The next morning, Song Yuehua took Zhang Dandan's donkey cart to the county town.
The Feng family's father and daughter were also in the car. Father Feng nodded slightly at her. Xiao Cui came over to talk to her, "Boss, are you going so early too?"
"Yes, there is a competition going on in the chess hall, I have to go over and keep an eye on it." Song Yuehua said.
Xiao Cui asked, "Are there a lot of people?"
"There should be quite a lot." Song Yuehua remembered that Xiaofu said the day before yesterday that there were more than fifty people who had signed up.
Xiao Cui came closer and said, "Let me help. I don't have much to carry today."
There are quite a lot of things in the two baskets, not too little.
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but there are people working in the chess hall, so you can go and do your own thing."
"Boss..." Xiao Cui wanted to say something, but Song Yuehua called Zhang Dandan.
This was her first time riding a donkey cart.
A little donkey with black and white hair, it looked quite normal, at least it walked steadily along the way.
"This donkey is pretty good." Song Yuehua said.
Zhang Dandan chuckled and said, "Yes, it took a lot of effort to stop it from kicking me."
"What does this mean?" Song Yuehua asked.
Tang Yuan said with some pride, "When we first bought this donkey, it would kick anyone who got close to it. It was almost sent to a restaurant to be eaten directly. We were able to buy it thanks to its madness."
"After we got it back, we stared at the donkey through the straw trough and took turns to tease it. Finally, we subdued it."
Song Yuehua found it novel. "I've only heard of hawks being trained, but I didn't expect donkeys could also be trained."
"We have no other choice. It won't let anyone get close to it and will just kick anyone it sees. It's useless." Zhang Dandan said helplessly.
Anyway, it's useful now. The little hooves make a clattering sound when it runs.
After arriving at the county town, Song Yuehua left first. Xiao Cui picked up the basket and said a few words to Feng's father, who then took over the burden.
"Sister Xiao Cui, aren't you going to set up a stall today?" Zhang Dandan asked.
Xiao Cui hummed, "I'll go to the chess hall to help."
Zhang Dandan smiled and said nothing.
Chess hall.
Song Yuehua arrived earlier, Xiaofu and Xiaoyu arrived even earlier, and Pan Le also helped while calling Xiang Chen Master.
"Are you becoming a disciple?" Song Yuehua asked with a smile.
Xiang Xiaoyu shook her head. "My brother didn't want to, saying that he didn't have the ability to be a master. The little girl called me that herself."
"oh."
This kind of thing depends on Pan Le's perseverance.
"How was yesterday? Did it go well?" Song Yuehua asked about yesterday's competition.
Xiaoyu nodded, "There are 60 people in total, 30 tables, and 30 people will win. Today is the second round, with a total of 15 tables. The winners today will draw their opponents, and there will be another bye."
Song Yuehua came over and looked through the account book. A lot of set meals were sold yesterday, as well as a lot of sweet soup and tea.
"Today we will set up the 15 tables separately, and put the empty tables together, so we can make some money from the chess tables." Xiaofu said to Xiaoyu.
"OK."
Xiang Chen looked a little nervous.
Song Yuehua went over to talk to him, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Boss, I..."
Seeing his tense look, Song Yuehua comforted him, "If you win, I will convert the set meal into silver for you. If you can't win, it doesn't matter, you can still be the chess master in our chess hall."
"Boss..." Xiang Chen was so nervous that he was speechless.
Xiaofu smiled and said, "Brother Xiang Chen, you have won the Tianyuan Award once, what are you afraid of?"
Xiang Chen, "..."
Not knowing how to respond, Xiang Chen left in panic.
After a while, Master Yi also came over with the list of winners from yesterday.
"The list of people who will face Yi today was drawn out yesterday. It's posted at the door and is also recorded here." Master Yi handed the list to Song Yuehua.
As the two were talking, Fourth Master Zuo, Master Mu, and Master Bai also came over.
"Master Yi, can we have a game of soup later?" Mr. Mu invited.
Master Yi laughed and said, "Definitely."
Zuo Siye said again, "How about we not go home until we are drunk tonight?"
"How can you play chess when you are drunk?" said Bai Ye.
Master Yi said, "It's not good to drink while playing chess. We can have tea instead of wine and still enjoy it."
"Okay, okay!" Mr. Mu responded.
The four old men ordered a pot of tea and started talking to themselves.
Song Yuehua looked through the list of winners from yesterday.
"Qi Juncai..."
The first name written on the list is Qi Juncai.
This person actually came too.
There are many familiar people on the list. The three of Mr. Zuo Si are all there, but there is one missing from the four from the academy.
Song Yuehua looked at it for a while before asking, "Didn't Lu Cheng pass the first round yesterday?"
Zhao Xiaofu nodded, "Lu Cheng is facing the Fourth Master Zuo."
“No wonder.”
Song Yuehua suddenly laughed, "Zhang Rushan actually survived the first round."
"Is it strange that I survived the first round?" Zhang Rushan leaned against the counter and looked at him with a resentful look on his face.
Song Yuehua suppressed a laugh, "No, I mean, it's pretty impressive."
Zhang Rushan, "..."
"Who is your opponent today?" Song Yuehua asked.
Zhang Rushan took out the note in his hand and said, "Ma Liu."
Song Yuehua thought about it and said seriously, "Play well, Ma Liu is also very powerful."
Zhang Rushan didn't want to talk to her, so he left with a pot of tea.
After a while, Xiao Cui also came to the chess hall to help. Since she was already there, Song Yuehua didn't bother to be polite and asked her to go and help Xiang Xiaoyu.
Xiao Cui had just wiped a few tables when Yu Duocai hurried over to help.
