Chapter 5 I Am Ye Wen, I Can Beat Ten People

Chapter 5 I am Ip Man, I can beat ten people

Although we know from the plot that Ip Man is now poor and destitute, his wife is pregnant and can't work, he has no students to teach Wing Chun, and he can't even pay the rent, but Hao Shuai always thought that it was just because of the plot. Ip Man is a rich second-generation, and he can save a little.

Now looking at Ip Man's face and expression, Hao Shuai knows that Ip Man must be really in poverty.

However, Ip Man's poverty is a good thing for Hao Shuai, after all, what Hao Shuai lacks the least is money.

If he can learn Ip Man's unique skills with money, Hao Shuai would like to throw the money in front of Ip Man on the spot.

"Master, your Wing Chun is so powerful, and you only charge five dollars a month for tuition?" After asking that the tuition fee is only five dollars, Hao Shuai felt sorry for Ip Man's worth, and took the initiative to help Ip Man raise the price: "It's too cheap! How about you charge more?"

"No, five dollars is enough. If it's too expensive, no one will spend money to learn martial arts," Ip Man refused.

Hao Shuai thought about it and it made sense. Although five yuan a month was nothing to him, the economy was in recession and the monthly salary of a senior clerk was only 300 yuan. Five yuan was enough for a family's food expenses for a day.

If the fee was too high, no one would come to learn boxing, and Ip Man would not accept only himself as an apprentice.

Hao Shuai directly handed two hundred yuan to Ip Man from his trouser pocket.

"What is this?" Looking at the money in his hand, Ip Man was a little stunned and didn't understand what Hao Shuai meant.

"Master, this is the tuition I paid for three years." Hao Shuai explained.

When Ip Man heard that Hao Shuai wanted to pay three years' tuition at once, he quickly refused and said, "You don't have to pay so much at once, you can pay monthly."

"Master, I pay three years at once to show that I will not give up halfway and to show my determination to learn boxing." Hao Shuai said this, bent one knee, and bowed his hands, saying, "At the same time, I beg Master to pass on the essence of Wing Chun to my disciples."

Hao Shuai's "determination" (money ability) deeply touched Ip Man, and he quickly stepped forward to help Hao Shuai up, and said happily, "Okay, if you want to learn, I will definitely teach you with all my heart. Let's start learning boxing now."

Seeing Ip Man accept the money, Hao Shuai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master, I will go and take care of my personal affairs first, and come to learn boxing tomorrow morning."

"That's fine, come up directly tomorrow!" Ip Man saw that Hao Shuai had something to do, so he didn't force him. It was not too late, so he could go back and tell his wife about his apprenticeship to make money, so that she would be happy too.

"Thank you, Master."

After saying goodbye to Ip Man and getting off the rooftop, Hao Shuai called a rickshaw and went to the nearby police station to apply for household registration in Hong Kong. At that time, Hong Kong had very loose household registration management. No matter where you came from, as long as you went to the local police station to register, you could immediately get a local household registration. This policy lasted until the 1970s before it was cancelled.

The reason why Hao Shuai applied for household registration was to buy a property in Hong Kong. After all, he would stay for several months and it was impossible for him to stay in a hotel all the time. Moreover, Hao Shuai was not very confident about the current hotel level in Kowloon City, and felt that it was more convenient to buy a house directly.

After leaving the police station, Hao Shuai sold a batch of jewelry in several places. After he had money, Hao Shuai immediately bought a 90-square-meter house with furniture that could be moved in directly on Yonglong Street through an agent.

After giving the agent a benefit of 20 yuan, the agent enthusiastically helped Hao Shuai hire a cleaner and bought daily necessities and bedding for Hao Shuai.

Hao Shuai didn't plan to buy kitchen supplies. He planned to eat and drink with his master. It seemed that his master's wife Zhang Yongcheng's cooking skills were good.

In addition, Hao Shuai also bought several sets of clothes of this era in the ready-made clothing store for daily wear and martial arts practice.

After finishing all these, Hao Shuai ate a big bowl of noodles downstairs, went home to practice telekinesis, and went to bed.

...

Although Hao Shuai was usually lazy, as long as he decided to do something, he would do his best to do it the best.

So early in the morning, when it was just dawn, Hao Shuai didn't stay in bed as usual, but got up from the bed, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and took care of the big toilet.

After packing up, Hao Shuai left the house and had breakfast at the breakfast stall downstairs, and packed a portion for Ip Man.

When he got to the rooftop, Hao Shuai saw Ip Man was already hitting the wooden man pile.

"Xiao Shuai, you're here!" Seeing Hao Shuai, Ip Man smiled.

He couldn't help but smile. Last night, he happened to meet the landlord coming to collect rent. At that time, his wife Zhang Yongcheng didn't have enough money to pay the rent. Fortunately, Hao Shuai's two hundred yuan solved the urgent problem, otherwise he didn't know how to face that situation.

It can be said that Hao Shuai saved Ip Man's dignity, so facing Hao Shuai, Ip Man was naturally grateful and happy.

Hao Shuai sympathized with this man. It was really a misfortune of the times that the poor situation forced a martial arts master to this point.

"Master, good morning." Hao Shuai smiled: "I packed breakfast for you."

"I have eaten it, thank you, Xiao Shuai!" Ip Man said sincerely.

Hao Shuai thought Ip Man was thanking him for his breakfast, only Ip Man knew that he was thanking Hao Shuai for his tuition.

...

"Xiao Shuai, before you formally learn Wing Chun, let me introduce to you what Wing Chun is," said Ip Man.

Wing Chun is a very scientific and artificial boxing, and its strength lies in fighting in the body.

It has fast punches and tight defense, flexible horse stance and fast rise and fall, both offense and defense and defense and attack at the same time, focusing on the combination of hardness and softness, and consuming little energy. Wing Chun uses a force method called "inch power" to attack and defend.

In terms of theory and mental skills, it focuses on the center line, buried heels, chasing the shape facing the face, taking both left and right into consideration, coming and leaving, sending, throwing hands and rushing straight, etc., to attack and defend with the shortest distance and time.

The main hand shapes of this boxing are Phoenix Eye Fist and Willow Leaf Palm. The boxing routines mainly include Small Thought, Looking for Bridge and Biaozhi three sets of boxing and wooden man pile.

The basic techniques are mainly three side hands, and there are also Crush Hand, Lifting Hand, Breaking Row Hand, Sinking Bridge, Sticking Fight. The main footwork types are Four-level Horse, Three-character Horse, Chasing Horse, Kneeling Horse, Independent Step, etc.

It is a boxing technique that combines internal boxing and close fighting. It is based on actual combat, with varied moves, flexible use, elastic punching, short bridge and narrow horse, and good at inch power. It is characterized by big sideways, small pitch, plowing and blocking, spreading arms, touching and swinging, remembering the situation, and bending hands to keep the center. It is marked by the body shape and footwork of hooking, intercepting, sinking, marking, arms, wrist fingers, sticking, touching, ironing, stealing, leaking and "two-character clamp Yang horse". It is an internal boxing method that uses the sensitive feeling of the skin of the hand bridge to exert the power of inch power.

"Our Wing Chun! It is a combination of attack and defense. One attack and one fight, knocking down the opponent in the shortest time."

"Look, this is the fight."

"Linking elimination and fighting, the sun-shaped punch."

"Do you understand?"

"..."

Ip Man is a very competent master, very patient, and can be patient with what Hao Shuai doesn't understand, and preach over and over again.

Hao Shuai himself is also very serious in learning. Because he is not a stupid person, he learns and teaches quickly. So the master was satisfied, and the apprentice was satisfied. In just half a day, the two of them had some master-disciple friendship with each other.

Unknowingly, it was noon. Hao Shuai knew that Zhang Yongcheng would bring food to Ye Wen, so he said goodbye to Ye Wen first, went down the rooftop to find a restaurant, and packed several meat dishes.

When Hao Shuai returned to the warehouse, he saw Ye Wen sitting on a chair eating, and a beautiful pregnant woman with a gentle temperament was sitting next to him. There was a plate of green vegetables and a plate of fried eggs on the table.

When Ye Wen saw Hao Shuai coming back, he introduced: "Xiao Shuai, this is your master's wife Zhang Yongcheng, Yongcheng, this is my apprentice Hao Shuai."

After the introduction, Ye Wen asked again: "And didn't you go back?"

"I went downstairs to buy food, I didn't know that my master's wife would bring you food." Hao Shuai pretended not to know and replied. "It just so happens that my master's wife is here, so let's eat together!"

After that, Hao Shuai took out the packed roast goose, braised pig's trotters and barbecued pork and put them on the table.

"How can this be embarrassing? You should eat it yourself!" Ye Wen declined.

With such a proud and thin-skinned master, if you want to treat him well, you have to take his self-esteem into consideration. Thinking of the fact that Ip Man in the play was embarrassed to collect tuition fees, and students had to postpone their tuition fees because they had no money, Hao Shuai was really tired!

"Master, I'm afraid there won't be enough food. I bought a lot. How can I finish it by myself? It would be a pity to throw it away if I can't finish it! Besides, you are my master. As the saying goes, 'once a teacher, a father for life'. Isn't it natural for me to respect you!" Hao Shuai persuaded seriously.

"Okay then! I'll let you spend money once." Seeing that Hao Shuai said so, Ip Man could only agree.

"Come on, Master's wife, let's eat together. Please help me serve a bowl of rice! Thank you!" Hao Shuai said to Zhang Yongcheng.

"Xiao Shuai, here, your rice." Fortunately, although Zhang Yongcheng is a woman, she is not as fussy as Ip Man. After serving Hao Shuai, she started eating directly.

Hao Shuai took the meal and ate it with his head down. After all, he had been training for a whole morning and was already hungry.

After the meal, Hao Shuai wanted to help Zhang Yongcheng clean up the dishes, but was rejected by Zhang Yongcheng. Then, Ip Man called him to continue explaining what Hao Shuai didn't understand just now.

When Zhang Yongcheng packed up the dishes and went down the rooftop, Hao Shuai said something to Ip Man, followed the rooftop and caught up with Zhang Yongcheng in front of him, took out 300 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Yongcheng, saying: "Master's wife, you also know that I came to Hong Kong alone, I have no relatives, I live alone, and I am too lazy to cook. I would like to trouble you to add an extra pair of chopsticks for lunch and dinner in the future. This is the food allowance for this month."

"It's my duty to cook for you, you don't have to pay, and it's too much." Zhang Yongcheng declined

"It's my duty to pay for the food, otherwise I will be embarrassed to eat in the future, and Master's wife also knows that I have a big appetite and like to eat meat, so I hope Master's wife can buy more meat."

"Okay! I'll take the money, you go back quickly!" Zhang Yongcheng took the money and said.

"Goodbye, Master's wife!"

In the following week, Hao Shuai followed his master to learn Wing Chun every day, and from time to time bought some fruits, cigarettes and alcohol to honor his master and master's wife, which made Ip Man very embarrassed and could only teach Hao Shuai with all his heart.
