Zhang Xiucai was a native of Jinan Prefecture. After the imperial examination failed, his family donated money to an official. The mansion was just completed and I went in for an interview. The butler asked me what I could do. I grew a mindful, so I said, I would break a boulder in my chest. The other party asked if you would pull the weeping willow upside down? My face was reddened, and I beat the tiger with my bare hands, but I did it a few times.
I was given a stone lock of two hundred jin, and I lifted more than a hundred in one breath. The butler looked at it and said, okay, the strength is not small, it's you. The monthly salary is 500 yuan, including board and lodging.
I said, I just came here for the three words "bag, board, and lodging."
OK, I will start work tomorrow.
Butler, can you not today
What's the matter, I want to work this way, I have a good attitude.
Oh no, I have no place to live at night. Supper hasn't settled yet.
This is how the first job was settled. This year, the price of rice in the capital was 200 yuan.
This job is said to be a nursing home, but in fact it is a concierge. The main job is to run errands, do errands, receive guests, and take care of the security work at night. This job is extremely boring, far from what I imagined when I first came down the mountain.
After the first month's salary was paid, I invited a few of my colleagues to have a meal in Zuixianlou, which cost 200 wen. Talking about this kind of life with the same door, there is a senior brother Sun Debiao who plays darts in the Longmen Escort. So I asked if I could be introduced into the Longmen Escort.
Brother Sun was a little flickering in his words and did not directly agree, but he told me that the Central Plains Escort was recruiting workers, and I was so good at martial arts, so I could try it. I heard it in my heart.
After inquiring about it, it was easy to find out the place of the Central Plains Escort, a dilapidated yard with grass growing on the wall. The Central Plains Escort was one of the four major Escorts twenty years ago. Later, the Escort was robbed by the court for escorting tributes. The leader of the Escort was convicted by the court and exhausted his wealth. It ended in the distribution of Liaodong. After that, the Central Plains Escorts fell. The current four escorts are Longmen Escort, Mighty Escort, Zhenyuan Escort and Nanhai Escort.
The Central Plains Escort is a seven-entry yard. Although it is a bit shabby, it is actually not small. We applied for a job at the side gate to the west. We collected the application form at the registration office and returned it to a dark-skinned guy. He was two years old. At the age of fourteen or five, judging by his solid underwriting, he is a practicing family, and his martial arts should not be low. The black guy asked me to come here for an interview in three days.
Three days later, I arrived on time and saw that there were more than a dozen lads who had come for the interview. The black guy took us directly to the martial arts training ground, which covers an area of about two acres. There are 18 weapons and some equipment in the field. It is similar to the training ground of the Taishan school, except that the things are not as complete as the Taishan school.
The first aspect is the comparison of martial arts, mainly compared to archery, boxing, and swords. The examiner is a forty-year-old dart head with a goatee, whose surname is Song. My number is relatively late, and I stand on the edge of the field with a few others, waiting in line.
Everyone was young, and a few people chatted privately. A young man named Liu Qingfeng looked very active, and soon became acquainted with a few people. According to him, he is the apprentice of the Taoist Master of the Wudang School, Qiankunzi, who is the candidate of the Wudang Master Teacher. When he hears this, everyone sees his eyes differently.
Liu Qingfeng showed a complacent look, and saw a young man in white standing at the door silent, rather arrogant, so he went up to talk:
In the next Wudang school Liu Qingfeng, under the tutelage of Qiankunzi. Dude, where are you from
When Liu Qingfeng said this, his face was triumphant. The disciple in white whispered, Persian Ming taught.
Dig, from Persia, everyone listened, with envy in their eyes. Persian Mingjiao is a major sect in the world. Most of the disciples from Mingjiao have a bright future, and no one would have thought that they would come here to apply for a dart master.
Liu Qingfeng was in a daze, and when he saw me hiding in a corner, he walked over. I am from Wudang, where are you from. I am embarrassed to say, Tarzan faction.
