Chapter 14 Substitution
The key to tug-of-war is not the size of the force, but the friction between the people on both sides of the ground, so the side with more fat people will have a greater chance of winning, not because they have more strength, but because they weigh more and have more friction with the ground.
Chen Qiang naturally knows this truth, but the little fat dun king Changshou obviously doesn't know.
So Chen Qiang said: "The team of tug-of-war should be sorted not according to the strength of the team, but according to the weight, from the end of the rope to the front, so as to arrange from heavy to light, it is best to have a greater strength in the front and a larger weight in the back." I think with your weight, you should be at the bottom of the list. ”
"I see." Wang Changshou didn't ask why, but nodded convincingly.
Chen Qiang thinks that Wang Changshou should not have understood the principle of friction, this guy is what others say, he believes what he says, and the typical meat is brainless.
Then I saw Wang Changshou and then asked, "What else?" In addition to team sorting, what other tricks do you have for tug-of-war? ”
"There are many tricks, such as posture, all people try to lean back, half squat, horse step, press the center of gravity back, the center of gravity should be lowered as much as possible, simply put, the abdomen or hips are pushed out, and the eyes look at the sky. Hold the rope with both hands palms up, the rope should pass under the armpits, the toes must be before the knees, and the whole body should be stretched and straightened before the tug-of-war is ordered. ”
"When holding the rope, pay attention to the right-handed right hand in the back, the left hand in the back, so that it is convenient to exert force, shout the trumpet when you have a rhythm, shout 1 to be steady, shout 2 hard, the rhythm in front is slower, and the rhythm in the back is faster. Do not wear shoes with flat soles. In addition, the last person, be sure to press the center of gravity to the lowest, the lower the center of gravity, the less easy the rope to be pulled away......"
Chen Qiang said several times in a row, for a professor at a sports university, it is not easy to teach a rookie how to tug-of-war.
Wang Changshou, a scumbag, obviously didn't know that there were so many skills in tug-of-war, he was stunned when he heard it, and finally simply took a note and wrote it down.
Wang Changshou wrote them all down, and then he realized that the newsboy on the other side knew more than himself.
"You're such a good newspaper seller, you know so much!" Wang Changshou said.
"I used to go to school, but unfortunately my family suffered a military disaster, and all my relatives died, so if I want to survive, I can only sell newspapers." Chen Qiang said.
"So you're so pathetic!" Wang Changshou said that he took out a few cents from his pocket and stuffed them all into Chen Qiang's hand.
"I brought so much money with me, and I gave it to you."
At this time, the coachman of the Wang family also came and picked up Wang Changshou.
Looking at the back of Wang Changshou leaving, Chen Qiang let out a long sigh.
"This dead fat house, although it doesn't look good, but people are still very kind. I don't think I should continue to sell his Fengyue tabloids, isn't this a bit lacking in morality! The flowers of the motherland have been poisoned by me......"
But in the next second, Chen Qiang immediately shook his head.
"This king has a long life, he can't study well, and he can't become a literary master with or without this tabloid. Instead, I'm counting on selling this job! Regardless of whether he lacks virtue or not, in this world, let's try to live first! ”
……
In the next few days, Chen Qiang did not come to the entrance of Fudan High School to sell newspapers, but went to several other private schools and church schools.
Wool can't be clinging to a sheep, and you can't always find this school when selling newspapers.
Those who can go to private schools are rich people, and those who can go to church schools are even richer. In old Shanghai, foreigner-like church schools charged much higher fees than Chinese private schools.
For example, the famous St. John's University has a tuition fee of more than 200 yuan, and the tuition fee of Yenching University and Fu Jen University is also 1670 yuan.
In comparison, the annual cost of private Fudan University and Nankai University is 100 oceans.
National universities are the cheapest, the tuition fees of Peking University and Tsinghua University are about 20 yuan, and the cheapest is the normal university, which can go to school for 15 yuan for a year, and the accommodation fee is free.
The tuition fee in high school is lower than that in college, but only the children of rich families can go to school, and it is not a problem for them to spend four cents to buy 10 newspapers.
About a week later, when the new Fengyue tabloid came out, Chen Qiang came to the gate of Fudan High School again.
"Hey, newspaper seller, I've been looking for you for days!" Wang Changshouxing hurriedly walked over and took the initiative to greet Chen Qiang.
"Young Master, is your arm okay?" Chen Qiang asked.
"Alright, it's been done for a long time!" Wang Changshou continued: "The methods you said are really effective, our class has used your methods compared to other classes, and basically we haven't lost much!" ”
Chen Qiang smiled, he is a well-known professor at a sports university, if he can't even do the most basic tug-of-war, he just buys a piece of tofu and dies.
Chen Qiang came to sell newspapers, he didn't plan to talk nonsense with Wang Changshou, he directly took out a stack of newspapers and handed them to Wang Changshou: "Young master, this is a new product, which has not been sold before." ”
"There's no rush for this, I have another thing I want to ask you for help with." Wang Changshou said.
"You are the young master, I am a newsboy, what can I do to help you." Chen Qiang said as he peeked at Wang Changshou's expression, wanting to find some useful information from it.
I saw Wang Changshou open his mouth and said: "Our school is going to hold a sports meeting, so our class has been practicing tug-of-war in the past few days, just to compete with other classes at the sports meeting." But last weekend, there was some accident, and one of our classmates accidentally broke his leg while riding a horse at a foreigner's horse farm, so now there is one less person in the tug-of-war competition. ”
"You don't want me to replace that injured classmate, do you?" Chen Qiang immediately asked.
"You guessed it." Wang Changshou nodded seriously, and then said: "If you can teach me how to tug-of-war, you will definitely be able to tug-of-war, so I want you to participate in the tug-of-war competition of the sports meeting with our class." ”
Chen Qiang shook his head: "This is not appropriate, after all, I am just a newsboy, not a student of your school." ”
Wang Changshou asked another question: "How old are you?" ”
"Sixteen." Chen Qiang reported that he was a fictitious year, and he would not be 16 until next spring.
However, people in these years are accustomed to saying that they are imaginary, some are imaginary one year old, some are imaginary two years old, and the habits are different in different places.
"Haha, you're about the same age as us, let's find a peer to replace us, and it should be no problem to temporarily replace us in the competition." Wang Changshou said.
The age of middle school in the early Republic of China is not so uniform, and there may be a difference of four or five years in the same grade, and it is normal to repeat and skip grades.
At that time, the first to fourth grades of elementary school were called "junior elementary schools", and the fifth and sixth grades were called "high elementary schools", and some people who went to school late or had stupid brains could not graduate until they were fifteen or sixteen years old, and such people were at least eighteen years old when they read high school.
For example, Mr. Li Siguang, a scientist, did not begin to study "high school" until he was 14 years old because he studied in a private school in his early years, and according to the current nine-year compulsory education, he only entered the fifth grade of primary school at the age of 14. However, after all, a cow is a cow, although Mr. Li Siguang only started to study "high school" at the age of fourteen, but he got the official funds at the age of sixteen and went to Japan to study. That is, in just two years, he went from the fourth grade of primary school to study abroad at public expense.
And some smart scholars, or people who went to school early, went to college at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and they still went to famous universities, such as Mr. Qian Sanqiang, the founder of "Two Bombs and One Star", who entered Peking University at the age of sixteen.
So on the high school campus of that era, you could see thirteen or fourteen-year-old kids, and you could see twenty-year-old big brothers.
At Chen Qiang's age, he changed into a student outfit, just like a real high school student.
Straight to the point.
Chen Qiang pointed to the patched clothes on his body, and then said: "Look, I'm a tattered newsboy, and with my dress, I can't even enter the gate of your school, let alone participate in your sports meeting!" ”
"This is easy to do, I'll find you some clothes." Wang Changshou patted his chest and said very angrily: "Anyway, on the day of the sports meeting, we all wore vests and shorts, and I will give you a set!" ”
Clothes are relatively expensive for the poor, and in the slums of Zhabei there are many people who do not cover their bodies, and it is common for families to wear a set of clothes in remote villages. But for someone who can afford to go to a private school, a set of tank top shorts isn't worth a few bucks.
Chen Qiang shook his head again: "It's still not good, you can't wear flat shoes in tug-of-war, look at me, I don't have shoes!" I walk the streets and alleys selling newspapers every day, and the soles of these shoes are almost worn out, flatter than flat shoes. ”
Chen Qiang was wearing a pair of rag shoes, all of which were exposed, fortunately it was not winter, otherwise there would definitely be frostbite on his feet.
"It's okay, I'll get you a pair of rubber-soled shoes!" Wang Changshou said without hesitation.
In this era, rubber-soled shoes are also considered a rarity, even more scarce than leather shoes. Because there was basically no rubber industry in China at that time, it was naturally impossible to make rubber-soled shoes. And rubber is an important strategic resource, not only in China, but in many places, the price of rubber shoes is more expensive than leather shoes.
Rubber trees were only introduced to China in 1904 and planted in 1906. In the twenties, one of China's largest rubber plantations was in Taiwan, controlled by Japanese colonists. After the liberation, China's rubber industry flourished, and China was able to produce its own rubber-soled shoes, and the old liberation shoes were worn for 50 years as the main shoes of the army.
With clothes and shoes, Chen Qiang shook his head again.
"No, young master, I'm a newsboy, if I don't sell newspapers for a day, I won't have anything to eat for a day." Chen Qiang pointed to the broken backpack on his body that put newspapers.
"I forgot about that." Wang Changshou thought for a few seconds, and then said: "I'll go back and discuss with my classmates, and make up two yuan for you, which can be regarded as asking for your salary, so it's okay!" ”
