While demonstrating, Lao Guo observed everyone's expressions and was startled when he found someone behind the railing on the second floor. He leaned half of his body out.

"Master above, please don't fall down. If you are curious, why not come down and fight Guo?"

That young master was none other than the dude that Tang Yan took to make trouble on the day Yan Beichen and his family returned home - Dadongzhu!

The Dongzhu on the Dadongzhu crown was particularly eye-catching. As soon as he heard Lao Guo’s invitation, he ran downstairs happily. As a professional dude, eating, drinking and having fun was no problem. He quickly understood the rules and talked to Lao Guo in public.

Play "lion and elephant fight".

The most amazing thing is that Lao Guo actually lost.

Mr. Guo wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, not feeling ashamed at all, and said with a smile: "It seems that the chess game played by Zhou Lang is quite easy to master."

The people below burst into laughter, and Dadongzhu said angrily: "You are a storyteller who doesn't tell stories, but you actually start playing chess in public. Thank you for remembering Zhou Lang!"

"Then let's continue. This lion-elephant fight is as you have seen. The chess theory is simple and you can learn it once you learn it. After the young lady of the Qi family tried it, she found it somewhat interesting and played with the maid at home for half a night.

But a girl's family must be reserved, and her reputation as a good friend is very important. How can he meet her just as she said? Miss Qi thought for a while and declined the request to meet, but instead asked for a piece of ancient painting as a gift in return."

The audience started to boo again, "Young lady is so cautious!"

"That's how it should be. Just give me a gift and ask to meet him. He's so beautiful!"

"The young lady is so kind, Zhou Lang admired her even more, so he gave her a second set of chess - tossing and moving chess! This chess game is a variation of Othello created by Emperor Taizong, and can be played by two to six people at the same time."

Tossing and turning is, to put it bluntly, checkers. As for its origin, Zhang Biluo made it up.

Lao Guo gestured to the side, and another chessboard was pushed up. The chessboard was in the shape of a hexagonal star, and the chess pieces were divided into six colors, with ten chess pieces in each color.

Lao Guo began to introduce the rules again: "You can learn this thing with your knees, just jump and jump!"

After saying that, he pulled Da Dongzhu to cover up. Da Dongzhu became very happy when he learned it. Every step he took, he shouted: "I jump, I jump, I jump, jump, jump!"

Everyone looked at it and couldn't help but feel itchy. Lao Guo was the best at observing people's words and said with a smile: "Is there anyone here who wants to try it? It's my first time to try chess today. The winner will get a pot of fine wine and ten skewers at the Shenglou barbecue."

It's a good thing if I go! As the saying goes, don't take advantage of the bastard!

Some people also asked, what is Deshenglou BBQ? Lao Guo looked mysterious, "Want to know? Want to try it? Come on, let's play chess!"

There are two chessboards on the left and right on the table. On one side are lions and elephants fighting, and on the other side are they tossing and turning.

Both chess are simple and easy to learn, and unlike Go, which can be played in an hour, it doesn't take much time. Both sides completed two games, one of which was played by a girl.

Look, it’s suitable for all ages, both men and women, it’s really interesting!

Everyone watched with great interest, and De Sheng Lou kept his word and immediately served the winner a pot of wine and ten skewers of barbecue. As soon as the food was served, the people around him roared and almost couldn't hold it back. What is so fragrant? It's also sizzling and oily.

?

The winner picked up a skewer of barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth, then opened his eyes wide and grabbed the next skewer. Everyone heard a "ouch" and couldn't help but swallowed. It looked so delicious.

, I really want to try it.

Dadongzhu was so greedy that he grabbed two skewers and put them in his mouth. Several people nearby swarmed up and snatched them all in an instant.

There was a commotion among the people, and Lao Guo slapped the crowd in shock, "Do you still remember the little lady?"

That's right, I just played chess and forgot the original story.

"Miss Qi was very happy to get the Tossing and Tengnuo chess piece. This time she gave the young man a beautiful handkerchief."

Ahhh! A small handkerchief was given! Everyone was so anxious that they kept asking, "What happened next?"

Lao Guo smiled mischievously, "What chess piece did the young man give me? Are the two of them worthy of each other? If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the explanation next time."

Let me go, everyone quits, Lao Guo is not kind, you are not only irritating, you are also a mess.

Mr. Guo still had a smile on his face, "I don't admit it's a mess, I'll just talk about it next time."

Dadongzhu asked: "Do you still want to play chess? I haven't danced enough yet."

Lao Guo said: "Deshenglou has specially prepared ten sets of lion and elephant fights for you. You can use them as you please. Three days later, which is the seventh day of the lunar month, Deshenglou invites twenty guests to play chess every day.

In the end, two winners were chosen, each receiving twenty taels of silver and a 'Great Smart' plaque."

My God, the guests upstairs and downstairs were so excited, these ten taels of silver must be spent!

The shopkeeper added: "After five consecutive days of fierce fighting, on the twelfth day of the finals, the ultimate winner of the lion-elephant fight and the tossing and turning won fifty taels of silver and a plaque of 'extremely smart'!"

Ahhhhh! The diners went crazy and were gearing up one by one. At this time, several waiters shuttled among the seats and handed out twenty sets of chess.

The chessboard was limited, so we had to queue up. Da Dongzhu was so addicted to jumping around that he finally found his place in the queue. Before the game was over, the chessboard was taken away.

"Dear guests, it's time for you."

Everyone looked at each other, what happened to Youshi? Why did you take the chess away?

Someone suddenly remembered that the people in Deshenglou provided tea, melon seeds, and storytelling, but they were only allowed to rest in the afternoon! Now it’s time to eat, and they still linger, isn’t it affecting their business?

Dadongzhu was very unwilling and said, "Is it okay for me to take the chess away?"

The waiter in the store smiled brightly and said, "No, sir, these twenty sets are for the use of the store."

Da Dongzhu was so angry that he slapped the table and said, "Who are you looking down on! Do you think I am someone who can't afford chess? Do you still have any more? I got a set here and there, so I can take it home and play with it!"

The shopkeeper clapped his hands twice, and the waiter brought up various chessboards.
