Dragon Crossing the River did not drink the tea prepared by Hua Baozi, but turned around and poured it away. This made neither Master Hu Er nor Hua Baozi expect, and of course they looked at Dragon Crossing the River in surprise.
Dragon Crossing the River was also full of doubts. He only estimated that there was something wrong with the tea, but to be on the safe side, Dragon Crossing the River decided not to drink the bowl of tea.
Based on the analysis of Hua Leopard's next actions, Crossing the River Dragon still believed that what he did was right. Even if there was nothing wrong with the bowl of tea, it was not advisable to touch it.
But no matter what, he couldn't reveal his doubts, so after explaining that he couldn't drink tea, he smiled and raised his glass to toast Mr. Hu Er.
"Second Master, I feel happy to come out with you. Please bear with me if I did something wrong. I would like to offer you a glass of wine to express my apology.
I wish that our trip to Harbin will be happy, safe and smooth. I also wish Mr. Leopard a speedy recovery and return home as early as possible.
Leopard Master survived the catastrophe because of God's care, and he will be blessed with great fortune and wealth in the future. Come, let’s have a drink together, and wish us a safe journey! "
The Dragon Crossing the River clinked glasses with the three of them one by one, and drank them all in one gulp. His behavior made the second master a little unnatural, but he immediately returned to normal.
"Brother Guojiang Long is right. I brought you out this time because I want you to help me at a critical moment. There is no right or wrong. Just do what you think is right. There is no need to ask for instructions and reports.
From today on, all our itinerary matters will be handled by you. We will all listen to your arrangements. I believe in you. Don't sit still, you two. Talk when you should, eat when you should, and drink when you should. "
Hu Er, the head of the house, was really happy again, his mood seemed to have calmed down, and his thoughts might have changed. Guo Jianglong guessed that the second head of the house might be telling the truth.
"It's not a good idea. The second master has to make the decision on big things. We all listen to the second master."
Hua Baozi was a little confused at this time. He didn't believe that the second master would change his attitude towards Dragon Crossing the River, so the purpose of flattering the second master was of course hoping that he would not trust Dragon Crossing the River.
"Shut up, you don't understand anything, you're just a pig brain!"
The second boss glared at Hua Baozi. He felt that Hua Baozi didn't understand his current intention at all, so he stopped him from interrupting randomly.
As a result, the four people tacitly talked to each other about off-topic topics, and the atmosphere became more harmonious, especially the second boss, who felt relieved at this time.
He felt that the Dragon Crossing the River was not so intolerable, and was indeed shrewd and capable. As a result, the atmosphere at the dinner table began to become more and more warm, and everyone exchanged glasses and cups affectionately.
After having enough wine and food, Guojianglong asked the shopkeeper to clear up. Then everyone was given a box of foreign cigarettes, and everyone gathered around the table to smoke and drink water.
The second boss was picking his teeth and yawning, as if he was sleepy. The dragon crossing the river looked at the leopard, and he deliberately lowered his head to drink water as if nothing happened.
"Second Master, let's not go to bed so early. We have just finished drinking and eating, and we are laying on the bed. Let's have a good time, play Tianjiu with you all the time, and win some money from you."
Guojianglong poured water for the second master and asked tentative questions. The second master seemed to have regained his energy. He sat up straight and his sleepiness was gone.
"What you said makes sense, let's just play for a while. Come on, put it on, and the second master will accompany you to have fun for a while, but don't lie about whether you win or lose."
So Guo Jianglong asked Qian Dagui to go downstairs with him, moved the baggage stored on the cabinet into another room, and took out a handful of Tianjiu (a game tool).
"When you go out later, you must listen to me. Don't talk too much. Don't drink and forget your identity. Do whatever I ask you to do."
"Go out, why are you going out? Aren't you going to play Pai Gow with the second master?"
"Don't ask any more questions! Just listen to me when you go out."
Guojianglong led Qian Dagui back to the second master's room, placed Pai Gow, and the four of them sat together. After the cards were dealt, Hua Baozi first asked how big he wanted to play?
"There's no point in playing small, just play and have fun!"
"But I don't have that much money, and I can't play well. If I lose, someone can lend me some."
When Qian Dagui heard that Hu Er wanted to play big, he knew that he was no match for them, and he didn't have as much money as them, so he backed down a little.
"You just act as a matchmaker. Win or lose doesn't count. Just don't play bad cards, but play well and don't favor one or the other."
The second boss's decision to let Qian Dagui play with him did not count whether he won or lost. Although Qian Dagui was a little reluctant, he did not dare to raise objections. However, he still had to favor the second boss when playing cards.
After playing for a while, Hua Baozi said he didn't want to play anymore because his card points were not good, he lost more than he won, and more importantly, he had other ideas.
"Second Master, let's stop playing. I'll lose. Once I win, I'll use my fucking money to clean up my hands. If I make a cut, I'll cut my eyes to five. If I lose, my hands will be clean."
The points of this card are too memorized. If you play until dawn, you will have to lose. Forget it, I won’t play anymore. How about we find another way to play. "
"Don't f*ck yourself up. How about pushing Pai Gow instead of playing Pai Gow? Winning or losing is fun. You can do whatever you want. You're free. I'll be the banker and you guys can press the pillars."
The second boss said that the game could be played in a different way. He would be the banker and let everyone hold down the pillar. However, Hua Baozi still disagreed. It seemed that he just didn't want to play this anymore.
"In that case, I won't play anymore. Today I think I'm on the Pai Gow side, so I'm going to lose. I'm almost out of money."
"I just lost a lot, so I got so scared. Whoever won, I didn't win. What's the point of not playing Pai Gow? What else is fun in this place?"
The second master seemed to be dissatisfied with Hua Leopard, but he was far from angry. His words were obviously accommodating, and Guo Jianglong certainly understood.
"Second Master, there is a lot of fun in Yanyang Town. Do you know what this place was originally called? It was called Yanda Kiln. There are red kilns, flower and fruit kilns, and secret doors everywhere.
At first, a man named Yan opened a small red kiln here, which was specially used for people who went to the mountains to collect mountain products. Later, more and more people came to collect mountain products.
Moreover, merchants who collected mountain goods also moved in. Later, it became a distribution center for passengers and goods. More people came and went, and the flower kiln prospered.
During the Republic of China, this place was planned and managed as a town, but the original place name still felt unsound, so it was renamed Yanyang Town, taking its homonym.
If you don’t believe me, you can go out for a walk on the streets. There are more people there, overtly and covertly, than in Harbin. Moreover, the flowers and fruits are all outstanding, and they definitely live up to their reputation. "
Hua Leopard Zi couldn't hold back anymore after seeing Jiang Long talk about it with joy. He became even more energetic. In fact, he knew as much as the Dragon Crossing the River, and was even more familiar with it than the Dragon Crossing the River.
