Reshaping life starting from the Junior Class of HKUST

Chapter 9 Sweeping the chess booth
Just as Wu Zhe finished speaking here, the owner of the chess stall has already rectified the chess game.

He looked up at Wu Zhe and said, "Since the little brother knows the rules, I won't say much."

After speaking, he took out ten yuan and put it on top of Wu Zhe's banknote, took another piece of Xingmu to hold it down, and raised his hand and said, "Please!"

Here are the rules of gambling: the stall owner sets up the game, the challenger bets, and the bet is decided by the challenger.Put the bet on it, and if the stall owner agrees to challenge, he will take out the same bet and hold down the bet with something to show his approval.

The challenger can choose the red side or the black side of the chess game. If the black side does not go first, the red side will go first by default, and the stall owner will usually put the red side on the side of the customer and let him go first.

Wu Zhe also understood the meaning of the "please" from the chess stall owner, that he was asking him to choose black and red.

Wu Zhe glanced at the chess game, and said to the stall owner, "No, that's it, it's troublesome to change positions.

The "swan geese startled the cold" game is just a game, although it is a variant of this game.But it can't help Wu Zhe, whether he is black or red, he is the same to Wu Zhe.

What is the "swan geese startled by the cold"? It means that the soldiers of both sides have already entered the opponent's palace, and they are approaching their respective generals. On the chessboard, both sides have bicycles, double cannons, and soldiers.

Wu Zhe started with three cars and eight cars, and then changed cars.The stall owner was startled, he came up so fast, took a step back, and got out of the way.

Wu Zhe shot three flats and six generals, and continued to attack.After five rounds, checkmate, Wu Zhe wins.

The stall owner looked up at the boy carefully, wearing beach pants and a T-shirt, and flip-flops on his feet.With a green face, half a child.Although he is small, he plays chess very well.

He said to Wu Zhe: "You won this game, little brother is good at chess. Do you want to continue playing?"

Wu Zhe pouted in the direction of the money and said, "Down! The bet is twenty, and I'm too lazy to get it back."

When the stall owner heard this, he felt happy.Continuing to play the game just now, I thought to myself, "I retreated a bit at the beginning, and I was pushed to death by you every step of the way. This time it will not be such a good thing."

Wu Zhe started the same as before, the boss learned how to behave this time, and was tough.But after five rounds, he was dumbfounded and died again.

The stall owner looked at the gentle smile on Wu Zhe's face, and he still didn't believe in evil.I rely on this chess game to make a living, but I can't play more than one and a half chess pieces.

Ask Wu Zhe again: "Continue?"

Wu Zhe still pouted at the bet and said, "Continue." The stall owner understood, and put another forty on it.

This time the stall owner didn't dare to play "Shocking Hong Hanyan" anymore, and took out his own "Zero Rain Eastern Expedition" game at the bottom of the box.

Wu Zhe didn't say anything else, he still insisted on red first.The result is still five rounds, checkmate.

The stall owner was dumbfounded, staring at the chessboard, sweat dripping down his face.

This round can still be solved in this way. I have studied this endgame for more than ten years. Let alone never seen this move, I have never even thought about it. The boss is still very confident in himself when it comes to pressing the bottom of the box.But after only a few rounds, they were defeated.

When he came back to his senses, the stall owner cupped his hands to Wu Zhe and said, "Little brother is amazing! He gave food with both hands in a row, but he just showed up for this last picture. I admire you, brother."

After finishing talking and putting away the chess pieces, it is time to flip the chessboard upside down. (Note: If the board is turned upside down in chess, it means that you have been beaten and surrendered, and you will not play against others today. It is a way to lose face.)
As soon as Wu Zhe flipped his hand, he clasped the hand of the chess stall owner to prevent the chessboard from falling, and stood up and said, "This big brother is serious, it shouldn't be like this. It's just a fluke."

After saying that, he sent his hand away, and the stall owner also heaved a sigh of relief: "Brother, I really dare not get off with you. I'm getting off Ma San, what's the name of the little brother?"

Wu Zhe said to Ma San, the owner of the stall: "Hello, Boss Ma, my name is Wu Zhe."

Ma San clasped his hands to Wu Zhe again and said, "Brother Wu, I really admire your chess skills, and I want to make friends with you. I also want to ask you how to play the few games just now.

Wu Zhe said to Ma San: "It's okay to make friends. You can call me Ah Zhe or Xiao Zhe, and I can also call you Sheng Sange. Do you think it's okay? As for the chess game, it's easy to say."

Ma San said happily: "Okay, it's too late for you to make my third brother happy."

After finishing talking, Wu Zhe was about to resume the game.

Wu Zhe waved his hand and said, "Third brother, wait a minute, I have something to do today, next time I'm exchanging chess games, do you think it's okay?"

Ma San immediately said: "Okay, Ah Zhe, you can do things first, do you want me to help? Ma San still has a bit of face in the park in the city."

Wu Zhe pointed to the money on the chess stand and said to Ma San: "This money, third brother, look..."

"Of course it belongs to you, Ah Zhe. No matter what, the rules of this longevity building cannot be broken. There is no rule without rules. If the rules are broken, there will be no business in the future." Ma San said with a serious face.

"Then I won't be polite." Wu Zhe collected the money.

He said to Ma San: "Goodbye, third brother, I will go to work first."

Wu Zhe got up and was about to leave, but Ma San replied, "That's fine, by the way, brother, what are you going to do?"

Wu Zhe said with a relaxed smile: "Sweep the field, play here again." After finishing speaking, he went to an empty chess booth without waiting for Ma San's reaction.

Ma Sanyi didn't react yet. "Oh, sweep the field, play it again. Fuck! Wu Zhe came here to sweep the Duoshou Building, commonly known as: kick the field."

Ma San was startled, fearing that the little brother he had just met would suffer, so he hurried over to have a look.

Same style, same result.Checkmate for five turns.

When Ma San came to Wu Zhe, Wu Zhe had already played three rounds, put away the 80 yuan on the table, and saw Ma San.

He said to Ma San: "Third brother, you don't want to look at the stall! Why are you running here?"

Ma San glared at Wu Zhe and said, "I'm not worried about you kid."

Ma San was afraid that Wu Zhe was young and would be dazed.If you win a lot of money, you will be robbed.After all, there are a lot of people of the three religions and nine streams here, and there are also many people who are in the mixed society.He was watching from the sidelines, at least giving him some face.

Wu Zhe also knew what Ma San was thinking. Although he was not afraid, Wu Zhe was still grateful for people caring about him.

So he said to Ma San: "Please trouble third brother, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, I will only order three dishes for each stall."

Ma San also breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said: "That's okay, that's okay." He didn't go back to his booth, and followed Wu Zhe.

Wu Zhe didn't talk too much, and continued to find a chess stand to practice.

An hour later, all the endgame stall owners were staring blankly at Wu Zhe, who was still playing chess.

None of the more than 50 residual chess stall owners were spared.It's all three rounds, checkmate in five moves.

Each stall owner lost seventy, not much money.It was nothing at first, I met more masters every year, and it is normal to lose and win.

But it just happened to be meal time, and three or five people ate and chatted together, which was incredible.I have encountered this situation.

The news spread faster and faster, and it didn't take long for it to spread throughout the Longevity Building.

Someone Ma San wanted to know came over to ask about Ma San's situation, but Ma San was dead anyway.

You must know that among these stall owners, everyone has the craftsmanship of hand pressing the bottom of the box, otherwise they would not be able to stand here.But they were all cleaned up by Wu Zhe like chopping melons and vegetables.

As time passed, Ma San admired Wu Zhe more and more. Despite his young age, he was calm and introverted.Even when he wins chess, he never condescends, and sometimes chats with the stall owner for advice.

What convinced Ma San even more was that Wu Zhe asked Ma San to help collect the money.Let someone you meet for the first time keep the money.

Even though each booth only won 70 yuan, Wu Zhe couldn't fit it in his beach pants.Simply give it to Ma San for safekeeping.
