Chapter 17 Preparation(1/2)
Polygonatum, also known as Chicken Head Ginseng, has been regarded as a precious Chinese medicine for prolonging life since ancient times. It is known as the four major immortal medicines of traditional Chinese medicine together with ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and Poria.
Whether it can prolong life remains to be proven, but it really has many therapeutic effects on the body.
Zhang Yang practiced Mangniu Boxing and doubled his food consumption. To put it bluntly, it was the problem of insufficient nutrition supply.
Once a martial arts practitioner is insufficient in nutrition, then the martial arts practitioner consumes his own essence and blood.
Therefore, the children of wealthy families often use a lot of food and qi and blood to supplement them. Otherwise, once their essence and blood are consumed too much, it will often cause physical deficits and causes dark diseases.
This is also the reason why it is said that poor literature and wealthy martial arts are rich.
Zhang Yang also understands this principle and attaches great importance to Jiang Yunwu's conditioning prescription, but he has to sigh that no matter which world he is in, he will be unable to move forward.
After eating Polygonatum, the hunger gradually disappeared. Jiang Yunwu got up and went back to his home. He also needed to clean up and wait and follow Zhang Yang and his family to Qinghe Town.
After Jiang Yunwu left, Zhang Yang rested for a while. Huaer had already put on his clothes and ran out with a small bowl. Before the person could reach the sound, the sound came over.
"Brother, Hua'er misses you so much! Yesterday, I waited for you for a long time, but you didn't come back!"
The little girl looked so cute that she ran to Zhang Yang and asked Zhang Yang to hug her.
Zhang Yang always felt extremely spoiled about the little girl. He reached out and held her in his arms, picked up a spoon from her hand and fed her food.
"Brother, I miss you so much!" The little girl turned her face and didn't want to eat. She once again told her brother about her longing.
"I miss you too!" Zhang Yang was extremely satisfied. This was the taste of home.
"But... you said you brought me a gift."
Zhang Yang was speechless immediately.
Do you think about yourself, but about gifts?
He's just a little drama artist!
However, I did agree to this matter. Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Of course I didn't forget it! But I was afraid that you wouldn't like the gift I bought, so I decided to let you choose it yourself?"
As he said that, he took 10 cents from his pocket and handed it to Huaer's chubby little hand, and continued: "Look, the money is ready for you, let's buy it today!"
"Really!" The little girl's eyes lit up, and her fat face turned into a flower. 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 coins to Zhang Yang and said, "Brother, it's too far to go to the town, why don't you bring it back for me!"
She also knew that her little arms and legs were just a dream to walk to Qinghe Town, and in the end she would beg her brother.
"It's okay, don't worry, I promise you that you can definitely buy it yourself today!" Zhang Yang smiled and said softly to the little girl's ear: "Tell you a secret, our family will move to the town today!"
"Really?" The little girl didn't even eat. She had long wanted to go to the town to see it, which was the paradise he had always yearned for.
According to other children in the village, the town is very fun, there are a lot of food and fun.
She hasn't been there once...
But now it’s different. My brother actually told her to move and move to the town. Wouldn’t she be able to eat a lot of delicious food every day?
Since you can go to the town to have delicious food, why do you still have to eat?
Seeing that the little girl was not eating, Zhang Yang picked up the spoon and prepared to feed her.
But Hua'er refused to eat anymore, and shook her body and wanted to go downstairs to share her joy with the children in the village.
However, Zhang Yang was not happy.
It’s the time for children to grow up, so where can they not eat?
I raised my slap and thought to scare her, but the little girl started crying just now.
"Woo! Mom, come quickly! Brother bullies me!" The little girl immediately started crying heart-wrenchingly, wiping her tears while crying. She turned around and said to Zhang Yang: "Brother, you bully me, you don't have 20 cents, no......30 cents, I won't get up!"
Zhang Yang was confused!
Is this my sister?
All have become a sperm!
......
Zhang Yang finally spent 20 yuan to buy Ping An. Today, as long as the little girl doesn’t make trouble, everything will be easy.
The family packed up their things, but there was nothing worth cleaning up. It was nothing but a little old clothes and food. As for pots, pans, Zhang Yang did not let them take them away. These things were heavy and not worth a lot of money. If they were in a good mood one day, they would be able to stay for a few days.
As for Jiang Yunwu and Yang Tieshan, they were also waiting on the side with a bag on their backs.
They all went there alone, and the old and young people at home didn't follow him. After all, there was still land at home that needed to be managed, so it wouldn't be too late to move over together if the town had a good business.
Moreover, there are many things in the Zhang family, so they can help get more things.
In this way, the five people went to Qinghe Town with big bags.
Along the way, the little girl was full of curiosity about the outside world and kept asking Zhangyang what it looked like.
She now has dozens of cents in her hand and is ready to spend some money.
It was already midnight when we arrived in Qinghe Town.
Zhang Yang spent 8 taels of silver to buy a small courtyard at the North Gate. There were four houses, but it was a bit dilapidated.
In this way, Zhang Yang, Jiang Yunwu and Yang Tieshan were each one, and the little girl lived with Zhang Yang.
This price is a bit expensive, and Zhang Yang is interested in that there is a well in the middle of the yard, which is very convenient.
Afterwards, I bought some living equipment and finally got a home in the town.
I had my first meal at my new home in this new pot. In the afternoon, Zhang Yang started his business with Jiang Yunwu and Yang Tieshan.
They first found a porcelain shop in the town and bought thirty large water tanks filled with water. They moved them back and forth ten times and moved them into the yard and arranged them in three rows.
Then, under Zhang Yang's guidance, he dug a ravine on the edge of the water tank, and finally connected to the outside gutter.
"Baby, what business are you doing?" Yang Tieshan frowned. He still didn't understand how Zhang Yang's vegetable business was connected to the water tank. The most important thing was that he dug three ditches and couldn't help asking: "Is there so many water tanks that you plan to wash vegetables? I tell you, we have to save some money, and no matter how rich you have, we can't waste it like you! Look, there is Qingshui River outside, we can completely pull the vegetables to the river to wash, it's just to walk more roads. Don't worry, although your uncle Jiang and I are disabled, we can still work hard!"
After thinking for a long time, Yang Tieshan still felt that he should talk to his nephew well.
You can get a refund after buying the water tank, and you can pay at most some money, but if you buy it and wash a dish, it would be a complete waste.
Although he didn't know where Zhang Yang's money came from, it might be better to spend less.
"Yes! Zhang Yang, why don't we return the water tank, which costs more than one or two silver for thirty jars. If we exchange it for food, we'll have enough food for half a year!"
Jiang Yunwu also persuaded him.
"Uncle Jiang, Uncle Yang, our business is inseparable from a water tank!" Zhang Yang smiled, then picked up a jar and placed it on the gully, then picked up a stone and jumped into the gully.
The gully was dug deep, about half a person tall, and he jumped in and bent over and could just pass it.
Zhang Yang found the center of the bottom of the tank, picked up the stone and smashed it on it.
Suddenly, with a "did!" sound, Zhang Yang smashed a small hole in the bottom of the tank, and Jiang Yunwu and Yang Tieshan were both worried about killing this guy.
Only then did Zhang Yang jump up from the gully.
He was very satisfied with his masterpiece and said to the two: "Uncle Jiang, Uncle Yang, we are all in one row, and we all made holes at the bottom of the cylinder according to this cylinder. After finishing our work early, we will go outside the town to cut some bamboo in."
"You..." Jiang Yunwu pointed at Zhang Yang's nose and almost cursed the prodigal son.
But after thinking about it, I still endured it, but I still made up my mind to pay attention. If Zhang Yang failed this time, he would teach this nephew a lesson.
So.
The three of them made a fortune together and soon opened all the water tanks. Then they went outside the town to cut dozens of bamboo poles and returned. At Zhang Yang's request, they woven hundreds of partitions according to the size of the inner wall of the water tank and Zhang Yang's family.
After finishing these things, it was almost sunset. Zhang Yang hurriedly took his two uncles to the bull market and spent 5 taels of silver to buy a cow. Then he went to the rice shop to buy all the silver under him into soybeans.
It was a total of eight cars, and it took seven or eight times to drive the ox cart back and forth before it was all brought back to the yard.
Today's life is not easy. Fortunately, they all worked in the army and practiced the Mangniu Fist in the army. Although they did not practice for various reasons after they were discharged from the army, their physical fitness was much better than that of ordinary people.
However, even if this is done, Jiang Yunwu and Yang Tieshan are too tired to talk.
Zhang Yang was the same, but he kept gritting his teeth and insisting. After dinner, he forced himself to start the next step of work with Jiang Yunwu and Yang Tieshan.
He first put a smaller partition, then spread a layer of soybeans on the partition, and then added another layer of soybeans about 3 inches above to continue laying the soybeans.
Repeat this way.
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 spread the other water tanks together with soybeans.
Then water it.
Water each water tank and every soybean, then cover it with a lid, Zhang Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Jiang Yunwu saw some tricks.
"Zhang Yang, are you going to grow vegetables in the water tank?"
Zhang Yang nodded, picked up a bowl and put a bowl of water into the bucket and poured it into his mouth and said, "Hehe, it's almost the same! Our name is bean sprouts! Wait for a few days, and the bean sprouts inside grow to three inches long. Then, I'll ask you and Yang Bola to go to the county to sell them."
Originally, Zhang Yang could buy more water tanks according to the funds he had, but to be honest, the method of making bean sprouts did not have much technical content. As long as it appeared under the special attention of those who were interested, it would not be difficult to find the secret.
By that time, many people will soon be in the business of bean sprouts.
Once too many people are doing bean sprout business, it will inevitably lead to a rise in soybean prices.
Therefore, in order to avoid the increase in costs, Zhang Yang had to stock up on a large number of soybeans.
To be continued...
