"Oh, why are you playing football? You can't even score a goal like this. It's really useless. I'm more useful than you."
In the VIP box, the little guys were watching very seriously. They cheered when a goal was scored and were almost furious when the goal was lost. Even though they are still young, they are all already fans, often on weekends.
Come to watch a football match.
As for Liu Jin, he was very leisurely, watching the game and eating fruit.
"Well, the fruits from the Western Regions are sweet and delicious, such as these grapes, this honeydew melon, and this apple."
"Eat more, it's good for your skin."
While Liu Jin was eating, he didn't forget to give some to Xu Waner and Li Zhen.
"The fruits today are still better. They all come from the Western Regions, but they are still fresh when they arrive in the capital, and the prices are much cheaper now than before."
"I also want those fruits from Southeast Asia. The durian is really delicious."
Xu Waner also likes to eat fruits, because Liu Jin has always said that eating fruits is good for the body and skin, so she also likes to eat them, especially durian from Nanyang.
Well, I can't tell at all, the taste is still very strong.
But good durian tastes really good. Liu Jin didn't eat it at first, but after trying it once, he also fell in love with durian.
The price of this thing in later generations is very expensive. A durian looks big, but in fact there is not much meat, but the price is not cheap. It costs one or two hundred casually. This is the most common durian. The price of a good durian.
It’s really expensive, and ordinary working-class people still can’t bear to eat it often.
It's different now.
Because most of the entire Nanyang area belongs to the Ming Dynasty, the four provinces of Nanyang, there are countless plantations in them. Now, in addition to growing sugar cane and rubber, there are also many plantations growing fruit, including durian.
of.
With its own tropical planting area, durians do not need to be imported, and people in the Ming Dynasty can truly enjoy the freedom of durians. Although the price of durians is still not cheap, it is not as expensive as later generations, and ordinary people can also enjoy it.
As for wealthy people like Liu Jin, he has several large-scale fruit plantations in Nanyang, one of which specializes in cultivating and growing durians. Not only does he produce a large amount, but he also specializes in cultivating more delicious durians.
, even if you eat it every day, you will never be able to finish it.
"nice shot!"
At this moment, a player from the Sangong team fired a heavy shot from a long distance directly into the local gate. Liu Jin couldn't help but shout out.
As for the stadium, it suddenly turned into a sea of cheers. Fans who supported the San Gong team, or people who bought the San Gong team to win, all shouted excitedly.
This is the charm of football. You must go to the stadium to see it in person. After feeling the atmosphere, you will soon become a fan.
For this era that lacks entertainment projects, the emergence of football will inevitably become popular quickly.
Its charm is unparalleled, and more importantly, gambling is completely legal here in Ming Dynasty, the courses are openly used as bankers, and the income is one of the most important incomes.
Naturally, it became even more popular.
"I really don't understand why you men like football. It's just a ball being kicked around. If there's nothing interesting to watch, you might as well go to a big show."
Seeing Liu Jin's excitement, Xu Waner shook her head slightly and said.
A man's happiness is a bit incomprehensible.
"You don't understand this. Football is a team game. Only when the team cooperates with each other can they win better. Look at the ball just now."
"Stealing the ball in front of his own goal, then counterattacking quickly like flowing water, and finally bombarding with great force and hitting the target with one strike. How wonderful and beautiful."
"This looks so comfortable, like art."
"There's really not much to see about singing opera. It seems that I can memorize the opera scores and routines, and I can also write operas."
As soon as Liu Jin heard this, he immediately began to explain it to Xu Waner incessantly.
"Forget it, I don't understand even if I tell you. Just look at how engrossed the children are in watching it. They also like it very much."
After talking for a while, Liu Jin felt that he was playing the piano a little bit, shook his head slightly, and then picked up his binoculars to watch the ball.
The game was exciting, the offense between the two sides was very fierce, and the entire stadium was filled with cheers following the attack between the two sides.
"Ma Dan, why are the national football teams of later generations always not good?"
"This definitely does not mean that the Chinese people are not good. It is mainly a matter of the system."
"In later generations, football is a game for the rich. Only those with money can afford to play football. People from ordinary families simply cannot afford to play football. It's strange that this football is good."
Liu Jin's is a relish, and football has not been around for long.
But the level of football in Ming Dynasty is already quite high, and the players on the football field are all quite good. The key is that they play with great energy, very hard, and very hard.
This reminded Liu Jin of football in his past and past lives. Every time he watched a football match, he wanted to smash the TV. He got very angry when he watched them play.
Losing is still secondary. The key is that they are very good at making excuses after losing.
What venue is not good, what weather is not good, what is the lack of home field advantage, there is a huge difference between having a home court and not being there, what is the sea cucumber that is not good to eat, you need to eat imported sea cucumber, etc.
In short, wherever there is football, it is just a group of young men playing casually. It is strange to be able to play well. The key is that each of these people has an annual salary of tens of millions.
With a population of more than one billion, how can we rely on naturalized players to play football?
Damn it, it’s so irritating just thinking about it, it’s not like it’s going to make a billion people’s faces turn red.
Looking at now, although the population of the Beijing-Tianjin region is very large, the total population is less than 20 million people. However, even with these less than 20 million people, there are a lot of football talents emerging here.
The players of the two teams that are playing are of extremely high standard. You can see that they are very good at stopping the ball, dribbling, passing, etc.
What is more important is the spirit of the players on both sides, who dare to fight, dare to grab, and fight hard, instead of being like those in later generations who have no spirit, no sense of honor and disgrace, and get angry just looking at them.
So Liu Jin finally understood that when it comes to playing football, it’s not the Chinese who can’t do it, it’s the people of later generations who can’t play football to death, and there’s no hope anymore.
Of course, this is also related to the environment of later generations. The population of later generations is large, and the land is small. The football field occupies a large area, which makes it difficult to build. Once built, it is really not something ordinary people can afford. Only the rich can afford it.
But it is different now. Ming Dynasty is a vast land with sparsely populated areas. It is very easy to build a football field. Just flatten a piece of land and children can play football. Naturally, many football talents will be born.
In addition, there are no entertainment projects now. Football has become an important entertainment project. It is very popular, the income is still very good, and there are many people playing football.
The level of football is naturally high!
"It's better than the Ming Dynasty now, it's so comfortable!"
While watching, Liu Jin also sighed, it was not in vain that he had worked hard for many years, and he finally felt comfortable in every aspect.
Watching football matches, eating fruits from all over the world, surrounded by my wife and children, this little life is so exciting.
"Um?"
When watching the football game, Liu Jin would also take a telescope and look around.
At this time, Liu Jin's eyes rested on an old European man. He was not watching a football match at this moment, but actually drawing a picture of the lively match scene at the stadium.
Using a telescope to look at his paintings carefully, even a layman like Liu Jin could tell that his skills were quite high, and he even perfectly painted the scene of a football match.
"There are actually European painters coming to our Ming Dynasty, and they are quite old."
"I don't know if he is a famous painter in history. Otherwise, you can go see him and ask for a painting to keep as a collection."
Liu Jin laughed.
As the Ming Empire grew stronger, exchanges with other parts of the world became more and more frequent. It was normal to see foreigners from all over the world in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Even among the wealthy families in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, many of them bought a lot of female white slaves for their own use. Some ordinary families even took in a large number of concubines, and the source of the concubines was white slaves, basically from Europe.
.
In addition, there are a large number of people who come to the Ming Dynasty to study, do business, and travel. In particular, many people come to the Ming Dynasty to learn the medicine, technology, craftsmanship, etc. of the Ming Dynasty.
This also means that it is not surprising to see foreigners in the capital of Ming Dynasty.
However, this European who could draw was still an old man with a white beard. Only then did Liu Jin notice him.
Of course Liu Jin didn't know that the man painting on the court was Leonardo da Vinci who came from Europe. After staying in Songhu for a while, he went to Nanjing, then took a train to Beijing and Tianjin, and came to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
I heard that football is very popular, so I came to have a look, and then I drew it in the form of a painting, preparing to take it back to Europe to show everyone every bit of the Ming Dynasty.
