Chapter 550: Collecting Medicinal Materials

Gu Jingqi decided to hide out first, "Got it, I'll go put my schoolbag away first."

As soon as Gu Jingxiu came back, he washed his hands and went into the kitchen to help serve the dishes.

After the food was served, everyone gathered together. Tang Jianye said while eating, "Jingchuan, Xiaomin, Jingyue and I came here today because we have something to consult you two about."

Gu Jingchuan said politely, "Uncle, please go ahead."

"Jingyue said that Xiaomin mentioned to her that there is a place in your hometown that specializes in growing medicinal herbs, and there are many kinds of wild medicinal herbs. Is that true?"

"Growing medicinal herbs?"

Gu Jingchuan had never heard of it.

After hearing what Tang Jianye said, Tang Min said, "Uncle, you are talking about Longshan County, right?

There are indeed Chinese medicinal herbs being grown there, but they are probably in the trial stage right now, and most of the herbs that enter the market from Longshan are still wild.”

She had mentioned this to Tang Jingyue.

"Xiao Min, is this news reliable?"

Tang Jianye's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at her and asked.

Tang Min smiled and said, "Uncle, how can this be unreliable?"

In this era, information is blocked. Without a lot of publicity, there is no way to understand the dynamics of a small county.

Bincheng is thousands of kilometers away from Longshan County, so even if Tang Jianye is engaged in medicinal material processing, he is not very clear about the situation of medicinal materials in the small county.

Tang Min asked, "Uncle, do you want to go over there to collect medicinal herbs?"

Tang Jianye sighed and said, "To be honest, our medicine processing factory must expand its business now. The quality of the medicinal materials supplied by the supplier is poor and the price is high. We cannot afford to be careless when it comes to medicinal materials. A hospital has already proposed to terminate the cooperation with us. We are now facing great difficulties and must find a new supplier. We have to go to the medicinal material base to investigate before we can decide whether this medicinal material can enter our factory."

"Uncle, you can go to Longshan and have a look."

"Jingyue meant the same thing. She said she was very knowledgeable. I just want to ask you and Jingchuan, do you know anyone in Longshan County?

If we are not familiar with the place and the people, we will not be able to carry out our work. The key is that the local people will definitely speak a dialect, and it will be difficult for us to communicate. It will be easier if we have acquaintances. "

This was Tang Jianye's main purpose for coming here today.

Since Tang Min is familiar with the situation of medicinal materials in Longshan County, she should be familiar with the situation there.

If Tang Min and Gu Jingchuan can help them connect with the medicinal materials dealers in Longshan County, then their Jianmin medicinal materials processing factory will be able to usher in new opportunities.

Tang Min thought about it and spoke awkwardly, "I don't seem to know anyone in Longshan..." She looked at Gu Jingchuan again, "Jingchuan, how come you know anyone there?"

Gu Jingchuan also shook his head, "Me neither."

Gu Jingchuan's connections were all in the army, and Longshan County was the county next to their hometown, so he really didn't know anyone.

He wasn't even sure where the medicinal herbs were.

"Brother and sister-in-law, is Longshan County the county next to ours?"

Gu Jingxiu, who had been eating with her head down and didn't dare to interrupt, suddenly looked up, looked at Tang Min and Gu Jingchuan and spoke.

Tang Min replied, "Yes, that's it."

Gu Jingxiu thought for a moment and said, "Dad should know someone there. He worked there two years ago. I heard that he even lived in a herbal farmer's home."

Gu Jingchuan and Tang Min were both surprised, "Dad went to Longshan to work?"

It was also the first time that Gu Jingchuan heard that his father had gone to Longshan to work.

Seeing her brother's face full of astonishment, Gu Jingxiu realized that she seemed to have let something slip. She couldn't hide it anymore and could only bite the bullet and continue, "Yes, that year when my brother was injured, he went to work in a brick factory in Longshan with my uncle."

"Dad, have you ever worked in a brick factory in another county?"

Gu Jingqi also recalled, "At that time, my eldest brother had just gotten married and the family owed some debts, so he went out to work."

Tang Min sat next to Gu Jingchuan and felt that his mood suddenly became low. She picked up some food for Gu Jingchuan to ease the atmosphere, "Jingchuan, this is all in the past. Mom and Dad are doing well now."

She asked Gu Jingxiu, "How long did Dad stay there?

He should be quite familiar with Longshan."

"I've been working on it for more than half a year."

"Jingchuan, why don't you give Dad a call to ask him about the situation over there and see if he knows anyone there. If my uncle and his family send someone over, it would at least be easier to communicate if there's someone familiar with them."

Gu Jingchuan's low mood only lasted for a moment. He smiled and said, "Uncle, let's eat first. I'll call my dad after dinner."

"Okay, let's talk after dinner.

. "

There is no landline in my hometown, so every time I make a call, I either call the store in front of the restaurant or the village store.

The restaurant should have been closed at this time. After dinner, Gu Jingxiu and Tang Min knew there was no rush to wash the pots and pans. After clearing away the dishes, everyone sat together, waiting for Gu Jingchuan to call home.

Gu Jingchuan directly called the village grocery store and asked the auntie there to ask his father to answer the phone.

Afterwards, Gu Jingchuan hung up the phone first and planned to call back after 10 minutes.

Diligent Gu Jingxiu couldn't sit still, so he ran to wash the fruit and brought it over, "Come on, everyone, have some fruit while you wait."

Jin Zhengtai took a big red strawberry and put it in his mouth, then asked Gu Jingxiu with a smile, "Jingxiu, where did you buy such a big strawberry?

Not only do you cook delicious food, but how come the strawberries you buy are so sweet?"

Gu Jingxiu, "..."

She rolled her eyes, then pointed at Tang Jingyue awkwardly, "This was bought by Sister Jingyue."

Jin Zhengtai paused while eating strawberries, and looked at Tang Jingyue with a dull look in his eyes. He pulled his lips together and smiled, "Strawberries seem to be quite sweet in this season."

Tang Jianye smiled and said, "Xiao Jin, if you like it, eat more. I'll ask Jingyue to buy more for you next time."

"Dad, hold on tight."

Tang Jingyue glanced at Tang Jianye with a cold tone.

Tang Jianye suddenly calmed down.

Everyone was eating strawberries and chatting. Gu Jingchuan waited until the time was almost up and called the canteen again.

As soon as the call was connected and he said hello, Gu Decheng's voice came over.

"Hello, is this Jingchuan?"

Gu Jingchuan said, "Dad, it's me. Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten. Your mother and I just came back from the restaurant."

"How are you doing lately?

Are you feeling well? "

Gu Jingchuan felt very upset because he had just found out that his father had gone to work in a brick factory in another county without telling him.

Especially at this moment, when the person was far away and hearing his dear voice, his nose felt sore and uncomfortable.

"It's still the same. Anyway, there aren't many people here every day. Your mother and I are quite free and in good health."

"Don't overwork yourself."

Gu Jingchuan adjusted his mood and was about to ask Zheng, when suddenly, another person's voice came from the phone, "Jingchuan, how are you doing in Bincheng?

Are there any good jobs in Bincheng?

I also want to go there to work.”
