Chapter 121 Exhibition...

The two came back with a lot of things, and they were greeted by Yang Yunxiang who was standing at the door with an anxious expression.

As soon as Yang Yunxiang saw Chen Yin, she quickly came over, not caring about the slippery ground, and almost fell to the ground.

Puzzled, Chen Yin put down what she was holding and quickly approached. "Nurse Yang, what's wrong?"

"Doctor Chen, you're finally back." Yang Yunxiang looked up at the town government building not far away and said anxiously, "I don't know what the county has been doing in town these past few days. Secretary Fu has been sending people to the clinic every day to ask if you've returned."

"Secretary Fu, do you want to see me?"

Chen Yin vaguely guessed the other party's purpose, and estimated that he came to their Tongxi Town just for the cultivation of Chinese herbal medicines in Qingshan Village.

Before Yang Yunxiang could tell the gossip she had heard from her father, a familiar figure appeared on the street again, and today there was another person - Secretary Fu.

The voice suddenly jumped out of his throat in fear, "Doctor Chen, I'm coming!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yin and Wu Dongmei immediately looked towards the street, and sure enough, they saw a familiar figure.

Thinking that she would be busy for a while, Chen Yin entrusted the things she brought back from her grandmother's house to her mother and the nervous Yang Yunxiang, and stood alone at the door to greet them.

Soon, Secretary Fu and his secretary came to the door.

"Secretary Fu."

"Doctor Chen, you're finally back!"

Compared to Chen Yin, Fu Rui saw that the other party was more excited.

In her eyes, Chen Yin was no different from her benefactor. Ever since she met Chen Yin, both her professional and personal affairs had run smoothly, and she had even discovered the nascent blue ocean of Chinese medicinal herb cultivation.

After returning from Qingshan Village, she deliberately used her connections to inquire about relevant information.

She was surprised to find that Chinese medicinal herbs are grown all over the country, but most of them are still grown on a small scale. Most of them are family heirlooms that have been picked up again and the area is not large.

If Yunchuan can seize market share before other counties and cities develop vigorously, the people of Yunchuan will not have to worry about finding work outside in the future.

Fu Rui smiled excitedly, pulled Chen Yin into the clinic, and found a quiet place to sit down and talk.

After Chen Yin sat down, she got straight to the point. "Secretary Fu, you're here about the Chinese medicinal herb planting in Qingshan Village, right?"

"That's right! I heard that Doctor Chen went back to Qingshan Village during the days he wasn't at the clinic. I wonder what the progress is in the village now? I'm going to take the Tongxi Town team down there to take a look."

"Currently, the villagers are concentrating on building roads, preparing land, and learning planting techniques. The whole village is full of enthusiasm."

“Okay, okay!”

Fu Rui excitedly shouted "good" three times. This was the first time she had seen such proactive villagers. Their cooperation was worth the support funds she had specially raised during this period.

"If everyone is so proactive, there's no need to worry about the development of our hometown!"

After talking about the current situation of Qingshan Village, Chen Yin was more concerned about the reason why Secretary Fu came to see her.

Although it was she who gave the advice on the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs in Qingshan Village, in terms of actual operation, she was only good at talking on paper, and it seemed that it would be of no use for Secretary Fu to come to her.

Fu Rui saw the puzzled look in Chen Yin's eyes and knew that Chen Yin was a pragmatic person, so he directly told her the purpose of his visit.

"I came to see Doctor Chen today because I want to ask for your help."

"Please speak," Chen Yin raised her hand, motioning the other party to continue.

"I'm sure you've heard about this when you returned to the village. Our county has tentatively decided to vigorously develop mugwort as a traditional Chinese medicine. It has a variety of effects and uses, and can be used in various products. It's a good choice for us at the moment."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yin nodded affirmatively. There was nothing wrong with Secretary Fu and the others' professional analysis.

"Among the four medicinal herbs I recommend, mugwort is indeed the most convenient one at the moment."

Hearing the voices of approval, the smile on Fu Rui's face deepened unconsciously, and he felt more confident about his invitation.

"Last year, the Southwest Traditional Chinese Medicine Expo was held in Dongyu. This year, a similar national industry expo will be held in Xishu. Our county wants to take this opportunity to showcase Qingshan Village's medicinal materials, build their reputation, and attract buyers."

"I've had similar ideas before, and it's indeed a good idea."

Fu Rui's eyes sparkled when he said this. "So, Doctor Chen, do you agree to attend the expo in person?"

Chen Yin looked at Fu Rui in surprise and pointed at herself, "Are you here today just to invite me to the expo?"

"Yes," Fu Rui nodded heavily with a hint of shame. "Our county finally managed to get a spot in the exhibition from the city. This is a rare opportunity, and we all want to show our best. Doctor Chen, as a treasure of traditional Chinese medicine in our county, it is naturally an honor for us to be able to participate."

"We also hope to purchase some Qingshan Village medicinal herbs from you, prepare and process them into various derivative products for the exhibition."

There was no need to hesitate about such a good thing, so Chen Yin agreed immediately.

At present, most of the medicinal materials her clinic bought from her uncle and the village party secretary's home have not been put into use.

Especially mugwort, which has special properties, it is best to store it as aged mugwort after harvesting, and then proceed to the next step of processing and use it as a medicinal material.

A part of the honeysuckle was used, and the rest can be used for the exhibition.

"Sure. Secretary Fu, I wonder what derivative products you plan to make from mugwort and honeysuckle?"

"What do you think of products like sachets, teas, and mosquito repellent essential oils? Doctor Chen?"

"Mugwort has the effects of warming the meridians, dispelling cold, reducing inflammation, relieving coughs, and stabilizing pregnancy. In addition to being processed into moxa wool for moxibustion, in daily life, in addition to being used in sachets and other mosquito repellents, it can also be processed into pillows, vests, and various bath products."

Fu Rui didn't expect that Chen Yin could think of so many derivatives, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Your suggestion is very good. We will find someone to make it when we get back and use it as exhibits for our booth. We also hope that Doctor Chen can come with us and cheer for our county."

"It's my pleasure."

After sending the invitation, Fu Rui finally felt relieved. With only two months left until the exhibition, they had a lot to prepare.

So, she left her secretary to handle the purchase of medicinal materials and hurried back to the town government to continue the previous meeting.

The secretary thought of the previous discussion between the secretary and Doctor Chen, and with a wave of his hand, he directly increased the purchase quantity that had been considered before, and almost bought out all the medicinal materials that Chen Yin had bought from her uncle and the village party secretary.

If Chen Yin hadn't said that she wanted to keep some aged mugwort and process it into moxa powder, the secretary would probably have bought them all.

Just after seeing off the people from the county, Chen Yin welcomed Sun Mingying.

After the Spring Festival, Sun Mingying finally returned home.

She went to Huimin Hall immediately and gave Chen Yin the gifts she had collected from Beijing and her home.

"Doctor Chen, please don't refuse. The profits you've generated for our Sun family from the Xu family in Jing City could probably buy out the entire Yunchuan County. So, this is just a small token of my appreciation, and you must accept it."

"I went to the capital to seek medical treatment only to repay your kindness. How could I accept anything?"

"Look, it's nothing expensive. I saw you liked fine materials, so I sent for silks and satins from Suzhou and Hangzhou, along with some breathable fabrics suitable for summer wear. Just some food, drinks, and clothes. Consider it a New Year's gift from home. How do you think?"

The quantity of each gift is not large, and the main focus is on just the right amount, but the variety is so great that it dazzles the eyes.

Chen Yin roughly calculated the price of the gift and took out the homemade pills from her backpack.

"This is a heart-saving pill I made myself. It can give you a life-saving breath when your life is in danger. Consider it my return gift."

"this……"

Sun Mingying gave the gift to Chen Yin to repay her, so how could he take it back?

But the name of the medicine and its effect that Chen Yin mentioned were so attractive that she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

After much hesitation, Sun Mingying finally accepted the return gift and expressed his sincere gratitude to Chen Yin.

After seeing Sun Mingying off, Chen Yin returned to her room with the New Year gift, sorted out the fabric, and asked her mother to make clothes for her and her daughter.

As for other food and drinks, they are placed in the cafeteria for employees to eat.

In the following days, Chen Yin faced a wave of heavy work, and before she knew it, it was the end of March.

Today is the day when the Yunchuan County Government and the villagers of Qingshan Village set out for Xishu to participate in the exhibition.

Early in the morning, Chen Yin saw her uncle, brother Wenbo and brother Yushu busying themselves. Obviously, everything had been prepared yesterday, but the three of them got up and started working before dawn, as if they felt uncomfortable if they didn't do something.

While the three were busy, the car sent by the county arrived at the clinic early.

Chen Yin waved goodbye to her mother and the medical staff at the clinic, "Mom, please don't work too hard and tire yourself out."

"Mengxi, Xuewen, please take care of the clinic for a while. I'll try to be back within a week. If there's anything urgent, remember to call the hotel. And..."

"Oh!" Liu Mengxi couldn't stand Chen Yin's nagging and urged, "Yin Yin, if you keep talking, everyone's going to get calluses. This isn't your first time traveling far away, and we all know how to take care of the clinic, so go ahead and relax."

"Go ahead," Zhou Xuewen also agreed.

Seeing this, Chen Yin waved, got in the car, and went to the county town with her uncle and others.

Then he took a train to Xishu with Deputy Director Wang sent by the county.

Chen Yin has never returned to Xishu since graduating from university. A rough calculation shows that it has been almost two years since she left school.

During these two years, her life has undergone tremendous changes, and Qian Jin, who caused the changes, is still vivid in her mind.

Compared to Chen Yin's somewhat unhappy mood, Wu Qiufeng and the others were both nervous and excited.

The three of them had never set foot on land outside the province. The farthest place they had been to in their lives was the city, and it was their first time taking a train.

So from the moment they got on the train, the three of them never rested their eyes, staring curiously at the familiar mountains and scenery outside the window, without feeling tired at all.

Perhaps it was the sound of the running train that was so magical. After the train passed through tunnels one after another, the excited people finally fell asleep leaning back in their chairs.

After waking up, I sat on the train for a few more hours before finally arriving at our destination - Western Sichuan.

The entire trip was arranged by the county, and Chen Yin and the others just had to follow.

After a while, several people got on the arranged car and went to the hotel to check in.
