Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 53 Turnaround
Fortunately, today's purchase included the hammer and nails necessary to build the new bed.
So, the father and his two sons took advantage of the bright sun, sweated profusely, and hammered away, and a simple but sturdy new bed frame gradually took shape.
The bed surface was built with rough wooden boards, on which were randomly laid a few old straw mats and thin quilts. Although simple, it was enough to provide a relatively independent sleeping space.
However, through the thatched roof with holes everywhere, you can see a few stars. The chill of the night quietly invades, making this temporary residence seem even more cramped.
In such an environment, Xiao Youniang's optimism is like a ray of sunshine, illuminating the entire family.
Before going to bed, she ran to say goodnight to each family member.
This innocent happiness fills the simple house with warmth.
At the same time, Zhang Laoer's plan is quietly changing the fate of the village.
When the village chief learned that Zhang Laoer wanted to continue making medicine, he felt relieved and secretly thankful that his support was not in vain.
He acted quickly and instructed his son to immediately notify the villagers who had made earlier agreements and remind them to come and sign the cooperation agreement tomorrow.
For Liu Yufang and others, the news instantly dispelled the disappointment they had felt over the project’s failure, and was replaced by a beautiful vision of future cooperation.
The impoverished family life may turn around from now on. As long as they can work hard with Zhang Laoer, even the meager income can reduce the sadness on their family's faces.
The next morning, just as the sky was turning pale, without Zhang Rui's urging, representatives from various families had already gathered impatiently at the door of the village chief's house, anxiously and expectantly waiting for Zhang Laoer's arrival.
At this time, Zhang Laoer was still immersed in the tranquility of daily life. He got up and washed as usual, and used the newly bought clay pot to carefully cook a pot of fragrant sweet potato porridge on the simple stove built last night.
There is a delicate layer of oil floating on the surface of the porridge, and every spoonful is full of the taste of home.
Zhang Siwa carefully heated up the buns he brought back from the town and added a few side dishes. A simple but warm breakfast was ready.
The sweet potatoes in the sweet potato porridge are carefully selected by Zhang Siwa. They have a sweet and soft taste, and blend perfectly with the porridge.
When Xiao Youniang saw this scene, her eyes were filled with happiness, and even the side dishes that she usually loved were temporarily forgotten.
Although side dishes are common on the table, they also have their own unique flavor. They are crisp and refreshing with a hint of sweetness, just like tender leaves in the morning dew in early summer. Once you taste them, you can't stop. You will pick up several pieces with your chopsticks in succession until the plate is empty, but you still feel unsatisfied.
Facing such a rich and carefully prepared breakfast, Zhang Siwa's eyes revealed a trace of regret. He murmured softly, as if he was slightly dissatisfied with the current situation: "Alas, if I had enough ingredients at home, I would definitely make a bowl of chili oil by myself, and mix it with a few seasonal cold dishes. The taste would be more fragrant than anything else on the table."
"Dad, Mom, you have to hurry up and find a craftsman to repair this old house. It would be best if you could add a large, bright kitchen for me and equip it with a few sturdy and durable cabinets so that I can use my skills to make more delicious dishes."
Zhang Sanwa's eyes flashed with deep thought when he heard this, and then he put down his bowl and chopsticks. He said firmly, "Actually, I also have an idea. I want to ask you two elders to help me prepare a study room. I have made up my mind to take Zhou Xiucai from the village as my teacher, study hard, strive to pass the imperial examination, and bring honor to our Zhang family!"
When these words were spoken, everyone at the table was shocked.
Zhang Sanwa has always been averse to studying, and his family members are well aware of his firm attitude.
However, in just a few days, this man who once claimed that "studying is useless" has undergone such a change, which is really incredible.
Xu Liyun looked doubtful and sighed softly: "Sanwa, this is easier said than done. Whether Mr. Zhou is willing to accept you as his apprentice is another matter. The road to learning is never smooth."
Zhang Sanwa raised his lips slightly, and said confidently: "I will certainly find a way to make him nod his head."
After he finished speaking, he kept silent, as if he was confident and unwilling to reveal any more.
The two children understood clearly that Mr. Zhou’s words were indeed valuable advice.
That tiger skin was just a lucky beginning. If the family was still poor, even if he could catch delicacies from mountains and seas in the future, he would have to give them up when faced with greedy eyes, without any ability to fight back.
For the sake of this sudden sister and to prevent the family from repeating the same mistakes, they must fight hard.
After Zhang Sanwa finished speaking, the rest of the brothers and sisters were half surprised and half confused.
They did not doubt Zhang Sanwa's determination, but they were well aware of Zhou Xiucai's arrogant temperament, and it would undoubtedly be difficult for them to become his disciple.
In this silence, only Xiao Youniang's face was filled with an innocent smile: "Brother is going to school, that's great! Uncle Zhou Xiucai said that reading more will make your mind more active, so you won't be easily deceived."
After hearing this, Zhang Sanwa felt worried and asked softly, "But if I still get cheated after reading so many books and can't do what I want to do, what should I do?"
The young girl blinked her bright eyes and answered slowly in a tender voice: "The person who was deceived must have trusted the liar too much. That person must feel very uncomfortable, right?"
When Zhang Sanwa heard this, his nose felt sore and he almost couldn't hold back his tears. Fortunately, no one else noticed his subtle emotions.
After a quick breakfast, Zhang Laosui quickly packed up, picked up his little mother, and led the whole family to the village chief's house.
When we arrived at the village chief's house, we saw that the yard was crowded with people. Hearing that selling pills was profitable, almost all the villagers came.
When the village chief saw Zhang Laoer and his family finally arrived, the tense lines on his face suddenly relaxed: "Finally you're here. If you were any later, I would have really sent someone to look for you."
Zhang Laoer first greeted everyone one by one. After the atmosphere became harmonious, he turned to the village chief and said with a smile: "My family is used to getting up a little late in the morning. So, we hurried over as soon as we finished our meal. Sanwa, Siwa, Wuya, Youniang, come and say hello to all the uncles and aunts."
The children did as they were told and behaved in a polite and friendly manner.
Zhang Sanwa and his friends were away from home all year round and were not very familiar with the villagers. Fortunately, Xiao Youniang had an excellent memory and she took them aside to greet them one by one, thus resolving the awkwardness of the first meeting.
After some polite exchanges, Zhang Laoer went straight to the point. His words were concise and straightforward, and he launched into an in-depth discussion on the issue of pharmaceutical manufacturing.
The creation of this precious thing, Tianxiandan, requires a series of tedious and delicate processes.
Collecting, preparing and refining herbs, each step is a test of patience and wisdom.
Zhang Laoer already had a plan in mind and decided to draw on the help of the villagers to participate together.
He plans to invite six families to join him and experience together the hardships and mysteries of collecting and preparing herbs, and through practice identify who is more suitable to display their strengths at different stages of this ancient craft.
