Although it is known from the plot that Ip Man is now in poverty, his wife is pregnant and cannot work, he teaches Wing Chun and has no students, and he can't even pay the rent, Hao Shuai always thought that he acted like this just because of the needs of the plot. After all, Ip Man is a second-generation rich man, and he has some savings.
Now looking at Ye Wen's face and expression, Hao Shuai knew that Ye Wen must really be in poverty.
However, Ye Wen's poverty is a good thing for Hao Shuai. After all, what Hao Shuai lacks most is money.
If money could be used to learn Ye Wen's unique skills, Hao Shuai would have liked to throw the money in front of Ye Wen on the spot.
"Master, your Wing Chun is so good, but you only charge five yuan a month for tuition?" After asking that the tuition was only five yuan, Hao Shuai felt sorry for Ip Man's worth and took the initiative to help Ip Man raise the price: "Too It’s cheap! Why don’t you charge more?”
"No, no, five yuan is enough. It's too expensive, and no one will spend money to learn martial arts," Ye Wen refused.
Hao Shuai made sense when he thought about it. Although five yuan a month was nothing to him, the current economic downturn meant that a senior clerk's monthly salary was only 300 yuan. Five yuan was enough for a family's food expenses for a day.
If the fees are too high, no one will come to learn boxing, and it is impossible for Ip Man to only accept himself as an apprentice.
Hao Shuai handed the two hundred yuan directly to Ye Wen from his trouser pocket.
"This is?" Looking at the money in his hand, Ye Wen was a little stunned and didn't understand what Hao Shuai meant.
"Master, this is the tuition fee I paid for three years." Hao Shuai explained.
When Ye Wen heard that Hao Shuai had to pay three years of tuition at once, he quickly refused and said: "You don't have to pay that much at once, you can pay it monthly."
"Master, I have been having sex for three years at a time to show that I will not give up halfway and to show my determination to learn boxing." When Hao Shuai said this, he bent one knee and cupped his hands and said: "At the same time, I also implore Master to learn the essence of Wing Chun. Pass it on to your disciples.”
Ye Wen was deeply moved by Hao Shuai's "determination" (money skills). He quickly stepped forward to help Hao Shuai up and said happily: "Okay, if you want to learn, I will teach you with my heart. Let's start learning boxing now."
Seeing Ye Wen accept the money, Hao Shuai breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Master, I'm going to take care of my personal affairs first. Come over and learn boxing tomorrow morning."
"That's okay, you can just come up tomorrow!" Ye Wen saw that Hao Shuai had something to do, so he didn't force it. It happened to be not too late, so he could go back and tell his wife about his apprenticeship and make money, so that she would also be happy.
"Thank you, Master."
After bidding farewell to Ip Man and walking off the rooftop, Hao Shuai called a rickshaw and went to the nearby police station to apply for household registration in Xiangjiang. At this time, the household registration management in Xiangjiang was very loose. No matter where you were from, you could get a local household registration immediately as long as you went to the local police station to register. This policy lasted until the 1970s before it was abolished.
The reason why Hao Shuai specially applied for household registration was to buy real estate in Xiangjiang. After all, he has to stay for several months and cannot stay in a hotel all the time. Moreover, Hao Shuai is not very confident about the current standard of hotels in Kowloon City. He feels that it is more convenient to just buy a house.
After leaving the police station, Hao Shuai sold a batch of jewelry in several locations. After having money, Hao Shuai bought a 90-square-meter furnished house on Yonglong Street through an intermediary that could be moved in directly.
After giving the intermediary a 20-yuan benefit, the intermediary enthusiastically hired a cleaner for Hao Shuai and bought daily necessities and bedding for Hao Shuai.
Hao Shuai didn't plan to buy kitchen supplies. He planned to find the chef to eat and drink. It seemed that the chef's wife Zhang Yongcheng had good cooking skills.
In addition, Hao Shuai also bought several sets of clothes from this era in clothing stores for daily wear and martial arts training.
After finishing all this work, Hao Shuai ate a large bowl of noodles downstairs, went home, exercised his telekinesis, and went to bed.
…
Although Hao Shuai is usually lazy, as long as he decides to do something, he will try his best to do it best.
So early in the morning, as soon as it was dark, Hao Shuai did not stay in bed as usual, but got up from the bed, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and settled the tub.
After finishing cleaning, Hao Shuai left the house and ate breakfast at the breakfast stall downstairs, and packed one for Ye Wen.
When they got to the rooftop, Hao Shuai saw that Ye Wen was already driving wooden mannequins there.
"Xiao Shuai, you're here!" Ye Wen smiled broadly when he saw Hao Shuai.
He couldn't bear to smile. Last night, he just met the landlord who came to collect the rent. At that time, the money in his wife Zhang Yongcheng's hand was not enough to pay the rent. Fortunately, Hao Shuai saved the urgent need with two hundred yuan. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to deal with it. That situation.
It can be said that Hao Shuai saved Ip Wen's dignity, so facing Hao Shuai, Ip Wen was naturally a little grateful and happy.
Hao Shuai sympathized with this man. It was a misfortune of the times that poverty forced a martial arts master to this point.
"Good morning, Master." Hao Shuai smiled and said, "I've packed breakfast for you."
"I've already eaten, thank you, Xiaoshuai!" Ye Wen said sincerely.
Hao Shuai thought that what Ye Wen thanked was his breakfast, but only Ye Wen knew that what he thanked was Hao Shuai's tuition.
…
"Xiao Shuai, before I formally learn Wing Chun, let me introduce to you what Wing Chun is," Ip Man said.
Wing Chun is a very scientific and man-made boxing technique, and its strength lies in body-embracing fighting.
It has fast punches and tight defense, flexible horse steps and fast up and down, both offense and defense and at the same time, focusing on both hardness and softness, and consuming less energy. Wing Chun uses a force method called "inch strength" to attack and defend.
In terms of theory and mental techniques, we focus on the center line, burying the body, chasing the enemy face to face, taking care of both left and right, staying and sending, rushing straight away, etc., to attack and defend in the shortest distance and time.
The main hand styles of this boxing are Fengyan Boxing and Willow Leaf Palm. The main boxing routines include Xiaoniu, Xunqiao and Biaozhi, as well as wooden dummy.
The basic techniques are mainly three side hands, as well as holding hands, lifting hands, breaking hands, sinking bridges, and sticking. The main types of steps include Siping horse, three-character horse, chasing horse, kneeling horse, independent step, etc.
It is a boxing technique that combines internal boxing techniques and close combat. It is based on actual combat and has the main characteristics of changeable moves, flexible application, and flexibility in punching. It has a short bridge and a narrow horse, and is good at exerting force. It uses large sideways, small pitches, plowing and blocking, stroking, and assessing the situation. Lao, the technique of bending the hand to stay in the center, is marked by the body posture steps of overtaking, cutting, sinking, standardizing, shouldering, wrist-fingering, sticking, touching, ironing, stealing, leaking and "two-word pincer Yangma". An internal boxing technique that utilizes the sensitive feeling of the skin on the hand bridge to exert the power of every inch.
"Our Wing Chun! It combines offense and defense. One attack and one strike, to knock down the opponent in the shortest time."
"Look, this is a tanta."
"Continuously eliminate and hit, Japanese punch punch."
"do you understand?"
"..."
Ye Wen is a very competent master and very patient. He can patiently teach Hao Shuai what he doesn't understand and teach him over and over again.
Hao Shuai himself studied very seriously. Because I am not a stupid person, I can learn quickly. So the master was satisfied, and the apprentice was satisfied. In just half a day, the two developed some master-disciple friendship with each other.
Unconsciously, it was noon. Hao Shuai knew that Zhang Yongcheng would bring food to Ye Wen, so he said goodbye to Ye Wen first, went down to the rooftop to find a restaurant, and packed several meat dishes.
When Hao Shuai returned to the warehouse, he saw Ye Wen sitting on a chair eating. Next to him was a beautiful pregnant woman with a gentle temperament. There was a plate of green vegetables and a plate of fried eggs on the table.
Ye Wen saw Hao Shuai coming back and introduced him: "Xiao Shuai, this is your master wife Zhang Yongcheng. Yongcheng, this is my apprentice Hao Shuai."
After the introduction, Ye Wen asked again: "And haven't you gone back?"
"I went down to buy food. I didn't know that the master's wife would bring you food." Hao Shuai replied pretending not to know. "My wife happens to be here too, so let's eat together!"
After speaking, Hao Shuai took out the packaged roast goose, braised pig's trotters and barbecued pork and placed them on the table.
"Why is this so embarrassing? You'd better eat it yourself!" Ye Wen declined.
There is such a master with strong self-esteem and thin skin. If you want to be nice to him, you have to take his self-esteem into consideration at all times. Thinking about the drama in which Ip Man is too embarrassed to even collect tuition fees, and students who have no money to defer their studies, Hao Shuai is really kind-hearted. Tired!
"Master, I'm afraid I won't have enough food. I bought too much. How can I finish it all by myself? Wouldn't it be a pity to throw it away if I can't finish it! And you are my master. As the saying goes, 'Once a teacher, always a father' ', I respect you, isn't it a right thing to do?" Hao Shuai persuaded him seriously.
"Okay! I'll let you spend the money once." Seeing that Hao Shuai said this, Ye Wen could only agree.
"Come, Master, let's eat together. Please help me fill a bowl of rice! Thank you!" Hao Shuai said to Zhang Yongcheng.
"Xiao Shuai, here is your food." Fortunately, although Zhang Yongcheng was a woman, she was not as mother-in-law as Ye Wen. After serving Hao Shuai the meal, he started eating directly.
Hao Shuai took the meal and ate it with his head down. After all, he had been practicing all morning and was already hungry.
After the meal, Hao Shuai wanted to help Zhang Yongcheng clean up the dishes, but Zhang Yongcheng refused, and then was called by Ye Wen to continue explaining what Hao Shuai didn't understand just now.
When Zhang Yongcheng packed up the dishes and got off the rooftop, Hao Shuai said something to Ye Wen, then followed Zhang Yongcheng on the rooftop and caught up with him. He took out 300 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Yongcheng and said, "Master, you also know that I I came to Xiangjiang alone, I have no friends, I live alone, and I am too lazy to cook. I want to trouble my wife to buy an extra pair of chopsticks for lunch and dinner in the future. This is the food expense for this month."
"I should cook for you. I don't have to pay for it, and it's too much." Zhang Yongcheng declined.
"I should pay for the food, otherwise I will be embarrassed to eat in the future, and my wife also knows that I have a big appetite and like to eat meat, so I hope my wife can buy more meat."
"Okay then! I'll accept the money. Go back quickly!" Zhang Yongcheng took the money and said.
"Goodbye, Master Wife!"
For the next week, Hao Shuai learned Wing Chun from his master every day, and bought some fruits, cigarettes, and wine from time to time to honor his master and his wife. Ye Wen was very embarrassed and could only teach Hao Shuai with all his heart.
