Chapter 65: Bucker Master Yan
On this day, the artist from Qilu finished his performance and received unanimous praise from passers-by, and received at least hundreds of Tongzi rewards, which made him very happy.
Chancheng, what a great place!
Recalling the hardships of rushing all the way from Qilu to Chancheng, the artist's face was full of vicissitudes, carefully counting the coppers, and his originally bitter face showed a happy smile.
At this time, a group of young people from the militia came to inspect, and two junior brothers of Zhongyitang came over together, stood in front of the stall of the martial artists, and said with a smile: "Master Yan, today's harvest is good!" ”
"Accept your good words, it's not bad!"
The artist took out five coppers and handed them to the visitor, and said with a smile: "I understand the rules, the stall fee of five coppers a day will not be less than one!" ”
In front of the young people of the militia, the younger brother of Zhongyitang counted the coppers and put them in the pocket in his pocket, and said with a smile; "Master Yan, seeing that your hard work is quite good, and the income from performing on the street is still too small, why don't I introduce you to a profession that makes a lot of money?"
Master Yan, a merchant, put away the copper with his hands and feet, and said vigilantly; "What kind of business, you won't ask me to do such a hurtful thing, right?"
Although it was a joke, the defense in Master Yan's eyes revealed his true thoughts.
"How so?"
Zhongyitang, who had collected the fees, was not angry, shook his head and said; "It's a good day, but if you do that hurtful thing, you can't spare me in the first place!"
"That brother means ......"
Master Yan was puzzled, seeing that the little brother of Zhongyitang who collected the money had a good attitude, of course, more importantly, he was confident in his own strength, and he collected the guys who performed on the street, so he didn't rush to leave and asked curiously.
In other words, his luck is really good, the first time he came to Chancheng to beg for a living, the first thing he went to was the territory controlled by Zhongyitang.
The bustling street was unexpected, and he was even more surprised, or lamented, that it was the orderly and good security environment here.
Although Master Yan's martial arts are extraordinary, he is not worried about ordinary street gangsters finding fault at all, otherwise he would not be able to rush all the way from Qilu to Chancheng.
Of course, more is better than less, he still has to rely on street performances to eat, if he puts too much thought and energy into entanglement with the gangsters on the street, I am afraid that he will starve to death a long time ago.
Therefore, when it is time to be soft, take it soft, as long as the local head snake does not go too far.
The journey was hard, but he was 'oppressed', and most of the rewards earned from street performances were handed over to local snakes to buy peace, and his life was quite boring.
The situation here in Chancheng is very good, there are not many entertainers performing on the street, and the people of Chancheng are quite generous, and their income in one day is more than in the past five or six days.
There are also gangsters here who collect fees, but they are much less than elsewhere, and the fees of five cents a day are really not much, compared to his daily gains, which makes his life much more nourishing.
Moreover, after paying the fee once, there is no need to worry about the rest of the troubles, whether it is a ruffian or a government official, there is no more thing to collect money and find faults.
Unlike other places, once his income increases, there will immediately be a group of vicious wolves, as if they smell blood, pounce fiercely, even if he just paid the fee in the morning, he still has to pay it again in the afternoon, otherwise he doesn't want to live in peace, and there are other local snakes exploiting, it is simply annoying.
Chancheng is very good, the help of Zhongyitang is quite trustworthy, and they will never come again after collecting the fees, and at the same time, they have also cleared other distractions, so that Master Yan can rest assured that he can perform on the street and earn much more income than other places.
It's just that......
Such a good day, Master Yan didn't think it could last long, and the helpers who were not loyal to the Yitang who collected fees came to the door and said something like making a lot of money.
He has traveled from south to north for so long, and he knows that it is impossible to drop pies in the sky for nothing, is the silver so easy to earn?
Fortunately, in these days of performing on the streets of Chancheng, he has accumulated a lot of money on hand, which is enough for him to spend more than a few months cautiously, even if he can't get along in Chancheng, he will continue to perform on the street in the next town, and he has enough entanglement and confidence.
As for making a lot of money, he wasn't interested at all!
He won't do anything that hurts nature and reason, this is Master Yan's bottom line.
The junior brother of Zhongyitang, who received the money, knew that Master Yan had so many thoughts in his heart in an instant, and asked straight to the point; "I don't know if Master Yan knows about the entertainment city at the pier?"
"In my spare time, I've heard of one or two!"
Master Yan was a little puzzled, and didn't understand why the other party suddenly changed the topic, wasn't he still talking about making a lot of money just now?
He has been in Chancheng for more than half a month, and naturally he has heard of the name of the dock entertainment city.
In my spare time, I heard the rumors in the rented inn, and I heard that the wharf entertainment city is a gold cave, with everything to eat, drink and play, and most of them are patronized by foreigners, and it is said that it is very lively.
Just listen to it, Master Yan didn't have the idea of joining in the fun at all, or trying it out.
The pier is not a good place for him to perform and make money, he naturally has no interest in going to the entertainment city to spend in the past, and it is estimated that the money he makes these days will have to be exhausted if he goes to the entertainment city once.
"Then Master Yan, have you ever heard of the ring competition in the dock entertainment city?"
The little brother of Zhongyitang, who collected the money, said excitedly; "I've also watched some of Master Yan's performances these days, Master Yan is a man with real skills, do you want to go to the ring of the dock entertainment city to try it?"
"Fighting in the ring?"
Master Yan's expression moved, and he did have some intention in his heart, he naturally heard a lot of rumors about such a hot topic as the competition in the dock entertainment city, and it was a stage for the strong to perform.
Not only foreign warriors participated, but also many well-known boxers in Chancheng also participated, the most famous is the two disciples of Huang Feihong, the master of Chancheng Nanquan, one of whom is also the famous double-flower red stick Lei Hu Tiger Master of Zhongyi Hall, who has made a good name in the ring.
What martial arts practitioner doesn't want to make a name for himself?
It's just that Master Yan has always been cautious, and although he was very moved by the proposal of the little brother of Zhongyi Hall in front of him, he was not without worries, and asked directly: "Why so-and-so?" ”
Although there are not many stalls on the streets of Chancheng, he is not the only one.
"Didn't you say it, Master Yan has real skills, so I just invited Master Yan!"
The little brother of Zhongyitang, who received the money, was not angry, and patiently explained; "The competition in the dock entertainment city, there is a purpose for the tiger master to meet the masters of the north and south for a while, of course, it is also the purpose to give the foreigners who came with the ship a place to exert their strength, Master Yan will not suspect that I am deceiving you, right?"
Master Yan was silent, and directly acquiesced to the statement of the junior brother of Zhongyi Hall......
