The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 20 This old guy has no daughter

"Damn it, who would get up so early?" Chen Zhengwei cursed as he put on his clothes and went out.

Although he was unhappy, Lin Mingsheng's actions yesterday did surprise him.

You have to know that he is not a superficial person. He has practiced Sanda for six years and has seen many students from various martial arts schools and traditional martial arts.

Although I have never practiced Bajiquan, Hung Gar, Sanhuang Paochui and other styles of boxing, I have tried them.

Sanda is a simplification of various free-fighting styles, taking the most core elements from them.

However, he couldn't even block Lin Mingsheng's two attacks yesterday, which almost overturned his understanding of traditional martial arts.

Originally, he planned to learn some weapons skills from Lin Mingsheng, but now he has become more interested in Cailifo.

……

Early in the morning, Lin Mingsheng stood at the door of the hall with his hands behind his back.

"master!"

"master!"

Some young people came to the yard and were surprised to see Lin Mingsheng getting up so early.

You know, it is usually the senior brothers who teach them, and Lin Mingsheng rarely appears.

Not long after, a young man wearing loose trousers, high leather boots, and a twill hunting jacket walked in with a swagger.

This outfit was out of place with the other people in the yard. Everyone else was wearing coarse work clothes, but he looked like a gentleman going on vacation hunting.

In order to buy this suit, Chen Zhengwei went to five clothing stores on Market Street yesterday before he bought it.

The Chinese workers here wear a Ma褂, a long gown inside and a Ma褂 on the outside.

Or it could be a short dress with two sections on the top and bottom that was convenient for working in the fields. This kind of clothes had a front opening and was somewhat similar in style to the later Tang suit, but it was worn by coolies and was made of coarse cloth.

Chen Zhengwei was very concerned about his reputation. He didn't like wearing a Ma褂, but he didn't want to wear short clothes either. He ran down the street and finally bought a hunting suit.

However, I did order two sets of silk buttoned Tang suits from the clothing store. The style was a bit loose, and there were dark patterns on the material, one set was black and the other was white.

Lin Mingsheng saw Chen Zhengwei arrived on time and nodded slightly.

He discovered yesterday that this guy was bold and did not follow the rules, but he did not expect that he would actually come at five o'clock.

"You watch from the side for a while!" Lin Mingsheng said to Chen Zhengwei, and then asked the other disciples to perform a set of punches while he corrected their movements.

There are many types of boxing in Cailifoquan, but Lin Mingsheng mainly teaches three types, the Five Wheel Hammer, the Small Plum Blossom Fist and the Peace Fist.

Among them, the Five-Wheel Hammer is used for practicing Kung Fu, and although the Small Plum Blossom Fist is also an entry-level boxing technique, it is short, powerful and very practical.

Pingquan, also known as Xiaochangquan, is an intermediate form of Cailifoquan and also the form used by Chen Heng to train soldiers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Chen Zhengwei watched with interest. There were more than a dozen disciples in the Lin family martial arts school. These people were quite skilled. Although they were no match for Lin Mingsheng, the weakest one was much stronger than an ordinary person.

Chen Zhengwei's eyes turned, and he thought about bringing these people under his command.

He can't possibly lead the team himself every time something is done, right?

On the contrary, these disciples of the martial arts school are very suitable for doing things.

Lin Mingsheng turned around before returning to Chen Zhengwei and said to him, "The key points of my Cailifo boxing are in five words: pass, throw, hang, and thrust. But you should practice the horse first before practicing boxing. You should practice the footwork first before practicing boxing."

"And the footwork of my Cailifo boxing is called walking horse, which is divided into eight types: Ziwu horse, Siping horse, Guai Ma, Tou Ma, Chansi Ma, Kneeling Ma, Qilong Ma, and Diaoma."

"I sneaked up behind you yesterday and was the one who stole the horse."

"But you have to start with the horse-drawn carriage..."

Chen Zhengwei's eyes twitched. As long as his Cailifoquan reached LV0, he could add points. What was the point of learning horse stance?

He immediately said, "You teach me the boxing skills, and I will practice the footwork myself when I go back!"

"You don't lack boxing skills. You know the basic boxing moves. What you lack is footwork. When you have mastered the footwork, I will teach you boxing!"

Cailifoquan is different from the free-hand fighting learned by Chen Zhengwei. Horse stance is the most important thing. It not only practices footwork, but also increases strength and twists the whole body into one force.

Chen Zhengwei took out a wad of money from his pocket and said, "Mr. Lin, it's enough for me to learn boxing!"

"Money makes the world go round, that's true." Lin Mingsheng glanced at the money in Chen Zhengwei's hand and asked meaningfully, "But can money help you practice basic skills?"

Chen Zhengwei thought about it and said, "This really works!"

Lin Mingsheng glared at him and said unhappily, "Take your money back! Money is like flowing water, it can be dispersed at any time. Only what you have learned is yours."

Then he used his trump card with a cold face: "If you want to learn boxing from me, you should start with the basics! Do you want to learn?"

"Learn!" Chen Zhengwei gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart. Seeing that the old man was determined, he could only see if he could get a horse stance level 0 first.

After a while, Chen Zhengwei squatted in horse stance and became more and more angry. It was because this old guy didn’t have a daughter…

In Singapore, a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a slim figure, starry eyes, a beautiful nose, thick eyebrows, and a heroic look between her brows, carefully boarded a passenger ship heading to the East, holding a jar.

The destination on the ticket was San Francisco.

……

At half past six in the morning, the other disciples left and went to work.

Although they were very curious about Chen Zhengwei, they didn't have time for small talk.

Most of Lin Mingsheng's disciples work as manual laborers in the warehouse, earning money while building up their strength.

In addition to Chen Zhengwei, the other two are Gong Yanyong, who is in his twenties. He is a man of few words but very calm. He usually helps out in the martial arts gym and pharmacy.

There is another one named Li Xiwen, who is only sixteen years old and usually works as a cook in Huixianlou.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Chen Zhengwei smiled and put his arm around Li Xiwen's shoulders and walked out: "Let's go, we will be brothers practicing martial arts in the same courtyard from now on. Senior brother will treat you to morning tea!"

He had noticed just now that although Li Xiwen was the youngest, he was the best in martial arts except for Gong Yanyong. His moves were fierce and neat, no worse than his.

"I'll just go back and eat. I also have to go back to the kitchen to help clean up..." Li Xiwen is young and a little shy.

Chen Zhengwei just arrived, how could he have the nerve to eat for free?
"Is there anything to do in the kitchen? I'll arrange a job for you. You'll earn much more than what you earn in the kitchen." Chen Zhengwei laughed.

"No, my father had a lot of trouble getting me into Huixianlou. If I work for another year, I can formally learn cooking!" Li Xiwen shook his head after hearing this.

Once one entered Huixianlou, one had to work as an apprentice for three years, and then as a permanent worker for ten years. He entered Huixianlou at the age of fourteen and had already worked there for two years.

"Then go have morning tea first, and then come back to Huixianlou to help." Chen Zhengwei smiled with his eyes narrowed.

He saw that although Li Xiwen was young, he was very stubborn. He decided to go to the owner of Huixianlou in a few days and ask him to find a reason to fire Li Xiwen.

What is the future of being a cook? He is only sixteen years old and has such good skills. Only by following him can you eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks.

"Also, I am the senior brother! Apart from Senior Brother Gong, I was the first to join." Li Xiwen said seriously again.

Chen Zhengwei took out 5 yuan and said with a smile: "Call me Brother!"

"No, there is a sequence for entry!" Li Xiwen shook his head.

Chen Zhengwei took out another 5 yuan.

Li Xiwen obviously hesitated.

Chen Zhengwei took out another 10 yuan.

"Senior Brother!" Li Xiwen smiled at Chen Zhengwei.

Chen Zhengwei felt that this junior fellow had great potential for training. At least his bottom line was very flexible. Wasn’t he much better than that old guy?

……

After breakfast, Chen Zhengwei went home to catch up on his sleep.

As a result, not long after I lay down, Chen Zhenghu and Yan Qingyou came over.

"Fuck, it's so early, aren't you sleeping?" Chen Zhengwei cursed angrily.

"Brother Wei, we have asked some brothers from the same clan to come over, and they are waiting outside!" said Chen Zhenghu.

Hearing this, Chen Zhengwei immediately scolded: "Why don't you talk about this serious matter first?"

Chen Zhenghu felt a little aggrieved. You didn't even give me a chance to speak.

"Bring him in!" Chen Zhengwei put on formal clothes and went downstairs. At the same time, Yan Qingyou told him that those who came were from the Chen, Yan and Rong families.

Chen Zhenghu went out to greet everyone, and more than 20 people came in. They were all young and strong men in their twenties.

They asked Yan Qingyou and Chen Zhenghu a lot last night, and they didn't even go to work today, and just followed them here.

Everyone looked at Chen Zhengwei first. They saw that although he looked young, he was tall and dressed in gentleman's clothes, and looked very powerful.

"Weige!"

"Brother Wei!" A group of people spoke up one after another, quite impressively.

"Jeong-ho and Sei-you told us yesterday that we want to do something with you!"

Chen Zhengwei smiled at everyone and said, "In eastern Guangdong, the Chen, Yan, and Rong families are all related. In the United States, we must work together even more. Everyone present here is our brother who is as close as a bone to a muscle. Since you call me Brother Wei, I will definitely help you get rich."

Then his voice sank: "But I have to say something ugly in advance. Since you work for me, you have to listen to me. From now on, we will advance and retreat together. If anyone can't do it, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

Everyone nodded: "Brother Wei, don't worry, we won't let such a person go without you saying anything!"
