Zeng Shuwen and Liu Fengyi became more and more excited as they talked.

"As for the land issue, I actually have an idea. Every family now has their own private plot. I've noticed that everyone's grain production is pretty good, and after paying the public grain tax each season, there's still enough left to eat. Why don't we buy the use rights to a few private plots first? Then I'll find a way to prepare some food so you don't have to worry about anything," said Zeng Shuwen.

Liu Fengyi thought of a key question: "Where do ginseng seeds come from? How do you grow them? How long does it take? Is ordinary land suitable for cultivation?"

"Let's go find Qin Zhongyi and ask him!"

Zeng Shuwen acts decisively.

A fellow villager broke his leg while going up the mountain, and Qin Zhongyi brought a group of students to treat him.

After Qin Zhongyi finished reading, Zeng Shuwen quickly said, "Old Qin, I have a question for you."

Seeing that there were too many people in the yard, Liu Fengyi gestured for them to go inside and talk in detail.

After listening to their words, Qin Zhongyi thought for a while and said, "In fact, you don't need to set aside a piece of land to grow ginseng. After all, ginseng takes several years to grow. I have an idea, you might as well give it a try. Our Daqing Mountain is the most suitable place for growing ginseng. The spiritual energy here is sufficient, the herbs grow fast, and the medicinal effects are good. So you might as well find a place in the mountains to grow ginseng."

"Ginseng generally takes four or five years to grow. The longer it grows, the better its efficacy! If you set aside a piece of land specifically for growing ginseng, you'll have to wait at least five years before you see a return. In other words, during these five years, not only will you have no income, but you'll also have to invest manpower. So I suggest choosing a spot in the mountains or deep in the forest to grow ginseng."

"If we plant ginseng on a large scale, how do we get the ginseng seeds?" Liu Fengyi asked.

This is easy to solve. Dr. Qin said, "I know some herbal farmers. I can buy some from them later."

Jiaojiao said, "Don't worry about the ginseng seeds. I'll take care of it. I'll just have Dabai go into the mountain a few more times."

Dr. Qin was delighted: "It would be great if we could get some ginseng from the mountains!"

"As for growing medicinal herbs in your own plot, that's not impossible, but try to choose those that can produce results in the short term. I'll make a list for you later and choose some relatively rare herbs to plant. We have some of these in Daqing Mountain, but they're usually deep in the mountains. I'll take a few and let Dabai identify them."

Jiaojiao nodded. That was easy. Even if Dabai couldn’t find it, she could still find it.

Liu Fengyi explained their product positioning: "Our current positioning is to try to select those precious items that can be packaged into gift boxes. We are working towards high-end gifts. Please give us some advice."

Qin Zhongyi touched his chin. "Then it's best to choose Lingzhi or Dendrobium officinale, which are both precious and fast-growing. These can definitely be made into high-end gifts. Lingzhi can be boiled in water or soaked in wine, and Dendrobium can be soaked in water or cooked into porridge! They are rare health supplements!"

"Okay! Dabai will take care of all the herbs. You guys will just be responsible for handling the land issues."

"I'll teach you how to grow it. How many of you have?" Qin Zhongyi also became interested. He had wanted to teach his fellow villagers how to grow medicinal herbs a few years ago. However, land shortages, coupled with other factors, meant that this project was delayed day by day.

Zhou Xinghong smiled guiltily: "There are only two people planting it right now. But don't worry, as long as we spread the word, we will definitely have students!"

In fact, Zhou Xinghong said that both of them lied. She took it upon herself to include Yan Xiumei in the case.

Zeng Shuwen and Liu Fengyi had a plan in mind. They entrusted the specific technical issues to Qin Zhongyi and the seeds to Jiaojiao. They would take care of the rest.

First, find the team leader to coordinate and deal with the land issue.

In the minds of ordinary people, land is still used to grow food. Without it, they feel anxious. However, Zeng and Liu promised to prepare a certain amount of food for the brigade every year to ensure sufficient grain storage, so that everyone has no worries.

After solving this problem, many people in Wangjia Village became interested. They had tasted the sweetness brought by cash crops and naturally knew that if the medicinal herbs were grown well, they could earn a lot of money.

At the Cao family, Chunhua asked anxiously, "Xinghong, did they really say that?"

Zhou Xinghong nodded. "Aunt Zeng and Aunt Liu will take care of the land and food issues, and they'll also be responsible for finding sales channels. We just need to grow the herbs, and the gift factory will naturally buy them!"

Chunhua looked at her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, I think what Xinghong said is feasible! They are so capable people and they are so optimistic about it, so it's a sure thing. Besides, it's Jiaojiao who's taking the lead."

Grandma Xiaoya looked at her husband, and the two old people obviously thought that this was feasible.

Jianguo asked, "Dad, Mom, why don't we go and be the first to sign this agreement!"

Everyone looked at Xiaoya's grandparents.

Xiaoya's grandfather took a puff of his cigarette and nodded. "Go ahead! You and your brother will represent our family and treat our private plot of land as a planting base. This year, you all have to go up the mountain diligently to pick chestnuts and dig kudzu roots, and try to fill up the cellar."

"Okay!" Jianjun and Jianguo responded in unison. They hurried out, and their wives, unable to sit still, followed them to the brigade headquarters.

In the brigade headquarters, Grandpa Dashan was leisurely drinking water soaked with tea leaves. A radio was hanging at the door, and he was looking for the most suitable posture to listen to the broadcast.

"Fifth Master, where is the captain?" Jianjun asked.

"He went to the fields. Didn't they say they were going to turn the private plot into some kind of base? He went to look after the land."

Jianjun and Jianguo exchanged a glance. Jianguo asked, "Fifth Master, has anyone come to sign yet?"

Grandpa Dashan chuckled: "That's right, besides the captain's family and Jiaojiao's family, the only other family is your Fifth Uncle's family!"

Hey! I can’t get the first spot anymore!
