Chapter 1164 Chapter 1166【Stand firm】
Xiang Nan wielded the eight-cutting knife, and kept parrying, but did not make a single cut, which seemed to be at a disadvantage.
This made Shi Tiezhu anxious.
But Jinshan looked for something.
The gossip knife is four feet two long and weighs about eight catties, which is heavier than ordinary waist knives.
Although he has a strong beard and a fat body, it is quite laborious to wield such a big knife.
This can be seen from the sweat constantly oozing from his forehead.
In comparison, Xiang Nan's Bazhan Dao weighs only about two catties, and it takes no effort to dance. So light and sensitive, both offensive and defensive.
It is precisely because of this that Xiang Nan can wait for work at leisure, consuming Hu Xuyong's physical strength.
Now, with the exhaustion of Hu Xuyong's physical strength, his speed, strength, and accuracy of swinging the knife have all declined. And the pace is getting slower and slower than before, and it has become a success or failure.
At this moment, Xiang Nan suddenly put his two swords together to hold Hu Xuyong's Eight Diagrams sword.
Immediately, as soon as his arm screamed, the Bagua knife came out of his hand, and fell to the ground with a clang.
Hu Xuyong was about to dodge, but Xiang Nan's two eight-cut knives were already on his neck.
"Master Miao, how are you?" Xiang Nan asked.
"Master Ye is very skilled, I am convinced. The previous things are wiped out, and I will not do anything wrong with you again." Hu Xuyong said quickly.
Xiang Nan withdrew the knife when he heard this, "Okay, Master Miao is really happy. That being the case, I offended you today, and I will treat you to a drink another day."
"No, I should invite you." Hu Xuyong said hastily.
Xiang Nan smiled, and then led them away.
"Master Ye, I hope you don't tell outsiders about our competition." Hu Xuyong caught up again and said.
"Don't worry, Ye is not a talkative person." Xiang Nan nodded.
…
After they left, Hu Xuyong's younger brother stepped forward and asked, "Boss, just let them go, why didn't you keep them?"
They were afraid that Xiang Nan would not be able to stay today, so they made double preparations. One is Beard Yong, and the other is Musket. Two muskets, if you hit them, you will die.
"Do you think you can keep it if you stay? If you can't, our brother will be finished today." Hu Xuyong waved his hand and said, "For the one hundred yuan that Niu Baigeng gave, it is unwise to offend such a person .
Besides, we are opening the door to do business, not gangsters, killing or burying. If you really want to kill people, do you think we can escape? "
He decided to go right with Xiang Nan after collecting a hundred cattle and farming a hundred oceans. Now that he has fought against him, although he has never fought before, he is worthy of Niu Baigeng. After all, a hundred yuan is not enough to let him play with his life.
"Then forget it?" The younger brother asked dissatisfied again.
"Remember the gangsters, we have to give face to others when they give us face." Hu Xuyong waved his hand and said, "This man is very skillful, and he has a sense of proportion in his actions. He is a friend worth making."
The younger brother nodded when he heard it.
…
"Brother Wen, I thought Hu Xuyong would be spared just like that." Jin Shan asked Xiang Nandao.
"Forgive others and forgive others. Killing people is not the goal, but establishing a firm foothold in Macau is the goal." Xiang Nan explained, "It's easy to kill Hu Xuyong, but it's easy to make other forces wary of us, which is not good for us. Get a foothold in Macau."
To establish a foothold in a new place, in addition to being powerful, you should also be gentle, so that you can be accepted. Otherwise, blindly being tough and blindly killing will arouse the hearts of the local forces to fight against each other.
Jin Shan listened and nodded, "Brother, you are smarter!"
He was only tough when he was in Fushan, but he didn't know how to be soft, so he was disgusted by all the people in Fushan.
…
After solving Hu Xuyong, the restaurant resumed serving meals, the waterman resumed delivering water, and the building material store also brought bricks, mortar, and wood again.
Everything is back to normal.
Afterwards, Zhou Qingquan entrusted the help of his boss with whom he had dealt with before, and invited a few prominent local people in Macau to act as peacemakers together, and gave Xiang Nan and Niu Baigeng a peace wine.
"Brother Niu, Mr. Ye, there was a misunderstanding before, for our sake, we apologize to each other, and this matter is over, okay?" said Boss Wang who opened the firecracker factory.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Ye is actually not an outsider, he is from the Ye family in Fushan." Boss Liu, who opened the Buddha Incense Factory, also said, "Brother Niu, you should have heard of the name of the Ye family in Fushan. "
Niu Baigeng's expression changed slightly after hearing this.
Mountain is only two hundred miles away from Macau, whether it is close or far. As a famous family, the Fushanye family naturally has a reputation far and wide.
Niu Baigeng didn't expect Xiang Nan's status to be so high, and thought he was just an ordinary outsider. How could he have imagined that he was actually from the Fushanha family. If he had known earlier, he would not have offended him.
"How about it, Brother Niu, have a glass of wine with Mr. Ye, and let's forget about the past." Boss Zeng, who owns a match factory, also persuaded.
"Okay, forgive me for not being able to see Mount Tai." Niu Baigeng raised his glass and said, "Mr. Ye, let me toast you, let's forget about the past."
Before, the Niu family had never fought Xiang Nan in partnership, so he asked Kung Fu master and local snake Hu Xuyong to come forward, but Hu Xuyong couldn't do anything to Xiang Nan.
If the fight continues, he doesn't know how much more money will be spent, let alone whether it will work. In this case, it is better to reconcile.
Otherwise, based on Xiang Nan's skill alone, his life would be in danger. When the time comes, he is really going to die, his beautiful wife and concubines, and all his wealth will belong to others.
"Mr. Niu, I also have something wrong." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "This money will scare the folks." As he said, he pushed a bag of silver.
Niu Baigeng took a closer look, and knew that there were almost five hundred oceans in it. It can be regarded as making up for his loss.
"Okay, Mr. Ye is happy. If that's the case, I'll accept it." He nodded and said.
Xiang Nan also toasted, bumped one with him, and it was regarded as an exposition of the matter.
…
For the next period of time, basically nothing happened.
Xiang Nan showed his strength, and also showed his gentle figure. Other forces, unless they have deep blood feuds, naturally dare not provoke such a strong man who can defeat a whole family by himself.
This also allowed Xiang Nan to gain a firm foothold in Macau.
In the following time, he mainly focused on the construction of the basement.
Through the unremitting efforts of the workers, four-meter-deep pits were dug in the eight rooms on the first floor, and more than 900 square meters of soil were dug out.
Afterwards, holes were dug, bricks were laid, walls were ground, beams were erected, and ladders were erected, so that the eight underground storage rooms of the villa were not only connected to each other, but also very strong and would not collapse.
Then turn on the lights and prepare candles so that the basement can also be brightly lit.
Finally, re-lay the floor, leave the entrance and exit, and the whole villa is the same as before.
The huge basement has a total area of more than 200 square meters and can store 900,000 liters of rice, or about 675 tons.
Calculated on the basis of one kilogram of rice per person per day, 675 tons, enough to feed one person for 1,800 years. So it's good enough.
Of course, Xiang Nan will not only stockpile rice, oil, sugar, bacon, canned food, honey, tea, dry goods, medicinal materials, as well as firewood, coal, candles, kerosene, etc., also have to be stored.
In short, it is to prepare more for the future famine.
