Chapter 25 I can't bear it when I'm familiar

After Qian Xiaoxing thanked the carpenters one by one, he led everyone to see Carpenter Sun make mahjong. He saw that Carpenter Sun chiseled a groove on a wooden board in order to make the mahjong blocks of the same size and put the mahjong blocks inwards. If they couldn't put them in, they would be too big. It was easy to put them in, but they were too small. Each piece was carefully compared...

When the other carpenters heard Carpenter Sun's explanation, they helped make it together. After a while, one hundred and forty-four mahjong plaques of the same size were completed.

Qian Xiaoxing carefully checked it and after confirming that the size was correct, he asked everyone to polish the water chestnuts of the mahjong blocks slightly so that it would feel better when grasped on his hands.

After the polishing is completed, it is the key to carving. Qian Xiaoxing asked Carpenter Sun to choose four carpenters who are good at carving, and engrave the tube, ten thousand words, and the wind wrigley respectively.

Qian Xiaoxing first drew the pattern on the mahjong blocks before the carpenters were allowed to carve the patterns, and the patterns remained basically the same as modern mahjong.

However, after looking at a few carved mahjong pieces, I always felt that it was wrong, and it turned out that there was no color.

"Caring Machine Sun, can you apply some color on this?" Qian Xiaoxing asked.

"I don't know what color you want?"

“Black, red, green ones are better.”

"There are all these colors, but it will take a day to apply it after applying it."

"That's it. I'll need to install waterways and other things tomorrow, and I'll need two people. You can bring the paint here and apply it tomorrow." There is no color, so I'll rub it a few times at night. Qian Xiaoxing thought, but he didn't expect that after he traveled through time, the first one he made was a mahjong.

After a while, the carpenters carved the patterns. The furniture, windows and other furniture made by carpenters, and the figures of dragons and phoenixes are all carved. These small patterns are naturally no problem. Although they are strange about the purpose of this thing, they didn't ask much.

Qian Xiaoxing checked it and reprocessed some places slightly. A complete mahjong was ready. Then, Carpenter Sun made two small square pieces of wood, and carved them with points and dice.

After finishing it, it was too late, so everyone packed up the tools and prepared to go home. Qian Xiaoxing asked Carpenter Sun to calculate the wages, six cents for the six people, one tael and five cents for the wood, plus the rosewood used to make mahjong, the total was two tael and five cents.

"And what you paid yesterday?" Qian Xiaoxing remembered that Carpenter Sun and Carpenter Li had worked for a day yesterday.

"You ladies have paid for this yesterday."

"Oh, that's great." Unexpectedly, the always harsh lady would pay herself.

Lan Xiaocui went back early because she wanted to cook. After Qian Xiaoxing paid, she remembered that she had forgotten to make a box for mahjong. She would let the carpenter go to the whole box tomorrow. So she wrapped the mahjong blocks in the underside of the robe, walked back to the Sihe Courtyard, and then returned to the courtyard after a while.

When I entered the yard, I saw Lan Xiaocui still cooking, and the lady was already sitting in the dining room waiting.

“How is it done?”

Qian Xiaoxing put the mahjong on the table and said, "It's done, look."

Fang Ying glanced at Qian Xiaoxing and said, "Who asked you this, how about the water truck you made?"

"As long as I go on a horse, of course I will turn white in the east, west, south, north and middle, and I will be invincible." Qian Xiaoxing touched the mahjong with his hand, and the touch felt it was red.

"Speak seriously!" Fang Ying said seriously.

"Yes, yes, the smallest one is that the water truck has been done and it is very successful." Qian Xiaoxing said with his head down.

"What are these mahjong you said? Is it as fun as you said?" Fang Ying had heard Lan Xiaocui mention mahjong and picked up a few pieces with her hands and was playing.

"There is still a falsehood. Our era, no, is it our place, and people all over the country like to play, what about the national treasures."

"Then tell me how to play?" Fang Ying also asked curiously.

Qian Xiaoxing taught the basic knowledge of mahjong. Before he finished speaking, Lan Xiaocui had already served the meal and prepared to start the meal.

"Let's have dinner first." Lan Xiaocui said as they occupied the table.

"Well, have a meal first, Xiao Cui brings me the roasted fish." Fang Ying said.

"What, Xiao Cui, didn't you say you finished eating at noon? Why are there still fish?" Qian Xiaoxing asked nervously.

"I only cooked one at noon. We finished eating. In the evening, the lady cooked another one. The lady said she wanted to review the method of cooking, otherwise it would be easy to forget." Lan Xiaocui replied.

"Oh, that's fine," Qian Xiaoxing thought of Fang Ying and cooked it twice, and it would never be very unpalatable.

Lan Xiaocui arranged the meal, called the housekeeper, and started eating together.

"9527, I ate that plate of fish, I cooked it for you alone. You are so lucky." Fang Ying moved the fish to Qian Xiaoxing.

Qian Xiaoxing looked at the fish on the plate. It was dark and seemed to be burnt. He picked up one piece and tasted it, and he stuck out his tongue. The taste was bitter, salty, and very fishy.

"Miss, does this salt cost money? Is that ginger very expensive? Why should you keep putting it and try your best to put it? Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but say.

Fang Yingmei glared at her eyes and said, "What, I don't think it tastes delicious again?"

Qian Xiaoxing asked Lan Xiaocui in a low voice: "Xiaocui, didn't you say that the cooking was delicious at noon? That's it?"

"I was teaching the lady aside at noon. During dinner, the lady said she could cook it, so she wouldn't let me teach her anymore." Lan Xiaocui replied in a low voice: "I'm sorry, 9527."

"Ah!" Qian Xiaoxing immediately collapsed there when he heard this. He had known that he would have come back to eat at noon. His plan really couldn't keep up with the changes.

"Why don't you eat? Eat quickly, don't waste it. I'm optimistic about you!" Fang Ying stared at Qian Xiaoxing and said.

"Eat, I'll eat it." Qian Xiaoxing thought that after all, it was cooked and it would not be slaughtered. He picked up a large piece and ate it. Not to mention that the scorched and salty ones were all on the fish skin, and the meat inside was very tender and not so unpalatable. Qian Xiaoxing admired his courage to try.

"9527, I have done a lot of physical work recently. You have to eat all of it to replenish your body." Fang Ying said with a smile when he saw that he did not eat fish skin.

"Miss is also very tired when making air conditioners for me. You can eat some food," Qian Xiaoxing said, picking up the dishes for Fang Ying.

"Thank you, 9527, you can eat more other dishes, eat this." Fang Ying also picked up the dishes for Qian Xiaoxing.

"Why don't you eat it, Miss?"

"You just picked garlic for me." Fang Ying said angrily.

"Then you can pick up ginger for me."

"Ginger can remove wind and cold and promote blood circulation. Men should eat more," Fang Ying said.

"Garlic can cure all diseases and can also drive away evil spirits. Women should eat more even if they are weak."

"9527 Then you can have some chopped green onion to moisten the intestines."

"Miss, then you can have some cinnamon to make your salivation."

"9527 Let's have another bowl of raw lard to relieve bowel movements."

"Miss, please take a piece of chicken butt to maintain your skin."
