Chapter 3: Earthworm Meat Jerky, Martial Arts Performance

Every three months, the servants of Changlong Escort Agency would hold a martial arts performance to test their martial arts progress, which Zhao Ya naturally knew.

The martial arts performances that can be performed are basically presided over by the escorts. Sometimes, when the escorts are out on the escort mission, the more experienced porters will judge.

It has never happened before that the chief escort personally watched the performance.

Zhao Ya thought about it and nodded, "Okay, I'll tell him."

The servant left.

Zhao Ya thought about this while sorting the goods.

As the chief escort of Changlong Escort Agency, Meng Lei is busy with all kinds of affairs, but he will never be bored to watch the martial arts performances of the servants.

Combined with the last sentence, the best will be rewarded and the worst will be punished.

Zhao Ya was thoughtful.

The operating mode of Changlong Escort Agency, or the escort agencies in Wuxiang City, is actually similar.

Except for a small number of escorts and porters who are the backbone of the force who are hired from outside, the rest are basically trained by themselves.

From this point of view, the escort agencies such as Changlong are actually more like martial arts schools.

The advantage of doing this is that the escorts or porters trained are extremely loyal to the escort agency.

But the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, it is too slow and uncontrollable.

After all, not everyone is suitable for martial arts training.

It is often too common for people you have invested a lot of resources to train to get stuck at a certain pass and make no progress.

So the quality of menial work is crucial.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ya slowly exhaled.

He was not thinking that he would shine at the martial arts performance at that time, so as to be appreciated by the chief escort and rise to the top in one step.

That would also go against Zhao Ya's purpose of low-key development.

But if he could 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.

Qiaotou Er Hun Pu.

Tan Dong stared at Zhao Ya, who had eaten twenty meat patties and was still chewing them in big mouthfuls.

In an instant, the five meat patties on the table went into Zhao Ya's stomach again.

Then Zhao Ya drank a mouthful of hot soup and burped.

"Are you full?" Tan Dong asked cautiously.

"Well, that's it."

In fact, Zhao Ya could still eat more, after all, the meat patties were crushed and absorbed by the powerful stomach as soon as they entered his stomach.

But Zhao Ya felt that it would be a bit shocking if he ate any more, so he stopped.

Tan Dong breathed a sigh of relief and asked after calculating the meal money.

"Old Zhao, you just said you have something important to tell me, what is it?"

"Oh, nothing, just about martial arts performance."

Then Zhao Ya said the matter lightly, and Tan Dong couldn't sit still.

"What? The chief escort is in person? There are rewards and punishments? It's over, it's over, I will definitely not pass it, what can I do!"

Tan Dong knew his strength too well.

He practiced the Five Tiger Fists on the bellies of the women in the brothel.

Suddenly.

He seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Zhao Ya eagerly.

"Brother Zhao, you are my brother, you have to help me."

"Help? How? Go and beg for you? Stop it, you know I have only been in the escort agency for more than a month." Zhao Ya said.

"That's not what I meant. Haven't you been practicing boxing during this period? You must be better than me, so can you take advantage of these few days to make up for me?"

"Make up for me?" Zhao Ya looked at Tan Dong, "Do you mean to let me train you?"

Tan Dong nodded like pounding garlic, "Yes, yes, the more fierce the better, as long as I can pass the martial arts performance in five days, I can do anything."

Looking at Tan Dong with a pleading face, Zhao Ya felt a little funny in his heart.

Why is this guy so much like those students who cram before the big exams in the previous life.

"But I don't have time..."

"As long as Brother Zhao agrees, I will cover all the meals for these few days."

"Actually, as for time, there is always time to squeeze in."

After the afternoon shift, the martial arts performance field of Changlong Escort Agency.

"Practice first, I'll see what level you are at." Zhao Ya said.

Tan Dong started practicing as he was told, but Zhao Ya stopped him after just a few moves.

Zhao Ya frowned and said, "Are you practicing the Five Tigers Fist?"

"Of course, what else could it be?"

"But you even got the starting position wrong with the Five Tigers Fist. Forget it, I'll show you one more time."

After saying that, Zhao Ya stood up straight, calmed down, and suddenly stepped forward to hug his hands, then stepped forward with his left leg, and punched straight with his right fist...

Zhao Ya practiced methodically.

It has been more than a month since he learned the Five Tigers Fist. Zhao Ya practices diligently every day without slacking off.

So although this set of Five Tigers Fist is not very exquisite, it is also vigorous and neat.

Snap.

After practicing the last move, Zhao Ya put his feet together, pressed down with his empty palms, and his breath was steady without any disorder.

[Five Tiger Fist Proficiency Increased by 1]

A line of prompts appeared, Zhao Ya felt that his understanding of the Five Tiger Fist had deepened a little, and he was very satisfied with it, and turned to look at Tan Dong.

"Do you understand?"

Tan Dong couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"Brother Zhao, your boxing is really like this, I think it's even better than some of the boxers."

Zhao Ya glared, "Stop talking nonsense, start practicing from your starting position."

This practice lasted for an hour, until it was completely dark, 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 it was.

"Here, you try a piece first."

Zhao Ya picked up a piece and looked at it for a moment, and felt 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 in the stomach, it turned into a stream of heat and was completely absorbed by the intestines and stomach. Then Zhao Ya felt refreshed, and even the qi 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."
