Chapter 004 The Morning Begins with a Day
“Oooooh!”
It was less than six o'clock when Chen Cun was completely awakened by the crowing of roosters in the early morning. Chen Jue opened his eyes and felt sore all over. It should be because he hadn't exercised for a long time, and he started practicing boat boxing a little late last night.
However, after sleeping for more than 7 hours, I felt exceptionally alert, without any of the drowsy feeling I had at work before.
I subconsciously glanced at the attribute panel. I didn't expect that after a night, my physical fitness, which was only 1.05, had increased by 0.01 attribute points to 1.06 points without my noticing! The other attribute values did not change.
"what's the situation?"
"Sleeping can also increase attributes?" Chen Jue was a little confused. He went downstairs to wash up, opened his laptop and searched the Internet.
After reading the experiences shared by some fitness experts, I learned that this inexplicable improvement in physical attributes should be attributed to the fact that after strenuous exercise, the body will continuously consume calories and slowly improve physical fitness.
“So that’s how it is!”
"I was wondering how my physical attributes could be improved while I was sleeping. It should be related to the boat fist I practiced before going to bed." Chen Jue resolved the doubts in his mind, picked up his mobile phone, took out a few hundred-dollar bills to keep with him, pushed the door open and went out to find breakfast.
Because I worked in Hangzhou before, I developed a habit of not cooking, and most of my three meals a day were eaten out.
It's a little hard to adapt to returning to the countryside all of a sudden.
In such a big village like Chencun, there is not even a single breakfast shop!
Chen Jue had no choice but to walk along the cement road, thinking of it as exercise.
After walking for about 10 minutes, we finally arrived at Linjia Village, which is adjacent to Chen Village.
Linjia Village has a relatively large population, with more than a thousand households in total. The commercial atmosphere is also stronger than that of Chen Village, with a small vegetable market and small restaurants.
You can also see steaming breakfast shops on the roadside, where many villagers who are rushing to work in the city or suburban factories are sitting and eating breakfast.
Chen Jue took a look at the environment in the store, smelled the familiar old-fashioned flavor, and asked for a large bowl of glutinous rice and a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup.
Feeling a little unsatisfied, I ordered two more large meat buns.
Glutinous rice is a representative breakfast in Vancouver. A bowl of steamed glutinous rice, sprinkled with crushed fried dough sticks, poured with a spoonful of broth and some chopped green onions, is extremely delicious.
However, eating long-digesting glutinous rice early in the morning does consume some of the gastric power. If you are not a physical worker, I am afraid that eating a small bowl of it will take you half a day.
However, Chen Jue had practiced boat boxing for a long time last night, and his body was exhausted. In a short while, he finished all the food he ordered.
Touching his bulging belly, Chen Jue felt satisfied and at the same time, he thought that he should really lose weight.
He is 178cm tall, but weighs over 160 pounds. He has gained more than 20 pounds compared to when he just graduated from college!
This is also the result of sitting in the office for a long time, coupled with bad eating and living habits.
However, now that this attribute panel has been awakened, Chen Jue is confident that it will not be difficult to restore his body to its peak state, or even better than before!
…
I had breakfast for 9.5 yuan, a big meat bun for 1.5 yuan , a big bowl of glutinous rice for 5 yuan, and seaweed egg drop soup for 1.5 yuan.
This is for breakfast in the countryside. If you go to the county town, it will probably cost a few more dollars.
After all, prices in Vancouver are notoriously high, and everyone who sells breakfast is an invisible boss.
It’s just that selling breakfast is hard-earned money, so Chen Jue didn’t say much. He scanned the code and paid, then slowly passed through Linjia Village and came to the national highway two kilometers away.
“I walked at least 4 or 5 kilometers in one breath!”
"I walked this road many times when I was in school to go to high school in the county town. I didn't expect that after so many years, I would have the opportunity to revisit the old place." Chen Jue did not try to stop the fast-running bread on the side of the road.
After last night's experience, he deeply realized the importance of a healthy body.
What's more, the visible increase in physical attributes made him extremely fascinated! So he didn't plan to spend a few more dollars to take the van that traveled back and forth between the villages.
…
Coming to National Highway 104, looking at the cars and buses speeding back and forth on the asphalt road, Chen Jue felt like he saw ordinary yet familiar figures.
No matter whether it is a car going into the city or to the countryside, those who can set off so early must be rushing to work or school, just like Chen Jue before, who worked hard for a few taels of silver, for life and future, and left his hometown to fight in the city.
However, starting from yesterday, Chen Jue planned to bid farewell to his past wandering life.
Although the city is nice, it is not his home; although the countryside is simple, the residence makes him feel relaxed and happy.
"Maybe I'm a country boy at heart!" Chen Jue thought to himself as he walked along National Highway 104 towards Panlong Town.
It took another 10 minutes and about 1 kilometer of walking before I finally saw the commercial street in the town. I found a store selling cheap furniture and asked if they had the square wooden octagonal table for sale.
Through video learning last night, Chen Jue learned that the Eight Immortals Posture that comes with the Boat Fist is best practiced on the Eight Immortals Table.
Because this boat boxing was originally born on fishing boats, if it is impossible to simulate the narrow cabin environment, it would be difficult to achieve perfection.
Although there is a dining table in Chen Jue's old house, it is a simple folding table. It is not durable and will fall down when someone stands on it. It would be more appropriate to buy an octagonal table.
However, what Chen Jue did not expect was that the furniture store in this town did not have a similar wooden round table.
Nowadays, society has progressed and developed. Even the rural areas are decorated like those in the city. Who would still use such an old-fashioned eight-immortals table for dining?
Unless you are specifically going for a Chinese-style decoration, you will choose a solid wood dining table. Otherwise, you will buy a rock stone or marble table, or at worst a plastic table.
Chen Jue had no choice but to go to the furniture market in the city and reserve a solid wood square table of better quality through the circle of friends of the furniture store owner.
The table cost more than 2,000 yuan in total, and that was the result of bargaining.
If you place an order today, it will be delivered to your door the next day, and the transportation fee will be increased by 200. Chen Jue doesn't have to move it himself, which saves him a lot of effort.
After leaving the furniture store, Chen Jue walked all the way to the vegetable market in Panlong Town.
It was not yet 9 o'clock, and the market was bustling with people. The smell of various seafood, local products, vegetables, and slaughtered blood mixed together, it was so pungent.
Chen Jue hadn't been to such a vegetable market for a long time since he went to the city to wander. He went in, looked around, asked questions, and bought a lot of seafood, meat, vegetables, and eggs.
By the way, I cut half a crispy duck at the cooked food stall at the entrance of Caishikou.
There is no other way. Practicing martial arts requires a lot of physical energy, and the nutritional intake must keep up.
Fortunately, Chen Jue had helped to cook for a few years when his family was poor. Although the taste was average, it should be no problem to satisfy his taste.
