I Can Extract Abilities From Antiques

"You still know I'm sorry? Why didn't I see you when I was selling this thing?" The middle-aged man reprimanded Xia Heze, who lowered his head.

At the same time, put the box in your hand on the counter.

Hu Muzhi understood that with Xia Heze's temper, if he was right, he would have jumped up and fought with the other party.

And now, with a blushing face and a thick neck, and the silent performance, it is obvious that there is a problem with the things sold.

And Xia Heze himself knew this question.

If a middle-aged man is willing to buy something when he knows there is something wrong with it, then it belongs to one who is willing to fight and one who is willing to suffer.

But now, apparently it was the middle-aged man who discovered it after the fact.

The middle-aged man's reprimand was a bit loud, even Xia Yurou in the back office heard it, pushed open the door, and walked out.

"Hello, I'm the shopkeeper of Gu Xuan Pavilion, Xia Yurou, what happened?" Xia Yurou asked the middle-aged man.

"See for yourself." The middle-aged man said angrily.

Xia Yurou opened the box.

I saw that there was a purple-black rectangular chessboard inside, the board was rectangular, the walls were upright, the waist was tied, and the bottom was supported by a hexapod base.

There are long squares along the four sides of the inner bottom of the plate, and there are 12 small dots on each of the two long sides.

As soon as he saw this object, Xu Taiping recognized it immediately.

Backgammon board.

This is an ancient gaming utensil and also a board game.

The movement of the pieces is determined by the number of dice rolls, and the first player to remove all pieces from the board wins.

To put it bluntly, it is somewhat similar to the current game called 'Monopoly'.

However, unlike the board game Monopoly, Doubleland is not a game that relies solely on luck, but requires certain tactics and calculations.

Because it has many natural and easy-to-spread attributes, as well as gambling, entertainment and social attributes, it is easy to get started and basically has no restrictions on the venue.

Whether it is the inner court of the palace, the deep house compound, or the military tent, or even the bitter cold place.

Its fame even surpasses that of chess.

In the first episode of "Jin Ping Mei", there is such a description of Ximen Qing.

"This person is not very good at reading, and wanders around all day long. After his parents died, he has devoted himself to sleeping outside the garden, playing tricks and tricks, learning some good boxing and sticks, gambling, backgammon chess, playing cards, all kinds of things. know."

It is mentioned in the book that not only Ximen Qing himself, but also his best brother, Earl Ying, concubine Pan Jinlian, and son-in-law Chen Jingji are also good at fighting back and forth.

This is a game that spanned thousands of years from Cao Wei to Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Many famous figures in history are obsessed with double land.

Among them, only the emperors and queens are Wu Zetian, Song Huizong, Liao Xingzong, Yuan Shundi and many others.

But why have many people not even heard of this kind of board game that was very popular in ancient times?

This is mainly because backgammon means gambling.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, gathering people to gamble and play Shuanglu was once banned by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the offenders were severely punished.

"Wanli Wilderness Compilation" even records that "the person who hit the double land broke his hand".

Even under such severe punishments, Shuanglu is still popular everywhere, although it has declined.

In the early Qing Dynasty, in view of the huge harm that gambling brought to the society in the previous dynasties, the rulers vigorously banned gambling, especially the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong lasted the longest and punished the most severely.

In particular, the Qianlong Dynasty seems to have given extra "attention" to backgammon, which eventually led to its withdrawal from people's daily life.

Although backgammon has withdrawn from the stage of history, the backgammon board has been handed down.

Most of these backgammon boards are made of hardwoods from the Qing Dynasty. For example, a middle-aged man brought a red sandalwood backgammon board.

Although the red sandalwood backgammon board was not worth much, Xia Yurou was still impressed by it.

Because Xia Heze, who has nothing to do, will play this chessboard and study how the ancients played.

Later, I heard Xia Heze say that I bought something.

Looking at Xia Heze's performance now, it is obvious that something was wrong when it was shipped.

"There is a problem with one of the chessboards." Hu Muzhi's voice sounded slowly.

Through observation, he found that one side of the chessboard had been repaired.

"Good eyesight." The middle-aged man praised Hu Muzhi.

"Hello, I'm our appraiser, Hu Muzhi." Hu Muzhi stretched out his hand and said.

"Wang Degui." The middle-aged man replied, but instead of shaking hands with Hu Muzhi, he continued.

"I advise you to change to another cultural relic store to work."

"There is no future at all to work in such a store that deceives consumers."

"Mr. Wang, please calm your anger, I will definitely give you an account of this." Xia Yurou first said apologetically to Wang Degui.

Then, he asked Xia Heze with a gloomy face, "Xia Heze, what's going on?"

Xia Heze hesitated and finally told the truth.

It turned out that Xia Heze accidentally dropped the chessboard on the ground while playing the backgammon board, causing damage to one side of the chessboard.

Afraid that Xia Yurou would say something about herself, she fixed it in the simplest way.

Later, Wang Degui took a fancy to the chessboard, and Wang Degui didn't find the problem with the chessboard at the time, so Xia Heze decided to take the shot.

After knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Xia Yurou was very angry, but now even drenching the blood of Xia Heze's scolding would not help.

Can only find a way to solve this first.

Xia Yurou looked at Wang Degui and said apologetically, "Mr. Wang, this matter is indeed our fault."

"According to the rule of the shop, I am willing to pay you three times the amount of compensation you paid for this chessboard."

"What do you think?"

Without any hesitation, Wang Degui shook his head and said, "Not much."
