Zhang Qingyan turned an abandoned factory into an archery club and leased a patch of wasteland at a scenic spot to build a rabbit-hunting ground. While others return to the countryside hoping to strike it rich, he insists on passing down his grandfather's Jiyang Saber Manual.
“Qingyan, you can hit a perfect ten with a bow, but you burn your stir-fried greens to a crisp, and you still want to pass down intangible cultural heritage?” Aunt Wang laughs, holding up a rabbit bun. Zhang Qingyan says nothing. Instead, he posts two things on his livestream: charred greens in his left hand and a Han-style saber with meteoric iron patterns in his right. The chat explodes: “Stick to forging sabers. Leave the kitchen to Aunt Wang!”
No one knows there's a secret group chat on his phone. A Han dynasty commandant teaches him how to coordinate bow and saber techniques; a Ming dynasty artisan helps him adjust the heat when forging; a financial planner calculates the profits from “archery and hunting packages.” When a rainstorm washes away the hunting ground's fence, even a survival expert sends an emergency plan in seconds.
Starting a business is never easy. Renovating the old factory costs more than expected, villagers are afraid he'll run off and don't dare raise rabbits for him, and people mock him: “Han sabers are obsolete. You're just using heritage to scam subsidies.” Zhang Qingyan rolls up his sleeves and gets to work. When money runs short, he uses the club's prepaid fees to fill the gap. When no one believes him, he shows the villagers how much they can earn from rabbits. When they sneer, he goes to the hunting ground, draws his bow, and chops wood, then holds up Master Li's old forging hammer. “The Jiyang saber once guarded the frontier. Now it's here to safeguard our livelihood!”
Later, Han Street becomes a hit, rabbit buns become a signature attraction, and Master Li's livestreams of saber forging draw millions of followers. Zhang Qingyan holds his provincial-level intangible cultural heritage certificate, with Su Qingyue, a directionally challenged woman who helped him apply for subsidies, standing beside him, and the villagers who've made good money behind him.
