Chapter 1379 Baozhilin
"Are you American or Chinese? You don't look like you have Chinese ancestry."
Although everyone always complains about the problem that a drop of blood can contaminate genes, in fact, the racial characteristics of every skin color are equally conspicuous.
Dora looked like a pure white man at first glance, but the other person seemed to be a China expert, which inevitably made Zhang Pin a little curious.
"Hey, did you know that in one sentence, being curious about a person often represents the beginning of fall?"
Dora did not have a positive explanation for Zhang Pin's question, but instead started to argue with Zhang Pin.
"Yes, it's normal for me to have some thoughts about a beauty like you."
Zhang Pin didn't pay attention to Dora's pulling. He was very familiar with this situation.
After sitting in the car, Sir Zhang calmed down.
He was originally worried that A Ling might be in danger because of this chaos, so he didn't think much about it for a while. Now he realized it, but he knew that caring would cause chaos. In fact, he had to contact A Ling. There was obviously a better way here.
"I'll make a call."
Zhang Pin didn't give Dora a chance to continue talking, so he took out his cell phone and called A Ling.
As Zhang Pin expected, the call was quickly answered.
"Where are you now? Bao Zhilin, right? I know."
As expected by Sir Zhang, A Ling really went to Baozhilin.
"Wait for me, I'll be right over."
Zhang Pin was completely relieved.
"Yes, you should have called earlier and found out."
When Zhang Pin was on the phone, Dora didn't say anything. When he hung up the phone, Dora looked like she suddenly realized something, but this was a bit exaggerated.
"Okay, you've thought of it before, right?"
Zhang Pin still had some doubts about Dora's appearance. He always felt that her appearance was too coincidental.
This coincidence made him always feel that the other party was planning something.
So he kept testing along the way.
Zhang Pin: "By the way, from the look of you, have you served in the military?"
The reason why Zhang Pin made this guess was mainly due to the hand Dora showed when he intercepted two Mexicans while driving.
With her interception method, it is impossible to achieve the perfection of the opponent without some skills.
For ordinary people, even if the technology is in place, they don't dare to take risks. After all, if you are not careful, you may hit someone.
But after Dora heard what he said just now, he didn't clearly explain the specific situation of the two Mexicans, but Dora directly chose to stop the car without worrying about the subsequent problems.
You must know that this is America, and Mexicans are not as dangerous as Asians. There is a high probability that those two people will have guns on them.
Dora seemed to have guessed that Zhang Pin could deal with those two people, so Sir Zhang became more suspicious of her.
"Guess."
Dora still didn't answer Zhang Pin's question directly, and then he suddenly braked without waiting for Zhang Pin to speak further.
"We're here!"
Baozhilin is not far from the place where the previous riots occurred, and it didn't take long for the car to arrive.
Zhang Pin did not lose his composure due to Dora's sudden braking. On the contrary, it was as if the inertia did not exist on him. His body was still sitting firmly on the seat, without even the help of a seat belt.
On the contrary, even though Dora was driving the car herself, her whole body hit the steering wheel directly at this moment.
However, her two principles played a very good buffering role. When it touched the steering wheel, it continued to bounce several times before Dora's own body stopped.
"Thank you for your help, you can leave now."
After the car stopped, Zhang Pin unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car, and then chased people away again.
But as expected, Dora did not leave directly, but continued to shamelessly follow into the Chinese medicine store with the Bao Zhilin sign.
At this time, the master and apprentice met each other in the store, but there was no scene of deep affection between master and apprentice. Instead, the atmosphere was very awkward.
a few minutes ago.
"Jiebao, you are finally here. Hey, you have lost weight."
Ah Ling obviously knew Chen Houde and Bao Zhilin, so she quickly arrived with Ajie.
After getting off the car, the two of them entered Baozhilin when Zhang Pin's phone call came.
At this time, there was only a thin man in Baozhilin who was busy preparing medicinal materials.
Hearing the movement at the door, he looked up and found that it was his precious apprentice. He immediately walked out happily, then spread his hands, ready to hug Ajie.
"Master, you are still so thin. It seems that America's food is not as good as you said."
Ajie was equally happy to see his master. While hugging Chen Houde, he whispered in his ear: "Master, don't call me by my nickname in the future."
While Ajie was talking, his attention was still quietly paying attention to A Ling who was standing at the door answering the phone.
He was afraid that A Ling would just leave, and he wanted to have more contact with A Ling.
"Okay, Jiebao, let's take a look at the master's shop. How about it? The master didn't lie to you. This is a big business that the master has accumulated over the years."
Chen Houde was very happy to see his apprentice, and immediately showed off his Baozhilin to him.
"Master, you just sit in the clinic alone, why do you rent such a big place? The rent in this place is not cheap. Isn't the cost too high?"
Regarding the fact that the master ignored his reminder and continued to call him by his nickname, Ajie was speechless for a few seconds, and then chose to get into Chen Houde's heart.
Chen Houde's Baozhilin is naturally not as good as he said. The store space is indeed quite large.
But the layout is messy. In addition to the cabinets containing traditional Chinese medicine on the wall, there are many glass bottles of medicinal wine soaked with various medicinal materials at the entrance and inside of the store.
These medicinal wines were placed haphazardly on the ground or on the shelves.
When Chen Houde was in the Mainland, he ran a Chinese medicine shop. As his apprentice, Ajie also helped in the shop before.
So he is very familiar with the layout of a Chinese medicine hall.
Unlike Western medicine, Chinese medicine does not have an operation room or operating room, so apart from a small bed for some bone-setting massage, other diagnostic methods can be solved with a table and two chairs.
Generally speaking, Chinese medicine does not need to be accumulated very much, so it does not actually require much space.
Chen Houde's store is so large that the middle space is even suitable for a group of old men and women to dance in the square. Ajie's question is not without reason.
"What do you know? The bigger the store, the more others will believe in your strength. Do you know what business behavior is?"
When Chen Houde heard Ajie's question, he was a little worried. He is an old man himself, and he has been in America for so long, and he can still make a name for himself in the surrounding area, so he still has some abilities.
When he heard Ajie's doubts about the store, he was naturally embarrassed to say that when he rented the store, he was a little hot-headed for a while. As a result, because the store was too big and the rent was too expensive, it has become unsustainable and even started to I am in arrears with the store rent.
It was precisely because the store was too big for him to handle alone that Chen Houde hurriedly contacted Ajie and asked him to cross the ocean to help him.
"Stop talking, I'll introduce you to someone"
Ajie obviously knew his master's character very well. He had no intention of bragging to him anymore. After noticing that A Ling had made a phone call, he wanted to introduce him.
Of course Ajie's purpose was not to introduce A-Ling to her master. In fact, he wanted to take the opportunity to introduce himself to A-Ling.
After all, Aling was able to call out her master's name before, which meant that the two of them should have known each other for a long time.
"Hey, it's Aling. I heard that you have become rich. Didn't you move away? Why are you back again?"
Chen Houde did know A Ling.
"Hmph, I didn't expect that Bao Zhilin's signboard hasn't been smashed yet. The martial arts gym can't open. Now let's open a wrestling gym. No wonder there isn't a single customer at noon."
Something happened that made Ajie make a mistake.

Ah Ling did know Chen Houde, but judging from her tone, she knew that her feelings towards Chen Houde were not that good.
Hearing A Ling's almost curse words, Chen Houde had a stern expression on his face, but he did not get angry or refute A Ling.
At this moment, Zhang Pin got out of the car and walked into Baozhilin.
"Dear."
Ah Ling, who originally had a very bad attitude towards Chen Houde, immediately transformed into a clinging bird after seeing Zhang Pin. She immediately hugged Zhang Pin's arm and snuggled into his arms.
"What's wrong with this?"
Zhang Pin touched A Ling's head, and he could clearly see that A Ling was not in a good mood.
"A-Ling, I heard about your brother A-Wei. I'm really sorry."
As Zhang Pin came in, A-Ling snuggled into his arms. A-Jie, who was speechless because he did not expect the tension between his master and A-Ling, was hit again and his whole body felt bad. .
The first time he saw A-Ling, his heart started to beat, and he always felt that she was his lifelong pursuit.
But now, before he could pursue A Ling, he discovered that the other party already had a partner.
But at this moment, no one cared about him at all.
Chen Houde looked at A Ling and spoke with an apology on his face.
"Yes, just apologize after death."
A Ling looked at Chen Houde coldly.
The reason why she has a problem with Chen Houde is of course because of her dead brother Ah Wei.
Speaking of which, the reason why Ah Wei chose to join a motorcycle gang was because he had no parents to look after him. For an orphan like him, joining a gang was a way to make a living.
But the reason why he, an Asian, was able to join a predominantly white street gang was not only because Big Beard fell in love with Ah Ling and wanted to succeed through Ah Wei, but also because compared to other Asians, Ah Wei was It is relatively capable of fighting.
The reason why Ah Wei has good skills is because of Chen Houde's teaching.
When Chen Houde came to America, his first business was not a wrestling gym, but a martial arts gym.
In fact, Chen Houde had no choice. At that time, he had just come to America and he didn't have a dime. No matter how simple the club was, it still had to prepare some medicinal materials, medicinal wine, etc., which cost money.
On the contrary, opening a martial arts gym is different.
When Chen Dehou first opened a martial arts gym, there wasn't even a martial arts gym. He recruited people in a place where Chinese people gathered, and the teaching location was an open field.
And Ah Wei was the first batch of disciples accepted by Chen Houde.
It was precisely because Ah Wei studied martial arts with Chen Houde that A Ling met Chen Houde.
Regarding Ah Wei learning martial arts from Chen Houde, Ah Ling actually did not agree at first.
It's not that she doesn't despise her brother's ability to learn, but in A Ling's heart, she feels that there is no way out for learning martial arts.
You must know that they live in America. If martial arts is about strengthening the body, the muscles developed in America's fitness training are much more obvious than those practiced in martial arts, and they are also bigger.
As for relying on martial arts to enhance your skills and then fight, martial arts is even more useless. America is full of guns. No matter how good you are in martial arts, it can still be worth the bullet.
But Ah Wei's young mind naturally cannot be persuaded.
Chen Houde made a name for himself by teaching people martial arts and accumulated a certain amount of savings. Then he ran Baozhilin, and then gradually transformed from a martial arts hall to a traditional Chinese medicine hall, and then to the current traditional Chinese medicine hall. An inspiring example.
But the price is that the first generation of disciples he taught got into fights with others because they learned martial arts, and most of them ended up bleeding on the streets.
Regarding this situation, it's strange that A Ling would have a good look when she saw Chen Houde.
"I'm sorry. I originally hoped that they could keep fit, but I didn't expect that they would all be so competitive."
When Chen Houde heard A Ling's words, his face was full of helplessness.
From the bottom of his heart, he felt very sorry for the fate of those disciples.
In fact, he himself was not a competitive person, and he had originally advised his disciples.
It's a pity that people with young minds can become ghosts only after they learn some skills and can listen to advice.
But to say that Chen Houde is really innocent is not entirely true. After all, if his first batch of apprentices hadn't given him tuition, he wouldn't have been able to settle down in America.
Then the first batch of apprentices became successful in their studies and became famous. Chen Houde's business became better and better, and then he was able to successfully transform.
And it's hard to say whether he really has no intention of encouraging his disciples to become famous.
After all, martial arts masters in the Mainland have the custom of training apprentices and then letting the apprentices compete in the gym to build their own signature.
This custom is most famous in Tianjin, and the price is that the apprentice who makes a name for himself will often end up with a miserable end.
After all, kicking a gym but smashing someone else's sign is a very offending thing.
The reason why the martial arts master does not come to the door himself, but teaches an apprentice to come to the door, is to avoid risks.
"Hey, it seems that you are still a capable person, Master Chen. I happen to have a sprained foot. Please help me straighten it."
Zhang Pin heard A Ling's words and roughly guessed the conflict between the two.
Regarding this kind of thing, he didn't have a bad attitude towards Chen Houde like A Ling.
Although Ah Ling's younger brother Ah Wei seems to have been tricked by Chen Houde, in fact his life is traceable.
Judging from the environment in which he was born and the trajectory of his life, even if he had not met Chen Houde, it would be difficult for him to have a good future.
And now that everyone is dead and revenge has been avenged, it doesn't make much sense to pursue Chen Houde again.
So Sir Zhang spoke up to smooth things over.
