Chapter 62: Red Fan District
The plane landed in San Francisco.
San Francisco, also known as "San Francisco" and "San Francisco", is a port city on the Pacific coast of California, USA, and is a world-famous tourist attraction and the fourth most populous city in California. San Francisco is close to Silicon Valley, a world-famous high-tech industrial area, and is also one of the most densely populated areas of Chinese in the Western Hemisphere, second only to New York in terms of the total number of Chinese.
After getting off the plane, the three groups of people parted ways, Liangkun went straight to Silicon Valley with Marydonna, Ye Yingwen, and Fang Yanping under the leadership of Qiusheng, Chen Jiaju went to Chinatown, and Li Lianjie stayed in the hotel arranged by the sponsor with the team of martial arts performance troupes.
……
According to the address given to him by Uncle Biao, Chen Jiaju successfully found the supermarket opened by Uncle Biao's second brother Lei Rongbiao in Chinatown.
Chen Jiaju pushed open the door of the store and walked in.
A middle-aged man who looked exactly like Uncle Biao sat behind the counter and shouted without raising his head, "Welcome!" ”
Chen Jiaju walked to the counter and said, "Second uncle, it's me, Jiaju!" ”
Lei Rongbiao raised his head, showed a surprised smile, and said, "It's you, Jiaju." ”
Seeing Lei Rongbiao looking behind him, Chen Jiaju said with regret: "The second uncle, the eldest uncle and the third uncle didn't come. ”
Lei Rongbiao threw away the pen in his hand, took off the glasses on his face, and said: "The eldest brother is like this, and the third brother is also like this, it is too unrighteous." ”
Chen Jiaju said: "It's not to blame them, what you did is indeed a bit outrageous." ”
Lei Rongbiao came out from behind the counter, grabbed Chen Jiaju's collar, and said, "Stinky boy, what did you say?" Am I outrageous? Marilyn and I are truly in love, and if you say this, believe it or not, I can sue you to jail? In the United States, racial discrimination is sinful. ”
Chen Jiaju had no choice but to beg for mercy: "Second uncle, I was wrong, you let me go!" ”
Lei Rongbiao let go of Chen Jiaju's collar with satisfaction, and helped him dust off the dust that did not exist on his clothes.
Lei Rongbiao said: "You kid is not bad, you have righteousness, and you know that you came to attend the wedding of your second uncle." Originally, I wanted to sell this store and give my eldest brother and third brother a share. Now, they don't even come to my wedding, they don't have any money. Jiaju, you came from afar, I won't let you go back to Hong Kong empty-handed, and I will count you as your share of the money from selling supermarkets. ”
Chen Jiaju said: "Second uncle, isn't this okay?!" ”
Lei Rongbiao said nonchalantly: "What's wrong? At the beginning, the money for my ferry ticket to the United States was made up by my eldest brother and third brother. At that time, I swore that as long as I made money, I would give them a share. Now, if they don't want it, I'll give it to you, and I'll treat it as to them. Anyway, your father is also my cousin, and the fertilizer and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders. ”
Lei Rongbiao recalled with embarrassment that more than 20 years ago, the eldest brother Lei Huabiao and the third brother Lei Huabiao pooled money to buy a long-distance ferry ticket, tied themselves up, and threw them on a ship to the United States.
Chen Jiaju shook his head and said, "Second uncle, forget it, if you have money, keep it for your own retirement!" By the way, second uncle, why do you still sell a good supermarket? ”
Lei Rongbiao said: "With hair, who wants to be bald? I'm getting old and getting married, and I really can't cope with such a big supermarket, and I don't want to work hard anymore. ”
While Chen Jiaju and Lei Rongbiao were chatting, a policeman outside the supermarket was chasing a black man, shouting "stop" over and over again, while the other ran wildly regardless of his life.
Chen Jiaju said: "Wow, second uncle, it looks complicated here. ”
Lei Rongbiao said: "You will know when you stay." In the United States, the most important thing is to be less busy. ”
"Honey, I'm back!" A sweet and greasy voice came in, and then Chen Jiaju saw a black woman who could be measured in tons squeeze in through the spring door of the supermarket.
Chen Jiaju really couldn't combine her image with Marilyn Monroe.
Chen Jiaju can't see the age of black women at all, let's just assume that she is thirty or forty years old!
The black aunt carried something in both hands, walked up to Lei Rongbiao, threw away the bag in her hand, hugged Lei Rongbiao, kissed her three times from the left cheek to the lips to the right cheek, and then let go of Lei Rongbiao.
Chen Jiaju could see that Lei Rongbiao's face was not pretended.
"Marilyn, this is my nephew's foal." Lei Rongbiao introduced the two of them to each other, "Jiaju, this is your future aunt, Marilyn." ”
"Jiaju, your uncle often mentions you!" Marilyn hugged Chen Jiaju at once and gave Chen Jiaju a passionate kiss as concocted.
After letting go of Chen Jiaju, Marilyn held Lei Rongbiao's cheek and said, "Honey, do you know that the champagne has arrived!" ”
Lei Rongbiao said: "Don't worry, everything is done, go ask Tina." ”
Seeing Marilyn rushing out of the supermarket to find Tina's back, Lei Rongbiao explained to Chen Jiaju again, "Tina is here to help the two of us with the wedding." ”
Lei Rongbiao said: "Isn't it a surprise to this black aunt? ”
Chen Jiaju said: "A little bit. ”
Lei Rongbiao said: "In the future, there will be no whites, blacks, or yellows in this world, only the people you like, that is, the people of the earth." ”
Chen Jiaju said: "Second uncle, after decades of confusion, he hasn't even solved his identity, and he has to rely on marriage to legally stay in the United States, why do you have to say it so sanctimoniously?" ”
Lei Rongbiao pretended to be angry and said: "You stinky boy, you are so upright, even if your third uncle covers you, you will be a loose boy (low-level police officer) for the rest of your life." ”
……
Following Lei Rongbiao back to his residence, Chen Jiaju couldn't help but sigh: "Wow, second uncle, you are so big here!" ”
Lei Rongbiao said with an indifferent expression: "More than 3,000 feet, if this is in Hong Kong, don't do anything." It's a pity that this is the United States. ”
Chen Jiaju saw that there was still a wooden stake in the living room of the house.
Many people think that the wooden pile was invented by the ancestors of Wing Chun.
Indeed, the wooden stake is a major feature of Wing Chun, which integrates the small thoughts, bridge finding, and finger exercises in Wing Chun, and combines the principle of the middle line to train the body, legs, and footwork.
It should be said that combined with close combat, Wing Chun attaches great importance to the systematic training of wooden piles, and the functions of wooden piles have been made greater use.
Therefore, the common wooden pile training is mostly Wing Chun.
However, were wooden stakes invented by Wing Chun people? No.
The invention of the wooden pile was actually the famous anti-Japanese general of the Ming Dynasty and the national hero Qi Jiguang, who summed up the battlefield experience and invented the wooden pile in order to train the soldiers' hand-to-hand combat ability.
In fact, in addition to Wing Chun, there were also a few branches in Bajiquan and Taijiquan that practiced wooden stakes; It's just that relatively speaking, the Wing Chun people have maximized the use of wooden pile training.
In the author's opinion, the wooden pile simulates the real person to the greatest extent, and the pile mouth with a small amount of elasticity is added to help the close combat; In fact, many traditional boxing schools can beat wooden stakes, and some of the Qi family boxing descendants still retain the traditional training methods of wooden stakes.
Chen Jiaju asked, "Second uncle, are you still practicing this?" ”
Lei Rongbiao said: "If I pass, I can still hit twice." Now, it's the only one who can practice me. ”
Chen Jiaju said: "Hit twice? Second uncle, you are too modest. You were the famous 'Nancang Sea' back then! ”
Chen Jiaju walked in front of the wooden stake and performed a set of Hong boxing.
At this moment, a little boy's voice rang out, "COOL! ”
Lei Rongbiao walked over and said, "Hi! Danny! This is my nephew's foal. This is Danny who lives upstairs. ”
"Hi, Brother Jiaju!" Danny said, paddling his wheelchair into Lei Rongbiao's house with both hands.
Chen Jiaju said in a friendly voice: "Hello, Danny! ”
Lei Rongbiao asked, "Danny, don't you have to go to school today?" ”
Danny said, "I'll go." ”
Danny rowed out into the street in a wheelchair and boarded the school bus with the help of Chen Jiaju and assistive machinery.
Lei Rongbiao looked at the school bus in the distance and said: "This Danny is very pitiful, his parents are dead, he has only one sister, and he doesn't care much about him." ”
……
On this day, Chen Jiaju was helping out in Lei Rongbiao's supermarket.
At this time, a person shouted "Uncle Biao" at the door of the supermarket.
Chen Jiaju hurriedly looked up.
Lei Rongbiao said: "Call me, do you still think it's your third uncle?" ”
Chen Jiaju said: "The third uncle doesn't want to give people a bad impression of nepotism, and in the police station, I was asked to call him 'Uncle Biao'. ”
"At the Hong Kong West Kowloon Police Headquarters, he Lui Huabiao is 'Uncle Biao', but here, I am 'Uncle Biao'. ”
Chen Jiaju said: "No, I know a few people behind that person." ”
"Really? Do you still have friends in the United States? Lei Rongbiao said as he walked towards the comer.
The person came and said, "Uncle Biao, hello, I brought a guest here." This is Miss Fang Yanping, she is very interested in your supermarket. ”
After getting to know each other, Lei Rongbiao said: "Feel free to visit!" If you're interested, take a closer look. There are seven or eight streets nearby, and there is only one supermarket, me, and there are many regular customers, so it is enough to do business in the neighborhood. Business is better during the summer holidays. ”
Chen Jiaju walked up to Liangkun and asked in a low voice, "What the hell are you doing?" ”
Liangkun whispered in Chen Jiaju's ear: "The person who is interested in this supermarket is Miss Fang Yanping, and it's not me, I'm just the one who came to watch the fun." ”
Chen Jiaju said: "If you want to use this method to bribe Uncle Biao, then you are thinking wrong. ”
Liangkun said: "You don't always go online and feel too good about yourself." It's like being a cop is your way of life, being a Troubled Boy is my way of life. After leaving Hong Kong, I was just an ordinary legal businessman. ”
Chen Jiaju said: "It's better to be like this. ”
Liangkun said: "You're so boring like this. ”
Seeing that Chen Jiaju and Liangkun had been biting their ears on the side, Lei Rongbiao said: "Jiaju, you talk to your friend, and I will talk to Miss Fang about business." ”
Lei Rongbiao took Fang Yanping into the supermarket office.
Fang Yanping found that the window of the office facing the supermarket looked like a mirror from the outside.
Fang Yanping asked, "Uncle Biao, can you see the outside from the inside of the office?" ”
Lei Rongbiao said: "As a boss, you must see the six roads and listen to the eight directions!" ”
Fang Yanping asked: "This supermarket, you do it well, why do you want to sell it?" ”
Lei Rongbiao said: "I don't want to sell either, but my future wife said that she wants to buy a farm to raise horses after getting married." ”
At this time, Chen Jiaju walked to the two-way mirror with two bags of rice, used the rice as a dumbbell, and exercised his muscles in front of the "mirror".
Lei Rongbiao had his back to the double-sided mirror, he didn't know that Chen Jiaju was looking foreign, and when he saw Fang Yanping's confused face, he was still explaining seriously: "Horse, horse race, do you understand?" ”
Fang Yanping was finally defeated by Chen Jiaju's funny, and burst out laughing.
Lei Rongbiao saw that Fang Yanping didn't know what kind of animal a horse was, but that there was something wrong with her back, and when she looked back, she almost blew up her lungs.
Outside the office, looking at Chen Jiaju's stupid appearance, Liangkun sneered.
Chen Jiaju turned his head and asked Liang Kun angrily, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Liangkun said: "Looking at it from your side, it is a mirror; When viewed from behind the mirror, it's transparent. Your stupidity is seen by the people inside, what do you say I laugh at? ”
Chen Jiaju said unconvinced: "How do you know? ”
Liang Kun said: "Only one side of the one-way mirror has a mirror, and the other side can't see anything; The two-way mirror is transparent because one side can see the other. When you look in the mirror, he looks at you from behind the mirror. How can you tell the difference? Put the nails on the mirror, if the nails inside and outside the mirror are completely together, it is a double-sided mirror; If there is a distance of about 2 mm in the middle, it is a one-way mirror. ”
After listening to Liangkun's words, Chen Jiaju really put his nails on the mirror.
Sure enough, the nails inside and outside the mirror were completely pressed together.
Chen Jiaju was still unconvinced, and asked, "You haven't tried it, how do you know that this is a double-way mirror?" ”
Liangkun smiled and said nothing.
At this time, Lei Rongbiao walked to the door of the office and asked angrily: "Jiaju, what are you doing here to play rice if you have nothing to do?" ”
Chen Jiaju had no choice but to pull Liangkun and escape, and asked unwillingly: "What do you say!" ”
Liangkun said: "There are various ways to identify double-sided mirrors. The first is the 'finger judgment' I just mentioned, and the second is to knock on the mirror and listen to the sound. It can be judged by tapping on the mirror to listen to the sound. When you notice that the sound is hollow and slightly reverberates, then the mirror may be a two-way mirror. This is because the thickness and material of double-sided mirrors and single-sided mirrors are the same. However, the back of the double-sided mirror is generally empty, while the single-sided mirror is mostly mounted on the wall, and there is a wall against the back. Theoretically, the percussion method can be distinguished, just like when we hand over the new house, we use the percussion method to check the hollow drum on the wall. ”
Chen Jiaju said: "You haven't knocked either!" ”
Liangkun continued: "The third method can be used directly, which is the 'brightness and shade judgment method'. This method is more convenient for women to use, put their small makeup mirror on the mirror to compare the brightness of the image, and shine on their face, if the imaging brightness of the large mirror is significantly lower than that of the small makeup mirror, you should be careful. The principle is that the double-sided mirror uses a reflective layer of about 50%~70%, so compared with ordinary mirrors, double-sided mirrors are darker. In fact, even if you don't bring a makeup mirror with you for comparison, you can see that the brightness of the double-sided mirror is very different from the general situation. ”
