Majiang is actually the predecessor of Mahjong, but at that time it was still a kind of playing cards. There were four suits: Shiwanguan, Wanguan, Suozi, and Wenqian, with a total of 40 cards. When four people played, each person took 8 cards.
The remaining 8 cards are placed in the middle of the table. The four players take turns to play and take cards, playing cards to beat small ones.
There are two positions: Banker and Player. The Banker has no fixed owner, so the position can be rotated. Therefore, the three Players work together to attack the Banker, forcing him to lose the Banker position.
This is very similar to the modern game of Landlord.
Xue Huan had never played Mahjong before, and she herself had never played it before, so she didn't know how to play it.
Ye Fu volunteered to teach her, sat next to her, explained the rules to her, and gave her advice.
The old lady laughed and said, "You always lose money when you play by yourself, and you still want to teach the fairy girl."
Ye Fu snorted proudly, "Grandma, who are you looking down on? I promise to teach Sister Xiaoxian how to do it! Just leave it to me."
She made big promises, but in fact she herself was not sure.
After all, her card skills are really bad. She is just at the level where she knows the rules of the game and can play. She is completely incomparable to her grandmother, her mother, and her sister-in-law.
The three-person mahjong technique is exquisite.
She is ashamed of herself.
Thinking of this, she whispered to Xue Huan, "Sister Xiaoxian, it's okay. Just play as much as you want. If you win, it's yours, and if you lose, it's mine."
Her little treasury is very sufficient, so she can afford to lose.
Xue Huan teased her deliberately, "What if I keep losing?"
Ye Fu bit her handkerchief and said, "Not really, right?" If that were the case, her little treasury would shrink to a huge size!
Xue Huan laughed, "Don't worry, my luck isn't that bad."
In her previous life, she was a mahjong master. She often played cards with her grandfather and his group of old friends. Those old men were all masters, but she was still able to stand out in the battle of heroes.
So her mahjong skills have been tested.
Now it has changed to Majiang. Although the rules of the game are slightly different, it does not pose a problem for her.
In the first game, the eldest lady was the banker, and Xue Huan won easily under the leadership of the two great teammates, the old lady and Qin.
In the second game, it was the old lady's turn to be the banker. The eldest lady and Qin both deliberately let her win to make her happy.
Xue Huan naturally wouldn't intervene, so she followed the other two's rhythm. However, she couldn't stand Ye Fu, who was sitting next to her, constantly revealing her cards. "Sister Xiaoxian, hurry up and play your cards! Push my breasts down!"
Since she had already called out the number, Xue Huan could only pretend that she had just realized that she still had a big card and played it out.
In the end, she won this round.
Ye Fu was even happier than if she had won, and kept cheering.
The eldest lady said angrily, "What a fuss! If it gets out, they'll think I'm the Ye family's daughter and I'm unruly."
Ye Fu immediately stopped smiling, straightened her chest and abdomen, placed her hands on her legs, looking dignified and reserved, and even gave the eldest lady a smug look.
The old lady even "aided and abetted" the evil: "I think our Fu'er has very good manners and etiquette. Besides, there are no outsiders here, so what is there to be afraid of?"
The eldest lady couldn't argue with the grandparents and grandchildren, so she could only shake her head and sigh.
When it was her turn to draw the cards, she immediately stopped caring about her troublesome daughter.
After playing mahjong round after round, time unknowingly reached noon and Xue Huan was asked to stay for lunch.
After dinner, several women sat and chatted to help digest the food. When the old lady woke up from her nap, the mahjong table was set up again.
At a certain moment, Ye Fu suddenly called out, "Hey, Sister Xiaoxian, is the ice cream frozen now?"
Xue Huan asked the time, and Haitang, who was beside the old lady, said, "It's already the end of the afternoon."
"Then I guess it should be fine."
So the old lady immediately threw the cards in her hand onto the table and said, "Let's go and take a look."
The eldest lady held down her anxious mother-in-law and said, "Mother, it's sunny outside. Just sit down and let the maid go."
Qin asked her personal maid Lusong to get the ice cream from the ice cellar. Lusong brought two maids with her.
Ye Fu couldn't help herself and ran over as well.
Not long after, Ye Fu ran in first, "It's frozen, it's frozen!" Her excitement was beyond words.
Lusong and the little maid brought in the food box. There was ice in the food box, so the ice cream didn't melt much during the journey.
When you open the lid, a cool, milky aroma wafts out.
Xue Huan looked at it and nodded, "This time the ice cream was a success."
Ye Fu asked, "Is it okay to eat now?"
After getting her affirmative answer, her eyes suddenly brightened up several degrees.
The old lady also watched eagerly.
Xue Huan took the ice cream out of the mold and gave it to the old lady first, then the eldest lady, Qin, then Ye Fu, and finally it was her turn.
After dividing it, there were only three left in the lunch box.
Since it was her first time, Xue Huan didn't do too much, so as to avoid wasting materials if it failed, right?
There were only three, not enough to share, so Qin didn't ask the maid to give them to other masters in the mansion.
Anyway, she has mastered the method of making ice cream now, so she can have as much as she wants in the future, right?
Xue Huan took a bite and had her first bite of ice cream since coming to this era.
The milky flavor is rich, the sweetness is a little lighter, and overall it is still very delicious. The most important thing is that it relieves the heat! After eating one, I feel that all the heat in my body has dissipated.
The whole body feels cool.
Ye Fu: "Ah, so icy and cold, but so delicious!"
The others also nodded.
The old lady's childish temper came back. Before she finished eating the one in her hand, she was already thinking about the remaining three. "Haitang, help me put those three away."
The eldest lady and Qin looked at each other, both feeling helpless.
Xue Huan smiled and said, "Madam, ice cream is a cold food. Don't eat too much, otherwise your stomach won't be able to handle it. One a day is enough."
Hearing her say this, the old lady looked at the remaining ice cream reluctantly and asked, "Can I still eat it tomorrow?"
Qin said, "Grandma, Xiaoxian has already taught the recipe to my maid. If you want to eat it, I can have someone make it for you anytime."
The old lady was delighted at first, then she said anxiously, "Why did Xiaoxian tell you the recipe? We can't take advantage of her like this."
Qin explained, "Grandma, Xiaoxian and I are planning to open a shop together. She'll provide the recipe, and I'll provide the staff and the shop. We'll specialize in selling ice cream, and we'll split the profits 50-50."
The old lady nodded and said, "Well, that's about right."
Ye Fu came over flatteringly, "Sister-in-law, can you take me with you on your business?"
She had already anticipated how prosperous the ice cream business would be. It was definitely a sure win! If she followed Sister Xiaoxian and her sister-in-law, wouldn't her little coffers be filled up in minutes?
Before Qin could speak, the eldest lady scolded her, "Fu'er."
There was disapproval in his eyes.
Ye Fu was not the ignorant sister-in-law after all. She realized that something was wrong and laughed it off. "Sister-in-law, I'm just joking with you. Don't take it seriously."
The matter was just passed over.
