Chapter 285: Dominoes
In the past two or three days, Liang Yu and others played crazy with Jackton and a few gringos, and every time they came home, they would take out the photos they took to share with everyone, and the excitement made Li Quan and others roll their eyes. It's just that they forget that when they first arrived, it wasn't much better.
On the contrary, although several gringos have very ordinary Chinese, and the Mandarin of the villagers of Chujiazhai is also speechless, they get along with each other very harmoniously and are still very familiar. It is no wonder that these three wronged leaders made a wide shot, and the fingers leaked out casually, which was enough to let the villagers struggle for a while.
In addition, the three of them also donated millions for the infrastructure construction and environmental protection management of Chujiazhai. For this reason, the old village chief also held a plenary meeting and awarded the title of honorary villager to the three guys. Such a bloody measure, you don't have to guess to know that it was proposed by that kid from Chu Jiacheng.
Not to mention, not long after this kid came back, he has become a pioneer in Chujiazhai, representing the most advanced productivity in Chujiazhai, and introducing some modern agricultural tools again and again, which has opened the eyes of the villagers.
However, he was also reprimanded by his family, saying that he was a loser, and those families in the family were about to be defeated by him. Every time he was criticized and fought in front of the whole village, this kid always bit a sentence: I'm also an official now, so let's give me some face!
"Good fellows! Where did this little thing dig up such a big bamboo shoot? Zhou Furong suddenly saw Xiao Jin holding a big bamboo shoot and gnawing on it, and he hurriedly grabbed it. This season's bamboo shoots are a rarity!
Everyone leaned over to watch the excitement. I saw Zhou Furong holding a bamboo shoot with soil in his hand, which was very huge. Looking at the notch that Xiaojin has bitten, it is quite crisp and tender. And Xiao Jin is stretched with two big teeth that are shining cold. The threat looked at Zhou Furong.
"Huh! How can there be bamboo shoots at this time? Odd! Chen Wu asked suspiciously.
Actually, this is the bamboo shoot that Chu Jiaqiang threw to Xiaojin. When Chu Jiaqiang just came back, this guy secretly stretched out his claws towards Chu Jiaqiang, and he still put on a posture of not giving up. Chu Jiaqiang couldn't, so he had to throw two of them. Who knows, this guy hides one first. I'm only now taking it out and gnawing on it.
Chu Jiaqiang saw these people making a fuss, and said depressedly: "Haven't you heard of the out-of-season? Bamboo shoots are indeed a product of spring, but that's the general case. In fact, bamboo shoots are available a lot of times, but there are too few. People just didn't pay attention. Otherwise, where do the bamboo shoots that everyone eats in autumn and winter come from? ”
After speaking, he took the bamboo shoot and threw it to Xiao Jin again. Seeing that these people were overwhelming, Xiao Jin, the little guy, first quickly bit Zhou Furong's trouser legs, and then dragged the bamboo shoots away quickly.
Zhou Furong suddenly screamed tragically: "!" My pants are thousands of oceans. ”
Everyone burst into laughter instantly, only to see that this guy's pants were missing a small piece. Many people know that his pants are top-of-the-line in the Maldives and have not been worn a few times.
After laughing, Li Quan touched his nose with some embarrassment. "I thought that the other seasons were made from dried bamboo shoots. ”
Chu Jiaqiang was speechless for a while, and it could be seen that this guy had never gone to buy vegetables at all. In rural areas, this phenomenon is often referred to as "turning autumn", which means anti-seasonal.
"Then let's go look for it, dig it up and come back to eat, and suddenly I want to eat it." Ye Caiping suggested that she hadn't eaten fresh bamboo shoots in months.
Seeing that everyone else licked their lips subconsciously, Chu Jiaqiang had no choice but to nod: "Okay!" Don't go. I'll go up in the afternoon. "He knew that if he brought these guys, not only would he not be able to help, but he would also be a drag on himself.
"Big brother, I'll go with you!" Chu Jiaxiong said.
Seeing Chu Jiaqiang nodding, the others also wanted to take a look and have a good time. Originally, Chu Jiaqiang was determined not to let these people follow, but he couldn't bear Ye Caiping's pestering and grinding with a few little girls, so he agreed.
There was nothing to do left and right, and a group of people wandered around the village. When they came to the large oak tree in the village, they found that there were some people gathered here. These people are either old people or children.
After improvements, this large oak tree, which covers an area of more than five acres, has become a leisure area underneath, one of the two favorite places for the elderly to visit, the other is the small island in the Chujiaqiang Reservoir.
There are a lot of round stone tables and stone benches underneath here, which were specially made of granite by the town government. Usually, these old people like to talk here, drink tea and discuss chess. Many children came with the elderly, playing games and spinning tops in groups.
Now Chujiazhai has embarked on the right path, which can be described as thriving. In the past, these elderly people had to take their grandchildren to farm. But now that the young people in the family have basically returned, they don't have to worry about the farm work at home, so they are idle and can gather here.
In addition, there are a few tourists who are watching, and they seem to be quite interested. Chu Jiaqiang fixed his eyes and found that it was a domino that had been lost for a long time. I often saw this thing when I was a child, but later as the younger generation went out to work, the older generation couldn't be empty, and they hid these dominoes one by one.
Many people saw the arrival of Chu Jiaqiang's group, and they greeted each other one after another. Today, Chu Jiaqiang's prestige has reached a point where no one has touched it. Who in Chujiazhai doesn't know who changed their lives today?
"Uncles and aunts, I'm so excited today!" Chu Jiaqiang said with a smile.
"Life is much better now, you don't know, the people in the surrounding villages are very red-eyed." The old man said with a smile on his face.
Chen Wu's eyes suddenly widened, and he said in surprise: "Huh! I haven't seen it for a while, Chujiazhai has kept up with the trend of the times, and even Domino has played. ”
Jackton and the others were also very surprised to see such an elegant movement here. You know, domino is the most well-known, the most participatory, and the most widely expanded sport in non-Olympic sports.
Zhou Furong saw it clearly and found that this was not a domino, but a very famous game in ancient China: dominoes! Such an old game came out, and this guy's interest immediately came to the ground. He glanced at the others: "Uneducated, it's terrible!" Explain it to them, old man. ”
Seeing this guy's pretending appearance, Chu Jiaqiang didn't know how to evaluate him.
"This is our traditional Chinese game: dominoes! It's quite interesting, and the charm is no worse than mahjong. At this time, a tourist who had been watching for a long time said.
Chu Jiaqiang nodded, patted the man's shoulder, and asked, "I've watched it for so long, have you learned it?" Then, I explained to you that in fact, everyone was not all wrong, and they were not all right.
Dominomes get their name from the materials they are made of, and they are called dominoes because most of them are made of cow bones. Dominoes are also made of ivory, so they are also called ivory cards. The earliest time when dominoes were produced was about the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty in China, so it is also called "Xuanhe card".
In the final analysis, dominoes are evolved from dice, but the composition of dominoes is far more complex than dice, such as two "six points" spelled into "sky cards", two "unit points" spelled into "ground cards", a "six points" and a "five points" spelled into "tiger head", people call it. Therefore, the play of dominoes is also more varied and interesting than dice. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the popular "push pai gow" and "play the sky nine" are more attractive games. Mahjong is one of the most influential forms of dominoes.
After the Opium War, an Italian missionary named Domino brought the dominoes back to Milan. As the most precious gift, he gave the domino to his youngest daughter. In order to make more people play dominoes, Domino made a large number of wooden dominoes and invented various ways to play. Soon, the wooden dominoes spread rapidly throughout Italy and throughout Europe, and the game of dominoes became an elegant sport for Europeans.
Later, in order to thank Domino for bringing them such a good sport, the domino game was named "Domino". By the 19th century, dominoes had become a worldwide sport. Since then, "dominoes" have become a buzzword. In an interconnected system, a small initial energy can produce a chain reaction that is known as a "domino effect" or "domino effect".
"Khan! It turns out that this domino is still the ancestor of so many sports? Li Quan said with wide eyes.
When those tourists heard this, they felt even more proud. The so-called elegant dominoes in foreign countries are just a branch of our Chinese dominoes, the blood is not pure, and the authenticity is still here!
"Come, come! I've been paying attention to this thing for a long time, but now it's lost in many places. You see, we'll get together at a table in a moment. Zhou Furong immediately squeezed in.
Immediately, I heard him speak again: "Huh! Great stuff! It's nearly a thousand years old. It's a pity, if it's made of ivory, it's worth a lot. However, this pair should be worth one or two hundred thousand, and it is not impossible to meet someone who needs it, three hundred thousand. ”
As soon as these words came out, the old man who was having fun immediately paused and looked up at Zhou Furong suddenly. One of the voices asked with a little trembling, "You say that my dominoes are worth two or three hundred thousand?" ”
"I'm playing with antiques, and I can still talk big?"
Li Quan muttered: "People who play antiques can talk the most!" "He knows that those people can say that what is fake can be true, and what is true can also become false, which shows how powerful that mouth is.
Seeing Zhou Furong's affirmation, the old man immediately rolled up the dominoes on the stone table: "Don't play, this treasure has to be taken home and hidden." "He's ready to use the domino as a family heirloom.
Chu Jiaqiang suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, but he also understood. In the eyes of people in the city, two or three hundred thousand yuan is just to buy an ordinary car, which is not very useful. But in these countryside, it's enough to be a baby.
