Chapter 10 Going to the Market

In the season before mid-autumn, the sky is long and the night is short. In the morning, the dawn is relatively early, and it is bright at six o'clock.

Zhang Taiping got up early in the morning, opened the door to the backyard, and strolled into the orchard in Hougu.The moist and fresh air inhaled into the lungs in the morning makes people feel a lot lighter in the bones.

First put up the Tai Chi starting gesture, and slowly move your muscles and bones for a while.To be honest, Zhang Taiping didn't like Taijiquan very much before. He always thought that Taijiquan was as slow as a snail, and it was mainly defensive and not sharp in attack.He likes to focus on attacking, sharp and powerful kung fu, so he followed his grandfather to mainly learn Hongquan, Bajibeng and Beitan Kick, which was once as famous as Nanquan.If it wasn't for Tai Chi being a kung fu handed down from the Zhang family's ancestors, and grandpa forced him to learn it, he wouldn't bother to touch it.

Whether Zhang Family's Tai Chi was passed on from Zhang Junbao is unknown.There is no genealogy and related records in the family.As for the other kung fu, Grandpa kept secret and never revealed anything.

It is understandable that Zhang Taiping didn't like Taiji because of his previous disposition.The Zhang family's Tai Chi is different from the fitness moves that everyone knows on the market, but a style of Tai Chi Kung Fu that can truly integrate offense and defense.It's not that anyone can learn it with just a few glances, but to experience and comprehend the mystery of four or two of them, which requires extremely high talent and character.But now Zhang Taiping has a special liking for Tai Chi, after all, he has been a human being in two lifetimes, and the experience of his previous life destined him to be a person who likes to be quiet and hates to move.What's more, the mentality of being 30 years old like 50 years old in the previous life has already worn away the sharp edges and corners, and tends to be round and peaceful, which is more conducive to the understanding and application of Tai Chi.

Although liking Tai Chi does not mean giving up other kung fu.

After Tai Chi has warmed up, take off your shirt and be shirtless.He also opened up the posture of Hong Fist, his fists were like the wind, and his masculinity accompanied him.After the hand work is done, it is the work on the legs.Boxing kung fu is known for its concentrated strength and instant burst, but leg kung fu lies in speed and dexterity.Of course there are also powerful kicks, but Zhang Taiping is not good at that.The majestic and burly body flashed and moved in the garden like a spirit shaft, and the legs flashed in the air like lightning, and the trouser legs rubbed against the air and made a whistling sound.

After practicing the legwork, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and climbed to the old locust tree at the top of the valley.Press down on the dantian with both palms, take a deep breath, and calm down the breath in your chest.The right fist was swung out instantly, and the air burst out from the dantian, "Ha!", like a muffled thunder exploding out of thin air.The fist hit the tree, and the trunk that the two of them could hold together shook unexpectedly, and some leaves fell from the thumb.

Zhang Taiping shook his numb fist, also surprised.Bajibeng is originally a type of instant power. It is not so much a boxing method as it is the secret of using strength.It is somewhat similar to Cun Jin, both of which are extremely aggressive punches in a small area.Zhang Taiping knew that after being nourished by the jade pendant, his body would be strengthened; but he did not expect that, combined with the upper Bengquan, he could exert such power.

Put away your thoughts and stick your back against the tree trunk.The waist is exerted, twisted slightly, the back and shoulders lean against the tree trunk with a bang, bang, bang, and the sound of "hi, hi, hi" is accompanied by an exhalation.Although this movement is simple, it has a great effect, whether it is the strength of the waist and abdomen or the skill of turning the shoulders back.Every time the tree body shakes slightly.

I didn't give up until I was sweating profusely. The heat radiated from the bone marrow, which was very refreshing. It had the same effect as drinking the spring water in the space.

Zhang Taiping looked at the fallen leaves, looked around, took out a ball of spring water with his mind and poured it on the roots of the old pagoda tree.The effect is not as obvious as watering vegetables, but it is also like a second spring, and the leaves are as green as spring at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zhang Taiping patted the tree trunk in satisfaction, then grabbed the shirt and put it on his shoulders and walked back.

When we arrived in the backyard, we happened to meet Cai Xiaomei who came out of the toilet. Zhang Taiping just wanted to strike up a conversation, but he didn't want Cai Xiaomei to open his eyes and curse.

"shameless!"

In rural areas, and even in many cities, it is common for men to go shirtless in summer.

It may be that Zhang Taiping's body is too powerful to give people a visual impact, not to mention that he has just finished exercising, and his masculinity is strong.Cai Xiaomei cursed out of nowhere, even she felt baffled after scolding.With a blushing face, he turned and ran into the house.

Zhang Taiping looked down and shook his head, not paying attention.I went across the yard to get a towel, and went upstream along the river in front of the door.

After taking a shower, my wife had already prepared breakfast.

After breakfast, after hesitating for a long time, he still called his wife to the door.No way, a penny can't beat a hero.

Opening his mouth, he thought to himself, it's a ball, and it's not ashamed to be in front of his wife.

"I want to go to Yinzhen Market and give me some money."

After hearing this, his wife's face instantly turned pale. She looked up at the calm Zhang Taiping, hesitated for a long time, bit her lip and turned to enter the room, closing the bedroom door lightly.

It didn't take long to come out holding a wad of money.It is said to be a stack, but there are not many.Three denominations of one hundred, two denominations of twenty, and the rest are ten yuan, a total of 400 yuan.The three [-] denominations were from Cai Xiaomei who gave [-] of the remaining [-] to her sister last night, and the small denominations were all accumulated by his wife from collecting wild goods.

After receiving the money, Zhang Taiping felt that the money was worth more than ten thousand gold when he saw his wife holding back the tears that swirled in her eyes and the light of grief behind the tears.I wanted to explain something, but found that all words were powerless.Sighing helplessly, he can only prove it with actions.

Rinse the [-] bicycle that has not been used for a long time from the beginning to the end, find a rag to wipe it clean, and put a snakeskin bag on the back seat.Only then did he get on his mount and set off along Shunhe Road.

The river comes out of the mountains, and I don't know where the source is. The river water is crystal clear, and occasionally you can see flashing fish and crabs covered in the sun.

Although it is in the deep mountains, the road along the river while leaning against the mountain is not a narrow path. It is about four meters wide and can accommodate a small pickup truck.The road is paved with a layer of gravel and fine sand, even if it rains, it will not be so muddy.This road was opened in the 90s in response to the slogan "If you want to get rich, build the road first", the whole village has contributed money and funds to open it. These years have really brought a lot of convenience to the village.At least the vehicles for harvesting grain and fruit can drive into the mountains, and it is much more convenient for people to go out and sell some mountain products and medicinal materials, and their income has increased.

Zhang Taiping's house is in the southernmost part of the village, on a slightly higher terrain, and he rode down on a bicycle.The jagged houses are scattered on both sides of the river, and the chic eaves with retro flavor are reflected among the trees.Passing through it, the fine wind of autumn and summer caresses the face, just like walking in the center of the painting, and the rhythm of elegance and tranquility can be seen everywhere.

Rushing out of the village, looking north, there are still mountains under the blue sky with a few cotton clouds floating.Zhang Taiping speeded up his horse, and accompanied by his reflection in the river, the road of more than ten miles passed by in a flash.

Just turning a hill, the scenery in front of me suddenly changed.

This village is called Fengyukou Village, with five or six hundred households, it can be regarded as a well-known large village nearby.Although it has not yet reached the outside of the mountain, it has a strong modern atmosphere.The buildings are all brick buildings, there are no longer a few two-story and three-story buildings, and there are signs of "accommodation" and "farmhouse" in front of many doors.The ground is all concrete, and landscape trees are neatly planted on both sides of the road, and cars parked under the trees can be seen from time to time.

Fengyukou Village is adjacent to Taixing Mountain, which is quite famous in the southern area of ​​Xi'an.Taixing Mountain was originally a holy place for believers in temple fairs.The mountain is more than 3000 meters high, and there are more than [-] temples of various types. Every year from May to September, incense is at its peak, and people come and go in an endless stream.Coupled with the beautiful and peculiar scenery, although it is not as exaggerated as Huashan Mountain, it can also be associated with the word "risk", which attracts a large number of city people to visit and visit every year.

Sheng Damin, the head of Fengyukou Village, is a capable and quick-witted person, and he is willing to do some practical things for the villagers.He keenly sees the business opportunity in it.Therefore, Taixing Mountain was applied as a landscape area, and the gate to enter the mountain was set up at the entrance of the village. Outsiders were charged 20 yuan, and those living nearby were charged [-] to [-] yuan, which was a lot of money for a year.He also vigorously encouraged the villagers to set up farmhouses, and his home is the largest farmhouse in the village as an example.

Over the years, those villagers who stood up first really made a lot of money.

Zhang Taiping thought about it too, now that there are many high-rise buildings in the city, people's living standards have improved.But the dirty air and the tight rhythm make people feel uncomfortable physically or psychologically.After busy work, they will find ways to relax. The farmhouse, which has developed rapidly in recent years, has become the first choice for people who are tired of the urban environment and have never distinguished the five grains in their lives.It can not only stay away from the invasion of various public hazards, but also enjoy the infinite scenery of the nature in the suburbs; it can not only relax the temperament and relieve stress, but also enjoy the leisurely and comfortable farm tunes.

The cement road is fast, less than 10 minutes from Fengyukou Village to the asphalt road around the mountain outside the mountain.

This kind of "two or eight donkeys" is rare nowadays. Bicycles are all gear-shifting or road bikes, or simply roaring motorcycles.Zhang Taiping's tall horse is already eye-catching, and then he stepped on an 80s mount, which attracted attention all the way.

Yinzhen is not too far from the mouth of Fengyu, let go around the Huanshan Road, and we will arrive after nine o'clock.

Yinzhen Cross is the most prosperous area in Yinzhen.The market is centered on Yinzhen Cross and radiates four streets around, three horizontal and one vertical, forming a "Feng" character.The north-south vertical street is the main street, and there are many shops on both sides of the street. It was only nine o'clock, and there were already a lot of stalls and shouts.

Zhang Taiping came from the south, and the first thing he entered was some fruit stalls.Most of the fruit sellers in this area are occupied by locals for a short period of time. It is still far away from the cross, and it is relatively remote compared to other areas.Even so, the booth needs to be reserved in advance the night before, and things have to be placed before dawn in the morning, otherwise others will occupy it.Those bustling areas near the cross or specially opened squares have been leased out by the government.The stalls set up here are all small fruit farmers in the vicinity who sell goods every day. The sellers are basically women and the elderly. It is not bad to sell six to seventy yuan a day. It is really not worthwhile for the family to fight here for a day.

Most of the fruit types are ripe in autumn.There are apples, pears, dates and so on.There are also nuts such as walnuts and chestnuts.Peaches and grapes are also sold.

The apples and pears in this season are not yet ripe.The apples are only freshly colored, even green, but the cores have been opened, and they taste sweet without astringency.Pears are also just turning yellow. When they are not ripe, they are juicy, but mixed with sweet and sour. Compared with when they are ripe, they are just juicy and sweet. Children like them more.Fruit growers pick and unload them early, just to get a good price and earn more.After all, fruits out of season are always popular.

Peaches and grapes are also a rarity going into fall.Of course, the grapes in the fruit store are not included, and God knows how long these grapes have been stored.Talking about fresh only, these peaches and grapes are anything but new varieties because growers have the skills to slow down the fruit cycle.
