Three silver notes, plus five heavy silver ingots and more than ten taels of loose silver, the total amount was staggering.

Xu Liyun was filled with emotion: "Yu Xiaoqiang is really smart and capable. Hu Bin only asked him to get the money, but he handled it so well."

Two hundred taels of silver was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for this small family.

The way of carrying silver bills is also more secretive and safer.

As for those heavy silver ingots, they were mostly used to satisfy the curiosity of the villagers.

When someone asked about selling the tiger, he just had to lightly wipe his sleeve to reveal the silver ingots.

"Please keep these valuables away. There are many people in the house, and don't let anyone accidentally look for them and lose them."

Zhang Laoer gave earnest instructions.

Upon hearing this, Xu Liyun nodded slightly and had already made up her mind.

She planned to follow the example of wise old lady Zhang and dig a small and hidden cave in an inconspicuous corner of the house.

While the whole family was gathered together, Zhang Laoer once again proposed his new idea: "Our village is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Deep in the majestic Daxiu Mountain, there must be an abundance of herbal resources. I think it would be better to take some free time to go deep into the mountains and forests, collect some herbs, and try to make pills by myself."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole family's eyes were focused on Zhang Laoer.

Zhang Laoer realized that he had attracted such attention as soon as he finished speaking, and he couldn't help but cough lightly.

"Before I got married, I was lucky enough to help a wandering doctor. In return, he gave me a precious prescription. I was young at that time and never thought about its value. Until recently, when I happened to look through some old things, I remembered this incident and had the idea of ​​testing the medicine."

He went on to explain: "The herbs needed are not rare or hard to find. They are all common in the mountains and the cost of collecting them is not high. If the prescription is really effective, in the future, just by selling these homemade pills, our family's living standards will be significantly improved and we will be on the road to prosperity."

After hearing this, the family members had different expressions on their faces, but only the young lady's eyes sparkled with admiration.

"Uncle Zhou Xiucai once said that saving a life is better than making seven pictures. So, since you saved two people, doesn't that mean you have made fourteen pictures?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the room was filled with cheerful laughter.

Zhang Sanwa shook his head and corrected him with a smile, "It should be 'Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda'. You have a little brain, and although you are good at math, don't tamper with the ancient saying."

Although Xiao Youniang did not have a deep understanding of these profound principles, when she heard herself being praised for her intelligence, her heart felt as happy as a blooming flower.

When mentioning Mr. Zhou, Zhang Sanwa's smile stiffened a little. The frustration he experienced in studying during the day quietly came to his mind, making him feel heavy.

But because Zhang Sanwa always looked serious on weekdays, his family members were used to it and no one noticed the subtle changes in his mood.

Only the careful and sensitive little girl caught her brother's subtle mood swings. She quietly put her little hand into Zhang Sanwa's cold palm.

Zhang Sanwa felt the warmth from his sister in his palm, and there was a little more tenderness and gratitude in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Youniang.

Zhang Laoer and his family continued to discuss the specific plan of making the pills enthusiastically and did not notice this heartwarming episode.

"The process of making pills is actually not complicated. The key lies in the selection and preparation of materials. After selecting the right materials and undergoing precise preparation, the pills are ready for production. If the prescription is really effective, the work of collecting the herbs and the preliminary preparation can be completely entrusted to the villagers, and we can focus on the refining process of the pills."

He had also thought deeply about the issue of sales, and taking the opportunity of a private chat with Hu Bin, he inquired about the details of the pharmacies in the county.

From Hu Bin, I learned about a clinic called Baicaotang, which was opened by Hu Bin's relative. Its reputation spread quickly in the local area, and in the past, doctors with excellent medical skills tried to sell pills there.

Zhang Laoer suddenly felt an urge to visit.

The imagined medical clinic should be crowded with people and filled with the aroma of medicine. If it is really as the actual visit shows and the business is booming, then it is a godsend.

By then, he could ask Hu Bin to mediate, and with the help of this network of relationships, his pills might be able to be successfully delivered. In this way, the big thing would almost be a foregone conclusion.

As soon as Zhang Laoer's plan was proposed at the family meeting, it immediately won the unanimous approval of everyone in the Zhang family.

Xu Liyun sympathized with her husband and readily agreed to accompany him to Daxiu Mountain tomorrow, while the other children stayed at home.

There was a barely perceptible hint of loneliness in Zhang Siwa's eyes. He had longed to collect more wild delicacies and make them into dried vegetables by himself.

In contrast, Xiao Youniang was not very interested in exploring the mountains at first, but when she heard her elder brother mention the unknown in the mountains and forests, her childish curiosity was instantly ignited.

She began to weave fantasy stories in her little head, imagining that there might be mighty tigers and little rabbits hidden in the mysterious Daxiu Mountain. Her mother's archery skills were so accurate that she seemed like a hero in a storybook.

When talking about the delicious rabbit meat, Xiao Youniang's mouth was drooling.

What is even more touching is the thoughtfulness of the second brother Zhang Siwa. He plans to give the rabbit skin to the aunt with the best craftsmanship in the village to make a set of warm new clothes.

As for the soft rabbit skin, it would naturally be left to the little girl to make a pair of warm and light winter boots.

Zhang Siwa also said with a hint of regret, "If the rabbit's fur could be purer and whiter, I could knit a warm scarf for my little girl."

Xu Liyun gently comforted him: "Don't worry, when the family conditions are better, I will buy a beautiful scarf for your little sister."

"Buy them all, one for each of us!" the little girl interrupted hastily, her childish voice filled with deep love for her family.

The next day, when the sky was just beginning to turn pale, Zhang Laoer and his wife got up quickly and started a busy day.

Hu Cuimei's craftsmanship is still amazing. The golden pancakes are baked to perfection and exude an enticing aroma.

They also specially selected a few exquisite cakes given by Hu Bin, paired with a pot of clear mountain spring water, and set off on the journey to Daxiu Mountain.

When the little girl woke up and found that her parents were no longer around, she couldn't help feeling a little lonely. Fortunately, with the company of her brothers and sisters, this feeling of loneliness was quickly dispelled.

At breakfast, as yesterday's leftovers had run out, Zhang Siwa just drank the sweet potato porridge cooked by his mother to save trouble.

As for the side dish, he prepared a small cold dish.

After his skillful preparation, even the most ordinary cold dishes can increase people's appetite. Even the light and ordinary sweet potato porridge is given a new life.

At the same time, Zhang Laoer and Xu Liyun shuttled through the mountains, the sun rose and the moon set, until the sun set, their backpacks were finally filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants.
