Chapter Twenty-Four: The Recipe for the Water Mirror

The war evolved with chess can make people see more clearly, Ma Hong is holding the chess pieces in his hands, the joints of his fingers are painful, he has been carving words in the afternoon, only to engrave three words, but he is tired enough. At this time, playing against Pang Tong, Ma Hong didn't take Pang Tong to heart, but after ten steps, Ma Hong began to find that Pang Tong's chess skills had improved a lot, and he had even caught up with him as a teacher. Ma Hong frowned and thought carefully, his palms were full of sweat, and he secretly said in his heart: This Pang Tong is really a natural chess player, I only played three games of chess with him half a year ago, but I didn't expect him to be my opponent now.

Pang Tong picked up the car and ate Ma Hong's taxi, and said, "General." ”

Pang Tong's eyes were a little hot, and he secretly said in his heart: For more than a month, I have been grinding stones every day, and I have calculated the changes in the chess pieces in my heart, but I didn't expect it to be used today, Ma Hong, you are doomed. ”

Liu Ye watched the two of them fall, and said secretly in his heart: Although this chess is only thirty-six pieces, it is also ever-changing, and it is really not easy for Senior Brother Ma to improve this chess to such a point.

Xu Shu silently recited in his heart on the side: "Although there are few chess pieces, they are as interesting as Go." Can Pang Tong at least see the chess moves outside the four moves, the moves taken, step by step, leading the opponent to walk? ”

After a stick of incense, Ma Hong raised his head, wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve, and smiled at Pang Tong: "It's live." ”

Pang Tong put down the chess pieces, touched his nose, and sneered at Ma Hong: "Why, didn't you say that Senior Brother He Ziyang can easily defeat me in poetry?" ”

Ma Hong smiled slightly and said: "I didn't expect your chess skills to progress rapidly, have you secretly practiced in the past half a year?" ”

Pang Tong snorted and said: "That's not true, this is my fourth game of chess, lose you in the first three games, draw you in the fourth game, and win you in the fifth game." ”

Liu Ye and Xu Shu looked at each other and smiled, and they both smiled secretly in their hearts: Pang Tong's competitiveness is really strong.

"Then I'll wait." After Ma Hong finished speaking to Pang Tong, he smiled at Xu Shu and Liu Ye and said, "Two senior brothers, I think you have already understood, why don't you two play a game?" ”

Xu Shu and Liu Ye smiled at each other, sat on the ground, set up the chess pieces, and began to play. Ma Hong sat on the mat on the side and watched the two senior brothers play against each other, Xu Shu and Liu Ye both played Ma Hong's improved chess for the first time, both of them understood each other's minds, tried their best to make each other familiar with the chess path, and tried to drag out the game for as long as possible.

Ma Hong looked at the chess pieces and said with a secret smile in his heart: If it is about mental nature, the senior brothers are much more mature than Pang Tong, and Pang Tong and I actually wanted to win me in the first game of chess. But if I hadn't been good at chess, I might have lost to him in the first game half a year ago.

The candlelight flickered, Ma Hong leaned lightly against the wall, his hands clasped his legs, his chin on his knees and looked at the chess pieces on the chessboard, which became more and more blurred. After two days of driving and carving a stone tablet for half a day, he was really tired, and before he knew it, Ma Hong had fallen asleep with his knees in his arms. Pang Tong sat on the side and watched Xu and Liu play chess, while drinking, seeing that the two did not win or lose to play chess, he suddenly felt bored, so he said to Ma Hong: "Ma Laosan, do you dare to play Go with me?" ”

After Pang Tong finished speaking, he saw that Ma Hong didn't react, so he took a closer look, but found that Ma Hong was already asleep. Pang Tong smiled bitterly, since a year ago, Ma Hong began to find all kinds of excuses not to play Go with him, and even improved Xiangqi in order to avoid playing Go with him. In Pang Tong's view, Ma Hong should have improved Xiangqi because he knew that his skills in playing Go were not as good as his, and he always thought so.

Xu Shu saw that Ma Hong was already asleep, so he lowered his voice and said to Liu Ye: "Senior Brother Ziyang, why don't we bring this chess to my room to study, Senior Brother Ma is really tired." ”

Liu Ye smiled and nodded, packed up the chess pieces with Xu Shu, said hello to Pang Tong, signaled Pang Tong to wake up Ma Hong, and left lightly. After Pang Tong waited for Xu and Liu to leave, he stretched out his finger and wiped it on his bare feet, then put his fingers in front of his nose and sniffed it gently, and then pouted and stretched his bare feet to Ma Hong's nose. Ma Hong suddenly smelled a peculiar smell in his sleep, opened his eyes and saw the barefoot girl in front of him, and almost couldn't help biting it.

Pang Tong saw that Ma Hong was awakened by his stench, and laughed and went back to his room to rest. Ma Hong shook his head helplessly, took off his shoes, closed the door, fell asleep on the bed, he was too tired.

Time has smoothed out the stone, leaving traces on the stone tablet, and Ma Hong has devoted himself to learning Liutao after returning to Shuijing Villa, and three months have passed in a blink of an eye. In these three months, Ma Hong studied the art of war during the day, and discussed chess skills with his brothers in the evening, and talked about the general trend of the world together. Sometimes the brothers and sisters would go to the pond to fish, and after the fish were caught, they would sit in a group, and Ma Hong would grill the fish for everyone. Ma Hong also asked Ma San to bring him an iron pot made by Ma Hong from home, and Ma Hong would stir-fry some dishes for the brothers. Because in this era, cooking is mostly based on steaming, ordinary people rarely eat fried dishes, although Ma Hong's stir-fry skills are not superb, but it is not bad, Ma Hong has the ability to cook with one hand, speaking of which is thanks to Ma Hong's mother, (the mother of the previous life, in this life called his mother mother) because Ma Hong's mother is very lazy, she taught Ma Hong to cook when Ma Hong was very young, and taught Ma Hong to be a child who makes a good dish.

In the past three months, Ma Hong has not only learned that Mr. Shui Jing is a teacher who writes bad words, but also a gluttonous old man. Since Mr. Shui Jing knew about Ma Hong's fried dishes, every time he had a meal, he came over to eat rice. Over time, everyone didn't go to the canteen to eat, and the old man who cooked in the canteen was a lot more leisurely. Every time Ma Hong cooks, he will stir-fry a dish for him alone, because Mr. Shuijing's taste is too strong, and every time he eats a dish, he adds three times more salt than others. Not only that, Mr. Shui Jing's concept of food has refreshed everyone's knowledge, Mr. Shui Jing likes to eat with crepes and ice cubes; I like to eat it with salt in a crepe; I like to use Bo cakes to eat fried charred scorpions and bees......

All in all, Mr. Shui Jing always eats something strange with a pancake every time he eats, obviously he is already in his fifties, and his taste has not become lighter, but heavier.

In the past three months, the brothers and sisters have gotten to know each other better, and they have all gained a new understanding of the teacher. They all got an answer, as long as they were fed to the teacher, the teacher would not only teach them their homework well, but also treat them better. So when they finish their homework, they will go up the mountain to catch some strange things and come back to let the teacher identify whether they can eat it, in just three months, Ma Hong has fried countless insects, such as snails, earthworms, ants, Zhili, cockroaches, crickets, butterflies, locusts, grasshoppers, lake flies, spiders, praying mantis......

Once, Pang Tong was too lazy to catch insects, so he caught ten flies and ran to ask Mr. Shui Jing if he could eat them. Mr. Shuijing was appreciating the jade, he stared at Pang Tong for a long time before he said, "I can eat it, but I don't have a good appetite today, you can eat it all!" Otherwise, I'll let you grind three hundred more stones. ”

That time, Pang Tong swallowed ten fried flies, and from then on he never dared to catch insects indiscriminately.
