**Chapter 243: Sanbao Goes Into the Water** Yan Yu herself didn’t notice the change, but Li Xuemei and Yan Lao’er, watching from the sidelines, could tell—her appetite had grown, and she’d shot up a bit in height too. The whole family had a hearty meal. With all that meat and noodles, it was a bit hard to digest, so Li Xuemei suggested they all go out for a walk. For farming folk, the thing they cared about most was their land. So, unsurprisingly, their stroll took them to the Yan Family’s…- 477.5 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 242: A Growing Appetite "Just a little longer." Yan Lao'er pointed ahead. "Look over there, that’s the raft we built. Not bad, right?" Li Xuemei squinted for a better look. "What’s that on top, bamboo beds?" "Exactly! Two bamboo beds. The raft has holes carved in just the right spots to lock the bed legs in place. Right now, they’re set apart with a narrow path in the middle so we can move back and forth easily. But they can also be pushed together. The holes were all pre-measured." He…

- Chapter 241: The Year of Exams Flat planks, logs, more planks... Yan Yu held her breath. This was turning out way better than she’d expected! It was... a raft! A wooden raft that looked like a boat! Of course, they couldn’t just use two old door panels. Qi Wu measured the size of the raft they’d lashed together and began sawing wood to make proper boards. Without the convenience of modern tools, Qi Wu relied entirely on brute strength, wrestling with the wood inch by inch. Yan Yu helped out…

- Chapter 239: Adding a Layer to the Raft Granny Rong poured clear water into two large basins, added salt, and stirred them. As soon as the sheep was bled, she brought the basins over. The steaming hot sheep’s blood flowed into the bowls as she stirred each one with a hand, mixing them evenly. Then she set them aside to rest undisturbed. She took away all the offal, followed by the legs, ribs, head, and hide… Luo Sanlian didn’t even get a moment to admire the fruits of his labor. In the blink of…

- Chapter 240 – Renovations Underway Yan Yu followed behind, tilting her head for a look. Uncle Qi Da was the fastest. As he reached them, he suddenly remembered his hands were still covered in blood and stopped himself from reaching out. Qi Si and Qi Wu arrived almost at the same time—one of them took the pot, while the other stood there grinning foolishly. It felt like her father was being doted on by the whole family... “We slaughtered a sheep today and made a pot of offal soup—figured we’d…

- Chapter 238: Fish and Mutton Fresh Her father was busy selling salt. Her aunt, Madam Cui, came storming out of the house like a gust of wind, bringing a scale with her and shouting even louder than Yan Lao’er. “Coarse salt, twelve wen per jin! Refined salt, thirty-five! If you want some, hurry back and bring your jars or cloth bags. Those water jars, crocks, and urns—you can’t take them home today. They’re just samples. You’ll have to come back and haul them in two days. For now, place your…

- Chapter 237: Jars, Crocks, Urns, and Salt While Doctor An and the other physicians were discussing how to revise the prescription, Liang Manshan made a dash back into the city. He found the pottery shopkeeper’s home, inquired about the prices of large jars, crocks, and urns, and asked how many they had in stock. Then he hurried back to report the prices to Yan Lao’er. “Manshan, you’re really quick! All right then—let’s take all of his large jars. As for the crocks and urns, let’s start…

- Chapter 236: Severe Illness Requires Strong Medicine Yan Lao'er stood frozen in place when he received the money. "This... this is a lot more," he stammered. Yan Huaiwen explained patiently, "This isn’t just for buying medicine. Part of it covers the masks you brought earlier—His Excellency counted it as an official purchase, two wen per mask. The travel expenses for you and Qi Si on your journey to Longxing are included as well. Also, His Excellency would like you to continue helping with…
