Li Qieyou accompanied Li Er to a spacious hall in the theater, which aroused Li Er's interest again.
"Ziyou, what are these tables in this hall for?"
Li secondhand refers to those tables. If there are people passing through, it is natural to know at a glance that they are several billiards tables.
To be exact, some snooker tables.
Naturally, this is a new thing made by Li forgetful.
Billiards is actually very simple to make. Billiards in Europe has a history of at least 600 years, so it's not difficult for Li forgetful to find craftsmen to make it.
The club and table of billiards table are easy to make. Directly let the craftsman lay the stone with polished and flat stones, and then lay a layer of flannelette, so as to have a smooth, flat and high-quality table without deformation.
The only ones that cost a lot are the billiards on the table.
At first, the billiards ball was also made of wood. Later, the billiards ball made of ivory appeared. Finally, in modern times, it was made of synthetic resin.
Li QIAOYOU, a "local tyrant", couldn't see wooden billiards. With a big hand, he took out a lot of copper money, asked people to buy Ivory everywhere, and made a batch of billiards out of ivory.
Snooker needs to use one white ball, fifteen red balls and six colored balls, a total of 22 balls.
One piece of ivory can only make five billiards. Only one snooker needs at least three elephant tusks to be made. Moreover, billiards require high quality, roundness and the same weight of each ball. Therefore, Li forgot to spend less money for this batch of ivory billiards.
Fortunately, there is no animal protectionism now, otherwise Li forget worry's extravagant practice will be criticized by many people.
However, Li forgot to worry about this, but he didn't feel guilty about it. Anyway, even if he didn't use these ivory, the elephants would still be slaughtered by Europeans in the future.
After all, in history, European nobles slaughtered at least 10000 elephants every year for ivory billiards. In comparison, Li forgets to worry about using so little ivory, but it is nothing more than a small Witch.
As for whether he brought this billiard to Datang, it would attract the dignitaries of Datang to follow suit and hunt those poor elephants, Li forgets worry.
Li forgets worry. In fact, he is not very proficient in billiards, but he is bored in Datang. Naturally, he wants to have fun for himself. This cost a lot of money and asked craftsmen to build these billiards tables.
For Li Er's question, Li forgot to worry and explained the rules of billiards with a smile: "uncle, this is a billiards ball made by my nephew. The playing method is very simple. Hit the white ball with a club, let the white ball hit other balls, and shoot it down in the four corners of the table and the holes on both sides to score. The scores of balls of different colors are different, one point for the red ball and two points for the yellow ball..."
Li forgot to worry while explaining, took the club and demonstrated it to Li Er and others. After his explanation, Li Er and his eldest son Wuji became interested.
"Ziyou, it's very interesting. It's similar to chuiwan. Come on, how about playing a game with me?" Li Er understood Li forgetful's explanation, immediately waved to someone to hand over the club, learned Li forgetful's posture, and lay down on the table.
In this regard, Li Qieyou naturally wouldn't refuse. He motioned to the handmaid serving on one side to arrange the ball on the table for them. He made an invitation gesture to Li Er and invited Li Er to kick off.
In later generations, Li forgets worry. Although he is not good at billiards, he is at least familiar. Against Li Er, such a "rookie", he was naturally comfortable. After a inning of snooker, he won quite easily.
This aroused Li Er's competitive heart. Unexpectedly, he pulled Li forget his worries and asked to continue.
The holy master has a life, and Li forgets worry. Naturally, he can't help it. However, he didn't leave any favor for Li Er. He was so angry that Li Er's face turned black when he went to the next city.
Therefore, Li forgets his worries and wants to continue to show off his "ball skills". Li Er politely drives him off the table and replaces his greedy eldest sun Wuji to play with him.
The result is self-evident. Vegetables and chickens peck at each other. Li Er, who has experience in two innings, narrowly won the eldest sun Wuji and finally laughed happily.
"Yes, it's very interesting. Mito, bring me a billiard table back to the palace!"
Li Er was also not polite at all. He didn't even say hello to Li forgetful, so he turned his head and ordered Mituo beside him.
Li forgets worry and almost gets angry, but he has nothing to say. He can only secretly accuse shameless Li Er in his heart. Is there any royal law to rob other people's property so openly?
But even if he had another opinion, he could only hold it in his heart. After all, the world is big, and Li Er is the biggest
Li Er became addicted to billiards and visited the Datang theater with Li forgetful. He was very interested in all entertainment and leisure facilities, and praised Li forgetful again and again.
It was not until noon that Li forgot to worry that he ordered his maidservant and servant to invite those big men who had a good time to dinner.
In the theater, there are many boxes with different decorations, which are specially used to entertain guests.
Li Qieyou respectfully invited Li Er and others to a box called "Dongfeng Pavilion".
Li Er looked at the three words "Dongfeng Pavilion" on the box and asked curiously, "Ziyou, what is Dongfeng pavilion?"
Li Qieyou was waiting for Li Er to ask this. He immediately coughed and said in a loud voice, "uncle, this is from a poem. Uncle will know as soon as he hears it."
"Oh? Read it."
"The sun, moonlight and heaven are virtuous, and the mountains and rivers are home to the strong emperor. Peace can't be rewarded, and I'm willing to seal the book in the East." Li forgetful immediately read the poem shamelessly, but Li Er couldn't help being stunned, and the eldest sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other big men behind him looked strange.
It's not surprising that people have such expressions. It's really that Li forgets worry's poem is too shameless.
Li forgot that this poem was written by Chen Shubao, the late leader of the northern and Southern Dynasties, in order to flatter Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty after he became a prisoner.
Dongfeng book refers to Fengchan book.
Chen Shubao's poem is eulogizing Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, saying that he should go to Mount Tai to become a Buddhist.
Li forgets worry and shamelessly flatters Li Er with this poem, which makes everyone look so strange.
"Uncle, now the world is peaceful because of my uncle's sage spirit. Now everything in the Tang Dynasty is renewed and prosperous. All the people sincerely worship my uncle. My uncle is the son of heaven and has made contributions to the three emperors and five emperors. My nephew thinks my uncle can afford the East seal letter! So I boldly named this pavilion the East seal Pavilion."
In fact, Li Er never became a Buddhist in his whole life.
However, at this time, Li Er was in his prime of life. He naturally yearned for Fengchan Mount Tai.
Li forgot to worry about these naked flattery words, which made Li Er very useful. But he didn't have a good interface. He just coughed: "Ziyou has a heart."
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others are not as shameless as Li forgetful. They are not easy to answer this topic. They can only follow Li Er with a dry smile into this "Dongfeng Pavilion"
