Chen Changyuan stood at the entrance of the farm, squinting his eyes as he looked at the newly completed disinfection pool. The sunlight shone on the cement surface, creating a delicate luster.
He took a deep breath, the air was filled with the smell of soil and disinfectant, familiar yet unfamiliar.
In his previous life, he fell and suffered heavy losses on this land. His mother Fang Suxia's illness, Lin Xiaoya's betrayal, and Zhou Dazhu's cold eyes, all of these things cut into his heart like knives.
In this life, he vowed to let those people see that he, Chen Changyuan, was not a soft persimmon that could be bullied.
"Boss Chen, the disinfection pool is now completely finished. Is there anything else you want to change?"
Uncle Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead, came over with a smile, and his tone was a little flattering.
Chen Changyuan waved his hand, but his eyes didn't move away from the pond. "Uncle Wang, good job. But you have to keep an eye on the workers and make sure none of them are lazy. If the disinfectant isn't mixed properly and something goes wrong, our farm will be ruined."
Uncle Wang nodded repeatedly, patting his chest and assuring, "Don't worry, I, Old Wang, have nothing else to offer, but these eyes are incredibly sharp. Anyone who dares to fool me will be kicked out immediately!"
Chen Changyuan smiled, said nothing more, turned and walked towards the village path.
He had more important things to do today, which was to go to the county town to determine the location of his own medicinal materials base for this conversation on Chinese medicinal materials and to demonstrate the process of processing Chinese medicinal materials.
Chen Changyuan set foot on the dirt road leading to the county town, thinking about the upcoming meeting.
He knew that this event was crucial to his medicinal materials business, not only expanding his influence but also attracting more partners.
After arriving in the county town, Chen Changyuan went straight to the pharmaceutical company.
Pushing open the door of the purchasing department, he saw Zhang Qinghai busy processing documents.
"Director Zhang, excuse me for interrupting you."
Chen Changyuan greeted with a smile.
Zhang Qinghai raised his head, his eyes lit up, "Oh, Brother Chen is here! Please take a seat."
He greeted her warmly, "I was just thinking of looking for you. We need to plan this conversation carefully."
After Chen Changyuan sat down, the two quickly got down to business.
Zhang Qinghai took out a map, pointed to the location marked on it and said, "Look, this is the display area we have divided. I have arranged a seat for you near the front. I guarantee you will attract a lot of attention."
Chen Changyuan looked at the map carefully and nodded with satisfaction.
"Director Zhang, how is the time arrangement for demonstrating the processing skills?"
"Don't worry about this,"
Zhang Qinghai smiled and said, "I specially arranged it for you at 10 am, when the most people will visit. By the way, what medicinal herbs processing are you going to demonstrate?"
Chen Changyuan thought for a moment and replied, "I plan to focus on showcasing several common herbs that require high processing standards, such as Gastrodia elata, Astragalus membranaceus, and Angelica sinensis. The processing of these herbs is relatively intuitive and can demonstrate our technological level."
Zhang Qinghai's eyes lit up. "What a great idea! These medicinal herbs are in great demand in the market, and the display will definitely be effective."
He paused, then lowered his voice mysteriously. "Let me tell you, this time, not only are leaders from our county visiting, but I heard there are also some important figures from the province. If you can leave a good impression on them, your future development will be tremendous."
Chen Changyuan's heart was moved, but he didn't show it on his face. He just smiled and said, "Then I have to prepare well. Director Zhang, is there anything else I should pay attention to?"
Zhang Qinghai patted Chen Changyuan on the shoulder and said, "I trust you to do your job. But one thing: when you present, you should talk more about your planting philosophy. The higher-ups are paying a lot of attention to green planting these days. If you can put some effort into this aspect, you'll definitely get extra points."
Chen Changyuan nodded thoughtfully, "I understand. I will prepare well."
Before leaving, Zhang Qinghai specifically reminded him, "By the way, the quality of your medicinal material base is truly excellent. Please bring more samples this time so that everyone can see them."
Chen Changyuan agreed with a smile and had already started thinking about the preparations for his return.
After leaving the county pharmaceutical company, Chen Changyuan did not return to the village immediately, but took a walk around the county town.
He noticed that several new pharmacies had opened on the street and took note of them, thinking that he could discuss cooperation with them in the future.
When we returned to Qingshui Village, the sun was already setting.
Chen Changyuan didn't rest and went directly to the medicinal materials base.
He carefully checked each plot of land to ensure that the medicinal herbs were growing well.
Chen Changyuan walked on the ridge of the medicinal materials base, his fingers gently stroking the vibrant medicinal herbs.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the green medicinal fields, giving the plants a golden glow.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The air was filled with the fresh scent of earth and medicinal herbs.
"It seems everything is going well."
He muttered to himself, a relieved smile on his face.
Suddenly, he remembered Zhang Qinghai's suggestion and decided to select some of the best samples to bring to the meeting.
Chen Changyuan squatted down and carefully observed each medicinal herb. His fingers deftly moved between the leaves, and from time to time he picked a leaf and put it under his nose to smell it carefully.
"The Gastrodia elata are growing well, and these plants are particularly plump."
He muttered to himself, carefully dug out a few Gastrodia elata plants, and gently patted off the soil.
"Astragalus has a well-developed root system, so its medicinal properties should be very strong."
He picked a few more plants of Astragalus and nodded with satisfaction.
Just then, footsteps were heard in the distance.
Chen Changyuan looked up and saw that it was Lao Yuantou and several villagers coming over.
"Changyuan, is the conversation meeting about to start in the next two days?"
Old Yuan asked with a smile.
Chen Changyuan stood up and patted the dirt on his hands. "Yes, Uncle Yuantou. This is a rare opportunity. I have to prepare well."
Old Yuan nodded. "Of course not. You are the hope of our village now. By the way, I heard you are going to demonstrate the processing of medicinal herbs on site?"
"That's right."
Chen Changyuan smiled and said, "I was just planning to pick a few people to help me. Uncle Yuantou, do you think there is anyone in the village who has good skills? Can you come with me?"
Old Yuan's eyes lit up. "I know that. Widow Wang's youngest son, Xiaoqiang, is an exceptional cook. And Aunt Li, her method of preparing medicinal herbs is inherited from her ancestors."
Chen Changyuan nodded thoughtfully, "That's great, Uncle Yuantou, please let them know for me. I'll go talk to them in detail tomorrow."
"No problem, leave it to me."
The old man patted his chest and promised.
At this time, a young man squeezed out from the crowd and said shyly, "Brother Chen, I...I also want to learn from you."
Chen Changyuan looked closely and found that it was Xiao Li from the village.
He remembered that the child had always been interested in Chinese medicine, but his family was poor and he had no chance to further his studies.
"OK,"
Chen Changyuan smiled and patted Xiao Li on the shoulder. "It would be a good idea for you to come along and learn some skills."
Xiao Li was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.
