Chapter 10 Rush to the market

Before entering the mid-autumn season, the days are long and the nights are short, and the morning dawns relatively early, and it brightens at six o'clock.

Zhang Taiping got up early in the morning, opened the backyard door, and strolled into the orchard in the back valley. In the early morning, the moist and fresh air is inhaled into the lungs, which makes people feel a lot lighter in their bones.

First of all, I put on the starting pose of Tai Chi and slowly moved my muscles and bones for a while. To be honest, Zhang Taiping didn't like Tai Chi very much before, and always thought that Tai Chi was as slow as a snail, and it was defense-oriented and not sharp in attack. He likes to focus on offense, sharp, and powerful kung fu, so he followed his grandfather to mainly learn Hong Boxing, Baji Bang and the Northern Tan Leg, which was once as famous as Southern Boxing. If it weren't for the fact that Tai Chi was the ancestral kung fu of the Zhang family, and he was hard* learned by his grandfather, he would have disdained to touch it.

Whether the Zhang family's Taiji was passed on from Zhang Junbao is unknown. There is no genealogy or record in the family. As for other kung fu, grandpa is even more secretive and never reveals anything.

It is understandable that Zhang Taiping did not like Tai Chi with his previous surname. Zhang's Tai Chi is different from the fitness style that everyone on the market, but it is a school of Tai Chi Kung Fu that can really integrate attack and defense. It's not that anyone can learn it by looking at it a few times, but to experience and comprehend the mystery of four or two thousand catties, and the requirements for talent and heart are extremely high. But now Zhang Taiping has a soft spot for Tai Chi, after all, he has been a human being in two lives, and the experience of his previous life is destined to be a person who likes to be quiet and evil. Moreover, in the previous life, the mentality of being 30 years old but like 50 years old has long been worn away from the edges and corners, and tends to be mellow and peaceful, which is more conducive to the understanding and application of Tai Chi.

Although I like Tai Chi, it does not mean that I have given up other kung fu.

Wait for Tai Chi to warm up, take off your shirt and go bare-chested. He also put on the posture of Hong Fist, his fist was like the wind, and the masculinity followed. After the hand work, it is the leg work. Fist kung fu is known for its instantaneous explosion of concentrated power, but kung fu on the legs lies in speed and dexterity. Of course, there are also strength-based leg methods, but Zhang Taiping is not good at it. The majestic body flickered and moved around the garden like a spiritual ring, and its legs flashed in the air like lightning, and only the trouser legs rubbed against the air and snorted.

After practicing the leg method, I wiped the sweat on my forehead and climbed to the old locust tree at the top of the valley. Press your palms down the dantian, take a deep breath, and calm the qi in your chest. The right hand fist was swung out instantly, and the qi burst out from the dantian, "Ha! It's like a muffled thunder that explodes out of thin air. The fist slammed into the tree, and the trunk of the tree that the two of them could hug shook unexpectedly, and some thumbs of the earth leaves fell down.

Zhang Taiping clenched his numb fist, and he was also surprised. The Eight Poles Collapse was originally an instantaneous power type, not so much a fist technique, but a secret to the use of strength. It's somewhat similar to Cun Jin, and it's a very strong punch with a small range of attacks. Zhang Taiping knew that after being moistened by the jade pendant, his body was strengthened; But I really didn't expect that with the collapse fist, it exerted such power.

Put away your mind and put your back on the trunk of the tree. The waist exerts force, twists slightly, the back and shoulders thump, thump, thump against the trunk, and the mouth is accompanied by the exhaled "hi, hi, hi". Don't look at this action is simple, but the effect is huge, whether it is the strength of the waist and abdomen or the skill of lifting the shoulders back. The tree shook slightly with each blow.

It wasn't until I was sweating profusely that the heat emanated from the bone marrow, which was very refreshing, and it had the same effect as drinking the spring water in the space.

Zhang Taiping looked at the scattered leaves, looked around, and took out a ball of spring water with his mind and poured it on the root of the old locust tree. The effect is not as obvious as watering vegetables, but it is also like a second spring, and the leaves are green like spring at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zhang Taiping patted the trunk of the tree with satisfaction, and then grabbed his shirt and put it on his shoulder and walked back.

When I arrived in the backyard, I happened to meet Cai Xiaomei who came out of the toilet, Zhang Taiping just wanted to talk, but he didn't want Cai Xiaomei to scold with her eyes wide open.

"Shameless!"

In the countryside, and even in many cities, it is commonplace for men to go shirtless in the summer.

It may be that Zhang Taiping's body has too strong a visual impact, not to mention that he has just finished exercising, and his masculinity is strong. Cai Xiaomei scolded in a ghostly manner, and even felt inexplicable after scolding. With a blushing face, he turned around and ran into the house.

Zhang Taiping looked down, shook his head, and didn't pay attention to it. I walked through the yard and fetched a towel and went up the river in front of the door.

After taking a shower, my wife had already prepared breakfast.

After breakfast, I hesitated for a long time, but I still called my wife to the door. There is no way, a penny is difficult for a hero.

opened his mouth, and thought in his heart, even if he was a ball, it would not be a shame to be in front of his daughter-in-law.

"I'd like to go to the town market and give me some money."

After hearing this, his wife's face turned pale instantly, she looked up at the calm Zhang Taiping, hesitated for a long time, bit her lip and turned around to enter the house, and closed the bedroom door lightly.

It didn't take long to come out with a stack of money. It's said to be a stack, but it's not much. Three of a hundred pieces, two of twenty, and the rest of the ten pieces, for a total of four hundred. The three denominations of 100 are still Cai Xiaomei gave the balance of 500 to her sister last night, and the small denominations are all accumulated by his wife who usually collects mountain goods.

After taking the money, looking at the tears that his wife was holding back and rolling in her eyes and the divine light behind the tears, Zhang Taiping felt that the money was more important than ten thousand gold. I tried to explain something, but found that all words were pale and weak. Sighing helplessly, he can only prove it with his actions.

Rinse the 28 bike that has not been used for a long time from beginning to end, find a rag to wipe it clean, and put a snakeskin bag on the back seat. Only then did he mount his mount and set off along the river road.

The river flows out of the mountains, and the source is unknown, and the water is crystal clear, and you can occasionally see flashing fish and crabs drying on the stones.

Although it is located deep in the mountains, the road along the river while leaning against the mountain is not a sheep's intestine path, and it is about four meters wide enough to accommodate small pickup trucks. The road surface is paved with a layer of gravel and fine sand, and it will not be very muddy even on rainy days. This road was opened in the 90s in response to the slogan of "If you want to get rich, build the road first", the people of the whole village worked together to pay for it, and it has really brought a lot of convenience to the village over the years. At least the trucks that collect grain and fruits can drive into the mountains, and it is much more convenient for people to go out and sell some mountain goods and medicinal materials, and their incomes have increased.

Zhang Taiping's house is in the southernmost part of the village, slightly higher ground, and he is riding a bicycle and lowering it. Jagged houses are scattered on both sides of the river, and chic eaves with a retro flavor are visible among the trees. Passing through it, the breeze of autumn and summer caresses the face, as if walking in the center of the painting, and the elegant and tranquil rhythm can be seen everywhere.

Rushing out of the village, looking north, there are still mountains under the clear blue sky with a few cotton clouds floating. Zhang Taiping hurriedly whipped up, accompanied by the reflection reflected in the river, more than ten miles of road passed.

As soon as I turned a hill, the scenery in front of me suddenly changed.

This village is called Fengyukou Village, with five or six hundred households, which can be regarded as a well-known large village. Although it is not yet outside the mountain, it has a strong modern atmosphere. There are all brick-covered buildings, and there are no longer a few two-story and three-story buildings, and many of them have signs of "accommodation" and "farmhouse" erected in front of them. The ground is all concrete, and the road is lined with neat landscape trees, and cars can be seen parked under the trees from time to time.

Fengyukou Village is adjacent to the famous Taixing Mountain in the southern part of Xi'an. Taixing Mountain was originally a holy place for men and women who believed in the temple fair. The mountain is more than 3,000 meters high, there are more than 100 temples of all kinds, the incense is at its peak from May to September every year, and people come and go, and there is an endless stream. In addition, the scenery is beautiful and peculiar, although it is not as exaggerated as Huashan, but it can also be associated with the word "risk", which will attract a large number of people from the city to visit every year.

The village chief of Fengyukou Village, Rope Damin, is a capable and energetic person, and he is willing to do some practical things for the villagers. He keenly sees the business opportunities. Therefore, Taixing Mountain is applied for as a landscape area, and the gate into the mountain is set up at the entrance of the village, and the outsiders charge 20 yuan, and the people near the left charge 2 to 5 yuan, and the input of a year is also expensive. He also strongly encouraged the villagers to set up farmhouses, and his own family was the largest farmhouse in the village as a role model.

Over the years, the villagers who were the first to stand up have really made a lot of money.

Zhang Taiping thought about it, now the city is full of high-rise buildings, and people's living standards have improved. But the foul air, the tight rhythm makes people feel uncomfortable in one way or another, either physically or psychologically. After busy work, they will find ways to relax and relax, and the farmhouse that has developed rapidly in recent years has become the first choice for people who are tired of the urban environment and have never distinguished the grains in their lives. It can not only stay away from the invasion of various public hazards, but also enjoy the infinite scenery of nature in the suburbs; You can not only relax your surname to relieve stress, but also enjoy the leisure and comfort of the farmhouse.

The cement road is fast, and it takes less than ten minutes from Fengyukou Village to the asphalt road around the mountain.

This kind of "28 donkey" is rare nowadays, and the bicycles are all variable speed or road bikes, or simply whistling motorcycles. Zhang Taiping's tall horse is already eye-catching, and then stepping on a mount from the 80s has attracted attention all the way.

The town is not too far from Fengyukou, and the horsepower is released around the mountain road, and it will be there at nine o'clock.

Yinzhen Cross is the most prosperous area of Yinzhen. The bazaar is to lead the town cross as the center to radiate four streets, three horizontal and one vertical, constituting a "Feng" word. The north and south vertical streets are the main streets, and there are many shops on both sides of the street, it is only nine o'clock, and there are already a variety of stalls, shouting and shouting.

Zhang Taiping came from the south and the first thing he entered was part of the fruit stall area. Most of the fruits sold in this area are occupied by locals for a short period of time, and it is still far from the cross, which is relatively remote compared to other areas. Even so, the stall needs to be occupied in advance the night before, and in the morning before dawn it has to be put on the table, otherwise someone else will occupy it. Those prosperous areas near the cross or specially opened squares were leased out by the political axe. The stalls set up here are all small fruit farmers in the vicinity of the left to retail every day, and the people who sell things are basically women and the elderly, and it is good to sell sixty or seventy yuan a day.

Most of the fruits ripen in autumn. There are apples, pears, dates, and so on. There are also nuts such as walnuts, chestnuts, etc. Peaches and grapes are also sold.

At this time, the apples and pears are not yet ripe. The apples are just colored, even green, but the core has been opened, and they taste astringent and sweet. The pear is also just yellow, not juicy when it is not ripe, but it is mixed with sweet and sour, and it is more popular with children than when it is ripe. Fruit farmers pick and unload it early, just to get a good price and more income. After all, out-of-season fruits are always very popular.

Peaches and grapes in autumn are also rare. Not including, of course, the grapes in the fruit store, which God knows how long they have been sitting. Just talking about freshness, these peaches and grapes are not new varieties because of the grower's technique of slowing down the growth cycle of the fruit.
