22. You are the village director
The old branch secretary listened to Mingquan's words, and his face turned even darker, "Gangzi, you take Xiao Ming to the mountains these days, and I will deal with the rest!" The old branch secretary said that the cigarette stick slammed the table leg a few times.
"Old branch secretary, brother Gang......" Mingquan looked at the two, "This is my own business, or is it up to me to deal ......with it"
"Gangzi, is Xiao Ming's business his own?" The old branch secretary interrupted Mingquan's words and looked at Zhao Gang with a dark face.
Zhao Gang was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what the old branch secretary meant, and turned his head to look at Mingquan, "Brother, although we farmers are uneducated, we can still distinguish between good and bad, and know who is really good to us......" Zhao Gang looked at Mingquan, "Since you came to our village and did those things for our village, we really saw hope......
"Xiao Ming......" The old branch secretary interrupted Zhao Gang's words, threw the cigarette stick on the table, got up and looked at Mingquan, "The first time you came to our village was to give birth to a baby, I was a hundred displeased with you at that time, and then you learned about the situation in our village, you didn't stare at Huai'er's belly like those people, but helped us find a way to get rich, I'm old, but I'm not confused......" The old branch secretary said with his hands behind his back, "This matter is decided, Gangzi!" The old branch secretary turned his head and glared at Zhao Gang.
"Brother, now this matter is no longer your personal matter, but the entire Fuyu Village's business, listen to the old branch secretary, let's go!" Zhao Gang said and grabbed Mingquan's arm.
The words of the old branch secretary and Zhao Gang made Mingquan slightly moved, the people in the mountains are sincere and simple, as long as you are sincerely good for them, they will repay you in every possible way. Just like during the war years, in the face of enemy intimidation and even butcher knives, they would not tell the secrets of the people's army, or even hand over the wounded soldiers who were recuperating in the village!
"Old branch secretary, I'll take the Mingquan brothers in the village......" Zhao Gang turned his head to look at the old branch secretary.
"There are a lot of people!" The old branch secretary said lightly.
"Hmm." Zhao Gang nodded, turned around and walked out of the village committee office with Mingquan.
Buyeo Village is located on a mountain col, along the thorny mountain road on both sides, and the two talked as they walked.
"Brother......" Zhao Gang said, "It's so unfair to you in the township, or you come to us, you are the village director, and I will assist you!" ”
"Brother Gang, this can't be helped!" Mingquan shook his head, then turned to look down the mountain.
At this time, it is already the spring of March, the spring breeze is warm, the birdsong is leisurely, look around, there are some unknown wild flowers blooming all over the mountains, there are some red leaves on the trees, the mountain springs that fly straight down in the distance, the mountains are dotted with extraordinarily enchanting, the buds that emerge from the trees are full of vitality, in the face of this situation, Mingquan's mood can't help but be very good.
"Brother Gang, the future construction of Fuyu Village must not destroy the scenery here?" Mingquan crossed his waist and said in high spirits, "I believe that as long as we work together, in the future, our Fuyu Village will be a rich and picturesque ...... the people" Mingquan said with emotion, pointing to the bottom of the mountain.
"Not only are the mountains and rivers beautiful here, but also the summer is very cool, brother, and when it develops here according to your idea in the future, how about a summer resort?" Zhao Gang turned his head to look at Ming Quan.
"Brother Gang, you have to eat one bite at a time, you can't rely on leapfrogging." Mingquan said with a smile.
Further on, you will see a primeval jungle.
"Brother, you can't go forward any longer, not only is there no road inside, but it's damp and dark." Zhao Gang stopped and said.
Mingquan nodded and looked up. I saw that in the primeval forest in front of me, there were few bushes in the forest, and all of them were towering thousand-year-old trees. The branches of the trees are intertwined, and the flourishing branches and leaves that stretch out like green clouds cover the blue sky. A huge camphor tree protrusion came into view, its bark dark green, and its thick, strangely shaped branches coiled around the tree like a dragon. The breeze passed, and the branches and leaves rattled, like the sigh of a dragon......
"Brother, follow me." Zhao Gang bypassed a hill and walked towards the back of the mountain.
After walking for a while, Zhao Gang pointed to a cluster of plants that looked like bamboo leaves not far away, "Brother, this is Huang Jing." ”
Mingquan approached and took a closer look for a while, and the plant did look a bit like a bamboo leaf, except that there were some small fruits hanging under the leaves.
"What about this yellow essence, it has many varieties, some are long-leaved yellow essence, some are multi-flowered yellow essence, etc., they basically grow in the understory at an altitude of 800 ~ 2800 meters, shrubs or mountain slope shade, the most like loose, fertile, breathable sandy soil, we here grow in the altitude of about 2000 meters, it is cold-resistant, like cool, humid growth environment." Zhao Gang introduced, "The ancients said that a yellow essence has three supplements, which nourish the lungs and nourish the spleen and the kidneys, making people younger and younger the more they eat."
"The yellow essence we produce here is called turmeric yellow essence. My grandfather's grandfather's grandfather made a living by digging and picking yellow essence, and later when it came to my father, for some reason, it could only be passed on secretly, I was the second in the family, and my father passed on the nine steaming and nine drying techniques of yellow essence to my eldest brother, I just knew a little. Zhao Gang said and walked a few steps, then leaned down, pointed to a yellow-brown stem, a bit like ginger, and said, "This is the turmeric yellow essence." Zhao Gang said as he dug up the soil, dug out a rhizome, and cleared the soil on it, and Mingquan found that this one did look like ginger.
"This is a yellow essence that is about 8 years old, which is very rare. It is generally dug in spring and autumn and then made using ancient methods. Zhao Gang took the rhizome of Huangjing and said, "Don't look at this thing that doesn't look good-looking, but it can enhance human immune function, delay aging, assist in lowering blood sugar and blood lipids, protect the cardiovascular system and many other pharmacological effects." Speaking of this, Zhao Gang smiled, "Brother, I still have some prepared yellow essence at home, after I go back today, I will give it to you, and you will go back to your old man next time." ”
Mingquan hurriedly waved his hand and refused, "Brother Gang, I have received my mind, the output of yellow essence should not be high, if it is as good as you said, I am worried that it will not be able to meet the needs of the market." Mingquan got up and looked at Zhao Gang, "Can this thing be artificially cultivated?" ”
"I don't know much about this, so ......" Zhao Gang thought for a while, "I'll go back and ask my old man in the evening." ”
The two wandered around the mountains until late in the evening before returning to the village.
"Brother Gang, you clean up the yellow essence you collected, how much is there?" At the gate of the village committee, Mingquan looked at Zhao Gang and said, "I plan to take these yellow essences to the city early tomorrow morning to see if I can sell them at a good price." Of course, since the effect of yellow essence is so good, it would be best for those bosses to pay us some money in advance, hehe. ”
Zhao Gang nodded, turned around and went back to prepare.
Nothing was said all night.
