Chapter 3 Dried Earthworm Meat: The Period of Martial Arts Performance
Every three months, the servants of Changlong Escort will hold a martial arts performance to test their martial arts progress. Zhao Ya naturally knows this.
The martial arts performances you can go to are basically conducted by various escorts. Sometimes the escorts have gone out to practice escorts, and they will even be judged by more experienced escorts.
There has never been a situation like this where the chief escort personally watched.
Zhao Ya's mind turned and he nodded and said: "Okay, I will tell him."
The handyman left.
Zhao Ya was thinking about this while sorting out the goods.
As the chief escort of Changlong Escort Bureau, Meng Lei has a lot to do every day, but he will never be bored to watch a group of servants performing martial arts.
Combined with the last sentence, the superior ones are rewarded and the inferior ones are punished.
Zhao Ya was thoughtful.
The operation modes of the Changlong Escort Bureau, or the Wuxiang City Escort Bureau, are actually similar.
Except for a small number of escorts and backbone escorts who are hired from outside, the rest are basically trained by themselves.
From this point of view, Changlong and other escort agencies are actually more like a martial arts gym.
The advantage of this is that the trained escorts or escorts will be extremely loyal to the escort agency.
But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it is too slow and uncontrollable.
After all, not everyone is suitable for practicing martial arts.
Often you invest a lot of resources in training people, but in the end they get stuck at a certain hurdle and cannot make any progress. This is simply too common.
Therefore, the quality of handymen is crucial.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ya slowly let out a breath.
He didn't think that he would shine in the martial arts competition and be appreciated by the chief escort, so that he could reach the sky in one step.
That also goes against Zhao Ya's purpose of keeping a low profile.
But if he can perform well in this martial arts performance, it should be helpful to his current predicament.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ya secretly made up his mind.
noon.
The second meat shop at Qiaotou.
Tan Dong gaped at Zhao Ya, who had already eaten twenty meatloaf and was still chewing.
In an instant, the five meat patties on the table entered Zhao Ya's stomach again.
Then Zhao Ya took a sip of hot soup and burped.
"Are you full?" Tan Dong asked cautiously.
"Well, that's it."
In fact, Zhao Ya could continue to eat it, after all, the meat cake was crushed and absorbed by his strong intestines as soon as he swallowed it.
But Zhao Ya felt that eating any more would be a bit shocking, so he stopped in moderation.
Tan Dong breathed a sigh of relief and asked after calculating the money for the meal.
"Old Zhao, you just said you have something important to tell me. What is it?"
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just about martial arts."
Then Zhao Ya talked about the matter in an understatement, and now Tan Dong couldn't sit still.
"What? The chief escort is in charge personally? Are there still rewards and punishments? It's over, it's over now, I will definitely not be able to pass by then, what should I do!"
Tan Dong is very aware of his own strength.
He practiced all the five tiger fists until he hooked the bellies of those women.
Suddenly.
He seemed to have thought of something and looked at Zhao Ya with an earnest look on his face.
"Brother Zhao, you are my brother, you have to help me."
"Help? How to help? Go and plead with you? Stop making trouble, you know, I have only been in the escort agency for more than a month." Zhao Ya said.
"That's not what you meant. Haven't you been practicing boxing during this time? You must be better than me, so can you take advantage of these few days to give me some extra lessons?"
"Make up lessons?" Zhao Ya looked at Tan Dong, "You mean to let me train you?"
Tan Dong nodded like a fool, "Yes, yes, the harsher the better. As long as I can pass the martial arts performance in five days, I can do whatever I want."
Looking at Tan Dong with a pleading face, Zhao Ya felt a little funny.
Why is this guy so like those students in previous lives who crammed before the big exam?
"But at this time..."
"As long as Brother Zhao agrees, I will pay for all the food for these days."
"Actually, there's always time to squeeze in."
After the afternoon break, the Changlong Escort Bureau performed martial arts.
"You practice first, and I'll see what level you are at." Zhao Ya said.
Tan Dong responded and started practicing, but Zhao Ya stopped him after just a few moves.
Zhao Ya frowned and said, "Are you practicing Five Tiger Fist?"
"Of course, what else could it be?"
"But you didn't even start the Five Tiger Fist correctly. Forget it, I'll practice it for you."
After saying that, Zhao Ya stood up straight, calmly, stepped forward and hugged his hands, then lunged forward with his left leg and punched straight...
Zhao Ya started practicing carefully.
It has been more than a month since he learned the Five Tiger Fists. Zhao Ya practices diligently every day and never slacks off.
Therefore, although this set of Five Tiger Boxing is not very sophisticated, it is still vigorous and crisp.
Snapped.
After finishing the last movement, Zhao Ya put his feet together and pressed down with his empty palms. His breathing was steady and there was no disorder at all.
[Five Tiger Fist proficiency plus 1]
A line of prompts appeared, and Zhao Ya felt that his understanding of Five Tiger Fist had deepened a little. He was very satisfied with this and turned to look at Tan Dong.
"Do you understand?"
Tan Dong couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Brother Zhao, your boxing skills are indeed like this. I think they are even better than some boxing fighters."
Zhao Ya glared, "Stop talking nonsense and start practicing from your starting position."
This practice lasted for an hour, and it was not until it was completely dark that Zhao Ya and Tan Dong walked out of the escort agency.
"Let's go, Brother Zhao, let's go home and eat."
"Eat at home?"
"That's right, don't worry. You won't be able to buy the food you eat this time. It's really good food." Tan Dong said mysteriously.
This is Zhao Ya's first time to visit Tan Dong's home. Compared with his own home in a slum area, Tan Dong's home is much more luxurious.
A large courtyard with three floors inside and outside, east and west wing rooms, concierge, etc. are all available.
It's just that there is no one else in this huge house except for a few rough ladies.
"My father and my brother don't usually live here at all. I'm the only one at home."
Tan Dong explained, and then led Zhao Ya to the kitchen. After a while, he brought out a small box.
Inside the box were some long strips of dried meat. The dried meat was dark in color and it was hard to tell what kind of animal meat it was.
"Here, you try a piece first."
Zhao Ya picked up a piece and looked at it for a moment, only to feel a faint aroma coming straight to his nostrils.
At the same time, his stomach and intestines began to wriggle, as if he was extremely coveted for this dried meat.
Zhao Ya put it in his mouth, and after chewing it for a while, he felt that the dried meat melted like ice and snow, and flowed into his stomach in an instant.
boom.
As soon as the dried meat was eaten, it turned into a stream of heat and was completely absorbed by the intestines and stomach. Then Zhao Ya felt refreshed, and even the energy and blood in his body became stronger.
Zhao Ya looked surprised.
Just such a small piece of dried meat can at least equal the nutrition of five pounds of bacon.
Tan Dong chuckled upon seeing this, "How's it going? You're surprised, this is a really good thing and it's of great benefit to us martial arts practitioners."
"What kind of animal meat is this?" Zhao Ya asked.
"This is the dried meat of a different kind of earthworm cultivated using a secret method. It contains rich blood and energy, which can replenish vitality and enhance blood."
With that said, Tan Dong handed the box to Zhao Ya.
"gave it to you."
