What she thought was that this medicinal herb dealer could go to a small place like Shinan Town from other places to collect medicinal materials, and he was willing to give her and Liu Cheng the travel expenses, which showed that the profit from reselling medicinal materials must be very large.

In this era, many remote mountain villages have no access to water, electricity or traffic, and the medicinal herbs collected by the villagers cannot be sold at all.

Liu Yan felt that she could give it a try and help the villagers sell the medicinal materials without making a difference in the price of the medicinal herb dealers.

And the point is, in the hills of her hometown, there are people who specialize in cultivating medicinal herbs, isn't this a ready-made resource?

The villagers were conservative and would have been more willing to do business with her, a local.

Liu Yan finished her thoughts in one breath, and asked Li Manjun worriedly: "Manjun, do you think this thing can make money?" ”

Li Manjun made a rough calculation in his heart and nodded, "You can definitely make money, but if you want to make more, you must first ensure that the amount of medicinal materials in the hands of the villagers is large enough." ”

"The most difficult thing is not this, it's that the road is difficult to walk, and you have to spend a lot of time on the road."

Liu Yan's expectant face fell, "It's just that it can't be done." ”

"That's not it, after all, you are familiar with this mountain village, and it is easy to have multiple extra money channels." Li Manjun said very slowly, and his brain was also thinking about the next sentence quickly, "You can refine and only make a classification, subdivision." ”

"Breakdown?" Liu Yan blinked her eyes, this was the first time she had heard this word.

Li Manjun said: "It's like Northeast ginseng, just that, it has become the signboard of the entire Northeast, I don't understand the medicinal materials, but if you really want to do it, just ask our local local Chinese medicine doctor, dig out our local specialties, make a single classification bigger and stronger, and the cost will be relatively saved a lot, and it can also promote local characteristics and help farmers get rid of poverty and become rich." ”

Liu Cheng's driving speed slowed down unconsciously, and he felt that what Sister Manjun said could be copied into a notebook as the next course of action.

Liu Yan repeated Li Manjun's words repeatedly in her heart, and the six words "helping farmers get rid of poverty and become rich" seemed to hit the blood in her heart.

Her hometown is different from Hongxing Village, Hongxing Village is flat and fertile, close to the town, she was a representative of the advanced brigade back then, the rice produced is particularly fragrant, and the people in the village rely on the fertile land, and their lives are getting better and better.

In her hometown, there are mountains on all sides, and there are few fields, most of which are mountains, and the people in the village mix in the mountains all year round, digging herbs and picking mountain fruits, so that they can barely go hungry.

In her hometown, everything that could get out was gone, leaving only the old people who were reluctant to guard the dilapidated old house.

Her family is better, her grandparents planted peanuts for the children to study, and when they entered the unit, they barely got out of the valleys.

But there are only a handful of people like them, and there are still many people in the village who are poor, and their brothers and sisters can only wear one set of clothes.

"When we arrived, there was no road ahead, we had to go up, and the Zhou family's house was halfway up the mountain."

Liu Cheng parked his motorcycle in front of a mud flat, and there was no road ahead, and the cart couldn't get in.

When the tractor came to this mud flat, it could only turn around.

Li Manjun got off the motorcycle, holding cigarettes and alcohol in his hand, looking at the muddy mountain path in front of him, and couldn't help but cast an admiring look at Liu Cheng.

"You went to the countryside to collect the waste, and you came so far away, can you receive something?" Li Manjun asked curiously.

Previously, they had been to the big villages around the town, and they had never been to such a remote village at all.

Of course, it is also because the means of transportation limit the scope of movement, and now Liu Cheng has his own motorcycle, and he has walked all the surrounding remote villages.

"Of course you can receive things, because the place is remote, and there are windfalls from time to time." Liu Cheng was referring to the wild game in the mountains.

Liu Yan said with a smile: "Some villagers will go into the mountains to hunt, those pheasants and wild boars, some people will come to the town to ask, as soon as they lose their hands on the fuel and money, they will earn it back, and there will be some surplus." ”

Liu Cheng likes this kind of work very much, no one cares about freedom, he runs around and sees everywhere, and he can make money, which is much more interesting than learning what auto repair.

Li Manjun stepped on the mud up the mountain, while listening to the sister and brother happily sharing their work, looking back, the mountains in the distance were undulating, the dead leaves were gray and yellow and lonely, there were a few houses nearby, the chickens and ducks were quacking in front of the door, a small dog was flicking its tail around him, and the sun shone down from the clouds, giving this remote mountain village a layer of mysterious light.

"It's beautiful!" Li Manjun stopped in place and exclaimed.

Liu Yan's admiring eyes were a little bitter, "But I'm poor, so poor that I can't afford to eat." ”

The three of them had a thick layer of mud on their rubber bucket shoes, and there was a dog barking halfway up the mountainside, and there was a faint sound of footsteps.

Liu Cheng raised his head and shouted to the top: "Grandpa Zhou, I'm Ah Cheng, I'm coming to see you again!" ”

The old man scolded the family dog: "Little Black, don't bark!" ”

After a while, an old man with gray hair and more than sixty years poked his head out from above and greeted Liu Cheng warmly, "Xiaowa, are you here again?" ”

"Which of these two girls are they?" He asked, confused.

There is also a stone step in front of the Zhou family's house, because the roadbed collapsed, forming a crooked high step, Liu Cheng stepped up first, turned around and pulled the two sisters up.

He introduced: "These two are my sisters, I heard me say that you have a set of treasures at home, and I want to come to see them." ”

said, pointed to Li Manjun and said, "This is my eldest sister, Li Manjun, who came from Rongcheng specially." ”

"Hello, old man." Li Manjun handed over the cigarettes and alcohol he was carrying.

Grandpa Zhou was wearing a black cotton suit, which was full of patches, and the cotton wool was exposed, on such a cold day, he was wearing a pair of straw sandals on his feet, and his exposed ankles were thin and straight, and on his face full of ravines, a pair of cloudy eyes lit up slightly, nodded at Li Manjun and Liu Yan, and smiled.

Grandpa Zhou's daughter-in-law and grandson looked curiously at the three of them in front of the low wooden house, the two children were thinly dressed, wearing tattered and ill-fitting thermal shoes on their feet, their faces were black as flower cats, and their little hands were black and purple, and they were full of chilblains.

Seeing the two boxes of eight-treasure porridge in Liu Cheng's hand, his big eyes were shining, and a few people came to the house, and the two children smiled shyly and walked around to Liu Cheng's side.

I've seen it a few times before, I don't recognize it, and I know that every time Liu Cheng comes, he can eat a full meal, looking at him and smiling, he pointed to the eight-treasure porridge with his little finger, and he wanted to eat.

In the dimly lit and low hall, all kinds of miscellaneous items were piled up in the corner, and a kang was barely packed, and a pot was placed on the tripod, and a pot of food like vegetable porridge was heated inside.

There are only three stools sitting at home, one for Grandpa Zhou, one for Li Manjun, one for Liu Yan, and Liu Chengcheng squatting on the side of the kang.

The two children had already brought the eight-treasure porridge into the back room, and the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family took out three bottles after a while and gave them to the guests.

Li Manjun followed the example of Liu Cheng and Liu Yan, and put the eight-treasure porridge by the fire.
