Chapter XVII. Preparation
Chapter 17 Preparation
Huangjing, also known as chicken head ginseng, has been regarded as a precious Chinese medicine for longevity since ancient times, and is known as the four great immortal medicines of Chinese medicine together with ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and cocoon.
Whether it can prolong life remains to be demonstrated, but it does have many therapeutic effects on the body.
Zhang Yang's practice of mangniu boxing doubled food consumption, to put it bluntly, it was still a problem of insufficient nutritional supply.
And once the person who practices martial arts is not well nourished, then the practice of martial arts consumes his own essence and blood.
Therefore, the children of wealthy families often use a lot of food and drugs to nourish qi and blood to supplement their martial arts, otherwise once their own essence and blood consumption is too large, it will often cause the body to deficit and form a dark disease.
This is also the reason why the saying goes: the poor are rich and martial.
Zhang Yang also understands this truth, and attaches great importance to Jiang Yunwu's conditioning recipes, but he also has to sigh that no matter what world he has no money, it is difficult to move an inch.
After eating the yellow essence, the hunger gradually disappeared, Jiang Yunwu got up and went back to his home, he also needed to clean up and wait for a while to follow Zhang Yang's family to Qinghe Town.
When Jiang Yunwu left, Zhang Yang rested for a while, and the painting in the room was already dressed, and ran out with a small bowl, and the sound came before the person arrived.
"Brother, I miss you so much! Yesterday, I waited for you for a long time, and you didn't come back!"
The little girl's pitiful appearance was cute to death, and she ran to Zhang Yang to ask Zhang Yang to hug her.
For the little girl, Zhang Yang always has an incomparable doting, reaching out and holding her in his arms, picking up a spoon from her hand and feeding her.
"Brother, I miss you so much!" the little girl turned her face sideways, not wanting to eat, and told her brother again about her longing.
"I miss you too!" Zhang Yang was extremely satisfied, this is the taste of home.
"But... You said you brought me a gift. ”
Zhang Yang was speechless for a moment.
And instead of thinking about yourself, you want to think about gifts?
It's just a little dramatist!
But this matter was indeed promised by himself, Zhang Yang smiled: "Of course I haven't forgotten! But I'm afraid that you won't like the gift I bought, so I decided to let you choose it yourself?"
As he spoke, he took out 10 yuan from his pocket and handed it to the chubby little hand of the painting, and continued: "Look, the money is ready for you, let's buy it today!"
"Really!" The little girl's eyes suddenly lit up, her whole fat face smiled like a flower, and she hurriedly held the copper coin tightly for fear that Zhang Yang would regret it.
But as soon as she was happy, she became depressed again, and then handed the copper coin to Zhang Yang and said, "Brother, it's too far to go to town, or you can help me bring it back!"
She also knew that she had small arms and legs, and it was a dream to go to Qinghe Town, and in the end she begged her brother.
"It's okay, don't worry, my brother will promise you, I will definitely let you buy it yourself today!" Zhang Yang smiled and said softly next to the little girl's ear: "Tell you a secret, our family moved today and moved to town!"
"Really?" the little girl didn't even eat, she had long wanted to go to the town to see it, it was the paradise he had always longed for.
According to the other children in the village, the town is very fun, there is a lot of food and play.
She hadn't been to it once.....
But now it's different, her brother actually told her that she was going to move, and she was moving to the town, wouldn't she be able to eat a lot of delicious food every day?
If you can go to the town to eat delicious food, why do you need to eat?
Seeing that the little girl didn't eat, Zhang Yang picked up the spoon and prepared to feed it.
But the painting resolutely refused to eat it, and swayed her body to go down to the ground to share her joy with the children in the village.
However, Zhang Yang was not happy.
When children are growing up, where can they not eat?
raised the slap to scare her, but as soon as she raised it, the little girl cried.
"Woo! mother, come on! brother bullying me!" The little girl immediately cried heartbreakingly, wiping her tears while crying, and turned back to Zhang Yang and said: "Brother, you bullied me, I don't have 20 yuan, no.... 30 Wen, I won't get up!"
Zhang Yang was stunned!
This is his sister?
It's all fine!
......
Zhang Yang finally spent 20 Wen to buy peace, and today the family moves, as long as the little girl doesn't make trouble, everything is easy to say.
The family packed up their things, in fact, there is nothing worth packing, nothing more than a little old clothes and food, as for the pots and pans Zhang Yang did not let them take away, these things are not worth a few dollars, in case the mood is good one day and come back to live for a few days.
As for Jiang Yunwu and Yang Tieshan, they were also waiting on the side with a burden.
They all went alone, and the old and young of the family did not go with them, after all, the family still had fields to take care of, and it was not too late to move there together if the business in the town was good.
Moreover, the Zhang family has a lot of things, and it is convenient for the two of them to help get more things.
In this way, the five of them went to Qinghe Town with large bags and small bags.
Along the way, the little girl was full of curiosity about the outside world, and kept asking what Zhang Yang Town was like.
She now has dozens of dollars in her hand, and she is ready to splurge it.
By the time we arrived in Qinghe Town, it was already three poles in the morning.
Zhang Yang spent 8 taels of silver to buy a small courtyard at the north gate, and the house has four rooms, but it is a little dilapidated.
If Zhang Yang, Jiang Yunwu and Yang Tieshan are in one room, the little girl will live in one room with Zhang Yang's family.
This price is a bit expensive, and Zhang Yang likes that there is a well in the middle of the yard, which is very convenient.
After that, some living utensils were added, and finally I had a home in the town.
After eating the first meal in his new home in this new pot, Zhang Yang started business with Jiang Yunwu and Yang Tieshan in the afternoon.
They first found a china shop in the town, bought thirty large tanks of water, and made a dozen trips back and forth into the courtyard, and arranged them in three rows.
Then, under the guidance of Zhang Yang, a ditch was dug on the edge of the water tank, and finally connected to the outer ditch.
"Baby, what kind of business are you doing with respect and humility?" Yang Tieshan has always frowned, he still hasn't figured out how Zhang Yang's vegetable business is connected with the water tank, and the most important thing is that he dug three ditches, and couldn't help asking: "Is it possible that you plan to use so many water tanks to wash vegetables?" I told you, we have to save some money, no matter how rich we are, we can't waste it like you! Look at it, there is the Qingshui River outside, we can completely pull the vegetables to the river to wash, it's just a little more walking. Don't worry, although your Uncle Jiang and I are crippled, we can still do our work!"
Yang Tieshan pondered for a long time, but still felt that he should talk to his nephew.
If you buy the water tank, you can return it, and at most you will lose a little money, but if you buy it and wash it, it will be a complete waste.
Although he didn't know where Zhang Yang's money came from, it might always be good to spend less.
"Yes, Zhang Yang, why don't we return the water tank, thirty tanks are more than one or two silver, and we can save some food for half a year!"
Jiang Yunwu also persuaded on the side.
"Uncle Jiang, Uncle Yang, our business is inseparable from the water tank!" Zhang Yang smiled, then picked up a jar and put it on top of the ravine, then picked up a stone and jumped into the ravine.
The ravine was dug deep, about half a person high, and it was just enough to jump in and bend over.
Zhang Yang found the position in the middle of the bottom of the cylinder, picked up the stone and smashed it.
Suddenly, I only heard the sound of "dang!", and Zhang Yang smashed a small hole at the bottom of the cylinder, and Jiang Yunwu and Yang Tieshan who watched it had the heart to kill this guy.
At this time, Zhang Yang jumped up from the ravine.
He was very satisfied with his masterpiece, and said to the two: "Uncle Jiang, Uncle Yang, let's make a hole at the bottom of the tank according to this tank, finish it early, and then we will go to the town to cut some bamboo." ”
"You ......" Jiang Yunwu pointed at Zhang Yang's nose and almost scolded the loser.
After thinking about it, I still endured it, but I still made up my mind to pay attention to it, if Zhang Yang's business failed this time and returned to Zhuangzi, he would teach this nephew a little lesson.
So.
The three of them lost together, and soon opened all the water tanks, and then went to the outside of the town to cut dozens of bamboo poles and came back, and at Zhang Yang's request, according to the size of the inner wall of the water tank, together with Zhang Yang's family, went into battle to weave hundreds of compartments.
After doing this, it was almost sunset, Zhang Yang hurriedly took his two uncles to the bull market and bought a cow for 5 taels of silver, and then went to the rice shop to buy all the silver under him into soybeans.
It took eight carts, and it took seven or eight trips to drive the ox carts back and forth before they all returned to the yard.
Today's life is not light, fortunately, they have all been in the army, and they have practiced mangniu boxing in the army, although they have not practiced since they were discharged from the army for various reasons, but their physical fitness is far much stronger than ordinary people.
But even if this is the case, Jiang Yunwu and Yang Tieshan are too tired to speak.
Zhang Yang was the same, but he kept gritting his teeth and insisting, and when he finished dinner, he forced Jiang Yunwu and Yang Tieshan to start the next step.
He first put a smaller compartment, then spread a full layer of soybeans on top of the compartment, and then added another layer of soybeans about 3 inches above to continue to spread soybeans.
And so on and so forth.
A water tank was covered with 5 layers of soybeans from bottom to top, and then Zhang Yang asked Jiang Yunwu and Yang Tieshan to follow his example, and together they spread all the other water tanks with gourd painting scoops.
Then it's watering.
Watering every water tank and every soybean, and then closing the lid, Zhang Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Jiang Yunwu saw something.
"Zhang Yang, are you going to grow vegetables in the water tank?"
Zhang Yang nodded, picked up a bowl and filled a bowl of water directly into the bucket and poured it into his mouth and said: "Hehe, it's almost! Let's call it bean sprouts! Wait for a few days, wait for the bean sprouts inside to grow to three inches long, and then you and Yang Bola will be troubled to sell them in the county." ”
Originally, according to the funds in his hand, Zhang Yang could buy more water tanks, but to be honest, the method of making bean sprouts is not very technical, as long as it appears under the special attention of people with a heart, it is not difficult to find the secret.
By that time, there will soon be quite a few people in the bean sprouts business.
If there are too many people in the bean sprouts business, it will inevitably cause the price of soybeans to rise.
So in order to avoid the increase in costs, Zhang Yang had to hoard a large number of soybeans.
However, this is not without a buffer point, at least before others discover the bean sprouts method, this blank time is enough for Zhang Yang to increase the production of bean sprouts, and then he is facing nothing more than a price problem, but at that time his output has developed, and he can still stabilize his income.
After telling Zhang Yang and his two uncles about his plan, Zhang Yang no longer cared about these things.
After all, his main mind is still on the imperial examination, and money is just a small road for him.
Then, from the next day, he really started his reading career.
In the morning, he went to the academy, and in the evening, he went to the ancient tomb in the mountain behind the stele village to teach the three foxes to learn the Xuanlu of the Qing Dynasty, and occasionally he himself would accept the foxes' guidance and elixirs for his cultivation, which saved him a lot of detours and saved a lot of money to buy nourishing medicinal materials.
Although the days are dull, Zhang Yang can feel that his body's qi and blood are constantly increasing every day, especially in terms of reading, Pang Fuzi has affirmed the fact that Zhang Yang is a genius.
He had already begun to learn the Analects, and he understood it very quickly, and in just ten days, he had already mastered the entire book.
It is worth mentioning that when Zhang Yang recited the three-character scripture and was approved by the saints, he once realized that he had obtained the dignity of the saint before the child, but after this period of time, he found that it seemed that in addition to being able to start cultivating qi in advance, it was useless for the promotion of status.
After all, this thing is honestly mysterious, and there is no clear record on the record, so it can't be determined, isn't it?
However, although there is no change in social status, Zhang Yang has found another benefit.
That is, with the continuous strengthening of Haoran righteousness in his body, his memory, eyesight and hearing are slowly improving, although the amplitude is very small, but it has brought Zhang Yang a lot of gains.
At least he doesn't have much trouble reciting now, although he can't do it by eye, but he can definitely recite it after reading it a few more times.
Zhang Yang believes that as long as he persists for a while, he will definitely be able to integrate the four books in the children's examination in the middle of next spring.
It's just that Zhang Yang's calligraphy really needs to be strengthened.....
The ugly words he wrote!
