Chapter 99: Coveting the old leader’s ability
The east wing of the courtyard house.
In the kitchen outside, the fish cooked by Li Xiaolan has been cooked.
The drinking party among the three people in the room continued.
In fact, it was mainly the two of them who were interacting. Su Mu listened more and laughed along with each other.
Listen to Su Yingjun and Xu Damao reminisce about the past, talk about their feelings, and talk about the future...
He understood Xu Damao's gradually confused words.
Xu Damao spent two months in closed training this time, just to learn and study in order to become a regular employee.
When I return to the steel rolling mill next week, I will become a regular employee under the Propaganda Department, and I will be the first person to be shown in the club cinema affiliated with the union.
Well, the film projection work at the Steel Rolling Mill used to be empty, but it had been idle because there was no projectionist.
Now, it seems that Xu Damao is missing.
As for one of the eight members, he can indeed make some noise.
Su Mu was a little envious.
Among the eight members, ranked according to the degree of envy, the salesperson ranked first, followed closely by the movie projectionist.
Salespersons belong to the supply and marketing system and have access to many internal channels and information, and can buy some 'defective products' that do not require tickets.
Materials are of paramount importance these days, and having one more channel to obtain materials is the most sought after thing.
Next is the projectionist.
I am respected and sought after wherever I go. If I go to the countryside to watch a movie, although I am a little tired, it is not difficult to talk about the local specialties that express my feelings. The only difference is that the threshold is a bit high and the technology is more technical.
He Yuzhu's cook is the bottom among the eight members in terms of extra benefits and income.
If we talk about young people in their 20s who have just entered the workplace, He Yuzhu's cook is definitely the most eye-catching presence.
There is food and drink, and the income is not bad.
But under the same circumstances, after five or six years, the cook's income will not be satisfactory.
No matter how much food you eat, it can't compare to a real salary of more than ten or 20 yuan.
Although the cook can also take on some jobs privately, it is not a stable and long-term solution.
Not all cooks can enjoy this treatment.
To sum up, Xu Damao can indeed make a fool of himself.
This time, Xu Damao and He Yuzhu, who had been competing with each other, undoubtedly had the upper hand.
"Brother Damao, I have something to do tomorrow. You and my brother have a drink first. I have to go back to the house..."
"Go, go, don't delay the business, we are in the same courtyard, and we will get together often in the future."
In fact, Su Mu also saw it.
Xu Damao was already drunk.
But not to the point of drinking too much.
At least he's sane, but he can't keep his mouth shut.
"Brother, haven't you finished your work yet?"
Su Yingjun thought that Su Mu would have to drink wine tomorrow morning, so he was a little worried.
Even he wouldn't be able to bear the continuous high load.
"One more thing, it's all in one trip. Mainly there are other things."
"Well, then go back quickly and get some rest early."
Su Mu confessed his crime to Xu Damao, turned around and walked out of the east wing.
Su Mu had no interest in this kind of meaningless drinking party.
Especially when Xu Damao just came to Su Yingjun to join in a round and had no other thoughts.
Su Mu was even more lazy to participate.
Isn’t it great to spend all that time lying in bed and researching new functions of Space Gold Finger?
……
In the following week, Sumu lived a very regular, fulfilling and meaningful life.
On Mondays and Thursdays, he will report to Xiaoshi on the other side of Deshengmen as always.
On Tuesday and Friday, we went to the vicinity of Yonghe Temple.
Wednesday is unshakable, Dongxiao City.
The grain yield of dozens of acres of land in Sumu Space is very gratifying.
It can be described as an absolute bumper harvest.
After the harvest, Sumu didn't care about the soil condition and simply planted food seeds again.
He has observed that there is a high probability that his space is not ordinary soil. What is needed for seed growth is converted from space energy.
As for how energy is gathered...
This sumu is also unknown for the time being.
Let’s try it out first.
There is food on hand and no panic in mind.
Not only did he not panic, but during his endlessly enjoyable trip to Xiaoshi, Sumu's gains were considerable.
Primitive accumulation has reached an astonishing level.
Xiaoshi appears in the middle of the night and disperses at dawn, and does not delay Su Mu's work during the day.
Pulling goods on carts has become Su Mu's pastime.
He would rush to do the work of the lifting club, no matter how big or small the income was.
When it comes to non-living work, Su Mu seems to be somewhat Buddhist.
Occasionally, I would sneak out of the city and wander around in the mountains.
It will definitely be an unstoppable journey into the mountains during the day on Wednesday.
Su Mu is nowhere to be seen in the city.
Here's another little tidbit.
Su Mu ran a little further during the day this Wednesday, and when he came back, he took the shuttle bus as a habit.
As a result, Su Shengli and others who besieged him stayed in the north area of Liangma River Bridge for a long time, but they did not encounter Su Mu's carriage back to the city.
It was Chen Dakui who communicated with Su Mu afterwards.
Therefore, Su Mu planned to 'cooperate' with the other party next Wednesday.
Weekend rest day.
Su Mu declined Uncle Yan's warm invitation, using the excuse that he planned to go fishing outside the city.
Yan Bugui still wanted to follow, but he was a little reluctant considering that he had to pay the fare before he could gain anything.
After chatting haha, he left alone.
"I made an appointment with Lao Ran. It's not okay to break the appointment. We are all from the cultural circle. Keeping the appointment is the minimum. Next time, next time."
Su Mu smiled slightly and looked very regretful.
have to say.
Without the pressure of his back foot stepping on his front heel, Su Mu, who was relaxed physically and mentally, has grown again in terms of dealing with others.
Go straight to Xijixiang Hutong.
This week, Su Mu went there twice.
It's all about 'paying off debt'.
It may be that Gutou initially gave away the small yellow croaker after spending thousands of gold to buy horse bones.
Perhaps I had already prepared myself for the possibility of being deceived.
I didn’t expect that this guy Su Mu was very honest.
And his skills are really good.
The ancient meat supply was miraculously restored again.
When Su Mu went there for the second time, he got two more pieces of small yellow croaker.
Today is his first time to 'supply'.
Taking advantage of yesterday's excuse to go out to the city, I planned to get a satellite for the old man.
The wild boars in the space had fewer natural enemies and had a good environment with spring-like food and drink all year round, so they gained weight very quickly.
Su Mu chose a large one to pay off debts.
Anyway, having too many boars is of little use, one in each wild boar group is enough.
Its perfect destination is to be killed and eaten.
"Mrs. Li, good morning."
"Good morning, Xiao Su, have you had breakfast?"
The old woman's surname is Li, and she is Gutou's first wife, actually his companion.
Yes.
The old man himself admitted that he was the eunuch who came out of the palace.
Su Mu is not blind.
After serving a few hares and pheasants for the first time, I saw the old man's head and face were rosy the second time he came, making him feel a few years younger.
Under the nose is the mouth, open your mouth and ask.
The old man didn't cover his head, but said it directly.
Not only did he talk about himself, but he also talked about Aunt Li's situation. She was also a military official in the harem, and she had the skills to help , Gu was not the first person to eat the meat in the courtyard, Aunt Li also needed it.
Both of them learned ancient martial arts and had the skills of palace guards that had been passed down for hundreds of years.
For Sumu, a person who came from modern life, his attraction should not be too great.
When I first heard it, I almost couldn't sleep at night.
This kind of rare and soon-to-be-extended skill that can be passed down from generation to generation cannot be obtained by Su Mu using the meat supply as a threat.
He figured out a three-step process.
The first step is to get familiar with Gutou.
Even if they are not close friends, they should look more like a family.
"Auntie, I've eaten. There's something big today. Let's help carry it into the courtyard..."
Even though her voice has the soft accent of a southern woman, Aunt Li looks quite ladylike on weekdays.
When she saw a large wild boar weighing more than 300 kilograms and covered with straw on the cart.
His true colors were immediately revealed.
He grabbed the fangs with one hand and pulled a hind leg with the other hand.
The legs were slightly bent, and then they were lifted straight up.
The boar's body is dirty, but its clothes won't be dirty if it is lifted flat.
Sumu can do it even if he is conceited to this extent.
But his situation is special, because he can only do it with the blessing of Old Leopard.
But Aunt Li is an old lady in her seventies, and she is still an elderly person in the category of weak women.
You can do this, and it looks just as easy.
This kind of performance made Su Mu yearn for the word "martial arts" even more.
Gutou had just finished a set of punches in the yard.
When Su Mu turned around from the bamboo forest, he only saw the old man standing on his head and finishing his work.
It's no different from what's shown on TV, just put your palms down, align your fingertips, and slowly press down from your chest.
"Oops, I came a step too late and didn't see the beauty of the ancient Jin boxing technique."
Su Mu rolled his eyes and immediately sighed loudly.
The old man glanced at the little guy and said nothing.
The salt he had eaten was no less than the rice Su Mu had eaten. How could he not understand the evil thoughts.
However, the law is not passed lightly.
Meat is a transaction, just a business.
The matter of passing on the qigong is not something that can be agreed upon easily.
In fact, partner Li said two days ago that he would teach Su Mu how to handle.
But was rejected by the ancient head.
In ancient times, chivalrous men used martial arts to violate taboos. Now martial arts is no longer the standard for measuring a person's ability.
After all, no matter how powerful your martial arts skills are, you will be knocked down with just one shot.
This shows that society is more complex and dangerous.
Gutou didn't want Su Mu to do evil by relying on what he had learned, and he didn't want his youth and arrogance to lead to big problems.
In the end, after investigating, it turned out that the unlucky one couldn't escape him.
Gutou has experienced too much, and he has looked down upon, looked away from, and seen through many things.
It's not that he doesn't want to pass on his skills.
But he still needs to observe and observe Su Mu's character.
Well, the reason why Chinese martial arts has become a showpiece in the end is just a performance.
This is probably where it comes from.
Being too cautious has resulted in many real martial arts disappearing due to faults or accidents during the evolution of time.
"Xiao Su got a big wild boar today, weighing 320 kilograms. It will last for a while."
Aunt Li came over empty-handed.
She must have put that big wild boar in the front kitchen.
"Oh? A whole one, this is a good thing."
Speaking of wild boars, the ancient head was moved.
At least he has a smile on his old face.
"Boy, the more good things like this the better in the future, you know?"
"It's just good luck that I met you. I don't know if I will be lucky next time. I don't know martial arts, and my legs and feet are just like that. It's normal that I can't catch up, right?"
Gu Gu was speechless.
"Bring me two more for this kid."
"It can't be used. The previous ones are not enough."
"What's left is not enough for a wild boar, so just take it."
I used to call him 'little friend' politely, but now I am correcting myself.
He didn't speak politely. It felt like although he didn't teach Su Mu any skills, he was a bit relying on his elders and treating himself as an elder, so he dared to speak loudly to Su Mu.
This was because he saw that Su Mu was interested in his martial arts, and knew that Su Mu didn't dare to lose his temper.
People mature.
If you don't bully me.
Ugh.
Su Mu sighed silently and followed Gutou into the house.
"Gu Gu, how have you considered what you said last time?"
"Do you really want to learn?"
"Yes. I just like it."
This is Sumu's second step, to retreat in order to advance.
There are many antiques and old objects in Gutou's yard. Since you don't teach martial arts, you can always teach antique appreciation.
Once you go back and forth, you will become more familiar.
When the time comes, just talk about 'master', it's been a long time, why don't you teach me some real skills?
This move focuses on a thick-skinned person.
"Okay. Five rabbits every week, and I'll teach you for an hour and a half."
"Gu Gu, can we discuss it? Three Rabbits, I will study three days a week."
Gutou glared and was about to speak.
Su Mu quickly took the lead: "Don't worry, listen to my explanation. I have something to do every Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday, and the lifting club may have to be busy all day if there is any work. I can't come here to study all day." ah."
On Tuesday, I made an appointment with Xiao Chunsheng to return to the compound. After all, he is his biggest disciple in the painting world, and the promises he made must be put into action.
Going to the mountains every Wednesday is a regular program.
If I go to take a bath with my eldest brother on the weekend off, or go fishing or something...
Time is tight.
The old man is not a pedantic person.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to live so long and still be so nourished.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded in agreement.
In fact, Su Mu didn't care whether there were three hares or five hares.
Rabbits seem to be very difficult to raise at home.
But in space, there is already a trend of being overcrowded with rabbits.
This guy gives birth to litter after litter too frequently.
Su Mu was already worried that he wouldn't be able to eat it.
So there is no pressure at all for Gutou to do it every Friday.
Not to mention five, ten or twenty are also acceptable.
But that being said, things definitely can’t be done this way.
When flying a kite, you can't always fly the line with the wind. You have to tighten it occasionally.
If you have a habit of listening to Gutou from the beginning, how can you bargain in the future?
You must not only achieve your goals, but also express your presence appropriately.
In layman’s terms, it means the importance of reflecting your own value from time to time.
Now they are short of meat. They have it and provide it, but they can't feed it all at once.
To maintain a degree.
Only in this way can it truly last long.
Only then is it most likely to achieve the ultimate goal of learning true martial arts.
The old fox has his mountain-climbing skills, and the second-born Su Mu also has his unique ladder for climbing over walls.
Everyone has their own plans.
Aunt Li walked in again, poured tea for the two of them from the long-mouth pot, moved to the right side of the door, and sat down quietly.
