Chapter 116 Chinese Herbal Medicine Industry...
It’s not that Wu Sheng made any serious mistake of deceiving his superiors and concealing the truth from his subordinates, but the villages below, as the last needle of the entire system, have some things that are tacitly understood, and if they really start to investigate, it will be endless.
The village cadres of Qingshan Village answered Fu Rui's kind questions with uneasy hearts and tense minds.
On the other side, Chen Yin followed her uncle to inspect the citron trees on the hilltop and confirmed that there were no problems with the varieties. They were growing very strong and there would definitely be a harvest next year.
When Wu Qiufeng talks about the citron tree, he knows everything about it, as if he is taking care of his own child.
"Yinyin, this is the first time I've realized that growing fruit trees is no easier than raising children. Especially since fruit trees can't talk. If you're not careful, they'll curl or turn yellow. If I can't find the cause, they'll just die in front of me."
"Look, there were originally two saplings growing in that spot. Because they weren't discovered in time, their roots had all rotted. They couldn't be saved, so they took them home and burned them as firewood."
"No wonder, I just felt that the gap here was a bit big." Chen Yin looked in the direction of her uncle's finger and nodded.
"Do we need to replant next year?"
Wu Qiufeng smiled and waved his hand, looking up at the mountain not far away where the village party secretary's family lived. "It's just two trees. There's no need to rush. Wait until next year when the fruits are harvested. Then I can buy them together with the village. Maybe I can get a lower price."
At the end, his tone was full of longing and smile, as if he had already seen the day of harvest.
Chen Yin couldn't help but imagine the scene of the villagers growing medicinal herbs together and every household making money.
"Uncle, you are becoming more and more successful now."
"Hehe!" Wu Qiufeng chuckled shyly when he heard the compliment from Chen Yin.
In his joy, he couldn't help but share how much he and the village party secretary's family enjoyed the medicinal herb cultivation in Qingshan Village.
He knew that Chen Yin was just a doctor who used medicinal herbs and didn't care about planting, but when he encountered such a big thing, he couldn't help but talk to Chen Yin.
Wu Dongmei, who was not far away, heard what her elder brother said, pouted angrily, and walked over quickly.
"Brother, you and the village party secretary have a good idea. You want to lead the whole village to discover the truth, but some people don't think you're just crossing the river by feeling the stones and being their pawns. They all have their own little plans. When we came here, that guy from CCB stopped us halfway."
When Wu Qiufeng heard Wu Jianxing's name, he felt a little ashamed. When his eyes swept across the mountain where the citron trees were planted, his eyes flashed slightly.
"They're just a little impatient. The village party secretary has already said nothing will happen. Besides, we're standing on CCB's land, so it's normal for him to have some concerns."
"Brother, you may think people are good, but they may not be. Just now, Jianxing directly stopped Yinyin and said that he wanted to sell Chinese medicinal herbs to Huimintang."
"What!"
Wu Qiufeng suddenly raised his voice and shouted in disbelief.
He could tolerate the villagers looking at him quietly, after all, he would teach the villagers later. However, Wu Qiufeng was not so tolerant of those who dared to stand in front of his niece and try to use connections.
Their family is now causing trouble for Yin Yin, yet there are outsiders who dare to have bad intentions?
Wu Dongmei felt that this was not enough and continued, "They said the land under our feet belonged to CCB. Now the land has been exchanged and signed, the land under our feet is ours. Big brother, you can't be so lenient."
"It's just a woman's kindness." Wu Qingluan added in a clear voice to help her sister-in-law.
Wu Dongmei nodded heavily, "That's right! Mom and I heard it just now."
Hearing this, Wu Qiufeng's expression became serious and he immediately made a promise.
"Don't worry, little sister. When I get back, I'll discuss this with the village party secretary and resolutely put an end to the petty plots in some people's hearts. I'll also give them a heads-up on our plans. We've already moved the mountain, and there's no going back on our word."
"Now that life is getting better, everyone is starting to pay more attention to their health. There's no problem selling medicinal herbs. We can't always bother Yinyin. As the saying goes, two cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. I don't believe that a whole village can't figure out a way to sell medicinal herbs."
"Brother, as long as you understand it in your heart." Wu Dongmei nodded with satisfaction.
After talking about the villagers' spying, the work on the mountain was almost done, and Chen Yin and others began to plan the teaching of concoction.
Upon hearing the key step to making money, the family of eight gathered together and eagerly discussed where to pick suitable teaching aids - green oranges.
The family's figures were particularly conspicuous among the green mountains, and they were spotted by Fu Rui, who was asking the villagers to lead the way and observe the situation in the village.
Since she entered the village, it was the first time she saw so many people on the mountain. She couldn't help but ask out of curiosity:
"Village Chief Wu, what are they planting on that hill? It looks like quite a few people are busy working on it."
When Wu Sheng heard this, he immediately looked up at the mountains in the distance. When he found that it was Wu Gui's family, he opened and closed his mouth, not knowing how to explain.
The village chief standing by couldn't care less and immediately replied respectfully:
"It's the most common orange tree in Tongxi. Villagers are looking for ways to make money, and growing fruit is one way out."
When he heard that it was an orange, the light in Fu Rui's eyes disappeared instantly.
There is no telling how many people in Dongyu are growing citrus fruits. A mountain of orange trees cannot be sold in large quantities, so one can only earn a little hard-earned money.
As the two were talking, Wu Sheng was extremely conflicted, not knowing whether he should tell others about their plan right now.
The citron trees on the mountain will not bear fruit until next year. If we say it too early, won’t it seem like we are being deliberate?
But if we don’t speak up and take advantage of the opportunity of high-ranking officials going to the countryside, who knows how long the village will have to wait to get relevant support?
After much thought, Wu Sheng decided to tell his plan.
"No! Secretary Fu, the trees planted on the mountain are trifoliate orange trees."
"Zhi?" A puzzled voice quickly came from the crowd.
Fu Rui quickly discovered something from Secretary Wu's expression, connected the word "zhi" with planting, and immediately asked:
"Are you referring to the tangerine described in the saying 'Oranges grown south of the Huai River are tangerines, while those grown north of the Huai River are tangerines'?"
Secretary Wu scratched the cigarette in his pocket with some confusion. "I don't know about that. I just know the fruit can be processed into Citrus aurantium and Citrus aurantium. Yinyin said this tree is different from the common orange tree."
When Fu Rui heard the word "Yin Yin", a figure immediately appeared in his mind.
"Are you talking about Yinyin, Doctor Chen from Huimin Hall in Tongxi Town?"
"Secretary Fu, do you know Yin Yin, the young doctor Chen?" Upon hearing that Secretary Fu knew Chen Yin, Secretary Wu's face immediately showed a hint of closeness.
Fu Rui knew that she had heard correctly. She knew that Chen Yin opened a clinic in Tongxi Town, but she didn't know that the other party was from Qingshan Village.
Thinking of what Secretary Wu had just said, she immediately realized that the planting of fruit trees on the mountain must have involved Dr. Chen.
Who is Dr. Chen?
Doctor Chen is a well-known Chinese medicine doctor in Dongyu. Now even the capital has begun to spread Doctor Chen's reputation.
Could the advice given by such a doctor be nonsense?
Fu Rui's mind was suddenly filled with lightning and thunder, and various thoughts collided in his brain. Finally, he came to a conclusion: there is room for development in the Chinese medicinal materials industry!
Why didn’t she think of developing the Chinese medicinal materials industry?
Compared to the oranges that are about to flood the entire Dongyu, isn’t growing Chinese medicinal herbs a promising way out?
Fu Rui's heart became uncontrollably hot, and his eyes, looking at the opposite mountain, were filled with two balls of fire, almost burning Chen Yin who was standing on the mountain through his sight.
Chen Yin suddenly felt like there was something on her back, but when she turned around she saw nothing.
Fu Rui said excitedly from a distance: "Secretary Wu, your village's development of Chinese medicinal herb cultivation is the first village I've found with its own ideas after visiting so many towns and villages in Yunchuan. In this era of reform and opening up, new ideas are new ways out."
"Come on! Let's go back to the village committee. Tell us in detail to the county committee how you plan to start growing Chinese medicinal herbs."
When Secretary Wu listened to Fu Rui's praise, his feet seemed to be stepping on springs and he walked unsteadily.
On the way back to the village committee, he could hardly hear what the people around him were saying. He sat in his seat in a daze, with countless scorching gazes fixed on him, which finally brought the village party secretary back to his senses from a distance.
Facing Fu Rui's excited eyes, the village party secretary felt uneasy and quickly said to the people beside him:
"Second brother, go call your uncle Gui, Qiu Feng, and Yin Yin over here. I, an old man, have made it clear."
Wu Laoer glanced at the person opposite him and found that Secretary Fu did not refute. He ran quickly towards the mountain where Chen Yin and others had just appeared.
Before Chen Yin and the others arrived, Secretary Wu could not bear Fu Rui's questioning and told them how they decided to grow Chinese medicinal herbs.
Of course, he did not forget to mention the problem they are currently facing - sales.
"Secretary Fu, things are really difficult in our village."
"It's just a small thing for our two families to plant some trifoliate orange trees, honeysuckle, and mugwort. Yinyin's clinic can help with digestion. But if the whole village plants together, it would be unreasonable to rely on a little girl like Yinyin."
"So, we would like to ask the county if there is any way to help us open up sales channels."
"Secretary Wu, you raise a very good question. We farmers grow crops to sell and make money, so sales are crucial."
"It's just that this is the first time we've heard about the development of Chinese medicinal materials, and we don't know much about the upstream and downstream industries of Chinese medicinal materials. We understand your problem and will definitely find a solution when we get back."
Fu Rui was completely immersed in thinking about the way out for developing Chinese medicinal materials and the difficulties that would be encountered, and his expression involuntarily became serious.
When Secretary Wu saw that there was a chance, he immediately shared his recent idea of how to sell the Citrus aurantium next year.
I don’t know about other things, but when it comes to sales, the people in the Commerce Bureau feel that it’s easy to do.
The people they interacted with most on a daily basis were various merchants, so they immediately echoed Secretary Wu's words, sharing the ways they knew to promote products and adding a few more.
When Chen Yin, her uncle, and her grandfather followed the village cadres to the village committee, they heard everyone's heated discussion outside the door.
The moment she entered the door, Chen Yin heard someone mention various trade fairs, which coincided with her idea.
