Chapter 125: Women's Sumo

After dressing the scholars, the scholars went to take the exam, and the remaining scholars were instructed to start cleaning the scholars' dormitories.

Walking into Minglun Hall again, Song Xiaobao and Yu Xiaotong were timid in their hearts, after all, they didn't study at all last night, and they were planted when they waited for the exam. Sure enough, when it came time for the exam, Song Xiaobao and Yu Xiaotong didn't answer a single question and were beaten miserably.

What's even more speechless is that Huang Xiaolei was afraid of answering wrong, and made a cheat sheet, now Huang Xiaolei was beaten miserably, and when school ended at noon, the four scholars except Zhang Churan were actually beaten red, because that gentleman was really a doctor, and he didn't fake beating people at all, but really entered this role, and completely treated Zhang Churan and others as real students.

Do you say it can be a tragedy, Huang Xiaolei later told Zhang Churan that she really regretted being this scholar.

As soon as the shooting of the academy was completed, the chief appeared, and when the scholars and scholars arrived, the chief told the people present: "Because you have worked hard lately, you are very gracious, and you can visit the market today." ”

After speaking, the scholars cheered, looking at the happy scholars, could it be that this time the chief was not angry, and asked the scholars to take care of their respective scholars.

Came to the bazaar, there is really something to eat on it, of course, this bazaar is not big, it is only a few dozen meters before and after, I bought a lot of things to eat with copper money, Reba dragged Zhang Churan in the bazaar, that happy look, made Zhang Churan smile, this is a snack goods, as long as there is something to eat, then it will be happy.

Of course, being arranged to come to this bazaar is not really so simple as letting everyone eat like this, and soon the drums sounded in the bazaar, which is a sign of wrestling.

In the Song Dynasty, sumo wrestling was the most prosperous period in China, and sumo wrestling was extremely popular in the Song Dynasty, both officially and among the people. Sumo wrestling is wrestling, also known as wrestling, wrestling, and hand-to-hand fighting, which is a sport in which two people fight each other to fight each other. Sumo is a very figurative word, and the two put each other down relatively quickly.

The most novel thing for future generations is the women's sumo wrestling competition. It is not difficult to imagine that female sumo wrestling must be very glamorous, and may even be "very yellow and violent". Judging from the sumo wrestlers unearthed in the Song Dynasty and the murals of the Song tombs, the male wrestlers are naked, with only a strip of cloth wrapped around their lower bodies, showing off their muscles.

Women's sumo wrestling was a must-have in Kaifeng, the capital at that time, and it was one of the entertainment performances that attracted the attention of spectators. Why? Different from storytelling and singing, sumo wrestling is a hard work and very competitive, and "Menglianglu" records "Saiguansuo", "Huan Sanniang", and "Black Fourth Sister"...... Only these fragrant and rugged stage names are enough to arouse curiosity, coupled with the huge jade bodies wrestling with each other, and they are shirtless, in that era when there is no today's civilization, it is difficult not to be popular.

At that time, women's sumo wrestling was mostly arranged before men's sumo, and the purpose of the organizers was very clear, to play women's cards to heat up the field and gather popularity. Not to mention, the effect is good, and the "female wrestlers" (female sumo wrestlers) with their unique skills stand in the ring and immediately attract crowds of spectators. However, the most attractive attraction is not the competition itself, but the hot costumes of the players. These eldest sisters all traveled lightly, and the specific extent of the light travel is not detailed in the history books, but there are records of "naked scenes", presumably "light" to the maximum - the places that can not be covered are omitted as much as possible - it is said that showing your chest and breasts is a rule of the game for this activity. This kind of full "hand-to-hand" performance, if to paraphrase the elegant point, it seems that it is not impossible to call it a display of body art.

It is not surprising to say that the small people in the market compete for three layers and three layers outside the three layers, because they have little knowledge in the first place, and it can be seen that the well-informed emperor also disregarded his noble status to join in the fun, which is a little puzzling. However, it is incomprehensible, and Song Renzong just ignored the world and opened his eyes.

On a Shangyuan day in the Jiayou year, Zhao Zhen and his concubine went to Xuandemen Square to have fun with the people. At that time, a lively performance of 100 operas was taking place in the square. Song Renzong was not interested in looking at the east and west, but he accidentally found a hot women's sumo performance in progress, and he was immediately interested, and he was very engaged and fascinated to watch it. It is estimated that the beautiful demeanor and exquisite skills of the "female flights" impressed Renzong, and he immediately instructed these contestants to be rewarded with silver silks. The emperor's reward made the contestants excited, and the performances became more and more intense, and wonderful scenes appeared from time to time.

The physical show of the women wrestlers really made Emperor Renzong really used once, but it angered a well-known courtier, Sima Guang, a historian who was responsible for writing a living note for the saint, the old gentleman thought that Renzong's move was too undeserved, and it was already absurd to stage this kind of "yellow" and "violent" "naked play" in such a sacred place, and the emperor not only did not ban it, but took the lead in watching it in front of the public, not only watching it himself, but also letting the concubine watch it together, what is this called! At worst, it is called harmful, and at worst, it is harmful. So he angrily handed over an excerpt "On the Sumo Wrestling of the Shangyuan Order", publicly criticizing Emperor Renzong's "indiscretions", and strongly suggesting that the relevant departments strengthen the management of the market environment, carry out a concentrated "anti-pornography" campaign against such immoral performances, and strictly order that "women shall not gather in the market in the future to make a play with this."

Of course, it's useless for you to ban it, and folk sumo performances should not be restricted.

So this can be regarded as a feature of the Song Dynasty, this time our eight members of the crossing are going to confront the women's wrestlers, but before everyone has started a war with the women's wrestlers, Yu Xiaotong will fight with Shen Zhi.

And Shen Xie is very bad, when he started a war with Yu Xiaotong, he first bowed to the surroundings, and our Yu Xiaotong didn't know anything, he also learned Shen Xue to say hello to the surroundings.

However, how can Yu Xiaotong be as smart as Shen Xian, just when Xiaotong greeted the surroundings, Shen Xian suddenly rushed up and pushed Yu Xiaotong out of the circle.

Yu Xiaotong, who was pushed outside the circle and lost the game, still looked confused, and finally looked at Shen Zhen and shouted: "Brother Shen, you are so despicable." ”

Shen Xian didn't speak, but Song Xiaobao laughed: "Despicable is Huang Xiaoming's daughter-in-law." The audience laughed!

After a warm-up match, the real game of Zhang Churan and others officially began, and if the person who won this time, the director team decided to reward two hours of modern time, which made everyone work hard and wanted to win these two hours of modern time.

Originally, Zhang Churan was the most promising modern time, but it was a pity that Zhang Churan was too pitiful and cherished the jade, so he was worried that he would break the girl, so he picked up the girl, and then thought about sending her out of the circle, who knew that he accidentally stepped on one foot outside the circle, so he lost all of a sudden.

And who won in the end, Song Xiaobao and Hailu won, it was just too unexpected, didn't you see it, and finally knew how happy Song Xiaobao was after knowing that he won.

What's even happier is that Song Xiaobao and Hailu's modern world is actually soaking in a hot spring together, and in an instant, Yu Xiaotong's face turned green!

...............................

Hailu and Song Xiaobao went to the hot spring, of course, it was not an open-air hot spring, and they were wearing swimsuits.

Just when Hailu and Song Xiaobao were going to enjoy modern time, our scholars and scholars couldn't be idle, because other academies were going to send people to come over to test their literary talents, so our scholars and scholars were going to do things.

First of all, we have to make Dongpo meat, this Dongpo meat is very famous, in April of the tenth year of Xining of Song Shenzong (1077), Su Shi went to Xuzhou Zhizhou. On July 7, the Yellow River burst in the Caocun area of Lanzhou, and by August 21, the flood besieged Xuzhou, and the water level was as high as 2 zhang and 8 feet. Su Shi died with his body, personally inserted the lotus, led the forbidden army and the military guard battalion, and the people of the city to fight the flood and build embankments to protect the city.

After more than 70 days and nights of hard fighting, Xuzhou City was finally saved. The people of the whole city were all rejoicing, and they thanked the good Zhizhou who led the people of Xuzhou and lived and died together, and they killed pigs and sheep, and carried wine and vegetables to the government to comfort them. Su Shi couldn't refuse, and after accepting it, he personally instructed his family to make braised pork, and gave it back to the people who participated in the flood fight. After eating, the people felt that this meat was fat but not greasy, crispy and delicious, and unanimously called him "return meat".

Zhang Churan's cooking skills are very good, so with him, this Dongpo meat is not a problem, in addition to making Dongpo meat, but also to make moon cakes, there is a saying that moon cakes began in the Song Dynasty. In Kyoto Tokyo (now Kaifeng, Henan) in the Northern Song Dynasty, every Mid-Autumn Festival night, people climb high buildings, climb high mountains, and start to worship the moon when the moon rises. The Song Dynasty poet Su Dongpo Shiyun: "Small cakes are like chewing the moon, and there are crisps and syrup." "The mooncakes of that time are very similar to the mooncakes of today.

"Reba, you go to cut the meat, Brother Shen Yi goes to make noodles, and Sister Xiaolei, you come to .......... fire!"

Under the command of Zhang Churan, the six people through the moon cakes and Dongpo meat are making moon cakes and Dongpo meat in an orderly manner, to be honest, Zhang Churan is really powerful, the main ingredients of the Dongpo meat he made are half fat and half lean pork, and the finished dishes are all neatly stacked mahjong pieces, red and bright, the color is like agate, pick up a piece and taste, soft but not rotten, fat but not greasy.

As soon as the pot was raised, Shen Yu couldn't control his saliva and said: "Oh my, this is too slanderous, I really don't know, Chu Ran, you are so powerful, can I eat a piece?"

Looking at Shen Xian's appearance of licking her lips, Huang Xiaolei smiled and said, "Then let Brother Shen come to a piece, anyway, there are many here." ”

It's just that this head is not very good, why... Because after Shen Yin finished eating, he immediately shouted in an excited voice: "It's so delicious, it's really delicious, Chu Ran, you can go to be a chef, this taste is too good." ”

Waiting for Shen Yu to say this, several other members of the team also didn't believe it and asked to try it, and Di Lieba on the side smiled and said, "You still don't know, Brother Chu Ran's cooking skills are the best." ”

Just when Di Lieba was a little proud, the other members also began to attack the pot of Dongpo meat, and after the members finished eating, they also collectively showed a happy expression, because the Dongpo meat made by Zhang Churan was really delicious.

So I didn't stop it at once, and there were only a few pieces left of a pot of Dongpo meat that was dried.

"What to do... We have eaten too much, and the people in the academy outside don't seem to have eaten?" Huang Xiaolei showed a ridiculous expression.

Zhang Churan was also speechless: "Ah... The meat is gone, there are several catties of meat here, and you are eating too fast. ”

"Brother... Don't you really blame us?"

"Ah...?" Yu Xiaotong's words made Zhang Churan stunned: "Who is to blame?"

"You...?" Yu Xiaotong pointed at Zhang Churan and said: "The Dongpo meat you made is so delicious, and it's almost noon now, we haven't eaten yet, we have been recording all morning, there is such delicious meat, who wouldn't eat more." ”

"yes... Xiaotong is right. Shen Yu smiled and nodded after him.

Completely speechless, Zhang Churan said magnificently: "Is this still my fault?"

In the end, it was the eldest brother Zhang Hanyu who came over and said: "That's it, let's each have a piece of meat, and then give each other more moon cakes." ”

"Hey... This is good. Then all the members laughed evilly!

............................

After the moon cakes and Dongpo meat were ready, under the supervision of the fasting chief, everyone sent the Dongpo meat and moon cakes to a cool stream, because those people from the outer courtyard were going to compete with Zhang Churan and other scholars here.

On the first day of March, after the fuxi ceremony, people sit on both sides of the canal and place wine cups in the upper stream, and the wine glasses go down the river, and whoever stops in front of them takes a cup of wine, which means to remove bad luck. This tradition has a very old history,

Later, it became a kind of elegant thing for literati and ink writers to sing poems and wine, and the most classic one was that Wang Xizhi and others sat on the ground on both sides of the Lanting Qingxi after holding the ritual of repairing and sacrificing, and put the wine in the stream, floating water from the upstream and slowly descending, passing through the winding stream, and who was spinning or stopping in front of him, who had to improvise poems and drink. According to history, in this game, there were 11 people who wrote two poems, 15 people who wrote a poem, and 16 people who could not write poems, and each was punished with three drinks. Wang Xizhi collected everyone's poems, used silkworm cocoon paper, mouse whisker pen to make a preface, took advantage of the interest and wrote, wrote the world-famous "Lanting Collection Preface", which was praised by later generations as "the first line of books in the world", and Wang Xizhi was also respected as "the saint of books". And the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" is also known as "禊 Tiè".

This time, Zhang Churan and others are also going to come to this song, of course, the poems they compose are not called poems, and they are not even limericks.

Zhang Churan's qushui this time was also miserable, and he drank three cups of water with chili peppers slowly, and the taste was simply terrible.

While the scholars were carrying out the meandering water by the stream, the scholars also had their own tasks, Shen Yu took Hailu to clean the bathroom, and Zhang Hanyu took Reba to do the soap.

Seriously, in fact, the wisdom of the ancients was really strong, soap appeared in the Song Dynasty, of course, it is incomparable with our current one, but that was a long time ago.

Reba who is doing soaphorn with Brother Hanyu is very happy, why... Because most of the things were done by Brother Hanyu, what chopping wood to steam the soap horns, and then picking up the soap horns and kneading them.

Brother Hanyu took pity on the jade, and was reluctant to let Reba, a cute little girl, do things, but unlike Brother Hanyu, Brother Shen took Hailu with her, and Hailu was unlucky.

The bathroom that was cleaned was simply dirty to the extreme, and Shen Yi was still motionless, almost all of which was done by Hailu alone, and she almost didn't exhaust Hailu to death.

That's why it's important to be with the right person!
