Chapter 177: The Chess Style Prevails
Mu Lingtong was the first to calm down, she used chopsticks to pick up Yijia's delicacies, she didn't know what kind of food she took out, and wanted to calm down her mood.
But when I put it in my mouth, I was stunned, I don't know what it is, it tastes too good, right?
Several people moved their chopsticks one after another, and An Yijia explained that this thing is called peanuts, and after it is planted, it is fried in an oil pan and sprinkled with sugar.
White sugar, stir-frying, peanuts, all the vocabulary is a little rusty for Luoyang people, obviously Luoyang is not behind Chang'an's big city, but a few people suddenly feel that they are like countrymen.
"Now that the potato has begun to spread across the country, it seems that there are high-yield crops such as corn and peanuts, which I have also heard, is this the thing?" Mu Lingtong asked.
"Yes, it is the third high-yield crop after potatoes and corn, my family said that it can be used as a staple food, oil extraction, seasoning, etc., the first batch was planted in the official field of Sinong Temple, the yield is not as good as potatoes, but it is far more than all the current crops in the Tang Dynasty."
"At present, in addition to the cylindrical roll paper that you know, there is a better paper pumping type, such as this one."
An Yijia took out a square plastic paper package from her backpack, and saw hundreds of pieces of paper lying neatly inside, and she could smell a fragrance after pulling out one.
If you look closely, there are still some patterns and dense grains on the paper, and it seems to be more advanced than this roll of paper.
"Yijia, could it be that your master is developed? Became an official in the court? ”
Listening to Miss An say something that everyone didn't understand at all but didn't know what to do, and then looked at the paper, a few people were a little dizzy, and Mu Lingtong asked.
She knew that the two masters of the two sisters, Yijia and Xintong, were both great talents in the world, and if the imperial court found out that their talents would definitely be in high positions, she now had enough reasons to guess like this.
"Let's not talk about this for now, let's eat quickly."
An Yijia did not expose her current situation, thinking about promoting badminton, this time she traveled because she couldn't carry too many things, and there were only a few pairs of rackets.
Badminton is very easy to damage, ordinary people may be able to play for a long time, but those of them who have cultivation may be broken at every turn, I don't know how long it will take for Lord Chen to transport the next batch of materials?
After they were full of wine and food, they came to a property in the city of Mu Lingtong, there was a very open space in this courtyard, An Yijia drew two rackets, and told a few people that Chang'an now has the latest entertainment game, called badminton.
"It seems that the Chang'an Cup is being held now, Yijia, you didn't lie to us, right?"
Mu Lingtong smiled bitterly, she always felt that she was well-informed, but now it seems that she is eight hundred miles away from Chang'an, and she is like being blind and deaf, and she doesn't know anything.
An Yijia said with a smile: "Chess is a way to play on the surface, badminton has just become popular in the court, and it was also invented by Lord Chen. ”
"It hasn't spread in Chang'an, but badminton is particularly physically demanding, I don't know if you're interested?"
Where can a few people not be interested, even His Majesty is obsessed with sports, and the last thing they are afraid of in martial arts is physical exercise, so they naturally want to try it.
So, from the afternoon to the evening, the five of them went crazy.
At first, they were a little confused by the two of them beating a fluttery thing back and forth.
But when An Yijia suddenly hit Mu Lingtong with a few smashes and couldn't react at all, they immediately understood the essence of this game.
Broke six balls in one afternoon, this is still the situation that several people will not play at the beginning, An Yijia wiped the sweat on her forehead, and at present, it seems that the promotion of badminton may really set off a storm.
Now Mu Qing and Yang Guoan have gone crazy, and they have lit arm-thick candles in advance and are ready to fight at night.
If it weren't for the fact that she and Mu Lingtong had to rest and had no opponent, Lin Xueyi would not want to come back now.
Mu Lingtong and An Yijia are the same peerless beauties as one in a million, she has a light skirt and a masked, but she hides a murderous blade, she is gentle and heroic, and her temperament is the same as An Yijia.
She carefully tugged at the tissue to wipe it, and she felt a little heartache after using several of them in the afternoon.
"Lingtong, Xueyi, what do you think of this badminton, would you like to play it if it was someone else?" An Yijia asked.
"Sister Yijia, I think those who don't like to play this must be fools, it's so fun! It's just a waste of this badminton, and I'm worried that if I have too much strength, this racket will be broken. ”
Lin Xueyi said with some pain next to her, she put the net in front of her, and saw that a line seemed to be crooked, which made her feel distressed.
An Yijia said: "This is indeed a problem, so when I was leaving, I asked me to prepare more badminton, maybe the craftsmanship of this thing can be improved in the future, and it will become stronger?" ”
She had already told a few people about the concept of the net and the game today, but because they couldn't let it go, they didn't play it out according to the way the game was played, but even then they were very satisfied.
"Yijia, will there be a competition in badminton in the future?" Mu Lingtong asked.
That mysterious Lord Chen, since the chess he has researched can be played, can this badminton also be played? If so, then they have too much of an advantage.
"Yes, this time I set out to promote, I can't stay in Luoyang for many days, and when Chang'an's badminton equipment is delivered, I will go to the next stop, and I may go to Yangzhou and Yuezhou later."
The two girls were immediately overjoyed, if this is the case, I wonder if they can also get the corresponding rewards through the competition?
There have been flying pigeons to pass the rewards of the Chang'an Cup competition back to Luoyang, and the entire Luoyang Shizi official and business group is red, if it is not really a missed opportunity, they can't wait to put on their wings and fly over.
"I see that the popularity of Luoyang chess is not high."
An Yijia smiled: "At present, there are countless chess stalls in Chang'an one hundred and eight squares, and there are countless chess stalls in Fangfang, regardless of adults and children, they will gather day and night, and from time to time there will even be rich and noble families passing by to watch chess, Chang'an's chess style is gradually prospering, I am afraid that next time even if Luoyang participates in the war, it will not get any benefits." ”
"Is that an exaggeration?" Mu Lingtong was a little stunned in her heart, which strengthened her determination to go to Chang'an.
At present, compared with Luoyang and Chang'an, she really feels that there are a lot of things missing, it seems that the whole world is lively over there, if she doesn't go to see it on the spot, she will regret it.
The next day, more people on Anxia Street learned about how to play badminton, first dozens of people in Mu Lingtong's yard watched, and then they put up a fight on the street.
An Yijia and Mu Lingtong have outstanding martial arts, and the light skills are even more elegant and smart, like An Yijia, Mu Lingtong's skills are also improving rapidly, and when An Yijia uses eighty percent of her strength, Mu Lingtong can already tie with her.
I saw an umbrella-shaped white ball that could hardly be caught by the naked eye flying around, and the figures of the two women quickly moved around a blocking net, and the sound of snapping and hitting sounded from time to time, and every minute and second was full of thrills.
Whenever people thought that the ball would hit the ground, it would always be quickly remedied, and whenever people breathed a sigh of relief, the umbrella-shaped white ball would be knocked away in an instant.
