Chapter 227 Using Bodhi as Medicine
"You are not even a formal employee, what qualifications do you have to talk to me?"
"Hey, Xiaoxiao isn't an official employee anymore. I have the right to criticize her now."
…
Wang Danai eventually won the argument with a slight advantage. He wiped his dry lips and said, "Let's go have breakfast. So many people are trying their best to get in, just to eat in our cafeteria."
Thinking of asking about the recent situation, Jingshu followed Wang Danai into the cafeteria.
There were fewer people eating at this time, so the two of them didn't need to queue and each got a bowl of porridge and a small plate of salted mushrooms and vegetables.
In her previous life, Jingshu dreamed of eating this kind of bland food, but in this life, she couldn't eat it. She was indeed spoiled.
After finding a seat and sitting down, Jingshu pushed the food in front of Wang Danai and said, "You eat it. I came here after breakfast."
"Then have another one. I can eat such a good meal. Are you stupid?" Wang Danai said in disbelief.
"Ahem, I have a small appetite and can't eat anymore." Jingshu lied with her eyes open.
"Okay, hi, I like people like you, thank you." Wang Danai ate his meal in a hurry.
"What happened these days? Are the ones assigned to me okay?" Jingshu asked.
"Hey, I also find it very strange when you mention this. The Gastrodia elata that I had before were all crooked and twisted. Since you cured them, I've been taking care of them every day, and they're actually growing better and better.
As for the honeysuckle that was assigned to you, President Zhou said he would give it to you to take care of. Ever since he said that, the honeysuckle has become more and more intelligent, growing better and better every day. The ones that didn't bloom before are now in full bloom, and the ones that were previously mutilated are now full grown. Although they are not as good as before the apocalypse, they are finally reaching the level of being used as medicine."
Wang Danai explained everything like a bamboo tube pouring out beans, "And the batch of astragalus you planted has also sprouted. The germination rate is much higher than that of the same period, and there are no strange symptoms like those seen with others. It can be said that even if no one is looking after these, they will definitely survive."
"But President Zhou said that these are good seeds of yours. You must have soaked them using a special method."
Jingshu nodded in surprise. It seemed that the effect of the spiritual spring was a little greater than she thought. Last time, in order not to attract so much attention, she used diluted spiritual spring again and again. She didn't expect that it would be much better than other medicinal materials, and there was no problem even if she ignored it for so long.
"That's good. What about these people? There are a lot of new faces here today. The familiar faces from last time seem to be gone." Jingshu asked.
Speaking of this, Wang Danai had a face full of grief. "Some were laid off, and some were assigned to lower levels. After all, the entire Chinese Medicine Association is so small, we don't need so many people wasting food. The lower levels are those pharmaceutical factories that have stopped working. The residue after being used as medicine can be made into inferior tablets. The efficacy is definitely average, but it still has some effect. The higher-ups are planning to reopen pharmaceutical factories. That's a tough job, and the pay is much worse than ours."
Jingshu let out a long "oh" and said that she heard later that the status of the Medicinal Materials Association was very high. Why were there only 7 formal employees in the early stage? It turned out that they were still in the process of merging.
"These people have been here for over a week. They said they want to bring all the medicinal herbs grown in the provincial capital together, and then distribute the processed herbs to the prefecture and city levels. This way, we can centralize the supply and increase efficiency. So, they're calling on experienced growers from across the provincial capital. This is just one group that's here, and there's more to come."
Wang Danai glanced around and whispered, "I heard there are some people from herbal medicine families among this group. Chairman Tie flattered you like that today. I'm afraid those people from herbal medicine families will come and cause trouble for you soon after hearing that."
Wucheng has a population of only four million, but the entire provincial capital has a population of thirty million. Even if about 15% died, there are still twenty million. Even if we calculate it based on a ratio of one in ten thousand, the Medicinal Materials Association will probably have thousands of people by then, which would be really lively.
As for the trouble that Wang Danai mentioned, Jingshu didn't think it was a big deal. She just didn't answer any questions he asked her. Anyway, she really didn't understand the professional issues.
Wang Danai
They quickly talked about all the gossip and things about the Medicinal Materials Association, and after dinner, they started to get busy.
Others are really busy.
Jingshu is busy...well, just looking after the three things she planted: Gastrodia elata, honeysuckle, and astragalus.
According to what Wang Danai said, the growth was encouraging, but in Jingshu's opinion, it was really just average, even worse than the weeds in her villa.
But even so, it grows much better than many medicinal herbs here.
After all, many medicinal herbs are just like flowers and are difficult to grow.
Jingshu thought that she had these three medicinal herbs, plus leeches were also one kind. She could take advantage of the fact that no one was raising leeches yet and take up a position in advance. Then she could raise two more medicinal herbs and solve a few more problems, and then the position of vice president would be hers securely.
But the Medicinal Materials Association is not there to do nothing. They have planted medicinal materials for the most popular diseases. Although the quantity is small, they can still be used in emergencies.
In this case, the types of plants she can choose to plant are very limited, and if she plants anything else, she will have to plant scarce ones.
Jingshu saw that aloe vera was also included in the list of medicinal herbs, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She really shouldn't be so rigid. It doesn't matter whether it is a medicine or not, as long as it has medicinal effects, it's fine.
"I can plant a Bodhi tree! And Bodhi is the nemesis of parasites! The most important thing is that this seed was given to me by Mu Xiaoxuan at that time. With this clear path, I am not afraid of being investigated at all." Jing Shu had a flash of inspiration. She always wanted to plant the Bodhi tree first, but it was not easy to take it out.
Now she had this opportunity. As a member of the Medicinal Materials Association, she had the ability and experience to grow various medicinal herbs. Her classmate Mu Xiaoxuan just happened to give her the seeds, so she planted them.
If one day, when the parasites are rampant, she takes it out again, it will not only save more people, but it will also be a great improvement for her various situations. Parasites are really scary insects for people in the end times. I hope no one will die from parasites in this life.
Jingshu did it as soon as she thought of it. She took out the Bodhi seeds from the space and planted them directly on the shelf. She also entered the planting information into the big data for evidence.
Bodhi grows very fast and needs to be repotted once a month. It can be used as medicine in four months, so there is still time to plant Bodhi.
She originally wanted to plant them by transplanting them, which would be faster, but for the fairness of the game, she chose to plant them by seeds.
