Chapter 514: Clan Unity
Huan Huan took the train directly to Greentown, the capital of Gui Province, and Grandpa Xu's friend Tao Zhuxian was sent to the production team of Lianshan Village near the Dawangtan Reservoir.
Lianshan Village is also Tao Zhuxian's hometown, and he not only did not suffer from the crime when he was sent to his hometown, but lived a good life.
This is due to the deep-rooted clan consciousness in the Lingnan area, although the four old ancestral halls and temples have been demolished to tatters, but they still continue the traditional habits of the clan for thousands of years.
Tao Zhuxian has a very high rank in the local Tao family, and when he reigned before, he also had a lot of people, so the juniors of the Tao family respected him very much.
The village cadre, from the branch secretary to the accountant to the scorekeeper, is either his nephew or nephew, and no one will embarrass him at all.
The work in the field is also an easy job, and even a little easy work, there are still people rushing to help him.
Huan didn't expect Tao Zhuxian to live so well, and brought him dozens of catties of rice and a few air-dried game.
As a result, the family used the pomp and circumstance of receiving distinguished guests, and enthusiastically arranged a banquet with good wine and food, and they had to let everyone sit on the honored seat of the distinguished guests.
Rao is warm and difficult, and Huan feels a little embarrassed.
After resting in Lianshan Village for a night, I was about to say goodbye in the morning, and before leaving, I also ate the old friend noodles made by Tao Zhuxian's nephew and daughter-in-law, which was very delicious.
When he went, he brought a sack full of things, and when he left, he brought an extra bag.
They are all gifts prepared by Tao Zhuxian for the first time, including fresh mangoes, longans and almonds, and dried goods such as dried whitebait, rice noodles, dried longan, and tea......
Of course, these return gifts were not taken out by Tao Zhu first, he is now a decentralized person with no salary, and they are all made up by the clan.
After all, the living standard of Lianshan Village is not high, and it is really regarded as a distinguished guest that will give her so many gifts.
Later, when he arrived in Anzhou City, he sent hundreds of catties of rice and air-dried game bacon to Tao Zhuxian one after another.
Tao Zhuxian must not be able to eat so many things, but he can only give each family a few catties of rice and a piece of meat, which is inconspicuous.
I took the train south from Anzhou and went straight to Hepu, the representative production area of Nanzhu.
She didn't come to Hepu to buy pearls to treasure or make jewelry, she came to exchange pearls for medicine.
In fact, there are not a lot of pearls in the carp bead space, not to mention the pearl jewelry that the ancestors of the Xu family have accumulated for hundreds of years, and the large wealth left by Grandpa Yu, that is, the mussels in the lake and river of the space, will also produce pearls.
However, the quality of those pearls is really good, each of them is huge and round, and it has been grinding more than ten pieces into medicine before, and it hurts the joy.
And when it comes to medicinal value, those pearls may not be as good as the pearls produced in Hepu, and traditional Chinese medicine has always called the southern pearls produced in Hepu as medicinal pearls.
As early as the Qin and Han dynasties, the pearl people of Hepu commonly used pearl powder, which they could not only use to treat external injuries, such as bleeding from knife wounds, boils and ulcers, burns, scalds, but also use pearl powder to clear heat and detoxify.
In ancient times, the coastal fishermen and pearl people of Hepu went to sea to work, and they all had pearl powder and other herbs for backup. In particular, Hepu's ocean-going fleet also has pearl powder on board when it sails to Southeast Asia and other countries.
During the voyage, if the crew encounters knife wounds, fire burns, water soup wounds, sores and pus, they can be treated with pearl powder, because pearl powder stops bleeding and builds muscle and pulls out poison, and the effect of clearing heat is very significant.
Later, the method of curing diseases and injuries of pearl powder spread, and the curative effect of pearl powder was slowly verified by doctors and patients.
The powder made by grinding Hepu Nanzhu has a cold and sweet taste, and has obvious curative effects on mild hyperthyroidism, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and gynecological inflammation, and has the effects of calming the heart and calming the nerves, clearing away heat and benefiting yin, and dissolving phlegm.
Pearl powder therapy is not limited to medicinal use, from the history of beauty development in China, it is not difficult to see the status of pearls.
According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", pearls have the effect of detoxifying acne and curing toxins, the so-called anti-acne treatment is to treat all kinds of skin injuries and wounds, such as carbuncles, poisonous sores, water and fire burns, knife wounds and shingles.
The "Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine" once pointed out that pearls have the effects of calming the nerves, brightening the eyes, detoxifying and building muscles.
Legend has it that the Empress Dowager Cixi not only used pearl powder to apply to her face, but also took a spoonful of Hepu pearl powder every night before going to bed to protect her complexion from being fair and delicate and energetic.
Modern pharmacologists have demonstrated that the composition of pearls contains calcium carbonate, calcium oxide, calcium phosphate, and more than a dozen amino acids, which have significant effects on improving human immunity, delaying aging, freckle removal and whitening, and calcium supplementation.
The freckle removal beauty prescription for pearl jade shavings that Huanhuan is preparing recently, and the 25-flavor pearl pill prescription for cerebral stroke, all use a lot of pearl powder.
The pearl diving industry in Hepu has been restored after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the state has also established a research institute and artificial breeding base in Hepu, and Hepu has successfully cultivated pearls in the sixties.
I think she will buy good quality pearls this time, it doesn't matter if the quality is poor, anyway, they have to be ground into powder.
The imagination is very plump, and the reality is often very skinny.
I went to the artificial cultivation base of Hepu pearls, and I didn't even enter the gate of the base.
The gatekeeper said meticulously with a straight face: "Comrade! The amount of pearls raised in our factory is very small, and they are not sold to the public! ”
"Uncle, I am a purchaser in a pharmaceutical factory, the new drugs developed by our factory need to add pearl powder, you are accommodating and let go, I will go to the leader to intercede, okay?" Pray with all your heart.
The uncle saw that Duan Huan was respectful, so he told Duan Huan the truth.
"Little comrade, even if you go in and find the leader, it will be in vain, the leader will not sell you the pearls, all the pearls in the factory are purchased by the state!
The state has set a task target for the factory, and it is very difficult to complete the task every year, where dare to sell you pearls? ”
Huanhuan thought about it carefully and felt that what the uncle said was the truth.
At present, the state advocates the spirit of hard work and simplicity, and excessive dressing is a decadent way of life of the bourgeoisie.
Who dares to commit crimes against the wind and wear jewelry?
The whereabouts of the pearls purchased by the state in a unified manner from the artificial breeding base can be guessed by Huanhuan, and most of them are exported to earn foreign exchange.
When I was in Hujiang before, I saw pearl jewelry in the counters of the Overseas Chinese Exchange Store and the First Department Store.
"Hey! It's nothing for me to run for nothing, but what to do with the new drugs in the factory? Duan Huan sighed.
"If you only buy a few taels and a half pounds, comrade, I can help you think of a way," the uncle said regretfully: "But you are a unit procurement, and the demand is so large, I am also powerless!" ”
