Ji Yun's butler was called Lu Zhilin. He stroked his beard and asked, "I wonder if you, sir, hurt these little beasts? These little beasts hold grudges very much. I have heard that there are mountain people from Mount Emei and these little beasts." Monkeys have had conflicts over medicinal materials, and as a result, even after ten years, they are still harassed by them. What’s more, there are even incidents where mountain people are pushed off the cliff while collecting medicine.”
"There is always harm. At that time, I fed a few little monkeys some snacks, and then more monkeys came to me to ask for them. As a result, I had fed all the snacks, and they refused to leave and robbed me. Things, just like that, we started fighting, and a few little monkeys were beaten and fled. However, unexpectedly, about an hour later, those few little monkeys actually called the entire monkey group to fight with me. ." As he spoke, Xu San took a sip of tea and shook his head, "They fought in a very organized manner. The smaller ones would throw stones at me from a distance, while the taller ones would come over and fight me hand-to-hand. As soon as I fought with them, I would fight. Knowing something was wrong, he dropped my backpack and ran away.”
"Hahaha~ I didn't expect you, teacher." Ji Wushuang laughed unbridled, but stopped abruptly in the middle of his laughter because he found that Ji Yun was staring at her with unkind eyes.
"My little girl is rude and made my husband laugh!" Ji Yun bowed his hands and apologized to Xu San.
Xu San waved his hand, "Nothing! I have a free-spirited and undisciplined personality, so I accepted her as a disciple because of my opportunism with Wushuangjiang. However, I, as a master, am not dedicated enough. It's been so long, and I still can't do it." I see she has improved."
Lu Zhilin continued to tie his beard, "Sir, don't belittle yourself. The eldest lady has made some progress. At least now she can sit down and read with peace of mind. You know, she could never sit still before. I heard her say that these are all thanks. Given by the teacher’s teachings.”
Xu San wondered, does Qi Lianjue have this function?
But if you think about it carefully, it is indeed possible, because this set of exercises can really calm people down.
If I didn't have this function, I'm afraid Xiaohong would have succeeded long ago.
Thinking of this, Xu San said, "What I taught him was the Taoist inner strength method, which can calm the mind."
"Taoist? Mr. Edogawa should have learned from Japan, how can he practice Taoist techniques?"
"It's a coincidence." Xu San said casually, without telling the origin of the Qi training technique, but he also added, "The technique I taught Wushuang-chan originated from China, and I didn't want to let this skill slip when I taught it to her. The family’s martial arts were lost.”
"Then why don't you teach me your sword skills?" Ji Wushuang asked.
"My sword skills are extremely harmful to the body and are not suitable for you to practice!" Xu San said seriously.
"You are just stingy! Look, I am a Chinese talent and you don't teach me!" Ji Wushuang pouted her mouth and looked unhappy.
"Didn't I teach you marksmanship?"
"You can't shoot someone without a knife." Ji Wushuang didn't finish her words because Ji Yun was staring at her again.
When Ji Yun saw Ji Wushuang shut up, he scolded him, "Wushuang, you can learn whatever the teacher teaches you! How dare you pick a fight? If this had happened to me, your grandfather would have had my legs broken long ago!"
After being scolded, Ji Wushuang also knew that he had talked too much, so he lowered his head and said nothing.
While we were talking, the dishes were almost ready.
The waiter who served the dishes said to Ji Yun after announcing the names of the dishes, "Master Ji, there are two non-spicy Sichuan dishes that require some effort to prepare."
"Not spicy Sichuan food?" Ji Yun asked looking at the waiter.
"The teacher ordered it." Ji Wushuang explained.
"Not spicy Sichuan food! Haha, Mr. Edogawa is really good at eating it!" Ji Yun said with a smile, and then asked the waiter, "What other two dishes are there?"
Seeing Ji Yun's question, the waiter quickly replied, "Chickpea puddings and boiled cabbage are the kitchen's specialties! But the kitchen said they can only make these two dishes now. If you tell them a day in advance, you can prepare a lot."
"No need! Today I only dared to order such expensive dishes because of Master Ji's favor." Xu San said teasingly, and then waved his hand for the waiter to retreat.
"Mr. Edogawa must have stayed in China for many years, right?" Lu Zhilin asked.
"It's been on and off for four or five years, right?" Xu San said uncertainly, "I only settled down in western Shanxi in recent years due to work needs."
Ji Yun nodded and glanced at Ji Wushuang, who immediately understood and stood up to pour wine for Xu San and Hua Zejin.
After the wine was filled, Ji Yun raised his glass and thanked Xu San for teaching Ji Wushuang.
After putting down the glass, Ji Yun continued to ask, "I heard Fengling say that Edogawa is a reporter, a reporter from the Asahi Shimbun?"
"That's right! Mr. Ji also knows the Asahi Shimbun?"
"Of course I know. It was the newspaper I had to read every day when I was studying. However, I read an article signed by my husband in the evening paper a few days ago, and I thought the style seemed a bit similar to the Asahi Shimbun I saw in Tokyo. different."
Xu San picked up a piece of nine-turn large intestine, "Isn't it rigorous enough?"
"Yes! Do you think this article is written as a joke? But" Ji Yun frowned, as if thinking about the wording.
After Xu San put the large intestine into his own tray, he finished the whole story for Ji Yun, "I said it but didn't seem to say it, but you have finished reading the article, and you still want to know the follow-up, right?"
"Right, that is it!"
"Well, this article will definitely not get through in Tokyo. I just want to test the effect of putting it here and see how effective it is in spreading it. At that time, there was an incident at the steel plant, so I took advantage of it."
"Is it spreading?" Ji Yun seemed to have grasped the key point, "That's true. Although you didn't say anything, in recent days, the most popular topic among the people in Taiyuan City is the steel plant, and people who don't know why are also talking about it. I have begun to care about national affairs. However, I have to make atonement first. Your report may be said to have no literary talent, but it is more concise and accessible. Even if you don’t have any cultural background, you can read it in one sitting. I think this may be him. The reason why it can spread quickly is that if the subsequent reports are more in-depth, the sales volume of the evening newspaper will definitely exceed that of the morning newspaper."
Xu San ate the intestines on the plate and said with a smile, "Mr. Ji is a smart man. Do you think this article can still be published if I report more deeply? Not to mention that it is too far here, even in Tokyo, in Daban, it is difficult to publish such a particularly sensitive topic, unless there is an editor with a profound background, or the editor is not afraid of death."
Ji Yun smiled bitterly and drank a glass of wine, "What you said is true."
Xu San picked up the wine glass and drank with him, "But my goal has been achieved. At least now the people have begun to care about the steel plant."
