Chapter Thirty-Eight: Oil Preparation



After finishing dinner, Sheng Xitai went to the west room to play with his older brothers and sisters.

They might play games like "Paji" and "Zhuawa" with their third brother, Sheng Xikang, or "Galaha" with their sister, Sheng Yunfei.

That square is made of folded paper, usually textbook paper or notebook paper.

Fold a rectangular piece of paper in half and tear it into a long strip. Then fold the corners so that the two strips form a cross and are inserted together at an angle.

There are many ways to play this game. You can play it by carrying it on your back. You can lay out a stack of them in your hand, flip your hand over, and it will land on the back of your hand with a slap.

Some will fall down, then you flip them over again, and what's left in your hand is yours, while the one that fell down is carried by the other person.

You can also try hitting it. Just use the corner of the slap to smash the bottom one. If you can flip it over, you win.

To make tiles, you usually use a tile, preferably one with a smooth interior like a water vat, and use a tool to break it into a circle slightly larger than your thumbnail.

A set contains five items, which can be played in various ways, such as grabbing or carrying.

As for the "galaha" that girls play with, it is made from the kneecaps of animals such as pigs and sheep, and a set contains at least four.

Pork bone bones are too big and irregular, while sheep bone bones are better, so in some places they are called sheep knuckles.

But the Sheng family used roe deer bones, and painted the outside red.

After playing with it for a long time, the surface of the bone becomes smooth and lustrous, making it very beautiful.

Of the Sheng family's children, the second oldest seizes every opportunity to read, while the third oldest is also a good student, but not as diligent, spending his evenings playing with his younger siblings.

They were all playing in the west room; I wonder what they were doing in the outer room.

As soon as the aroma wafted out, Sheng Xitai, with his keenest sense of smell, dashed out and squatted in front of the stove.

This time, I wasn't thinking about playing anymore; I just stayed there.
