The hustle and bustle in the dining room continued, but it was much lower than just now, not because the long-term and short-term workers didn't want to talk anymore, but because their mouths were empty. The cooking lady has already made today's dinner and is distributing it to the long-term and short-term workers, and a group of people lined up to take the gruel from the mother-in-law in turn.

The forty-eight people who participated in the fight all have meat to eat today, two pieces of braised pork that are not too big, half fat and half thin.

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up his gruel and meat, walked slowly to the side of Baishui Wang Er, put the bowl casually, and sat down. picked up a piece of meat with bamboo chopsticks and put it in Wang Er's bowl.

"Second Brother Wang, this is what you gave me last night, and now I can return it to you." Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously.

"Hey!" Wang Er was not polite, as soon as the chopsticks moved, he threw this piece of meat into his mouth, drank a mouthful of porridge, stretched out his hand to wipe it on his mouth, his mouth was full of oil, and he was quite informal: "Zhu Ba, you kid is good, you actually knocked down twenty-five by yourself, I really looked away before, thinking you were a worm, but I didn't expect to be a well-known good man." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said modestly: "It's not comparable to the second brother Wang, I know my own affairs, this little bit of loose kung fu is less than one-tenth of the second brother Wang, if you really let go of the fight, the forty-seven thieves and birds will all be overturned by you alone." ”

Wang Er was willing to believe it, and said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, do you think I can't see it?" Your fist is not simple! Simple and direct, recruit to hit the key point, don't shoot when it's just, once you shoot, the opposite side must fall down, my red fist is a white learning, are some flower boxing embroidered legs, in the useless...... This time, I finally saw what real boxing is! How about teaching me? I'm the one who has the most interest in boxing. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart moved...... You must know that no matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to beat the world with one hand and one pair of legs. In order to gain the power of the world and become a human being, it is necessary to have right and left hands. The second white water king has a strong physique, can fight and rush, and is simple-minded and easy to control, such a person is the object that he can rest assured to accept.

But this person's problem is that he is too unruly, if he wants to use power to control him, he will be deflated like a Qi manager, and for people like Wang Er, he needs to use brotherhood to impress him, so that he can do things willingly and cultivate brotherhood, and it is not too late to start now.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and said sincerely: "Since the second brother wants to learn, of course the brother is willing to share, let's communicate in the courtyard tonight." ”

Wang Er is overjoyed!

That night, the moon hung high and there were no clouds in the sky to obscure the moon...... One of the benefits of the great drought in the world is that it is rare to see half a cloud in the sky, and there is plenty of sunshine during the day and a clear moon at night. The side courtyard is reflected in the moonlight into a silvery white piece, and the sight is good.

Wang Er and Zhu Yuanzhang were boxing in the courtyard, and Zhu Yuanzhang caused a lot of laughter when he boxed last night, but today is different, the long-term and short-term workers who are watching from the windows on all sides, watching Zhu Yuanzhang punch and kick every kick, have to shout a good word, even if it is a nameless kick, there are people who can tell a few truths in one by one.

"Don't look at Zhu Bugs' soft punch, this is because Zhu Bugs didn't exert his strength, if he 'hey' and snorted softly, the small tree with a thick bowl mouth would immediately shatter." A long-term worker explained to the person next to him with a mouth full of nonsense.

Another short-term worker who participated in the daytime fight scolded with a smile: "Less, Zhu Bugs never make a sound in his mouth when he punches, I have been walking around behind Zhu Bugs' buttocks during the day, and I can see it clearly, when he knocked down the enemy, he didn't snort...... People are fighting silent fists. ”

"How can you fight hard without making a sound?" Someone wondered.

"Brother Zhu said, before you punched, you said 'hey', you are reminding the enemy 'I punched', isn't that person still wary of you?" A long-term worker said proudly: "What I want is to be silent and knock me down with one punch." ”

"It's noisy, shut up for me." Bai Shui Wang Er said impatiently: "Lao Tzu practice boxing, the people around him are constantly chattering, you don't come to the yard to practice together, just let me sleep." ”

The long-term workers were so frightened by this roar that their heads shrank and obediently went back to the bed.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Wang Er looked at each other and smiled, and continued to practice boxing.

Wang Er's red fist has a considerable foundation, rigid and soft, tight and loose, calm and light, in fact, it already has a good power. But he thought that Zhu Yuanzhang's boxing skills were more powerful, and insisted on following Zhu Yuanzhang to learn a simple and direct punch to knock him down.

To be honest, the boxing technique of knocking down with one punch can't be taught, because there are no routines at all, all of them are practiced by Zhu Yuanzhang in the military career of blood and fire in the previous life, and he can only let Wang Er experience it in actual combat in the future, he let Wang Er keep the routines of the red fist, just to help him reduce the useless tricks in the red fist.

For example, before a certain move is punched, in order to look good, he wants to put on a posture of turning around, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Wang Er to cancel this posture and then make this move, sure enough, after this simple change, the punch is much cleaner and faster.

After the two practiced for a while, Wang Er felt that he had gained a lot, and he was so excited that he danced. Straight to the first watch, Wang Er was still practicing with great interest.

Zhu Yuanzhang went back to the house to rest by himself, today's exercise is enough, and he only practices boxing to strengthen his body, not to charge into battle, there is no need to work as hard as Wang Er.

Second, Zhu Yuanzhang got up early in the morning, Wang Er was no longer in the courtyard, it seems that although this guy is a little stupid, he will not practice boxing all night, and he will go to sleep after almost three watches, right?

He walked to the cowshed and pulled out the big cattle that were still napping, intending to start the day's cattle herding work.

Suddenly seeing Yang Chao coming over, this guy seemed to have a little indignation on his face, and his eyes were also a little ill-intentioned when he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, full of jealousy, envy, and hatred. Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was slightly vigilant, he had seen this kind of vision a lot before, and whenever he saw such emotions in the eyes of others, it meant that this person had listed you as an enemy...... I want to trample you under my feet!

But why did he suddenly have such emotions? I also deliberately calmed him last night so that he would not list me as an adversary for the time being...... Could it be that something has changed?

Yang Chao shouted unhappily at Zhu Yuanzhang: "Zhu Ba...... What are you called...... Don't fucking die, Steward Qi wants to see you. ”

"Steward looking for me? Can I help you? Zhu Yuanzhang observed Yang Chao's expression and said slowly.

The jealousy, envy, and hatred in Yang Chao's eyes became stronger, and his tone became more unpleasant: "Don't you know when you see Qi Guanshi?" You ask me what I'm doing! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was bright: It seems that Manager Qi wants to see me, which is a good thing for me and a bad thing for Yang Chao, so he has such emotions. If it's as expected...... I'm going to reap the rewards of yesterday's performance.

With Zhu Ba's memory, Zhu Yuanzhang walked towards the room of the Qi manager, which was the best house in the side courtyard, built with neat square bricks, painted with gray mud outside, warm in winter and cool in summer, compared to the mud houses and grass huts where long-term and short-term workers lived, I don't know how many times more comfortable.

There is a small courtyard in front of the house, which is very quiet, and there is no other room around the yard except for the brick house of the Qi manager, so this courtyard is exclusive to the Qi manager, unlike the place where Zhu Yuanzhang lives, there is a circle of grass houses around the yard, and a punch will alarm a bunch of people.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the front of Steward Qi's house, and did not go in directly, but stood by the door and said loudly inside: "Steward Qi, Zhu Ba is here!" ”

"I knew that Zhu Ba was a person who knew etiquette, just now Yang Chao came over after killing, and he didn't say hello, he went directly to my house, what kind of place did he think I was here?" Steward Qi's voice came from the room: "Come in." ”

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang walk into the room of the Qi manager.

Here he entered the steward's room for the first time, and it was also Zhu Ba's first time, so there was no memory of this room in his body. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this room with the corner of his eye, this should be a living room, in addition to the door he walked into, there are two small doors on the left and right, which seem to lead to the bedroom and the study.

The bedroom and the study were not to be seen, and there were not many things in the living room, with a square table and four or five chairs, all of which were nailed to shoddy wooden boards. There was a teapot on the table, but only one cup was prepared, which was the cup that Steward Qi was using himself, and it seemed that he had no intention of entertaining Zhu Yuanzhang to drink tea.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang entered the living room, he stood still and asked in a low voice, "Steward Qi, what are you looking for me?" ”

Steward Qi picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, and then said slowly: "You also heard it in the dining room yesterday, and the second young master said that as long as I help him do a few more things, he will transfer me to the inner courtyard as a deputy steward after a while." ”

"I heard that, I wonder what this has to do with me?" Zhu Yuanzhang actually had the answer in his heart, but he still deliberately asked like this.

"Heh, although your kid has become smarter, he is still a little behind." Steward Qi said proudly: "If I leave here, there must be a new steward in this side courtyard, right?" This new steward is my class, of course the second young master wants to ask my opinion, as long as I say who is suitable, who can be the new steward of the side hospital, you can tell me, who do you want to be the new manager of the side court? ”

Sure enough, this is the case, Zhu Yuanzhang said quietly: "So that's the case, everyone knows that Brother Yang Chao is your right and left hand, and this is the manager of the hospital, of course, Brother Yang Chao will take over." Or...... Second Brother Wang? I think it's good to choose one of the new stewards between Brother Yang Chao and Second Brother Wang. ”

Steward Qi frowned and said, "Yang Chao, this kid...... It's not a climate, as for Wang Er, hum, disobedient! He paused deliberately, and then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile and said: "This side hospital manager, I want to find someone who listens to me and is sensible, in the future, I will be the deputy manager of the inner courtyard, and the people in the side courtyard can also help me support some tables...... Do you understand that? ”
