Chapter 2817: The Ice Lanterns Shine and the Dumplings Are Fragrant
Li Longji, whom Tolic had not seen, had a sumptuous lunch with twenty dishes. He was envious because his king ate better than himself.
The meal is not over until half past two in the afternoon.
A group of people who were supposed to have a rest were very excited. Then they saw something good. For the first time in their lives... ice.
The local climate doesn't snow at all, and they don't know how to make ice with saltpeter.
A group of people ran to watch the ice lanterns with the children. The igloo covers an area of 1,000 square meters and is still three meters high, with pillars in the middle.
It was just built last night and it took a long time to transport the ice.
Li Yi was inside, teaching the children to skate. The little girl was wearing a full set of equipment and could not move while standing on a small square with ice on the ground.
It was a weird feeling, like you couldn't find a point of leverage and could fall if you moved.
Li Yi first played a trick in front of the children. This time he was able to jump up and spin two and a half times. He couldn't stop making progress. He concentrated on practicing and could jump three times.
First, give the children an impression that they can do these actions while wearing skates, which is beautiful.
Next, let the children be able to skate first, otherwise they will shrink back and stop playing.
"Stand up! There is a chopstick-length distance between your feet, your knees are slightly bent, your arms are open, and your buttocks should not sit back.
Great! Now stamp your feet, lift one leg and lower it, the other leg, lower it.
not bad! Next step, when falling, tilt your left foot a little to the side, and then tilt your right foot a little, lift it up, drop it, and look, after a few times, we turn around and turn back..."
Li Yi taught seriously how to quickly get on the ice for children. Ten minutes is usually enough, and it is no problem for children as young as three years old.
Once the child can stomp his feet and turn around, it means that the child has found a point of leverage and balance.
The little girl met, five minutes, turned left and right, OK, took a step forward, bang, sat on the ground.
Li Yi used to put both hands under the little girl's armpits in front of her to support her, not behind her, otherwise the child's upper body would tilt backwards uncontrollably.
Now it is very difficult to teach children to get up on their own.
You need to kneel on the ice first, then lift one leg up and kneel on one knee. With which leg is raised, put your hands in the same direction on your thigh and stand up with all your strength, so that you can stand.
"Stand firm, like you did just now, with a chopstick width between your feet, point your toes to the left and right, good, the other leg follows like a circle, don't be afraid, come again, stand still..."
Li Yi continued to talk. After another five minutes, he stretched out his hand for the little girl to touch. The little girl couldn't touch him at all. He could only lean forward with his upper body, bend his knees, and adjust his feet outwards, adjusting back and forth so that the whole body slid forward.
After sliding a short distance away, Li Yi refused to retreat and asked the little girl to hold her hand, rest, and then come again.
This time it was less than ten minutes, and the total was less than twenty minutes. There was no need for anyone in front of the little girl. She could escape by herself, stop slowly, and turn to another direction.
The children of other nobles and priests asked the female guards to teach them the same steps.
A group of people came around. Li Yi saw it and pretended not to know.
King Tolic and others knew for the first time what ice looked like, and it was the effect of ice lanterns. They were completely shocked. Is ice so beautiful?
Seeing the little girl waiting for the children to skate, it suddenly struck me that this kind of ice can be skated on.
"How...how do you play this?" Tolic didn't know Li Yi, but he could tell that Li Yi was the fastest in teaching children.
"This... is not suitable for older people to play with." Li Yi replied.
"Oh! Can adults learn it?" Tolic asked.
"No, I'm afraid of touching the children. If the children touch each other with protective equipment, the adults will crush the children and break their bones. In some places, they will die if they break."
Li Yi knew who the other party was and refused, even if Li Longji came up, for fear of Li Longji playing tricks.
While the children could skate slowly, he would skate on the ice carefully, not daring to speed up, keeping his center of gravity low, ready to pick up any children who were rushing towards him and could not control the direction or braking.
"Ah!" Tolic regretted.
"When the children are not playing, if you are willing to learn, you can come over at night, when the children sleep."
Li Yi is easy to talk. After all, it’s an igloo built once. Who can skate or not?
People come all the way to surrender, no, come here and ask to be officials. This spirit deserves encouragement and reward.
"Thank you!" Tolic felt that he had gained face. He couldn't drive the child away and play by himself, right?
In the past, I could really do this, but now I can't. It's not my place.
He continued to walk around the maze and was given a stick of ice cream with a miniature figure. When he exited the maze, he was given a separate place to eat cold skewers.
Back at the pyramid, there were twenty dishes for dinner, which were different from the previous twenty dishes.
He couldn't tell what the nine-turn large intestine was, but it tasted delicious.
"We are both kings, but I can't compare to him in terms of eating."
Tolic was sad. He couldn't beat him, but he didn't eat as well as others.
He didn't know that he was overthinking it. You are a king of a local city-state in the Neolithic Age. How can you compete with Chinese cuisine?
Not to mention you, if it were the local president more than a thousand years later, he would not dare to say this.
Of course, more than a thousand years later, Chinese cuisine is often a trap outside, and they don’t even know how to cook home-cooked dishes, pretending to be authentic Sichuan cuisine.
Foreigners feel so uncomfortable after eating it! Said Chinese food is not delicious. UU reading www. uukanshu.net
After hearing this, people from Shandong ordered Mapo Tofu and vomited after just one bite. Even those from Shandong knew that you were lying.
They didn't go skating in the evening because they were tired.
The next morning, the meal was finally simple, a bowl of cornmeal porridge, two small steamed buns, and pickles. There were no more, and I couldn't feel full at all.
Someone came over and said that they had a good lunch, and they were afraid that they would not be able to eat at noon if they ate too much now.
At noon, they had a big screen, and then the whole city ate dumplings, waiting for them to come over before eating.
There were many kinds of stuffing, steamed, boiled, fried, and no other dishes except mixed cold dishes. No soup was given. There was water for boiling dumplings, and they drank this water.
The big screen switched back and forth, and the people happily picked up dumplings to eat.
Toliqi ate four dumplings with different stuffings and was shocked. Such delicious food, let others eat it casually?
"In the thinking mode of most people, being poor is inferior to others, and the country is the same.
However, with the virtue of your majesty, the people of the Tang Dynasty are poor but not lose their ambitions, because of their faith, so the righteousness lasts forever.
As a monarch, select people from the virtuous; as an official, teach the people to be loyal; as a teacher, teach the students to be artistic."
Li Yi picked up a dumpling with fennel stuffing for the little guy, and the little guy loved it.
The little guy picked up the plate with both hands: "Thank you, Brother Li Yi! A king should promote talents for the world. The brilliant and elegant words are not for the ignorant; the talented and outstanding are not for the shallow."
"Just eat two fennel ones, don't eat too much, or you will have diarrhea." Li Yi tapped the little guy's nose with his finger.
"Hmm!" The little guy was happy.
The old king and the second prince were depressed again. We speak in our language, and you can understand. We have learned your language, but why can't we understand it sometimes?
The sound is the same, why? Do you have another way of speaking? Right?
