Chapter 4: Cockcrow and Fight Who are you? You said that I am the only one who should move all the salted fish today? Only I am the only one who should move it? Just when Tao Tie was wondering, Li Zeyuan, the manager of the Shahe gang at the dock, ran over. "Xiu Xiu, why did you come here? There are only rough people here, and the smell is not good." Li Zeyuan stopped in front of the cute maid who was laughing with her hands covering her mouth, and said with concern, "Go to my duty room and sit for a while and have a cup of tea, Xiuxiu." While speaking, Li Zeyuan glanced at Tao Tie and Uncle Hui, perhaps intentionally or unintentionally. Tao Tie is not a person without vision, nor is he a fool. He didn't even need Li Zeyuan to glance at him. He had already stood up and walked to the side with Uncle Hui. The cute maid named Xiuxiu did not refuse the invitation of Manager Li, but just said: "Brother Zeyuan, can he move the salted fish on the dock alone today? I think what this person just said is very interesting. I want to see if he is a salted fish." "no problem." In fact, Li Zeyuan didn't hear what Tao Tie said just now, but he agreed to the request of the pretty maid Xiuxiu without hesitation.
To him, it was just a small matter. If he could please Xiuxiu and make her agree to his pursuit and be willing to marry him, it would be a great deal. Even if you can't get married for the time being, it's great if you can improve your image and your status in your heart. If something really happens, Xiuxiu can say a few good words for him in front of the eldest lady, which will be more effective than any other schemes. After all, the gang leader has only one child, the eldest daughter, and he dotes on her very much, even to the point of obeying her every word. "you." After agreeing to Xiuxiu's request, Manager Li immediately turned sideways and gave Tao Tie an order, "You will move all the salted fish on the dock today. Do you understand?" "Yes, Manager Li." Tao Tie agreed without hesitation or embarrassment. Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to draft water. Liuxian County has a well-developed water system and abundant aquatic products. It can not only meet the needs of local people in Liuxian County, but also be sold outside to increase income. Fresh fish is a business, and salted fish is also a business. It’s just that compared to the scale of the fresh fish business, the amount of salted fish is much less. There is more than one wharf in Liuxian County. Even if there is only one porter to carry all the salted fish on the dock, he can still do it. If you come across a porter who needs to support a large family, you would wish to encounter such a good thing every day. Of course, Tao Tie only verbally agreed to Manager Li. In the actual process, he would definitely do things within his ability and would never force himself. "My dear, you have changed."
After walking a few steps away from Steward Li and the cute maid Xiuxiu who were heading to the dock duty room, Uncle Hui lowered his voice and said, "Are you possessed by evil spirits? Are you possessed by a ghost? How come you have changed so much?" As he spoke, Uncle Hui looked Tao Tie up and down with suspicion. It seemed that he really believed that Tao Tie was possessed by a ghost. "Uncle Hui, what are you talking about?" Tao Tie smiled and said naturally, "If I were really possessed by evil spirits, would I still be carrying bags at the dock?" "That's true." Uncle Hui nodded and stopped talking about this topic. Instead, he said, "Take it easy. Don't be so stubborn. If you can't bear it anymore, just let out a cry." After saying this, Uncle Hui did not continue walking with Tao Tie, but went to carry the bag. Tao Tie walked to the place where the salted fish were unloaded, said the order from Manager Li, and then started to unload the goods steadily. Soon, a busy morning passed and it was time for lunch. Porters who have families, such as Uncle Hui, naturally go home for dinner. Singles, like Tao Tie, can only find ways to deal with it casually. Dayong Dynasty was a prosperous place, prices were not high, and it could even be considered a very livable place. One penny can buy a large piece of sauce cake. For a porter like Tao Tie, two pieces of sauce cakes are enough for breakfast. Calculated based on this purchasing power, a dock porter earns seven or eight strings of cash a month, which is similar to the monthly income of many construction workers who earned over ten thousand yuan in Tao Tie's previous life. The original person lived a very frugal life on weekdays, always thinking about saving money to marry a wife, and was reluctant to spend money on food and even less on clothes. Tao Tie is different. He had mixed noodles last night and pancakes this morning. His stomach had been revolting for a long time and he wanted to eat something delicious. However, Tao Tie could not eat something delicious just because he wanted to. The small restaurants near the pier all offer good quality food at low prices and are cheap and filling. With Tao Tie's current attire and the smell of salted fish, he can't go to other better pubs or restaurants for dinner. There was no choice, Tao Tie finally chose the restaurant where he had eaten last night and ordered a large bowl of mixed noodles. Offal are animal organs, such as liver, heart, lungs, intestines, etc. While eating, Tao Tie's mind couldn't help but drift to the information fragments triggered by incorporating the "Five Animal Exercises" into the "Taotie Visualization Method". Like complements like, like complements action. Tiger's liver, deer's kidneys, bear's spleen, monkey's heart, bird's lungs. The five elements are interdependent and the foundation is laid in a hundred days. From the perspective of eating to make up for deficiencies, the clues given by these three pieces of information are very obvious. That is, if you want to master a certain role, you have to eat the corresponding internal organs.
For example, if you want to learn tiger skills, you have to eat tiger liver. What’s a little special is that the food here is not eaten by Tao Tie himself. Instead, you should practice the Taotie Visualization Method, visualize Taotie, and transform yourself into Taotie. Conceptually, you should eat the liver of a tiger, the kidney of a deer, the spleen of a bear, the heart of a monkey, and the lungs of a bird. There are also rules for eating in order, according to the five elements. What is the mutual generation of the five elements? Metal gives birth to water, water gives birth to wood, wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, and earth gives birth to metal. This cycle repeats itself, which is the mutual generation of the Five Elements. "so……" Tao Tie picked out a piece of sheep lung from the offal noodles, put it into his mouth and chewed it carefully. "Considering my current financial situation, I will start with the bird's lungs, that is, start with the bird play, and then the deer play, tiger play, ape play, and bear play in order, which will be easier to achieve." After all, the "Five Animal Exercises" that can complete the "100-day foundation building" are fundamentally different from the "Five Animal Exercises" that strengthen the body. Every time you master a play, you gain a physical improvement. Until all five exercises are practiced, the five elements are generated, the five exercises are circulated, and the foundation of Taoism is built. After all, chickens are birds too! Buying a pair of chicken lungs is such a simple thing. The key point is that the subsequent purchase of deer kidneys, tiger livers, monkey hearts and bear spleens by a porter at the dock is likely to attract unnecessary attention. "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Muttering this in his mind, Tao Tie didn't worry too much. He finished the soup in his bowl, paid the bill and left. Back to the dock, after a short rest, it was another afternoon of work. Just like yesterday, in the evening, Tao Tie and Uncle Hui left the dock together. However, after they separated, Tao Tie did not go to a restaurant to find food, but went to the nearest live poultry shop and bought two roosters. The reason why Tao Tie bought a whole live chicken instead of just chicken lungs was because he didn't want his behavior to appear too strange. The reason for buying a rooster instead of a hen is because a rooster crows and its lungs obviously are better. The reason why he bought two instead of just one is because Tao Tie always has the habit of keeping a backup when doing things. If you don’t succeed the first time, you can try a second time immediately without wasting time. After returning home, Tao Tie took immediate action. Lock up a rooster, kill a rooster, take out the chicken lungs, visualize Taotie, and transform yourself into Taotie. Like complements like, like complements action. Time passed quickly, the night ended and dawn came.
Tao Tie came out of the state of visualization, followed the mysterious feeling in his heart, opened the posture, and began to practice the bird exercise of the Five Animal Exercises. When he was having fun practicing, Tao Tie raised his head, opened his mouth, and let out a very loud whistle following the crowing of a rooster. Click, click, click... Along with the crowing of roosters and the roar of roars, there is the golden sun shining in the sky. The rooster sings and the world is white! (End of this chapter)
