Chen Kang went north, but he didn't think about it, but he came to Foshan in the south.

The timing is also wrong.

Huang Feihong is still opening Bao Zhilin in Foshan at the moment.

"Foshan, like Cangzhou, is the hometown of martial arts." Chen Kang said secretly, "It's just that Cangzhou is the northern boxing, and Foshan is the most famous is the southern boxing." ”

For the time being, if you can't learn inner boxing, you can learn southern boxing. Hung Boxing, Wing Chun, is the representative of Southern Boxing.

As long as he can improve his martial arts skills, Chen Kang can learn any martial arts and is not picky.

Chen Kang walked on the streets of Foshan, staring at the restaurant, smelling the fragrance of vegetables and swallowing his saliva.

Grunt.

The stomach is protesting.

Hunger pangs came in waves.

After practicing martial arts, the physical fitness improves, the digestive ability becomes stronger, the more you eat, and the easier it is to get hungry.

Chen Kang hadn't eaten all day. When he left, he walked simply, and there was no ocean to ask for Nongjinsun.

There may be a little regret in my heart.

If you had money, you wouldn't have to go hungry now.

Chen Kang immediately expelled the little remorse in his heart.

Regret?

Explain that you did it wrong.

Chen Kang didn't feel that he was wrong.

Right now.

A few rotten cubs from the Shahe Gang collected the protection fee for the restaurant and left happily.

Chen Kang's eyes lit up, and he thought of a way to eat.

Chen Kang strode into the restaurant.

When the shopkeeper saw Chen Kang, he barely squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "What does the guest want to eat?" ”

Just been extorted money by the Shahe Gang, and the shopkeeper can be in a good mood, that's a strange thing.

Chen Kang said: "Boiled beef, stir-fried kidney flower ......"

The shopkeeper's expression froze. What Chen Kang said is Sichuan cuisine. I am from Foshan, and there are only Cantonese cuisine and roast meat in the store, but there is no chef who can cook Sichuan cuisine.

Chen Kang smiled and said, "Forget it." Pick up a few of your signature dishes. ”

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Wait a minute, guest officer." Second son, go tell the kitchen and prepare four signature dishes. ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "I'll go now." ”

The shopkeeper said: "Guest officer, you are not a native of Foshan, right?" ”

Chen Kang said: "It is my first time to come to Foshan. The shopkeeper doesn't have to entertain me deliberately, you can be busy first. ”

Chen Kang sat by the window on the second floor, and could see the scenery of the wharf.

The wharf is docked with merchant ships from Western countries, and the Western flags on the ships are very dazzling.

There are a lot of people on the dock, almost all of them are poor men.

Cities along the coast have always been prosperous in commerce and trade, and many people come to the docks to make a living.

Chen Kang's martial arts are good, he has a lot of strength, and he can go to the dock to work hard, of course. At least you can mix it with a bowl of rice.

But.

Chen Kang will not go to work again.

Chen Kang's strength is not used for hard work, let alone for the capitalists.

Chen Kang has martial arts, of course, he has to rely on martial arts to eat.

Meals were served quickly.

The shopkeeper said: "Guest officer, you use it slowly." By the way, we have good sorghum wine in our store, do you want to have a jar? ”

Chen Kang shook his head and said, "I don't drink. ”

Eat and drink to your heart's content.

Chen Kang said: "Shopkeeper, let me ask you about something. ”

The shopkeeper said, "I don't know what the guest officer wants to inquire?" I am familiar with the boundary of Foshan. ”

Chen Kang asked: "Before I entered the store, someone came to the store to collect protection money, right?" ”

Speaking of the people of the Shahe Gang, the shopkeeper was angry and nodded, "Yes." Those guys, who came from the other side of the Sand River last month, are all rotten cubs and ruthless. Don't provoke. Once they are provoked, the old man may not be able to open the store. ”

Chen Kang said: "The shopkeeper didn't think of going to the yamen to report the case? ”

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "Those rotten cubs can't be caught." It is impossible for the officials to protect my shop for twelve hours. Those officials are not good people, and sometimes they are more ruthless than the rotten cubs of the Shahe Gang. ”

The officials eat and take cards, but they are more ruthless than the people of the Shahe Gang.

Moreover, the officials asked for silver, which was still legal, and it was useless to report to the officials.

Chen Kang asked again: "How much protection money did the Shahe Gang collect from the store?" ”

The shopkeeper said, "Twenty taels of silver." Next time, they will definitely come back. ”

Chen Kang waited for the shopkeeper's words.

Chen Kang said: "Shopkeeper, you give me five taels of silver every month, and I will help you block the Shahe Gang." Never let the Shahe Gang trouble the restaurant again. How is it? ”

The shopkeeper looked at Chen Kang in surprise.

Chen Kang has an extraordinary bearing, like a learned person.

The shopkeeper didn't expect that Chen Kang would also come to collect money.

The shopkeeper said angrily: "You are also here to collect protection money? ”

Chen Kang nodded and said, "Yes." However, I'm not the same as the Sand River Gang. I will take your money, and I will ensure that your restaurant can operate normally. Don't talk about the Shahe Gang, even if the officials come to eat and take cards, I can help you cook. ”

The shopkeeper sneered: "It's up to you? ”

Chen Kang nodded and said, "It's up to me." ”

Although Chen Kang has not completely controlled the muscle groups of his body, he believes that his martial arts can squeeze into the top five in Foshan.

Chen Kang felt that relying on his own martial arts could help the shopkeeper solve most of the troubles.

"Someone."

The shopkeeper shouted.

A few shopkeepers and three cooks rushed out and surrounded Chen Kang.

The shopkeeper said in a cold voice: "You have eaten, pay now, and then hurry up." Eating overlord meals and collecting protection money is not something that a scholar like you should do. ”

Chen Kang was not angry.

After all, he was indeed eating a bully meal.

Chen Kang said: "Since this is the case, then Chen will show his kung fu and let the shopkeeper take a look, saying that my ability is worth five taels of silver." ”

Although a few shopkeepers and three cooks were strong, they didn't know martial arts.

Chen Kang has experienced life and death struggles, has rich experience in actual combat, and has a much stronger will and mentality than ordinary people.

One punch, in less than ten breaths, the people around the shopkeeper all fell to the ground.

Chen Kang only knocked them down, but did not use penetrating power.

The shopkeeper was taken aback by Chen Kang's martial arts.

Unexpectedly, Chen Kang's figure seems to be thin, but he is a powerful practitioner.

It's really hidden, and people can't look like it.

The shopkeeper smiled dryly: "Hero, the old man is going to get the silver." ”

The shopkeeper now just wants to send Chen Kang, the plague god, away as soon as possible.

Chen Kang said: "By the way, bring paper and pen. I will take your money and write you a deed. I'm a person who collects money, and I'll definitely do things. ”

Collecting money to do things is called cooperation.

Collecting money and not doing things is blackmail.

After writing the contract, Chen Kang pressed his handprint, and it was still very formal.

Put five taels of silver in your pocket.

Chen Kang said: "Shopkeeper, I'm going to rent a house now." Rent the house and I'll tell you the address. In the future, your restaurant will be protected by Chen. Whoever comes to blackmail you again, come to me. ”

The shopkeeper sent Chen Kang out of the store.

Looking at Chen Kang's back, the shopkeeper spat out: "Phew." What's that? Your words are high-sounding, and you are not here to knock Lao Tzu's silver. Damn bastard, there's one more vampire to collect money in the future. If this continues, I won't be able to open this restaurant. ”

……

Chen Kang spent two taels of silver and rented a house.

Chen Kang's place of residence is not far from Bao Zhilin, less than 50 meters.

Diagonally across the street is the Yuejia Martial Arts Hall.

There are many martial arts halls in Foshan, at least more than a dozen.

"Five taels of silver is not enough to spend." Chen Kang said secretly, "The silver has to continue to be collected." No, it should be said that we need to find more restaurants to cooperate. ”

Large restaurants generally have a deep background.

The snake is not easy to mess with.

Even if Chen Kang is a dragon crossing the river, he will not fight with those local snakes for the time being.

Chen Kang wanted to avoid those big restaurants, but to find small restaurants to "cooperate". As for the small street stalls, Chen Kang does not plan to "cooperate".

The small stall has a hard time surviving, and life is hard, but they can't afford to "cooperate" with Chen Kang, let alone ask Chen Kang to protect them.

As long as there are ten small restaurants cooperating, Chen Kang's life in Foshan will be able to go on.

……

Close the door.

Practice boxing.

Chen Kang practiced martial arts for at least 6 hours a day.

If you don't practice, you will feel uncomfortable.

After practicing martial arts, I was sweating again.

Boil hot water and take a bath.

Chen Kang changed into clean clothes.

Well?

There are people outside the door.

Chen Kang heard a voice outside the house.

Open the door.

I saw a young man sitting on the stone steps by the threshold.

The young man was a little downcast. When he saw Chen Kang, his eyes were a little flustered.

Chen Kang asked, "Who are you?" Why do you sit at the door? ”

The young man said, "I'm Liang Kuan from Meixian County. I came to worship Master Huang Feihong as a teacher. It's a pity that I went to Bao Zhilin, and Master Huang was not there. ”

Chen Kang said secretly, this person is Liang Kuan?

Seeing that Chen Kang did not speak.

Liang Kuan said, "I'll go." ”

Chen Kang said, "Come in and sit." I'll pour you a bowl of boiling water. ”

Liang Kuan said gratefully: "Thank you." ”

Liang Kuan is hungry and thirsty. When he arrived in Foshan, Chen Kang was the first person to take the initiative to care about himself.

After drinking a bowl of warm boiled water, Liang Kuan felt a little stronger.

Liang Kuan said embarrassedly: "Can you give me something to eat?" ”

Chen Kang said: "I also went to Foshan today and just rented a house. There is no rice or vegetables in the house. It's time for dinner. Go out to eat, I please. ”

Liang Kuan said gratefully: "Thank you." ”

Chen Kang said: "It's not easy for anyone to go out. Helping each other is as it should be. I have also been sad. ”

……

Come to the food stalls on the street.

Chen Kang ordered a cold dish, a plate of roasted meat, a plate of green vegetables, and two bowls of noodles.

Liang Kuan looked at the food, his eyes shining.

Chen Kang said, "Eat." ”

Chen Kang eats very slowly, and chewing slowly helps digestion.

Liang Kuan is gobbling it up.

Thundered.

Thunder sounded in the air, and it was about to rain.

A middle-aged man with a bear's waist and a tiger's back is performing on the street.

There wasn't a single spectator around him.

Street performers are basically hungry for a full meal. After all, income tipping is unstable, and starvation is a common thing.

Chen Kang can see that this performer has real kung fu, not a fake trick on the street.

Bang.

The middle-aged man used his throat to break three red tassel guns.

Chen Kang's pupils shrank, and he said secretly: "What a powerful hard qigong." This person's horizontal kung fu is at least several times stronger than Fujita Tsuyoshi's ability to resist blows. ”

Chen Kang took out a tael of silver and said to Liang Kuan: "Liang Kuan, give the silver to the master who sells art." ”

Liang Kuan was surprised: "Give a reward of one or two silvers!" Is it too much to give? ”

Chen Kang shook his head and said, "Not much." His martial arts are not so cheap. If it weren't for the fact that I don't have a lot of money, I would have liked to give a little more. ”

Yan Zhendong's eyes revealed exhaustion and helplessness, he had no income today, and he was going to starve again.

Suddenly.

Liang Kuan put the silver in front of Yan Zhendong and said, "This master, your martial arts are very powerful. Mr. Chan rewards you. ”

Yan Zhendong accepted the money, looked at Chen Kang, and said gratefully: "Yan Zhendong thank Mr. Chen for the reward." ”

Chen Kang said: "Master Yan, Chen is also a person who practices martial arts. If there is a chance in the future, let's learn boxing. ”

Yan Zhendong nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Yan Zhendong is still very confident in his boxing skills.
