Chen Changyuan led everyone around the base, chatting about his planting plans as they walked.
"Look at this piece. I'm planning to plant angelica. The soil and water conditions are excellent! Over there on the mountain, facing south, I'm planning to start a ginseng garden."
He ran his fingers over the areas, his eyes gleaming.
Uncle Zhang nodded repeatedly, sometimes squatting down to touch the soil, sometimes looking up to look at the terrain.
Several old Chinese medicine practitioners were also writing and drawing on their notebooks, chattering and discussing non-stop.
"Xiao Chen, that's a good idea!"
Uncle Zhang stroked his beard and said, "However, it's more appropriate to plant Chuanxiong in the low-lying areas, and plant Astragalus on the gentle slopes. The quality of the medicinal materials is excellent."
Chen Changyuan quickly took out his notebook and wrote it down. "Master Zhang, I have a good opinion! Change the plan immediately."
An Caicai watched him study hard and curled up the corners of her mouth.
The sunlight filtered through the leaves and shone on his face.
"This guy is really good!"
An old Chinese medicine practitioner whispered to Uncle Zhang, "You're motivated and willing to learn."
Uncle Zhang nodded in satisfaction. "How about this? Let's sign a long-term cooperation. I'll also pass on my planting secrets to you."
Chen Changyuan's eyes lit up. This was simply a godsend!
It is impossible for outsiders to learn the skills of these old Chinese medicine practitioners.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang!"
He was extremely happy.
It was dark when we finished touring the base.
An Caicai was about to leave, and took out an envelope hesitantly before leaving.
"My home address," she blushed, "If you can't see it, just write to me."
Chen Changyuan took the envelope, his heart pounding.
I watched her walk away until she turned the corner and could no longer be seen.
"Hey, Boss Chen!"
Old Yuan suddenly jumped out, grinning slyly, "When did you hook up with that rich girl?"
The villagers gathered around and started to make a fuss.
"My goodness, brother, the girl is so pretty!"
"She's a rich girl from the city! Boss Chen is so lucky!"
Chen Changyuan scratched his nose and said, "Don't talk nonsense, they are just visiting the base."
"Come on!"
The old man blinked his eyes and said, "I saw the way the girl looked at you!"
The setting sun dyed half the sky red.
Chen Changyuan stood there, holding the envelope in his hand, feeling indescribable.
Suddenly I feel that this land where my dreams are placed is more beautiful than before.
Chen Changyuan returned to the room, sat down and took out his notebook.
Hey, what did Uncle Zhang and the others talk about today?
The light was dim and he began to draw the base plan carefully.
"Hey, this is a great place to plant Chuanxiong..."
He muttered and tapped his fingers.
Knock, knock, knock. Who is it?
"Son, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
His mother came in with ginger soup.
"Hey, Mom, you haven't rested yet?"
Chen Changyuan stood up and took the bowl.
"I heard a bunch of doctors from the city came today. You must be very busy. Come, have a bowl of ginger soup to replenish yourself."
His mother looked at him with pity.
Chen Changyuan took a sip and was pleasantly surprised. It was so warm.
Looking at the wrinkles on my mother's face, I felt sad.
In my previous life, I was useless and made my mother so tired...
"Mom, just wait and see. This time I'm going to build this base!"
Mother laughed and was about to speak when she coughed, cough, cough, cough, cough!
"mother!"
Chen Changyuan quickly patted her back and asked, "Your old problem is coming back again?"
"Nothing, nothing, it's just cold..."
Mother waved her hands, her face pale with fatigue.
Chen Changyuan's heart skipped a beat.
My mother has always been in poor health, and she has become even worse in recent years.
Although I have made some money now, if I want my mother to live a good life, this base must produce results quickly.
Early the next morning, Chen Changyuan called all the workers to a meeting.
"Let's start working on the new plan!"
He held up a blueprint and said, "This low-lying land will be converted to planting Chuanxiong, and new land on the mountain will be opened to plant Astragalus."
"Oh my, Boss Chen, we have to dig the soil all over again. It's a lot of work!"
Someone murmured.
"It's difficult, but for the sake of the medicinal materials, we have to do this!"
Chen Changyuan looked around and said, "The wages will be doubled!"
Wow!
Everyone's eyes lit up and they all expressed their support.
Just as they were about to start working, the village chief Wang Fugui appeared out of nowhere.
"Wow, Boss Chen is really generous!"
He grinned, his eyes rolling around, "But I heard that your territory seems to have exceeded the limit..."
Chen Changyuan's heart skipped a beat.
This old fox wants to blackmail me again!
But the situation is critical now and we can’t cause trouble.
"Village Chief, how about we talk in the office?"
He pretended nothing happened.
"Okay!"
Wang Fugui stroked his beard happily.
In the office, Wang Fugui crossed his legs and drank tea leisurely.
Chen Changyuan looked at his calm demeanor and cursed in his heart what bad things this old fox was up to.
"Boss Chen, your base is developing quite well."
Wang Fugui put down his teacup and squinted his eyes and said, "But, this land exceeding the limit is no small matter."
Chen Changyuan remained calm, "Village Chief, what do you mean by that?"
"What's the meaning?"
Wang Fugui chuckled, "The higher-ups are checking very strictly. If people knew that your base exceeded the standards, then..."
He drew out the last word meaningfully.
Chen Changyuan's heart sank.
This old fox really came here for this.
He was silent for a moment, and suddenly remembered a batch of ginseng he had picked a few days ago.
"Village Chief, do you think this will work?"
Chen Changyuan took out an exquisite wooden box from the drawer. "This is wild ginseng that I just picked two days ago. It's quite old."
