However, Lu Tiesheng seemed to have overestimated his abilities.
Although Lu Xinghe was a newbie, he knew how to draw inferences from one example and grasp the overall situation. In three consecutive games, he would be trapped and killed by Lu Xinghe before he could understand the game.
Lu Tiesheng, who had been defeated repeatedly, was tortured by Lu Xinghe to the point where he completely lost his temper.
Zhang Zheng on the side also looked surprised.
"If I hadn't heard it from your own words, I wouldn't have believed that this was your first time playing chess."
"A man who conquers the enemy without fighting is a good person." Lu Xinghe pointed to a few chess pieces on the chessboard and said, "Each chess piece has its own specific trajectory, just like marching to fight, each person is responsible for a different area. , it will not be difficult if you master its rules."
Lu Tiesheng on the side was confused.
"I've been messing around for so many days and still don't understand it. You and I already know the rules in the third game? How come it's still related to the formation of troops?"
Lu Xinghe raised the corners of his lips slightly, "It's just an analogy. Don't take it seriously. It's not really about arranging troops. It's just that you have to look at the next three moves, or even look further, to have a greater chance of winning."
Lu Tiesheng nodded, thoughtfulness flashing across his face.
Zhang Zheng looked at Lu Xinghe with regret on his face.
"It's a pity that you don't go to the battlefield, otherwise Nanyuan Kingdom will have another powerful general."
Lu Tiesheng on the side quickly came to his senses, "That won't work! People will die if you go to the battlefield. Your uncle's family, Chang Lian, doesn't know if he can come back yet, so he can't mess with it."
"Whether it's the battlefield or the officialdom, it's actually the same. My ambition is not on the battlefield, so don't worry." Lu Xinghe said, pointing to the chessboard, "Do you want to play a game with me, Doctor Zhang?"
As soon as I found the pattern, I felt a little itchy.
He really didn't have enough fun with his grandfather just now, so he thought of trying it out with Zhang Zheng.
Seeing this, Lu Tiesheng quickly stood up and pointed to his position.
"Doctor Zhang, come on."
Everyone had already vacated their seats, so Zhang Zheng had no choice but to sit down in Lu Tiesheng's seat.
This time, he was no longer as careless as when he fought against Lu Tiesheng, but was more energetic.
The brat in front of me has a brain that is not comparable to that of the old man.
If he loses his guard, he will definitely be beaten.
But the fact is that even though he tried hard, he was still beaten.
There were two losses and one draw in three rounds. The final tie was a deliberate attempt by Lu Xinghe to protect his face.
Despite this, Lu Tiesheng still looked proud.
After so many days of frustration, at this moment, I felt like I was relieved.
He smiled and patted Zhang Zheng on the shoulder.
"Man, I thought you were very good at chess, but I didn't expect you to lose sometimes."
Zhang Zheng's beard trembled.
"Winning or losing is common in military affairs. I at least won one round, but you didn't win a single round."
Lu Tiesheng waved his hand nonchalantly.
"It is said that a young person is better than an old person. If I lose at the hands of my own grandson, I won't suffer a loss."
Zhang Zheng snorted, but he was not as knowledgeable as his grandfather and grandson.
Originally, what he was best at was not chess.
At this moment, the pork belly and chicken in the kitchen were already stewed with a strong aroma, and the smell of fried pork intestines was gradually wafting out.
The old men who were watching the chess game smelled it, and all the gluttons in their stomachs were brought out. But the banquet will not start tomorrow, and there are so many guests at Lu Tiesheng's house today, so it is not easy to lick their faces and stay to eat, covering their faces. With a hungry stomach, he said goodbye to Lu Tiesheng and went home.
Zhang Zheng stretched his neck and looked in the direction of the kitchen, and couldn't help but lick his mouth.
"What are you cooking today that tastes so good?"
After a while, Chu Yue shouted outside, "Heimu, go to the entrance of the village and see if Brother Dagui has brought back the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt. By the way, go up and call your mother, uncle and two uncles over for dinner."
Kuroki responded and went out.
Zhang Zheng couldn't sit still anymore. He got up and went to the kitchen. Looking at the milky white pork belly and chicken cooked in the soup and the unique fragrance it exuded, his mouth watered.
"Girl, what is this?"
"This is pork belly and chicken, Master." After Chu Yue finished speaking, she served Zhang Zheng a bowl with a smile, "Master, try it first. Some pepper and wolfberry are put in it. It will warm the stomach, nourish the stomach, and nourish the body."
"It's actually a medicinal meal?"
Zhang Zheng was a little surprised. He took a spoon, blew on it, and then drank it.
The fresh aroma of chicken mixed with the unique fragrance of pork belly forms a unique aroma that warms the whole body after one bite.
I scooped another piece of pork belly into my mouth and chewed it carefully. The texture of the pork belly was refreshing, crisp and tender, with a slight sweetness.
"tasty!"
After a while, he devoured a small bowl of pork belly and chicken.
Zhang Zheng looked at the empty bowl in his hand with unfinished meaning.
"This pork belly was treated as pig offal in the past and was rarely served on the table. How did this girl come up with the idea of putting pork belly and chicken together to make a medicinal meal?"
Chu Yue replied while busy with the movements in her hands, "To be honest, Master, I also accidentally saw it in a journal. At that time, I thought it was novel and wanted to find a chance to try it. Unexpectedly, it tasted pretty good."
Zhang Zheng nodded.
"It's really unique. Based on my experience of eating this bowl of pork belly and chicken, it should be more suitable for people with weak constitutions and depleted Qi and blood. It is especially suitable for pregnant women and the frail and elderly people." He put down the bowl in his hand. "Of course, it's completely fine for normal people to eat."
Chu Yue smiled and looked at Zhang Zheng.
"Master is really amazing. He can judge the effectiveness of pork belly and chicken by eating it."
Zhang Zheng laughed.
"My teacher's mouth is not only for tasting food, but also for tasting medicinal materials. After so many years, I have definitely developed some skills."
Chu Yue stuffed a piece of firewood into the stove.
"Master, there is a sentence in the solitary book that I have never thought through."
Zhang Zheng nodded, "You say."
"Yang transforms into Qi, and Yin takes shape." Chu Yue raised her head and looked at Zhang Zheng, "I never had the chance to ask Master before, but I just remembered."
Zhang Zheng had a smile on his face.
"The so-called yang transforms qi and yin takes shape. It's just a term. I haven't told you about it before, so it's normal that you don't understand it. When yang moves, it disperses, so it changes into qi. When yin is still, it condenses, so it takes shape. It mainly talks about the interdependence between things. The relationship with each other is the same as ice melting into water and water condensing into ice.”
Chu Yue listened carefully.
"I understand, thank you Master."
She is relatively proficient in hearing, hearing, and feeling, but Chinese medicine involves yin, yang, and five elements. The latter things are really difficult to figure out.
Most doctors only know the first half of medical skills.
Some are even not very proficient in the first half.
Wang Xuelan, who was picking vegetables at the side, listened to the conversation between the master and the apprentice, as if she was listening to a book from heaven. She knew what each word meant when taken apart. When put together, her mind was like porridge boiling in a pot. It became a paste.
She couldn't help but admire Chu Yue.
This girl can actually understand such difficult things at such a young age.
Sure enough, not everyone can learn the craft of doctoring, especially doctors with excellent medical skills.
At least in her opinion, Chu Yue's medical skills were already very good.
As for Zhang Zheng, that is even more immeasurable.
"Yueyue, the two dishes in the pot are almost ready to be served. You go and set the dishes. I'll take care of the remaining two side dishes."
