Chapter 174: Watching Chess
I made a cup of tea. The tea leaves in the cup were the good tea brought by teacher Guan Qidonggang. The tea leaves were piece by piece in the cup, which was very beautiful and not comparable to the tea from Canghai family.
Holding the cup in one hand, Cang Hai took the tiger's head to the water tower and took a basket of peaches.
When placed in the water tower, the peaches can not only keep them fresh, but also bring a hint of cold air when taken out. Even if they don’t like to eat crispy peaches, they can eat one or two from time to time, let alone others.
Holding a basket of peaches, he returned to the kiln. Cang Hai opened the curtain and entered the door, and let out a thrill.
"Where did this come from?" Cang Hai asked, looking at the master's wife and Shi Wei who were sitting in the kiln and were preparing to play chess.
At this time, the caves in the season only showed their true power. Apart from one door, the sun was scorching outside, but the kiln was cool and pleasant. Moreover, this coolness was not the coolness of the air conditioner, but natural, dry and refreshing without a trace of dryness. Just sit in the kiln, and the scorching sun outside seemed to have nothing to do with the people in the house anymore.
At this time, Qin Lingling was like this, and Shi Wei was like this. Even Guan Lin, who was lying on the sofa, stretched her head and looked at her phone, and occasionally stroked her iron head with one hand. She felt that hiding in the kiln was a life that a god lived.
Qin Lingling and Shi Wei got a chessboard from somewhere, not military chess or chess, but Go.
When Cang Hai carried the curtain into the room, Shi Wei held white and Qin Lingling held black. The two of them sat face to face on both sides of the small table, playing chess intently.
Hearing Canghai's voice, Shi Wei looked up at Canghai, saw the peach basket in Canghai's hand, and said, "I brought it from home. I thought about playing chess recipes in my spare time, but I didn't expect Aunt Qin would do it, so I set up the previous game."
"Who wants to eat peaches?"
Cang Hai didn't argue after hearing this, and put the peach basket in his hand on the cabinet next to the door.
Before Canghai could finish his words, Tietou jumped over first, reached out and looked at a peach and opened his mouth and started to chew.
"Don't bite the skin!"
Seeing Tie Tou Monkey's anxious look, Cang Hai scolded him, Tie Tou is becoming more and more picky now, and I don't know who I learned it from. I have to bite the skin when I eat peaches. As soon as it bites the skin, at least one-fifth of the flesh will be wasted. It cannot be said that it is wasted. Even if Tie Tou doesn't eat this flesh, I will eat chickens and ducks at home. But Cang Hai doesn't want to be abusive to Tie Tou's habit.
Tietou heard Cang Hai's reprimand and was biting a piece of peach skin from his mouth and thinking about spitting it into his other hand. He had to chew it twice, and swallowed the flesh with the peach skin while stammering his neck.
He reached out to take two peaches, handed them to Shi Jie Qin Lingling, and the other to Shi Wei.
"Thank you!" Qin Lingling took the Tao and put it on the corner of the table, her eyes still focused on the chessboard in front of her.
Shi Wei took Taozi and reached out to wipe it two handfuls, put it to her mouth, and bit it in small mouthfuls.
"Senior brother, where is my peach?"
Guan Lin, who was lying on the sofa, saw that her mother and Shi Wei had peaches in her hands, so she asked Canghai.
Canghai had no choice but to take another peach and walk two steps to Guan Lin and send it to the young lady.
"The peaches just got out of the refrigerator, and they were still airy," said Guan Lin.
As soon as he caught the peach, Guan Lin felt that the cold air on the peach suddenly weakened the temperature of her palm. She opened her mouth and bite the peach, and then felt that the cold and sweet flesh had an indescribable deliciousness. She felt that the peaches in her hand were more than ten thousand times better than the peaches she had eaten before.
"I just took it out of the water tower. I took the time to eat it while it was still cold, but I could eat at most two. If I had too much, my stomach wouldn't be able to bear it." Cang Hai took a bench and sat next to the small table, looking at Shi Wei and Master's wife playing chess.
Canghai is not very proficient in Go, and he is just able to do it. When he is in school, Guan Qidong would occasionally pull Canghai to play a game, and almost all Canghai lost.
Cang Huo Loss does not mean how powerful Guan Qi is, but that both master and apprentice are all bad chess players, while Guan Qidong's snatch is a little higher than Cang Hai. Some people don't play chess well, but it's just a good bit. Guan Qidong is such a person.
Qin Lingling's chess is not very good, but compared to Guan Cang's master and disciple, who is not sure how high it is, so Guan Qi's chess, who is abused by his wife from time to time, regained his self-esteem on Canghai, the student, and then he was killed by his wife again and again, and then came to Canghai to find a balance.
After doing this for a long time, Canghai naturally had no preference for Go. So when Shi Wei asked, Canghai used to ask Canghai casually, Canghai naturally said no, so as not to avoid being caught as a vegetable at home.
Canghai put a small stool and sat next to him watching chess. It was not that he wanted to improve himself, but for Canghai, watching chess is just a fight on a rainy day, and he was idle.
Shi Wei and Qin Lingling are hard to distinguish. Their chess skills are similar, so they are naturally more involved when playing.
If you want to play chess, you will naturally meet good materials. Opponents who are too strong or too weak are not as powerful as those who are equal to those who are equal to those who are equal to those of chess and drums. So now the two women directly ignore Canghai and their eyes are focused on the small inch of heaven and earth in front of them.
The so-called bystanders are clear, and the people around them must also be of a standard. Bystanders like Canghai can’t talk about the clarity of the clear, they are nothing more than drinking their own tea by others.
After watching the chess for about twenty minutes, Canghai heard the movement outside. When he looked up, he saw that teachers Guan Qidong and Qu Guowei were back. As soon as they entered the house, they immediately took off their straw hats, each carrying their own clothes, and kept slapping the wind. Not to mention anything else, just looking at the sweaty appearance of the two, Canghai knew that the cowhide on the table was blown.
Canghai did not point it out, but it does not mean that some people will give faces to the two old men, such as Guan Lin, a quick-talking little girl.
"Dad, Uncle Qu, why did you two come back so early and stay outside for an hour?"
Guan Lin blinked her big eyes and asked pretty with a harmless look. If it weren't for the smile in the little girl's eyes, she might have thought that this little girl was so honest. She would never have thought that the girl was going to argue with someone.
Qu Guowei said: "We are too tired to take the bus. We are going to come back and take a break and go around tomorrow to check it out."
Puff!
Guan Lin couldn't help but feel happy: "It's just hot outside. It's not embarrassing that you two can't stand it and come back. It's just that you just said that when you were young, it's not so credible!"
Qu Guo explained: "I am so old and I'm so bragging about you, a little girl."
It doesn't matter if Guan Qidong arrived. He walked to the coffee table, picked up the cold kettle and poured a full glass of water for himself, grabbed it and poured it into his mouth.
After drinking, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Canghai, why is it so hot here at noon?"
Canghai replied with a smile: "You don't see when this is. Two or three o'clock in the afternoon is the most poisonous time of the day. Not to mention you, even the villagers would not choose to go out at this time. They are all in the kiln, either taking a nap or chatting together to chat with the mountains."
Seeing that the teacher still wanted to drink water, Canghai pointed to the basket containing peaches at the door: "Teacher, stop drinking water, eat a peach, quench your thirst, all of which have been washed, clean and eat it now."
Hearing Cang Hai say this, Guan Qidong picked up a peach and put it in his mouth and bit it.
After eating it in one bite, he immediately said to Qu Guowei: "Old Qu, peaches are good."
Cang Hai was not interested in appreciating the two old men eating peaches, and turned his eyes back to the chessboard and continued to watch the chess.
Qu Guowei and Guan Qidong also saw Shi Wei and Qin Lingling playing chess, so they ate peaches while climbing to the side of the chessboard and started watching with relish.
Although Shi Wei and Qin Lingling were equal in chess and drums, they were not masters. They played the game for almost an hour, and as Shi Wei gave up, they finished playing it.
"Who are you going to play?" Qin Lingling asked the three men standing while grabbing the chessboard back into the chess can.
When Cang Hai heard this, he waved his hand and said, "I have something to do soon. Why don't you be with Qu Bolai?"
When Qu Guowei heard this, he immediately said, "I won't play with him. It's not bad enough to play with him. Why don't we have a game, Lingling, let's have a game?"
Seeing Qin Lingling a little hesitant, Shi Wei immediately advised: "Aunt Qin, you can have the next game with Uncle Qu. Anyway, there is not much work to do, just skewers of mutton or something."
Qin Lingling heard this and asked, "Can you two do it?"
Shi Wei smiled and said, "There are two people, and there is still peace. He went home to sleep. He looked at the time and should wake up."
"Okay!" Qin Lingling agreed.
When Qu Guowei heard that he was waiting for Shi Wei to stand up, he immediately sat down on Shi Wei's original seat and soon started playing chess with Qin Lingling.
Canghai returned to the water tower and took the mutton back. He sat aside with Shiwei and started making mutton and skewers. In addition to the mutton, there were more than a dozen small fish the size of a palm. The fish was the unique fish in Canghai's hometown, also called the ground tumbling. Because the thorns are few and the meat is plump, the grilled fish tastes good, so Canghai added it to the barbecue list.
In addition to lamb and fish, there are also sheep intestines, crisp bones, tenderloin, and five main players, and the rest are all vegetables.
In addition to barbecue, there are spicy crayfish tonight. Of course, the ones that must be served with ice beer, so there is no shortage of this weather.
Canghai was doing work here, and the chess side began to get lively.
Guan Qidong couldn't help it anymore and asked his wife: "This boy fell here, and this part of him lived here."
Qin Lingling did not listen to her husband. Not only did she not listen, she gave him a blank look and then left the son in her hand elsewhere.
It can be tolerated once or twice, but Guan Qidong, a stinky chess player, has to give some advice every now and then, which makes Qin Lingling a little unhappy.
Qu Guo started to give advice again in order to see Guan Qidong, and said unhappily: "I say Lao Guan, I am a gentleman who can't speak chess, let alone you are a stinky man."
Guan Qidong Road: "I'll kill you a piece of armor and you won't leave it."
Qu Guo gave a thumbs up at Guan Qidong: "I'm so brave, but if you lose, don't cry."
