He Yuhan, thinking about the difficulties of growing mushrooms, said, "It's not easy to cultivate mushrooms on a large scale. Building houses requires too much investment. It would be great if we could get some plastic sheeting."
Han Yixian asked, "Plastic film? Are you talking about that kind of translucent plastic film that's as thin as paper?"
Seeing He Yuhan nod, Han Yixian added, "That kind of film isn't cheap. Because it's a new product and very rare, the price is quite high."
He Yuhan then realized that plastic film was still very scarce, unlike in the future world where all kinds could be bought easily.
She frowned and said, "That's really troublesome. Plastic film can not only let light through but also keep out the heat. If you build a closed plastic greenhouse with plastic film, you can not only grow mushrooms but also various vegetables. Even in the cold season, you can still grow them as long as the temperature inside the greenhouse reaches a certain level."
Han Yixian's eyes lit up as he listened. "Yuhan, if what you're saying can really be realized, then we can use the land to grow vegetables during the seasons when crops can't grow. Potatoes and sweet potatoes should be able to be grown too."
In Northeast China, only one crop can be grown per year. Using plastic greenhouses can improve land utilization and allow for the production of more food. This would greatly improve people's lives.
He Yuhan smiled knowingly and said, "Not only can we grow vegetables, but we can also grow grains. We can use plastic film to cultivate rice seedlings in advance and shorten the growth cycle of rice."
Han Yixian said excitedly, "Yuhan, you have opened a new window for me and inspired many new ideas."
Human imagination is limitless; you have so many ideas in your little head, I've benefited immensely from them. You can tell me any ideas you have in the future, maybe I can help you realize them.
Although plastic film is scarce and difficult to obtain, I can still find a way to get some. We can conduct experiments first to gain experience for the future.
He Yuhan thought for a moment and said, "You can bring some back for me to see first, and then I can contact them over there to get some of the same kind to mix with yours. Plastic film is very cheap there."
Han Yixian's eyes shone brightly in the darkness as he said, "Your idea is good. I'll go back and contact them to buy some."
He Yuhan said, "I have some other ideas. The low slopes and mountains around Laohewan Village are particularly suitable for planting fruit trees. The fruit can be sold after harvesting, and it can also be made into canned fruit."
The machines for producing canned fruit are relatively simple, and it is not difficult to build a cannery.
Fruit is scarce in markets across northern China right now, so canned fruit would definitely be popular. There's no worry about selling it.
Han Yixian was well aware that canned fruit was very popular, and said, "Indeed, building a cannery can encourage many villages in our city to plant fruit trees and create employment opportunities. This is a good way to boost the local economy."
He Yuhan said, "To get rich, build roads first. To develop the economy better, we must have smooth and convenient transportation. This is the most difficult point to achieve."
Han Yixian said, "As long as you have an idea, you can work hard to realize it. Road construction is a long-term project, so we can't be too hasty. We can't build all the highways into asphalt roads all at once, but we can combine various methods."
Roads can be paved with gravel, cinders, etc. Road repairs can be targeted and focused, or different sections can be divided into groups to be responsible for construction and maintenance.
For example, roads leading to various villages could be repaired by organizing local villagers in their spare time. If this continues, I believe the transportation situation will improve soon.
Just as the two were talking enthusiastically and passionately, Gu Qishen arrived with his convoy to receive the supplies.
When Han Yixian noticed the convoy approaching, he immediately had He Yuhan sit in the passenger seat, while he got into the driver's seat.
In the lead car, Gu Qishen saw the two cars behind Han Yixian flash their lights, giving a signal.
Neither of them got out of the car and tacitly continued with the original plan.
Han Yixian drove He Yuhan home, while Gu Qishen led people to transport supplies.
It was destined to be another busy, sleepless night. Although they had to stay up late, everyone was excited and thrilled. They knew that the city would have a large supply of goods again, and there would be more food to eat.
With food in hand, there's no need to panic. With the grain and supplies allocated by Han Yixian, as well as the supplies exchanged with He Yuhan, Gu Qishen and Han Yixian felt confident that the city could have a relatively prosperous and lively New Year this year.
After the handover of all the supplies was completed, the antiques that Han Yixian and Gu Qishen had sent people to collect also arrived. Han Yixian then took He Yuhan to receive the antiques and cultural artifacts.
The antiques collected this time were all of very good quality, some even quite valuable, and He Yuhan kept them all. She only selected a small portion of the more common antiques and sent them to Du Zhuoyuan. She wanted to leave the rest in this world.
He Yuhan also selected some of the jade stones that Han Yixian had collected and sent them to Du Zhuoyuan.
Even so, Du Zhuoyuan was still shocked. It's well known that jade prices are extremely high in the market; there's a saying, "Gold has a price, but jade is priceless," which speaks to the soaring jade market.
Even the relatively low-quality jade stones that He Yuhan had selected through comparison were considered top-grade jade stones by Du Zhuoyuan. Moreover, they were all quite large, which was truly rare.
Du Zhuoyuan estimated that a few pieces of jade would be equivalent to the supplies he had provided this time. Combined with the newly teleported antiques, it would be enough to buy supplies for a long time to come.
Du Zhuoyuan had the jade he received appraised by an expert, and the price was higher than he had imagined. He Yuhan was also surprised when she heard the news from Du Zhuoyuan; she hadn't expected the price of top-quality jade to be so high in the future.
Knowing that he would have more jade stones in the future, Du Zhuoyuan discussed with his father the idea of ​​establishing a jewelry company to turn these jade stones into jewelry and other finished products, which would create greater value.
They have a large quantity of top-quality jade, and will continue to receive jade of various grades in the future, so they have no worries about their jewelry company lacking raw materials. Establishing a jewelry company is the most suitable option for their long-term plans.
While Du Zhuoyuan and his team were busy setting up a jewelry company, He Yuhan was also planning a trip abroad with Han Yixian to collect various gemstones.
Perhaps they could go south first and buy some jade. It's said that jade is very cheap now; sending it to Du Zhuoyuan to be crafted into finished products and sold would be a highly profitable business.
Jadeite hasn't been hyped up yet, so maybe she can collect more top-quality jadeite. It's exciting to think about.
