Chapter 2 Apprenticeship with Ip Man
The figure flashed, and a middle-aged man who was not tall and wore a black Republic of China coat walked out of the warehouse quickly. Seeing Zuo Xiaoyou wearing a dress (casual wear in 2015), with a hint of surprise and expectation in his eyes, he asked: "I'm Ip Man, are you here to learn boxing?" ”
Seeing this middle-aged man who was a head shorter than himself, and a face that was exactly the same as Mako Dan, Zuo Xiaoyou was a little excited. Brother Zidan! This is the living Zi Dange!
For a young actor who has been running for more than ten years, Zi Dange is definitely a legendary emperor superstar, if he didn't know that the person in front of him was just a role played by Zi Dange, he really wanted to ask for an autograph.
"Master Ye." Zuo Xiaoyou's face was full of respect, and he clenched his fists and arched his hands: "I have admired the name for a long time, and the disciple Zuo Xiaoyou begged Master Ye to accept me as an apprentice." ”
"Okay, no problem." Ip Man smiled, but he smiled a little shyly, and rubbed his hands: "Pay the tuition first, pay the tuition." ”
“……”
Now Ip Man is really poor, for the sake of tuition, any apprentice is willing to teach, and the tuition fee is cheap to death, only five yuan a month.
In Xiangjiang in 1950, if you just eat steamed buns, five yuan can make an ordinary person eat for half a month, but Ip Man's family of three, his wife is still pregnant, and five yuan is enough for a family for three days at most, which is not enough to live at all.
"Master, your Wing Chun is so powerful that you only charge five dollars a month for tuition?" Zuo Xiaoyou wanted to help Ip Man raise the price: "It's too cheap!" How can you do it without fifty a month. ”
"No, no, five dollars is enough, enough." Ip Man is a sincere person: "Fifty is too expensive, no one will spend so much money to learn martial arts." ”
“……”
I can't talk tactfully to honest people, so I can only take out a hundred yuan from my trouser pocket. After thinking about it, he silently recited another twenty yuan, and made up a total of one hundred and twenty yuan and handed it to Ip Man.
"What is this?" Seeing so much money, Ye Man was stunned and didn't understand what Zuo Xiaoyou meant.
"Master, this is two years' tuition." Zuo Xiaoright bent his knees and kowtowed: "I implore Master to pass on the essence of Wing Chun to his disciples." ”
Zuo Xiaoyou's 'sincerity' (banknote) moved Ip Man, and he quickly helped Zuo Xiaoyou up, and said happily: "Okay, if you want to learn, I will teach with my heart." Come, as a teacher, I will pass on your Wing Chun now. ”
"Thank you, Master!"
"Complete Main Quest 1: Apprenticeship with Ip Man."
Zuo Xiaoyou breathed a sigh of relief, remembered one thing, and said, "Master, can you teach again tomorrow?" I have something to do today. ”
"Yes, you can go and get busy! Come early tomorrow. With one hundred and twenty yuan, Ip Man is in a good mood, this money is enough for his family to eat and wear for two months, and he has no choice but to ask for Zuo Xiaoyou.
"Thank you, Master."
Saying goodbye to Ip Man, Zuo Xiaoyou went to a nearby police station, and he first had to solve the problem of identity in this world. Nowadays, Xiangjiang is very lenient in the management of household registration, no matter where you come from, as long as you go to the local police station to file, you can immediately get the local household registration. With a hukou, you can buy your own property in the local area.
Judging by the time pattern of the whole movie, it should only be a few months from beginning to end. Because when Zhang Yongcheng first appeared, her belly looked like it was five or six months old, and when the movie ended, she had just given birth to a child a few days ago, so the whole process was only three or four months at most, and in such a short time, renting a house was the best choice, but Zuo Xiaoyou had his own considerations, and he decided to buy a property.
The household registration process was very easy, and after finding the local police station, it only took half an hour to get the legal household registration. Then left and right went to see the house non-stop.
During this period, Xiangjiang real estate was not as tense as in later generations, and there were also newly built real estate waiting to be sold, so Zuo Xiaoyou quickly found a newly built and fairly eye-catching property, a thousand-foot mansion on the second floor.
Many people don't know much about the so-called thousand-foot mansion in Xiangjiang, and most people may think that the thousand-foot mansion is a thousand-square-meter mansion, or a three-foot mansion is one meter, and naturally imagine it as a three-hundred-square-meter mansion or something. Not really.
The so-called thousand-foot mansion is actually only 91 square meters in size.
You heard it right, in Xiangjiang, a place where every inch of land is valuable, a 91-square-meter house can indeed be called a mansion. Like the mainland, there is no double-storey villa of more than 300 square meters, you are embarrassed to say that you live in a mansion, and the palace compound in the ancient city is like a park, and no one can get lost.
Zuo Xiaoyou's house belonged to the latest building pattern in 1950, but in Zuo Xiaoyou's eyes, it was very simple, especially the toilet, which was not a flush toilet, but a squatting toilet.
Squat and squat! It's better than others going to the pit.
The new house has been simply renovated, the floors have been paved, the walls have been painted, and the water and electricity are complete. Probably clean it up, buy some furniture and move in.
After giving the sales staff ten yuan benefits, the staff enthusiastically helped Zuo Xiaoyou find a cleaner, and helped contact the furniture factory.
Left and right did not buy kitchen supplies.
First, there were no range hoods in this era;
Second, there were no gas stoves in this era, and people used firewood or coal for cooking, and the more advanced ones were honeycomb coal stoves. For modern people, it is too painful to use those things, and it is not healthy.
Didn't buy kitchen utensils, but bought some teapots and chopsticks. The house has three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a balcony.
Zuo Xiaoyou put a wooden bed, a large wardrobe, and two sets of bedding in each room.
There is no sofa in the living room, only a table of eight immortals, four wooden chairs, and a lot of empty places, but I have just moved in, and the time is not enough, so I will slowly add it later.
In addition, Zuo Xiaoyou also bought two new clothes for backup.
In 1950, you could still buy good quality clothes, as long as you were willing to spend money, some of them were places that sold dresses, and they could be tailor-made.
These two sets of clothes were put into the watch space by Zuo Xiaoyou, so that he could change clothes at any time.
The beef noodles eaten at the food stall downstairs for dinner, the beef portion is very large, the noodles are also strong, the soup is better, and the left and right are satisfied. The last checkout, two dollars...... This is still because of the large amount of beef, otherwise the beef noodles without meat only cost five cents a bowl, which can make people cry cheaply.
It's a wonderful time...... As long as you have a million.
……
"What's going on?"
Before going to bed, Zuo Xiaoyou went to the bathroom to brush his teeth, but saw an amazing picture in the mirror.
The eyes are bright and the skin is smooth and tender, and the iron-blue stubble caused by frequent shaving is gone. really responded to that sentence - a young man, full of energy.
Zuo Xiaoyou touched his face, his eyes were quite uncalm, this was exactly what he looked like when he was 20 years old.
"Blackie, what's going on?"
Xiao Hei is the name of the smart in the watch. Because the watch is black, the name is also imagery.
"The user performed a baptism of time and space while traveling through time and space, which caused the body to grow in reverse."
"Reverse growth?" Zuo Xiaoyou's face changed, and he thought of a very terrible consequence: "Is it possible that you have to be ten years younger if you shuttle once?" Then I'll shuttle three times......"
"Please rest assured that the baptism of time and space is only once, and it will not be repeated."
Xiao Hei's answer made Zuo Xiaoyou breathe a sigh of relief, but he was still a little worried: "What if I go back to the real world?" ”
In reality, he is a thirty-year-old uncle, and going back like this will definitely arouse suspicion.
"Users can find a remote mountainous area to settle in." Blackie has a bad idea.
“……”
Ten years younger is still beneficial, this is equivalent to getting ten years of youth for nothing, and the left and right who are in a good mood throw themselves on the bed and turn off the lights. After a tiring day, I quickly fell asleep comfortably.
Early in the morning, Zuo Xiaoyou got up from the bed energetically and got into the bathroom to get a large size. By the way, I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and wiped my body with a damp towel.
In the 50s, there was no water heater in Xiangjiang, and the left and right were lucky, and there was a bathtub in this newly built building, and there was a faucet at the end of the bathtub to put water, but there was only cold water, and if you wanted to take a hot bath, you had to boil it yourself.
Zuo Xiaoyou didn't buy a coal stove, there was no hot water, and he didn't have a hobby of taking a cold bath, so he wiped his body with a wet towel.
The wet towel rubbed on his body, and he had goosebumps in the cold. Soak the towel in the water, and pat his face in the mirror: "When you return to modern times, you must take a hot bath." ”
After cleaning up, Zuo Xiaoyou went out of the house and went to the food stall downstairs for breakfast.
Before and after the Anti-Japanese War, many mainland refugees took refuge in Xiangjiang, and delicacies from all over the world also poured into this square inch of land, so the food in Xiangjiang was very rich.
There are also a variety of breakfasts, such as shrimp dumplings, fried noodles, fried buns, and fried beef rivers, which are generally more southern-style flavors.
Zuo Xiaoyou is a native of Beihe, who likes pasta, and bought ten fried buns and a bowl of bean curd from the breakfast stall, which is simple and delicious. The last checkout, two pieces of two...... The cheap ones don't have a place to make sense.
I looked at my watch, it was half past seven in the morning, and it was not far from the place where I practiced martial arts, and it only took ten minutes to walk.
When he reached the rooftop, he found that the door was locked, and there was no half of a figure in sight.
"Why hasn't Master come yet?"
Zuo Xiaoyou is a little bored, I don't know where Ip Man lives yet, and I can't use Xiaomi to call Apple in this era, so I can only sit patiently on the rooftop and wait.
Sitting on the edge of the rooftop and looking into the distance, the old buildings and the pedestrians in the style of the Republic of China are proving to him that this is an era full of darkness but a hundred ruins waiting to be rebuilt, full of unknown wonders.
"Ip Man's world ......," muttered left and right.
After waiting for almost twenty minutes, Ip Man finally came.
