Chapter 109



When Yu Xiangan mentioned cicada fungus, they were all at a loss as to what it was. It was Chen Xiaoyang who first realized what it was. It was the special cicada shell that appeared in their bamboo forest.

"Yes! There is." It seems to be a medicinal herb, Chen Xiaoyang thought uncertainly.

Cicada fungus has a wide range of effects. It can lower blood lipids and blood pressure, nourish the liver and improve eyesight, and can also fight tumors. It is a medicinal material that can be compared to Cordyceps sinensis.

Chen Xiaoyang: “!!!” It turns out they have such good stuff here!

Yu Xiangan admired the undulating scenery of the bamboo sea here, then randomly picked a few bamboo shoots and dug them out. He went to Chen Xiaoyang's house to cook them, and after tasting them, he placed an order.

After everything is ready, we just make a phone call and people from their factory will come over to buy them, and then we can sell the bamboo shoots from their bamboo forest.

Things went smoothly without any setbacks.

The people in the village were all happy.

With this income, their village can build a school and roads.

This is a great thing.

They formally signed the contract at Chen Xiaoyang's home. Chen Xiaoyang was very excited throughout the whole process. Even her mother could only laugh when she saw her surrounded by so many village cadres. At this time, she completely forgot how she had chased and scolded her daughter before.

Her mother just felt proud. From now on, people in their village would look up to their family. This was built by her daughter. With the money, their mud road could be made smoother, the leaky school walls could be repaired, and the broken tables and chairs could be repaired.

Chen Xiaoyang felt very happy. When she received her mother's satisfied look, she breathed a sigh of relief. It was good now. Her mother would not insist on her getting married immediately. Now was the time for her to get a promotion, a pay rise and reach the peak of her life.

I really don't have that intention.

Sure enough, not long after Chen Xiaoyang returned, her transfer order came down and she was promoted.

After she got the promotion, her mother became much calmer and no longer forced her to find a partner. She is now busy digging bamboo shoots and making money with everyone.

The village decided to distribute part of the money from selling bamboo shoots to everyone and use part for building roads and schools.

They also took good care of the bamboo forest and even transplanted some bamboos to some barren hills. In a few years, a new bamboo forest will grow here. They live off the mountain and the sea. There are no mountains or seas here, only this bamboo mountain.

In the past, when life was difficult, this place saved everyone's lives. Now that everyone has enough food and clothing, the bamboo forest helps them make money. We must protect it well and not do stupid things like draining the pond to catch more fish. This way, their village can benefit from this bamboo forest for generations to come.

Lin Chuanbai has gradually replicated some of the drugs he had previously researched in reality. The types of drugs they submitted for review have attracted attention, and people give them a thumbs up for their high productivity.

These things are not medicines for treating difficult and complicated diseases or serious illnesses, but they are indispensable in daily life, such as colds, coughs, fevers, and various problems that often occur in infants and young children. In addition to these oral products, there are also wind oil, burn ointment, mosquito repellent cream, floral water, etc.

Lin Chuanbai’s goal is that the medicines they produce will occupy family medicine cabinets and enter thousands of households in the future.

The fellow brothers and sisters who came out with him were also very satisfied. After they came to Changyao, not only did their salaries increase, but there was also one thing that made them very satisfied, and that was their experimental equipment.

In the past, they used these equipments on a shift basis, and if experienced teachers wanted to use them, they would step down. Now, they don't need to do that anymore. They work on a shift basis, and whoever applies first gets to use it first. There will be no interference from others, and new instruments are being added one after another. If they continue like this in the future, their research department may have more equipment than all the laboratories in the school combined. Although this is only for pharmaceuticals, it is enough to make them happy.

These utensils are equivalent to the knives in the hands of a chef and are all very important.

Although the approval and testing of drugs takes a relatively long time, we will be able to carve out a place for ourselves in the future with these.

Yu Xiangan is involved in many industries, but the most widespread are the various seasoning packets she makes.

Gao Yaping and his family have been in the Philippines for more than 20 years. When they first arrived here, it was very difficult and they did not have much money. Now they have opened a small restaurant in the Chinese district here. When you come here, you can eat familiar Chinese food. The rice and curry rice they made by combining local characteristics are also very much to the taste of the locals.

Chinese people come here to eat the flavors of their hometown, while locals come here to eat exotic flavors with their own country's characteristics.

They have positioned themselves very accurately and have grasped this positioning.

Their chef is Gao Yaping's mother. His mother's cooking skills were average before, but after she bought a seasoning packet from Wuwei, her cooking skills have improved to a higher level.

You don’t have to spend a lot of time seasoning it yourself, just add salt and water according to the proportion.

Even he himself is capable of it.

For example, the soup base made from a large bag of hot pot ingredients will be used to cook chicken legs and wings, add some vegetarian dishes, and then scoop them out and put them on the complete rice bowl, which will be a bright color.

They often eat like this at home.

Before this small restaurant opened, their family did all the hard labor, such as moving things and sweeping the streets. They had to do what others were unwilling to do. If they didn't, they would have no money, and without money they would not be able to survive.

Since the opening of this small restaurant, they gradually quit all these jobs and concentrated on running the small restaurant.

Here, exotic goods are not flooding the market, and they are able to maintain this advantage before liberalization, making their lives a little better.

The locals here don’t know much about this stuff, and they don’t prepare the ingredients as comprehensively as they do here. Even if one day they know where their soup base comes from, they will be too lazy to buy it or make it, so this business can continue.

This is a way to make a living and they are very concerned about this brand now.

When I see new products, I will buy some immediately.

Let’s see if we can come up with a new dish.

This time, Gao Yaping went to the market and bought a big bag of hot and sour noodles and the newly launched sour bamboo shoots buns. Once the sour bamboo shoots buns were launched, they were well received. Many people came to their restaurant specifically to eat and order the sour bamboo shoots, which really boosted sales.

Because the pharmaceutical factory is in Yangcheng, Lin Chuanbai occasionally lets the twins come over to learn from the factory.

There are so many things to be exposed to in this line of work.

Don't let them do anything that will interfere with their studies. Just let them come here to do their homework, make friends, or watch others do things.

Soon, Lin Yining found a friend here.

Ye Jingjing is the daughter of a researcher. Her mother has passed away. She lives with her father in the dormitory assigned by the factory. She is two years younger than Lin Yining.

Lin Yining has many friends, but the two he plays best with are Fatty Chen Yi and Wang Lipan.

Both of them are men.

It’s not that she only looks at appearance when making friends. Wang Lipan is good-looking, but the fat guy Chen Yi is just an ordinary person.

It’s not that Lin Yining is without female friends. She gets along well with the female classmates in her class, but she doesn’t have any close girlfriends. In her words, there is still something between them, and she doesn’t feel comfortable playing with them, so she doesn’t force herself.

But this little girl is different. She has a round apple face, is shy and introverted, and blushes easily, especially when she eats, just like a hamster. Looking at her, Lin Yining's heart is moved and he really wants to feed her.

As a result, every time she came here, she would bring some food in her bag.

Beef jerky, biscuits, shredded squid, flower cakes, candy...

Watching her eat gives me a sense of accomplishment.

Ye Jingjing's father is a careless man. He thinks his daughter is old enough to take care of herself, so he leaves her alone and spends most of his time in the laboratory.

When they were hungry, they went to the canteen. If they wanted to buy something, there was money at home. Basically, they were left to their own devices. After they got to know each other, Lin Yining realized this and felt sorry for them.

Plus, they were in the same school. Although he was in a lower grade than her, they basically had the same schedule. He would go find her from time to time and take her out to play.

Ye Jingjing was also a child with little sense of presence in school. She was remembered by teachers and classmates only because of her good academic performance. Otherwise, if they asked her about her, they would find out that she did not exist.

Lin Yining talked to Lin Chuanbai while they were having dinner, "Dad, are you exploiting others too much? Jingjing's dad doesn't even bother to take care of her. She spent her birthday yesterday alone. It was so quiet. Her dad didn't even come home last night. She was waiting in the living room alone and finally fell asleep on the sofa."

Lin Chuanbai also frowned after hearing her "complaint".

"Okay, I know about this."

He didn't know the situation of every researcher, so he asked them. He found out that this researcher was an experiment fanatic who hated to leave the laboratory once he arrived.

Lin Chuanbai asked carefully and found out that there are many people in this situation, but because they usually have other people at home, the children will not be left unattended. He specially added a position to remind those who are crazy about experiments to eat, sleep, and go to the toilet, and remind them to take care of their health.

Only with a good body can we carry out the next experiment.

Lin Yihong found out about this and felt that his sister had missed the point. "Shouldn't the point be that her father doesn't care about the family? Dad hired them so that they can work hard, which is a good thing, but he didn't grasp the boundary between work and family and neglected the family too much. This should be told to him, so that he can realize this problem himself."

Lin Yining was a little depressed. "It's not like I didn't know, but it's no use for me to say it, so I thought about Dad stepping in to see if there could be some improvement."

She had looked for Ye’s father.

But she suspected that the other party didn't listen at all.

depressed.

It is still useful for Lin Chuanbai to come forward.

Father Ye was also very ashamed, knowing that he had neglected his children too much, but when he got excited, he wanted to know the result immediately and was unwilling to leave. Now Lin Chuanbai asked someone to remind them that the situation was much better than before, and health is the capital of revolution.

If you want your experimental career to go smoothly in the next few decades, you must take good care of your body.

Yu Mingyao was not happy because of the incident in the dance hall. She took her three roommates back to her home and stayed there for a night. After that, Yi Zhuzhu's attitude towards her improved a little, but another rumor came out that she had hooked up with a rich man because Lin Chuanbai drove there.

Her roommates knew that he was her uncle-in-law, but others didn't know and spread rumors that he was the rich boss who supported her.

Even when Yu Mingyao was furious and wanted to correct the rumors, they were still unwilling to listen. Perhaps they knew how outrageous what they said was, but they just liked to hear others say such unreliable things to satisfy their gossipy hearts.

Fortunately, they didn't mention any names, so as the rumor spread, it became clear that the person wasn't talking about her at all. Yu Mingyao could only let it go because she was already a legendary figure.

But even though I understand it in my heart, I still feel uneasy.

In addition to the rumors, another rumor was that one of her relatives was rich.

She joined the student union, and when the student union was looking for sponsorship for an event, some people set their sights on her.

"Mingyao, although you are not from our department, we are really short of funds. Can you help us? Don't you have relatives doing business? They definitely don't need this little money."

Yu Mingyao was not from the External Relations Department. Everyone had their own responsibilities. Yu Mingyao refused. They were not very familiar with each other. But soon there was a second time and a third time.

It's so annoying.

Yi Zhuzhu couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw this. "Don't think this is something that will cost your relatives money. This can also build reputation and increase popularity. Don't you know that they have to spend money on advertising? And if they want to recruit talents in the future, they can come to our school to recruit. If they are well-known, more people will be willing to work for them. You should ask first. You are really a frog in the well, too petty."

Yu Mingyao's face turned green. The first part of his words made sense, but the latter part was just too ugly. What would happen if he spoke in a nice way? ?

Without the last two sentences, these words would have been just a well-intentioned reminder, but with the last two sentences, the well-intentioned reminder in front of them has no effect at all. Harsh words can hurt people like a cold chill in summer!

Yu Mingyao angrily walked around outside for two rounds before she recovered and went to thank her. "I just thought about what you said and I understand. Thank you for reminding me. I will tell my uncle."

Yi Zhuzhu snorted coldly: "I'm not reminding you on purpose, I just can't stand seeing someone being so stupid."

Yu Mingyao: “…”

Take a deep breath, she is not angry!

After listening to Yu Mingyao's story, Lin Chuanbai nodded and said, "Sponsorship, do you know how much it is? Tell me the number."

Then he ordered Lin Yihong, "Write a list and explain the whole story clearly."

Seeing that Lin Chuanbai agreed directly, Yu Mingyao confirmed with him, "Uncle-in-law, does this kind of sponsorship have benefits, such as increasing popularity?"

Lin Chuanbai smiled and nodded, "Yes, for example, if we use the name of Wuwei Restaurant now, we will provide banners or slogans, and your classmates will see the words Wuwei Restaurant. Some people who have never been there may want to try it. Some people who have been there but forgot about it before will feel proud when they see it now, thinking that they have dug up this treasure. Some people are familiar with it and go there often to feel that they have good vision, etc. This can increase awareness and promote consumption."

Yu Mingyao would have refused before because he thought it was useless and it would be a shame to throw such huge amount of money into the water. But now after hearing what he said, he realized that he had been wrong and this matter would be beneficial to them.

Lin Chuanbai explained: "It also depends on the amount and the scale. If there are a lot of people, more sponsorship will allow more people to see it and it is worth it. But if the sponsorship is high but the flow of people is low, it will attract little attention, then it is a loss-making event."

Yu Mingyao felt that she had learned something new, and Lin Yihong and Lin Yining also listened with great interest.

Lin Chuanbai gave them some economics books and asked them to read them slowly. Learning is the most important thing. The free time after studying is the time to broaden their horizons. There is no harm in learning more. If they can read them carefully and can understand something, then there will be no problem for them to take this path.

When Yu Xiangan returned to Yangcheng, Lin Yining brought her little sister with her and asked her to see her. "Mom, this is my new good friend. Isn't she very cute?"

Ye Jingjing lowered her head shyly, then raised it and looked at Yu Xiangan bravely. Her voice was a little low, but very clear: "Hello, Auntie."

Yu Xiangan smiled: "Hello, your name is Jingjing, right? Let's get along well in the future." It is easy to win the favor of such an introverted, shy and cute girl.

After asking about her preferences, Yu Xiangan specially made a lot of her favorite dishes.

There is no female role of this age in Ye Jingjing's life. In her daily life, there are only her father and teacher. Her father is a careless person and she has to take care of herself most of the time.

After receiving Yu Xiangan's concern, she looked particularly happy, with her whole face flushed.

When Lin Yining saw this, he reflected on whether he had gotten too much and therefore did not cherish it. Looking at her and then looking at himself, this feeling became even stronger.

Whether you interact with others passively or actively, you can often see things in other people that you would overlook in yourself. As the saying goes, there is always a teacher among three people.

This kind of reflection is also a form of learning.

After Ye Jingjing left, Lin Yining sat next to Yu Xiangan, holding her arm and unwilling to let go: "Mom, you haven't been here for a while, what are you busy with?"

Yu Xiangan rubbed her hair and said, "Mom is choosing a new location for the factory and preparing to relocate."

Lin Yining was surprised: "Why? Isn't that place big enough now?"

Yu Xiangan: "It's not that it's not big enough, but this piece of land can play a greater value in the future. There is no need to build a factory in a prosperous place. After moving away, it can be used to build a plaza, a hotel, a food city, an office building, and so on."

If the area where she reselected the factory address develops in the future, she can move again. Every move represents a correct choice on her part. She would not move if there was no value.

In addition to the factory, Yu Xiangan is also building a new office building.

Knowing how high the price of real estate will soar in the future, it would be a waste of resources if we don’t buy more and build a few more houses to store them before the prices go up.

Especially office buildings in the central area of ​​the Special Administrative Region.

Even if you don't rent it out, you can easily earn hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in rent per floor in the future.

Lin Yining exclaimed: "Is that so? Then how to build the new factory? Have you decided?"

Yu Xiangan: “Not yet. I plan to consult a professional.” Ask a specialized planner to help her plan the area.

In the early stages of starting a business, she just built the factory without paying attention to anything else. Now she sees that some of the plans are unreasonable, some are repeated, and there is a waste of land, so she has to rebuild it. Now that she has time and money, she wants to plan it well.

Yu Xiangan already had an idea in this regard. Yu Xiangan looked at Lin Chuanbai and said, "I want to go back to school and have the School of Architecture and Design host a design competition. I will give them a certain area of ​​land and let them play freely. I will let the teachers be the judges to see which land is used more reasonably and which one looks more pleasing to the eye."

In this way, she got the design drawings, her junior classmates in the school were exposed and won a bonus, and the school also got an opportunity to become famous and expand its influence.

Lin Chuanbai nodded and said, "I think it should be no problem." The school will not refuse.

There was indeed no problem. After acquiring the land, Yu Xiangan returned to the capital and Aoki University. As soon as he brought it up, the other party immediately became interested and asked about the details.

Yu Xiangan is quite famous in their school. So far, among those who have gone into the industry, her career is the biggest. Last year, she donated a large number of books to the school library.

Among them, there are many foreign books that have not yet been included here.

Because of this reason, the school has a good impression of Yu Xiangan.

Not to mention that this is a good thing that kills three birds with one stone.

After discussion, it was finally decided that all junior and senior students could participate, and some well-known professors from the School of Architecture would be invited to serve as judges. The first place prize would be 10,000 yuan, the second place would be 5,000 yuan, and the third place would be 1,000 yuan.

At this time, workers' wages have increased, and a salary of over one hundred yuan is not uncommon, but ten thousand yuan is still a huge sum of money.

As for whether the designs drawn by these students will not meet the standards, there are judges to check them, and they usually ask the teachers if they encounter something they don't understand. How can they get an unreasonable design after asking the teachers?

What Yu Xiangan wanted most was a usable design. If it was not usable, no matter how good-looking it was, it would be useless.

As soon as Yu Xiangan submitted the topographic map and area, the competition began. It was advertised on the bulletin board. In the School of Architecture, teachers would also mention it a few words before class, and many people signed up.

Surprisingly a lot.

A large number of manuscripts were eliminated just through preliminary screening.

There were also many sophomores who protested to their teachers, asking why they were not eligible to participate, and they also wanted to give it a try.

Their basic skills are definitely not as solid as those of their seniors. When asked, Yu Xiangan could only say that there would be another chance next time and this would not be the only time.

This was no small gesture. Liu Mingyue heard about it from someone else, who brought some water chestnut cakes she made herself to chat with her. "You are really generous. If you have too much money and don't know where to spend it, come to me. I can be of great help to you."

Yu Xiangan picked up a piece of water chestnut cake with a bamboo stick and put it into his mouth: "I have other purposes. You know, it costs a lot of money to buy bones? I want my junior brothers and sisters to know me, to know that I am a generous person. If they are considering jobs, they can consider me."

Liu Mingyue laughed: "How is it? This is the best one I have made so far. Does it taste good? Ahem, I knew there must be other reasons. You can definitely achieve your goal. The jobs assigned to us now are not as good as before. More and more junior brothers and sisters choose private jobs." After all, there is one job for one person. The previous job was occupied and it is impossible for him to retire so soon. Naturally, the later people will not be assigned to any good places.

To be honest, private enterprises are indeed not as secure as state-owned ones, but it also has an advantage, which is that the treatment will be higher, more flexible, and there are not so many rules and regulations.

If you are brave enough and have ideas, this would be a good choice. However, Liu Mingyue does not have the courage to go back into the entertainment industry.

This does not prevent her from admiring her old classmate who has gone into business. "When you resigned, who could have thought that you would have achieved what you have now? Do you remember how everyone advised you back then? Now no one would say it's a pity. Also, when you donated books last year, everyone gave you a thumbs up."

The longer the reform and opening-up lasts, the more unchanged the policies are, the less prejudice there is against people doing business, and money becomes more and more useful. There are even many people who think that having money is the way to go, and they laugh at the poor rather than at prostitutes.

"Besides designing the competition, do you have anything else to do when you come back this time?"
