Chapter 180 Ip Man
"Brother Wen, I didn't say it. Hong Kong Island is in chaos now. If you want to do business, it's hard to do without a background."

Although Jiang Zhen was just a coolie and didn't have much knowledge, but precisely because he was a coolie, the people he came into contact with were all from different schools of thought, and he had a certain understanding of some famous families and societies on Hong Kong Island.

After hearing Jiang Zhen's words, He Yuzhu frowned. He knew that it was not easy to do business on Hong Kong Island.

After all, this is not the Forty-Nine City, but Hong Kong Island is different. Not one of the famous families, foreign compradors, and detective clubs is a small role.

Moreover, these people like to form cliques and set up various fellow villagers' associations. If they are not their own people, they are easily excluded.

While chatting, Liang Huifang brought the last dish, and said a little embarrassedly: "Mr. He, I'm sorry, I didn't know that Ah Zhen brought you here before, and the family didn't prepare it in advance."

He Yuzhu shook his head with a smile and said, "Mrs. Jiang was just joking. There are so many dishes, why is there no good food?"

After a while, the two chatted for a while, thinking that they had to go to the rooftop first, and after telling Jiang Zhen to go upstairs to find Daoist Chen, they said goodbye and went out.

"Yu Zhu, if you want to do business on Hong Kong Island, I can help you contact Master Ding. He is from Kowloon Walled City, and everyone outside sells his three-point noodles."

"Alright Ah Zhen." He Yuzhu smiled, waved goodbye, then turned and went straight to the roof.

……

The roof terrace.In a shed made of wood, a middle-aged man in his 40s was sitting. He had a crew cut and a long gown. I knew he was a trainer.

Coupled with his elegant figure, he has the demeanor of a master.

Looking at the wife in front of him, Ye Wen smiled and said, "Yongcheng, there's no need to bring food, I'll just go back and eat later."

"It's okay, it's just a matter of going upstairs." Zhang Yongcheng shook his head, opened the lunch box, and took out a bowl of rice and a plate of side dishes.

Looking at the cabbage on the plate, Ye Man shook his head. It has been several years since he came to Hong Kong Island, and the business of the martial arts school has not improved.The wife and son who have been involved are also dehydrated every day.

Seeing his wife's face getting thinner, Ye Wen gritted his teeth and decided to go out to find a job tomorrow, teach students in the afternoon and evening, and do odd jobs during the day.

Immediately, Ye Wen picked up the chopsticks and began to chew and eat slowly.Zhang Yongcheng poured a glass of water for his husband, put it on the side of the table, and watched him eat quietly.

After a while, seeing that her husband had almost finished eating, she said helplessly, "Today the landlady came to see me..."

Hearing this, Ye Wen was taken aback.

"I didn't open the door." Zhang Yongcheng lowered his head.

"Alas..." Ye Wen had a look of embarrassment, he naturally understood what his wife meant by these words.

It was nothing more than the landlady's wife came to press the rent, but Zhang Yongcheng dared not open the door.Thinking of how Ip Man lived most of his life, and now that his wife dared not open the door at home because of the landlady's wife demanding rent, he felt sad for a while.Inexplicably feel a little bleak.

"Zhun'er's school will start again next month. Last year's tuition fees are still in arrears, and they must be paid this year..."

"I see. In the past two days, I will discuss tuition fees with my apprentices."

A trace of tiredness flashed in Ye Wen's eyes. Many of the apprentices he taught were doing hard work. He knew that it was not easy for these people to make money. In addition, as a teacher, Ye Wen seldom urged for tuition fees.

It's just that now the family can't even pay the rent, and the son doesn't even have the money to study, Ye Wen feels that it's impossible not to lose face.

"Excuse me, is Master Ye at home?"

Suddenly, at the entrance of the rooftop, a young man in his 20s wearing a suit came out with this suitcase.

Seeing someone coming up to look for him, Ye Wen was overjoyed. He thought it was another apprentice, so he quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, strode out of the small shed, and said, "I am Ye Wen, are you here to apprentice?"

"Apprenticeship? No, I'm not here to apprentice." He Yuzhu glanced at the middle-aged man who walked out, who looked a bit like Universe Pill, and he was sure that this was the movie.

With the help of the light outside, he could clearly see the appearance of the person coming, as well as the suit on his body, and the other party said that he was not here to apprentice, Ye Wen frowned, and asked: "Then I don't know why this gentleman is looking for Ye? "

"Hello, Master Ye, my humble He Yuzhu, who came from the mainland, heard about Master Ye's deeds in Foshan in the early years, and came here today to pay a special visit."

With that said, He Yuzhu shook the two boxes of pastries prepared in advance in his hand.

"From the Mainland?" Knowing that he is from the Mainland and has heard of himself, Ye Wen also said enthusiastically: "It turns out that it is Mr. He. I have admired him for a long time. Please invite me inside!"

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Master Ye." He Yuzhu smiled, and followed Ye Wen into this house that was worse than the remodeled houses of later generations.

When I entered the house, I saw a middle-aged woman packing things at the table.

"Yongcheng, go and help pour two cups of tea." After Ye Wen finished speaking, he turned to He Yuzhu and said, "Mr. He, this is my wife Zhang Yongcheng."

Seeing Zhang Yongcheng's cold face, which seemed to be unhappy, He Yuzhu was a little puzzled, but then he thought about the plot in the movie, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Ye, hello, it's a shame to bother you at such a late hour. I'm sorry. These are two boxes of pastries I brought from Forty-Nine City, they taste good, try them. "

"This...thank you." Zhang Yongben was not happy when someone came to see Ye Wen, but seeing that the other party took out a gift as soon as he entered the door, he took it embarrassedly.

This is not Zhang Yongcheng's fault, the main reason is that after Ye Wen came to Hong Kong Island, people who heard about his deeds in Foshan often came to him.

And Ye Wen was also a wealthy family in his early years, so he naturally treated these people with courtesy, caring about food and drink.

The families who were not rich at first became poorer and poorer, and now they can't even pay the rent and tuition fees.

Every day, the family only eats two meals, lunch and dinner, in order to save a little food.

Seeing his wife went to pour water, Ye Wen asked He Yuzhu to sit down, and said curiously: "Judging from your accent, you don't seem to be from Foshan?"

He Yuzhu said: "I am from Sijiucheng, but my ancestral home is in Huizhou."

"Then I don't know why Mr. came to Hong Kong Island this time?"

"To be honest, I came to Hong Kong Island this time mainly to do some small business. I just heard that Master Ye is here, so I came here without warning, and I took the liberty of disturbing you."

Hearing this, Ye Wen was very happy. After all, the master also likes to hear the good and the bad, so he said with a smile: "Sir, I was joking. You can come, I am too happy to be in time."

The two were chatting, and Zhang Yongcheng also made two cups of tea over there.After bringing the teacup to He Yuzhu, she walked to the back with an embarrassed expression.

Ye Wen picked up the teacup and drank it. After noticing that there was no tea in the teacup, he also remembered that there were not many tea leaves in the house, but it should be enough to make a cup for He Yuzhu.

When Ye Wen put down his cup and saw that He Yuzhu didn't drink tea, he also said: "Sir, please drink tea. This tea was brought to me by a friend of mine from Baodao. Although it is not a famous tea, it is fragrant and fragrant, and tastes very good. Not bad."

Hearing this, Zhang Yongcheng's complexion changed, and he clenched his hands tightly.
