I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 98
On February [-], Li Xingxing followed Zhao Haiyun and others on the train to Yanjing after eating the perfect Buddha Jumping Over the Wall.

Express train, premium soft sleeper.

This is where Li Xingxing and his entourage live.

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

If you think the treatment is luxurious, you are wrong.

The James couple and Zhao Haiyun both lived in one bedroom, with a separate bathroom and dining room, as well as a reception room, which seemed to be a small and simple presidential suite.

The appearance of the train is no different from that of an ordinary green leather car.

Just what?
There is a universe inside.

Li Xingxing has gained a lot of knowledge. After 60 years, she did not enjoy this level of treatment when she took the train.

Compared with the speed of the train 60 years later, the train at this time is not fast. It is said that it will take [-] hours to reach Yanjing. The time is difficult. Zhao Haiyun taught James and his wife how to play mahjong.

Li Xingxing is not very good at playing mahjong.

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

For ten dollars a hand, I lost more than a dozen hands in a row.

"Xingxing, it turns out that there is something you can't. I won several games, but you didn't win one." Mrs. James covered her mouth with a smile, and a pink diamond dove egg on her ring finger shone in the light.

Li Xingxing's hands on the mahjong tiles were clean: "I'm an ordinary person, I can't be proficient in everything!"

Mrs. James likes to chat with her very much, because she is not as restrained as others, but has an indescribable free and easy, which is a kind of self-restraint and bearing that has seen the world.

Zhao Haiyun was secretly amazed at first, and later turned into admiration.

Really a wonderful person.

No matter what topic the James and his wife brought up, she could always catch a sentence or two, often laughing at herself and knowing a little about it.

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

Just like this moment, she talked to the James couple about the history of mahjong, "Mahjong tiles, also known as sparrow tiles, mahjong tiles are a kind of harmful bird, they like to steal food, it is said that the first mahjong tiles were from Taicang" Food protection card'."

"What is a ration card?" Mr. James interrupted her.

Mrs. James said, "The brand that protects the food? But I don't think the gameplay has anything to do with protecting the food."

"Related, the terminology of playing mahjong is inseparable from catching birds and protecting food. This has to be said many, many years ago. At that time, Taicang was the granary of the royal family. The loss was a lot, so the granary manager invented the food protection card to reward the subordinates who caught the birds and protected the food. The food protection card is a bamboo card that records the number of birds caught by the subordinates and is used to give out bonuses.”

Li Xingxing first told them the origin, and then picked up a mahjong, "The symbols, gameplay and terms above are actually related to catching birds. Wan is the unit of the bonus, and the barrel is a musket barrel. The rising bird..."

The touch is the sound of gunfire, and the same falcon, the falcon is the eagle that catches the bird, and so on and so on.

The James couple were eye-opening.

"Your ancestors are too whimsical! Harmony!" Mrs. James exclaimed 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 put a stack of big black ten in her hand and continue to play.

The conductor who brought them tea and water couldn't help but privately said to his colleagues, "Isn't the country banned from playing mahjong? They actually committed crimes against the wind. They played like crazy, and they lost a month's salary."

The doubts of the young conductor were exchanged for the silent ridicule of his colleagues.

An old senior kindly reminded: "No matter what they do, you can just watch, be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't judge. You haven't seen it, so it doesn't necessarily exist."
