Chapter 89 The pattern is secretly showing a big
The plan that Secretary Lang brought out was certainly not the one Yan Xue gave him. It was the one he had revised and polished, and some of the content had been deleted.
But it was enough to shock everyone. Jinchuan Forest Farm had only just reaped the benefits of a year, and they were already willing to donate their resources? Was it so selfless?
Then I opened it and saw that he wasn't going to share the technology, but to sell the fungus strains to other forest farms...
Before Director Liu could question him, Secretary Lang said, "It's not that I don't want to share the technology, but even if I do, other forest farms won't be able to use it."
He looked helpless. "Cultivating this strain is very difficult. The spores must be extracted the year before. Where can I get them now?"
This is indeed a problem. It's November now and the weather is freezing cold. Where can we find fresh wood ear mushrooms?
Director Liu was obviously unwilling to give up. "Can't we just dry it? Dried food is not cooked food."
"Our technician Yan hasn't tried this either," Secretary Lang said. "How about I go back and ask her about the extraction method, and you give it a try?"
The words are very polite, but the meaning is not so polite. Do you know more than our technician Yan?
Director Liu was choked at that moment. He found that Lang Zhongting was really bold now. Relying on Qu Mingli's support, he even dared not give him face.
Secretary Lang was very clear about this. He had already boarded Qu Mingli's boat, so it made no difference whether he gave face to Director Liu or not.
Seeing that Director Liu didn't say anything, he continued to explain, "Cultivating the fungus requires a specialized incubation room. It's almost December now, and other forest farms can't build one."
This is also a problem. The soil is now frozen solid, so it is impossible to build a house. It will be too late to build one next year.
Moreover, it sounds very troublesome to cultivate this strain of fungus. Even if other forest farms have cultivation rooms, they still have to be able to cultivate it.
Director Liu said nothing more, and it was even less likely that anyone else would say anything. If other forest farms also wanted to grow wood ear mushrooms next year, they really could only buy the fungus spawn from Jinchuan Forest Farm.
This is really true. Instead of letting others use the technology, they got another business. Director Liu was very upset.
"Does anyone have any objection to Comrade Lang Zhongting's suggestion?" Qu Mingli asked everyone.
After being slapped in the face just now, who would argue against it at this moment? Everyone expressed that they had no objection.
So the matter was settled, but then a new question arose: which forest farm should be allowed to do it? We couldn't have all of them do it, right?
The reason why Jinchuan Forest Farm can achieve such a good yield this year is that it uses wood from three forest farms. Even if the logging task this year is heavier than last year, at most two more points can be opened.
Someone pondered, "Didn't Jinchuan Forest Farm request wood from three other forest farms last year? Why not just choose from these three?"
It was a good idea. "After all, these three forest farms are very responsive to the bureau's call and cooperate with the bureau's work. They can definitely be given priority."
"It's not like other people won't cooperate with the bureau." Someone else disagreed, "Didn't Jinchuan Forest Farm eventually close down?"
Who doesn't have a few acquaintances at the forest farm down there? Who wouldn't want to help their acquaintances get a chance for something like this?
Then someone mentioned other forest farms. “They’re all on a small train line, so it’s convenient to transport fungus strains back and forth and exchange techniques.”
"Wouldn't Wangshan Forest Farm be more convenient? The road was just built this year. We don't have to wait for a train or a combustion engine. We can go back and forth by horse-drawn carriage."
Everyone held their own opinions, and Director Liu was even trying to smooth things over. "For something this important, we should at least ask the opinions of a few forest farms, right?"
This was what Qu Mingli had said when they were planning to build the road, and he used it to his advantage. "We've been discussing this for so long, but what if the farm doesn't have enough funds? What if they don't have the will?"
Finally, he concluded, "So we need to call all the comrades from the various forestry farms to hold a meeting to discuss this matter."
But I guess once this meeting is over, all the forest farms will have received the news one after another, and then everyone will show off their abilities to see who is more capable.
Qu Mingli knew everything in his mind, and he also knew that Director Liu would make such a suggestion either to harm others or to benefit himself.
But he didn't object. "Let's wait until all the forest farms come to the meeting at the end of the month and discuss it."
Sure enough, as soon as this group dispersed, other forest farms soon received the news, and someone even called Secretary Lang to inquire about the situation.
"You're asking about growing wood ear mushrooms? The yield? Over 3,000 kilograms. If I had it, how could I fake it? I've already handed the money over to the bureau."
I received several calls in one day. For a call like Wangshan Forest Farm which was close by, the secretary even came on a bicycle.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that the production was so high?" He came in after a cold breeze and was hit by the heat when he entered. "Your office is quite warm."
"Xiao Qi built a fire wall using a boiler." Secretary Lang pointed to the fire walls around him and poured him a glass of water.
The secretary of Wangshan Forest Farm was clearly not interested. He said, "You're quite capable. You've managed to do something big without making any noise. I thought it would take some trial and error since it was the first year."
"Didn't our technician Yan figure that out last year?" Secretary Lang laughed. "How could I dare tell the bureau if I wasn't sure?"
Hearing about the technician Yan, the secretary of Wangshan Forest Farm was even more puzzled. "Where did you find such a person? In all the years I've been in the forest farm, I've never heard that wood ear mushrooms can be grown."
Secretary Lang's smile deepened now. He picked up the enamel pot and took a sip of water. "Actually, you've also met this Technician Yan."
"I've seen him too?" The secretary of Wangshan Forest Farm was clearly surprised. "I don't have any impression of him. Where did you see him?"
"It was last year's poetry recitation, and our female lead." Secretary Lang smiled calmly.
The secretary of Wangshan Forest Farm actually had some recollection of this and was stunned when he heard it. "You mean that little girl? How old is she, and she has such ability?"
She has many abilities. You'll find out when the meeting starts. Secretary Lang added, "Qi Fang is her lover."
The secretary of Wangshan Forest Farm was really fooled by him. It turned out that all the good-looking and capable people were in your forest farm, right?
What kind of shit luck did Jinchuan Forest Farm have? Not only did they pick up Qi Fang for free, but Qi Fang also brought them a technician who can grow wood ear mushrooms...
The secretary of Wangshan Forest Farm didn't want to sound sarcastic, but he couldn't help but say so. After saying so, he asked, "Is your technician Yan doing a pilot project? I want to go over and take a look."
"It's okay to go over and take a look, but we can only let Observer Guo accompany you," Secretary Lang said. "Our technician Yan is still in confinement after giving birth."
Oh, this pilot project was carried out by your Technician Yan while she was pregnant. Your Technician Yan is awesome, right?
The secretary of Wangshan Forest Farm didn't want to talk anymore, but when he arrived at the pilot site and saw Guo Changan, he was still surprised, but he didn't show it.
After visiting the pilot site before and after, especially observing the wood ear mushrooms planted there, he had a rough idea of what was going on and was ready to leave.
Before leaving, he specifically told Secretary Lang, "There's going to be a meeting at the bureau in a couple of days. You have to speak up for me. Our two forest farms are so close. It's not as convenient to book someone else as it is for us."
The last time Jinchuan Forest Farm had such a good relationship with people was when Qi Fang was repairing a tractor. Secretary Lang nodded his head and said, "Okay, okay, I definitely will."
Then, just after we sent the people away, a motorcycle truck from Xiaojinchuan Forest Farm arrived. The secretary of Xiaojinchuan Forest Farm came down to give a tour and said something similar before leaving.
Secretary Lang still smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, of course." It seemed as if he would accept everyone who came.
Director Ning's office was right next to his, so he heard some of it, but he didn't know if he agreed to everything. He would then decide who to speak up for and who not to speak up for.
However, Director Ning is only the second-in-command, and it is not his turn to attend the meeting at the bureau. He just needs to do his job well.
But the forest farm had a new secretary coming every time, and they all went to visit the pilot project. The forest farm was so small that the news spread quickly.
It is not convenient to disturb Yan Xue as she is in confinement at home, but Lang Yue'e has heard a lot of talk recently, all of which are worried that other forest farms will also do this, affecting the pilot project of Jinchuan Forest Farm.
When Lang Yue'e came to visit Yan Xue and her children, she mentioned this casually, "I'm worried that other forest farms will also learn from this, and I'm also worried that I won't be able to get tree stumps next year."
Everyone still remembers the incident where Yan Xue had her tree stump snatched away by someone, and I’m afraid that Jinchuan Forest Farm will encounter the same situation.
Yan Xue just smiled after hearing this and said, "It's okay, it won't affect us, and it can even bring us some extra income."
Yan Xue had taken the initiative to ask Secretary Lang for Lang Yue'e, not only because she was his daughter, but also because she was knowledgeable, tactful, and quiet. Sure enough, Lang Yue'e didn't say anything after hearing this, but instead teased the child next to her, "Why do I look like my dad?"
When Yan Xue was pregnant, she was willing to eat and exercise regularly. The child was well taken care of and opened his eyes two days after birth. He really looked more like his father.
Yan Xue and Yan Jigang both have big round eyes like their mother, but the little one is like his father, with curved inner corners and curved outer corners.
Sometimes Yan Xue looked at him. She knew he was still young and couldn't see clearly, but she felt that he was looking at her. She couldn't help but scratch his nose and asked, "Why don't you look like me?"
The little guy looked at her, moved his little hands and feet, and made a few sounds with his little mouth, as if responding to her.
Lang Yue'e's heart melted at the sight of her, and she quickly hugged her, "Why are you so beautiful?" She then asked Yan Xue, "Have you named the child yet?"
Speaking of this, Yan Xue couldn't help but lower her eyes to the baby's face, "It's awake, named Qi Yanyu."
This made Lang Yue'e stunned for a moment, then she laughed, "Could it be Yan's surname?"
Yan Xue didn't say anything, which made Lang Yue'e laugh even harder. "That's true. Isn't your little Qi quite reserved?"
Yan Xue used to think Qi Fang was quite reserved, but this man has indeed become a little less reserved recently, especially when it comes to naming his child.
Normally, when naming a child in this era, people would either use a red name to refer to the founding of the country or the army, or follow the family tree. Even if neither is true, it should be a blessing or hope for the child.
But Qi Yanyu, Qi Yanyu, isn’t she talking about her meeting with Qi Fang, a meeting that was so coincidental and so wrong.
But the man seemed to have thought of it long ago. When he mentioned the name, his peach blossom eyes looked at her intently and he said that he felt the name was very meaningful.
What else can Yan Xue say? Commemorating their meeting is better than letting this straight man from the science and engineering department mess around and start a hydrostatic black fungus, right?
Anyway, Qi Yanyu has no say in the matter, and he doesn't even know that his father secretly showed off a big trick when he named him.
If Liu Weiguo heard about this after returning from the mountain, he would definitely shout out that he was an expert. After all, he had been holding it in for several days before he finally came up with the name of Ai Rong.
Yan Xue continued to enjoy her confinement peacefully, not caring how many people outside were moved by her plan.
Several waves of people came from Jinchuan Forest Farm, and the town forestry bureau was also busy. On the day of the meeting, each forest farm even came up with a specific plan in order to seize this opportunity.
Of course, there are also some idiots who feel that they have no advantages in any aspect and simply don't even bother to fight for it, and happily lie at the bottom of the pit like a salted fish.
Then, on the day of the meeting, I realized that my forest farm was not prepared, that I was unique, that I stood out from the crowd...
At that time, the silly guy felt a little uneasy, especially after being looked at with strange eyes by everyone.
It seems that everyone is working very actively except him. Although he is indeed not enterprising, shouldn't this matter be announced before today's meeting?
While Tiehanhan was speechless, Qu Mingli still pretended to inform everyone of the matter and then asked for everyone's opinions.
Everyone immediately expressed their willingness to actively cooperate with the bureau's work and listed the advantages of their own forest farms.
Those who are close to the Jinchuan Forest Farm, have large forest farms and large populations, and have learned the leaders' ideas particularly well and are particularly progressive...
Finally, when he got to Tie Hanhan, he was too embarrassed to say that he was unwilling to cooperate with the bureau's work. He also said that their forest farm was capable of doing it, so let them do it.
Compared with other forest farms, his words were dry and no leaders in the bureau spoke for him.
The remaining five were very excited. Two of them were even more active. They not only asked Director Liu to speak for them, but also asked others to do so.
Qu Mingli quietly watched them argue, watching Director Liu openly siding with one or two forest farms. He waited until the argument was almost over before remarking, "It seems everyone's very determined."
Everyone nodded, and some who were good at flattering even said that it was their duty to actively cooperate with the bureau's work and contribute to the country.
Then they heard Qu Mingli say, "Since everyone is so willing, let's do it together."
Everyone was stunned. "Work together?" "How?" "Each of the remaining six forest farms will have a pilot site?"
Unexpectedly, Qu Mingli really meant this. Everyone frowned when they heard it, and Director Liu objected on the spot, "Where can we get so many tree stumps and substandard wood?"
Director Liu pointed out the most concerning issue for everyone, "Jinchuan Forest Farm used wood from three forest farms to grow this much. If every forest farm had one, even that scale wouldn't be enough to handle the trouble."
He even pointed at Qu Mingli and said, "Are you planning to cut down additional trees just for the wood ear cultivation? These trees are national resources and will be of great use to the country."
"Of course not." Qu Mingli pushed his glasses and smiled. "Our Forestry Bureau doesn't have it, but don't the Forestry Bureaus in other towns have it?"
He slowly looked around at everyone in the conference room and said, "We can go to the Forestry Bureau in other towns and buy it at the same price as firewood."
This is the most important part of Yan Xue's plan. Since Yan Xue handed in the plan, she had no intention of doing something small and only making money from the mushroom seeds of the two forest farms.
It just so happened that he didn't plan to do a small-scale operation and only set up three pilot projects in Chengshui with limited logging volume.
Qu Mingli knocked on the table and said, "So it depends on your wishes. If you want to get it, tell me the quantity and I will go to the secretaries of other towns to buy it."
Now everyone understood. Yes, why didn’t they think of buying it from the Forestry Bureau in other towns?
The tree stumps from their Chengshui Forestry Bureau weren't enough, but there were three towns in the county with forest farms. Besides their county, there were other counties in the city...
Who's still arguing about this? Why not just go out and buy it? Even if you can't get the firewood price, it won't cost much.
After all, in their place, tree stumps and wood that does not meet the standards can be used to grow wood ear mushrooms and make money, but in others' place they are just firewood and are worthless at all.
Now no one cares about Director Liu anymore. Every forest farm can grow crops anyway, so who would bother to ask him for connections?
Moreover, Director Liu's vision is obviously not good enough. Secretary Qu has already left Chengshui and is looking at the entire county, but he is still only concerned with fighting within his own circle.
As a result, they had to change their original plans and go back to see how big their own forest farm could handle.
Even the fool who had not been prepared before started to think about it. If this was done, it would not only be a matter of political achievements, but it would also be easy for him to get someone in if he wanted to.
Besides, who would complain about their own forest farm being profitable? It doesn't require regular forest farm staff; if it's just planting and harvesting, the family members can do it.
Everyone was a little disinterested in continuing this meeting, except for Secretary Lang, who remained smiling. "If you're interested, I have a copy of the ear field site selection instructions written by Technician Yan. You can take a look at it."
When they heard that the location of the ear field was very particular, everyone rushed to take a look, and those who had notebooks with them for meeting records even copied them down.
Wangshan Forest Farm is closest to Jinchuan Forest Farm. The secretary even asked Secretary Lang, "When will your technician Yan be released from confinement? Why not have her visit our forest farm?"
Secretary Lang then explained, "Our technician Yan is the female lead in the poetry recitation last year. She just gave birth this month."
He pretended again, and the secretary of Wangshan Forest Farm helped him to pretend, "Qi Fang is her lover." Then he looked at everyone who was just like him at the beginning, with a speechless and sour look in his eyes.
In addition to the location of the ear field, the information written by Yan Xue also included the selection of ear wood and how many ear woods can be planted in one bottle of fungus, for everyone's reference.
"Take a look and tell me how many bottles of bacteria you need. This is a hassle, and we need to start cultivating it in January."
Secretary Lang said this, and after everyone returned, they hurried to hold a meeting to decide the amount of wood and fungus strains to be used.
The former was reported to Qu Mingli, who purchased it, while the latter was reported to Secretary Lang, who was then brought to Yan Xue by Lang Yue'e and Guo Chang'an.
"I was wondering why you aren't worried at all." Lang Yue'e was Secretary Lang's daughter, so she knew that it was actually Yan Xue who came up with the idea of buying wood.
When she first heard that other forest farms were also going to conduct pilot projects, she, like everyone else, thought that they could only do two at most and sell a maximum of 2,000 bottles of mushroom spores. She never expected that there would be so many.
Lang Yue'e took out the list she had written down, "Four forest farms have already reported back. The one that requested the most is Thirteenth Line, 2,000 bottles."
When she first heard this number, she was really surprised, but Yan Xue was not very surprised. "Their forest farm is large and located deep in the forest, so it's not easy to start a side business."
Line 13 is at the end of the train route, which is very close to the protected area. It is very troublesome to come here on a normal day, and many things are sold directly to the purchasing station in the field.
But because their forest farm is large, they have a lot of wood left over from their own logging, and if they purchase some from outside, they can fully consume it.
"Then there's Wangshan Forest Farm. They ordered 1,800 bottles." Lang Yue'e knew this without Yan Xue saying it. The two places are close to each other, and Wangshan Forest Farm has come to see it in person. She has a better understanding of wood ear cultivation and is more confident.
These two companies alone sold nearly 4,000 bottles of fungus strains and earned 2,000 yuan. This year, they made a lot of money just by selling fungus strains.
This reminded Guo Changan of Yan Xue's words: "It would be great if everyone started growing it. I could also sell the strains and the materials used to grow them."
In just over a year, she started selling mushroom strains and even went beyond Jinchuan to sell them to every forest farm in Chengshui.
Guo Changan listened quietly at the side, and waited until Lang Yue'e finished speaking before reporting on his work. "I calculated the pilot cultivation room, and it's no problem to cultivate 10,000 bottles. Sawdust is easy to get, and rice bran and corn husks can be bought from nearby villages. The main thing we need is canning bottles."
This is their biggest problem at the moment. Even if they were to collect the products on a pilot basis throughout the entire year, plus the ones collected by Yan Xue before, there would still be less than 2,000 bottles, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the huge demand.
"I'll go back and tell my dad," Lang Yue'e said, "and ask him to contact the secretaries of other forest farms and collect some from them as well."
These fungus strains are to be sold to other forest farms. If there is a delay, the other forest farms will also suffer losses, so naturally we will not refuse.
Yan Xue thought for a moment and said, "We can charge three cents each and have Secretary Lang contact Secretary Qu to set up a shop in town."
If it is still not enough by then, you can only buy it at a high price at the purchasing station. Even if the Chengshui purchasing station is not enough, you can go to the county and other towns to get enough.
So within two days, Chengshui Forestry Bureau added a new purchasing point that only accepted canned bottles, but the price was one cent higher than the purchasing station.
Even a penny more expensive is still expensive. Many people who originally wanted to sell the bottles to the purchasing station immediately changed their location and sold the bottles to the Forestry Bureau. Even Director Liu's wife went to sell two.
When she came back, she complained to Director Liu, "Your bureau wanted to collect cans, but why didn't you tell me? I found two when I was cleaning the warehouse a few days ago, and I sold them to the collection station."
Director Liu didn't want to listen to her at all, let alone talk.
Ever since Qu Mingli ordered all the forest farms under him to engage in wood ear cultivation, his situation has become even worse.
After all, if you work with him, you can only compete with the limited resources in Chengshui. Qu Mingli allows these forest farms to plant whatever they want and plant as much as they want.
Because he made a mistake in this matter, his words are no longer as influential in the bureau, and many people no longer give him face as before.
When Qu Mingli suddenly appeared and snatched away the position of secretary, he thought he was unlucky enough. He never expected that life is full of ups and downs, and he could be even more unlucky...
In comparison, Yan Xue's situation was completely different from his. Not only did Qi Fang get another salary increase, but Secretary Lang also reported both of them as advanced workers to the bureau.
With their contributions to the bureau this year, it is certain that both of them will be rated as advanced individuals of the bureau, and Jinchuan Forest Farm can also be rated as an advanced unit.
It was also at this time that Zhou Li, who had been silent, finally wrote back to Qi Fang.
