Chapter 726 Begging for Alms
Damai's work and rest adjustment was very successful. Of course, this had nothing to do with Wang Yan. The main reason was Damai's persistence and perseverance. She didn't waste any time during the day, and she really devoted herself to writing. Instead of teasing the cat for a while and playing with the phone for a while. This allowed her to complete her writing during the day and have some time to think, which is rare.
Because there are always people who neglect time, only to realize that it is too late when things happen.
"Good morning, Teacher Wang." Damai greeted Wang Yan energetically as he returned from morning practice.
"Morning." Wang Yan nodded, put the breakfast he brought back on the dining table, walked over and took a look, "Are you eating noodles again?"
"No, today it's Master Kong's braised beef noodles. The past few days were all noodles, so it's different." Damai corrected seriously.
"no the same?"
"Very different!"
Wang Yan shook his head in a funny way: "Cook more and eat together."
"Okay! Why don't I transfer some food money to you? I'll eat the breakfast you bought every morning. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, don't I eat your noodles every morning? There's no need to calculate so clearly. Hey, Mr. Ma is up." As he was talking to Damai, he saw Ma Qiushan sleepily walking out of the door with a cup.
Ma Qiushan swayed and hit his head: "Teacher Wang, you are really good at drinking."
Damai curled his lips and continued: "Master Ma, Teacher Wang didn't drink much. You drank too much yourself, and you couldn't stop him. One bottle after another."
"Really? I remember Teacher Wang drank with me?"
Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "We drank together, but you kept punishing yourself because I couldn't stand it. What Damai said is true, it's just bottle after bottle."
Ma Qiushan took a glass of tap water, drank it in large quantities, then washed his face with the water, and asked: "Can the Baduanjin set you taught me cure my hangover?"
"Of course, it's a matter of regulating your energy and maintaining your health. Not to mention curing a hangover. As long as you practice those moves proficiently and form muscle memory, you may even have a certain level of martial arts ability. Face off against people who are unfamiliar with the routines. , basically two moves to defeat each other. If you can master it and learn how to use it yourself, you can beat the crap out of others even if you are familiar with the routine. Of course, the premise is that the physical fitness of the two people is at the same level. Only physical combat will do.”
"real?"
Damai was a little distrustful. There was nothing that could be done about it. After all, fighting martial arts was not new, and he was beaten with five lightning whips until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. It became a joke on the Internet for a while. This set of kung fu given by Wang Yan can not only strengthen the body, but also fight? It's hard to believe.
"Why did I lie to you? It can indeed be achieved."
Ma Qiushan rubbed his temples and asked, "How long will it take to practice to the level you mentioned?"
"It depends on talent. It can take as little as two or three years, or as long as eleven or twelve years. It doesn't necessarily matter. You don't have to think so much about kung fu. It just depends on who is in good health and who reacts quickly. The rest is a matter of technique. The body is for defense, the reaction is for dodge, and the combination of moves is for offense. If you can practice it in two or three years, among other things, his reaction must be faster than ordinary people. If you have this quick reaction ability, you can train your body. , whether it’s boxing or Sanda, everyone can practice well and develop combat effectiveness.
Okay, let’s not say so much. Now, what's the use of beating someone with a mouth worth 20,000 yuan? Just practice quickly. Just have a meal after practice. Damai, you go and follow me. Let me make instant noodles. Well, how about fried noodles? Eat it differently. "
It was still the stage of boiling water. Damai simply abdicated and said: "Okay, then you do it, Teacher Wang. I will practice martial arts and strive to become a female hero one day."
Damai roared and followed Ma Qiu Shan, who had a headache, into the courtyard, imitating Ma Qiu Shan's movements.
Ma Qiushan has learned almost everything in the past two days. He believes in Wang Yan and is more interested in these things now. He must have been practicing meditation in his mind these past two days. Of course Damai trusts Wang Yan, but she still has a playful attitude. She has a flexible mind for writing novels and is willing to accept some things. Anyway, she learned it in a crooked way and was very happy. Although her actual age is already twenty-eight, because she is not deeply involved in the world and has not enough experience, her mental age is still a little behind. A little girl...
After he prepared the ingredients and finished frying Master Kong's braised beef noodles with a clanking spoon, Ma Qiushan and Damai finished their work, and Nana also fell into a daze.
"DaMai, how's your practice going?" Nana asked her good friend with red cheeks.
"It's not bad. Anyway, I feel warm all over. The range of movements is not that big, and the activities are not violent, but you can see that I am sweating. Look at Mr. Ma, he is sweating more. It must be effective. "You should practice when you have time." Damai jumped across the threshold of the wing full of energy and asked, "Teacher Wang, sweating is normal, right?"
Wang Yan nodded: "I said before that the stomachache will last for a while. It may be more serious in the first two days, but it will not affect the mental state. It will become lighter and lighter in the future, and it will be fine in about half a month. Wait until When you perform a set of this skill and you no longer sweat, but your face becomes red and your energy is restrained, then you have completely mastered it.”
Ma Qiushan calmed his breathing and asked, "Is my amount of sweat normal?"
"It's normal, but it's just empty. As the saying goes, when a middle-aged person has no choice but to soak wolfberry in a thermos cup, after practicing for three to five months, he can get well."
"That's fine. Hey, what are you two girls looking at? I'm already 40, how can I be like a young man? Disgusting." Ma Qiushan had already given in. He couldn't take it anymore. Besides, he was at the point of a big setback in his life, so he didn't care about that much. So he was quite open-minded. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's eat quickly. I've had a good fight today. I feel better than before. Although I'm still a little dizzy, I'm much better than before. I have a big appetite now."
As they talked and laughed, the four of them sat at the table. The breakfast was very rich, including steamed buns, fried dough sticks, porridge, tofu brain, fried instant noodles, and a lot of specialties.
Nana sighed: "If I eat like this every day, I'm afraid I'll be too fat in two months."
"Nana, from the perspective of this middle-aged man, you are not fat at all, you are almost as thin as a pole, which is unhealthy." Ma Qiushan replied casually, and then stopped talking and asked, "Teacher Wang, where are you going to play today?"
"Hongdou was tired from climbing the mountain yesterday, so I won't go out today and take a day off."
"That's good, you have been here for several days and have basically never stayed in our courtyard. I see that the sky today is overcast, and it is likely to rain heavily. It is just right for you and me to drink tea and listen to the rain by the window. What do you think, Teacher Wang?"
"I really want it, but I dare not ask." Wang Yan nodded with a smile.
Nana and Damai looked disgusted. This kind of modern people trying to be ancient is not very friendly to the onlookers, giving people a feeling of being pretentious...
After everyone had dinner, it began to drizzle. Nana washed up and went to work. Wang Yan and the other two also washed up and stayed in the wing room.
Wang Yan sat on the sofa opposite Ma Qiushan. He was fiddling with the computer, while Ma Qiushan was preparing to make tea with tea sets. Damai sat on a high stool by the window, with the computer on the square table made by the window, and propped up his chin to look at the circles on the ground.
At this time, Xu Hongdou came to the wing room with an umbrella. Without waiting for her to speak, Damai said, "Hongdou, are you awake? Teacher Wang specially left breakfast for you. It's still hot on the table. Come and eat it."
Xu Hongdou met Wang Yan's deep eyes and smiled sweetly. While sitting at the table and fiddling with breakfast, she said, "I originally wanted to sleep in and get up to see the sun, but I was woken up by the sound of rain. But Teacher Wang, it's a coincidence today, otherwise it's not suitable to go out in this weather."
"Yes." Wang Yan nodded and smiled, "It's fate. God has given you face. If you don't go out, it will be cloudy and rainy."
"Look at what you said, it's too unreliable." Although she said so, Xu Hongdou still laughed with her teeth. She said, "What are you eating for lunch?"
"Look, Hongdou is really tired. She hasn't eaten breakfast yet, but she's thinking about lunch." Ma Qiushan smiled and gave Wang Yan He poured a cup of tea, "Come on, Mr. Wang, this is the special golden needle Yunnan red tea that Mr. Xie gave me. It is of very good quality and has the following effects..."
"Diuretic, anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, refreshing, heat-clearing, stomach-strengthening, digestion-aiding, anti-aging, blood sugar-lowering, blood pressure-lowering, blood lipid-lowering, anti-cancer, and anti-radiation."
Hearing Wang Yan's long list, Ma Qiushan was stunned for a moment and gave a thumbs up: "You are an expert."
"Not really, I just know a little bit." Wang Yan smiled and picked up the small teacup, rolled it around, tasted it, nodded, said "not bad", and then looked at Xu Hongdou who was waiting for his answer, "What goes best with rainy days?"
Da Mai continued: "Dove chocolate?"
"Da Mai, you have to examine the question. Can chocolate be eaten as a meal?" Seeing Da Mai's serious answer, Wang Yan shook his head with a smile, "Of course, hot pot goes best with rainy days, what do you think?"
"I think it's good." Xu Hongdou nodded.
Ma Qiushan chuckled, "I can say that, but you don't know that I haven't eaten here since I came here, mainly because there aren't so many people to have fun together."
Da Mai said weakly, "What if the rain stops at noon?"
Wang Yan smiled and waved his hand, "Don't be so strict, even if you have a fever, you still have to eat hot pot at noon today. Da Mai, don't you want to eat?"
"No, no, I just said that. I haven't eaten hot pot for a long time. I want to eat mutton." In order to show that he didn't want to eat, Da Mai ordered the dishes first.
"No problem. After I finish my tea with Master Ma, we'll drive to the city to buy vegetables and dinner."
"Oh, it's raining so hard, why do we have to go so far to buy vegetables?" Aunt Agui walked into the house quickly, "Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll get it back for you, free of charge, and give it to you. Don't go out on rainy days, and drive, it's so unsafe."
"Thank you, Aunt Agui, but we still have to go, we want to eat hot pot. Meat slices, meatballs, etc., it's not easy to get them in our village, right?" Wang Yan waved his hand and smiled, "It's raining so hard, why did Aunt Agui come here? It's quite clean, no need to worry."
"How can that be done? Ayao pays me 1,500 yuan every month, and that is to ask me to do good hygiene. Not to mention rain, even if it is a knife, it has to come. It is not easy for Ayao, I have to support his work." Aunt Agui spoke quickly and acted decisively. As she spoke, she picked up a broom and started sweeping the floor. "Why don't you people in big cities have to eat hot pot so much? I drove out to buy things in the rain. Are you cold? There is some firewood here for you to burn."
Seeing that Aunt Agui was about to light the fire, Ma Qiushan quickly stopped him: "No need to work, we are not cold, so that's good. Besides, if we light the fire, we don't have a room, and it's not raining lightly outside. It’s easy to get sick due to the alternation of cold and heat. Aunt Agui, I think this place is very clean. Why don’t we drink tea and talk together.”
"Okay, anyway, I have nothing to do." Aunt Agui stood there, looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and sat next to Wang Yan. She was more curious about what these city people were doing. A computer was buzzing, and she wanted to see what it was doing.
"Hey, this photo is beautiful. Ah, yes, yes, yes, I forgot, you are the one who took the photo. Ayao asked you to shoot a promotional video, right?"
Wang Yan smiled and nodded: "Aunt Agui is so well-informed?"
"The village is just that big. My old man works at Ayao's horse farm, and Ayao's company also works there. He is so close that anyone who comes in can hear it. Hey, as a professional photographer, can you give me some help? Can I take a photo? I'll send it to Dayang and Xiaoqing. They are my son and daughter, and they both work in Qingdao..."
No one needed to ask questions at all, Aunt Agui just kept talking about it in a loud voice.
Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Of course, wait a moment, I'll get the camera."
Soon, he came back again, holding the camera and directing Aunt Agui's position and posture to take pictures. One sheep was driven, and a group of sheep was herded. He also took pictures of Ma Qiushan and Barley, and then sat back to deal with the post-production.
Aunt Agui looked at the photos on the computer: "Just send them to me, what else are you doing?"
"Repair it to make the photo look better." Wang Yan explained simply.
While Wang Yan was working for her, Aunt Agui stopped talking to Wang Yan and started chatting with Xu Hongdou, Damai and Ma Qiushan, telling them her simple principles of life and caring for them enthusiastically.
Ma Qiushan and Xu Hongdou were easy to talk to. They were two idle people. Wang Yan watched Damai struggling there and wanted to go back with the computer. He was a little embarrassed. He sat there and listened to Aunt Agui's loud voice, politely covering up her anger. There is no love in life.
After all, when it comes to writing, of course the purer the better. Of course, being able to quiet your mind is a valuable ability, but you can’t stand being chatted with by others...
Fortunately, Damai's pain did not last long. Wang Yan quickly took the photo and sent it to Aunt Agui.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, don't say it, Teacher Wang, your profession is different. If you have time another day, can you take some photos of me and my child's father?"
Wang Yan smiled and nodded: "Of course."
"I remember, you can't fool the old woman."
Xu Hongdou on the side didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Aunt Agui, don't worry, he will definitely take pictures for you."
Aunt Agui nodded with satisfaction, stood up and said, "I can't let you take the photo in vain. Just wait. I'll get you some vegetables to eat. They are all fresh from my own house. It rained today. Wait until the rain stops. "There must be a lot of mushrooms on the mountain. I'll get some for you to eat. The mushrooms are not cheap. I sell them in the city and every restaurant will charge them."
Although Wang Yan and others said no, no, no, no, Aunt Agui still turned a deaf ear and left the courtyard with an umbrella. She was a complete talkative action person.
Ma Qiushan shook his head and said, "This Aunt Agui..."
Xu Hongdou, who was still eating breakfast, smiled and answered: "Really!"
"It's just too real!" Damai sat back by the window again, holding his chin and thinking about the plot.
Wang Yan was drinking tea there with a smile, editing pictures, and chatting with Ma Qiu Shan.
After a while, Ma Qiushan said: "Teacher Wang, do you know anything about milk tea?"
"If you don't like drinking it, what's wrong? Master Ma wants to make milk tea?"
Ideas are not born in a day. Wang Yan knew that Ma Qiushan wanted to make tea just like in the original drama. Talking to him now may be because he is well-informed or because he is rich.
This old boy held it in for two days and got drunk twice, but finally he couldn't hold it in any longer.
"It's not milk tea, I want to make tea."
Wang Yan was very cooperative and frowned and said: "Whether it's milk tea or tea, they are all saturated now, and they have already turned into a sea of red. Mr. Ma, you still have to be cautious. If you are not careful, your body will be wiped out." Ah. I know that you have done group buying and paid for knowledge before, and finally lost all your money in the sharing economy. Now it seems that Mr. Ma has not given up yet."
"Hey, as the saying goes, life is endless and struggle is endless. As a boss, how can I be willing to work for others? Do I suffer from such cowardice? I have been resting for almost a year, and it's time to get back into business."
Seeing Xu Hongdou and Damai looking at him with suspicious eyes, Ma Qiushan waved his hands modestly, with a calm and natural look on his face. However, his state did not last long, and he suddenly raised his head and asked in confusion, "No, Teacher Wang, I never told you, how did you know? Mr. Xie told you?"
Wang Yan picked up the phone on the table and waved it in the air: "Master Ma, we are now moving towards the intelligent era. If there is any achievement, there will be information on the Internet. You used to be a big boss, how could you be unknown? When we first met, I felt that you were extraordinary and had a unique temperament. After knowing your name, you will know it at a glance."
Ma Qiushan laughed, shook his head, and stretched out his hand to stroke his hair: "Oh, it's all the past, all the clouds."
While talking here, Damai had already found it out, muttering: "Ma Qiushan, male, 1982... Wow, Master Ma, you are really amazing."
Xu Hongdou also gave a thumbs up, Said nice words: "I thought, I saw that Master Ma was not an ordinary person, I didn't expect him to be such a big boss."
"It's all in the past. No matter how big the boss is, he will go bankrupt." Ma Qiushan waved his hands and said to Wang Yan with a smile, "Of course I know that the current tea market is a red ocean, but those tea drinks are not mainly tea, but still milk tea and juice. None of them are serious tea drinks. Or there are, but they haven't developed. And tea drinks are not just tea drinks. The store must be high-end and classy, and it must provide people with a place for leisure and entertainment."
"Just like Starbucks?" Xu Hongdou came over after breakfast and sat down next to Wang Yan.
"Almost, but I plan to get a bookshelf so that people can drink tea, listen to melodious music, and read books quietly." Ma Qiushan closed his eyes intoxicatedly, and slowly spread his hands in the air, as if the scene he described had already been staged.
Barley said: "But you are a tea shop, so you have to come back to tea in the end, right? Master Ma, do you have a recipe?"
Wang Yan nodded with a smile, and continued: "And a tea shop like yours must be opened in the CBD to have a market. If the product is not good, it will become a free leisure and entertainment place for people. You can't drive them away, right? The rent is not low."
Ma Qiushan calmly poured the tea, held it up to the tip of his nose and sniffed it for a long time, raised his head and drank it all. After getting the posture right, he spoke: "I am not talented, Ma is quite knowledgeable about tea ceremony, enough to study the recipe and get through the initial period. When the situation improves in the future, you can set up a research and development team to develop various flavors tea. Or, if there is a sum of money to help, you can also invest in research and development in advance, do a good job of market research, and attack accurately, so that great things can be accomplished..."
Xu Hongdou let out a long "oh", leaned to the left, and bumped into Wang Yan: "Teacher Wang, I understand, Master Ma is trying to get investment from you."
"Yes." Ma Qiushan nodded, and seeing Wang Yan counting on his fingers, he smiled and said, "Teacher Wang, you and I have known each other for more than four days. Some people believe in you at a glance, and some people will never believe in you even if they see you for a lifetime. Teacher Wang, Ma believes in you, but I wonder if you believe in me?"
"No." Wang Yan shook his head.
Seeing that Ma Qiushan's smug smile suddenly stopped, Wang Yan said with a smile: "Master Ma, don't take it seriously, this is a joke. If you believe me, I will believe you too. But in the final analysis, empty words are not enough. It's not realistic for you to ask me for alms just by talking. You should study it again and come up with a specific plan, and also come up with some formulas to let me see the possibility. Then we can talk about it, what do you think?"
"No problem, give me some time, I promise you will see the results."
Wang Yan nodded with a smile, raised his eyebrows at Xu Hongdou who obviously had something to say, and continued to drink tea.
As for Barley, he was stunned on the side. What did I see? The legendary business talks? Two people who have only known each other for a few days are about to ask for investment? And the other one has not refused yet, as if he really wants to invest? Where is the suspicion between people...
In fact, Wang Yan is very happy to invest in Ma Qiushan because he has succeeded. He dared to invest when he was just starting out and when he and Ma Qiushan had not known each other for a long time. This may seem like a fool to others, but when Ma Qiushan succeeds, he will be praised with a series of good words, such as "foresight", "unique vision", "insight into people", and other words that describe trust in others and vision for the future. They can all be used on him. He is really good at pretending.
Ma Qiushan was speechless, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, frowning and thinking, already immersed in it. Damai was silently typing on the computer, and Wang Yan's cell phone was ringing. Xu Hongdou, who was hesitant to speak, kept hesitating to speak, and quietly went to clean up the table.
After drinking tea for a while, he fixed the photos of Ma Qiushan and Damai, sent them the high-definition original photos, and after receiving a series of praises, he stood up and stretched his waist: "Let's go and buy vegetables."
"I'll go with you." Xu Hongdou said.
Wang Yan shook his head: "No, just take a rest. It's raining outside. If you catch a cold, it's really not worth it."
Da Mai raised his hand: "Teacher Wang, how about I go with you."
In Xu Hongdou's ambiguous eyes, Wang Yan waved his hand and said: "You are not needed, you are still working to make money. I can do it myself, I will be back soon, just wait for food."
After that, he took his mobile phone, held an umbrella, and walked into the wind and rain.
Xu Hongdou and Da Mai were left looking at each other, while Ma Qiushan was still immersed in his own world, unable to extricate himself...
