These words made Master Wang and his men blush instantly. They were only thinking about looking forward, but they had forgotten what their ancestors had left behind.
It was like a sudden awakening, and I felt an indescribable sense of guilt.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room seemed to have become inexplicably serious because of her, Fan Xiaofan coughed a few times and said with a smile, "So, it really is a good book."
The others chuckled and nodded in agreement. Master Wang asked with some curiosity, "Xiao Fan, the hybridization of grain varieties you just mentioned is very interesting, isn't it?"
Fan Xiaofan sighed regretfully: "I'm really not good at this. If someone were to specialize in this research, we might never have to worry about going hungry again."
She couldn't help but think of the person mentioned in the records, perhaps in another part of this land, just like herself, doing her best for Guo Jia in her field of expertise.
Upon hearing this, Master Wang and the others couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed. They were all people who were used to going hungry, and they all knew the importance of food.
But at this moment, fearing that Fan Xiaofan would feel frustrated because of their questions, they hurriedly comforted him: "Xiaofan, you are already very good. If you could do everything, that would be unscientific."
The concept of science is a relatively recent one in China. In the past, people would have preferred to use the term "monster," but it is now considered taboo.
Fan Xiaofan chuckled, thanked everyone for their comfort, tilted her head with a mischievous look, and said, "I understand. In this life, energy is limited. You can't bite off more than you can chew. It's better to focus on quality than quantity. If you can study one thing to an extraordinary degree, that's already very impressive."
Just as she herself is good at mechanics.
Master Wang couldn't help but laugh out loud. Sometimes he really felt that this girl was very insightful, even more so than those of them who had lived their whole lives.
Fan Xiaofan smiled and placed the book "Tiangong Kaiwu" on the table, saying, "I'll leave this in the technical office. Everyone can read it. The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. Maybe we can get some inspiration from it."

Zhan Yuan'an received a large package and was a little puzzled. If it were books, the package would usually be square and neat. Why did it feel like there was something else inside?
Strangely, she took the package home and opened it. As soon as she opened it, she found dried meat and honey. She was stunned for a moment, then took out the letter, read it, and was so moved that she wiped her red eyes.
What an amazing sister he's got...!
At Zhan Yuan'an's age, he was at the age where he was prone to overeating, but there wasn't much good food to eat. His family was relatively well-off, and they had plenty of cornbread, but it was hard to swallow and consumed a lot of food every day. Zhan's father was worried every day that his son would eat the family out of house and home...
But Zhan Yuan'an was also aggrieved. Although he felt like throwing up from eating it, he still had to eat it because he was hungry...
I couldn't wait to stuff a mouthful of dried meat into my mouth. Hmm, it's on a completely different level from the meat shreds that my mom puts in her stir-fries, the kind you have to use a microscope to pick out.
The feeling of being so happy I wanted to cry.
I glanced at the honey in the bottle again, then immediately made myself a cup with warm water. Paired with some dried meat, it was simply divine!
He didn't overeat; he only ate one piece and saved the rest to share with his mother and grandmother. As for his father, Zhan Yuan'an shamelessly said that cornbread would be enough.
When the family returned for dinner, he proudly presented the item. Grandma Zhan sighed and exclaimed, "Oh dear!" Father and Mother Zhan exchanged a glance. They remembered the little girl from the Fan family; she was sickly and weak. They had heard that when they went to the countryside, they talked about how heartless the Fan family was.
