Rebirth of the Evil Life

Chapter 5713: Tossing Pots

These reporters had enough to eat and drink, but they did not forget about business.

After all, in this ‘China on the Bite of the Tongue’, no matter how beautiful the dance is, no matter how abundant the food is, life still has to go on. Here, it is just a wonderful encounter in paradise. For them, if they don't get some news back today, then none of them will be able to report to their leaders.

Otherwise, when I go back, the leader will ask, what did Lin Feng say? As a result, what they handed over were photos of food related to "A Bite of China" and photos of palace dancers. As for the rest, the leader had to skin them.

Therefore, after eating and drinking, many reporters forgot about their longing for the palace dancer and their worries about the delicious food that left their lips and teeth fragrant, and got to the point.

Lin Feng waved his hand, and a group of Hanfu male waiters wearing a complete set of clothes, headdress, hair style, face coverings, shoes, and accessories came out and cleared everyone's dishes. As for the dancing palace dancers, they stood on both sides, with long and graceful silk clothes, enchanting and incomparable figures.

Of course, Liu Shangfu and two palace maids stood behind Lin Feng, cold and silent, waiting for Lin Feng's orders.

"Everyone, everyone is just asking for food. You are like this, and so am I. We are just trying to survive in the whole world. Therefore, making things convenient for others is making things convenient for yourself. Everyone, I have a question. Just ask." Lin Feng said with a smile, "Of course, when you ask a question, you raise your hand outside and I'll call your name. But here, we just play our ancient Chinese game - pot throwing!"

Tou Hu is one of the oldest games of the Han nationality in China. The traditional etiquette and banquet games of the Han nationality that lasted from the pre-Qin Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, the pot-throwing ceremony originated from the shooting ceremony. Because the courtyard is not wide enough for the marquis to place swans; or because there are many guests, it is not enough to prepare a bow to match the couple; or some guests really do not know how to shoot, so they throw pots instead of bows to entertain the guests and practice etiquette. Lu Dalin of the Song Dynasty said in the "Book of Rites": "To throw a pot, the shooting is fine. Yan drinks and shoots to entertain the guests, and to learn the skills to learn the appearance."

Touhu was most popular in two dynasties, one was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the other was the Tang Dynasty, especially the Tang Dynasty. Because, during these two periods, the Han nation was particularly martial. This was also the most powerful military period in the history of the Han nation.

Initially, during the Warring States Period, the folk custom was still shooting. One is hunting, and the other is fighting against the nomads beyond the Great Wall. So when a guest comes to the host's house, if the host considers you a friend, he will invite you to shoot arrows. And you can't say no. If you refuse, you are not giving the master face, so of course the friend has nothing to do. But as for archery, there are always people who are talented, and there will always be people who can't shoot. And it is also subject to venue restrictions. so. This evolved into a game of throwing arrows into a pot.

Of course, with the evolution of the times, there have been many improvements to this throwing pot. For example, set up a screen outside the pot for blind casting, or sit back and cast backward. This has been popular for more than two thousand years. It was not until the late Qing Dynasty that it gradually became less popular with the introduction of modern Western sports.

Of course, there were also reasons why the ruling class at that time restricted pot throwing. after all. Pot throwing is always a martial style. The leadership does not want the people to be martial. Especially for the Manchu ruling class, there were too many Han people. If everyone is martial, that's fine.

In fact, as far as Lin Feng is concerned, the decline of Touhu was not only due to the introduction of modern sports, but also due to the suppression of Han culture by the Qing government at that time. After all, the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty. If the Manchu etiquette is not popular, how about your Han etiquette?

So, now when Lin Feng wants to promote Han culture, in addition to this luxurious food and clothing. It is also necessary to promote some unique cultural elements in Han culture.

What's more, throwing pots is always an interesting thing. The reason why it has declined and cannot be popularized is because it is a little too elegant. Where can this thing come from in ordinary people's homes? However, now Lin Feng is not planning to popularize it to the whole people, but is promoting it to high-end customers.

For example. Lin Feng is planning to launch a mini game using pot throwing. Customers who come to dine can order palace dancers to accompany them by throwing pots. Of course, they are just backup dancers, and they can only qualify as backup dancers by throwing pots. Money is useless.

"Pah!" Liu Shangfu patted twice.

Soon, a dancer placed a throwing pot in the middle of the hall. Then, each reporter received three command arrows.

"Each of you has three command arrows in your hands. These three arrows mean that you can ask three questions. Of course, the premise is that you have to throw it in. If you can't throw it in, then you give up. Now, whoever shoots it first will win first. First come first!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

At this time, many reporters became excited.

They have never played a game like pot throwing. Of course, we have seen similar games before. Now, combining this pot-throwing game with their questions makes them feel naturally more novel and interesting.

When Lin Feng announced that he could throw pot, many reporters couldn't help it. The command arrow in his hand began to be thrown out. As a result, of course, the sound of "bang bang" kept ringing.

You know, although pot throwing looks simple, it actually requires very much skill. This is not something you can invest in if you want to. In particular, the pot throwing game introduced by Lin Feng is very traditional. Everything is made with real arrows. The body of the pot, the neck of the pot is seven inches long, the diameter is two and a half inches, the height of the pot is one foot and two inches, the capacity is five liters, the belly of the pot is five inches (the size of the Zhou Dynasty, one inch is about 2.31 cm), and the pot contains Anko, make sure the arrow doesn't bounce out.

As for the arrows, Lin Feng made them from wood and cut them into the shape of arrows. The arrows were 20 cm long, with sharp ends and blunt ends. To throw them in, the use of strength, angle, and wrist strength are indispensable.

At this moment, these reporters threw them randomly. And they threw them together without any rhythm. Many arrows collided with each other in the air and finally fell to the ground. As a result, after the first round of throwing, not a single arrow fell into the pot.

At this moment, many reporters looked at each other, a little unnatural. There were only two arrows left in each person's hand. What if none of them could be thrown in? Although it is said that there are probably nearly a thousand arrows in the hands of many reporters at the scene, you have to know that this is only two arrows in each person's hand. And can everyone throw them in like this?

The probability is probably not too high. For many reporters, it is really not too high. What if none of them are thrown in? Lin Feng will not show mercy and will say, since no one has thrown it in, let's start again. Lin Feng will definitely not give them a chance.

What to do?

Many reporters immediately turned their minds. In the current situation, if they want to ensure the hit rate, the most effective way is to hit the arrows in the hands of those who are particularly good at throwing. In this way, they can maximize their interests. But there is a problem. If you give the arrows to people and throw them in, will they ask what you want to ask? Moreover, there is always a difference in who asks.

After all, reporters are divided into star reporters and ordinary reporters. Ordinary reporters naturally have no privileges. And star reporters naturally have many privileges. They always get many preferential treatments. And how do star reporters come? Naturally, they ask all kinds of tricky and difficult questions during the interview.

So, in this case, you can't always fulfill others and sacrifice yourself. In that case, no one is willing.

After a little calm, the second round of throwing began. This time, it was much better than before. Before, it was a mess. Now everyone aims and then aims, and there is a rhythm. You throw and I throw, and everyone no longer throws in a swarm.

However, it is still not an easy thing to hit the target. If pitching pots were so simple, it would not have been popular for more than two thousand years. But there are always random shots.

"Haha, I hit it, I hit it!" A reporter shouted excitedly.

He also threw it casually to gamble on his luck. As a result, it actually went in. This made him extremely excited, jumping up and down. You know, there are hundreds of reporters on the scene, but so far, only he has had the opportunity to ask questions. You say, how can he not be excited!

"Excuse me!" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, what I want to ask is..." The reporter stood up and wanted to ask a question, but because he was too excited, he didn't know what to ask in a hurry.

This naturally caused laughter all around.

"Don't worry, think carefully about what you want to ask! You know, if you miss this, you only have one chance left!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

The reporter was even more anxious when he heard this. His forehead was full of sweat. He had a lot of questions in his stomach, but he didn't know what to ask. This time, he was confused.

You know, this person is sometimes like this. You have a lot of knowledge, but when you take the exam, you can't write a word.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, I want to ask, how did you turn defeat into victory this time?" After struggling for a long time, the reporter finally asked a question that was not a question.

Oh~~~ The reporters around booed. Your question is really in vain.

How did Lin Feng turn defeat into victory? Isn't it simple? His father-in-law, US President Donald Trump, vetoed the Fed's decision to raise interest rates. This is the first reason for the stock market surge; secondly, Lin Feng's unconditional investment of 5 trillion US dollars in Nasdaq stocks is the second reason.

Under these two reasons, it would be strange if Lin Feng didn't turn the tide. You finally made a good investment, but asked such a brainless question. Aren't you going to make a mistake!

The reporter was also anxious.

"Mr. Lin, no, no, Fengshen, I don't want to ask how you turned defeat into victory, but why they didn't deliver! They obviously had many opportunities, but why didn't they deliver?" This question is to the point. (To be continued.)
