Raising his hands, he smiled at the changes in the situation, and the tide ebbed and flowed as he held the hand. He had already played more than thirty moves with double play. After all, Chen Fan learned about Go in this era through chess records. Now through actual combat and conversations with the two, and Listening to the quarrel between the two people on the other side added a lot of basic knowledge of Go in this era.
Although the number of hands was not very large, Chen Fan felt that the harvest was quite large. At the same time, he assessed that he had finally begun to gain a little advantage. He estimated that the greater his advantage, the more fierce the fight between the two opponents. He secretly felt funny in his heart, and watched while playing chess. It's quite interesting to argue with each other.
At this time, the waiter came in with the Fuliang tea they ordered. A pot of tea, three cups, filled them for the three of them, and asked at the same time: "Three guests, what else would you like to order?"
The three of them had just ordered a pot of tea, which was still far away from fifty coins. However, the three of them had just come out after lunch. They were not hungry now, so they were not in a hurry to order anything.
"What do you have in mind?" Since the waiter asked, Chen Fan asked for advice.
"Don't worry, I'll order it later." Gong Qing said. He is addicted to chess right now and probably doesn't like anything he eats.
"You go about your business first, we'll stay for a while." Chen Fan said to the waiter.
"I'm sorry, three guests. Someone wants to book this private room. I wonder if you can give in? The other party is willing to pay for your tea."
"Didn't you tell me earlier? I would have told you more." Chen Fan secretly felt it was a pity in his heart. As for giving up this private room, Chen Fan felt it didn't matter. Anyway, he had come to see it and his horizons had been opened. The key was that he wanted to buy it. I ran out of water to make tea at one time, so I felt that fifty cents for tea was a bit of a waste. Now that someone is willing to pay, it doesn’t matter when I leave.
"We haven't had tea yet, and we haven't ordered snacks yet. Originally, we had to have dinner before leaving. Do we still want to eat now?" Feng Can asked with a wink. This fat little black man probably thought the same as Chen Fan. Someone was paying, so it was a pity that he didn't order enough food. Maybe he also said in his mind, "It's not me who paid. I won't leave until I eat enough food for fifty cents today."
How dare Chen Fan say that he won't eat, let's go. Besides, although he is poor, he can still afford these dozens of pennies.
"Of course it's food." Chen Fan said to Feng Can.
"I'm sorry, my two friends want to finish eating before leaving. Can you wait a moment?" Chen Fan refused.
"Well, I don't know how long it will take? I can go and give you a reply." I guess the waiter was a little disdainful in his heart, but this waiter was indeed a well-experienced businessman. Not only did he not show any impatience on his face, but he followed Chen Fan asked.
"Can you wait a moment?" is obviously an excuse, but in fact it means "no". Chen Fan thought that if the waiter should say that this is not good or impossible, then he would naturally say something like "Sorry, we won't let you". With such a buffer, the person who refused would feel confident. After all, the other party would have to pay for him. The money for tea was so sincere that Chen Fan didn't have the nerve to refuse it directly. Instead, he asked the waiter to continue asking, and the question became "How long will it take?"
Chen Fan secretly exclaimed, if the time for his answer is too long, it will conflict with his previous "wait a moment", and it seems that he will be at fault. If the time for his answer is too short, the other party will really wait for a while, and he will Just give in and give others an advantage.
Fortunately, Chen Fan is a real boy of fourteen or five years old. In modern society, he has watched so many variety shows and seen so many brain teasers. His mind was spinning very fast. He said without hesitation: "Here." How about we eat in half an hour?”
There is a big hole here. Chen Fan said that it takes half an hour to eat. The hidden premise is that after the food to be ordered is served, the time starts to be counted. If the food is not served, it must not be counted as time. This tea and cakes are a matter of knowledge. Some things are very slow to make, especially in this era without natural gas. How fast can it be cooked with firewood? The pot of tea that I ordered took half an hour to be served. It took more than half an hour to prepare for the time-consuming order of one or two pastries. Half an hour in this era is equivalent to an hour in modern society. It takes up such a long time. Time, it’s time to go back.
Hearing Chen Fan's answer, the waiter was stunned. He probably didn't know how to answer for a while. He couldn't say no. The guest agreed to give up. It only takes half an hour to eat, which is not too much. If he said give up, the key is the guest outside. I definitely don't want to wait for half an hour. How can I answer this if I am a waiter?
"Wait a moment, gentlemen. I will go back to the guests outside to see if they agree." The waiter decided to convey the truth truthfully, and he could not make the decision.
"Wait a minute, let's order off the food." Feng Can interrupted decisively. The fat little black man with a sinister attitude obviously didn't want to miss out on today's food.
The waiter stepped back with his retracted legs, frowned slightly, then immediately let go, and said with a smile: "Please order."
This waiter is really a character, and he has the ability not to offend people easily. Chen Fan thought to himself, and at the same time motioned to Feng Can to help him order some food. Feng Can was not polite, "Then I will order some." Who asked him to eat.
I ordered seven or eight more items, and it was estimated that I ordered fifty cents. Although this was a teahouse, it was not much different from a modern teahouse. It could serve guests to drink tea, eat, and play chess. The waiter was not impatient and waited for Feng Can. After finishing the order, I said my goodbyes and wanted to go out.
"Wait a minute." This time it was Chen Fan who called the waiter, "Who are the guests who want to use our private room?" Chen Fan asked cautiously. Although Chen Fan felt that he was not necessarily afraid of the other party, since the other party was a wealthy owner and had a large number of people, it would be best to avoid conflicts.
"Oh, it's Erlang Jun Ma Bo who runs the Silk Horse House. He is currently studying at Tianshui College. His chess skills are among the best in our county. He participated in the competition today and entered the top ten. He invited a group of friends and wanted to find a place. Let’s drink tea and play chess, so why not come to this private room?” the waiter said.
Chen Fan was stunned after hearing this. He remembered that Feng Can's family dealt in fabrics and clothing, which should include silk and satin. Wasn't it a competitive partner with the Ma family? He immediately looked at Feng Can and saw that Feng Can heard the name Ma Bo and didn't know anything about it. Reflecting, he immediately said: "Feng Can, isn't your family engaged in fabrics and clothing? Do you know the Ma family?"
"I don't know. My father never talks to me about business matters." Feng Can shook his head.
After all, it was not big. Chen Fan despised Feng Can in his heart and said to the waiter: "This private room can be used by the three of us. It is indeed a bit big. However, they were not there when we came in. I think this private room is used by three people." , or for thirteen people, the other party doesn’t know it clearly, does it?”
Chen Fan has decided that he can let the other party use the two tables next to him. He can't use such a large area anyway, but he must first beat the store. At least he can play chess himself. The store should not use it without his consent. Guest information is leaked first.
When Chen Fan thought about it, the guests must have known that there were only three of them, so they made this request. The leak of the news, and even the guidance of the whole thing, had something to do with this store.
When the waiter heard this, he felt a little embarrassed and said: "When you came in, the hall was full of people. The large private room you requested was not hidden from anyone. It is normal for people who are interested to hear about it."
Chen Fan didn't believe what the tea patrons in the lobby would say. It seemed that they were being bullied because they were young. Otherwise, the owner of the teahouse should at least come out and say hello instead of just asking a waiter to come and settle the matter.
"Let's not worry about this issue. I also have a suggestion. We will pay for our tea ourselves. If they are willing, the two tables next to it can be lent to them." Chen Fan thought for a while, but he couldn't let anyone Look down on it. Although I haven't met the owner of the teahouse and Ma Bo who is going to pay for their tea, if I insist on such a small amount of tea money, I have already lost my temper. Just treat it as if I can help others. Just help others, it's not a big deal to pay the few dozen coins yourself, completely ignoring Feng Can who was winking next to him.
After hearing this, the waiter looked more respectful and said, "Okay, I'll get back to you right now."
As soon as the waiter left, Feng Can said impatiently, "How can you pay for it yourself? And let them enter the private room?"
"Forget it, there's a lot of space here, and we can't use it anyway." Chen Fan said. What he didn't say was that if you order so much at once after being treated to a treat, it will look ugly. My face is still very valuable, so I'll do it. Pay it.
Fortunately, Gong Qing, who likes to quarrel with others, was probably wondering why Chen Fasheng's chess skills were suddenly so much higher than his today, and he was sinking into chess and unable to extricate himself.
"It's your turn to go, Fa Sheng." Gong Qing finally made the move and shouted to Chen Fan.
"Okay." When Chen Fan saw Gong Qing's move, he was secretly happy. The opponent's move was completely within his expectation. Gong Qing's sudden move seemed fierce, trying to break the connection between his two pieces, but in fact it was Chen Fan could completely ignore it if he goes deep alone, fight for the ground, and work on both pieces. It doesn't matter whether they are connected or not, but Gong Qing's division is that if he goes deep alone, there is a possibility of being annihilated. However, Chen Fan had no intention of eating it. After all, it was a competition between classmates. A small victory was enough, preferably a miserable victory; a big victory would be bad.
He didn't think much at the moment, ignored Gong Qing's judgment, and directly seized the silver side, which suddenly made Gong Qing fall into thinking again.
At this time, Feng Can spoke to Gong Qing: "Why did you take this step directly? Look, it would have been better if you had taken the position of Fa Sheng. You had occupied the ground first. This time it was going to be bad." ."
Gong Qing rolled his eyes, "What did you do just now? If you focused on eating, how could the game be so passive?" It seems that Gong Qing's ability to criticize others is still first-rate.
Feng Can opened his mouth. He probably knew that Gong Qing was a big talker, so he endured it and didn't make a sound, but just stared at Gong Qing. "You are very capable, let me see how you behave."
Sure enough, Gong Qing was stared at impatiently, so he took advantage of Feng Can first, "Don't look at me, you can, you can express your opinion now, what do you say?" What he said not only said what Feng Can wanted to say, " If you can, just keep going." He was blocked to no end, and he also took the moral high ground of preemptive strike. The implication is that if you don't say something when it's time to say it, it's useless to act as an afterthought.
The expression on Feng Can's face suddenly became rich.
