Back to modern times, when I opened my eyes, I saw that it was still midnight here. The clock didn't seem to move, and it seemed that it had gone for a minute. Lu Cheng couldn't tell the time when he fell asleep, so he couldn't make a strict determination.
He knew that the jade ring had the effect of preserving freshness, and the muskwort collected before was still green and had not withered, so he was not worried about the animal bones rotting.
Although it was late at night, he was not sleepy, so he turned on his computer and thought about how to sign up to participate in marathons across the country.
Because he shined in the Quancheng Marathon and broke the national record, it became easier to participate in other marathons without having to draw lots.
He signed up for five races in Hangzhou, Xiamen, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Fuma, all in November and December.
These are all competitions in the south. Due to the cold weather in northern cities, this year’s competitions have ended.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng quietly studied "The Great Witch Chant" and stayed up all night without talking.
The next day I went to the hospital for internship and changed to the gynecology department.
It seems a little awkward for young male doctors to practice in gynecology, but this is a step that general practitioners must go through.
There is no need to elaborate on the content of the internship. There are many abortions. Seeing the painful expressions of young women one after another, Lu Cheng felt a lot in his heart: "Oh, it's not easy to be a woman. If you have a normal childbirth, it would be hard to bear the pain."
That’s all. Pity these people who have suffered extra..."
He had no right to blame women, let alone men. He could only sigh.
At noon, he received a call from the Daicheng Sports Bureau: "Hello, Lu Cheng, our bureau learned that you participated in the Quancheng Marathon and broke the national record. We would like to call you to congratulate you! Please come to the Track and Field Management Center when you are free.
Fill out some forms."
Lu Cheng asked: "What form should I fill out?"
"You need to register with the Athletics Association to participate in the professional marathon. In addition, I also want to invite you to participate in the 10,000-meter test."
"Okay, what time do you get off work?"
"Get off work at half past five."
"Then I'll be there at five o'clock."
Lu Cheng thought to himself: "Whether I want to participate in the 10,000-meter race is another matter. Since I have decided to participate in the marathon, I can only register."
At 5 o'clock, he appeared on time at the Track and Field Sports Management Center of the Municipal Sports Bureau and received a warm reception.
For a civil servant working in a sports bureau in a small city, whether he can get promoted depends on whether he can produce results. To achieve results, he must have high-level athletes.
Before this, there were very few national-level athletes in Daicheng, let alone top talents who broke national records.
Now a dark horse suddenly appears, so you must take good care of it!
After some patient inspiration and persuasion, Lu Cheng finally agreed to participate in the 10,000-meter test.
The other party also wanted to persuade Lu Cheng to participate in vocational training, but Lu Cheng refused to agree.
"I am an amateur athlete and I have no intention of improving my skills. Everything depends on my performance, and it depends on how well I run."
"Without good technique, it is easy to get injured."
"I am a student of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and I know my physical condition."
"Okay, let's talk about this later."
After filling out a few forms and going through the formalities, Lu Cheng was considered a registered athlete.
Lu Cheng returned home and found that no one was home.
He took out two small pieces of tiger bones and a small piece of antelope bone, broke them with the back of a knife, opened the refrigerator, and saw a few pieces of pig bones inside, so he took them out, threw them into the pressure cooker, and added some pepper, aniseed, ginger, and cooking wine.
Start making soup and use the rice cooker to cook rice.
He still has these simple cooking skills. These days, as long as you are willing, what cooking skills can't be learned? There are various tutorials on the Internet, just follow the instructions.
Only a quarter of an hour later, Lu Xinyuan's cheerful laughter was heard.
Then mother Rao Yuqiu entered the house and asked: "Son, what are you cooking?"
Lu Cheng replied: "I made bone soup, Mom, would you like to stir-fry some vegetables?"
"Okay, wait while I change clothes." Taking off his professional clothes and changing into casual clothes, Rao Yuqiu walked into the kitchen.
By the time Lu Tianming came in at 7 o'clock, dinner had already been prepared.
During the meal, Lu Cheng drank half the pot of soup.
At first, the family didn’t pay attention. When the bones were fished out, Lu Tianming suddenly looked startled and asked, “What kind of bones are these?”
Lu Cheng smiled and said: "Pig bones, otherwise, what else could they be?"
"No, even though it's just a bone fragment, I know it's not a pork bone. I bought the pork bone over the weekend. I don't know what it looks like?"
The key is that he is an archaeological expert. Although he mainly studies ancient characters, ancient pottery, and porcelain, he is also proficient in paleontology. Various bones are often unearthed in tombs, mainly human bones, but also animals used for sacrifice, such as pigs and cows.
There were bones of sheep, dogs, and horses in the pit, so he could easily detect abnormalities. But because the bones were broken by Lu Cheng, he couldn't tell at a glance.
Lu Cheng smiled and said: "Dad, if you drink another bowl and more soup, you can strengthen your muscles and bones and prolong your life!"
Lu Tianming took out another bone from the pot, put it together with the one in the bowl, looked at it for a while, and said: "This seems to be a tail bone. It's hard to identify what kind of animal it is. It looks like the saber-toothed tiger unearthed from Wuling Tomb."
Where’s the tailbone?”
Rao Yuqiu patted the table lightly: "What are you talking about? Can the bones unearthed from the tomb be used to make soup? Are you old and confused?"
"Ahem, I said it looks like a tiger bone, so it definitely didn't come from a tomb. Bones tens of thousands of years ago have no organic matter, so how can they carry tendons and fascia?"
"That's impossible! The saber-toothed tiger has long been extinct!"
Lu Cheng drank the soup silently.
Lu Xinyuan doesn't like to drink soup, so she holds the pig bones in her little hands and gnaws them.
Lu Tianming wanted to take the tiger bones to the office and look through the information for comparison.
However, just after eating, the bones were thrown into the trash can by Lu Cheng. Even the garbage in the house was cleaned up and thrown into the big trash can outside the building.
At such an old age and usually polite, Lu Tianming couldn't possibly jump in to pick up trash, so he had to give up.
That night, he practiced "Flying Dragon Kick" and "White Ape Arm" and felt that his limbs were slightly warm, which seemed a little different from the past.
Lu Cheng was practicing "Carrying the Cauldron" in the house.
After practicing for a while, he felt that the effect of empty training was limited, so he walked out of the house, walked across a street, and entered the gym closest to his home.
The person in charge of reception at Kou Kou was a young girl with two braided braids, square glasses, and some freckles on the bridge of her nose. When she saw Lu Cheng coming in, she quickly greeted him warmly: "Brother, are you applying for a card or a timer?
”
Lu Cheng said: "Let me take a look first, okay?"
"Brother, please come in. Our 'Dream Bear' gym is small in scale, has no swimming pool, and no track and field track, but it has its own characteristics. We specialize in weightlifting and build body shape through weightlifting exercises. We have a variety of barbells
and pulleys. Our curator Zhao Mengxiong is a retired national team member who once won the runner-up in weightlifting at the National Games... He is also a professional weightlifting coach who is connected with the Municipal Sports Bureau Weightlifting Competition Center..."
Lu Cheng took a general look and found that the other party was right. All kinds of equipment were basically available, so he said: "Then I choose to apply for a card. I will come here for half a year and renew it later."
"Okay, do you want to invite a sparring partner and a professional coach?"
"No, I'll try it myself."
"There are people who will provide guidance before using each equipment..."
