"Stop! Stop! Why are you running so fast? Are you trying to steal the food? Come on, follow your teacher's lead and run slowly. Pay attention to your breathing. Keep your mouth closed. Don't exhale through your mouth, exhale through your nose. Got it?"
After some instruction, the student was able to run properly. Cao Hu was satisfied and ran slowly to the side, as relaxed as if he was playing.
The playground is very large, and the running track around the playground is 400 meters long. Cao Hu led the students to run three laps as a warm-up.
In fact, these students have good physical fitness. Those with poor physical fitness would have died long ago. How could they survive?
With good food and drink these days, everyone has gained some weight, and they are dressed neatly and cleanly, so they look more energetic.
Even the younger ones did not fall behind after running three laps, and no one complained of being tired.
It’s just running, what’s the big deal?
Compared to the days when we were hungry, cold and bullied, life is so much better now.
"Don't sit down immediately after running. Move around on the spot and stretch your arms and legs." Cao Hu reminded.
A few minutes later, Cao Hu clapped his hands and said, "Alright, get back to the team and line up again. Next, the teacher will teach you a set of exercises to strengthen your body - the Five Animal Exercises."
"This 'Five Animal Exercises' is truly remarkable. It's a set of movements created by the medical sage Hua Tuo. You've probably heard of Hua Tuo, right? 'Hua Tuo is still alive' refers to him. Tell me, how impressive are the movements created by such a remarkable doctor?
"Today I will teach you this set of body techniques so that you can have a strong body. The body is the foundation of everything. Only when the body is healthy can we discuss other things.
"The Five Animals Exercises, why is it called 'Five Animals'? Because it imitates the movements and gestures of five animals: tiger, deer, bear, ape, and bird. Now, I'll perform it in its entirety. Watch carefully."
Seeing that the students were staring at him without blinking, Cao Hu felt a great sense of responsibility. He turned around and practiced the Five Animal Exercises with his back to them.
He had specifically gone to He Shen to learn this.
Xue Huan originally wanted the students to practice gymnastics. Speaking of gymnastics, the sound of radio gymnastics automatically rang in her mind. Although she had not practiced gymnastics for several years, thanks to the enhancement of her soul power, her memory became stronger, and many things that had been forgotten became clear again.
She can recall every gymnastics movement completely, so there is no problem teaching gymnastics to students.
However, the gymnastics practiced by primary and secondary school students across the country today actually came from the West, and the "Five Animal Exercises" created by the medical saint Hua Tuo was more than a thousand years earlier than the medical gymnastics invented by the West.
It just so happened that He Shen knew the Five Animal Exercises. Xue Huan watched him perform them completely and found that the Five Animal Exercises were no worse than gymnastics, and in fact far surpassed them, because the Five Animal Exercises not only strengthened the body, but also provided both offensive and defensive capabilities.
Even after practicing for a long time, a wisp of true qi will be generated in the body. This wisp of true qi is like the internal force cultivated by a martial arts master. With it, the human body is like adding a gain buff, and endurance, speed, physical strength, etc. will be greatly enhanced, and even resistance will be greatly increased.
He Shen is just like that.
If he hadn't already had a trace of true energy in his body, he would have frozen to death the last time he fell into that cave.
How could I hold out until she arrived?
So she listed the Five Animal Exercises as a "compulsory subject in physical education class". After the students learned it, they had to practice it during the daily break.
After Cao Hu practiced the whole exercise, he began to teach his students one move at a time.
When teaching seriously, time flies by very fast and a class is over in a blink of an eye.
The dean said that extending the class was unacceptable. Both teachers and students should have a sense of time, so Cao Hu immediately stopped and stood still. "Okay, that's all for today. Remember to practice what we taught you earlier after you go back home, so you don't forget it next time."
"yes!"
"Okay, let's all go."
This class happened to be the last class in the afternoon, and the students all rushed to the cafeteria. It was not because they were afraid of not being able to grab their favorite dishes, but because they wanted to eat them early.
The meals prepared in the cafeteria are sufficient for everyone to eat until they are full. Even if they cannot finish the food, they can feed it to the pigs and chickens.
A special farm was built behind the canteen, where livestock such as chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, and sheep are raised. When these livestock grow up, the canteen will be self-sufficient and will no longer need to purchase food from outside.
There is not only a breeding farm, but also a large piece of farmland, but nothing has been planted on it yet. This is the experimental field prepared by Xue Huan for the students. She plans to give each student a piece of land and let them plant their own crops.
Farming is a skill, and it's an instinct ingrained in the DNA of every flower farmer. In this age of agriculture, if you can master this skill, you'll have no worries about food no matter where you go.
Today's dinner is as usual three meat dishes, three vegetable dishes and one soup. The three meat dishes are: braised pork, stir-fried chicken with soy sauce, and pork with preserved vegetables.
The braised pork is rich in red sauce, yet not greasy. Each piece is like agate, melting in your mouth with a hint of sweetness. Pour the sauce over the crystal white rice, mix it up, and spoon it into your mouth. It's so satisfying.
The diced chicken in stir-fried sauce is fried with lard and soybean paste. The fried diced chicken is as tender as tofu and is also a great dish to go with rice.
The pork with preserved vegetables has just the right amount of saltiness. The meat is stewed until it is soft and rotten, and the preserved vegetables inside are fully soaked in the meat juice, and tastes just as good as the meat.
In fact, the fish in the river are also very fresh at this time. After a winter, the fish in the river have fattened up after the ice broke in spring. Whether they are braised, steamed or stewed with tofu, they taste delicious.
However, considering that fish have many bones and the students are generally young, Xue Huan crossed out all fish-related dishes from the menu.
Oh, except for the turtle.
Today's soup is turtle soup.
Three vegetarian dishes: stir-fried spring bamboo shoots, dry-pot tofu, and braised choy sum.
At this time of year, spring bamboo shoots have just emerged and are very tender. They are delicious when stir-fried with lard.
There are also two other snacks: sesame balls and rice cakes.
Sesame balls are made of glutinous rice dough wrapped with sweet fillings such as sesame, white sugar, and red bean paste, rolled into balls, fried in oil, and rolled in white sesame seeds. They are particularly fragrant and slightly sticky when eaten, and can be pulled into threads. They are crispy, soft, sweet, and not greasy.
In short, when everyone stepped into the cafeteria, they saw delicious food everywhere.
However, after staying in school for a few days, they have adapted a lot. They know that the food will not disappear and their current life is not just their imagination. They feel at ease and are no longer as impatient as they were at the beginning. Instead, they line up in an orderly manner.
The speed of eating is no longer like fighting a war.
It’s just that most people still eat very quickly. After all, habits formed over a long period of time cannot be changed overnight.
Just because I no longer lack food and clothing, I have learned to restrain myself.
When everyone was enjoying their meal, a voice came from the radio.
