"Don't blame me, it's all because my brother's hot pot is so delicious."
The little girl was groaning because she was stretched so much, but she still didn't forget to make excuses for herself.
"How could it not be delicious? The soup base is made with lamb ribs, and the pork is fried with spices. Even state-owned restaurants wouldn't dare to prepare it this way. It's just that your brother doesn't take money seriously."
Xiao Qingyang was full of food and drink, and his whole body was warm. He was drinking tea and smoking Zhonghua cigarettes.
"You little greedy cat, only your brother can support you. If you were to live with any other family, you would definitely eat the whole family into poverty."
Mu Xue looked at her granddaughter with pity. This poor little girl lost her parents at the age of five, but fortunately she had a brother who loved her.
"How much can you eat? Your eldest grandson can earn money and won't let the family suffer in terms of food."
In both of his lives, Yang Baiyi loves cooking. Seeing his family enjoying their meal, Yang Baiyi feels a sense of accomplishment.
"It's more than just not feeling wronged! I haven't eaten so anxiously in the past twenty years.
Now when I wake up in the morning, I want to kowtow to myself in the mirror to thank myself for my courage.
Mom, how could I be so lucky to marry into such a blessed family?
Zhou Fengying leaned her head gently on her mother-in-law with a happy expression on her face.
"My dear daughter, Fuxing is lucky to marry you."
Mu Xue was also extremely satisfied with her daughter-in-law.
"Don't even think about going to bed early tonight. Let me teach you a new game."
Yang Baiyi went back to the room and took out two decks of cards.
Not only did the little girl have a full belly after the hot pot dinner that night, but the adults also ate a lot and had to digest the food before going to bed.
"Nephew, what are you holding in your hand?"
Xiao Fuxing took the deck of cards and looked them up and down.
"Uncle, these are playing cards, which are similar to flower cards, but the way they are played is different.
I'll teach you a two-on-one game. These two jokers together form a royal bomb. Four of the other cards together also form a bomb. Five of a kind or more form a straight. A pair must be three or more in a row. Three of a kind can be combined with one card or a pair. Four of a kind can be combined with two cards or two pairs. However, if you combine a card, it doesn't count as a bomb..."
The two-on-one game that Yang Baiyi mentioned is actually the Landlord game that was invented after the 1990s. Yang Baiyi advanced the timeline by more than 20 years.
But he can't use the name Dou Dizhu, as this name is somewhat taboo now.
There are wins and losses in Landlord, and it mainly depends on your card type and skills. If the peasant wins, it's okay, but if the landlord wins, then there is something wrong with your thinking.
The rules of playing Landlord are very simple. After Yang Baiyi explained it once, everyone understood the general idea.
"Sounds interesting, let's try it."
Xiao Fuxing urged Yang Baiyi to start quickly.
"Brother, I want to play too. I want to play too."
When the little girl heard such a new way of playing, she stopped letting her grandma rub her belly and ran to sit next to the table.
"Okay, let's try it first."
Yang Baiyi shuffled the cards, turned over an open card and started.
Xiao Fuxing and his wife were in one group, Lin Wanru and the little girl were in another group, Yang Baiyi was in his own group, and Xiao Qingyang and Mu Xue were watching the fight from the side.
Once everyone has learned and become familiar with the game, they can split into two teams to play.
Lin Wanru played the open card, and Yang Baiyi was the last one to play. However, because it was the first time, neither Lin Wanru nor Xiao Fuxing dared to bid, so the landlord position fell on Yang Baiyi's head.
Yang Baiyi played cards while explaining to everyone. After three rounds, everyone had a general grasp of the rules of two-on-one.
"Okay, you three can play. Grandma and Grandpa and I will start another round."
Seeing that grandpa and grandma were eager to try, Yang Baiyi decisively pulled the two old people and opened up a new battlefield.
In this era with few entertainment options, the novel gameplay of Landlord instantly captured everyone's hearts.
We played until ten o'clock in the evening. The little girl was so sleepy that she kept yawning, and everyone ended the game reluctantly.
The next day, just after breakfast, Xiao Fuxing took out his playing cards and wanted to continue playing the two-on-one game.
After the snow fell, the production team stopped all work tasks and began another year of hibernation.
"Brother, can I take a deck of playing cards to school? I want to teach Erya and Goudan how to play."
The little girl was carrying a small schoolbag and looked at Yang Baiyi pitifully.
"Little sweetheart, you have an exam next week. When you finish and get a perfect score, I'll give you two decks of playing cards as a reward, okay?"
No matter how capable he is, Yang Baiyi does not intend to spoil his sister into an unsuccessful rich girl. She still has to master the necessary knowledge.
"Okay, I will definitely eat one hundred percent."
The little girl went to school with full confidence.
"This little girl was hysterical in her sleep last night and even shouted about bombs."
Mu Xue said with a smile.
"Mom, we don't have much cooking oil at home. Can I boil some more?"
Zhou Fengying has always been very conscientious. Before doing anything, she would habitually ask her mother-in-law for permission.
"Okay, let's boil it. We'll use the oil residue to make dumplings in the afternoon."
After winter came, the snow in the yard once again became a natural refrigerator, with all kinds of cut game buried underneath.
Zhou Fengying dug out more than ten pounds of lard and cut it into small pieces skillfully. Lin Wanru had also heated the pot.
With a sizzling sound, lard was poured into the pot, and a rich aroma rose along with a wisp of white smoke.
