Chapter 333: Adults’ Entertainment (Please vote and subscribe)
There were many children playing sandbag throwing in the square, but there were still many children who didn’t get any. Luo Chong continued to distribute ropes and taught them to play skipping rope. Two people swung the rope, and the children lined up and jumped over one by one, or two or three people stood in the middle and jumped continuously.
The children who were playing these games for the first time had a lot of fun. There was laughter and joy in the square, which attracted the attention of the adults who were transporting building materials on the street. Seeing the children having fun, they were also very happy.
This situation lasted for less than half an hour. More children were also seduced by the lively square, but Luo Chong was not well prepared. Even if these toys were simple, they were still not enough for the children to share. There were also many girls who were not suitable for playing this game, or did not like this game.
Luo Chong really had no choice. Since he had started this, he simply taught them a few more methods. So he called the women who were watching the children in to join the children's games.
Toys are not easy to deal with. There are games without toys. For example, games such as eagle catching chickens and throwing handkerchiefs, which require many participants but do not require any props, have also been spread by Luo Chong.
Of course, the effect is also very good. The laughter and joy in the square lasted for a whole day. Luo Chong dared to say that this was the happiest day for the children of the Han tribe. The degree of joy was no less than that of modern children on Children's Day. Even those adults with jobs, seeing the children playing such interesting games, could not help but be eager to try. Adults also need entertainment activities.
There are naturally many things to play, and there are also many things suitable for adults to play. They are cheap, popular, and can also strengthen the body. Naturally
, it must be football. The sport of playing football is certified by the International Football Association. It was invented in China. Although modern football originated in Britain, China had the sport of Cuju, that is, playing football, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period.
At that time, most balls were made of animal skins, filled with hair or rice bran, and some were filled with hay. The cost was not expensive. A group of people chased and kicked a ball, and they could exercise while having fun. If they were more serious, they could also practice arranging troops. According to unofficial historical records, General Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty promoted Cuju in the army and used the sport of kicking football to train soldiers.
Cuju has a long history in China. By the Tang Dynasty, hollow inflatable footballs had appeared. The outside was still sewn with cowhide, and the football liner inside was made of animal bladders, also called blisters. That thing is very resilient and elastic, and is very suitable for making leather ball liner.
The heyday of Cuju was in the Song Dynasty. During its peak period, there were also several star players, such as Gao Qiu, the Grand Commandant. This guy was valued by the boss because of his good kicking. In the end, he was promoted all the way to the Grand Commandant. Who would dare to believe this now, but in that era of national Cuju, it really happened.
There was even a joke on the Internet, saying that Gao Qiu of the Song Dynasty was gone, and the Chinese national football team declined for more than a thousand years
. This topic is a bit far-fetched, but the charm of football is indeed great, and there are so many advantages, and the cost is very cheap.
There is no reason for Luo Chong not to promote it in the Han tribe. But football alone is not enough. This sport can be promoted in the army first, and then developed to the children's group. However, the adults in the tribe have heavy work to complete every day. Maybe they also like to play football, but they don’t have much physical strength to participate, so it is also necessary to develop some entertainment methods that do not require physical strength.
However, we should also pay attention to this aspect. Luo Chong does not intend to promote gambling games such as shaking dice. This thing is easy to get addicted and hurts people. There are obviously more entertainment activities to play, so Luo Chong does not intend to take out this kind of gambling game.
Other games like chess are no problem, such as military chess, checkers, flying chess, five-in-a-row chess, chess, and the most difficult one is Go. These kinds of entertainment activities are also very interesting. Even in modern times, you can still see a group of old men gathering on the roadside to watch chess.
Entertainment activities like playing chess can not only relax after a day's work, but also promote the tribesmen to think more, which is also very beneficial to the development of the tribe. Why can human beings develop? Isn't it because they are good at thinking and inventing?
With these plans, Luo Chong is not a nagging person. He immediately summoned some pregnant women or women who are watching children at home and started to let them make these toys and sew special cube sandbags. This can be made with some cloth scraps left over from making clothes before.
Forget about the shuttlecock. The time is not ripe now. The cost of making metal products is too high. Feathers are also an important material for making bows and arrows. It is not very cost-effective to promote them. Let's talk about it later.
Football is much simpler. It is made of animal skins, and rice bran and hemp fiber are used to fill it temporarily. There are a lot of scraps from making leather armor before. Rice bran and waste hemp balls are all unwanted garbage. Now they can be reused. It is also worth it.
In addition, two apprentices were transferred from the carpentry group to start making various chess sets. Although Go was originally made according to the Go chessboard, it can also be used to play Gobang. The chess sets used for these two types of chess are not much different. Start with the simple ones. After learning these, gradually promote more difficult chess games.
Moreover, these chess sets can be used to teach the tribesmen how to play. After they learn, they will naturally use their brains to find substitutes for the chess pieces. At that time, they can just draw a chessboard on the ground and play for half a day.
When Luo Chong was in junior high school, he drew a chessboard on his homework book. One person drew a triangle and the other drew a circle. He could play with his classmates for 300 rounds. When he really wanted to play, he was still worried about not being able to find something to replace it?
But it is actually very simple to make. Just find a round wooden stick of similar size, saw off small wooden blocks from it, polish it a little, and then paint it with different colors, and you can make chess pieces.
Chess is a little more troublesome, as you need to engrave words on the wooden blocks, but if you are not too particular, you can just write on them with paint. Anyway, as long as you can play it, there is no need to make it so delicate. If you want something that looks good, you can make it yourself when you are free.
These simple tasks were quickly arranged, and the tribesmen made them very quickly. Due to the abundance of various materials, more than 40 footballs appeared in the Han tribe in just one night.
In the foreseeable future, the great sport of football will surely rise in the Han tribe.
