The next day.
Chen Kang continued to look for small restaurants in Foshan to "cooperate".
Cooperating in a violent way is really annoying.
The road was chosen by Chen Kang himself.
If you want to rely on martial arts to make a living, just "fight".
If you can fight, you will have food to eat.
In the future, the owners of small restaurants will know that Chen Kang's cooperation is a wise choice.
Chen Kang came out of the tenth restaurant.
Liang Kuan was squatting outside. When he saw Chen Kang coming out, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Mr. Chen, are you going to the store to collect protection money?"
Chen Kang said: "Yes. If you don't accept cash, what will you eat?"
Liang Kuan said: "But..."
Chen Kang said: "But you can't force people to pay, right?"
When collecting cash in the restaurant, Chen Kang's attitude was indeed very tough.
What Liang Kuan didn't know was that cashiering was only the first step.
Next, it’s time to test Chen Kang’s ability.
If he cannot protect the ten restaurants, then Chen Kang will not be able to survive in Foshan.
Chen Kang said: "Liang Kuan, aren't you going to Baozhilin to become a disciple?"
Liang Kuan said: "I went to Baozhilin yesterday. Master Huang was not here."
Chen Kang said with a smile: "I went yesterday, so I don't need to go today? If I want to learn from my master, I have to go and stay at the gate of Baozhilin. I can always wait for Huang Feihong."
Liang Kuan remained silent.
I also wanted to squat outside Baozhilin, but my stomach wouldn't allow it.
Yesterday Chen Kang treated Liang Kuan to a full meal. Liang Kuan hasn't eaten breakfast today. It's noon now.
Seeing Chen Kang leaving.
Liang Kuan shouted: "Mr. Chen, I want to eat with you. I will do whatever you ask me to do. As long as I have a full stomach, I will be strong."
Chen Kang glanced at Liang Kuan, nodded and said, "Come with me."
When Liang Kuan saw Chen Kang's agreement, he immediately said excitedly: "Thank you, Mr. Chen."
Food is the most important thing for the people.
Eating is a top priority, no matter in which era, this is true.
Even in the 21st century, China still elevates food security to a national strategic level.
If people go crazy with hunger, they will really rebel.
Chen Kang took Liang Kuan to buy rice, noodles and vegetables.
Although Liang Kuan was still hungry, he was very energetic carrying rice, noodles and vegetables.
Liang Kuan said: "Mr. Chen, where are we going next? Aren't we going back?"
Chen Kang said: "Buy some meat."
If you want to practice martial arts, you can't do it without eating meat.
Just eating rice, noodles and vegetables will not make you hungry.
Come to the butcher shop.
The Fat Butcher caught Chen Kang's attention.
The fat man's technique is skillful and his knife is precise, which is a bit like a cook's knife.
Chen Kang could tell that this fat man's kung fu was not weak.
"Pork Rong, give me two pounds of minced meat, both fat and lean. I'll take it back to make steamed buns." A customer came to Fatty's butcher shop.
Chen Kang secretly thought that this fat man was Huang Feihong's disciple "Lin Shirong".
Lin Shirong is a butcher, known as "Pork Wing", who received the true biography of Hongquan from Huang Feihong. In the Foshan martial arts world, Lin Shirong is considered a master.
Lin Shirong said: "Old Zhao, it's you. You want minced meat, right? Wait a minute, I'll chop it up for you right now."
After mincing the meat filling, wrap it in lotus leaves and hand it to Lao Zhao.
The technique is clean and neat.
Chen Kang stepped forward and said, "Boss, bring me twenty kilograms of pork."
Lin Shirong glanced at Chen Kang and said, "Okay."
…
Go back inside.
Chen Kang started cooking.
While eating, Liang Kuan's eyes lit up and he said, "It's delicious. Mr. Chen, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good. Let me tell you, even if you don't charge protection money, you can still make a living as a cook."
Chen Kang shook his head.
I have to rely on martial arts to make a living, not cooking.
Chen Kang will no longer make money as a cook.
Chen Kang said: "Liang Kuan, when you are full later, send a portion of the food in the pot to Master Yan."
Yan Zhendong is still performing on the street, not far from Chen Kang's residence. He is right opposite the Yue Family Martial Arts School.
Obviously, Yan Zhendong still has no income today.
If Yan Zhendong doesn't change and wants to fill his stomach by performing arts, he may starve to death on the streets.
Of course, when Chen Kang rescued Yan Zhendong, his thoughts were not pure.
Chen Kang fell in love with Yan Zhendong's iron cloth shirt and eagle claw fist.
Tiebushan is a hard qigong, which can be regarded as an internal martial art. The Eagle Claw Fist is an attack method that is sharp and domineering.
The iron cloth shirt combined with the Eagle Claw Fist is a unique skill in the martial arts world. Therefore, the martial arts community often calls it the "Eagle Claw Iron Shirt".
Yan Zhendong was hungry, and giving him food would definitely be more heart-warming than giving him money directly.
Liang Kuan glanced at Yan Zhendong in the distance and said, "Mr. Chen, are you too kind to Master Yan?"
Chen Kang glared at Liang Kuan and said, "Am I too nice to you? You want to teach me how to do things, right?"
Liang Kuan immediately stopped talking and buried himself in his food.
…
Chen Kang asked Liang Kuan to deliver lunch and dinner to Yan Zhendong.
When Chen Kang was about to take a rest.
There was a knock on the door.
Chen Kang opened the door and saw Yan Zhendong standing outside.
Chen Kang said: "Master Yan, it's so late and you haven't rested yet?"
Yan Zhendong looked at Chen Kang and hesitated to speak.
Chen Kang said: "Master Yan, come in and sit down."
Yan Zhendong received a bowl of boiled water.
Chen Kang said: "Street performing is not a long-term solution. What are Master Yan's future plans?"
Yan Zhendong said: "I want to open a martial arts gym, make a name for myself, and carry forward the martial arts of my Yan family."
Chen Kang nodded and said, "It's a good thing that Master Yan has such an idea."
If you want to make a living from martial arts, opening a martial arts gym is one way to do it. At least it's more legitimate than Chen Kang forcing someone to cooperate.
Yan Zhendong's eyes darkened and he said: "But, I am penniless. It is really difficult to make a name for yourself with your fists."
Without money, let alone opening a martial arts gym, Yan Zhendong wouldn't even have a place to stay.
Yan Zhendong fled from Shandong to Foshan. Although he had real kung fu and strong martial arts, Foshan was not friendly to him and made him feel cold.
Only Chen Kang made Yan Zhendong feel that there is still warmth in the world.
Chen Kang said: "Master Yan, I have just arrived in Foshan and haven't established myself yet. I can't help you much. So, you can use my room for the time being. If an apprentice comes to learn boxing from you, You just register here and collect tuition fees. As for teaching boxing..."
The house Chen Kang rents is only about 80 square meters, so it is definitely not suitable for teaching boxing.
Chen Kang smiled slightly and said: "If you want to teach boxing, you can just find an open space to teach. In the future, if you have money, Master Yan will rent a large courtyard as a martial arts gym."
Yan Zhendong said excitedly: "Thank you very much, Mr. Chen. If I, Yan Zhendong, can really make a name for himself in Foshan, I will definitely repay you."
Chen Kang took out 10 taels of silver: "Master Yan, didn't you say you wanted to teach boxing? I want to learn Hard Qigong and Eagle Claw Boxing from you. These 10 taels of silver can be considered as my tuition."
Ten taels of silver is enough for Yan Zhendong's living expenses for a month.
Yan Zhendong nodded and said, "Okay. I'll teach you."
Chen Kang was secretly happy.
Unexpectedly, it was so easy to learn Yan Zhendong’s Iron Cloth Shirt and Eagle Claw Fist.
Compared with the value of these two martial arts, Chen Kang's help to Yan Zhendong can be said to be insignificant.
Chen Kang could tell whether the things Yan Zhendong taught were genuine.
After all, Chen Kang's martial arts skills are not weak, and his boxing foundation is very solid.
Yan Zhendong explained part of Tiebushi's breathing method, and Chen Kang knew that this was real and practical information.
Tiebushan's breathing method is more complicated than Mizongquan's breathing method.
If you want to master Iron Cloth Shirt, breathing techniques alone are not enough. You also need to beat your body with a stick every day to enhance your resistance to blows.
It is even more indispensable to use medicinal baths and baths.
In short, practicing iron shirt is very resource intensive.
Chen Kang wants to practice iron shirting, but the little money he can get from "cooperating" with ten restaurants may not be enough.
Chen Kang is not only learning Iron Cloth Shirt and Eagle Claw Boxing, he is also sharing his martial arts experience with Yan Zhendong.
Chen Kang's martial arts concepts inspired Yan Zhendong a lot. This removed the last bit of caution in Yan Zhendong's heart.
Yan Zhendong taught Chen Kang all about Tiebushi Qigong without reservation.
Chen Kang didn't pay much attention to the Eagle Claw Fist moves.
What Chen Kang values is the way of exerting force in Eagle Claw Fist.
The two chatted happily.
It wasn't until midnight that Chen Kang sent Yan Zhendong away.
With ten taels of silver in his possession, Yan Zhendong finally gained confidence.
…
"breathe……"
early morning.
The sun hasn't come out yet.
Chen Kang was practicing martial arts in the house. What Chen Kang is practicing now is the hard qigong of Tiebushan.
As he breathed in and out, most of the muscles on Chen Kang's body were trembling, and his skin was a little red.
"Tiebushan Qigong is really extraordinary. This breathing method can exercise the bones and muscles more efficiently. However, the practice requires very high physical fitness."
People with weak qi and weak bodies cannot practice hard qigong, otherwise it will not only be useless, but also harmful.
Chen Kang has a solid foundation in martial arts and has a certain degree of control over himself. That's why he got started so quickly by practicing Tiebushan.
"In a few days, I will be able to finely control all the muscles below the head. The Iron Cloth Shirt Qigong has helped me a lot."
Finished practicing martial arts.
Chen Kang took a bath.
Before he could have breakfast, a waiter came to see Chen Kang.
The waiter said anxiously: "Master Chen, the Shahe Gang has come to Jifulou again. This time they want to collect one hundred taels of silver. If you don't give it, they will destroy the store. The shopkeeper asked me to ask you to come over immediately."
Chen Kang said: "Okay. Let's go to Jifu Tower now."
The waiter was a little worried and said: "Master Chen, can you really deal with the Shahe Gang? They are all ruthless people."
Chen Kang smiled confidently and said nothing.
Whatever you say now is meaningless. It will be more convincing if you use your fists to speak later.
Chen Kang collected the money first, now it's his turn to contribute.
