Liu Ji and Qin Feng took the firecrackers and went to the door to set them off.

Their restaurant is the first one to eat in Kuanzhengfang.

As soon as the firecrackers sounded, the rest of the neighbors followed suit and set off firecrackers.

Amidst the noise, Ma Yang stood up with his glass in hand, took a deep breath with deep emotion, and said:

"I have a lot to say, so I won't say anything corny. It is the greatest blessing in my life that I can spend New Year's Eve with you all this year."

"Master Liu!" Ma Yang greeted Liu Ji: "I wish that we can all pass the imperial examinations in the coming spring!"

Liu Ji liked to hear this, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it all with Ma Yang.

After the two of them sat down again, the New Year's Eve banquet officially began.

They were all ordinary people, not so concerned about rules. Everyone relaxed, ate and drank, and spoke freely.

The bayberry wine brewed by Yin Le was quite intoxicating. The three brothers and sisters of Dalang curiously tasted a few more sips. At first they felt it was sour, but after savoring it they found it sweet.

Then, before I knew it, I had drunk a whole bowl of it.

When the adults on Qin Yao's side noticed snoring coming from under the table, they looked down and found that Erlang, Sanlang, and Si Niang were all sleeping under the table.

There was only a dizzy Dalang trying to save his younger brothers and sisters.

But there were countless brothers and sisters in front of him, and when he reached out to grab them, there was nothing but air.

Such a funny scene made everyone laugh.

Liu Ji slapped his thigh and said, "This is all just embarrassing stuff!"

But they had to quickly call Awang and Yin Le to pull the children out.

For fear that they would catch a cold, they were all arranged to sit on a large couch in the flower hall next door, with a charcoal fire burning and a small window half opened.

Bayberry wine won’t really make you drunk. You’ll wake up after sleeping for about half an hour.

The whole family has to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year.

In previous years, Qin Yao always felt a little bored when staying up in the village to celebrate the New Year. After midnight, she would set off firecrackers, burn incense, and then go to sleep.

Anyway, they have no elders to supervise them, so they can do whatever they want.

This time, Qin Feng did not allow everyone to go to sleep. He asked Chun Zao to bring a box and said to everyone mysteriously:

"With the treasures in this box, I guarantee you won't want to sleep at all tonight and will stay awake until dawn."

After that, under everyone's curious gaze, he opened the box and poured it onto the square table.

There was a pleasant sound of jade colliding, and everyone looked in surprise, and saw that they were small rectangular pieces of jade.

There are also patterns carved on this piece of jade, and strange red and green patterns are outlined with colored dyes.

Except for Qin Yao who showed a surprised expression, the rest of the people all looked at Qin Feng curiously.

Liu Ji asked: "Uncle, what is this?"

Qin Feng laughed and said, "This is Pai Gow. The gameplay is ingenious and addictive!"

Qin Yao thought to herself, isn’t this the quintessence of Chinese culture, mahjong?

They look the same, but the way they are played is quite different.

Qin Yao was not very interested and asked Yin Le to go to the table for her.

The remaining three are Qin Feng, Liu Ji and Ma Yang.

Qin Feng explained the rules again and led everyone through three rounds, and everyone basically mastered them.

But the one who could have fun was Liu Ji.

Yin Le and Ma Yang just felt that this thing had to guard against the player above and below, and also to count other people's cards, which was very tiring.

Liu Ji, however, felt that this thing was born for him.

After three rounds, all the cards have been memorized.

With a quick calculation at the card table, he could roughly figure out what cards the other three players would have and what cards they would play.

In the following few games, he was the first to win.

Yin Le yelled, "It's boring, it's boring, I don't want to play anymore!"

Ma Yang was embarrassed to say it, but he also felt very tired. After playing Pai Gow, he felt even more sleepy.

Awang patted Ma Yang's shoulder and said, "I'll do it."

He had just watched the battle for a long time and now he had figured out the trick.

Liu Ji suggested: "Why don't we place some bets? This way, winning or losing will be more interesting. What do you think, uncle?"

Qin Feng glanced at Liu Ji warily. In fact, the way to play Pai Gow is to add stakes.

He didn't say it because everyone was a novice and it would be too exciting to place a bet right away.

Unexpectedly, before he could say anything, his cheap brother-in-law Liu Ji figured it out first.

Qin Feng was speechless for a moment, not knowing whether to say that his brother-in-law was smart or playful.

Qin Yao sat in Yin Le's seat and smiled, "A little gambling can cheer you up. How about starting with a penny?" Awang responded immediately. He stared at his master Liu Ji with shining eyes and was almost impatient.

Liu Ji glared back warningly, "Even one cent will do."

Qin Feng laughed helplessly, "Come on then."

Afraid that Qin Yao didn't understand the rules because she hadn't gotten started yet, he added, "Everyone, accompany Yao Niang for one round first, so she can get familiar with it."

Qin Yao raised her hand: "No, I've already watched it."

Qin Feng: "My sister is just smart."

Everyone: "."

The game officially begins.

Qin Feng and Awang sat facing each other.

Qin Yao and Liu Jin sat opposite each other from north to south, with someone between them.

Although I know that my sister may not feed cards to her cheap brother-in-law.

But there is no family affection at the card table, so Qin Feng ruthlessly separated the two of them just in case.

However, in the following games, except for the first hand where Awang won first.

Qin Yao won every time for the remaining seven games.

At first, Qin Yao thought that she was blessed by nature and that her luck was too good today.

But after winning five games in a row, she felt a little nervous.

When he played the seventh time, he glanced at Liu Ji inadvertently.

I found that this guy was looking at me with one hand on his chin, laughing wildly, and flicking a card with his finger seemingly casually.

Qin Yao was pleasantly surprised to find that she could keep this card.

However, Liu Ji's next husband is Awang, and she can only take him if Awang can't afford it.

But the surprise is that Awang really doesn’t want it.

Not surprisingly, Qin Yao won again.

Liu Ji was particularly supportive: "My lady, you are amazing! You are definitely the best in the world!"

Qin Yao coughed twice, suppressed the corners of her mouth that wanted to rise uncontrollably, and came to the eighth round.

She won again this time.

Looking at Liu Ji's wild smile, Qin Yao would have understood even if she was a fool - this guy has been helping her win cards!

Liu Ji was in high spirits. He was happy when his wife was happy. Hehe~
"Come again, come again!" He took the initiative to call his uncle and Awang who had lost all confidence.

A small game of cards can make your wife happy, so why not do it?

Awang frowned, suddenly scattered Liu Ji's hand, and asked:

"how did you do that?"

Qin Feng was confused: "What? What happened?"

With only a penny as the starting point, you can’t even afford this?

Is his sister so harsh to Awang?
Obviously, things are not that simple.

Awang pointed at the smiling Liu Ji and said firmly, "He cheated."

Liu Ji said seriously: "I didn't."

How can it be considered cheating when he helped his wife win the game with his own skills?

Awang: “You have!”

Qin Yao coughed twice and stood up awkwardly: "I'm tired, who will take my place?"

Yin Le raised his hand actively: "Master, me, me, me!"

She felt it was boring just now because she didn't have money to play with, but now she is very interested in it.

Qin Yao nodded and withdrew.

Before retreating, he glanced at Liu Ji.

You can do it, boy!
Liu Ji's breathing quickened, and a blush unconsciously crept up to the tips of his ears. He felt that his heart was sweeter than drinking honey.

"Hehe. Hehe" grinning foolishly.

Having finally caught a good hand, Awang shouted excitedly, "Master, it's your turn to play!"

Liu Ji was startled, and all the beautiful feelings in his heart disappeared. Only Awang's excited smiling face remained in front of him.

Liu Ji took a deep breath. He realized that he couldn't win by fighting, so he could only outsmart him.

Then let him, the master, spend more effort to empty the private money of this unromantic bachelor Wang! (End of this chapter)
