Chapter 418: Performance
Instead of waiting for others to grow stronger and do it to themselves, it is better to cultivate a force on their own side, but they can also bring more news to their side. So as soon as Zhang Tao said this plan, he was tempted to train people by himself.
This not only avoids their worries, but also has the advantage of minimizing the harm of these people, at least not letting them get involved in something, so as not to harm others, and this is controllable.
After discussing this matter with Lao Xue, Zhang Tao sat down again and went back to the hotel. A few of the guys over there had already done their shopping, and by late evening the group was driving back to town.
"Second brother! Let's go shrimp fishing, shall we? There are a lot of small shrimp in the creek at the door! Before staying at home for a while, Zhang Yan ran over with a look of interest and asked Zhang Tao to go fishing for shrimp together.
"What's so fun about fishing for shrimp? It's so cold, and you're running outside in the dark? Zhang Tao was stunned after hearing this, he has not done shrimp fishing for many years, and he will only do this with a fishing net when he is a child.
However, at that time, it was basically fished during the day, and the rice shrimp were dried, and then they could be fried and eaten, and they could also be crushed and fed to chickens and ducklings, so that the chickens and ducklings grew faster.
The shrimp that Zhang Yan said was more special, and it was called rice shrimp on Zhang Tao's side. This shrimp is not very large, and the largest is only a little larger than a grain of rice.
However, these little guys have high requirements for water quality, and they can only be seen in places with good water quality, and it seems that it is difficult to survive in other places.
"You just go and fish some with the swallows, just go with a flashlight. It's been a long time since I've eaten dried shrimp, and the dried shrimp race grass carp in winter. At this time, Zhang Tao's grandmother came out of the room after hearing the movement, and then said to Zhang Tao with a smile.
Zhang Tao saw that his grandmother had come forward, so he could not agree. Hurriedly picked up a small bucket and fishing net, and asked his sister to use a flashlight, and the two went out to the stream in front of the village.
After arriving at the place, Zhang Tao used a flashlight to shine into the creek, and there were dried shrimp on both sides of the slightly steaming creek. Crawling all over the cement walls and aquatic weeds on both sides, these rice shrimp are very uniform in size. "When did there be so many shrimp here?"
"Hehe, I didn't lie to you. When I came to wash things in the evening, I saw that there were all these small shrimp on both sides, and I could hold a lot of them with my hands, so I asked you to catch them. Zhang Yan said proudly on the side.
Compared with river shrimp, this kind of shrimp is actually a little more delicious, no need to peel the shell, and there is no need to remove the head. Dry the shrimp, then fry it in oil, put some chili pepper and leeks and stir-fry, the taste is very fragrant, and you don't have to worry about the shrimp skin is too hard or thorny.
Over the years, the living standards of the people in the surrounding villages have been getting better and better, and now fewer and fewer people go to catch shrimp and fish. The children don't have this opportunity, every family is one or two children, and they all watch it tightly, how can they be easily let into the water.
In addition, the surrounding environment is very well protected, which has led to more and more fish and shrimp in the creeks and rivers here. Rice shrimp like this creek don't even have many natural predators, so they reproduce faster.
The natural predators of rice shrimp are larger carnivorous fish, such as carp and crucian carp, as well as fish such as white stripes. But there are only crucian carp in this creek, and there are no other fish, so the creek has become a paradise for rice shrimp.
Zhang Tao didn't have to go into the water at all, squatted on the side of the creek and gently stretched the fishing net to the water's edge, and then fished it into his arms. There are rice shrimp jumping everywhere in the net, and there is almost a small handful at a time.
Catching shrimp is the same as catching fish, and when you have a harvest, the interest comes. Although it is a little smaller, it is better than the large number, and Zhang Tao is now full of interest when he sees these evenly sized shrimp.
and Zhang Yan fished up the stream until the small bucket they brought could not be filled. At this time, they had just walked through Wangjiawan, less than a mile away, and this kind of harvest really couldn't be compared before.
"These shrimps are at least ten pounds, right?" Zhang Yan looked at the rice shrimp in the bucket and asked. Zhang Tao The bucket they brought was not small, it was full of a large bucket, and there was no water in it, which was too heavy.
"There should be, go back and wash it and dry it, it's enough to eat for a while." Seeing the shrimp in the bucket, Zhang Tao remembered at this time, as if he really hadn't eaten this kind of rice shrimp for many years, and this time he could eat a few meals.
When he walked to the door of his house from upstream, Zhang Tao saw a black cat walking in front of his eyes, holding a fat mouse in his mouth, looking very calm and leisurely, and he was not afraid of Zhang Tao and the two who were walking towards it at all.
"Huh? Isn't this black charcoal? It's so powerful! Caught a rat of this size. Zhang Yan on the side had sharp eyes, and when he saw the black cat in front of him, he recognized who this guy was, and when he saw the fat mouse in the guy's mouth, he couldn't help but praise it.
Zhang Tao saw that Hei Tan looked leisurely, and the whole person was not good, Ma's, every time he went to the blind man's house, this guy pretended not to move, and often jumped on himself as if he couldn't jump, so that he could tickle and scratch lice.
Now this leisurely look, still holding such a big mouse, how can there be a little old and don't want to move, it's really special! In these years, the world is not ancient, even cats can be pretended, and Zhang Tao's original interest in fishing a bucket of shrimp is gone.
After going back, Zhang Tao wilted at home for a night, and he was very unhappy when he thought of the black charcoal. But after the next day, this mood was gone, and he was called out by his grandfather early in the morning to teach Tai Chi to the old people in the town.
This matter was confirmed a few days after the year, and the relevant notices were sent to all villages. All people over the age of 50 can also receive two sets of practice clothes as long as they contact Tai Chi, which is sponsored by several of Zhang Tao's companies.
Young people don't have this treatment, they want to learn, and they bring their own equipment. However, the places where young people study are also different, they can learn from the school to the school, and if they don't have a school, they can go to some old people who know how to learn, and they can go to learn while watching.
This kind of thing is not reluctant, it is all voluntary, and today is the first day of promoting Tai Chi for all people in the town. These old people in Huangpu Village have been practicing for a while, and they all know a little, plus Master Chen, and in the future, the old people in each village in the town will be responsible for teaching.
Zhang Tao's grandfather was in charge of the old people in the center of the town, and he didn't know if he was embarrassed or what. His old man insisted on pulling Zhang Tao with him, Zhang Tao's Tai Chi was better than him, and asked Zhang Tao to help him.
For his grandfather's request, Zhang Tao has to go over even if he doesn't want to, not to mention that he has no objection to this, just as he is playing a routine in front of everyone, and there is no problem.
After arriving at the large square in the town, there were already a dozen or so old people standing here, all of whom were activists who responded to the town's call. There were retired workers and old cadres in it, and Zhang Tao also saw several old professors of the Agricultural University.
At this time, Zhang Tao knew why his grandfather called him over, he was here to perform. When the time is up, I finish a set by myself and show it to the people who come over, so that the people who come to learn will have an impression of Tai Chi.
Zhang Tao was a little depressed after listening to his grandfather's words, this is not to think of himself as a monkey. However, he couldn't resist his grandfather, so he honestly went to a cement platform in the square, and then hit the square again.
"Good! This young man's Tai Chi is very energetic! After a set was completed, the old men and grandmothers below applauded, obviously they were still very interested in learning this thing.
Zhang Tao was about to step down after playing a routine, when the words of the two young people below reached his ears: "What is there to learn about this slow kung fu, it is estimated that even an old man can't fight, and it is too far from taekwondo!" ”
There were quite a few young people below, some of them came to see the excitement, and some of them were attracted by the cheers of the old people just now. They seemed to be very dissatisfied with Zhang Tao's play on the stage, and felt like an embroidered pillow.
Zhang Tao paused after hearing this, and then stopped. He didn't immediately get off the stage and let his grandfather go up to explain, but looked at the two young people who had just spoken, and then set up a few wooden pillars on the stage.
The people in the audience looked at Zhang Tao's movements and didn't understand what he wanted to do, why he was tossing those wooden pillars on the stage. Zhang Tao's grandfather seemed to guess what Zhang Tao meant, but he didn't stop his grandson, but watched Zhang Tao fiddle.
When Zhang Tao did all this, he remembered a small story he had read in his previous life, which seemed to be about the kung fu emperor abroad. When he performed Tai Chi for people, he was also criticized as he is now, and the guy immediately played a trick.
kicked the host's table in pairs, scared the host's face white on the spot, and hurriedly apologized to the Emperor of Kung Fu, saying that he underestimated the kung fu of the East, and Tai Chi was very powerful.
Zhang Tao is doing something similar to this now, Tai Chi is not as simple as it seems on the surface, some may be mixed with the elements of performance, but the real power cannot be underestimated, otherwise it will not be so widespread.
I played with Brother Xu in Kyoto, and after that time, Zhang Tao really realized the true meaning of this and knew the power of real Tai Chi.
At this moment, he didn't mind using his own kung fu to show those young people that the things of the ancestors were not bad, and they might be stronger than those imported products, but no one promoted them seriously.
After a few wooden pillars were placed, Zhang Tao still used the same routine as before, but the moves were much more powerful. After a routine was played, the wooden pillars with thick arms that were erected broke one after another, startling the people watching below.
