The two craftsmen, who had drunk the herbal medicine, came to the wooden board and were surprised to recognize the natural lacquer tree sap.
Unexpectedly, in this remote and impoverished area of the South Island, someone actually recognized them. Hearing that the Feng brothers were able to collect the samples under Ruan Meng's guidance, he expressed his sincere admiration for Ruan Meng.
In the past, although they had been varnished, it was always with the addition of herbs or other additives, so their bodies did not react.
They had heard of the power of natural lacquer tree sap but had never witnessed it. Now that they were close by and there was no reaction, they realized it was thanks to the herbs they had previously used.
Ruan Mengdong described how they used their own tools to apply layers of paint to the wooden boards.
Feng Yun and Feng Xi were skilled; the seams between the wooden boards were barely visible. The craftsmen removed the long nails and re-nailed them in, making it look almost as if it were naturally formed.
Ruan Meng noticed this and couldn't help but take note.
The craftsmen were meticulous; after brushing both sides, they lifted it up to take a look and found it flawless, as shiny as a bronze mirror.
Feng Yun and Feng Xi carried it, and Ruan Meng asked the craftsmen to hang ropes on the wooden planks in advance, fix long nails firmly on the wall, and then carry the painted wooden planks outside to dry.
The craftsman noticed that the wooden planks were intended for use in a school and asked curiously:
"Young lady, is the lacquer on the wooden board for warding off evil spirits?"
Ruan Meng was drinking water and almost spat it out.
"Wait until tonight, you'll witness a miracle!"
This was the first time He Cong had been ordered around like this. Time was of the essence, and Xiao Kai had also conveyed a message that Ruan Meng wanted He Cong to come over as soon as possible.
Based on He Cong's understanding of Ruan Meng, she wouldn't make things difficult for no reason; there must be an important reason why she asked him to go.
Therefore, he attached great importance to it and personally supervised the process. He received the plaster pen in a wooden box after dark and rushed to Fengjia Village with Xiaokai.
The painted wooden boards have dried, and the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother already know where Ruan Meng is seated.
They had vivid imaginations; the eldest brother guessed the purpose, but couldn't think of anything that would fit it.
The older brother asked, "Little sister, if I write on it with a calligraphy brush, can I wash it off?"
Ruan Meng shook her head, and her elder brother looked puzzled.
The second son asked, "Is it used to stick book pages on it?"
That's one way of thinking, Ruan Meng continued to shake her head.
The third brother asked, "Is that... like a mirror, so that Mr. can see the students' little tricks?"
Ruan Meng was horrified. Third Brother, you're terrifying!
The second son glanced at the third son and said, "You were in your early childhood education, and what you hated most was that the teacher was always around and said such scary things!"
Everyone present laughed, and the carriage stopped inside.
Xiao Kai came first to deliver the message, welcoming his young master in so that he could meet Ruan Qian and the others, before going to inform the young master.
Upon hearing this, Sun Chengen came out to greet them, and Sun Mu'en also got up to move around. He Cong was overjoyed to see them.
Sun Mu'en's complexion and movements visibly improved, and He Cong repeatedly thanked Ruan Meng and her brother.
The craftsmen were not used to such formalities, and they stared anxiously at the box that Xiao Kai was carrying.
Ruan Meng smiled and invited the group to come and see for themselves.
Because Sun Mu'en was weak, Ruan Meng asked her second and third brothers to bring out the "blackboard" and show it to everyone, while Sun Mu'en stood far at the back.
Xiao Kai handed over the box, and Ruan Meng took out two sticks, giving one to her eldest brother and the other to her second brother.
"Try writing it."
The elder brother made a stroke, his eyes showing surprise.
The second child drew a leaf and looked at his hand in surprise.
Ruan Meng showed her third brother the blackboard eraser that the carpenter had made, with a wooden surface and a cotton cloth for contact, and reminded him to wipe it.
The third brother, with a burst of brute force, swung his sword twice, and the mark on the "blackboard" was completely gone.
The eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother were all surprised!
Sun Chengen turned his head slightly to look at his younger sister behind him. "Come over here," Sun Mu'en said with delight.
He Cong smiled, realizing he had discovered a huge business opportunity!
Now I understand why Ruan Meng had Xiao Kai give her the prescription and let her see it herself!
Ruan Meng is one of our own! She always thinks of the He family when it comes to business!
The craftsmen were overjoyed, never expecting that a small, varnished wooden board could be so effective.
Children used to learn solely from their teachers, but with a "blackboard," teachers can teach while children watch, making the lessons more intuitive and effective. Just thinking about it makes it clear how effective it is.
After hanging the blackboard up again, Ruan Meng walked up to He Cong and asked with a smile:
"Young Master He, what do you think of the prospects of this deal?"
