TVTranscript
00:05The people of Killipu belong to the Lingnan circuit of the Great Khan Dynasty
00:08and have been here for less than two generations since migrating.
00:11I thought there would be many ways to get rich.
00:13But looking at it now, I was overthinking.
00:17With this level of poverty,
00:19a slightly strong white
00:21could blow the house down.
00:47The cold cave bird is also known as the bird that searches a thousand miles for food but defecates in
00:51one spot.
00:52Its droppings are called five-spirit fungus.
00:54Apothecaries will pay over 40 copper coins an ounce for it.
00:57It is a treasure that turns into gold and silver.
01:03My son, you've finally returned.
01:05You've grown thin, so thin.
01:08Old Third is back.
01:10Sister-in-law, I'm back.
01:11Old Third, how was the shop?
01:13Old Third, what did you bring us?
01:16It was great.
01:20Father, I bought this tobacco for you.
01:22Mother, I bought this cloth for you.
01:24Sisters-in-law, these are ornaments for you.
01:27Children, these are toes and books for you.
01:29And some snacks as well.
01:31Old Third, you have truly grown up.
01:34Father's life has been worth it.
01:37My son, mother never dreamed
01:39that we could live a life like this.
01:41Old Third, what are your plans for the future?
01:44Father, I want to expand the business.
01:45Once I've saved enough money.
01:47I will renovate our house.
01:48And hire a tutor for the children.
01:50Let them study.
01:51Good.
01:51Father has been waiting for this day.
01:55From this day forward.
01:57No matter what difficulties I encounter.
01:59I will persevere.
02:08The deep mountains are full of wild beasts.
02:10Where did you get all this food?
02:11I picked it up by the roadside.
02:16Mother, I don't recognize all these fruits.
02:19Please help me pick through them to make sure they aren't poisonous.
02:21Why are these chestnuts so bitter and astringent?
02:23You never remember what I teach you.
02:25These are called monkey chestnuts.
02:26There are plenty in the mountains.
02:28Monkeys can eat them without issue.
02:29But if a person eats a few, they will die.
02:31Monkey chestnuts are everywhere in the future.
02:33But without processing, they are highly toxic.
02:35Everyone is helping out.
02:37You go over there too.
02:38I'm not going.
02:39If I go, I'll just end up doing the hard labor for others.
02:42Hasn't it been like this every year?
02:44In the end, it all went to the Song family.
02:46The original owner used to curry favor with the Song family.
02:48And he really did force his family to work for them.
02:50Thinking about it now, the old me was such a fool.
02:52They didn't treat me like a human being.
02:54And yet I was constantly running around looking for mountain delicacies for them.
02:57Now that I've been kicked out, I finally know who my real family is.
03:00Who is an outsider?
03:01Before, this beast even looked down on father and mother for being poor.
03:06How has he changed so much since coming back?
03:08Could it be true that he really intends to earn 20 strings of cash?
03:11From now on, the silver I earn, and the food I bring back, will all go to our Liu family.
03:15You brat, stop glaring at me with those big eyes.
03:17Hurry up and cook this food.
03:18Third uncle, why does it have to be me?
03:20You're a bachelor, why aren't you working?
03:22Do you expect me to support you for the rest of your life?
03:25Isn't third uncle a bachelor too?
03:29Just leave it for now.
03:30We'll talk about it tomorrow.
03:32Second sister-in-law is afraid we don't have enough grain.
03:35We must eat every meal we can.
03:36But the old matriarch won't let the niece eat.
03:38I don't have the heart for it.
03:40Second sister-in-law, let that boy Lulian go cook it.
03:42From now on, I'll take care of the food for this family.
03:45If mother doesn't give the word, no matter how much I say, it's useless.
03:48Mother, mother, please cook it.
03:50The child is starving.
03:51The leftovers in the house aren't enough either.
03:55Make a soup with the snake meat.
03:57Save the meat for old third to eat.
03:59Everyone else can have some broth.
04:02Mother, say less.
04:07Could he really be different from before?
04:15It really is true.
04:17How could these things not be worth a few pounds of rice?
04:20Bring it back and drink it sparingly.
04:23It could last us many days.
04:26This isn't right.
04:27This little brat has something good.
04:30And he's actually sharing it with us.
04:32Could he be up to something?
04:34He always used to eat everything by himself.
04:37Could he be trying to get eldest brother and second brother
04:39to go make a scene at the song house and bring the children back?
04:42He already let them get chased away.
04:44Sigh, the song family is not to be trifled with.
04:46Last time second brother got his backside kicked until it was swollen.
04:50At worst.
04:51Let eldest brother and second brother go again.
04:53Let them suffer a bit.
04:55Let them suffer.
05:05I tasted meat just now.
05:08I didn't even have time to chew before it was gone.
05:12It wasn't easy for third uncle to find food.
05:15I can't eat anymore.
05:18If we don't finish it,
05:20it will just be dumped for the wild dogs later.
05:26Delicious.
05:27This is the best thing in the world.
05:30You all go ahead and eat.
05:32I've had enough.
05:33In the past,
05:33at the dinner table,
05:35Mingyuan would always be the last one left.
05:38This.
05:40Could I be dreaming?
05:42Old third still has some left.
05:45Why don't you take it to the song house?
05:49If you don't need it.
05:51I'll just throw it outside for the wild dogs.
05:55Old third is truly different now.
06:01Father,
06:02I'm still eating,
06:03eating, eating.
06:03Your third uncle knows how to turn over a new leaf.
06:06Look at your own spineless self.
06:08Put it in father's room.
06:10Save it for tomorrow.
06:11So you don't get so full you can't even relieve yourself.
06:14Eldest brother won't eat this meal for nothing,
06:15old third.
06:16You,
06:17come with me to the song house.
06:19What are we doing at the song house?
06:21To fight them.
06:22Do they really think the men of the Liu family are all dead?
06:24Not just fight them.
06:25But we have to bring the younger siblings back too.
06:28We can't let them bully us.
06:29I have a few rowdy friends.
06:31They can help us make a show of force.
06:33If we don't settle this score,
06:34we aren't men.
06:37Old third.
06:38Are you still holding on to fantasies about the song family?
06:41Thinking of going back one day?
06:43I was a live-in son-in-law at the song house.
06:45I know their true colors better than anyone.
06:47Going head to head for revenge will only bring trouble upon ourselves.
06:50If I truly go to the song house,
06:51it will only be to bring my children back.
06:53I will find a way to get the children back.
06:55My most urgent priority right now
06:56is to fulfill the bed I made with sister-in-law.
06:58We can barely put food on the table as it is.
07:01Bringing the children back now would only mean more suffering.
07:05Old third still hasn't given up his fantasies about the song family.
07:09Not sending the nuts as a gift
07:10is purely because he can't swallow his pride.
07:12This eldest brother of the original owner once dreamed of joining the army,
07:15but to support the family,
07:16he was kicked into being a farmer by the old man.
07:18Back in the day, those tax collecting officials,
07:20I could take on three of them by myself.
07:22But every time I saw them,
07:23I had to bow and scrape.
07:25Sometimes I really wanted to kill a few.
07:26Just to vent my anger.
07:28With the drought as bad as it is,
07:29they're still thinking about bullying us common folks.
07:32They can't even calculate a simple tax record.
07:34What use are you?
07:37Gao Huo pulled them in for an inspection.
07:39He should've died long ago instead of letting you go.
07:41I've been sharpening my fork all day.
07:42Do you think you are?
07:43The eldest brother, the storyteller said,
07:45for heroes like us.
07:46When there is no opportunity,
07:48one must endure the loneliness.
07:49A little bitterness and fatigue don't matter.
07:51As long as we honor our parents,
07:52and take good care of our children, that's enough.
07:55Grievances, for people of our age,
07:57are not worth mentioning,
07:58but the world is vast.
07:59In every few decades,
08:00there is a great opportunity.
08:01That is when we will show our true skills.
08:03Old Third, how did that saying go again?
08:05The hidden dragon must not act.
08:06Right, that's it.
08:07The hidden dragon must not act.
08:08Don't look at how hard we're living now.
08:10But Old Third is back.
08:11Perhaps when the opportunity arrives,
08:13the three of us brothers will soar like dragons.
08:21You Dobdeyes get on your knees.
08:23How dare you bully Minuen?
08:25I think you've got a death wish.
08:32Sister area, stop hitting him.
08:34I was wrong.
08:36I won't speak out of turn ever again.
08:58Brother Minuen.
09:00Come here, look.
09:01I've settled the score for you.
09:08Hand it over.
09:15It's from my own house.
09:16I've brought out a gin of rations.
09:18As compensation for Brother Minuen.
09:29Brother Minuen.
09:30Make sure you take this grain sack.
09:38If anyone bullies you again,
09:41just tell me.
09:43See if I don't chop them to pieces.
09:44Jairia liked the Minuen.
09:46But he was a vain man.
09:47He went to the Son family to be a live-in son-in-law.
09:49And Aria was left heartbroken.
09:50She married the first man she could find.
09:52A few years ago,
09:53her husband went up the mountain for firewood,
09:55was bitten by a venomous snake,
09:56and she became a widow.
10:04Aria.
10:06Why must you be like this?
10:17Third uncle,
10:18you used to care so much about face and reputation.
10:21Even though you've fallen on hard times,
10:23you never thought much of Zhao Aria.
10:25You felt that being associated with her,
10:27would disgrace a scholar.
10:30Now the Liu family is running out of food.
10:32And this bit of rice,
10:34will let the family have to full meals.
10:36It's just that having taken Aria's stings.
10:39I feel uneasy about it.
10:41Just keep it,
10:42why don't you?
10:42We already owe Aria a favor anyway.
10:44A little more won't change that.
10:46Once I make my fortune,
10:47I'll find her a good husband.
10:49And if I can't make it big,
10:50we'll just send Liangzi over,
10:52to settle the debt.
10:55Second uncle,
10:55what are you saying?
10:57Why send me and not third uncle?
11:00Why not?
11:01I think it suits you very well.
11:11How dare they insult you!
11:13Third uncle,
11:13I think you little brat need a lesson.
11:19Stop!
11:28The children...
11:30The film was translated and narrated by M Media.
11:36Grinding tiger lily and real girl into powder,
11:38is a lethal weapon for snake catching.
11:40In a famine,
11:41food is the problem.
11:42Snake meat should fetch some silver.
11:43My nephew is frail.
11:44But luckily he's good at his studies.
11:46Once I earn some money,
11:47I'll send him to school.
11:53Third uncle,
11:54Does the snake help me?
11:55Did you hear something?
12:01Attention!
12:07Careful!
12:09Third uncle.
12:10The snake is venomous.
12:12No matter.
12:16Third uncle.
12:19Is this really my third uncle who never did farm work?
12:26Fortune favors the bold
12:29There are many snakes in the mountains around Killipue
12:32And Coxcombe Ridge is a snake mountain
12:35People from the surrounding villages don't dare come here
12:37Luckily, I was a soldier in my past life and know how to catch snakes
12:41Five Spirit Resin and Rilgar
12:43Are enough to handle ordinary venomous snakes
13:02Third uncle
13:10A cold snake
13:12A prized pet for the nobility to escape the summer heat
13:14A live cold snake is worth 20 strings of cash
13:16And that's just the price in the countryside
13:18If we sell it in Chang'an, it could fetch at least 200 strings of cash
13:27We're rich
13:29This is great
13:30To bet can be fulfilled
13:32And if we sell the rest of the snakes, we can build a new thatch cottage
13:35No more crowding in with the little ones
13:37Come on, third uncle is taking you to town for a feast
13:42They actually came out of Coxcombe Ridge
13:44That place is dangerous
13:45It's a snake mountain
13:46Look at how much they have in their basket
13:48I'd be scared to death just going in there
13:49Isn't this just handing me money on a silver platter?
13:55There's so much here, it must be worth a lot
13:58But that's snake meat
14:00Look at my homemade snake staff
14:02Once we go into the mountains, we can catch all we want
14:05You're lying, right?
14:06How could such a medicine be so effective?
14:08Brother, you can't go
14:10Third uncle, you mustn't
14:12This is our family's secret recipe
14:14It's sold out
14:15How will we go into the mountains to catch snakes next time?
14:18Still, I can't just watch them
14:20Starve to death
14:21If there's money to be made, we should all share in it
14:23Young man, you aren't as honest as your third uncle
14:25Boss, I'll take this snake medicine
14:27How much for a packet?
14:2950 copper coins
14:30You must be crazy for money
14:3250 copper coins for such a small packet?
14:37Wait, hold on
14:39Is this snake medicine really effective?
14:47See these?
14:48I caught them myself
14:49We've earned enough for today
14:50There's still quite a bit of medicine left
14:52Thinking that we're all neighbors and kin
14:54I'll let everyone share in the good fortune
14:56If you're not willing, go up the mountain yourself
14:58But stay far away from Coxcomb Ridge
14:59There are far too many venomous snakes there
15:01Let's go
15:02Can you lower the price, kid?
15:04The famine is severe this year
15:06The outskirts of the mountains have been picked clean by everyone
15:08If you want to talk about the richest parts of the mountains
15:10It has to be Coxcomb Ridge
15:12But there are too many venomous snakes there
15:14Most people wouldn't dare go deep inside
15:16If one could have an effective herbal medicine
15:18One could truly give it a try
15:20Fine, I'll buy it
15:22Give me one packet of medicine
15:24I'll take two
15:29So third uncle really meant it when he said he'd earn 20 strings of cash
15:32It's true
15:36Second uncle
15:39Second brother, why are you here?
15:42Your sister-in-law was worried you wouldn't be able to get the money
15:45So she had me bring two pieces of her dowry
15:46To sell in town
15:47It's worth two whole strings of cash
15:50You brat, if you dare to blabber about this
15:52Watch out or I'll thrash you
15:54Second uncle, you worry too much
15:56My trip into the mountains with third uncle
15:58Was very fruitful, just look
16:02How many times have I told you?
16:03Coxcomb Ridge, it is so dangerous
16:05What if something happens?
16:06If you dare to go back there
16:08I'll thrash you
16:08Second uncle
16:09If you're going to thrash me
16:11Shouldn't we sell these first?
16:12If we wait too long
16:13They won't be fresh
16:16Small sellers like us have no shops willing to buy
16:18We can only sell them piecemeal at the market
16:20Prices are low in town
16:21Surely someone from the county seat will come here to buy
16:24Maybe we can sell them by setting up a stall
16:26Step right up, don't miss out
16:28A real clearance sale
16:29Everything is cheap
16:31Everything is a bargain
16:32Small ones for one string of cash
16:34Large ones for two strings of cash
16:35How much is this dragon meat?
16:44I risked my life to catch these snakes
16:46Decides, in business
16:48The cheaper it is, the harder it is to sell
16:49Second brother, selling is all about fate
16:52Trust me
16:52There will be a taker
16:54No, someone who knows their value will buy them
16:56You've been clever since you were a child
16:58I'll listen to you
16:58We'll surely sell them
17:07If we wait any longer
17:09The snake meat won't be fresh
17:10Are we really going to
17:12Sell them at a low price?
17:13How are these snakes sold?
17:16To strings of cash
17:17Not a copper lass
17:20Young man
17:20Can you lower the price now?
17:24Fine
17:26Holy cow
17:27A connoisseur has arrived
17:28Then I won't stand on ceremony
17:30These are all quality goods
17:31But this price
17:32Isn't exactly cheap in this town
17:34My good sir
17:35How many are you planning to buy?
17:37I'll take them all
17:38Naturally
17:40Do you doubt my ability to pay?
17:42Including this cold snake
17:43I'll charge you 28 strings of cash
17:45How about it?
17:46Shall you pack them all up?
17:47Heavens
17:47There really is a wealthy fool
17:49Spending so much money on these snakes
17:50This cold snake must be an exotic species
17:52Its habits are different from those in Da Kang
17:54If you want to sell it for a good price later
17:56You'll have to care for it carefully
17:57If it dies
17:58I won't compensate you
18:03Can you break a large bill?
18:05I cannot
18:05If not
18:06We'll settle the bill once you've taken them out
18:09Here's two strings of cash for you
18:12One must naturally cultivate relationships
18:14With such people
18:15They've extended an olive branch
18:16They certainly wouldn't care about these two strings of cash
18:19And yet
18:19Such a good opportunity
18:20Was thrown away by that brat Liu Yun
18:22Liu Yun
18:23You brat
18:23You really don't understand the ways of the world at all
18:26My good sir
18:26I'm from near Killipue
18:28There are plenty of mountain goats at Coxcombe Ridge
18:30If there's more stock in the future
18:31Will you still want it?
18:33Naturally
18:33I will
18:34But I would prefer them to be alive
18:35Live ones are no problem
18:37Though the price might be slightly higher
18:40Money is not an issue
18:41However
18:41I need you to deliver them to the county seat
18:43This is a long-term client
18:45We must secure this client
18:46Then we'll never have to worry
18:48About filling our bellies again
18:50Which shop is it?
18:51The way trading firm
18:53Isn't that in Jonjo?
18:54Why would they have business in this backwater?
18:56Back when I was in the county seat
18:58Helping the Song family
19:00I never heard of the way trading firm
19:01Could it be
19:02That the Imperial Corps
19:03Is planning large-scale development in Lingnan?
19:05As a merchant in my past life
19:07I was particularly sensitive
19:08To policies and such
19:10Because if you're even slightly involved
19:11Your whole family can be well-fed
19:13Second brother
19:13I'm going to expand my
19:15Business in the future
19:16When that time comes
19:16I'll likely need to trouble you to join me
19:18After all
19:19The world is a lawless place
19:20What kind of pipe dream are you having?
19:22And another thing
19:22If I ever catch you going to Coxcombe Ridge again
19:24I will break your legs
19:25Let's head home
19:26What's the rush?
19:27Now that we've made some money
19:28Shouldn't we improve our lives a bit?
19:30I plan to keep two or three strings of cash from these thirty
19:32And give the rest to the family
19:34This money
19:34Should at least make things a little easier at home
19:36Just a little improvement
19:39Forget it
19:40Old Third
19:40This money looks like a lot
19:41But given our family situation
19:43We still need to be frugal
19:44We must let Old Third know the state of the household
19:46This brat is already thinking about luxuries after making some money
19:49He must be
19:50Planning to keep risking his life on the mountain
19:51It's too dangerous
19:52We can't let him go
19:53I have plenty of ways to make money
19:55Just rest easy
19:56I can promise you
19:57I won't go up the mountain to catch snakes anymore
19:59Not going to catch snakes?
20:00Then why were you asking that wealthy man all those questions?
20:03For people like us
20:03Living in a small
20:04Poor house
20:05Besides such a desperate method
20:06What other way is there to make money?
20:08We'll rent a cart
20:09Buy a few bags of rice and flour
20:10And put some fatty meat on the cart
20:12Let the neighbors see that
20:13In these parts
20:15Our snake hatching
20:17Actually brought in such a bounty
20:18What do you think their reaction will be?
20:24Let's find a place to eat first
20:26Then start our shopping
20:28Third uncle
20:29Earning money isn't easy
20:30Let's just go home and eat
20:32We've been at it all day
20:33With nothing in our bellies
20:35How are we supposed to get back?
20:37Don't forget we still have to do our shopping
20:41Lamb soup
20:43Why does Old Third waste money in such a manner?
20:45Let's just buy two flatbreads at a stall
20:47That will be enough
20:49Don't worry about it, boss
20:51Bring us three large bowls of mutton soup
20:53And six immortal flatbreads
20:54Coming right up, guests
20:56Please, just a moment
20:57Old Third, what is an immortal flatbread?
21:00It is merely the sliced mutton
21:01Spread over the flatbread
21:02With spices and fermented beans added in the middle
21:05And a drizzle of ghee
21:06Then baked in the oven until ready
21:08The film was translated and narrated by a media
21:10I read in a book
21:11That in Faisa, there's a type of fried flatbread
21:15Filled with crab roe
21:16Seasoned with five spices and fine flour
21:19Around here, we call it crab roe belouro
21:22Truly, for a man
21:24The greatest suffering is knowing too much
21:27Your horizons are broadened
21:28Yet you can never attain it
21:39Boss, may I ask you something?
21:41Young man, say it
21:42Do you know which town around here has people who raise snakes?
21:45It used to be the Nani barbarians who raised them
21:47But after the Great Kang Southern Expedition
21:49The Nani barbarians fled
21:50And no one knows the craft anymore
21:52In recent years, people have often come here asking
21:54I recall
21:55At the Song family's apothecary
21:57Years ago
21:57Someone snuck in to sell snakes
21:59He looks like someone from Nanyu who crossed the border
22:01So
22:02Why don't they go to Nanyu to buy them?
22:04The imperial court has declared Nanyu a forbidden land
22:06Who would dare go there to buy anything?
22:1175 copper coins for one meal
22:13It really makes one's heartache
22:23Third uncle, look
22:25There's an old man selling a bondman at the crossroads
22:27Let's go over and take a look
22:29I'm heading to Chang'an to enjoy my retirement
22:31This bondman is useless to me now
22:33Anyone want to buy him?
22:34Just one string of cash
22:36You beast, who told you to rest?
22:37Keep playing
22:42Who wants to buy?
22:43The price is negotiable
22:44I can talk
22:45I can barely feed myself
22:47How could I have money to feed him?
22:48Such a big bondman
22:49If you don't play properly
22:51I'll kill you today
22:52Isn't this bondman just an Indian?
22:53Snake charming is their specialty
22:55You actually want to buy a bondman?
22:56I'm telling you, old third
22:58Don't be impulsive
22:59We're struggling to eat as it is
23:00We have no money for this sort of thing
23:02That's right, old third
23:03If you really want to buy him
23:05You can definitely wait
23:06The drought is continuing to worsen
23:08And there will only be more people selling their children
23:10I heard a few days ago
23:12A few days ago
23:13That's who Daikai-ing in our village sold his daughter
23:15For only 300 copper coins
23:16This bondman is a treasure
23:18That thing in his hand is called the snake flute
23:20People like him are intimately familiar with the habits of snakes
23:22I'm planning to start a snake-related business
23:24And I happen to need an assistant
23:25Is this name dark-skinned and tear-stained?
23:28Really that strange?
23:29Then you should haggle with the old man
23:30No one else is buying
23:31Honorable sir
23:32Go, go
23:33My bondman is one string of cash
23:35You look like a pauper
23:36Don't waste my time
23:37How did we deceive you?
23:38We sincerely want to buy it
23:39He has the fishy stench of a venomous snake on him
23:41I can smell it
23:42And you have Rialgar hidden in your sleeve
23:44Specifically for repelling snakes
23:46So you've got your eye on this bondman's skills
23:47Wanting him to catch snakes for you
23:49You commoner
23:50Honorable sir
23:51You have a sharp eye
23:53I did indeed do the work of a snake catcher today
23:55But
23:55Asking this bondman to go catch snakes with you
23:57Is asking a bit much of him
23:59Look at him
24:00He's on his last legs
24:02It's not even certain how long he'll live
24:04What if this bondman dies from a snake bite?
24:07Wouldn't my money be wasted?
24:08My good sir
24:09You can't say it like that
24:11This bondman of mine is quite sturdy
24:13He's just exhausted from playing the flute earlier
24:16If you don't believe me
24:17Give him a punch
24:18See if he moves
24:20You
24:21The bondman is currently suffering from severe hunger
24:23It looks like he has heat stroke too
24:25Young man
24:26You see
24:27My bondman still has his merits
24:28At the very least
24:29He can speak Korean
24:30If you give a bit more
24:31Old man
24:32Have you no shame
24:33This bondman of yours
24:34It's not even certain if he can pull through
24:35And you actually want to sell him?
24:37Don't be like that
24:38Didn't you say 300 copper coins earlier?
24:40Fine
24:40I'll sell him to you for 200
24:41This bondman only has a touch of heat stroke
24:43He will surely recover
24:44Just the cost of the medicine to treat the heat stroke
24:46Would be enough to buy several bondman
24:48If you think he can pull through
24:49Then let him try
24:50100 copper coins
24:51How about 100?
24:54Let's cool him down first
24:55Truly disgraceful
24:57Drink some water
25:03Honorable sir
25:05This is the 100 copper coins
25:07Good, good, good
25:08I had already offered 100 copper coins
25:11If I were to go back on my word now
25:13It would be rather unseemly
25:25This is actually the magistrate of this county
25:27This name
25:29I have seen it before on the Song family's gift list
25:31So it is the former magistrate
25:33This student has been disrespectful
25:34I rarely share my name
25:36With those around me
25:38An ordinary person shouldn't be able to recognize me
25:40How did you know I was the former magistrate?
25:44Years ago
25:45This student
25:46Was a scholar in this county
25:47I was fortunate enough to receive your guidance
25:51I have always regarded you as a role model
25:53I see
25:55Very well, continue
25:56You are the former magistrate
25:57I truly cannot bear to see
25:59That you don't even have the travel expenses to reach Shanann
26:01Here is a bank note for 10 strings of cash
26:03I hope this helps you through your difficulties
26:05Young man
26:06Have you lost your mind?
26:07Do you know that once I leave for Chang'an
26:08I will never return?
26:10And what of it?
26:10This student offers you travel money
26:12Tearly out of gratitude
26:13For your past hard work for this county
26:14If I were still in office
26:16I would never dare accept your 10 strings of cash
26:18But now that I am free of official duties
26:19Accepting the sincerity of a former student
26:21Is quite acceptable
26:22Here, take this letter of recommendation
26:24If you ever need help
26:26You can go to the county office to find the new magistrate
26:32Honorable official
26:33As I have nothing else to offer
26:37I shall gift you a song of farewell
26:38Guys, how much food will he consume?
26:40Go buy another bowl of mutton soup
26:42And to flatbreads
26:44What is your name?
26:47Sam
26:48Selling mutton soup
26:51Selling flatbreads
26:54I have been abandoned
26:57This is the contract
26:58You are now my servant
27:04Thank you, master
27:10Sam, drink some more water
27:13Liu Yun, go buy real girl and salt
27:15Buy as much as you can
27:17Second brother, go buy some meat and bones
27:19After everyone is done shopping
27:21Meet back here at the crossroads
27:29The women of our family have suffered for years
27:32It is time to buy them some jewelry
27:39I was sold to the great Kang
27:41I have no one to rely on but my master
27:43I must perform well to stay
27:53The children in the family are too thin
27:55We must buy some chickens and ducks to raise for eggs
27:57To nourish the children
28:01On third, our family has struck it rich this time
28:05Third uncle, let's go home quickly
28:07Father and mother will be overjoyed
28:09When they see these things
28:11Let's go, let's head home
28:13From today on
28:14You are a member of the Liu family
28:17Today's trip was a success
28:21We earned money and bought goats
28:23And we even gained Sam
28:24The real path to wealth is still ahead
28:28The Wei trading company
28:29The letter from the former magistrate
28:31I must plan this carefully
28:34Old third has truly changed
28:35He used to only care about himself
28:38Now, he has the whole family in his heart
28:41I hope he has truly awakened
28:43Let's hope he doesn't disappoint the family again
28:45Liu family, I am back
28:47This time, I will not let you suffer again
28:49The Liu family
29:01Old third, where did all this come from?
29:05Son, you
29:06Did you go and rob someone?
29:09Mother, child
29:10I told you I was going to make a fortune today
29:12And haven't I brought it back?
29:15Third uncle, is this all for our family?
29:21Sister-in-law, regarding the bet
29:23I am fulfilling it today
29:2520 strings of cash
29:29Not a single coin missing
29:30Old third, I was just speaking in anger that day
29:34Sister-in-law, I know that all these years
29:37You have given so much for this family
29:39And suffered so many grievances
29:41This money is not from a bet
29:43It is a small token of my heart for our family
29:48Old third, you've done well
29:55Mother, this is for you
29:56Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law
29:59This is for you
30:02The children
30:03This is for you
30:07Son, who is this bondman?
30:10Mother
30:11His name is Sam
30:12He is a new servant for our family
30:14He will help with the work from now on
30:17Greetings, matriarch
30:20Good, good, good
30:21Since you are here, you are family
30:24Old third, tell your father the truth
30:25Where did this money come from?
30:27Father, I went to Coxcomb Ridge to catch snakes today
30:30I sold a few valuable ones
30:31And earned over 20 strings of cash
30:33Coxcomb Ridge, have you lost your mind?
30:35Father, don't worry
30:36I won't go there again
30:37I met a noble person from the way trading company today
30:39Who said they want left snakes
30:40I can deliver them to the county town
30:42I bought Sam
30:43He knows how to handle snakes
30:44And understands their habits
30:46We can raise snakes from now on
30:47And won't have to risk our lives in the mountains
30:49As long as you know what you're doing
30:50I am old and cannot control you
30:52But remember, your life is more important than money
30:54Father, I will remember
30:55Old third, if you need help, just say the word
30:57Second uncle, I actually do
30:59Starting tomorrow, we will build a snake shed in the courtyard
31:02And prepare to raise snakes
31:03This is my first home in the Great Con
31:05Although it is dilapidated
31:06Although it is dilapidated
31:07There are people here who treat me with sincerity
31:09From tomorrow on
31:10I will make this home look completely different
31:12The Liu family
31:20Sam, what are you drawing?
31:23Master, I am drawing the snake shed
31:25This is how we build them in my hometown
31:28Old third
31:28What are you doing so early in the morning?
31:31Elder brother
31:31Second brother
31:32We are building a snake shed today
31:33Third uncle
31:34I will help you
31:35I will help too
31:39It needs ventilation
31:40It needs shade here
31:41Put the water base in here
31:43Should we set up an altar?
31:44This old third
31:45In the few days since he returned
31:47It's like he's a different person
31:48Indeed
31:49He used to be too lazy to move
31:51But now he's the most diligent
31:54With the snake shed
31:55We can raise snakes
31:57And raising snakes will bring a steady income
31:59This family will surely get better and better
32:04Third uncle
32:05Won't these snakes bite people?
32:07With Sam here
32:08There is no need to worry
32:17Old third has truly grown up
32:18And become sensible
32:20This family finally has something to look forward to
32:24Transmigrated into this famine year
32:25Abandoned and mocked
32:28But now I have a family
32:30A career
32:31And a goal
32:32This is the life I want
32:35Brother Minjuan
32:36I heard you made a fortune catching snakes
32:38Can you teach us?
32:40You want to catch snakes too?
32:42Yes
32:43There is a famine this year
32:45And the fields have no harvest
32:46We must find a way to survive
32:48Watching you
32:49Running to town several times these days
32:50And bringing things back every time
32:53We are envious
32:54Exactly
32:54Exactly
32:55I heard a snake can sell for dozens of copper coins
32:57Much better than farming
32:58Catching snakes is fine
33:00But you need the skill
33:01This is not a game
33:03If you get bitten
33:04At best
33:04You swell for days
33:05At worst
33:06It costs your life
33:08I have snake medicine here
33:1050 copper coins a packet
33:11Buy it to save your life
33:12Rub it on your body before entering the mountains
33:14And the snakes will run away
33:15When they smell it
33:16Brother Minjuan
33:17About the misunderstanding the other day
33:19I have felt guilty about it
33:21Let's not talk about the past
33:22Are you buying or not?
33:24If not
33:24Move aside
33:25There are others behind waiting to buy
33:27Bye
33:27Bye
33:36Old third
33:37This money is easy to earn
33:38Father
33:39This is just the beginning
33:40Once we start raising snakes
33:41We can mix our own snake medicine
33:43And earn even more
33:44By then
33:44We won't just sell medicine
33:45We can also sell snake gall
33:47Snake skin
33:47And snake me
33:48Every single part is money
33:50Good
33:50Good
33:50Good as long as you know what you're doing
33:52I was just afraid you were young
33:53And being deceived
33:54Father
33:54I want to go to the county town again
33:56Why go to the county town?
33:57I need to greet the way trading company
33:59And there is the letter from the former magistrate
34:01That must be delivered to the county office
34:03Go then
34:03Be careful on the road
34:13I'm off
34:20These are flatbreads
34:22And a few eggs
34:23Eat them on the road
34:25Sister-in-law
34:26Thank you
34:26Old third
34:27Being the eldest sister-in-law doesn't suit you anymore
34:30Sister-in-law
34:31We are family
34:32No need for formalities
34:33I'm off
34:39This child is truly different now
34:43To officers
34:44Please pass on a message
34:45Student Liu Minuan has a work from an old acquaintance
34:48To be entrusted to the magistrate
34:51Give it here
35:00Wait
35:02District government office
35:06You are Liu Minuan
35:07The letter from the former magistrate
35:08I have read it sit
35:12The former magistrate speaks highly of you in the letter
35:14Saying you are a scholar of integrity and righteousness
35:16You are too kind
35:17Magistrate
35:18This student is merely mindful of
35:19The teachings of my elders from years past
35:21It is rarely spoken of
35:23Is there anything this official can assist you with?
35:25This student wishes to ask
35:26Magistrate
35:27Does the imperial court intend
35:28To develop the Lingnan circuit recently?
35:30You are quite sharp
35:31Indeed
35:31The court does intend to encourage migration
35:33The development of Lingnan is still in the planning stages
35:35How did you come to know this?
35:37This student
35:38Heard of the way trading firm appearing locally
35:39And I surmised
35:40It might be in preparation for the court's development
35:42You have insight
35:43Why have you come to see me?
35:44This student wishes to start a small business in the county town
35:47And hopes for your favor
35:48Magistrate
35:49Business
35:49Are you not a scholar?
35:51Scholarship is for fame and status
35:53But business is for supporting one's family
35:54This student believes the two are not in conflict
35:57Very well
35:58I have noted this
35:59You may go now
36:00If you have matters to attend to
36:02You may come to me
36:06Very well
36:07We shall stay here for now
36:09Until the situation settles
36:16So you are the proprietor
36:17Sir
36:18Little brother
36:18You have arrived
36:19I was just about to send someone to find you
36:21Proprietor
36:22Is the cold snake still doing well?
36:23It is doing very well
36:24Someone has already offered a high price to reserve it
36:27The customer came from the prefectural city
36:29Specializing in collecting these rare items
36:30The price offered
36:31Was double what I paid you
36:32Little brother
36:33Do you have any more stock?
36:34If you do
36:35I will take it all
36:36The price is negotiable
36:37I have no lav ones for the moment
36:39Large snakes in the mountains are hard to find
36:41And the small ones are not worth the effort
36:43However
36:43I am preparing to farm snakes
36:45Farm snakes?
36:46Can you actually do that?
36:47This creature is not easy to tend to
36:48Right
36:49I can
36:49I have purchased a bondman
36:50And he knows how to raise them
36:51Excellent
36:52Little brother
36:53As long as you can raise them
36:54I will buy them all
36:55The price is open to discussion
36:57When the time comes
36:58I will take as many as you have
36:59I will certainly not treat you unfairly
37:01Then many thanks for your patronage
37:02Proprietor
37:03In a few days
37:04I will bring some over
37:05You can inspect them before we settle on a price
37:07Agreed
37:07I shall hold you to that
37:20Master
37:20Master
37:20Why are you buying seeds?
37:21Are we not raising snakes?
37:23Farming requires more than just snake raising
37:24We must diversify our efforts
37:26Snakes cannot be caught in the fields every day
37:28Cultivating wealth is the long-term path
37:30Decides
37:30Snake raising requires space
37:32Planting some vegetables in the courtyard
37:33Will also be convenient for the family
37:35Master
37:36You are truly brilliant
37:37My previous master never thought of such things
37:39Sam
37:40Remember this
37:41To live a good life
37:42One must use their head
37:44Relying on brute force alone
37:45Is not enough
37:46Now that we have a path forward
37:47We must build our family fortune step by step
37:49I will remember that
37:50Master
37:51Following you gives me peace of mind
37:55Is that you third son?
37:58Mother
37:58Why are you outside so late?
38:00Worrying about you my son
38:03Did it go well?
38:03You were in the county town for so long
38:06My heart has been hanging by a thread
38:08It went well
38:09Mother
38:09Let us go inside to talk
38:16This family is finally going to be alright
38:19Old third
38:19You have grown up
38:20In these days since I arrived
38:22I have had to strive to become the pillar of this family
38:24I have no choice but to work hard
38:26Because there are people here who treat me with sincerity
38:28And a home that I must protect
38:29I must work even harder
38:31To make this family truly prosperous
38:36Old third
38:38What are we doing today?
38:40Why would eldest brother join the army?
38:44Today
38:44We are going to clear the wasteland
38:46I have bought seeds
38:47And I intend to plant something
38:50What are we planting?
38:51Oak trees
38:54Acorns can serve as food
38:55And they can also be used to brew wine
38:57I found a few on the mountain
38:58We shall transplant some back here
39:00In two years
39:01We will see a harvest
39:08Master
39:09There is a snake
39:14Do not fear
39:15It is a grass snake
39:15Non-venomous
39:38Third uncle
39:38How do you know so much?
39:43Read more and use your mind
39:46Everything is in the books
39:48It only depends on whether you are willing to learn
39:56This bondman
39:57Knows how to be grateful better than many others
40:00From now on
40:01He is also part of the Liu family
40:03Sister Aria
40:04Why have you come?
40:05I heard you have made a fortune
40:06So I came to see these are eggs from my home
40:09Take them to nourish yourself
40:12Sister Aria
40:12How could I accept this?
40:14Why be so modest?
40:16We grew up together
40:18Like siblings
40:20Aria is here
40:21Sit sick quickly
40:23Sister Aria
40:24Do you not have a husband at home?
40:26You are always running to other people's houses
40:28Are you not afraid of gossip?
40:31Madam Chen
40:32What do you mean by that?
40:34I mean nothing by it
40:35Just reminding you to mind your manners
40:37Sister Aria came to bring us eggs
40:39Sister Aria
40:40I accept the eggs
40:41Thank you
40:50I know Mingyuan
40:54I only wish for you to do well
41:03Opening a shop must require quite a bit of capital, right?
41:05We have the capital
41:06The serpent sap can be mixed ourselves
41:08And the snakes can be raised ourselves
41:10The costs are low
41:11But the profits are substantial
41:12Old Third
41:13Are you certain about this?
41:14The way trading firm
41:15Is willing to cooperate with us
41:16The county office has also been notified
41:18As long as we work hard
41:20It will surely succeed
41:21Old Third go ahead and do it
41:22Father supports you
41:23Sam
41:24Come with me to the county town in a few days
41:26We are opening a shop
41:27Really master?
41:28Really
41:29From now on
41:29You are the shop's proprietor
41:31I cannot
41:31I do not know
41:33You can learn
41:34You understand snakes
41:35And know how to handle them
41:36Our shop
41:36Will rely on your expertise
41:38I heard Old Third is opening a shop again
41:40They say he wants to rent a storefront in town
41:43To specialize in snake medicine and skins
41:47Eldest brother went to inquire about it today
41:50Yes, that is what Eldest brother said
41:51This boy has only been back a few days
41:54And he is already raising snakes
41:56And opening a shop
41:57It is like he is a different person
42:00Sister-in-law
42:01Haven't you always hoped Old Third would change?
42:03Yes, indeed
42:04I have hoped for so many years
42:06And finally
42:07It has come to pass
42:09I used to think this child had no future
42:11But now we as his elders
42:13Can hardly keep up with him
42:15Opening the shop is just the beginning
42:16Once the shop is stable
42:18We will expand the farming
42:19And open a workshop
42:20Everything must be carefully considered
42:34Old Third, here are the rations I made
42:36Take it with you to eat on the way
42:38Thank you, Sister-in-law
42:40I leave the house in your capable hands
42:41Third Uncle, when will you be back?
42:44I will be back in a few days
42:45Work hard at home
42:46Help your mother
42:47And look after the family
42:48Do not be lazy
42:49Understood
42:54Master, where shall we go first?
42:58Let us find the storefront first
43:00We need a place to settle down
43:02Only then can the business truly begin
43:05The new residence
43:06Here is the D
43:13Sam, from today on
43:15This is our shop
43:16From now on
43:17This is our home in the county town
43:19Master, this is wonderful
43:21Little brother
43:22I heard you found a storefront
43:24I heard this morning
43:25That a shop on East Street was just rented out
43:27I guessed it was you
43:29Yes
43:29It was settled today
43:31It is not far from you
43:32It will be convenient to visit
43:33Good
43:34We are neighbors now
43:36If you need any help
43:37Just say the word
43:37Do not be a stranger
43:38Many thanks, proprietor
43:40I have come this time
43:41To discuss a long-term partnership
43:43Our business will be frequent
43:44So we need a formal arrangement
43:46Very well
43:47Come, sit and let us talk
43:48Little brother, I believe in you
43:49You are young
43:51Yet steady in your work
43:52And reasonable in your speech
43:54Work hard
43:55Your future is bright
43:56Many thanks for your support
43:58Proprietor
44:02Master
44:02The Liu family
44:03Am I truly capable of this?
44:06Sam
44:06Believe in yourself
44:09You understand snakes
44:10And know how to handle them
44:12There is no one else
44:13In the entire county
44:14Who is better suited
44:14To be this proprietor
44:18Neighbors
44:19This brother Liu is my business partner
44:22His snake medicine and products
44:23Are of the highest quality
44:25Please support him
44:30That's great
44:35This snake medicine is truly effective
44:37I rely on it whenever I forage in the mountains
44:39Indeed, I have bought several packs
44:41I encountered a large snake last time
44:43And after applying this medicine
44:44The snake turned and fled
44:49This is just the beginning
44:50It will only get better
44:51Once our reputation spreads
44:52People from surrounding villages
44:54Will come to buy
44:55Master
44:55You are truly brilliant
44:56I never imagined I could be a proprietor
44:59Sam
44:59Remember
45:00As long as you are willing to learn and work
45:02Nothing is impossible
45:03From now on
45:04The shop is in your hands
45:05Let us work hard
45:06Now that we have our own shop
45:09And our own business
45:12This path has not been easy

45:51Son, mother
45:51Never dreamed
45:53That we could live such a life

46:02And hire a tutor for the children
46:03So they can study
46:04Good
46:05Father has been waiting for this day
