Chapter 60
Fu Wenhe, who wanted to learn the "Catching the Tiger into the Sea", was finally forced by Fu Wenyu to practice chopping, stabbing, blocking, and blocking with a bamboo sword. These basic movements were summarized by him referring to the "Tai Chi Sword" sword moves taught by the physical education teacher in his previous life, as well as some classic shots in TV dramas.
In summary, there are a total of twelve words, namely "Chopping, Slicing, Sweeping", "Pointing, Stabbing, Blocking, Cutting" and "Picking, Shaking, Sliding and Blocking".
After the two of them have learned these basics, they can then teach them "moves". Fu Wenyu has also thought of the specific moves, referring to the "Tai Chi Thirteen Swords" he has learned. I don't know how powerful it is, but it is still quite pleasing to the eye when performing.
Fu Wenshu and Fu Wenhe are willing to come to help him. They practiced the moves that may seem silly to outsiders over and over again in the hot weather. Fu Wenyu did not treat them badly and promised to pay them thirty coins a day.
For this reason, the two felt that they were given too much, thinking that the spring plowing was over now, and they were idle at home anyway, so they didn't need so much.
Fu Wenyu didn't think it was too much.
You should know that after the spring, Li's silk and satin shop received a steady stream of orders.
Especially before, Li Xin led several embroiderers to celebrate the birthday of an old lady in Jiangzhou, and made ninety-nine pots of simulated chrysanthemums, including famous chrysanthemums. This made a big leap in the velvet flower business. Now they can not only make some velvet flowers that can be worn on the head, but also develop a market for simulated flowers.
So the business volume has been greatly improved. Even though there are other velvet flowers on the market now, Li's silk and satin shop still occupies a large market share with its outstanding color matching, excellent quality, and relatively low cost. When merchants from other places come, they first look for Li's silk and satin shop.
According to Fu Wenyu's observation, Li Xin and those embroiderers have been able to make flowers that are difficult to distinguish between true and false by matching the depth of silk threads and using the help of ancient simple irons.
Now Li's silk and satin shop is responsible for the production of simulated flowers, flower crowns, and more complex velvet flower accessories, while the simpler small flowers have been transferred to Fu's family. Because of this, the monthly salary of the sisters who worked in the Fu family before has increased to 500 wen. Among them, the clever ones, such as Fu Xinhe, who learned to make velvet flowers from Zhou and Fu Rong, can now get nearly one tael of silver every month.
Zhou and Fu Rong can get dozens of taels every month, or even more than one hundred taels.
In other words, their family's current savings have exceeded 1,000 taels and are slowly moving towards 2,000 taels. Relying on these savings and the family's land, their family has undoubtedly become one of the richest families in the village. Fortunately, the family is not fond of showing off, and no one has discovered that their family has so much money.
So is 900 wen a month a lot?
Not much.
Fu Wenshu and Fu Wenhe, who couldn't beat Fu Wenyu, had to focus more on martial arts training. In a few days, they mastered the basic movements and began to learn sword moves.
Bow step straight stab, empty step horizontal chop...
Parallel step straight stab, bow step horizontal chop...
Turn around and chop...
The three people practiced in the front yard of the Fu family. This was not because Fu Wenyu wanted to keep it secret and didn't want to be seen, but because the ground in the countryside was uneven and dusty. This set of "Thirteen Yunxiao Styles" adapted by Fu Wenyu also had the action of falling to the ground and getting up again, so for the sake of their clothes, they arranged it at home.
Then within two days, the girls led by Fu Rong went from lying behind the second door to secretly watching, to sitting in a row in the corridor, drinking milk tea while watching openly.
"Brother, this Yunxiao Thirteen Styles is really beautiful!"
"Brother Wenyu dances the best."
"Brother Wenshu is so majestic."
"Brother Wenhe's foot is wrong, wrong again, you should use your left foot!"
"Wrong, wrong!"
Fu Wenhe, who was upset by the repeated shouts of "wrong", became angry and said, "Go away quickly, don't disturb us practicing martial arts. If you are lazy again, be careful that Aunt Qingshan will not want you anymore."
Fu Wenhe's cousin stuck out her tongue at him, "No way!"
After a few days, the three of them had practiced well, so Fu Wenyu brought the two brothers directly to Zhang, the shopkeeper, and demonstrated it to him.
Shopkeeper Zhang and Zhang Er were stunned.
"This, this..."
"Is this the Yunxiao Sword Art?!"
Shopkeeper Zhang stood up in shock halfway through the sword moves, and when the three stopped, he was so excited that he was incoherent.
"Wenyu, this, this is the 'Thirteen Yunxiao Styles' you mentioned?!"
If he hadn't known Fu Wenyu's father Fu Qingshan for many years and had a good understanding of the Fu family, he would have thought that the Fu family was a family of Jianghu as written in the storybook of "Rebirth of the Treasure Map". Otherwise, how could Fu Wenyu really come up with a set of swordsmanship in just a few days?
Zhang Er's ideas were more direct.
As soon as the three of them stopped, he immediately came up, "Wenyu, Wenyu, is this the set of swordsmanship in Zhao Yunfei's family? Is it the Yunxiao Sword Art, the Thirteen Yunxiao Styles?"
"Wenyu, please teach me too."
"I'm not afraid of hardship!"
"I want to learn too!"
Fu Wenyu had no choice but to hand over the bamboo sword in his hand, "You ask them both, they have already learned it, I will discuss something with Uncle Zhang first."
Zhang Er carefully took the bamboo sword and said in surprise: "Is this the Chongyun Sword?"
"It's really extraordinary!"
Fu Wenyu: "..."
In fact, it is just a very ordinary bamboo sword. It has no other advantages except that it is polished very smooth and has no burrs at all. Not to mention that these bamboo swords made by the clan uncle are missing the words "cloud pattern" and "Chongyun" in the description in the storybook, so they cannot be regarded as "Chongyun Sword".
But Zhang Er didn't care about this. He carefully held the bamboo sword and said to Fu Wenshu and Fu Wenhe: "Wenshu, Wenhe, teach me quickly. I also want to learn the 'Thirteen Postures of Yunxiao'. I can memorize the mental techniques." "
The three of them had already become familiar with each other when Fu Wenyu set up the stall, so they quickly got together, one learned and the other taught, and Zhang Er's exclamations could be heard from time to time.
Fu Wenyu ignored them.
He walked up to Shopkeeper Zhang and said, "Uncle Zhang, what do you think of these sword moves?"
"I'm going to ask Mr. Murong to come and take a look and ask him to draw all the sword moves and put them in the hardcover wooden box as part of the 'Yunxiao Sword Technique'. In addition, I can add another one. The 'Chongyun Sword' is not very strong when made of bamboo, so I plan to make it out of wood and then carve some patterns on it."
Shopkeeper Zhang reluctantly withdrew his eyes from the other three, then patted Fu Wenyu on the shoulder, "Wen Yu, you are too humble. If I had known that you could come up with such a move, let alone a hundred If you have one, even two hundred sets can do a lot!”
After reading these sword moves, even he wanted to buy a set!
So the two of them carefully discussed the relevant details, and finally decided to prepare one hundred sets of hardcover editions and five thousand sets of ordinary editions. The hardcover version contains the 'Chongyun Sword' and the complete 'Yunxiao Sword Technique', that is, one copy each of the mental method and the 'Yunxiao Thirteen Styles', while the regular version also has a surprise, that is, each book only contains one move, and all of them are on the front Ten moves.
In other words, the last three moves of the 'Thirteen Movements of Yunxiao' described in the storybook, which are the most powerful and complex moves that Zhao Yunfei had not fully mastered when he left home, are only available in the hardcover version.
Anyone who wants to learn can only buy the hardcover version.
Moreover, in terms of the design of moves, Fu Wenyu also chose the most complex, fancy and beautiful among these three moves. It is guaranteed that most people will not be able to learn it without the step-by-step explanation of the drawings and no one to teach them.
As for other peripherals such as the 'Yunxiao Sword', 'Ben Lei Sword', 'Knife', 'Fan', 'Sword Spike', 'Yunxiao Ten Style Booklet' and other peripherals, Fu Wenyu came up with it, so he is also responsible for the design. He also presided over the development, so the agreed share was 46%, Kaiyuan Bookstore received 40%, and Fu Wenyu got 60%.
Neither party has an opinion on this outcome.
After the deed was signed, Shopkeeper Zhang continued the conversation, "Wen Yu, I just heard that you wanted to invite Mr. Murong to come and draw this set of sword moves. I wonder where you plan to entertain Mr. Murong?"
"Well, just like today, how about bringing it to Uncle Zhang?"
Fu Wenyu said sheepishly: "I am still observing filial piety at home, so it is not convenient to entertain guests. And these sword moves also need a relatively large place to move, and they will not be effective if they are too small."
"That's okay."
Shopkeeper Zhang smiled and said, "But I have a better idea."
"Wen Yu, since you have put so much effort into teaching them two, and these sword moves are so pleasing to the eye, is it too wasteful to only show them to Mr. Murong?"
"If you are interested, I will introduce you to him."
Shopkeeper Zhang said sincerely: "Whether they are theater troupes or teahouses, they must be interested. And in this way, more people will be interested in this set of 'Thirteen Styles of the Clouds'. And even if If only one person out of a hundred is willing to buy it, then we can make a lot of money.”
Fu Wenyu's eyes lit up.
This is a good idea. It can not only promote the storybook, but also increase some income. When he first went to the teahouse, he had learned that those who told stories and sang songs in the teahouse were paid. For example, Mr. Feng's income is not low. Fu Wenyu has seen several guests reward him when he speaks brilliantly.
But there's no rush. Firstly, the script hasn't reached its peak yet, and secondly, the performance by two people isn't shocking enough. If it really needs to be performed, it would require at least a dozen or twenty people. At that time, everyone will stab or withdraw their swords in accordance with the exciting music, and their movements will be uniform, which will be a wonderful scene.
So Fu Wenyu thanked shopkeeper Zhang and said he would think about it again.
Shopkeeper Zhang felt a little regretful, "Wen Yu, please think carefully about it. As for the hardcover edition, it should be done sooner rather than later. I will let the Liuzhou tabloid write down the reservation."
Fu Wenyu had no objection.
After discussing the matter, he said goodbye and left.
Because it was still early, the three of them did not eat in the city, but returned to Fujiacun. However, when saying goodbye to the two clan brothers, Fu Wenyu still mentioned in passing that he would discuss something with them tomorrow.
Leaving the two people with puzzled expressions behind, Fu Wenyu sat down at the desk. He planned to write a letter to Mr. Murong, inviting him to Liuzhou to watch the performance of the 'Thirteen Styles of Clouds' and discuss the illustrations.
Of course, this was the only time he played in person, and he would definitely not do so in the future.
