Chapter 4 Management Fee, Barber Hall, First Line Day

If you want to verify whether kung fu can be skilled, you must consider learning boxing.

We're all adults, so it's not so simple to think about things.

When I was a child, I watched Journey to the West to watch a lively, and when I grew up, I didn't watch Journey to the West to watch a lively, every time there is a monster that Sun Wukong can't deal with, who is this who is the mount.

The metaphor is not very appropriate, but it illustrates a problem.

Context matters!

It's the same with boxing.

The master is famous and strong, and the natural voice of being an apprentice is big.

Of course, it doesn't mean that you have to rely on Master to make a name for yourself, which is unrealistic.

There is a good saying that it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree.

Ang Lee doesn't need fame either, what he needs is a big tree!

A big tree that can cool off for a while!

"Ip Man? Zhang Tianzhi? ”

Influenced by the movie, the first thing that came to Ang Lee's mind was Ip Man or Zhang Tianzhi.

Just thinking about it for a moment, Ang Lee still denied it.

Ip Man, the grandmaster of Wing Chun, even made headlines in the newspapers, and his fame was big enough to rise day by day.

But at this time in time, Ip Man's wife is seriously ill, and there is not much hope for the words of the apprentice.

As for Zhang Tianzhi, after losing Ip Man's move, he closed the door and closed the hall, and with a knot, even Wing Chun decided not to fight anymore, and it was naturally no fun to apprentice.

Li An frowned slightly, carefully recalling the memories of the original owner, and passing over many useless memories, it really made him make some discoveries.

Yau Ma Tei, there is a barber parlor three facades away from Fuyuan Restaurant, the boss is very good at kung fu, and there are some young people learning boxing.

Hidden in the city!

Fuyuan Restaurant has to pay military uniforms, plainclothes, the Department of Health, and the community every month.

But the barber parlor, which is almost next to the restaurant, seems to have never been visited to collect money.

Even if there is a short-sighted club to make trouble, it is often thrown out.

"Rest for two days, and when the wound on your head is a little better, I'll go and see it."

With a plan, Li An's nerves that had been tense for a day also relaxed, and he just cleaned up slightly and covered his head and went to sleep.

...................................

The next day, Ang Lee was woken up by a violent knock on the door.

Opening the door and glancing at the three people outside the door, Li An shouted at the man in front of him.

"So early? Brother 10! ”

The tenth brother said with an expressionless face:

"It's the end of the month, and it's time to pay the management fee for this month."

Of course, the other party said that it was a management fee, but it was actually a protection fee.

"Okay."

Li An turned around and walked back to the bedside, grabbed the more than fifty yuan under the pillow, took a one-yuan coin, and stuffed the rest into his trouser pocket.

I was just about to hand over a dollar.

"From this month onwards, the management fee is two dollars a month."

The tenth brother said again.

The man known as Brother Ten was about thirty years old, with a big nose, a fleshy face, and a somewhat vicious look.

I used to think this face was a little cute when I watched the movie.

Right now...... Ang Lee just wanted to stomp his soles the other party's face.

“... Two pieces, give. ”

"Hmm!"

The tenth brother nodded and led the two of them towards the next family.

From time to time, the tenth brother's low voice was heard.

"Those who have just arrived and don't want to pay will deal with it."

"Since Uncle Ji asked the Ma brothers to participate in the word flower stalls, several stalls have lost a lot of money, and the brothers are about to drink the northwest wind."

“...... After collecting the money, you two have the two boys carefully investigated...... I'd like to see if these two brothers are the devil who are eating inside and out? ”

"Grass!"

Li An scolded in a low voice.

Management fee, bad guy, Guili Huang... The way of the world...

Originally, he was thinking of recuperating for two days before learning boxing, but now he doesn't want to wait a day.

The top priority is to give yourself the means to defend yourself so that you can gain a foothold.......

..............

When Ang Lee used to work in a restaurant, the guests in it talked about the martial arts hall in one sentence:

"Chengxing becomes a city, and there are more martial arts halls than rice shops!"

In the past 60 years of Hong Kong, along with the golden age of martial arts movies, countless young people have devoted themselves to the rivers and lakes.

There are more than 400 large and small martial arts halls, and tens of thousands of people practice martial arts.

Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok are the places with the most martial arts halls.

The hotels, restaurants, tea rooms, and martial arts halls on the street are overwhelming, and you can occasionally see one or two karate halls.

Walking to the middle of Nanjing Street, Ang Lee finally stopped in front of a two-story arcade.

The signboard on the door has gone through many years, and the white background on it has experienced the baptism of the rainy years, and it is a little yellow.

White Rose Barber Salon!

The signboard with its obvious old Shanghai Tang style seems to be out of place with the Hong Kong style of the whole street.

Mr. Li felt that this sign of the barber shop was somewhat familiar.

Push the door in.

Perhaps in the morning, there were no customers in the store, the two rows of reclining chairs in front of the mirror were empty, the record player on the corner cabinet was on, and Cantonese opera with a distinctly sea salt accent emanated from the brass horn in the shape of a trumpet flower.

Ang Lee was just in time for the beginning when he entered the door.

"Friendship is thickened, early love and love style, love is full of breasts, and the dream of hand-held flowers and pottery is strong......"

"Do you understand the play?"

The voice is calm, as if the person who spoke has experienced vicissitudes.

"I don't listen to much drama, but I don't understand it very well."

Ang Lee, who was originally facing the record player, turned to look at the person questioning.

He looks like he is in his fifties, his cheeks are thin, his temples are a little pale, his receding hairline is combed sideways, he is wearing a white coat, and six small red letters of White Rose Barber Hall are printed on his left chest.

...... Well, the appearance is a bit like Zhang Zhen...... If the hairline is a little lower and younger, it's more like.

Li An looked at the person in front of him, as if he had thought of something.

... Looks like Zhang Zhen? A white rose barber parlor with an old Shanghai Tang style? Kung Fu is good?

A hybrid of the prototype Li Shuwen and his disciple Liu Yunqiao?

The Bajiquan Grandmaster in the generation of grandmasters is a line of heaven!

Li Ang originally just planned to come over and have a look, but he didn't expect to meet the true god.

A glimmer of heaven looked at Li An, and a pair of eyes that seemed to be covered with dust suddenly brightened.

"You know me?"

Ang Lee was taken aback.

"I don't know, but I've heard of you."

The first line of heaven was noncommittal, still looking at Ang Lee.

“... Is it? ”

Careless...... Thinking of the identity of the first line of heaven in the generation of grandmaster dramas, Li An chuckled in his heart and explained:

"I used to work as a handyman at Fuyuan Restaurant for six or seven years, so I've heard of you. When we met for the first time today, I just found that you looked similar to an uncle from the same village named Zhang Zhen in the mainland when I was a child. ”

"Before?"

"Yesterday, I was injured by Gui Lihuang's men, and I was fired by my boss."

"Oh, you're the guy at the restaurant who was taken to the hospital yesterday?"

"Hmm."

Seeing Li An nodding, a glimmer of heaven glanced at the gauze on his head, pulled open the chair in front of the mirror and sat down.

"If you're going to cut your hair, wait until the wound on your head heals."

Li An took a step forward and said seriously:

"Master, I'm not here to cut my hair, I'm here to learn boxing from you."

"Learn boxing?" Yi Yitian's tone was a lot sharper, "After learning, find Gui Lihuang for revenge?" ”

Li An pursed his lips, "Stop fighting for martial arts, I just learn boxing for self-defense." ”

"Stop fighting?"

A glimmer of heaven smiled, and didn't seem to agree.

"Six feet is a step, half a step is a martial art? Or is it ruthless? Hehe! ”

Ang Lee didn't say anything this time.

Putting aside the big issues of right and wrong.

For a rule-abiding person like Ip Man, it is right to stop fighting.

But for people like Zhang Tianzhi and Yitian, stopping fighting for martial arts is a bit too vague, and being fierce and ruthless is the norm for people who practice martial arts!

A glimmer of heaven carefully looked at Li An's eyes.

"It's okay to learn boxing, but I have a rule for teaching boxing."

"What rules?"
