Chapter 1921 Fishing is a sport
I don’t know if it’s due to their eating habits. Most of the Yi people Zhou Zhi met have excellent figures, with even bones and flesh. Both men and women have a kind of “fitness” feeling.
The tartary buckwheat they often eat is similar to Polygonum multiflorum and rhubarb. It contains a substance called rutin, which is a bioflavonoid, which can soften blood vessels, lower blood sugar and urine sugar, and strengthen the peripheral effects of insulin.
Rutin is almost absent in other cereals. In addition to rutin, tartary buckwheat is also rich in iron, zinc, manganese, magnesium, and potassium. I don’t know if the health of the Yi people is related to this.
However, the taste of tartary buckwheat can only be said to be average. The Yi people's habit is to use "zimu ash", that is, fire pond ash soaked in water to mix with fermented tartary buckwheat flour to make a dough, blanch it in water, or steam it. Cooked, roasted and used as staple food.
Urban people generally find this method unpalatable. The way the Yi people reconcile the taste is to put a plate of honey next to the tartary buckwheat cake and eat it with honey.
However, Zhou Zhi still didn't like this way of eating, so he tried to improve it. The improved tartary buckwheat cake can be steamed into fluffy "honeycomb eyes", the taste is much softer, and the bitterness is neutralized. It's a lot, so that's why Mai Xiaomiao feels "delicious" now.
“Don’t listen to Renzhong’s nonsense. This is a healthy food. You can’t eat it outside.” Zhou Zhi smiled and said, “Now we use the puffing process to make tartary buckwheat tea. As a drinking substitute, it has health benefits and is very popular in Japan and South Korea. "Is it available at the food station?" Mai Xiaomiao said. After finishing, he raised the tartary buckwheat cake in his hand: "This should be good when dipped in mayonnaise or mustard sauce."
"Can it be eaten when dipped in mustard?" Wu Renzhong frowned, as he was in Qionghai Hotel As someone who has received foreign guests, he knows that Japanese and Korean businessmen like to eat sashimi dipped in mustard. That time Zhou Zhi asked the hotel to try making Yasheng into Yusheng, which was quite popular.
But Wu Renzhong himself feels that he is far worse than Qionghai Zuixia.
"Xiao Miao is talking about French mustard, the kind usually used to spread bread." Zhou Zhi said: "Xiao Miao, if you are not picky, I can barely make mayonnaise, but other things...I'm afraid There's nothing I can do."
"No, no," Mai Xiaomiao waved her hands: "I think I prefer Chinese food now!"
"Actually, The Chinese breakfast is rich enough, and there are many kinds you haven’t tried yet.” Zhou Zhi said, “But take your time.”
“As for the tartary buckwheat tea made from puffed buckwheat powder. , in fact, in order to take care of the yield and quick brewing, the real taste is better, it is better to take the tartary buckwheat grains and fry them slowly over low heat before making the tea soup.”
"Yes!" Wu Renzhong praised Zhou Zhi: "We all drink this now! The puffed kind is used to coax foreigners!"
After breakfast, the children have arrived at school. It's time to go to class soon.
Now Zhou Zhi is in charge of Chinese, English, music, and moral education, and Li Lu is in charge of mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
Physics and chemistry are actually a bit beyond the syllabus. They should be called nature courses in primary schools. However, as a graduate student from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the nature courses taught by Li Lu are a little more complicated than the primary school nature courses, but they are all popular science. Children can generally understand the content.
Sports are canceled based on local conditions. Every child is a young athlete. After school, they play ball, wrestle, chase sheep, and carry water. The amount of exercise is several times that of children in the city.
When Mai Xiaomiao came, Zhou Zhi transferred the English class to her. Lianhe Township Primary School was great, now it had a real "foreign teacher".
Mai Xiaomiao was actually a little nervous at first, but Zhou Zhi told her that there was no need to be nervous at all. For example, she could just take everyone to the river beach to play games, have a cold meal, and chat in English. For example, in this class, we took everyone to play eagle and catch chickens. In this way, we learned several words, which is considered to have completed the class task.
Mai Xiaomiao feels that some courses in foreign countries are similar to this. Such courses are both good and familiar. The pressure is gone immediately, and it is fun to play with the kids.
Music class is taught by Zhou Zhi, who accompanies Zhou Zhi with a guitar. In fact, he cannot play the guitar well at all, so he can play accompaniment. Guan Tingting makes fun of him as "three chords rule the world."
The so-called "three chords" actually refer to the three basic accompaniment patterns used as accompaniment to songs, which are much simpler than solo musical instruments. Then they are simplified and simplified. A "universal formula" is selected from each pattern to form a Guan Tingting laughed at the "three chords".
With these three chords, it can basically be adapted to all types of songs. The rest is to adjust the rhythm and tone.
If he encounters a song that doesn't quite match, Zhou Zhi will change his singing method, adjust his singing voice to match the accompaniment, and use rogue methods to solve the problem.
Ethnic minorities are good at singing and dancing. Almost all of the children are musical geniuses. Under the influence of the environment since childhood, they have completed the stage of opening their voices and practicing their voices. Their use of breath and cavity is simply amazing. It is self-taught without a teacher.
So Zhou Zhi's music class can be a little more complicated. Pick a popular song, and the girls and boys will be divided into two teams according to the timbre, forming a total of four parts to sing in harmony.
The children were familiar with solo singing, and they felt new about this singing method. However, the effect of this kind of collaborative singing was very amazing, so everyone had a great time.
In the past, Li Lu would listen and applaud at this time, focusing on the output of emotional value.
Now there is Mai Xiaomiao, who not only applauds but also records videos, and the emotional value output is directly filled up by the children.
However, Zhou Zhi is indeed proud. If he were to teach children in the capital of Shu, it would take him a long time just to teach them the correct pitch, let alone teach them how to pronounce and breathe.
It’s easy here, just remind everyone not to express yourself excessively, but to integrate into the collective voice. After two or three classes, you can basically practice a song well.
"I came from the mountains with orchid grass and planted it in the small garden, hoping that the flowers would bloom early..."
"Orchid Grass" is too easy for children, and it is an introduction to Lianhe Township Primary School level music class, but since Mai Xiaomiao's crazy applause and praise had aroused everyone's enthusiasm, Zhou Zhi simply asked the children to gather around her and Li Lu for a "reporting performance", performing all the songs they had learned so far. .
The classes at the township primary school only last until two o'clock in the afternoon. Many children have to walk a long way home or go back to do housework and farm work, so the classes end relatively early, after lunch and a short lunch break. , then take a class of music or moral education, and the rest is a "physical education" class that voluntarily stays in school.
The so-called moral education is actually Zhou Zhi telling stories. In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, Zhou Zhi is so strong that he has no friends.
As for sports, they are not happy to go home. The children who stay in school play ball, games, even chess and fishing in school.
Yes, chess and fishing are now under the jurisdiction of the Sports Commission, so there is nothing wrong with calling them sports.
