Quick mission: We don't make trouble

Night fell over the earth, and a blazing bonfire burned in the center of the camp. The flames illuminated the surroundings and made people's faces red.

Mr. Zhu, Wang Xiangdong and Yu Bo were warmly invited to the campfire. Everyone sat around it and enjoyed the joyful atmosphere brought by the food and wine.

They tasted highland barley wine and savored the delicious fried deer meat and roasted rabbit meat, laughing and chatting constantly, and soon became part of this big family.

The crowd gradually split into three small groups.

A group of people surrounded Team Leader Yang, who then turned his gaze to Father Zhu and said, "I can tell from one look that Old Master Zhu is a man who has seen the world. Could you tell us about some interesting things happening outside so we can broaden our horizons?"

Everyone looked at Mr. Zhu eagerly.

Father Zhu thought: This team leader Yang is not tall, but he is very smart. He wants to find out the situation from me, but it is not difficult for me.

After a moment's hesitation, Mr. Zhu recounted his fascinating experiences as a young man, following his master into the mountains to collect herbs and practice medicine. He recounted his story with such gusto that everyone listened with fascination, feeling as if they were there themselves, experiencing the extraordinary events of those difficult years.

Another group pestered Wang Xiangdong and Yu Bo, curious about what the outside world was like. Wang Xiangdong wasn't a talkative person. He couldn't make up stories to please others, but he was also afraid of revealing any flaws. Remembering Mother Zhu's instructions, he just laughed and drank with the others. He had an amazing alcohol tolerance. He didn't flinch in the face of the crowd's harassment, and he drank several people in the caravan. Later, he challenged the caravan's two escorts to a duel of martial arts.

So, the group shouted excitedly and made way for a spacious area to witness this exciting contest.

The rest of the people surrounded Yu Bo, with curiosity glittering in their eyes.

Among them were Yang Wu and Yang Jiu, both of whom looked at Yu Bo expectantly.

Yu Bo looked at the people gathered around him, a hint of a smile on his face, and then he asked softly, "What games do you usually play? I come from the far west, where there is a game called poker. I wonder if you have ever played it before? It's very interesting. Do you want to play it together?"

After hearing this, Yang Jiu could no longer contain his excitement.

He remembered that he had promised Wu Di to go to the post station manager to buy paper. He had gone to great lengths to buy two sheets of thicker kraft paper and handed them to Wu Di. Only then did Wu Di agree to give them playing cards for them to play.

At this moment, facing this rare opportunity for actual combat, how could he let it go easily?

What's more, it cost a lot of money to buy those kraft papers.

Tubo itself was not good at papermaking, and all the paper was purchased from the Great Zhou, which was shockingly expensive.

Thinking of this, Yang Jiu couldn't help but feel a pang of pain.

But he was secretly thinking in his heart that he must earn back the money.

So, he chuckled inwardly and decided to turn his attention to his companions around him.

After all, the wool comes from the sheep!

So Yang Jiu responded, "Right now, only Fifth Brother and I know a little bit. We'll play with Young Master Yu first. If you want to learn, just watch from the side. If you don't understand, I'll explain it to you later."

He looked at Yu Bo and Yang Wu,

The two nodded.

Now there are only three of them who can do it.

Yang Wu also felt itchy.

Said: "Master Yu, let us play with you."

Yu Bo then pulled out a deck of playing cards from his pocket and said excitedly, "Let's not really play it, just practice. But we still have to record the wins and losses. How about this, we use pebbles as chips." As he spoke, each of them counted out ten pebbles.

"Okay, play however you want, let's get started."

Yu Bo carefully shuffled the playing cards, and then began to deal the cards one by one, thus kicking off a new round of Landlord game.

At this time, the people surrounding Yu Bo and others were mostly young people. They had good memory and a strong ability to accept new things. It didn't take long for them to recognize the playing cards. After watching Yu Bo and others play a few rounds, they understood the basic rules of Landlord.

When Yang Jiu lost all the stones in his hand, someone couldn't help but say, "Oh, Xiaojiu, your luck is not very good today. Let me change your luck for you!" After that, the man replaced Yang Jiu's position and continued to participate in the game.

Yang Jiu, who had been replaced, became the focus of everyone's questions. Everyone asked him various questions about Dou Dizhu, and Yang Jiu answered every question patiently.

As time went on, more and more people were attracted and gathered together.

Even the people surrounding Zhu's father looked over here, wondering why they were so excited and annoyed.

Father Zhu explained, "Oh, they're playing Landlord. Team Leader Yang, would you like to go over and take a look?"

Team leader Yang was also very curious about what Landlord was, so he stood up and walked outside the circle where Yu Bo and the others were.

When the people around saw Team Leader Yang coming, they automatically made way.

Team leader Yang stood behind Yu Bo, and Father Zhu was explaining to him how to play Landlord.

Once you understand the rules and how to play, the main thing is the actual operation, and the card types are ever-changing.

Yu Bo has been lucky tonight. I don’t know if it’s because he no longer has his nemesis Wu Di, or because his opponent is a rookie who has just learned and his level is not very high, but he has been sitting steadily in his position. The other two positions have been replaced by several people.

He had already won a lot of stone chips around him.

Unfortunately, it’s not silver.

But for the sake of future money, he also tried his best.

This was also the idea Wu Di gave him. He wanted to take the opportunity to teach more people how to play Landlord, so that their poker business would have a market in the future.

Now it was Yang Jiu and Yang Wu's turn to play, and the three of them started fighting again.

Team Leader Yang watched for a while and already knew how to play. He couldn't help but say, "We still have these playing cards. Why don't we find someone to practice with?"

Father Zhu said, "These playing cards are very common in our area. Almost everyone plays them. They're sold in every store. But because they're so common, we often forget to bring them with us when we go out. My granddaughter drew this deck herself on paper. She was in a hurry and only drew this one. It's not very durable. You can see the edges are curling... If they had a good printing studio and good paper, they would last longer."

Mr. Zhu’s words made Team Leader Yang’s eyes light up.

Holding Zhu's father's hand, he said, "The workshop is not a problem, and the good paper is not a problem. The only problem is how much do these playing cards sell for, and what is the profit?"

The first thing a businessman sees is always profit.

Mr. Zhu: Didi is right.

It looks like this poker card business is going to be a success.

So he made an excuse, "Well... you know I'm focused on studying medicine. I don't know much about business, and I don't know how much money I can make from this deck of cards. But my daughters should know. How about I have them talk to you tomorrow?"

Father Zhu looked at the second floor of the post station.

"They're probably all asleep by now."

Team Leader Yang: "I was too abrupt."

Father Zhu: "It's okay, it's okay."

He kicked Yu Bo's butt and said, "Xiao Yu, let Team Leader Yang play a few rounds and let him feel the charm of Landlord."

At this time, Yu Bo stood up and said, "Captain Yang, you come on. I'm the one who wins anyway, so you can lose as you please..."

He also pointed to the pile of stones.

Team Leader Yang was about to decline when Yang Wu and Yang Jiu shouted, "Brother, let's have a competition."

So he sat down too.

This night, without the tension and busyness of the day, people fully enjoy the tranquility and beauty of this moment.
