Chapter 13 Qingming

Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble to the corporal.

Xiang Zhi died at the beginning, who knows the truth of his life?

With that, Wu Fan slapped another Gu Quan on the table with two fingers in his hand. Although Wu Fan said that he had never said a book, he often listened to books when he was a child, especially when he was a little called Hua, and often went to the bottom of the overpass to listen to the storyteller to comment on the story. Why? It's not because of how good people are to 'start', so Wu Fan can be described as decent to learn, and after listening to it for a long time and becoming a family, it is just that the ancient spring that says 'Kaitong' is written on it, and the ancient spring that can be called the only one at that time appeared in the hands of this young man who had nothing for some reason.

With the sound of 'embroidered piers' smashing the ground scattered, the first one to shout had to say that the little tiger baby Wang Xinhan, where had the child seen this? When he saw Wu Fan, this battle was like a goblin in the deep mountains and old forests seeing a holy monk from the Tang Dynasty.

"That's a good point! One more! ”

Wu Fan was dumbfounded, one more? After listening to books for so many years, there is no storyteller who has set a poem to say two, so let's have another one. "Since everyone is gracious, then I will say one more; One piece of cut cake is four taels, and two pieces of cut cake are half a catty; Three pieces of cut cake are twelve taels, and four pieces of cut cake are a pound. ”

"Heyβ€”Dad, isn't a pound ten taels? Then why are four pieces of cut cake only one pound? Wang Xinhan shook his little head and asked the boss Wang, from childhood to now, no teacher just talks about decimal knowledge, and his little head can't cope with these calculations beyond his knowledge reserves.

Boss Wang Dynasty stretched out the thick palm that could only turn decay into magic, rubbed his son's brain, and said with a smile: "Wu Fan is talking about the measurement system a long time ago, the decimal system is actually used by the ancient Indians, in our ancient times, most of them used the octal system, and they used the hexadecimal system, and it was naturally not so troublesome to use it." However, the Indians invented the number 0 very early, which has to be said to be of great mathematical significance, and later Westerners formally accepted this system after comparison, and finally spread it to the world. This kind of measurement system is used in China after liberation, but the hexadecimal system is still used on some old scales in some rural areas, for example, there are many near our hometown. ”

When it comes to his hometown, Wang Xinhan is always silent, although his father always mentions his hometown to himself, but he just refuses to take himself to see it, and always tells himself that he has been too busy recently, and I will go when I grow up, or it's not time yet, why not? I know how to cheat children all day long, forget it, who makes them parents?

It is said that when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom captured Jinling City, the capital was set in Nanjing, your hometown, the boss, and the Kingdom of Heaven! The bull coaxing of this country's name does not mean that the combat strength is strong. Chen Taiping, the right-hand man of Li Xiucheng, the "loyal king" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was pursued by the Qing soldiers, and a nearby farmer stepped forward to help, disguised Chen Taiping as a farmer, and plowed the land with him. Chen Taiping was not caught, and the Qing soldiers did not give up, so they added troops to the village and set up posts, and everyone who left the village had to be inspected to prevent them from bringing food to Chen Taiping.

After returning home, when the farmer was thinking about what to bring for Chen Taiping to eat, he walked out of the door, stepped on a clump of wormwood, slipped and fell, and when he got up, he saw that his hands and knees were dyed with green colors. He immediately took it to heart, and hurriedly picked some wormwood and went home to wash it, boil it, squeeze the juice, knead it into glutinous rice flour, and make it into rice balls. Then put the green dumplings in the grass and mix with the sentinels at the entrance of the village. Chen Taiping ate Qingtuan and felt that it was fragrant, glutinous and non-sticky. After dark, he bypassed the Qing guard post and returned safely to the base camp. Later, Li Xiucheng ordered the Taiping army to learn to be a youth league to protect themselves against the enemy. Later, the traditional custom of eating Qingtuan was spread in the south. We don't have this thing in the north, and the materials are not easy to get, so I will give you a taste today.

As soon as the words fell, Xiu'er came to everyone from the back kitchen with a large drawer of freshly steamed Qingtuan. "Let's eat first, there are other Qingming fruits in the back, I'll go to the back to get them."

For Wu Fan's only skill that he has mastered for so many years, Wu Fan naturally wants to show it, everyone present except for the boss Wang Chao who has eaten a few times in his hometown, almost everyone else has never seen it, and everyone is not polite at all, picking it up and eating, everyone is sweating profusely.

Wu Fan warned Wang Xinhan and said: "Wang Xinhan, don't be greedy, just eat some, the ingredients of Qingming fruit are not complicated, but the main two ingredients, wormwood and rat jucao, are often mentioned in the compendium of materia medica. ”

As the largest city in Northeast China, Shenyang naturally has an unparalleled number of people and factories in other cities, so Shenyang's PM2.5 value is so high every day that it can even reach the point of not being able to see your fingers during the day. Wu Fan even felt that he, a teenager who had been wandering since he was twelve years old, could really be called a 'foggy orphan' living in the city of Shenyang. Wu Fan still remembers that his favorite thing when he was a child was lying on the green lawn and looking at the white clouds in the sky, and now?

Wu Fan sighed, he just asked Xia Jie to send Aunt Zhou some Qingming Fruit to the past, for a person, it has been too long for a dead relative to pass away, I'm afraid that the most sincere feelings will become worthless. Whatever? Wu Fan found a few pieces of kraft paper, wrapped a few Qingming fruits, and walked out the door.

The sky was about to get dark, and Wu Fan knew that the person who asked for food at about this time should also 'get off work', so he took a few Qingming fruits and sent them to the two of them.

Sure enough, not long after Wu Fan arrived, the old man was ready to pack up and leave after playing the last tune. Wu Fan went up and humbly handed over the Qingming fruit that had just been wrapped and said: "Old man, you haven't eaten so late, I'll give you five yuan at most after listening to the erhu here for so long, I'm sorry, there's no way to be poor." I'll bring you something to eat for you to taste. ”

The erhu girl next to her installed the erhu for the erhu caller, and the erhu caller stood up and patted the dust on the buttocks and said: "Thank you for this gentleman, I didn't expect Lao'er to ask for food for so many years, and someone will send food to Lao'er." In recent years, people have been looking at money, and they don't know anything but money. I feel that giving someone some money is the greatest gift to others, and the saddest thing is that most people still agree with it. Lao Er can rub Mr. some food today, I am very grateful. ”

"Old gentleman, don't thank you, I have something I want to ask the old gentleman, I don't know if I should talk about it?"

Lao Xianghua nodded, and the white hair on her head trembled.

"I want to ask the old gentleman if you are blind or not, and you are not an entertainer."

"Huh? I have been frail and sickly since I was a child, and unfortunately I suffered from eye diseases and lost my eyes for a long time. What did this gentleman say? ”

"Sir, what others ask for food is hoping that the clothes they wear are as torn as possible, and the robe on your body is not to mention the exquisite workmanship, although there are a few holes, it is also tight and mended. And then there is this erhu in your hand, not only the black dragon on the headpiece is exquisitely workmanlike, but also this piano stand is also a high-quality old mahogany, according to my estimation, your erhu does not say that the price is tens of thousands, I am afraid that there is also a seven or eight thousand yuan, if it is an ordinary person who asks for food, I am afraid that he will not be willing to spend so much money to buy an erhu. And there is a small detail, that is, every day when you and the person next to you clean up after work, you always go to get his bowl, and he will take your one, which shows that you are not short of money, you just like to play erhu, right? ”

The erhu is called Huale: "Haha, this gentleman is really smart, and the old man's eye disease is indeed pretended." ”

"Why is the old gentleman pretending to be blind?"

"Hey, Lao Er doesn't have much fun in his life, he just likes to pull an erhu, but since the blind A Bing and his "Erquan Reflecting the Moon" resounded in Kyushu, those of us who pull the erhu If we don't get blind or something, others say that we are not professional, and we can't get such a pair of black sunglasses to wear, it doesn't matter if you don't wear it, you don't want to take it off if you wear it. I have done everything in my life, I have joined the army, and I have gone south and north after business, I have seen this great river and mountain, and I found that there is really nothing to see when I see it, so it is better not to see it, and I will be idle. Isn't there such a saying, stealing half a day of leisure. But this gentleman, you are still young, and a bright future awaits you, right? ”

Wu Fan smiled bitterly and didn't speak.

"Lao Er has actually earned it in this life, and he is actually content to have a full meal for three meals a day. And Lao Er has a pair of children under his knees, although the little girl is not very obedient, but she is very filial, and she always brings some good cigarettes and tea to Lao Er for three days. Just now, Mr. said that he would give Lao Er five yuan at most, and Lao Er was actually very happy. A rich man with a lot of money gives you five dollars and a person who only has five dollars gives you five dollars, although there is no difference in quantity, but this feels too much worse, doesn't it? But we can't say that the rich man gave us ten yuan is not enough, people have no obligation to give us money, since people are kind, we have to understand, or it is the white-eyed wolf who is not greedy enough to swallow the elephant, shame. In fact, we are poor, there is nothing to be ashamed of, it is nothing more than a little poor when we are reincarnated. But if you are poor, then you are really poor. Otherwise, why are Mao Taizu, Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bang all small people in the market, but they can all stand so high? It's nothing more than doing something that others don't think about, or even dare not think about. It's a good thing to be a little poor and miserable when you're young, and it's a big deal to enjoy more happiness when you're old, so why not do it? ”
