Chapter 578: Chopsticks Divine Skill
On this day, Tao Ziyun returned to the order of things, and saw that on a loquat tree in the yard, there were two birds that were almost black, pecking insects among the branches to eat, and he knew that it was Han Yan who had come.
The two birds on the tree are Han Yan's starling and crow, and the loquat fruits on the tree have become ripe yellow, Tao Ziyun picked a few loquat fruits, and shouted while eating: "Han Yan, where are you?"
Someone came out of the kitchen, but it was not only Han Yan who came out, but also Tang Ba on Zhao Jinlong's cottage.
"Tao Gongzi, you're finally back. Han Yan and Tang Ba greeted Tao Ziyun in unison.
Tao Ziyun guessed and said to Han Yan: "The tile embryo you made is going to be put into the tile kiln for final firing, right?"
"Hehe, Tao Gongzi still understands me, I'm here to ask everyone to come over and help. Han Yan confirmed with a little embarrassment.
"You, I'm just busy with you, it's not this matter, you usually don't come to the door, can I not guess?" Tao Ziyun replied to Han Yan calmly, and then turned to Tang Ba and said, "Han Yan's matter, I can guess, I can't guess what you are here." ā
Han Yan, who said that he was very good, hurriedly helped Tang Ba and replied: "When the Bailuo Goddess got married and her daughter held a banquet for the Three Dynasties, we went to be a guest and saw all kinds of bamboo products made by Tang Ba, and I felt that Tang Ba's craftsmanship was really good. Some time ago, I was making tiles there as usual, and my mother was drying pine leaves by the pine forest where I was making tiles, and met Tang Si, who was carrying the burden of goods, because the firewood and dung baskets used by my mother were very damaged, so I asked Tang Si to tell his younger brother Tang Ba, saying that he wanted to buy some firewood, baskets, and dung baskets from Tang Ba. Today, he rode a donkey and brought those things to my house, because I had to ask the people here to help me set up the kiln, so I asked him to come with me. He came with him on a donkey, and his donkey was in the stable, and my starlings and crows were in the loquat tree. ā
"Oh, it's good to be here, and everyone will help you install the kiln. Tao Ziyun responded calmly and continued to greet them: "Let's go and sit in the kitchen, it's almost time to make dinner, this time, I'll make dinner myself." ā
"Brother, wait a minute. "This time. Tao Ansai walked out of the academy and handed him three letters: "These are a few letters sent to you by the Wind Commander one after another. ā
"Okay, you can go ahead and go to the lecture, and I'll make dinner. When Tao Ziyun took the letter and read it, it was all unsealed, obviously because her sister had already read the content of the letter. When he saw that his sister did not mention anything urgent, he did not rush to read the letter, but calmly walked to the kitchen.
"Tang Ba, I have a question in mind. Tao Ziyun said to Tang Ba, who was following behind: "I think." I am your king's sworn brother, and I am here to supervise the imperial history, and I want to write a memo to the emperor and report your affairs. And we will arrange with local officials to negotiate with you again to see if we can recruit all the people of the cottage as officers and soldiers? The officers and soldiers will find excuses to attack you. ā
"Master Tao, don't do this!" Unexpectedly, Tang Ba immediately resolutely objected, he explained: "The leader of our cottage has discussed this issue many times. Everyone thinks that the relationship between our rebel army and the government has reached a dead end, and there is no need to bother with the matter of recruiting security, the government will not tolerate us, if we are recruited, there will be no good life. ā
Tao Ziyun heard this, and couldn't help sighing: "Alas, how can this be?"
Tang Ba continued to explain: "We must learn the lessons of history! In addition, if you let the emperor know that our king is your sworn brother, I am afraid that it will not be good for your future! Don't meddle in the affairs of our cottage, if you can survive in the government in peace, you can do something for the people in the government. We build a paradise in the cottage, which is another kind of happy life!"
Tao Ziyun put the letter on the dining table, took out the beans and the dong flute, and conjured a group of bean soldiers, and asked the bean soldiers to cook dinner with him, and Han Yan and Tang Ba also did not hesitate to be helpers.
The people in the order had all come into the kitchen for dinner, and Tao Ziyun didn't have time to read the contents of the three letters.
When Tass asked about the letters, Tao Ansai replied, "Those letters are nothing important, they are just the things that the Wind Commander wrote to my brother about their affairs on the way, and shared the joy of the westward journey with them." Among them, he said that he was often the supervisor of Shaanxi Province, and he was very thoughtful to them. ā
"That's fine! Leave them alone, if something happens to them on the way, they'll have to help them. As Tao Ziyun expected, Tao Ziyun smiled comfortably and beckoned everyone to have dinner with peace of mind.
Han Yan asked everyone to help install the kiln tomorrow, and everyone readily agreed, and there were many people going out to do errands, and everyone regarded it as a recreational activity.
Tang Ba chatted with everyone in the kitchen, and everyone was interested in the bamboo products he weaved, and they were even more curious about how he used chopsticks to make weapons.
Han Yan plucked up the courage to say to Tang Ba: "People who think of the order of things basically have a good kung fu, but I don't know any martial arts, and I feel ashamed when I think about it." Brother Tang, if you don't dislike it, I'll learn chopsticks kung fu from you, okay?"
Tang Ba was stern at this time, and he said bluntly to Han Yan: "It's okay for me to teach you, but I can't guarantee that I can teach you." ā
"Is it that difficult? Do you think I'm a stupid person?" Han Yan said, smirking to himself.
Tang Ba smiled calmly: "Chopsticks are used by everyone, and there are not a few who can't use them correctly." With chopsticks as a weapon, it is even more difficult. I have to start with the basics of using chopsticks, can it not be difficult?"
Han Yan understood a little in his heart, and he confirmed to Tang Ba: "The basic skill is the correct way to eat with chopsticks, you can see from my use of chopsticks to eat?"
Tang Ba replied firmly: "Yes, isn't it dinner now, when you say this, I will pay attention to it, so I can see it." ā
Tao Ziyun also interjected with interest: "This basic skill is interesting, Tang Ba, don't be verbose, start teaching, just let the children of the order of things learn it." Other difficult chopsticks are not required. ā
"Hurry up and teach, let everyone learn a little basic skills!" Tao Ansai coaxed on the other side.
Tao Ansai's mention yƬ attracted everyone's chorus.
"The index finger and middle finger clamp the upper chopsticks, the thumb holds, the middle finger and ring finger clamp the lower chopsticks, when the food is clamped, move the upper chopsticks, and the lower chopsticks support. This is the basic skill, everyone is optimistic, how many are not done correctly?" Tang Ba, who was sitting next to Tao Ziyun, taught Tao Ziyun's children, in fact, he was teaching all the people in the order of things, "Everyone remember, learn the basic skills, if you are interested, I will let you all learn the chopsticks magic skill." ā
"Needless to say, of course we want to learn the magic of chopsticks all of us! It will definitely be useful in the future!" many people responded to Tang Ba.
"Okay, I'll continue to teach you!" Tang Ba immediately rose in arrogance and taught everyone seriously. (To be continued......)
