Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 246: Throwing baguette fruit

Fighting wooden dummies is not unique to Wing Chun.

Bajiquan and Wudang boxing also use wooden dummy stakes as tools for practicing hands.

According to the inheritance, sooner or later, maybe Wudang will use the wooden dummy first, and other sects will use it after seeing the effect is good.

In Chu Xiangqian's memory, there are many movie clips and videos of Wing Chun driving wooden dummy piles, and he taught Norton last time.

As for whether this counts as stealing lessons, let Master Ye and Zhang Tianzhi come to us to decide.

Maybe after the two of them find out, they will feel proud.

I feel that people with Chu Xiangqian's level of skill are interested in Wing Chun. Doesn't it just mean that Wing Chun is very strong?
Norton hurriedly finished warming up, walked up to the wooden dummy, and set up a posture. He silently recited the moves he had practiced during this period of time, remained silent for more than ten seconds, and then began to practice.

For a while, the practice room was filled with the sound of hitting wooden dummy posts.

Luckily for Ward, he had seen Chu Xiangqian's skills with his own eyes.The woman standing aside looked at Norton and then at Chu Qianqian with confusion and confusion on her face after watching for a while.

It took a while to ask Ward in a low voice, "What's the use of this?"

Ward's heart tightened. During his martial arts practice with Norton in London, he had heard many taboos and rules from many Chinese people just like Norton.

Busily waved to the woman, led her to the wall, and said in a very low voice, "Your Highness, please don't question Master Chu at this time.

Otherwise Sir Norton might be driven away. "

Margaret was stunned and asked secretly what kind of rule is this?
Chu Xiangqian's hearing ability has long surpassed that of ordinary people. When he heard the word Your Highness, he suddenly thought of a few photos.

The most famous one is naturally the scene of a woman wearing a crown and lying in a bathtub.

In the future, it can be said that the royal family of England will be able to support dozens of newspapers by relying on all kinds of negative news.

And the truly extraordinary members of the royal family are not only the father and son of the little prince who will not grow up in later generations and the 70-year-old prince.

It can be said that compared with this Princess Margaery, the latter two are not so out of line.

The first officer to fall in love with a married woman, and even almost get married.

The first married and divorced the photographer.

The first one was taken with a special photo, which was also released, and was even used to blackmail MI5 and the royal family.

Since Chu Xiangqian recognized who this woman was, many memories soon emerged.

After thinking for a while, and calculating silently, Margaery should be in a period of confusion and rebellion because of her first love, the officer, who just married a Belgian girl.

According to memory, she should have gone to a small island in Da'ao to relax, and then met a photographer.

I don't know if it's rebellion and revenge, or the photographer really attracted her. The two only knew each other for half a year, and news of their marriage came out at the end of this year.

Chu Xiangqian glanced at this woman who was first sad and then unrestrained in matters of relationship.

Then I thought to myself, this is a big trouble.

So when he taught Norton later, Chu Xiangqian changed his previous casual attitude and had no intention of practicing it himself.

Instead, he scolded Norton several times with his harsh attitude. In Margaery's view, Chu Xiangqian was not only rude, but also extremely conceited and even arrogant.

Norton was dumbfounded by the scolding. If someone else scolded him like this, this kid would 100% walk away with his sleeves, and even start a fight.

But thinking of Chu Xiangqian's tyrannosaurus-like strength, Norton didn't even have the courage to leave.

Moreover, as he scolded and scolded, he began to feel that the master was beginning to recognize himself. Otherwise, how could he be so harsh?
Only Ward gradually understood that Chu Xiangqian was deliberately acting rude and impolite in front of Margery.

Secretly said that Chu Xiangqian is powerful, although getting along with Margaret seems to have a lot of benefits.

But as long as people who really know the suffocating rules of the royal family, even nobles, will take the initiative to stay away from this circle.

When Chu Xiangqian scolded Norton for the third time, Margery couldn't stay any longer, and while Chu Xiangqian was talking about the break, she hurriedly signaled to Ward to leave.

Ward nodded, took Margery out of the practice room, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Sir Norton should let him understand that the most correct choice is to take the initiative to stay away from Chu."

Margaery thought about it, and felt that Norton couldn't bear it for long, and the so-called Kung Fu master just cursed, and didn't beat him or do any other outrageous actions.

He said hurriedly, "Then I'll go back to the hotel first."

Ward naturally wanted Margery to go back, and he didn't have to worry about security issues.

After watching the convoy leave, Ward heaved a sigh of relief.

When I got back to the practice room, I saw Chu Xiangqian holding hands and teaching Norton how to use a short stick.

Although he still scolded Norton for being too stupid, it was not as harsh as before.

By the way, he would occasionally give a few compliments, which immediately made Norton seem to forget how badly he had been scolded just now.

Ward is now certain that Chu Xiangqian did it on purpose just now.

At the same time, he secretly thought to himself that Norton still lacked exercise, was a little timid, and was not very bright.

He didn't realize that he was being used by Chu.

After secretly going back, he still had to take the initiative to raise this matter with Sir Mountbatten.

But within a few seconds, Ward's heart suddenly moved. If Norton turned into an old fox, wouldn't it be more difficult for him to fool around?
On the contrary, employers who are not so smart are the best employers.

For a moment, Ward felt that he should take the initiative to contact Chu Qianqian.

In the future, I will trade antiques from the Celestial Dynasty and European and American oil paintings, so that I can reap some benefits from them.

If Chu Xiangqian knew what Ward was thinking, he would sell him immediately.

In his eyes, Norton is just a child who has not grown up. There is no benefit in coaxing him. If he is seen through, he will not feel better when facing Mountbatten's anger.

That old guy dared to fight people with a gun, and he just became the supreme commander of the infant country's military last year.

For many years to come, his influence in England will not be worse than the first 'item'.

It would be a fool to offend Mountbatten for a little money.

It can be said that Mountbatten was in full swing at this time, and even the head of Downing Street felt trembling when he saw him.

Moreover, there are quite a few aristocrats working in the government. Anyone who wants to settle in Downing Street will definitely need Mountbatten's support.

Of course, it's not a big problem if you really offend him, after all, I didn't do anything to Norton.

But Chu Xiangqian was worried that he would lose his excellent channels in exchange for a large number of antiques and foreign oil paintings.

Just 10 Picasso oil paintings will be worth billions of dollars in the future.

After teaching Norton a few offensive and defensive moves with a short stick, Chu Qianqian let him practice by himself, checked the time, and then asked him to attack him with all his strength after half an hour.

As Norton continued to fight, he suddenly realized that the best way to progress was to actually fight with others.

And I don't have to think about whether I will hit the master, and I don't have to worry about whether the master will make a mistake and hurt me.

While envious of Chu Xiangqian's skill in his heart, he secretly thought that it would be great if he could live in Hong Kong Island all the time.

After more than an hour, Chu moved forward and slapped Norton's hand away, grabbed Norton's collar with one hand, and threw him two meters away.

He smiled and said, "Okay, now that I've practiced here today, I'll take you to wash up, change into a suit of clothes, and take you to eat tiger meat at noon."

Norton, who was lying on the ground, was stunned for a moment. He felt weak because he had practiced for more than an hour, but he immediately regained his energy.

He got up with a smile, told Ward to go to the car to get the clothes he had prepared, and he quickly went to the bathroom.

Half an hour later, Chu Xiangqian also changed into a suit, and took Norton and Ward to drive his own car with backbone.

During this period, Norton said unintentionally, "Master, can the short stick moves you taught me be used with a cane?"

Chu Qianqian thought for a while and nodded. The English liked to pretend to be gentlemen with a cane. It was indeed normal for Norton to have this idea.

But after nodding, he slapped his head fiercely, why didn't he think of the telescopic stick, that is, the swing stick?
The world's first telescopic stick was invented by the Germans in the 40s.

But the stick is not so much a throwing stick as it is a pogo stick.

The bottom is spring-loaded, and a section pops up when the button is pressed when in use.

But just thinking about this thing, it is not only flawed in design, but also has many parts, which means it is easy to break down.

So that after World War II, during the 60 years of the 20s and [-]s, telescopic sticks basically disappeared.

The real swinging stick didn't take shape until the 80s.

If he specializes in the production of this thing, the official order alone is enough to make the factory work harder for many years.

Now comes the problem, patents.

Although even with a patent, it cannot prevent other countries and many factories from copying.

But with a patent, at least for official purchases, you have to pay yourself a patent fee.

Secretly thought that this matter should be discussed with Huang Weixin, a barrister.

At noon, he had a meal with Lard Boy, Xiashan Bao, and Hong Xing Jiang. Chu Xiangqian's discussion with the three of them went smoothly.

Anyway, it's impossible for me, and I have no reason to stop others from making movies, so it's better to lead all these people into the big pit of movies.

Whether they earn or lose has nothing to do with them, as long as they play the movie in their own theaters, they can earn the booking fee themselves.

Moreover, during the meal, Chu Xiangqian repeatedly said that if the plot in the movie was too excessive or the scale was too large, he would definitely cut it out.

Or let them take it to other cinemas.

The three of Lard Boy also knew that for a movie to be screened publicly, one must be concerned about the feelings of the media and the audience.

The kind of really outrageous movies, they themselves will take it to the open-air theater.

Moreover, not to mention DVD at this time, even the video recorder was invented less than 4 years ago. Not only are video tapes dead expensive, but video recorders are far from popularized.

So just for the box office and more audiences to watch, Lard Boy and others dare not go too far.

After sending Xia Shanbao and Hong Xing Jiang away, Chu Xiangqian took Lard Boy to another box.

Norton and Ward, who were full after eating again, immediately became interested when they heard that Chu Xiangqiang would be watching the filming of the movie on the set in the afternoon.

Chu Xiangqian brought Lard Boy here, the purpose was to let him see how flattering Norton, the little bastard from England, was in front of him.

After an afternoon of experience on the set, Zhu Youzai and Chu Xiangqian separated, and immediately ran to Lei Luo's house.

Chu Xiangqian took Norton, Ward, the director, cameraman, Guo Zhenhua, Hong Sanbao, Aji, Sanjiang Shui and others to see the rough edited plot that had been developed after several days of shooting.

He smiled and asked Norton, "How do you feel?"

Norton nodded hurriedly, "Master, I think if this movie is released in England, the box office will not be low. At least young people like me will like it very much.

Only language is an issue. "

"It's easy to handle." Although there are not many English-speaking people on Hong Kong Island, they are by no means small.

Moreover, in the real world, Uncle Long's movies have been translated into English since the late 70s, and then made into video tapes and distributed abroad.

The effect is also surprisingly good.

Otherwise, Uncle Long would not have dared to call out a salary of 80 million in the early 200s.

If it were just the local box office in Hong Kong Island, the investors would not earn as much as Uncle Long.

But who let him have markets in island countries and Southeast Asia on the one hand, and on video tapes, and the sales data is also very impressive.

This made him dare to call out sky-high remuneration, and at the same time dare to be the first to make a movie with 1 million Hong Kong dollars.

The director, leading actor and others on the side were all excited after being translated by an English-speaking person.

As long as it is translated into English, not to mention being released in Europe and the United States, but just sent to Ah San, the box office may reach 200 to [-] million.

On Hong Kong Island at this time, although there are movies with a box office of over one million, there are not many in a year.

If the box office is a hit everywhere, the entire crew will benefit.

It was about their own jobs and futures. During the subsequent filming, all the crew members were as if they had been given blood.

Chu Xiangqian took Norton to dinner at a restaurant with Nanyue characteristics in the evening, and Norton also said for the first time that he wanted to stay on Hong Kong Island.

Ward was so frightened that he almost lost his temper, but Chu Xiangqian smiled and said, "It's just like that after staying for a long time. It's better to go to school in England and come over to play for a while after the holidays.

This will not delay your studies, reunite with your relatives, and maintain more curiosity and fun of exploration. "

When Norton thought about it, it seemed that this was really the case, and he hurriedly said with a smile, "Master, can I go to the set more often these days?"

Chu shrugged forward and secretly thought that if Norton liked it, he could ask him to help introduce a few movie theater owners. It would be much easier for "Snake" to be distributed in England.

It will be easier to wait for the first film to open up the market and release it in the future.

Even give it to him for distribution for free.

As long as kung fu movies open up the European and American markets, the kung fu movies made in the future will not be afraid that the filmmakers will not find them.

After sending Norton and Ward back to the hotel, after Chu Xiangqian returned home, he immediately began to draw the blueprints for swinging sticks.

Then I called Mr. Huang Weixin and made an appointment to meet at the law firm tomorrow.

Only then did he have the time to focus on the Novice Village.

Entered Novice Village, rode on the red rabbit, carried a gun and wiped out all the wild monsters that were spawned last night.

This time, because of the antiques brought by the Mountbatten family, after the aperture expanded by 48.5 meters, not only the refresh points of wild boars, blind bears and horses were revealed.

At the horse's refresh point in the south, there is actually a long fence in the south.

This was the first outdoor building outside Novice Village. Chu Xiangqian's first thought was that it would be great if this was a stable.

For the 3 horses refreshed in the future, I don't have to keep the horses refreshed yesterday from killing, which will affect the refreshment of the next day, and thus earn less experience.

Of course, if it was a horse with no economic value such as a pony or a Mongolian horse, Chu Xiangqian would still kill it.

But if there are Arabian horses, sweat-blooded horses, and thoroughbred horses, they should be kept in the stables first, so that they don’t have to be brought into reality twice in three days and transported to the racecourse.

It's a pity that the aperture only reveals a long section of the fence. If you want to show it all day long, you need to get more antiques and store them in the warehouse of Xinshou Village.

Chu Xiangqian was not in a hurry. Anyway, the real racecourse had not even started construction, and even the land had not been obtained yet.

Use a lock to bring one of the 3 horses refreshed today, a black Arabian horse, back to Xinshou Village for stocking.

The other two are naturally killed to earn experience.

Then he rode a red rabbit to the south of Xinshou Village. There were 5 coconut trees and two durians on Hexin Road. Chu Xiangqian was not in the mood for fruit business yet.

And there are only 15 coconut trees and 3 durian trees, which is not enough to collect in a month.

It's better to save it until the end of the year and sell it in a unified way.

Attention was quickly drawn to the big fish constantly jumping out of the water in the river.

Previously, the fish caught every day was 4 catties. After the aperture was expanded by 48.5 meters this time, just by visual inspection, Chu Xiangqian knew that the number of fish refreshed every day probably increased by another [-] to [-] catties.

Sure enough, after swiping all the fish, 800 catties appeared in the personal space.

2.4 per month is equal to 1.2 kilograms, which is equal to 12 tons.

All of them are made into dried fish, at least 2 catties.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that there are not many.

At most, it is equivalent to the catch of a medium-sized fishing boat going out to sea.

But if only net income is counted, these fish without cost may be worth the profit of five medium-sized fishing boats.

Chu Xiangqian carefully calculated that the 8 cents per catty here in Hong Kong is actually only 1.92 yuan a month.

The mud horse is only 23 a year, but when you think about it carefully, the net profit of some medium-sized companies on Hong Kong Island may not be 20 a year.

Then Chu Qianqian looked towards the woods to the north.

The woods to the north of the village now look a bit like a forest.

Chu Qianqian carefully checked in the woods and finally determined that there were 10 chestnut trees, producing 100 kilograms of chestnuts in one day.

There are 10 jujube trees, 10 pear trees, 10 cherries, and 10 peach trees. What surprises Chu Xiangqian the most is that there are actually 10 breadfruit trees unique to Southeast Asia.

The fruit starch content of this thing is very rich.

When eating, you only need to bake, steam, or fry it, and the taste will be similar to bread or potatoes.

Moreover, a bread tree can bear 200 fruits a year, which is the fruit tree with the highest yield among all edible plants.

Chu Xiangqian looked at the ten 10-meter-long trees covered with breadfruit, and after getting excited, he used a harvesting technique on the fruit trees.

In an instant, 50 fruits weighing about five to six kilograms and the size of a volleyball appeared in the storage compartment.

After collecting all the remaining 9 trees and getting a total of 500 fruits, I hurriedly left the woods and rode the red rabbit back to Novice Village.
