Chapter 398: Recreation
When they heard that the mirror was going to be transferred to the "clothing store", both Hong'er and Ling'er were a little disappointed, because the store was estimated to be open again for several months, which did not mean that they would not be able to see it again in the past few months.
Huang Shi didn't know what they were doing for a while, and then frowned, so he continued, "By the way, I still have a few sides here, and in the future, in addition to installing two sides in the clothing store, we will also install them in the barber shop, supermarket, and our office building." ”
In modern society, large mirrors are installed in many public places, such as the wall of the washbasin in the bathroom, the three sides of the elevator room, the entrance and exit of the supermarket, and so on. This is because the mirror can make people's visual space larger, so as not to cause people to feel depressed, and at the same time, with a mirror, it is also convenient for people to organize their personal appearance, and the mirror embedded in the wall is also easier to clean and clean.
However, these things that Huangshi is commonplace in modern society, in this era 500 years ago, it is greatly beyond their imagination, so when he came out of the warehouse, every woman who took the clothes and went inside to change their clothes also made an exclamation like Hong'er just now, obviously they were shocked by the "dressing mirror" that was taller than a person on seven or eight sides and could shine people from head to toe.
The shouting and screaming from inside the warehouse also made everyone lining up outside, including An Ruyi, who was distributing clothes according to the list, a little itchy, because they could hear the screams inside, it was clear that the chief had taken out something good, which made them so "crazy", if it weren't for the chief standing in front of them, it is estimated that they would have rushed in a swarm.
……
This incident in the warehouse during the "distribution of clothes" was only a small episode in the many earth-shaking things on the island in the past two weeks, and it soon returned to normal, and everyone returned to "turning a blind eye" from ecstasy, amazement, and admiration.
Therefore, on this day, after Xiao Baitu, Jiang Zhigao, and Qi Deng entered the supermarket, they saw the big mirror at its entrance and exit passage, but they had been in the barracks for several months, and they would no longer make a fuss and shout like ordinary people. But even if the nerves are big, when I see such a "treasure", I am secretly amazed in my heart.
"Well, let's go there." Jiang Zhigao was very curious about the big mirror, so he thought about going over there, and now there were only three or two very small children in front of the mirror making faces in front of the mirror.
"Let's buy something first." Although Xiao Baitu was also a little curious, he didn't want to go over there now, because the mirror was opposite the two little girls, just now he just saw their grace and curves, some of them had dry mouths, and some of them had weak hearts, and he thought that it was better to wait for the things to be bought and take care of his appearance before leaving.
"Okay." Jiang Zhigao saw that Xiao Baitu disagreed, and he was embarrassed to go to "stinky beauty" alone.
Although Zidden didn't speak, his eyes were on the shelves in the store, obviously shocked by the dazzling array of goods on the shelves.
"Xiao Qi, what are you going to buy?" Xiao Baitu pulled Qi Deng.
"Yesterday, Ah Guo in our class, he bought a bottle of 'grape juice', I heard that it is very delicious, I want to buy a bottle and try it." Qi Deng remembered that when Ah Guo drank yesterday, he looked a little delicious, which couldn't help but be a little tongue-in-cheek.
"What about you?" Xiao Baitu turned his head and asked Jiang Zhigao again.
"I'm going to buy a deck of 'checkers.'" It turned out that although Huangshi set up several recreation rooms in the barracks, he did not organize the "three balls", so the soldiers resting in the barracks could only play chess and cards in various recreation rooms except for going to the stadium to exercise by themselves.
Because there are no three wonderful sports such as the "three balls", which attract a large number of players and spectators, most people can only play these flag-jumping, chess, backgammon, beast chess, and military chess. There is also "playing cards", "playing cards" have a lot of ways to play, there are solitaire, 40 points, 80 points, etc., the fighters are surprised that Huang Chief can play so many tricks, and after Hu Chief came, he added several ways to play to the "playing cards", like fighting landlords, 510K, etc.
However, there are many monks and few porridges, three entertainment rooms, and 12 tables really can't make all the fighters play, so many fighters can only stand aside, as a gentleman who watches chess and is silent or a husband who watches people play cards.
As for whether they can wait for their turn, this is also very difficult, because they are all at the same level, and they have only learned these games for two or three months, and they have not said that anyone has a special talent and can give the opponent to the general in three moves and two moves, so they can only play slow chess there, and often when the lights are blown out, they may not finish a game of chess, and the others will wait in vain.
Originally, there was no way, these chess and cards were brought back by the chief from the upper realm, and they didn't dare to ask the chief, so everyone could only take turns to set the shift, today you play, tomorrow I play, the day after tomorrow he plays, to be scheduled once, to a few days later.
However, Ah Jing, who came here early yesterday morning, brought back a good news, the "supply and marketing cooperatives" actually sell these chess and "playing cards", in addition to the "Go" used to play "backgammon" is more expensive, other things like "chess", "beast chess" and so on are very cheap, and those "playing cards" with various patterns are even cheaper, and the money of one box of "chess" can buy ten boxes of "playing cards".
"Oh, you're going to buy 'chess' too." Xiao Baitu muttered, it seems that after the others came back yesterday, the dormitories have been discussed, and everyone buys a chess game, so that they can be exchanged and played in the dormitory in the future.
"Are you too?"
Xiao Baitu nodded, and said after answering the "um", "Yesterday, Xiao Er bought a deputy 'military chess' and went back, so everyone asked me to buy 'chess'." ”
"Oh, 'military chess' is not fun, it is better to play 'backgammon'." Jiang Zhigao replied.
In modern times, there are many types of chess, but there are no authoritative statistics, Huang Shi has read an article that says there are as many as 188 types, which is probably a very conservative number. Common or mainstream chess games include Chinese chess, chess, Go, military chess, checkers, and backgammon, which is popular on the Internet. As for the types of folk miscellaneous chess, there are innumerable, such as toilet chess, foot area chess, gyratory chess, anti-strategy chess, tiger chess and so on.
Huangshi naturally did not bring those folk chess to the barracks, it was the kind of "Three Kingdoms Monopoly" treasure hunt style chess game, although it was very simple, but he did not bring it to the barracks, he got five kinds of barracks recreation room, Chinese chess, backgammon, beast chess, checkers, and military chess.
Originally, he also wanted to take chess to the barracks for them to play, but then he thought about it, it and Chinese chess are both called Xiangqi, and the names of the chess pieces are the same, they are all "Xiang", "Army", "Horse", "Pawn", etc., so that the beginner chess fighters are confused, it will be interesting, so it is simply not introduced.
……
For the fighters, these chess games are so fun, whether it is a seemingly simple "beast chess" or a seemingly complicated "five-in-a-row chess", they can devote themselves to it and have a lot of fun, and they feel that it would be great if they could find someone to kill a game every day.
The only exception is the "Military Chess", which the chief used to call "Four Nations Military Chess", because it can be played by two people in two countries, or four people in four countries.
In a four-player game, four players occupy four corners on the board, divided into two sides, and the two opposing alliances fight against the other two, cooperating with each other. In a two-player game, they occupy the upper and lower corners of the board and fight against each other.
Different from other types of chess, when Chief Huang first introduced the gameplay of this "military chess", he said that this kind of military chess was born from the combat practice of the army in the upper realm.
In fact, to be more precise, it is called "combat simulation", that is, when fighting a war, the war commander often uses some kind of mark to show the troop deployment of the two belligerents on the original map, and then reacts to the enemy's possible actions and represents the possible course of the war, so that they can choose the most beneficial action for their own side in the actual war to achieve the goal of the war.
This kind of "combat simulation" is available in various countries, and the content is much the same, a diagram that imitates the real situation, and then a few chess pieces represent the strength of the troops, and then analyze what you will do, and what I will do. Huang Shi also learned the game of Mozi and Gong Losing in middle school, which is actually the case.
What Huangshi handed them was a kind of game that put the characters on the chess face down, called flip chess. Then they were introduced that there are 25 chess pieces on each side of the military chess, one for the military flag, one for the commander, and one for the commander; two division commanders, brigade commanders, regiment commanders, battalion commanders, and bombs; Three company commanders, platoon commanders, engineers, and mines.
Then he introduced the rules of eating children, such as the commander > army commander> division commander> brigade commander> regiment commander> battalion commander> company commander> platoon commander> engineers. Sappers can clear mines, but other pawns cannot clear mines; The bomb will die when it encounters any piece.
