Zhang Tie and his elder brother grew up because of his rice brew and his small business to supplement their family income for over ten years.
In the past, Zhang Tie didn't know how to love his parents. Until two years ago, one weekend, when he saw his mother mopping the floor with a mop after closing the store, Zhang Tie suddenly felt sad and grew up overnight. He started to understand his responsibility to his family and parents as a man. From then on, on weekends, when his peers were playing outside, Zhang Tie would stay at home and help his mom with housework. Naturally, Zhang Tie also learned how to make rice brew from his mom. One year ago, Zhang Tie's rice brew was already similar to his mom's. Even those regular customers didn't know that almost half of the Zhang family's rice brew had been made by Zhang Tie since then.
Strangely, Zhang Tie slept very soundly last night. When he opened his eyes at six o 'clock in the morning, it was still a bit dark outside, with a bit of hazy whiteness coming from the east. Zhang Tie glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table and found that it was exactly a quarter past six. According to usual practices, young people at this age were usually lazy in bed. According to Zhang Tie's memory, he had never gotten up before seven o' clock in the morning. Closing his eyes, Zhang Tie still wanted to sleep for a while out of habit; however, he found that he couldn't fall asleep at all. His mind was clear and energetic, and he didn't feel sleepy at all. He was as fresh and tender as a cabbage that had just been picked up from the water and soaked overnight. How could he fall asleep? Usually, when he woke up in the morning, he would feel a bit dizzy and confused. However, this morning, his brain was as clear as a freshly polished top-quality crystal, without any impurities.
Struggling to get up, Zhang Tie found that he really couldn't fall asleep anymore. Therefore, he directly got up from the bed. Wearing only a pair of underwear, Zhang Tie started to twist his buttocks coquettishly. After all, nobody could see him. Zhang Tie didn't care how obscene and annoying he looked. Sixty laps clockwise, sixty laps counterclockwise. This was a habit that he had formed in the past. He had heard from his dad that men should twist their waists in the morning to strengthen their Yang Qi. Zhang Tie had kept it in mind. Later on, when he saw his elder brother and a woman doing piston exercises at home, he knew the effect of strengthening their Yang Qi. Since then, Zhang Tie started to practice this set of movements in the morning. Although Zhang Tie was still a virgin and his little brother hadn't had sex for more than ten years, he could understand why men didn't want to be more aggressive in that aspect.
When Zhang Tie lowered his head, he found that his underwear had already propped up a tall tent. Inside the tent, the little guy was having a great morning erection. Pulling open the top of his underwear, Zhang Tie found that the little guy had already become a big guy. Raising his head and sticking out his chest, his veins were bulging, and his killing intent was terrifying. Twisting it with his hand, Zhang Tie tested its hardness and found that it was as hard as a wooden stick.
"Alas, you'd better bear it. I don't know when you'll have another chance to use it!"
After twisting his buttocks, Zhang Tie opened the small window in the attic. Lifting his legs and bending his waist, he casually did some exercises. After that, he put on his clothes and lightly went downstairs. After washing his face and brushing his teeth, he started to make breakfast for his family members. Based on Zhang Tie's family's condition, the breakfast he prepared was not luxurious at all. It was just porridge. The rice had already been soaked last night, and when Zhang Tie saw it in the morning, it had already become a bit soft. Each grain of white rice was especially appetizing.
After soaking the rice, Zhang Tie had to start a fire. Blackhot City was rich in coal resources. Therefore, coal could be sold very cheaply in Blackhot City. Coal briquettes made from waste coal cinders could be bought for dozens of copper coins. Coal briquettes were easy to buy, but it was a technical job to start a fire in the hearth. Thankfully, after so many years of "practice", Zhang Tie was already very familiar with it. Previously, when he started a fire, he had to add some pine oil to help it burn. Now, he could start a fire in ten minutes without pine oil.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Tie started a fire in the hearth. After washing the pot, he started to boil water. After a short while, the water was boiling. After that, he brushed the soaked rice into the pot and covered it with a lid. Glancing at the fire, Zhang Tie smiled. He found that it was very satisfying to serve his family wholeheartedly, to surprise them, and to make his parents happy.
It would take at least one more hour for this pot of porridge to be ready. As there was still a lot of time left, Zhang Tie walked around the kitchen. After thinking for a while, Zhang Tie found the few empty terracotta vats in the rice brew shop. After fetching water from the well in the backyard, he cleaned the terracotta vats and carefully washed them. After washing the terracotta vats, he placed them under the eaves of the backyard. The sun had just risen. After about an hour of work, Zhang Tie's forehead was already covered with sweat. When Zhang Tie satisfactorily placed the last terracotta vats under the eaves, he found that his mom was already standing at the door leading from the kitchen to the backyard, staring at Zhang Tie in a daze.
"Guoguo, what are you doing?"
"Ah, mom, I got up early this morning, so I came down to do some work!"
"Silly boy, you're still growing up. How can you not sleep well!" Zhang Tie's mom came over and wiped off Zhang Tie's sweat. After that, she opened the lid of the pot and looked at the porridge in the pot. The moment she saw the porridge, she immediately determined when her son would get up. "Good boy, go back and sleep for a while. You've already done most of the work this morning. You can come down to eat when you wake up!"
"Mom, I'm really not sleepy!" Zhang Tie said helplessly.
"Come on, tell mom whether you've made some friends outside and have no money to spend! Last night, I felt that you were a bit weird... "His mom moved closer and whispered with a curious expression," If that's the case, you can come to me when you need money. In front of girls, a man should be generous to be attractive. You can't be too stingy. I've secretly saved some money, but you can't tell your dad! "
Looking at his mom, Zhang Tie became speechless. "What are you talking about!" Finally, when his protest failed, Zhang Tie was almost pulled by his ear and kicked back to his small building. His mom wanted him to have another sleep to "nourish his body"...
"You're still growing at this age. Sleep more so that you can grow taller in the future!" Seeing his mom's nagging back, Zhang Tie felt moved and helpless. He returned to his small room and pretended to "go back to sleep".
But in fact, how could Zhang Tie fall asleep after returning to his small room? After thinking for a while, he closed the doors and windows of his small room and entered the Castle of Black Iron once again. With the previous two experiences, Zhang Tie was more compatible with the Castle of Black Iron. This time, the moment Zhang Tie closed his eyes and thought about the "Castle of Black Iron", the door in his mind had automatically appeared. At the same time, Zhang Tie locked the door with his consciousness and muttered "enter" in his mind. Zhang Tie then entered the Castle of Black Iron.
— — Handsome and Magnificent Castle Lord, welcome to the Castle of Black Iron!
The same dialog box appeared in front of Zhang Tie and disappeared soon after. Zhang Tie had to admit that although the nickname he had given himself sounded a bit corny, each time he saw it, Zhang Tie would feel very good.
Handsome and Magnificent — — Lord — — Hahahahaha...
Puffing out his chest, Zhang Tie took a look around his territory. With his naked eyes, he found that this territory was exactly the same as last night. There was only a strange small tree, a vast flat land, and the steel bar that he had planted there as a mark yesterday. Apart from these few things, there was nothing else that caught his eyes.
After circling around the small tree called "Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree" for a couple of times, Zhang Tie still didn't see any changes on the small tree. After a short while, Zhang Tie lost his interest to explore it. Instead of circling around the small tree, he preferred to check the seeds that he had planted yesterday. Thinking of the corn and land that he had planted yesterday, Zhang Tie became spirited at once. He quickly ran to that piece of land that he had marked and started to observe it carefully on the ground.
Although it had only been one night, the corns that he had planted last night still didn't have any reaction. However, Zhang Tie was not worried. According to the agricultural knowledge that he had learned at school, it would take about one week for the corns to germinate. It was still too early. Thinking of this, Zhang Tie patted his head as he remembered that he had been too excited when he had planted the seeds last night that he had forgotten to water them. This was an elementary mistake. However, it was not too late to remember it now. He would find another time to bring two buckets of water in. After checking the corns, Zhang Tie moved to the potatoes. The potatoes, which were never picky and had a strong vitality, really gave Zhang Tie a big surprise. The potatoes that had been buried had already sprouted. Yesterday, when Zhang Tie buried them, he had purposely placed the sprouted parts facing upwards. Unexpectedly, this morning, some of the sprouted potatoes had already broken through the soil. Like bean sprouts that had been soaked overnight, they had already grown a bit larger. The potato with the largest sprouts had already sprouted two rice grain-sized sprouts — there was hope!
Zhang Tie became excited. F * ck, with this land, even if I could only plant potatoes, I would not have to worry about being starved to death! This was the only thing that Zhang Tie could think of at this moment.
After being excited for a while, Zhang Tie opened the Basic Attributes Panel of the Castle of Black Iron.
