Liu Xiaoyu stood on the small mound that Huo Qianli often visited, holding up her camera and clicking the shutter to capture this scene forever.
Another bright day came. After working intensively for a day and a night, the people transported the last few baskets of Salvia miltiorrhiza to the drying yard. They were exhausted but excited.
Because, the amount of Salvia miltiorrhiza harvested this time was really too much!
They didn't notice it when they were busy collecting them, but now when they focused their attention, everyone's eyes widened.
This drying yard used to be the only concrete surface in Hushan Village. It was the size of two basketball courts and could accommodate nearly thirty drying mats at the same time.
Now there are twenty drying mats placed here, and the salvia miltiorrhizas on the drying mats are stacked up in the shape of a small hill, densely packed.
Then more than two hundred baskets were placed around, and almost all the baskets in the three groups were used up.
A villager swallowed his saliva and said, "How many are there?"
"One basket weighs 100 jin, and more than 200 weighs more than 20,000 jin. On the drying mat there must be at least 1,000 to 2,000 jin. There must be at least 30,000 to 40,000 jin on the drying mat. There must be 60,000 to 70,000 jin in total!"
"Hammer, we used to have a group of 10,000 or 20,000 kilograms, but we couldn't even get one-fifth of this. I think it's at least 100,000 kilograms."
"I think it's more than 100,000 jin. There are 180 acres of land in total. 100,000 jin per acre is only 500 jin, which is only 200 kilograms. Expert Hu said there are at least 400 kilograms per acre!"
Listening to the discussion, a villager nearby grinned and said, "It's coming! It's coming!"
"No way. We have to keep watch these days. We must not let those bastards get jealous and sabotage us!"
"Right, we must keep watch, send more people!"
Next, the salvia miltiorrhiza will be exposed to the sun for several days in a drying yard. When the moisture content drops below 12%, it will be dry to the touch and break easily when bent. Then it can be packaged and placed in a cool place to dry, and then wait for delivery.
So during these few days, nothing can go wrong.
"But judging from the current situation, I'm afraid this drying yard can't hold it."
"Hey! The dam at the village committee can also be used. We can just split into two groups to guard it."
"That's right, let's talk to Officer Huo about it!"
"Eh? Officer Huo?"
“It was still there last night!”
A villager saw Gu Daqiang coming over and asked quickly, "Village head, where is Officer Huo?"
Gu Daqiang said, "He went to Jincheng!"
Everyone was stunned, and then excited smiles appeared on their faces!
What else can you do in Jincheng at this time!
It’s time to get the money!
Gu Daqiang glanced at them calmly, "Officer Huo didn't sleep all night last night either. He just went back to change his clothes and left. He doesn't owe us anything. We have to fight for our own spirit and take care of the house affairs! Don't make things difficult for him!"
Everyone nodded in agreement. "Village Chief, you decide what to do!"
......
On the minibus to Dongjiang County, Huo Qianli and Lao Tang sat side by side.
Lao Tang took out his phone and sent a text message to Xia Wanqing, "Boss Xia, is it ok for me to report to you on the harvesting of Salvia miltiorrhiza in Hushan Village?"
After a while, Xia Wanqing replied with a "OK", and then Lao Tang called.
"Hello, Mr. Xia. After two days and one night of harvesting, the Hushan Village Cooperative has harvested all the ordered products. The results are gratifying. Mr. Hu is on site to guide the follow-up processing. I will go back to Jincheng to ask you about the arrangements for the follow-up work. Are you free today?"
Xia Wanqing said, "Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock."
Tang Yuxuan hesitated and said, "There is one more thing. Mr. Huo came with me. What do you think of his arrangements?"
Xia Wanqing thought for a moment and said, "How about this, tell him that we'll have hotpot together at the Lion House tonight."
Before Tang Yuxuan had time to be happy, he heard Xia Wanqing say, "You haven't been home for a long time. When you get home, go back and spend time with your wife and children."
