"Old turtle? Why do I feel like that thing is of little use?"
When it comes to this stuff, everyone's first impression is that it is a great supplement, but Ding Yi has taken a lot of it during this period.
Ever since they came back from the hospital, Li Li greeted him like a bastard.
It was fine at the beginning, but after a few more sessions it just felt like that.
Ding Yi felt that there was a bit of a series of reactions such as feeling hot all over after eating, but not much.
In the end, I could only shake my head. This thing may have some effect, but it's not that powerful.
Everyone talks about it being so miraculous, probably because of your own misconceptions.
"Whether it's effective or not, let's try it first and then we'll tell. What if this thing is different from mountains and rivers, right?"
Originally, Zhang An thought that when Ding Yi came over, he would stew one for him to compensate.
However, there have been many people visiting Zhang An's house in recent days, so Zhang An did not cause unnecessary trouble to the family.
When they got up the next morning, Ding Yi and Li Li had to rush back to the city.
Zhang An quietly handed Ding Yi the antler wine and two giant turtles he had prepared last night.
This was what he had agreed with Zhang An last night. If others knew that he had a problem, he would be really embarrassed to come back again in the future.
"No, you didn't say this old turtle was that big."
Ding Yi's eyes widened when he saw the two old turtles as big as a small soup bowl.
The wild old turtle that Li Li bought at home was about the same size as a large bowl.
The two ones Zhang An brought over now are too exaggerated.
"I won't say it anymore. I will never treat you badly. Go back and give it a try. Remember to tell me if it works."
These two old turtles have always lived a carefree life in space.
My back, which was originally a little yellow, has now begun to turn green.
Even those claws have begun to turn black, and they have grown a lot.
Seeing Wang Fang and Su Ying in the room about to accompany Li Li out, Ding Yi immediately put the treasure Zhang An had given him into the car.
After Li Li got in the car, Ding Yi gave Zhang An a look before getting up and heading back.
After sending Ding and Yi away, Zhang An's family returned to its normal state.
In the first few days after arriving, Su Ying was really not used to it. After all, she suddenly changed her home.
But fortunately, Li Li and the others are here, so there isn’t much that I’m not used to.
And after getting along with each other these days, Su Ying has slowly adapted to this place.
Anyway, in a short time, this will be her other home, so just come here in advance to get used to it.
And in the following period, even though she would live in the school, Wang Fang said that she still had to come back to eat after school every day.
Although cooking can be done in the school dormitory, Wang Fang couldn't bear to let Su Ying go back to cook after class.
"Xiao An, after you have dinner later, take Yingying to your second grandma's place."
While eating, Wang Fang had a conversation with Zhang An.
"Yeah, okay, Mom, we'll go over there later."
Zhang An listened to his mother's words and agreed immediately. There was no need to think about this matter.
Because Zhang An's grandma is no longer here, Zhang Er's grandma has always been just like Zhang An's biological grandma.
In this family, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhang had already met Su Ying when they went to get engaged last time.
So in this family, only Mrs. Zhang has not seen what Su Ying looks like.
For both emotional and logical reasons, Zhang An should take Su Ying to Second Grandma Zhang to have a look.
"Come on, let's go there."
After eating lunch and eating for a while, Zhang An was ready to take Su Ying to Second Grandma Zhang's place.
"Why don't you wait until I change clothes and comb my hair before going."
Su Ying felt that going to see Second Grandma Zhang was a very formal matter, so she had to be prepared.
But half a day passed, and she changed her clothes several times but still felt unsuitable.
"That's enough, that's enough. There's no need to change anymore. The one you're wearing suits you perfectly."
If she kept silent, Zhang An would be worried that she wouldn't be able to change her clothes all afternoon.
"You are already good-looking. No matter what clothes you change into, you look the same. Let's go."
Zhang An didn't care whether she answered or not, he just pulled her downstairs.
"Zhang An, you said we go to see grandma, what should we pay attention to?"
Su Ying was a little uneasy now. She had never been like this when she came to see Wang Fang.
If we really talk about it, this feeling can be regarded as the feeling of truly meeting parents.
"Don't pay attention to anything, just stick to your usual habits. Second Grandma is very satisfied with you."
Although the old lady has never met Su Ying, she has already heard about it from the old man and several nieces and nephews.
The old lady should not be too satisfied with Zhang An's ability to find such a wife.
When we arrived at the elder's house, the old lady was drying the green beans she picked from the field in the yard.
"Milk, why don't you turn it over in such a strong sun? It can dry in the sun."
There is a thin layer of green beans drying on the ground. The sun is strong at noon, so there is no need to turn them over to dry them.
However, the elderly may want to dry them early, so they must turn over frequently.
There is no harm in doing this, but people will suffer more.
"It's okay, I just took a look. This is Xiaoying, right?"
Looking at Su Ying next to Zhang An, Grandma Zhang guessed it at a glance.
Su Ying is definitely the only girl who can be brought here by her eldest grandson.
"Yes, this is Xiaoying. I brought her over to see you today."
"Grandma, I'm Xiaoying."
With that said, Zhang An helped the old lady to hide in the shade under the eaves.
"Hey, okay, okay."
At this time, Mr. Zhang who was in the room heard Zhang An coming and came out with a tea cup.
Just like that, the whole family was talking happily in the yard.
It can be seen that the old lady is very happy that Su Ying is here today.
Especially when she heard that Su Ying would attend classes in the village middle school, the old lady was even more satisfied.
Because in the hearts of the older generation, teaching is a very good profession and very admirable.
So in the future, there will be a teacher in the family, and people of their age will feel it is very honorable.
Moreover, Zhang An also told the old lady that Zhang Tie, Zhang Xing, and Zhang Yu from Uncle Jianzhong's family would be in Su Ying's class later.
Now the old lady was even happier. If her own family taught her own family, why not teach her better?
Their generation suffered the disadvantage of being uneducated. In the past, their children came back from school.
They can only control whether the homework is written or not, but they really have no way of supervising whether it is done correctly or not.
But now it's better, several grandchildren at home are in Su Ying's class.
When they go to study in the future, they won't be afraid of hanging around in school.
In the meantime, the old lady asked Su Ying some questions, and Su Ying answered them one by one.
After chatting about wages for half of the time, the old lady took the initiative and asked the two children to go back.
It's not that the elderly don't want them to stay here longer, but they just think it's boring for the two children to accompany them all the time.
In the heart of the elderly, just coming over and taking a look from time to time is enough.
The two came out of Zhang An's second grandfather's house and saw Huang Guoping in the village leading a horse.
A tourist came down right away and was happily counting the money and handing it to him.
"Hey, Uncle Guoping, have you started a new business?"
After the tourists left, Zhang An went up to talk to them.
"Hey, I was thinking that those kayaks could be rented out, and there might be people willing to ride our pack horses, so I took them out and gave them a try. I didn't expect that there would be people who were willing to spend money to ride them."
Huang Guoping smiled at Zhang An, and then took out a bag of corn from the backpack on his back.
He wanted to take advantage of this time to quickly feed the family's draft horse.
Now it may be making money, so we can't let it starve.
"Indeed, city people are curious about these tricks. How is the business?"
Don't underestimate this horseback riding. Even the villagers, most children have never ridden one.
After all, not everyone has a horse, let alone those tourists from the city.
Moreover, these packhorses in the village are docile and very suitable for riding.
"Business is pretty good. People have been coming here since morning. I guess they have gone to eat now and only occasionally come down to feed the horses."
When he said this, the smile on Huang Guoping's face became even brighter.
"Hey, Uncle Guoping, where did you buy this saddle?"
Zhang An looked at the saddle on his horse's back. It was not the wooden saddle usually used for carrying goods.
It is a harness specially used for riding, including cushions and stirrups.
Although they are both saddles, those used to carry goods are different from those used for riding.
The saddlery for carrying goods is made of wood to make the horse frame more stable.
Although this kind of saddle can be ridden, it is very uncomfortable on the buttocks.
Especially when the horse starts running, it can knock your butt off, which is a serious crime.
This saddle, specially designed for riding, not only has thick cushions, but also stirrups for mounting the horse.
If you put it on when riding a horse, your butt won't have to suffer.
"This saddle was made with the help of Carpenter Lin."
"What, the carpenter uncle can still do this job?"
Zhang An thought Huang Guoping bought it on the street, but he didn't expect it was made by Carpenter Lin.
"Haha, Carpenter Lin has a lot of skills. I heard that you are learning skills from him. You should work hard to make him a boss."
Many people in the village knew that Zhang An learned carpentry from Carpenter Lin.
Carpenter Lin's craftsmanship is second to none among the carpenters from the nearby Shilibaxiang.
It's just that if you ask him to do work for you, he will pay you the price and he won't give you a penny less.
But in terms of quality, he will not cheat anyone and will do his best for you.
So over time, everyone called him the big boss.
But even if everyone shouts this, there are not many people looking for him to work.
While Zhang An was chatting with Huang Guoping, an adult came over with his children to ride horses.
They were asking Huang Guoping if this horse could ride an adult and a child.
Of course you can do this, just pay more.
The horses in the village can carry hundreds of kilograms of crops on weekdays.
An adult plus a child doesn't weigh much at all, and it doesn't take much effort for a horse to carry.
Soon, Huang Guoping negotiated the price with the father and son in three or two minutes.
And Zhang An did not continue to chat with him, after all, he could not delay his business.
In the afternoon, Zhang An went directly to find Carpenter Lin.
Because now he also wants to make a saddle for the big black horse at home.
He had this idea when his family first bought a big black horse.
But then I didn’t ride much, so I didn’t go looking for it on the street.
Besides, asking Carpenter Lin to make a saddle is just a matter of coming to your door and talking to him.
"Uncle carpenter, I heard that you are always good at making saddles?"
After entering the courtyard, Zhang An smiled and spoke to Carpenter Li.
Now Carpenter Lin is considered his master, so he doesn't feel embarrassed at all when he wakes up.
"You still need to ask? Isn't that what you did at your house made by me?"
When Zhang bought a big black horse before, the saddle was bought from him and cost him fifty yuan.
But it's much better than the one that originally sold horses, and I still wanted a hundred yuan for a pair of bad saddles.
"No, I mean the kind of saddle specially used for riding, not the saddle for carrying a horse basket."
"Oh, this, do you want to hit me too? I haven't done it for several years."
This kind of saddle can only be used for riding on weekdays and has no other functions, so there are relatively few people making it.
Unlike the wooden saddle of the packhorse rack, every household with a packhorse needs to make it, after all, it will be used to carry goods throughout the year.
"Hmm, I want to give one to the big black guy at home, and you should practice it first. I guess there will be a lot of people coming to you to do it in a few days."
Zhang An wants to make a saddle, but he doesn't want to lead a horse to make money like everyone else.
Just now, Su Ying looked at the girl who got off Huang Guoping's horse with a little envy in her eyes.
Su Ying is also a girl from the city, and she must have never ridden a horse before.
So after seeing other people riding horses, I must have had the idea to give it a try.
Although she didn't say it, Zhang An could tell that he happened to have a horse at home and all he needed to do was make a saddle.
"Oh? What's going on?"
When Lin Carpenter heard Zhang An's words, he became serious.
If someone asked him to make this saddle, it would be a lot of money.
After all, this kind of saddle is more expensive to make than the wooden saddle.
"Hey, I saw today that Uncle Guoping took out the family's horse and let people ride it. He always made money."
Hearing what Zhang An said, Lin Carpenter understood.
For such a profitable thing, there must be two.
Other families in the village who have horses, seeing Huang Guoping making such money, will definitely imitate him.
Then people who don't have saddles will have to come to him for work.
"Then you don't have to do it. I made a pair before, but it was useless. You go and bring the horse over and I will change the size."
Carpenter Lin didn't say anything, but went back to the house and brought out a pair of saddles.
Although the saddle was covered with a linen bag, it was still covered in dust.
However, even though it was covered by dust, Zhang An could still tell that the saddle had been stored for a long time and had not been used.
"Thank you very much, Uncle Carpenter."
Zhang An was very happy and originally thought he would have to wait for a while.
Although he doesn't know how to saddle a horse, the process of making a saddle is not simple.
Even if this kind of wooden saddle is not very complicated in structure, it will inevitably take a week to make.
