The Republic of China: From Storyteller to God

The oysters that Uncle Fu sent were all huge.

Judging by their size, they are almost all plump oysters that have been growing for two or three years.

The village's oyster farms were damaged by the disaster, which had already resulted in a significant reduction in production.

These large oysters are extremely valuable; if they were sold on the market, they would definitely fetch a good price.

Therefore, Liu Che did not want to waste these oysters, so he started making oyster sauce that very night.

Real oyster sauce is made by simmering real oyster meat little by little, without any additives.

Before Liu Che traveled through time, the homemade oyster sauce he bought at the mall was a compound oyster sauce made by adding sugar, starch, flour, soy sauce and other additives.

The oyster juice content inside is not high, and the umami flavor is far inferior to that of real oyster sauce.

Authentic oyster sauce is made by simmering oyster meat to create oyster broth, and then continuously simmering it for more than ten hours to concentrate the broth to its maximum level.

Oyster sauce made using this method has an extremely low yield; only 8 to 9 pounds of oyster sauce can be made from 100 pounds of oysters.

Uncle Fu brought 500 catties of oysters, but after removing the shells, the oyster meat only weighed a little over 120 catties.

To make oyster soup from all these oyster meats, you'd need at least ten large pots.

Baozhilin has three large pots.

Huang Feihong often entertained his militia brothers with meals. With so many people, they needed to use larger pots.

But three large pots were simply not enough, and none of the neighbors had large enough pots to use.

Fortunately, Huang Feihong had influence and arranged for his militia brothers to borrow seven large pots from restaurants and hotels for Liu Che, as well as a cartload of firewood and coal.

Soon, the courtyard of Baozhilin was filled with ten large pots set up by cups.

Liu Che couldn't handle so many large pots by himself, so the militia brothers stayed behind to help.

Huang Feihong also directed the militia members to fetch water, start fires, scrub pots, and wash oysters.

Aunt Thirteen is usually asleep by this time, but she's helping out today too.

She was curious whether oil could actually be extracted from oyster meat.

With many hands making light work, flames quickly rose beneath the ten large cauldrons.

The pot was filled with water, and the cleaned oysters were placed inside and slowly heated by the flames at the bottom of the pot.

Liu Che instructed everyone to use spatulas and frying spoons to constantly stir the oyster meat at the bottom of the pot to prevent it from sticking.

He checked the flames at the bottom of the pot, controlling the heat to prevent it from heating up too quickly and burning the bottom.

This is a delicate task, and it requires human intervention during the cooking process.

More importantly, Liu Che needs to summarize the production experience and develop a process that can be industrialized.

In that case, he would have to keep an eye on it the whole time.

The cooking process is time-consuming and somewhat boring.

Therefore, Liu Che specially asked A Wu and Zhu Rou Rong to buy a lot of food and wine. Everyone ate and drank, which made for a lively time.

Liu Che only covered a small part of "Drunken Fist" last time.

While they were at it, everyone urged Liu Che to continue telling the story of "Drunken Fist".

With the help of the Seven Emotions, Liu Che doesn't need to worry about qi and blood deficiency.

Therefore, after lighting a packet of "Seven Emotions Aid" incense powder, he continued to tell the story of the sequel to "Drunken Master".

"As mentioned in the last episode, Wong Fei-hung flirted with a girl in the market and was severely reprimanded by the girl's mother."

But when he got home, he discovered that the girl he had flirted with was actually his cousin, whom he had never met before.

The old woman who reprimanded him was actually his own aunt…

With the help of the Seven Emotions, Liu Che was able to tell the entire story in one go this time.

The militia members listened with rapt attention as they listened to the story of Wong Fei-hung, who, under the tutelage of Su Hua-zi, learned Drunken Fist, saved his father, and defeated the powerful and ruthless assassin Yan Tie-xin.

After the story ended, everyone clamored to learn Drunken Fist from Wong Fei-hung.

Huang Feihong was helpless.

He learned his family's Hung Kuen style and had never heard of "Drunken Fist."

So he passed the buck to Liu Che: "Don't learn this story from me. This story was told by A-Che. You should learn it from A-Che."

Upon hearing this, the members of the militia surrounded Liu Che, calling him "Brother Che" and begging him to teach them "Drunken Fist".

"Everyone, this is a story, not true."

Liu Che laughed and said, "Just like your master never flirted with his cousin, this is all made up."

"OK!"

Wong Fei-hung feigned anger: "You made up a story, so you made up that I flirted with my cousin, right?"

"Master Huang, please calm down."

Liu Che laughed and begged for mercy: "Then I'll make up something else next time, okay?"

"Anything else?"

The militia members were all intrigued: "Brother Che, tell us quickly!"

"Are you trying to work me to death?"

Liu Che stirred the oyster soup in the pot and said with a smile, "Another day, another day I'll tell you a story about your master."

"Um?"

Upon hearing his father mentioned, Wong Fei-hung's curiosity was piqued: "What story?"

"It's the story of when you were a child, your father took you to the north, and the government coerced you into capturing the thief Iron Monkey."

"Iron Monkey..."

Huang Feihong pondered, trying to recall, but he had never heard of this name before. He couldn't help but chuckle, "Ah Che, you're truly a natural storyteller! How can you just casually tell such interesting tales?"

Although Liu Che used him as material, he had to admit that the stories Liu Che told were really interesting.

The character in the story is very different from his own personality, but he can still be considered a young hero.

Moreover, the "Drunken Fist" style that Liu Che described actually had some merit.

Recalling the story Liu Che had just told him, as well as the illusions he had seen, he began to calm down and ponder the mysterious "Drunken Fist" technique.

Judging from Liu Che's description of the moves, this Drunken Fist style should be a combination of many boxing techniques such as Ground Fist, Bagua Palm, and Chuojiao, with unpredictable moves.

Although he learned Hung Kuen, he was most proficient in leg techniques.

It was his legs that earned him the nickname "Foshan Shadowless Kick".

However, he has always had one regret: he didn't achieve much in boxing.

His father's Tiger Crane Double Form was renowned, and he established his own school, elevating Tiger Crane Double Form to the same status as the Gongzi Fuhu Fist and Iron Wire Fist, listing them as the "Three Treasures of Hung Kuen".

This is the spirit of a grandmaster.

If he could also create his own style of boxing, then he would not have disgraced his father's reputation.

When Lü Dongbin was drunk, he lifted a wine pot with the strength of a thousand pounds; when Tieguai Li challenged him to a knee strike, he was truly drunk.

The Drunken Fist style that Liu Che described gave him a lot of inspiration.

The core of his Shadowless Kick lies in his lack of adherence to specific moves; he often uses feints and attacks from any angle.

Drunken Fist is also unpredictable and seemingly chaotic, but it hides deadly intent within the chaos, which suits his taste perfectly.

Why don't you give it a try?

Once the thought popped into his head, it spread like wildfire through his mind.

For a moment, he was so engrossed in thinking that he began to gesture with his hands.
