Chen Yuanyuan made a special trip to Tai O Fishing Village in Xiangcheng on Sunday.
Tai O is the only floating stilt area in Hong Kong. Most of the residents make a living from fishing and tourism and live a peaceful and simple water town life.
There are many shops on Tai O Street, with roadside stalls and hawkers setting up stalls along the sidewalk, selling dried seafood, handmade fabrics, medicinal materials and other local products.
Many small vendors were selling bottles of purple drinks. Chen Yuanyuan bought a bottle and tried it. The sour and sweet taste was very refreshing. After asking, she learned that it was made of purple-backed geranium and hawthorn. After boiling it, Chen Yuanyuan bought dozens of packages of prepared soup dumplings.
Chen Yuanyuan shopped and ate along the roadside. After filling her hands with souvenirs, she found a hidden corner and quietly collected the space.
Although the dried goods bought in Tai O are not as good as those from seafood shops, most of them are dried by locals themselves. In addition to being fresher and pollution-free, they are more cost-effective.
At the end of the street is the daily necessities market. Chen Yuanyuan stepped into the market. The air was filled with a faint aroma of salted fish and shrimp paste. Chen Yuanyuan bought a lot of salted fish, shrimp paste, shrimp skin, kelp and seaweed.
Finally, we visited the seafood market and bought a bunch of local seafood before heading back to the boxing gym near the apartment to train.
"Yuanyuan, don't you really consider participating in amateur MMA competition? You are definitely in the top three at this level." During the break, Chen Yuanyuan's coach Wang Shilong once again advised him.
Wang Shilong was the boxing champion in Asia two years ago, but unfortunately retired due to injury. Now he and his friends open a boxing gym to make a living.
"No, I just wanted to keep fit and have some fun." Chen Yuanyuan declined Wang Shilong again.
"Hmph, it's just a matter of showing off your fists and embroidering your legs." A girl said from behind Chen Yuanyuan.
"Haiying, don't bully the newcomer, Yuanyuan is still very capable." Wang Shilong scolded him when he saw that the person coming was senior sister Wan Haiying from the boxing gym.
"If you don't participate in competitions and don't practice with other people, why do you practice so hard with your senior brother every day?" Wan Haiying said angrily.
Wan Haiying is also an outspoken person and has long admired Wang Shilong.
In the past month, I have been to the boxing gym and met Chen Yuanyuan in class. It was inevitable that there would be some physical contact when teaching boxing. In addition, Chen Yuanyuan looked more feminine than her. After a long time, Wan Haiying became very jealous.
"Senior sister, why don't you spar with me?" Although Chen Yuanyuan concentrated on practicing boxing, she usually felt Wan Haiying's jealous eyes.
"Okay, Senior Brother, you will be the referee!" Wan Haiying agreed simply.
"But she has just learned, and she is not in the same weight class as you..." Wang Shilong knows Wan Haiying's strength. She was the runner-up in the Xiangcheng Women's Amateur last year, and is worried about Chen Yuanyuan's injury.
"It doesn't matter, I will be measured." Wan Haiying didn't mean to hurt Chen Yuanyuan, he just wanted to scare her by hitting her.
"Senior sister, I give in!" Chen Yuanyuan and Wan Haiying stood on the ring, fist-bumped and then started sparring.
Wan Haiying's attack was fierce. Because she was taller and stronger than Chen Yuanyuan, Chen Yuanyuan was at a disadvantage at first.
But Chen Yuanyuan had been focusing on training defense and locking skills for the past few days, and Wan Haiying was unable to do anything to her for a while.
Every attack was either dodged or blocked by Chen Yuanyuan. In addition, Wan Haiying also deliberately controlled his strength, and his speed was not as strong as in normal games.
Every cell in Chen Yuanyuan's body felt excited. For the first time after her rebirth, she sparred with someone and met a powerful opponent.
If both of them can hold weapons, Chen Yuanyuan believes that she is far better than Wan Haiying in enemy-killing skills, but due to the pure collision of power, Chen Yuanyuan also knows that she is not as good as Wan Haiying.
The two sparred for nearly five minutes, and everyone in the boxing gym stopped what they were doing and went to watch around the ring.
Everyone originally thought that Chen Yuanyuan would be directly knocked out by Wan Haiying within one minute, but they did not expect that Chen Yuanyuan, who looked weak, was quite powerful.
The two sparred for about ten minutes, and Wan Haiying started to get impatient. Unexpectedly, Chen Yuanyuan was much stronger than she thought.
Wan Haiying stopped thinking of underestimating the enemy and launched a more violent offensive.
Chen Yuanyuan seized the opportunity and punched Wan Haiying hard on her left shoulder. She stepped forward and used a lock to control Wan Haiying tightly.
Wan Haiying became anxious, not caring about the strength gap with Chen Yuanyuan, and prepared to break away from Chen Yuanyuan with all his strength.
