Chapter 692: What Does the Heroine's Escape Have to Do with Me?
Aunt Rong quietly walked to Ah Cai's side and said in a low voice, "Miss, recently many old ladies from the Tong family have been coming to our old house to chat with your grandmother."
Hearing this, Aunt Gu couldn't help but frown and complain: "What? People come here every day these days. What on earth is there to talk about? In just a few days, I'm afraid they've talked about everything that happened over the past few years!"
However, the clever Ah Cai's eyes rolled around, and a brilliant idea suddenly flashed through her mind.
She just smiled slightly, then closed her eyes, concentrated her mind and used her powerful will to enter the mysterious [Home], and quickly found the magical [Universal Processing Workshop] there.
There, Ah Cai displayed his magical powers and successfully produced several sets of exquisite mahjong tiles in just a few moments.
These mahjong tiles are not ordinary items. They are carefully crafted from the bones of rare monsters in the world of immortal cultivation. Each mahjong tile exudes a faint aura and unique luster.
Ah Cai happily picked up a set of freshly made mahjong and weighed it gently.
He nodded with satisfaction and muttered to himself, "Hmm, they feel really heavy. The quality is quite good! Matrons, please quickly send these mahjong sets to Grandpa and Grandma."
She then added:
"Everyone is free on weekdays anyway, so why not let them play a few rounds of mahjong to relieve their boredom?
This kind of interesting entertainment activity is best carried out in the backyard.
If you want to chat, just talk freely.
If I don't want to talk much and can just quietly concentrate on playing mahjong, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"
"This bone feels really good to the touch. Grandpa and the old lady will definitely like it." Aunt Gu also reached out and touched the mahjong made of monster bones.
Ah Cai turned around, looked at the people behind her seriously, and whispered, "Have you all remembered what to say? Regarding the origin of this mahjong!"
Rong Mama, standing nearby, had a smile on her face and nodded hurriedly in agreement, "Young lady, we all know exactly what's going on! This is a new trend in the market, and it's a gift from the shopkeepers."
Hearing this, Acai nodded with satisfaction, then turned and walked to a pile of neatly arranged items.
She reached out and gently touched those things, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.
It turned out that what was piled up here were mahjong tiles made of various materials that had just been processed.
There are mahjong tiles made of emerald green bamboo with clear texture.
There are also mahjong pieces made of warm, delicate and crystal clear jade.
There are also mahjong tiles made of hard nanmu wood that exudes a faint fragrance.
Ah Cai pointed at the exquisite mahjong tiles and ordered in an orderly manner, "Move all of these out and give them to our shopkeepers.
However, except for the mahjong made of bamboo, the others can be sold directly.
These bamboos are all precious spiritual bamboos, let the shopkeepers take them and play with them!"
...
Front yard of the Tong family's old house
I saw the clever and well-behaved servant Mo Chi carefully holding the mahjong tiles made of monster bones, and slowly placing them neatly on the antique eight-immortal table.
His face was filled with excitement and pride, and he took the initiative to introduce the new and unique way of playing mahjong that he had just learned to several respected members of the Tong family sitting in the front hall.
The tribesmen were originally enjoying tea and chatting leisurely, but after hearing Mo Chi's words, they gathered around curiously to find out what was going on.
The old man of the Tong family, who was old but energetic, became interested when he saw this rare item.
He immediately and enthusiastically asked everyone to get together and quickly opened two tables to experience this new thing.
For a moment, the entire front hall was bustling with activity, and Mo Chi was like a busy little bee, shuttling among the crowd.
He was very busy, patiently teaching one of the tribesmen how to play cards, and then carefully explaining the rules to another.
Among the many learners, Mr. Tong Sanye Tong Yan was the most gifted and he mastered the tricks in a short time.
He happily took a brand new set of mahjong from Mo Chi and hurried out. It turned out that he couldn't wait to find his friends to share this joy and exchange skills.
Over here, the old man of the Tong family was playing mahjong with great concentration, muttering to himself from time to time, "Hey, this thing is really good! When we old guys feel like chatting, we can just chat for a few words. If we're too lazy to talk, we can just play cards. We don't have to worry about sitting around chatting for a long time!"
Old Butler Qi, who was playing alongside to make up the numbers, nodded repeatedly in agreement, "That's right! Even those who don't usually talk much can now get together and play a few rounds of mahjong, freely and comfortably."
Old Master Tong sat on the armchair, his eyes fixed on the busy servant Mo Chi, and asked, "Didn't you send a few sets of mahjong to our old lady? So that they can have some fun in the backyard."
When Mo Chi heard the question, he quickly trotted over to Old Master Tong and replied with a smile on his face, "Of course not! As soon as we got these mahjong sets, our Ninth Miss couldn't wait to tell us to rush them over to Old Master and Old Madam."
He paused for a moment, then added, "As for the old lady, she sent a few maids to deliver it specially. And, the mahjong tiles they sent were made of bones, just like the ones you have here."
After saying this, Mo Chi did not forget to nod in a flattering manner towards Old Master Tong.
After hearing this, Old Master Tong raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with interest, "Oh? There are actually other materials used to make mahjong? Tell me what they are."
Mo Chi quickly responded, "Yes, Master, there are some. Besides bone, there are also bamboo mahjong tiles. The bamboo mahjong tiles are light and flexible. There are also tiles carved from jade, which are crystal clear and beautiful. There are also tiles made from nanmu, which have beautiful textures and a strong texture. There are also tiles made from precious sandalwood, which emit bursts of fragrance."
At this point, Mo Chi pointed to the neatly arranged mahjong tiles on the table and continued, "But when it comes to quality, the dominoes you're playing with right now are meticulously crafted from bone."
At this moment, Old Master Tong just reached out and picked up a red middle card from the deck. He was delighted and shouted loudly: "Haha, self-drawn, I won!"
Then, he turned his head contentedly, glanced at Mo Chi, and said in a feigned anger, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring me a cup of hot tea. You're really becoming less and less tactful."
Mo Chi didn't dare to delay for even a second. He hurriedly ran out of the door, shouting loudly for the maids to come quickly.
After a while, a group of maids in uniform came hurriedly.
Their movements were skillful and quick. Some of them picked up the exquisite teapots and carefully poured the steaming hot tea into the teacups; others held up the trays filled with various pastries and placed them carefully on the table in the living room.
The living room was bustling with activity at this moment. Several old men were sitting around the spacious eight-immortals table, playing mahjong with great interest.
Next to this eight-immortal table, there is a small table filled with various fruits and fruit cores, as well as tea and cakes that exude an enticing aroma.
Just as everyone was enjoying themselves, the kitchen sent some new delicacies.
The first thing that catches your eye is the golden date cakes. The sweet and delicious smell seems to penetrate into people's noses through the air.
Next is the crystal clear water chestnut cake, which is as lovely as crystal.
Then there is the red bean cake with a delicate texture, which is sweet but not greasy and leaves a lasting aftertaste.
Finally, there is the pumpkin pie which is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It is full of rich pumpkin flavor when you take a bite.
