Chapter 14: Entering the Martial Arts Hall
When he returned home, Liang Qu poured out all the nine taels and three silver coins he had saved so far, plus the one hundred and twenty-seven copper coins on his body, which was all his belongings now.
Broken silver rolled on the hard bed, crashing and making a bone-like sound, and the more I listened to it, the more I listened.
After coming to this world for twenty-six days and nearly a month, he finally saved enough money to learn martial arts, and he could see the most mysterious corner of the world.
It's not easy, it's not easy.
Liang Qu kept tumbling the broken silver, looking at the alluring white luster, and for a moment there was a little resonance with the meaning of Grande.
But spending money now is to make better money and live a better life in the future.
Liang Qu took a deep breath, took out seven taels of silver, put it in the small money bag that Wu Shi Hu gave him, and carefully carried it in his arms.
Yixing City is a big city, not only a gangster, among the thousands of people, there are always so many bad pus-shedding scumbags.
But now he is no longer the orphan who can't live, and it will always make people scruple.
The remaining two taels and three coins and one hundred and twenty-seven copper coins were buried in the soil under the rice jar to pay the taxes after the autumn.
Dashun has realized the apportionment into the mu, there is no poll tax, to a certain extent, the tax is not so complicated, but there are some messy local taxes, which add up to a lot, and they have to be prepared, otherwise they will not be able to pay and be arrested to do forced labor, which is undoubtedly more than worth the loss.
After paying taxes and entering the martial arts hall, I will have a lot more money on hand, and I must buy a mattress first, this hard bed is really uncomfortable to sleep on.
Liang Qu was so excited that he didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night.
Early the next morning, Liang Qu, who had dark circles under his eyes, saw Li Libo, who also had dark circles.
The two looked at each other, and they both laughed.
"How many days did you sleep last night?"
"What about you?"
"Ugly."
Liang Qu sneered: "No wonder your dark circles are heavier than mine." ”
Li Libo snorted coldly, looked around left and right, and whispered, "Have you brought all the money?" ”
"Hmm."
Liang Qu nodded, he came out early this morning, and he just wanted to go to the martial arts hall as soon as possible to pay the money, so as not to have too many dreams at night and make some people have thoughts that they shouldn't have.
After paying the money, the people had the courage to ask for it, and they didn't dare to ask the martial artists for it.
As for Li Libo, today is actually not the apprenticeship day he planned, but seeing that Liang Qu was so anxious, he had to advance so that he could have a companion together, and Li's father also agreed.
Following the road, the two went to the entrance of Yixing City together, spent ten cents, and hitchhiked to Pingyang Town next door.
On the road that is not smooth, the trees are forested, that is, it is a sunny day, if it is cloudy or at night, Liangqu estimates that few people dare to walk such a night road, and at the same time, there is some expectation for the upcoming Pingyang Town.
Liang Qu in his memory is also the same as Chen Qingjiang, in order to sell the fish at a high price, he followed Liang's father to walk more than ten miles, carrying a fish basket to Pingyang Town to sell fish.
That was a completely different situation in Yixing City.
"Freshly fried chestnuts, freshly fried chestnuts, freshly baked fried chestnuts, fragrant and soft, sweet and delicious."
"Sheep blood soup, sheep blood soup, fresh sheep blood soup."
"Osmanthus buns, hot osmanthus buns."
The shouting filled the long street, which was also bluestone slabs, but it was much more spacious than the middle one in Yixing City, and even the paths on both sides were paved instead of yellow mud roads.
On both sides of the long street, there are rows of shops, and the eaves of the shops are connected, and the foot shops here and there are various cloth canopies set up outside the shops in order to compete for business.
"Guest, let's have two, it's fragrant."
"Take two."
Liang Qu threw away the copper coin, took two osmanthus bags, and threw one to Li Libo.
"Hiss, hot, hot." Li Libo poured his hands upside down, and after cooling down slightly, he took a bite and felt only a mouthful of fragrance.
Liang Qu has tasted osmanthus cake, but has not eaten osmanthus buns, but a bite can be bite, it is not as delicious as imagined, and the gap between the products under the modern industry is too big.
The prosperity of Pingyang Town is beyond imagination, there are many pedestrians, it is simply a comparison with Bianjing in the Qingming Shanghe map, it seems that the productivity of this world is more developed than imagined, I don't know what the capital of Dashun looks like?
Liang Qu thought about it, and unconsciously led by Li Libo to the Yang Martial Arts Hall that he was thinking about.
There are no carved beams and paintings, but the place is very large, on the edge of Pingyang Town, backed by a cedar forest, there is a stone wall backyard, you can often see people coming in and out, maybe it is a ten-tael level of accommodation.
There was a long table at the door of the martial arts hall, and a young man was sitting, and when he saw someone visiting, he got up to stop it, hugged his fists and said: "In the lower direction of Changsong, the two faces are born, I don't know what to do?" Martial arts or visiting friends? ”
Li Libo, who was older, stood up and saluted with his fists: "Hello, let's practice martial arts." ”
"Do you know how much it takes to practice martial arts?"
"Know some, seven taels is enough, is that so?"
"That's right, seven taels of silver do not include room and board, ten taels of accommodation and food, twenty taels of room and board and medicinal soup, fifty taels of room and board and medicinal soup and medicinal bath, and the semester is only three months at the same time, of course, the teaching is the same, how much you can learn depends on yourself."
"After March, if you still can't break through the skin barrier of skin, flesh, bone, and blood, and if you want to stay, you must pay the tuition again."
Liang Qu was speechless when he heard it, fifty taels only had a high-grade medicinal bath, and he couldn't catch ten horn pomfrets, and ordinary people couldn't afford to save it for a lifetime.
As for the semester, it's not surprising, if you don't have talent, you can't stay on it all the time.
Speaking of which, the Yang Martial Arts Hall is fully equipped, there are professional guides at the door, and the attitude is kind, and there is no abnormality at all because of the fishy smell on the two of them.
It's not the same as in the novel, what about pretending to be a slap in the face?
Li Libo nodded again and again: "I know, we only report seven taels." ”
Xiang Changsong's face did not show the slightest disdain, and he pointed to the long table where he was originally sitting: "In this case, please come here to register and make a register, state your name, age and place of origin, and pay the fee." ”
The two came to him, reported the information, and read it to the two of them after writing it to Changsong.
The writing in this world is also hieroglyphics, and it is unexpectedly almost the same as in the previous life, Liang Qu was also very surprised when he first came, but he got used to it over time, and he did not reveal his ability to read, so he only pretended to be the same as Li Libo, nodding in affirmation.
After confirming that everything was correct, Xiang Changsong led them into the martial arts hall, walked through the corridor, came to the payment office, and handed over the paper with the information of the two just written.
After weighing the silver coins, he received two wooden plaques from Changsong and handed them to Liang Qu and Li Libo respectively.
The whole apprenticeship process is very familiar, and I think I have already received quite a lot of apprentices in the martial arts hall.
Liang Qu took the wooden card and looked at it, and found that it was very simple, that is, he engraved his name, as well as the date of joining, and when it was past March, the wooden card would be invalid.
There are not too many people in the Yang Martial Arts Gym, whether the apprentices mainly rely on face memory, and there is no need for any anti-counterfeiting.
"Congratulations to the two of you, from today onwards, you are the disciples of the Yang Martial Arts Pavilion, you can call me Senior Brother Xiang."
"Brother Xiang*2"
Xiang Changsong said with a smile: "I'll take you around, familiarize yourself with the environment, and then briefly introduce some martial arts knowledge, so as to teach you to understand the path of martial arts." ”
"Thank you, Senior Brother Xiang."
Liang Qu was in good spirits, the link he was most looking forward to was finally coming, and he was here for a month, didn't he look forward to this dry goods?
