Chapter 757 Qingyan Village
After getting off the train and walking out of the station, they soon saw a young man holding a sign who was there to pick them up.
Lin Chuxia took the initiative to step forward and greeted him, "Thank you for your hard work. I'm Lin Chuxia."
The other party saw Lin Chuxia was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he also extended his hand enthusiastically, "I am Yu Fei, the grandson of Yu Fusheng. I have finally waited for you to come. The car is outside."
Yu Fusheng is an old friend of Mr. He. Mr. He once said that Yu Fusheng has a grandson who is the fifth generation heir of their Yu family.
Lin Chuxia didn't expect that Grandpa Yu would let his grandson come to pick her up in person.
After leaving the train station, Lin Chuxia discovered that the living standards here were obviously much worse than those in Ancheng and Yan City.
In fact, she discovered it a few years ago when she went to the northwest to visit Qin Yang.
Take Ancheng for example. It was not opened early, but because it is close to the capital, it has geographical advantages in both economic and agricultural development, and people's living standards have improved by leaps and bounds.
In remote areas far away from the capital, let alone a well-off family with an annual income of 10,000 yuan, some people are even struggling to make ends meet.
When they came to this place, they could feel the poverty of this area just by looking at the people's clothes and the means of transportation on the road.
The car that picked them up was a tractor. Yu Fei explained while helping them put their luggage on the car.
"The place we are going to is called Qingyan Town. There is a Qingyan Village in Qingyan Town. There are many farmers growing herbs there. There are also some in the surrounding villages.
There are many people growing herbs. The chief of Qingyan Village heard that we were coming to inspect, so he specially sent this car to us from the brigade. But I still want to ask for your opinion. Do you want to rest here for a night or go directly to Qingyan Village? ”
Mr. Yu’s home is not here, and Yu Fei came here specially to pick up Lin Chuxia and the others because of Mr. He’s instructions.
However, because the Yu family comes to Qingyan Town every year to purchase herbs, they are very familiar with this place.
Lin Chuxia asked Yu Fei where he was staying, and Yu Fei smiled and said, "Mr. Lin may not be used to my place, it's in the coach house in Qingyan Town."
Qingyan Town is well-known for its cultivation of Chinese herbal medicines. During the picking season every year, many medicine dealers come to Qingyan Town to purchase Chinese herbal medicines.
There was also a big carriage inn in Qingyan Town.
But the accommodation conditions in these places are poor.
Lin Chuxia said directly, "If there is anything you are not used to, let's go to Qingyan Town."
She said the second half of the sentence to Gu Peng.
Yu Fei came here specifically to serve as their guide, and the sooner things could be done, the better.
I went to Qingyan Town today and can go to Qingyan Village early tomorrow morning.
Gu Peng had no objection to Lin Chuxia's arrangement. He climbed onto the tractor first and then extended his hand to Lin Chuxia.
Lin Chuxia put her hand on him and used his strength to get onto the tractor.
Yu Fei patted Niu Dali who was driving the car and said, "Master Niu, we have picked up the person. We can leave now."
Niu Dali is in his 30s and looks like a farmer. His skin is tanned and his smile reveals a mouthful of white teeth.
He responded honestly, smiled at Lin Chuxia and the others, then took the crank, stuffed it into the tractor head, and shook it violently a few times.
"Da da da da da" the tractor made a sound and a puff of black smoke came out of the chimney.
Lin Chuxia hadn't smelled the smell of diesel for a while.
In the car, Yu Fei told Lin Chuxia and the others that Qingyan Town was more than 30 miles away from the station.
Almost the entire town is located in the mountains, and there are many areas where medicinal herbs are grown, with Qingyan Village being the most famous.
The entire village, except for the land for food production, is almost entirely medicinal fields.
Lin Chuxia listened to Yu Fei's introduction while looking at the scenery along the way.
Although this place is a little poor, the scenery is nice, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. The only problem is that the road is a little bumpy.
Lin Chuxia moved her body, a little missing the time when she rode on a tractor with a quilt under her butt when she got married.
Just as she was thinking about it, a bundle poked her waist.
Turning around, she saw Gu Peng stuffing his canvas bag under her butt in a serious manner, "Put it under there so you can sit more comfortably."
Lin Chuxia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Your bag is full of clothes, and I made pleats for you all the way."
Seeing that she refused, Gu Peng simply grabbed her arm, pulled her up a little, and stuffed the canvas bag under her butt.
"Wrinkles are just wrinkles. Things are more important than people."
Now that it was all stuffed in, Lin Chuxia couldn't pull it out again, so she smiled and thanked him.
Yu Fei smiled and joked, "Junior sister's assistant is really careful. I should have brought you a cushion when I came."
These rough guys just sit on the side of the tractor and stand up when they get tired. They don't need a cushion and naturally don't think about it.
The tractor drove for more than ten miles and arrived at Qinglong Town.
Yu Fei pointed to the hilltop in the distance and said, "Junior sister, look over there, over there, and over here, they are all medicinal fields. These are white peony, and the one in the distance is angelica."
On the distant mountains, you can see patches of green.
"Many villagers here grow medicinal herbs, but they don't grow a lot. The quality of the herbs varies, and the price paid by the merchants is not high. The more this happens, the more villagers dare not grow more, for fear that they won't be able to sell them. This stuff is not like food, so if you can't sell it you can just eat it yourself."
Lin Chuxia nodded. She had known about this situation before.
That's not a problem.
As long as the villagers have experience in growing medicinal herbs, she will find technical personnel to provide training. Then, relying on Xia Yang's purchasing capabilities, the villagers' concerns about growing medicinal herbs will be resolved.
The tractor took them directly to the cart shop where Yu Fei stayed in the town.
The inn is a courtyard facing the street, with rooms divided into individual rooms.
The main room has single beds and can accommodate 4 to 6 people.
There are three connecting rooms in the wing, with a large bunk bed inside.
Of course, the prices are also different.
This is the off-season for purchasing medicinal materials, so there are not many people staying in the hotel.
Yu Fei now lives in a room of his own.
Gu Peng went to the store owner and asked for two rooms.
Then he picked out another one that looked more pleasing to the eye and gave it to Lin Chuxia to live in.
The room was very simple, with only a few wooden beds and not even a table.
Fortunately, Lin Chuxia was the only one in the room. She put her luggage on a bed and made the bed with her own sheets.
The landlady brought hot water into the house, and Gu Peng also got her a bucket of cold water.
"There's no place to take a shower here. Just wash yourself in the room. I'll help you watch the door outside."
He spoke so naturally that Lin Chuxia was stunned for a moment.
If it was a relationship between the two in their previous life, Lin Chuxia would not be surprised at all when he said this, but now the two of them had only known each other for three months at most.
This wasn't the first time she had felt this way, she often had this feeling when she was on the train.
