Breakfast is a few simple things, steamed buns, millet porridge and spicy cabbage. The steamed buns are made in the kitchen of the steamed bun shop and are usually used for staff meals. In order to avoid the influence of brighteners, the flour deliberately chose standard flour instead of the ultra-white Fuqiang flour that ordinary residents like.

Although there is no filling, the noodles are kneaded and raised with special water, and the steamed buns that come out of this way are just as soft and delicate, sweet and delicious.

"By the way, Xiaoying, when you turn on the washing machine for a while, you help my brother wash his clothes by the way, and put them on the chair next to the bed." Li Youran arranged work while biting on steamed buns.

"You know, I don't know how long you've been wearing it? I just remembered. Sun Xiaoying muttered, then tore the steamed buns into small pieces and put them in the porridge to eat together.

After breakfast, Li Youran opened a large cardboard box on the coffee table in the living room, revealing two crimson wooden jars, which were the Yunzi Go he had ordered online two days ago, and a chessboard made of poplar. The chess pieces are said to be hand-polished, high-end goods, and a set costs more than 1,000 yuan.

He took the chess jar and chessboard, as well as a Go book, to the pavilion in the courtyard, and placed the chessboard in the center of the stone table, and the chess jar was set aside.

Go is an ancient art with a profound historical and cultural heritage, and I always feel that there is a lack of an atmosphere after playing chess and reading music on the computer.

Li Youran sat upright on the padded round stone bench, spread out the chess book with his left hand, opened the lids of the two chess jars with his right hand, picked up a sunspot with his hand, and the fingertips came with a warm feeling.

Yunzi is a Yunnan specialty of the Go chess piece, has a long history, is known for its exquisite workmanship, and the material is made of natural materials such as agate stone and purple ying stone. The texture is delicate and jade, the color is crystal clear and soft, firm but not brittle, heavy but not slippery. Far from being comparable to ordinary glass and plastic chess pieces.

He slapped the sunspot on the poplar chessboard, "pop", the sound was crisp and not floating, and it was very emotional.

Subsequently, Li leisurely opened the Go book. Playing in the gazebo, the breeze is blowing, and the bamboo forest not far away makes a rustling ensemble, which makes people feel relaxed and comfortable.

At this moment, the bell rang at the courtyard gate.

Li Youran stopped playing, got up and walked to the gate of the courtyard, he thought it was a staff member who collected gas bills or something.

When I got closer, I saw a man with a big goatee and a ruddy face standing outside the door. The old man with a straight waist and a pocket in his hand.

"Yo. Isn't this Old Man Qu. You're here. When Li Youran saw it, it turned out to be the old man Qu who taught him to practice Tai Chi by the lake last time, but he didn't expect to come to visit.

He hurriedly opened the courtyard door and invited the old man in.

"Hehe, it's okay today, come and hang out. It wouldn't be unwelcome, would it? Old Man Qu said happily.

"Hey, that's what I said. I can't wait for it, you taught me Tai Chi last time, and I feel awesome after I practiced it. I'd like to ask you to teach me the following. Li Youran said as he habitually reached out to help.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he felt wrong, the other party was a martial arts practitioner, not an ordinary old man, just with this spirit, it was impolite to help others by himself. Thinking of this, he quickly withdrew his hand.

After entering the courtyard, Old Man Qu looked around, the area of the yard was quite large, even more than his own home, which made him a little surprised, this Xiao Li is young, and his economic strength is not weak, don't be a rich second generation, an official second generation or something like that.

A few steps further, the courtyard is full of flowers and trees, full of life, and full of greenery in the sunlight. …,

"Xiao Li, the trees in this garden are really good, did you find someone who specializes in landscaping?" Old Man Qu asked.

"Where, where, this is my hobby, I usually like to play with it, and it makes you laugh." Li Youran explained while taking the old man to continue walking forward and visiting various scenery.

Turning a corner, he saw the bamboo forest in the southwest corner of the courtyard, Old Man Qu's eyes lit up, and he walked two steps in a row to the front of the bamboo forest, and praised it.

You know, in the north, it's rare to see bamboo like this.

"What kind of bamboo are yours? Looks so good. Old man Qu stretched out his hand and gently stroked a bamboo tree close to the path, the bamboo trunk was straight, the posture was beautiful, and it was verdant.

"It's early garden bamboo, a common variety in the north." Li Youran introduced.

"No, I've seen a lot of bamboo in the early garden, where is the bamboo so thick? The leaves aren't that big. The old man questioned.

"Oh, this is a friend who sent it, I heard that it is a new variety developed by the Academy of Forestry, a hybrid between the early garden bamboo in the north and the moso bamboo in the south." Li Youran hurriedly made up a reason.

"Oh, that's possible, I said it wouldn't be pure early garden bamboo." Old Man Qu nodded, now that technology is changing with each passing day, it is normal for new products to appear.

He loved the bamboo forest so much that it reminded him of his years in the south. looked left and right, lingered for more than 20 minutes, and then reluctantly left.

Then came to the vicinity of the pavilion, and the old man Qu saw the Go on the stone table at a glance, and immediately became interested.

"Xiao Li, I didn't expect you to like this too."

"Hehe, old man, I just learned to play Go, and I haven't started yet. Do you also play this? Li leisurely took a look, daring to love this old man or a fellow practitioner. Hurriedly asked him to sit down on the stone bench.

"If you want to say that my old man is old, there is nothing else, just four things." The old man touched his goatee and said with a smile.

"Oh, what are the four things that are good? I would like to hear about it. Li Youran's words suddenly became civilized.

"Hehe, it's not elegant, it's Tai Chi, Go, wine, and walnuts, and it's inseparable." The old man said, took the chess jar in his hand, and looked inside, it was actually a good Yunzi, and this Xiao Li in front of him was playing quite professionally.

Li Youran listened, the first three things are easy to understand, and the walnut in the back is a little weird, but the walnut kernel can replenish the brain, maybe the old man likes to eat it, and it is used for health care.

"In fact, Tai Chi and Go are inextricably linked, and they can promote each other and understand each other. By the way, it's rare to get lucky, so let's talk about a game. The old man suggested.

Li Youran was thinking about the relationship between Tai Chi and Go when he heard this, and he couldn't understand it for a while. Hearing Mr. Qu's suggestion, he naturally pushed the boat down the river and accepted it.
