After taking a bath, it was already noon.
Bai Qi found a nearby foot shop and had a box meal with the comfortable shrimp head.
The name sounds fancy, but it's actually pork elbows, pork belly, pork liver, etc. from the cooked meat shop, baked in a few large pancakes and wrapped in it. For a more sophisticated dish, the cured duck and smoked chicken are sliced into thin slices and served with shredded green onions to relieve greasiness. .
Because it can be packed in food boxes and delivered to your door, it is called "box food".
"Rich families live a comfortable life. They stay in their rooms in the cold weather and eat takeaways around the stove."
Bai Qi wiped his mouth. The food box in this shop was quite exquisitely designed and was called "Warm Plate".
It is divided into two layers. The material is porcelain, thin on the top and thick on the bottom, with an empty middle. When using, pour hot water into the interlayer to keep the food from getting cold and still keep it warm when you eat it.
The details are in place, so the business is very good. Many big businesses in the inner city order food here, and many servants and servants are waiting in line at the door.
When the waiter called, they would pick up their food boxes and run away. They had to be careful about spilling juice, otherwise they would make too much of a mess and would be scolded and punished by their master.
After chatting with the shrimp head for a while, Bai Qi braved the cold wind and walked to Tongwen Hall. Today's unprecedented harvest made his fishing skills improve dramatically.
"The 22-pound golden rainbow trout among them is quite powerful. If we do it a few more times, it will probably reach the level of success soon."
When I first came to this world, I found myself struggling, and I had to figure out everything.
Only when you learn how to cast a net, mix bait, and sail a boat can you master fishing and get started with the skills.
Instead, just take it easy in the future, gain insights and find the direction, go down to the river to fish step by step, and wait for the harvest.
The weather is getting colder these days, and the dense snow particles fall on the eaves tiles like salt, making a crisp and clear sound.
"It's freezing cold, and winter is about to begin."
Bai Qi tightened his collar to cover his neck, thinking that two months ago he was still worrying about how to get through the end of the year so as not to sit back and be left in vain.
Nowadays, the fish stall can earn more than a thousand taels of silver on the opening day. Young men from all walks of life come to support and call themselves brothers and sisters.
“Once all the stumbling stones are kicked away, the road can be made wider and smoother.”
Bai Qi felt at ease and soon entered the gate of Tongwen Hall.
I don’t know what the rules are, but this grand mansion is open all year round and almost never closes in the morning or evening.
Lao Dao is the only one guarding the place, and there are no cooks, no helpers, or any handymen. How can he take care of it?
"Uncle Dao, I passed by a roasted seed shop when I came here and couldn't help but buy a few kilograms. You can share some with me."
The opening of a fish stall is a happy event, so naturally you can't go empty-handed. Bai Qi took some snacks and gave them to the old man wearing a mink hat guarding the door.
Many feelings are accumulated over time and gradually precipitate.
"Old Liangtou was half as smart as you back then, so he wouldn't have been so fooled by Yang Meng."
Lao Dao did not refuse and took it with a smile. He smelled faintly of alcohol. He must have just had a few drinks.
"I thought Mr. Qi was busy with the fish stall business today and wouldn't come to the door. Unexpectedly, he was willing to spend his money and come here in the wind and snow."
Bai Qi chuckled:
"The purpose of making money is to better practice Qigong. How can you not understand the importance of it?"
There was a hint of approval in Lao Dao's eyes. Many children from poor backgrounds may not be able to see through this.
A lot of money rolled into the pocket, and the feeling of relief was much stronger than the energy of beating.
"The young master is reading in Dezhen Building. Xiao Qi, please come over quickly. When winter comes, you may not see anyone there."
"Is Master Ning going to the mountain again?"
Bai Qi asked.
The instructor's whereabouts are always elusive. If he hadn't taken on a new disciple and needed some patience to give him guidance, he might have left Heihe County long ago.
"Young Master, he doesn't like liveliness. The closer the New Year is, the more he needs to stay away from fireworks."
With a smile in his eyes, Lao Dao grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them in his hand:
"Xiao Qiye has good fighting skills, his muscles are full and strong, and his body is straight and strong.
Among the five types of capture, Dragon Movement Palm is the most suitable to learn, and it should be taught today. "
Bai Qi's heart felt a little hot, and he crossed the vestibule and went straight to Dezhen Building.
Dao Bo mentioned to him several times the famous name of Tongwen Hall's five great captures.
It is said that it is a fist and kick skill that is far superior to all the martial arts in Heihe County.
Dezhen Tower has a total of two floors, nestled between pavilions and terraces. The courtyard is lush and decorated with flowers and plants.
Bai Qi passed through the stone coupon arch and looked up to see Ning Haichan's figure.
It was still the same robe with a sky blue cloud pattern, the doors and windows on all sides were wide open, the air-conditioning was pouring in, and a lot of snow particles were rolled in.
"Teacher, you don't feel cold when you read like this..."
The corners of Bai Qi's mouth twitched, a little difficult to understand.
He felt that after staying for a moment and a half, it would be time to circulate his energy and blood to resist the cold.
"Come up."
Ning Haichan's voice seemed to be condensed into a thin line and passed straight into his ears.
"yes."
Bai Qi responded and stepped into the building quickly.
The second floor is relatively less spacious, with only a row of unfilled bookshelves standing against the wall.
There are also collections of various landscape paintings and famous calligraphy.
Ning Hai was lying on a bamboo mat in Zen, with agarwood burning in the copper stove.
It has the air of a laid-back hermit who only wakes up from a deep nap in the afternoon on a hot summer day.
Unfortunately, it was almost late autumn, the vegetation was yellow and withered, and the cold wind was blowing, making the whole house look like an ice cellar.
"My master has found the complete book of the health-preserving skills you are practicing. Take it and take a look to see if you can learn it."
Ning Haichan raised his hand and pointed. There were pens, ink, paper, inkstones and a pile of papers on the low table.
"The rhinoceros looks at the moon, the phoenix spreads its wings, the mountain lifts the cauldron...are these the last three moves of the golden elixir's great power?"
Bai Qi took a quick glance and saw that the pictures and texts were both clear and clear, but... why was the ink not dry?
"Your health-preserving skill is a combination of medicine and martial arts. The Qi and blood you practice are very strong. Seven to eight points are nourishing the fascia, flesh and blood, so it is gentle and slow. I am really surprised that you can advance so quickly.
Although this is a neutral and peaceful approach that won't cause any problems, it is a waste of time and energy.
The teacher still thinks that he can break through the bone training before he is twenty years old, so how can he waste his time in vain? "
Ning Haichan stood up and sat down like a monk:
"So, I changed it a bit and came up with three new moves for you."
Bai Qi's eyes twitched, Master, are you so casual?
You must know that if you practice martial arts indiscriminately, your Qi will move incorrectly.
It can range from hemiplegia to paralysis, to obsession!
"Hey, you don't believe in your ability as a master? Haha, even if the founder of this martial art comes face to face, he probably won't be able to defeat me, so he can only be convinced.
After reading the full article, only the four words "nurturing internally and strengthening externally" are worth mentioning, and the rest are all nonsense. "
Ning Haichan frowned slightly, as if he had never thought that his martial arts knowledge could be doubted by his apprentice.
"The master's writing is of course very precise and well-written. I just feel that it is so lucky for a mere health-preserving skill to be simplified by the master and further improve its quality."
Bai Qi saw the opportunity very quickly and took the words without changing his expression.
"Yes, disciples of Tongwen Hall should have a sense of awe for their predecessors, but they should also have the ambition to transcend.
I first learned boxing when I was twelve years old. When I was fifteen years old, I felt that those practitioners who were praised by martial arts had very few real talents.
Most of the exercises in the whole building were collected from elsewhere. Only those that can be put on my bookshelf are considered worthy of merit. "
Ning Haichan's tone was not arrogant, but every word was extremely crazy.
"The three complementary moves are very good for you to think about. They are very beneficial to your strength and perfecting your golden muscles and jade collaterals.
In addition, I will teach you the Dragon Movement Palm among the five types of capture. If you can master it after this year, and use it to crush the first whetstone, you will be my direct descendant, Ning Haichan. "
Bai Qi bowed and obeyed the order, cursing in his heart:
"A fifteen-year-old martial arts prodigy beat up a group of old men. How many people should be offended by this... No wonder, master, you went to Heihe County."
