Yu Qingze brought Brother Le to cook another large table of hearty dishes. In the kitchen, he also saw a new cook. Fu Bo said that this is the cook of Cai Mansion in Yunzhou, and Cai Chenxi specially brought it from Yunzhou to study. of.
During the meal, Cai Yunwei and Chang Hao finally arrived late. The two of them had been playing all morning, and they were all sweaty. They just came over after a little wash, and their faces were still red.
"Xiao Hao, what did you play with the second young master? How did you play with sweating? The second young master is not yet healthy, so you can't play too crazy, you know?" Yu Qingze asked Chang Hao. Chang Hao is physically strong. He is afraid that Cai Yunwei is weak, so he won't play too much and get sick again.
Chang Hao glanced at Cai Yunwei, nodded and replied, "I know Big Brother Yu, we are just catching crickets in the back garden."
Cai Yunwei also said, "Brother Yu, it's alright, I'm much better now."
Grandpa Cai also smiled and said, "It's okay, let them play. Usually no one plays with Wei'er. He's so bored."
Cai Chenxi also said: "Yes, Wei'er should be more active, and physical strength also needs to be trained."
Old man Cai comforted: "Yeah, Xiaohao, don't listen to your big brother Yu, Wei'er knows her body and he will tell if he is uncomfortable. Don't worry, Xiaoyu, Wei'er has gotten a lot better, since his appetite changed. Well, his spirit is getting stronger day by day, so it's fine for him to play."
After hearing a few people say this, Yu Qingze was relieved and asked, "What kind of activities does the second young master usually do at home?"
Cai Yunwei replied, "Just read, write, and take a walk."
Yu Qingze thought for a while, and said, "I know a thing that can be entertained and exercise. It can be played by one person or a group of people. It can be used as an entertainment activity for you to exercise."
"Oh? What is it?"
"Brother Yu, what is it?"
Cai Yunwei and Chang Hao asked in unison. Several other people also looked at Yu Qingze curiously.
Yu Qingze smiled and said, "It's a shuttlecock. If you are interested, I will teach you when you get up for your lunch break, and you have to do some preparations."
"Okay!" The two teenagers said in unison.
Old man Cai said with a smile: "Okay, let's eat first, the dishes will be cold later."
"Yes, yes, eat first! I can't wait!" Cai Chenxi immediately agreed.
Everyone came to the table and had a delicious and delicious lunch.
Cai Chenxi finally ate delicious food and said with emotion, "I now envy Brother Le and Xiao Hao, they can eat such delicious food every day."
Chang Le pursed his lips and smiled, feeling very happy in his heart, as if he was complimenting himself.
Chang Hao also smiled and replied: "Eldest young master, Uncle Fu and the others have learned it. You and we eat almost the same. Now Big Brother Yu rarely cooks by himself at home, so I gave my brother the opportunity to learn how to cook."
"Oh? Really?" Cai Chenxi asked.
"Yes, Brother Yu is the commander. He only uses his mouth to make it, and it's my brother who does it." Chang Hao nodded and replied, and then he didn't forget to praise his brother: "But my brother's cooking is delicious too!"
Everyone laughed when they heard it.
Satisfied after lunch, Yu Qingze brought Mi Geer and asked him to bring a needle and thread, and then he borrowed tools and some small pieces of wood from the woodworker in the house, and then he went to the kitchen to find the rooster tail feathers that were plucked in the morning.
Chang Hao and Cai Yunwei were curious and wanted to follow, but were driven back by Yu Qingze's words.
"When you do this, you should go for a lunch break, otherwise you won't have the energy to play in the afternoon."
The two teenagers obediently took their lunch break. Otherwise, with Cai Yunwei's current physical strength, he might not have the energy to continue playing without a lunch break in the afternoon.
Grandpa Cai sat for a while when he was old, and also went to take a lunch break. Cai Chenxi took the exam for so many days, and she didn't have enough rest, so she went to rest.
So, Yu Qingze took Le Geer to pick out chicken feathers and wash them at the door of the kitchen, and saw Mi Geer bring the woodworker too.
Yu Qingze picked a thicker piece of wood and told the carpenter to make it into a circle the size of a copper coin, and make a small hole in it so that the bottom would not be penetrated. The master carpenter is skilled in his work, and it will be done quickly.
Then Yu Qingze inserted the chicken tail feathers, three tail feathers in three directions, and then used the finely chopped tail feathers to tie them tightly to prevent the chicken feathers from falling off. A simple shuttlecock was done.
He tried to kick a few times, adjusted the direction of the chicken feathers, and then said to Le Geer and Mi Geer, "Look at it, just kick like this."
With that said, Yu Qingze kicked up skillfully. He was good at kicking the shuttlecock. One moment he kicked it very high, and the other moment he kicked a flower. He alternated his left foot with his right foot.
Le Ge'er, Mi Ge'er: What a great look!
"I'll come, I'll try." Mi Geer was eager to try.
Yu Qingze taught him some basic postures, while Mi Geer learned it.
Over there, Yu Qingze asked the master carpenter to continue to make small pieces of wood, and he could make a few more shuttlecocks, which would be good at that time. It's a pity that the tail feathers of the roosters are not enough, only two better ones are made, and the other chicken feathers are not long enough, and they are not so good for kicking. Mi Geer asked people to go to the vegetable market to find the tail feathers of the rooster, and then he made five or six shuttlecocks.
The method of directly inserting the chicken feathers, the chicken feathers are easy to kick out. Later, Mi Ge'er and Le Ge'er wrapped the whole board with cloth, and sewed the lower interface part to fix it, so that the hair was not easy to escape.
By the time Cai Yunwei and Chang Hao took a nap, Mi Ge'er and Le Ge'er could play several times in a row.
Cai Yunwei and Chang Hao were very interested, and they practiced, but unfortunately they couldn't kick the shuttlecock at first, and they made a lot of jokes.
In the afternoon, the entire Cai Mansion was immersed in the shuttlecock kicking activities. Even the old lady and husband of Cai watched the game with great interest, and sometimes even ended up kicking.
Yu Qingze also taught them how to play, two-player play, a group of people playing together, a rope in the middle divided into two camps, and, when the legs are tired, they can also use two wooden boards to catch the ball. 'Badminton' style of play.
He also specially asked the carpenter to make two long wooden rackets, wrapping the handle position with cloth, and showed them how to play.
Since then, shuttlecock kicking has become a new form of entertainment in Cai Mansion, not only entertainment, but also made Cai Yunwei and Mr. Cai both physically and mentally better.
Then, through Cai Mansion, the activity of kicking shuttlecock quietly became popular among some big families in Tongshan City, and then slowly spread to the common people, becoming a popular entertainment and fitness activity, which will be discussed later.
In the evening, Yu Qingze and the others went home happily, and the three of them also kicked shuttlecock all afternoon. Although they were a little tired, they were still a little excited, talking and laughing all the way to the house.
When they reached the middle of West Street, they suddenly found a group of people in front of a medical hall, not knowing what happened.
They looked over curiously.
I saw a 12- or 13-year-old boy in front of him kneeling at the entrance of the hospital, holding the leg of a 50- or 60-year-old grandfather, crying and calling for a doctor to see him.
"Doctor, I beg you, doctor, go and show me, I have money, look, I have made money!" The young man said, hugging the doctor's leg tightly with one hand, leaving a space With one hand, he took out a small cloth bag from his arms and opened it. There might be a dozen or twenty pennies in it. He held it up and handed it to the doctor to give it to him.
The doctor sighed and said, "You child, I told you, your sick old man is helpless. If his illness can't be cured, it is useless to go. He may only have one or two days. Now, you, why don't you go back and watch him well, ah, let's see if he still has any wishes, and help him realize it."
The young man didn't know if he understood the doctor's words or not, so he only cried: "Doctor, go and see, please, I beg you. I kowtow to you, I kowtow to you..."
As he spoke, the young man kowtowed, his head slammed on the ground, thumping loudly, and after a while, his forehead turned red.
"Oh, you kid, get up, you... don't knock." The doctor hurriedly bent over to pull him.
Someone next to him couldn't bear to see it, and said, "Doctor, you can go and see with him, this child is pitiful, his forehead is red."
The doctor sighed and said, "Hey, it's useless to go, the medicine stone has no doctor, it's just a matter of a day or two, why don't you take the money to prepare him for the funeral."
When everyone heard this, they all shook their heads and sighed.
When Chang Hao saw it, he hugged his brother tightly, and hugged his brother's arm. Chang Le reached out and patted his brother, and put his hand around his shoulder.
Yu Qingze noticed the movements of the two brothers, and also reached out and hugged Chang Le's shoulders to comfort him.
In the end, the doctor had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, child, I'll go take a look with you."
When the boy who was still kowtowing on the ground heard this, he immediately got up, wiped his tears, and took the doctor's hand to leave.
"Hey, wait, I'll take the medicine box." The doctor went into the hospital and took the medicine box, then followed the boy away.
The crowd gradually dispersed.
The three slowly walked towards the gate of the city, the excitement they had before dissipated, and they were still thinking about what they had just seen.
The world is impermanent, birth, old age, sickness and death cannot be stopped, and it can only be cherished before death.
Early the next morning, they set up a stall. The housekeeper of Zhao's house came over and told them that the master had agreed to Yu Qingze's offer and asked them to do it well.
Several people are very happy, this is another big list. Yu Qingze was already thinking about how to arrange the future.
Not long after, Chang Le came out carrying the water and saw a person standing not far from the stall, staring at their stall, but he couldn't come.
Chang Le took a closer look, wasn't this the boy he saw at the entrance of the hospital last night
He walked up to the boy and asked him if he wanted to buy something
The teenager seemed to be taken aback, and he couldn't understand Chang Le's gestures, so he turned and ran away.
Chang Le: …
He sighed and went back to continue his work, but he kept it in mind and glanced over there from time to time. He always felt that the boy might not have gone far, and he would still come.
Sure enough, not long after, he saw the boy looking at their food stall again, with one hand in his pocket, as if hesitating.
Chang Le put down the bowl in his hand, wiped his hands, walked to Yu Qingze's side, and gestured to him about the situation.
Yu Qingze understood, looked over there, and sure enough, he saw the boy.
He beckoned to the young man, and the young man seemed to have finally made up his mind and walked to the food stall.
Yu Qingze asked softly, "Do you want to buy anything to eat?"
The teenager glanced at their stall. There were cold noodles and cold skins on it, and another snack car had Guandong cooking. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up at Yu Qingze and said, "Boss, me, I want to buy a bowl of this."
The teenager pointed to Liang Pi Road.
Yu Qingze nodded and said, "Yes, you can wait." Yu Qingze was about to go to the cold skin.
"Wait, boss." The young man stopped Yu Qingze again, and embarrassedly stretched out his hand and took out three cents of money, and said, "I, I only have three cents of money, you can just give me the amount of three cents of money."
Yu Qingze nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay." After speaking, he still placed the usual amount of five cents. If he placed too much money, he was afraid that the young man would be embarrassed.
The teenager looked at the Liangpi boiled in hot water, and blushed again and said to Yu Qingze, "Boss, that, can I take it home to eat? I forgot to take the bowl, but, this afternoon, at the latest Tomorrow morning, the bowl will be delivered to you, I promise."
As he said that, the boy raised his right hand and raised three fingers in an oath.
Yu Qingze nodded and said, "Yes."
"Really?"
"right."
"Thank you boss." Hearing Yu Qingze's agreement, the young man smiled and watched Yu Qingze make Liangpi with anticipation.
A bowl of Liangpi is ready, and the boy gave three cents of money, happily holding it and leaving.
At this time, Yu Qingze, the youngest man selling tea eggs next to the food stall, stopped the young man.
"Jiabao, come here, have you eaten?"
The young man named Jiabao carefully held the cold skin and replied, "Young Master Huang, I haven't eaten it yet."
"Here, these two tea eggs are for you. Eat them." The youngest took two tea eggs from the pot and gave them to the young man.
Tears flashed in the boy's eyes, he took it and thanked him, "Thank you, youngest."
"Good boy, let's go."
The young man put the tea eggs in his pocket and walked away with the cold skin carefully.
