After listening, Guard Xin calculated for a moment and said, "Comrade Lin Ying, we have a lot of people in our forest farm, so we estimate we'll need several thousand grains. But I'll have to go back and report to Commander Lu again to confirm the exact number. I'll let you know when we get it."
Lin Ying was slightly surprised. Several thousand grains was no small amount. However, she understood that the forest farm's demand was indeed large, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then you should confirm the quantity as soon as possible. I can prepare in advance and try to send it to you as soon as possible."
"Thank you so much, Comrade Lin Ying. You've been a huge help to our forest farm," said Guard Xin gratefully.
A few days later, Officer Xin returned to Lin Ying's clinic and told her that the forest farm had confirmed its order for 5,000 deworming pills and had paid the agreed amount. After receiving the money, Lin Ying began working diligently to produce the pills. Some villagers, hearing that Lin Ying had received such a large order, also volunteered to help. With everyone working together, the 5,000 pills were ready in no time.
Lin Ying personally delivered the pills to the forest farm. When Commander Lu saw her, he warmly greeted her and said with a smile, "Comrade Lin Ying, if you have any good things from your place, just send them to our forest farm. We're not like those farms that can't recognize gold and jade, we don't know what's good and what's bad!"
Lin Ying knew that Commander Lu was standing up for her because the farm had turned her away, and her heart warmed. "Commander Lu, you're too kind. I'm happy to be of help. I hope these pills will work well." But she didn't mention the farm at all. Because Lin Ying also knew that there were things Commander Lu could say, but she couldn't say.
Since then, Lin Ying's insect repellent pills have proven remarkably effective at the forest farm. Keep in mind, working at the forest farm involves going directly into the mountains, often for several days at a time. Besides mosquitoes and gnats, there's also the possibility of bears and tigers, not to mention various reptiles.
Lin Ying's pills not only saved everyone from a lot of trouble, but more importantly, they were inexpensive and easy to carry. One pill could last a year. That meant they wouldn't have to worry about being bitten by insects for a whole year.
After the pills became famous, Lin Ying discussed with the village chief about passing the pill business on to the village, so that the village could have another source of income. However, this product is different from food, and there are more procedures to go through.
After hearing that Lin Ying was willing to hand over the formula to the Hunter Village, Wu Bo took care of all the procedures and quickly, a rural workshop for making deworming pills appeared.
The village chief of Hunter Village never expected that this was just the beginning. Afterwards, their workshop became increasingly professional, and with the prescriptions provided by Lin Ying, they gradually became one of the most advanced traditional Chinese medicine factories in the country. But that's a story for another time.
Now, everyone in Hunter Village is grateful that Lin Ying came to the village and was willing to share such a good thing without reservation so that everyone can benefit. With this pill workshop, many people in the village who used to only be able to make a living by tending a few acres of meager land have new livelihoods and their lives are gradually becoming more prosperous.
After the workshop was built in the village, the pills were sold to the public for 50 cents each.
Because the costs are fixed, the Hunter Village also needs to make money. Her costs come from the space, but the Hunter Village's production actually requires going up the mountain to collect herbs or ordering herbs from outside.
These all come at a cost.
After being rebuffed in the countryside last time, Lin Ying didn't bother asking them again this time if they needed it.
Unexpectedly, the village had already begun to sell the pills on a considerable scale, and the farm sent people over to order the pills from Lin Ying. They were asking for two cents per pill.
Lin Ying felt a little helpless when she heard the farm's request. She smiled and said, "Comrade, the cost of these pills is not what it used to be. In our hunter village, we have to buy medicinal herbs to make these pills, which has increased the cost in all aspects. The current selling price is 50 cents per pill. We really can't make them for 20 cents."
However, Lin Ying did not expect that these people would arrogantly look around her home before saying, "When Comrade Lin Ying moved here, our forest farm provided a thousand catties of grain. We originally thought that Comrade Lin Ying's life was really difficult, but now it seems that's not the case. Comrade Lin Ying's family is better off than a landlord's family."
"I suppose there's no shortage of food at home. So, considering the food, wouldn't it be alright if Lin Ying subsidized the extra cost herself?"
Lin Ying's face instantly turned ugly upon hearing this.
Just as she was about to speak, a furious voice suddenly rang out from outside: "Bullshit! Let that old bastard Xue Lin come here, and let's see if he dares to talk like that!"
As he spoke, Shanyu Bang walked in from outside.
It was obvious that the newcomers knew Shanyu Bang; upon seeing him, their expressions turned somewhat unpleasant.
The leader of the group forced a smile and said, "Commander Shan, what brings you here? We're just here to discuss the pill order with Comrade Lin Ying. We have no other intentions."
Shan Yubang snorted coldly, his face full of disdain, and said, "Discuss? I think you're just trying to morally blackmail people because you donated some grain before! The grain your farm donated back then was because of Comrade Lin Ying's previous help to the countryside, not for free. The wooden oxen and waterwheels you use in the countryside now were all made by Comrade Lin Ying. If it weren't for Comrade Lin Ying, you'd still be toiling away in the fields."
What? As later educated youth, you didn't witness the scene of others giving gifts, so you're just ignoring their contributions? You're asking Comrade Lin Ying to help you get ahead, do you really think you're playing cards?
You're all just upset because you think Comrade Lin Ying's family is well-off and she's living a better life than you, right? Let me tell you, the stones Comrade Lin Ying used were carried there piece by piece by our troops. The bricks and tiles she used were donated by the local people. The timber she used was also provided free of charge by the forestry station.
Don't apply your usual tactics to Comrade Lin Ying. She's living in an honor she deserves; it's her right. If you really don't know, go back and ask around, instead of just spouting this nonsense.
The man's face turned red and white as Shan Yubang spoke, but he still tried to argue, "Commander Shan Yu, you've gone too far. Our farm isn't having an easy time either. Everyone is hoping to use these good pills, but the price is just too high. We just wanted Comrade Lin Ying to understand our difficulties."
