1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 46: Three dollars per ticket!

"Three dollars, not a penny more. If you don't sell it, I'll leave. You can keep this piece of waste paper!" Xia Tian said impatiently.

Opposite him was a young man in his twenties or early thirties, wearing an old, ill-fitting navy blue Zhongshan suit with sleeves on to reduce wear on the cuffs.

"Add a little more, add a little more, look how beautiful it is and how well preserved it is!" he said.

Xia Tian turned around and left without saying a word.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you so angry?! Three dollars, just three dollars! Deal!" The young man hurriedly grabbed Xia Tian's arm, and Xia Tian stopped.

In the end I spent three dollars and bought something worth three dollars!

The young man took the money and ran away as fast as he could, fearing that Xia Tian would go back on his word.

Ma Xiaojun didn't understand either: "No, Xia Tian, ​​why did you spend three dollars to buy this piece of waste paper?!"

Dachun also looked miserable: "For three dollars, I can order two meat dishes!"

Xia Tian was shaking the light green bill in his hand, feeling good, "You guys don't understand!"

What Xia Tian holds in his hand is a "three-yuan note", yes, three yuan!
This is the only RMB banknote with a denomination of three yuan in the second set of RMB issued in 55.

Because it was printed with the help of the Russian Bear, it is commonly known as Su San Coin.

The 3 yuan was no longer accepted and circulated in 64 AD and was recycled. Very few of them survived in later generations. Even now, there are certainly not many.

Of course, Xia Tian definitely didn’t intend to invest, saying that it would be worth X amount in 30 years…

If we still need to cash in these things in the summer thirty years from now, then these thirty years have been lived in vain!
The reason I bought this uncirculated "3 yuan" was simply for collection and commemoration.

How rare~
You can only come across it these days, but in a few years, it will be difficult to buy it even if you have money.

I must put it in a book when I get home and keep it well.

……

It’s November, and summer has a promise to keep.

He had said before that if Zhuo Yue could refrain from fighting with anyone for three months, he would teach him martial arts.

It was originally a tactful refusal, hoping that this kid would give up. After all, how could I have the leisure to teach others?
I didn't expect that Zhuo Yue was such a stubborn guy. He really hasn't fought with anyone for three months.

Ye Jing was still complaining to Xia Tian: "You gave such a bad idea. What kind of martial ethics is that? Yesterday, Zhuo Yue was hit by two electric cannons from the enemy and he didn't fight back. It was us who helped him get revenge!"

In fact, Ye Jing and Fang Yan also advised Zhuoyue that it didn't matter who he learned from, he could learn from the guards in the compound.

However, Zhuo Yue managed to hold back for three months and didn't take any action.

This is quite rare, because this kid is impulsive and has a stubborn mind, and is a fool.

You actually managed to resist the urge to fight with others?

Then it's Xia Tian's turn to fulfill his promise.

Okay, do what you say.

Zhuo Yue actually looks good, and very handsome, but he doesn't look stupid or arrogant. Unlike Ye Jing, who has a gangster look, or Fang Yan, who has a round face with a bit of mischief, he is a very handsome young man with a shaved head.

I don’t plan to teach you anything advanced in the summer, so let’s just do the horse stance!
Try it for three days first and see.

After three days, Zhuoyue said he could last five minutes. He was quite hardworking.

Xia Tian started to point at him with a small stick, "This, this~" Xia Tian pulled the small stick in his hand, and a red mark appeared on the inside of his thigh.

"Don't use your muscles to hold on, lift your knees and anus, tighten your pelvic floor muscles! Think about holding back urine and feces, maintain a certain strength, and don't relax..."

"All kinds of standing postures are the same. You need to use the strength of your muscles and bones, and use your ligaments and fascia to support the posture. You should feel the muscles tightening to support the flesh and bones... If you only rely on your muscles to support it, your knees will be damaged after a long time..."

It took two weeks to teach the horse stance alone, and then Xia Tian made two small stone locks for Zhuo Yue - Zhuo Yue had seen the one Xia Tian did every morning exercise, and it was four or five times larger than his own and difficult to lift with one hand!
But in the summer, he flies up and down as if he has no weight.

Just practice, they are all basic skills, to lay the foundation.

If you really learn from the soldiers in the army, what you learn are fighting techniques and the goal is to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

But if you really want to practice kung fu, you have to start from the basics and hone your basic skills.

As for what I can learn in the future, I don’t care in the summer.

I have already led you on the path, and how you proceed from now on is up to you.

"Eat more good food. If you can't eat meat, eat eggs. If you don't have eggs, eat more tofu..."

Of course, Xia Tian’s advice was actually of no use. Zhuo Yue’s father was a school-level cadre and lived in a large compound, so he had no shortage of nutrition.

In this November, there is another major event that has attracted the attention of people across the country. That is, the higher authorities have proposed to gradually launch a nationwide campaign to combat unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.

Putting things right...

For example, the lame old man Ma who taught Xia Tian Peking Opera was very concerned about this matter. The literary and artistic circles suffered a lot at that time.

And Milan, even though his parents are gone, it’s a good thing that his reputation can be restored.

Basically most people are paying attention to this matter, but it cannot be completed in a short period of time or in a few months, it can be done step by step.

……

"Hey~ Xia Tian, ​​guess what we encountered?" As Xia Tian just went downstairs, Ma Xiaojun came over with a monkey-like look on his face.

"What happened?"

"A bunch of foreigners!"

Xia Tian glanced at him and said, "What's so strange about foreigners?" This is Yanjing after all. Even now, there are still many foreigners, not to mention the special embassy district.

"No, this time is different. I heard them say it's a tour group! Is that the name?" He looked at Feng Pants.

"Yes, traveling! That foreigner is very tall. And he's wearing a tweed coat, so energetic!" Feng Pants seemed to be still immersed in the tweed coat.

I didn’t take it seriously in the summer. What’s so special about this thing from foreigners?

There will be plenty of them in the city of Yanjing and throughout the entire Chinese land in the future.

A scholarship of 100,000 yuan a year is offered, and it’s invited!
However, he didn't expect that the next day he would actually meet the foreigner that Ma Xiaojun and the others had mentioned on the street.

You can't deny that she is really tall, she is about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a slim-fitting black tweed windbreaker with a special design, high padded shoulders, and a long scarf.

The difference between their clothes and those of the people around them, who are wearing navy blue, black and military green, is huge.

Those foreigners were still taking pictures everywhere, and a group of people around them watched them from a distance.

"Aren't you hot wearing this in this weather and a scarf?" Dachun asked.

"Looks like he's French?" Xia Tian said.

"Ah? How do you know?" asked Glasses.

"They speak French."

"You also know French?" Yan Jing knew that Xia Tian knew English and Russian, but he didn't expect that he also knew French.

Nowadays, those who can speak foreign languages ​​are considered high-end talents. For example, Yu Beibei and Milan from the Diplomatic Compound both know English, and it is a lineage-based language learning in their family.

Xia Tian: “I don’t understand, but I can tell it’s French.”

Later, Xia Tian learned that the tall foreigner was called Pierre Cardin.

Pierre Cardin!

In an instant, a lot of information appeared in Xia Tian's mind. Some of it was something he had known before and he just remembered it now.

But what’s more, I didn’t know it before, but have gained it now.

It's just apocalypse~
In recent years, Xia Tian has been unintentionally touched upon, gained enlightenment, and acquired some new knowledge in many fields, including music, musical instruments, painting, martial arts, Peking Opera, antiques... and even fishing.

Otherwise, why do you think he was able to progress so quickly? Why is he considered a child prodigy in every field?!
Not to mention martial arts, his current teachers, coaches, and masters are all trained to be like those masters in the stories of the Republic of China period.

There is a feeling of creating a miracle with your own hands!

As for painting, Xia Tian had long since left the painting class at the Children's Palace, and he learned many techniques on his own by reading descriptions in books.

Even if you simply want to achieve a certain effect, some techniques will automatically appear in your mind!
The sisters and aunts in the song and dance troupe all thought that Xia Tian was a genius that they had never seen or even heard of. He could sing, play, or even compose any song after hearing it once.

If there is anything wrong with the singing or music, he can tell it immediately...

Old man Ma, who teaches Xia Tian Peking Opera, always feels that Xia Tian is not fed by the ancestors, but is forced to eat by the ancestors who tie him to a chair.

The dwarf steps, zombie falls, water sleeves, flower spears... all those skills that require a long time to hone, in his hands are as natural as eating and drinking.

Often you just need to practice and you will be able to do it, and once you are familiar with it, you will never find any fault with it!
You have to know that it is not just about hard practice, there are also many tricks that need to be taught by a teacher, otherwise you won’t be able to learn just by watching.

There are many things that Old Man Ma doesn’t understand even though he is a famous actor - each family has their own things.

But summer seems to be self-taught and often figures it out quickly.

Whether it's singing, reciting, acting or fighting, or the roles of sheng, dan, jing, mo and chou, it seems as if nothing is difficult and nothing requires extra effort.

Many times, Old Man Ma feels frightened!
It was the same when Xia Tian learned about antiques from Zhu Youguang. He was able to remember everything he saw and recite everything he heard.

He could remember the knowledge that Zhu Youguang taught him just by repeating it once, or even just mentioning it casually during a chat.

Those calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, and jade, after passing through his hands once, it was as if he had memorized them.

If you take out imitations or fakes again, Xia Tian will be able to recognize them at a glance and point out the problems one by one.

There was even one time when he went to Zhu Youguang's unit, Rongbaozhai, the official antique shop.

I came across their store and bought a porcelain jar for a few dozen dollars. After I handled it in the summer, I always felt something was wrong.

Zhu Youguang asked: "What's wrong?"

Xia Tian: “It doesn’t feel right!”

The old man is so angry - you are making fun of me, right?!

But after Zhu Youguang drove Xia Tian away, he was still not relieved. He pondered over it for several days and finally confirmed through an old friend that this was an ancient imitation of an antique, probably a Ming Dynasty porcelain imitation of the Song Dynasty!

From then on, Zhu Youguang became interested in summer.

He has lived for a long time and has seen many extraordinary people during the rise and fall of Yanjing City over the past few decades.

Sometimes experts also make mistakes, and it is even common, because the counterfeiters are also experts, and they specifically target the experts.

But it’s useless when you meet a “feeling-type player” like Xia Tian.

They felt that something was not right. They couldn't tell what was wrong, but it just wasn't right.

However, their feelings are often right!
Of course, this is not a skill that ordinary people can have.

When Zhu Youguang was a teenager, he followed his master and paid a visit to a chief clerk of a large pawnshop, who had this ability.

Let’s talk about Pierre Cardin, he is a French fashion designer and also the founder of one of the first foreign clothing brands to enter China.

Pierre Cardin, this clothing brand will be the top clothing brand in China for the next decade!
This tall, middle-aged foreigner is quite courageous and decisive!
It seems that the wind has warmed the ground beneath our feet!
