Chapter 10 Going to the Market

The season before mid-autumn is still characterized by long days and short nights, and the sun rises relatively early in the morning, at six o'clock.

Zhang Taiping got up early, opened the door to the backyard, and strolled into the orchard in the back valley. Breathing in the moist and fresh morning air into his lungs made his bones feel lighter.

First, he put on the starting position of Tai Chi and slowly moved his muscles for a while. To be honest, Zhang Taiping didn't like Tai Chi very much before. He always thought that Tai Chi was as slow as a snail and focused on defense and was not sharp in attack. He liked it.

Kung Fu that focuses on attack, sharpness, and strength, so I followed my grandfather to mainly learn Hong Quan, Baji Beng, and Beitan Kung Fu, which was once as famous as Nan Quan. If Tai Chi had not been the ancestral Kung Fu of the Zhang family, my grandfather forced me to learn it.

He didn't bother to touch it if it was too old.

There is no way of knowing whether the Zhang family's Tai Chi was passed down from Zhang Junbao. There is no genealogy or related records in the family. As for other kung fu, my grandfather was even more secretive and refused to reveal anything.

It’s understandable given Zhang Taiping’s previous distaste for Tai Chi. Zhang’s Tai Chi is different from the fitness moves on the market that everyone knows, but a style of Tai Chi Kung Fu that can truly integrate offense and defense. It’s not something that anyone can do just by looking at it.

To learn, it is necessary to understand the mystery of four or two moves of a thousand pounds, which requires extremely high talent and character. But now Zhang Taiping has a special liking for Tai Chi. After all, he has been a man in two lives, and his experience in the previous life has destined him to be quiet and active.

People. Moreover, the mentality of thirty years old in the previous life was as if it were fifty years old. The sharp edges and corners have long been worn away, and it has become mellow and peaceful, which is more conducive to the understanding and application of Tai Chi.

Although I like Tai Chi, it does not mean giving up other martial arts.

After the Tai Chi warms up, I take off my shirt and go bare-chested. Then I assume the Hong Fist stance. My fists are like the wind, and my masculinity goes with me. After the hand work is completed, it is time to do the leg work. The fist work focuses on the moment of strength.

He is good at bursts, but his leg skills lie in speed and dexterity. Of course, there are also powerful kicks, but Zhang Taiping is not good at it. His majestic and strong body flashes around the garden like a spiritual shaft, and his legs flash in the air like lightning.

, just listen to the squeaking sound of the trouser legs rubbing against the air.

After practicing the leg skills, I wiped the sweat from my forehead and climbed to the old locust tree at the top of the valley. I pressed my lower Dantian with both palms, took a deep breath to calm the Qi in my chest. I punched out with my right fist instantly, and the Qi flowed from the Dantian.

"Ha!" burst out, like a muffled thunder exploding out of thin air. His fist hit the tree, and the trunk that the two of them could hug shook unexpectedly, and some leaves fell down.

Zhang Taiping clenched his numb fists and was also surprised. Baji Beng is originally an instant power type. It is not so much a boxing technique as it is the secret of using strength. It is somewhat similar to Cun Jin in that it is a small-scale attack.

Extremely powerful boxing skills. Zhang Taiping knew that his body had been strengthened by the nourishment of the jade pendant, but he did not expect that it would be so powerful when combined with the Beng Fist.

Put away your thoughts and put your back against the tree trunk. Use your waist to twist slightly, and your back and shoulders bang, bang, bang against the tree trunk, and exhale with the sound of "Hi, Hi, Hi" on your mouth. Don't look at it.

This action is simple, but has great effects. It includes both the strength of the waist and abdomen and the technique of lifting the shoulders. The tree body will sway slightly with every move.

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

Zhang Taiping looked at the leaves scattered in a circle, looked around, and used his mind to take out a ball of spring water and pour it on the roots of the old locust tree. The effect was not as obvious as watering vegetables, but it was like a second spring, and the leaves were visible to the naked eye.

The speed is as green as spring.

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

When he arrived in the backyard, he happened to meet Cai Xiaomei coming out of the toilet. Zhang Taiping was about to talk to her, but Cai Xiaomei opened her eyes wide and cursed.

"shameless!"

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

Maybe the visual impact of Zhang Taiping's body was too strong, not to mention that he had just finished exercising and his masculinity was strong. Cai Xiaomei cursed out of nowhere, and even she felt confused after the curse. She turned around and ran into the house with a blushing face.

went.

Zhang Taiping looked down, shook his head, and didn't take it to heart. He walked across the yard to get a towel and went upstream along the river in front of his door.

When I came back from taking a shower, my wife had already prepared breakfast.

After breakfast, after hesitating for a long time, he finally called his wife to the door. There was no other way, a penny would stump the heroic man.

He opened his mouth and thought to himself that it would not be embarrassing for him to be a ball in front of his wife.

"I want to go to the Yin Town Market and give me some money."

After hearing this, his wife's face instantly turned pale. She looked up at the calm Zhang Taiping. After hesitating for a long time, she bit her lip and turned around to go into the house, gently closing the bedroom door.

Not long after, I came out with a wad of money. It was said to be a wad, but in fact there wasn't much. Three denominations of one hundred, two twenty's, and the rest were all ten yuan, a total of four hundred yuan. Three denominations of one hundred were still

Last night, Cai Xiaomei gave 300 of the remaining 500 to her sister. The small denominations were all accumulated by her wife from collecting mountain products.

After receiving the money, Zhang Taiping felt that the money was worth more than ten thousand gold. He wanted to explain something, but found that all words were pale.

Powerless. I sighed helplessly and could only prove it with actions.

I rinsed the 28 bicycle that had not been used for a long time from beginning to end, found a rag and wiped it clean, then put a snakeskin bag on the back seat. Then I got on the mount and set off along Shunhe Road.

The river flows out of the mountains. The source is unknown. The water is crystal clear. Occasionally, you can see fish passing by and crabs sunbathing on the rocks.

Although it is deep in the mountains, the road that leans against the mountain and follows the river 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, and it will not be muddy even on rainy days.

The road was opened in the 1990s in response to the slogan "If you want to get rich, build the road first." The whole village worked together to contribute money and funds. It has really brought a lot of convenience to the village over the years. At least there are trucks for collecting grain and fruit.

Being able to drive into the mountains makes it much more convenient for people to go out and sell mountain products, medicinal materials and the like, and their incomes have increased.

Zhang Taiping's home is in the southernmost part of the village, on a slightly higher ground. You can ride a bicycle and put it down in the sky. The uneven houses are scattered on both sides of the river, and the chic eaves with a retro feel are formed among the trees. Passing through it, you can see the delicate scenery of the transition between autumn and summer.

The wind caresses the face, as if walking in the center of a painting, and the elegant and peaceful rhythm can be seen everywhere.

After rushing out of the village and looking north, there were still mountains and mountains under the blue sky with a few cotton clouds floating in the sky. Zhang Taiping rode quickly, with the reflection in the river, and the more than ten miles passed quickly.

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

This village is called Fengyukou Village, with five to six hundred households. It is considered a famous large village in the area. Although it has not gone outside the mountains, it has a strong modern atmosphere. It is all brick-built buildings, with many two- and three-story buildings.

, there are "accommodation" and "farmhouse" signs in front of many doors. The ground is all cement, and neatly landscaped trees are planted on both sides of the road. From time to time, you can see cars parked under the trees.

Fengyukou Village is adjacent to the famous Taixing Mountain in southern Xi'an. Taixing Mountain was originally a holy place for men and women who worshiped in temple fairs. The mountain is more than 3,000 meters high and houses more than a hundred temples of various types.

From May to September every year, the incense is at its peak, and people come and go in an endless stream. In addition, the scenery is beautiful and unique. Although it is not as exaggerated as Huashan, it can still be associated with the word "dangerous", attracting a large number of city residents every year.

Visit and play.

Sheng Damin, the head of Fengyukou Village, is a capable and active person who is also willing to do practical things for the villagers. He keenly saw the business opportunities. So he applied for Taixing Mountain to be a landscape area, and the entrance to the mountain was

Set up at the entrance of the village, outsiders charge 20 yuan, and nearby residents charge 2 to 5 yuan. The annual input is not cheap. He also strongly encourages villagers to set up farmhouses, and his own home is the largest farmhouse in the village as a model.

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

Zhang Taiping thought about it. Nowadays, there are many high-rise buildings in the city, and people's living standards have improved. But the dirty air and fast pace make people feel physical or psychological discomfort in one way or another. After being busy at work, they will find ways to relax and unwind.

, the farmhouse that has developed rapidly in recent years has become the first choice for people who are tired of the urban environment and have never differentiated grains in their lives. They can not only stay away from all kinds of pollution, but also enjoy the infinite scenery of nature in the countryside; they can also relax their temperament.

Relieve stress and enjoy the leisurely and cozy farmhouse tunes.

The cement road is fast. It takes less than ten minutes to get from Fengyukou Village to the asphalt road around the mountain.

This kind of "28-year-old donkey" is rarely seen nowadays. Bikes are all variable-speed or road bikes, or simply motorcycles whizzing by. Zhang Taiping is already eye-catching with his tall and tall horse, and then he rides on a

The mounts from the 1980s attracted attention along the way.

Yinzhen is not far from Fengyukou, so we drove around the mountain road and arrived at around nine o'clock.

Yinzhen Cross is the most prosperous area of ​​Yinzhen. The market is centered on Yinzhen Cross and radiates four streets in all directions, three horizontal and one vertical, forming the character "Feng". The north and south vertical streets are the main streets, and there are many shops on both sides of the street.

It's only nine o'clock, but already there are a variety of stalls and people are shouting.

Zhang Taiping came from the south, and the first thing he entered was some fruit stall areas. Most of the fruit sellers in this area are occupied by locals for a short period of time. It is still far from the cross and is relatively remote compared to other areas. Even so,

Stalls also need to be reserved in advance the night before. Things must be set up before dawn in the morning, otherwise others will occupy them. Busy areas near the cross or specially opened squares have been rented out by the government. Stalls can be set up here

The products are sold daily by small-scale fruit farmers nearby, and the sellers are basically women and the elderly. Selling for sixty or seventy yuan a day is not bad, but it is really not worth having the mainstay of the family to live here for a day.

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

Apples and pears at this season are not yet ripe. The apples have just turned color, even green, but the core has already opened, and they taste not astringent but slightly sweet. The pears have just turned yellow.

, juicy when not ripe, but mixed with sour and sweet. Compared with when it is ripe, it is just watery and sweet, which is more popular with children. Fruit farmers pick it early, just to get a better price and more income.

.After all, fruits out of season are always very popular.

Peaches and grapes that have entered autumn are also considered rare commodities. Of course, this does not include the grapes in fruit stores. God knows how long these grapes have been stored. Just talking about fresh ones, these peaches and grapes are either new varieties or the fruit growers have slow fruits.
