Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 54 Little Lucky Star
"This elixir of ours is new to the market, and the market response is still unknown. Why don't we try it out first and sign a short-term contract for one month. If both parties are satisfied, it won't be too late to renew the contract for a longer term." Zhang Laoer said in a calm tone.
He carefully selected several families who were in financial difficulties, both out of wanting to help them and also out of consideration for the uncertainty in the early stages of his own business.
The setting of a trial period is undoubtedly a reassurance that no matter what the outcome is, no party will suffer too much loss.
"As for the remuneration, it is tentatively set at 500 copper coins per month, plus each person will be given three Tianxian Pills per month for personal use. Resale is prohibited. Are you satisfied with such conditions?" Zhang Laoer's proposal was full of sincerity.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a positive response from the crowd.
Mr. Sanqiang agreed almost impatiently.
Ignoring the people around him, he strode forward, pressed his fingerprints on the contract that the village chief had already prepared, and clumsily drew a circle.
For him, this income plus three qi-replenishing pills means not only more security for his life in his later years, but also hope for improvement in the physique of his grandson Erwa.
Grandma Ayu, who followed closely behind, showed the same eagerness on her face. She quickly pressed her fingerprint on the contract and urged her daughter-in-law to catch up as soon as possible.
In this situation, there was no need for too many words. The other families took the initiative to step forward and scrambled to sign the contract, fearing that they would miss the opportunity to change their destiny.
The village chief looked at the two contracts covered with fingerprints in front of him, and a warm feeling rose in his heart.
He carefully collected them, gave one to Zhang Laoer as a receipt, and kept the other as a record for the village.
Then, facing the gathered villagers, the village chief announced calmly and forcefully: "From now on, this contract will take effect immediately! I hope our cooperation will bring a new look to Zhangjia Village!"
Time flies, and when the reputation of Zhang family's Qi-replenishing pills spread throughout the Great Zhou Empire, no one could have predicted that the starting point of all this glory was such an inconspicuous small team.
At the moment the contract was signed, the villagers felt more secure and expectant.
Zhang Laoer carefully counted the number of people and found that there were six middle-aged men, seven women and children in the six households.
Considering the danger of collecting herbs in the mountains, Zhang Laoer decided to send men to take on this important task, and handed over the more delicate task of preparing herbs to the women.
To ensure safety, he established strict rules - herbs must be collected in teams, and the results depend entirely on personal ability, but when going down the mountain, everyone's harvest must be recorded truthfully to prevent someone from hiding it or making false reports.
When imparting the art of cooking, Zhang Laoer adopted a clever approach.
Learning one skill each can not only ensure in-depth learning, but also effectively prevent the random leakage of prescriptions.
After everything was arranged, Zhang Laoer led everyone to Daxiu Mountain to prepare for on-site teaching, allowing them to personally experience the subtlety and fun of identifying medicinal materials.
The six men agreed unanimously, and they quickly packed their bags, filled their water bottles, prepared enough dry food, and followed Zhang Laoer's footsteps into the lush forest.
What’s special is that Xiao Youniang also joined the team.
At first, out of concern for the dangers in the mountains, he did not want to let his young daughter go with him.
But a glance at the simple and desolate hut at home touched the softness in his heart, and he couldn't bear to leave her alone.
So Xu Liyun took a compromise and tied herself and her daughter together tightly with a strong rope.
You Niang has lived at the foot of Daxiu Mountain since she was a child, but she has never had the opportunity to witness the magnificent view of the towering mountains. Her world is limited to the paths scattered with wild flowers and gravel at the foot of the mountain. Occasionally, she bends down to pick up a few pheasant eggs left in the grass, and that simple happiness is enough to make her satisfied.
This time, when she learned that she would set foot on the mysterious forest with her father and parents to search for precious medicinal materials, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable excitement and anticipation in her heart.
Although the mountain road was winding and every step was full of unknowns and challenges, Youniang's little face always had a bright smile on it, and curiosity sparkled in her clear eyes.
Even though her legs and feet ached and her clothes were soaked with sweat, she never complained, but just silently and tenaciously followed the adults' steps.
Daxiu Mountain is not only picturesque, but also contains countless treasures of nature.
You Niang followed closely in the footsteps of her mother and sister. Under their guidance, she listened carefully to which exotic flowers and plants could be used as medicine and which should never be touched. Those seemingly ordinary leaves and fruits seemed to be given life under the adults' explanations, and You Niang's horizons were infinitely broadened at this moment.
Just as the group was slowly walking to the middle of the mountain, the sunlight cast mottled shadows through the dense treetops, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of grass and trees. Suddenly, a slight and rapid rustling sound came from the grass.
Before anyone could become alert, a gray shadow suddenly leaped out from the bushes and rushed towards You Niang, moving so fast that no one could prepare.
Zhang Laoer and Xu Liyun felt nervous and were about to rush forward to check if You Niang was okay, but they saw You Niang sitting on the ground with a cute grey rabbit in her arms, which was obviously fainted by the impact.
The rabbit's plump body formed a sharp contrast with the tiny girl, making people around them laugh.
Thanks to Zhang Wuya's quick eyes and hands, she stepped forward and rescued You Niang from this sudden "surprise". The little girl was still a little confused after being rescued, and her appearance was even more hilarious.
"Haha, you are such a lucky girl. You caught dinner without any effort!"
Liu Yufang's eldest son was so happy when he saw this that he couldn't stop grinning. He joked and cast envious glances at her.
This rabbit was almost half the size of You Niang, which made people around them envious. However, thinking that it was the harvest of Zhang Laoer's family and that they took care of it on a daily basis, everyone could only swallow their desire and did not dare to ask for a share easily.
The young girl shook her still dizzy head, with a mischievous smile on her face. She squinted at the rabbit in her arms and said with pride, "Great, we can enjoy delicious roast rabbit meat tonight!"
Zhang Siwa heard this and rubbed his sister's tender face lovingly. He had already imagined various ways to cook rabbit in his mind, and was full of pride as a brother: "You are really capable, young lady. I will definitely save the biggest rabbit leg for you tonight, okay?"
Xu Liyun moved quickly and swiftly. She picked a few bundles of tough grass leaves from her side, quickly tied up the rabbit tightly, and threw it into the backpack that she had specially ordered from the skilled old craftsman in the village.
The sturdiness and durability of this backpack was not discovered until You Niang mentioned it by chance. Only then did they know that there was such a master basket maker hidden in the village.
This unexpected prey made the whole team more excited, and they firmly believed that this trip would be a great harvest.
Soon, the group found a lush chestnut tree on a hidden slope.
