, with a separate bathroom and dining room, and a reception room, which is like a small simple version of the presidential suite.

The appearance of the train is no different from that of an ordinary green-skinned vehicle.

It's just that?

There is a universe inside.

Li Xingxing has gained great knowledge. Sixty years later, she took the train and did not enjoy this level of treatment.

Compared with the speed of sixty years later, the train was not running fast at this time. It is said that it took twenty hours to arrive in Yanjing. Time was difficult. Zhao Haiyun taught James and his wife to play mahjong. Three missing one, and called Li Xingxing.

Li Xingxing is not very good at playing mahjong.

The old man felt that gambling was very good and was not a good thing. He didn't teach her and only played cards with his classmates a few times.

One handful of ten yuan, I lost more than ten in a row.

"Xingxing, it turns out that there is something you don't know. I won several times, but you didn't win one." Mrs. James covered her mouth and smiled, a pink pigeon egg on her ring finger shining brightly under the light.

Li Xingxing's hand touching the mahjong plaque was clean: "I am an ordinary person, and I can't be proficient in everything!"

Mrs. James likes to chat with her very much because she is not as reserved as others. Instead, she has an indescribable sense of freedom, which is a kind of cultivation and demeanor that has seen the world.

Zhao Haiyun was secretly acclaimed, but later she turned into a very good appreciation.

Really a wonderful person.

No matter what topics the James and his wife mentioned, she could always put on a sentence or two, and often she would make fun of herself and understand the basics.

When it comes to national treasures, she is even more witty.

Just like at this moment, she talked about the history of mahjong to the James and his wife. "Mahjong card, also known as the sparrow card, is a kind of harmful bird? She likes to steal food. It is said that the mahjong card at the beginning was Taicang's 'grain protection card'."

"What is a food protection card?" Mr. James interrupted.

Mrs. James said: "The brand of food protection? But I think the gameplay has nothing to do with protecting food."

"It's related. The term "playing mahjong" is inseparable from catching birds to protect food? This is a lot, many years ago. At that time, Taicang was the royal granary? The stockpiling of a large amount of grain caused a lot of birds to spread and lose a lot of losses. So the granary manager invented the grain protection card to reward subordinates who caught birds and protected food. The grain protection card is a bamboo chip card? Record the number of birds caught by subordinates? Used to pay bonuses."

Li Xingxing first told them the origin, and then picked up a mahjong. "The symbols, gameplay and terms on it are actually related to catching birds. Ten thousand is the unit of bonus? The barrel is a musket barrel? The bundle is a rope? The birds strung with thin ropes..."

Is it a gunfire? Is it a co-falcon? Is it an eagle that catches birds? And so on.

The James and his wife were very eye-opening.

"Your ancestors have so many wonderful ideas! Let's be with you!" Mrs. James shouted happily, "Give money, give money!"

Li Xingxing lost again.

Seeing that there was not much money left in front of her? Zhao Haiyun asked someone to take a stack of big black tens to her and continue playing.

The conductor who brought them tea and water couldn't help but say to his colleagues privately: "Don't the country prohibit playing mahjong? They actually committed crimes against the wind? They played so crazy that they lost my monthly salary in one hand."

The young train conductor's doubts were exchanged for silent ridicule from his colleagues.
