Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 186 Planting Medicinal Herbs
Has Mr. Xu lived in the village for a long time?
It depends on whether he has an irreplaceable position in Yanjing.

If it is insignificant, then it doesn't matter how long he stays.

Xu Yue could guess that Xu Chengyang probably supported him staying in the village.

I think we have benefited a lot from the discussions during this period.

"Oh right!" Xu Jiangming said, "A college student has come to the village to serve as the village chief."

"Village chief?" Xu Yue said calmly, "I'm afraid it's just a transition."

Taoyuan Village had a college student village official, but he didn't stick with it, and in the end Xu Chengmin still served as the village chief and party secretary concurrently.

No one came later.

Now that Taoyuan Village is developing so well, how could there be no one from above coming to brush up their resume?

He is currently ranked below Xu Chengmin, but it is estimated that he will be in town soon.

There is no need to guess who is behind the new village chief.

"Transition?" Xu Jiangming seemed to understand, and said, "The crew finished the recording and left. They came to see you before they left."

"I received a call." Xu Yue said.

He didn't react much to it.

Mainly because I didn’t interact with those people much.

Xu Yue is not responsible for the dishes.

The recording took two or three months, so the timing is about the same.

Although the show hasn't finished yet.

Lunch for six people.

Xu Jianghe went to practice driving and probably won't be back until evening.

In addition to Xu Yue's family, there is naturally Old Xu.

"Xiao Xu, have you ever thought about planting more medicinal herbs?" Old Xu suddenly asked Xu Yue, "Are most of the herbs you planted for your own use?"

"Grandpa is in charge of most of those medicinal herbs." Xu Yue said, "I don't really know much about growing medicinal herbs."

"The slow effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine is largely related to the fact that the medicinal materials are no longer as effective as before." Old Xu said, "This is also one of the reasons for the decline of traditional Chinese medicine. The medicinal materials you grow are far more effective than those on the market. For traditional Chinese medicine, they are hard to find. If they are grown in large quantities."

Xu Yue hasn't changed much.

Is the decline of Traditional Chinese Medicine really just because the medicinal ingredients are not as effective as before, resulting in slower results?

I'm afraid not.

Or rather, it's more than that.

Xu Yue didn't know much about it, but in his opinion, the biggest reason for the decline of traditional Chinese medicine was that it was being suppressed.

why?
If you have a cold, the hospital will give you a full body check-up.

If it is a child, the direct hospitalization cost alone will be several thousand yuan for testing.

If it is a Chinese medicine doctor, a doctor will examine the patient and a prescription of Chinese medicine will cost dozens of yuan.
That affects the entire interest chain. If they don’t blame you, who else will they blame?

If I don’t kill you, who should I kill?
"Of course!" Old Xu continued, "I know that the vegetables you grow are almost always sold at ten or twenty times the market price. If the medicinal herbs you grow are the same as those in your fields, I'm willing to buy them at ten times the market price. Xiao Xu, medicinal herbs are more valuable than vegetables."

As he grew older, he became more shrewd and it was clear what Xu Yue was thinking.

Xu Yue is obviously more inclined to be a businessman.

Merchants pursue profit, so lure them with profit.

"How many medicinal herbs does Mr. Xu want?" Xu Yue asked, "If it's for large-scale cultivation, I don't have the channels for that."

"I have!" Old Xu said with a smile, "How about I ask someone from the medicinal materials company to connect with your farm?"

"it is good!"

Xu Yue nodded.

Growing vegetables and medicinal herbs are both planting, why refuse?
The price of medicinal herbs should be higher than that of vegetables, right?

Xu Yue didn't understand, but he didn't care.

He agreed, more because he understood what his grandfather meant.

Make some contribution to the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

He is also a beneficiary of traditional Chinese medicine.

I took a lot of medicinal baths when I was a child.

I have hardly ever been sick since I was a child.

After dinner, Zhang Ruoxi returned to the bamboo house, while Xu Yue walked around.

I met Tian Yizi at the construction site.

"Where is the supervisor?" Xu Yue asked with a smile.

"The boss is back!" Tian Yizi said, "I came by to see you."

"Old Tian, ​​do you know anything about growing medicinal herbs?" Xu Yue asked.

If he doesn't understand, then find someone who does.

If Tian Yizi doesn't understand either, then it will be a bit troublesome.

I don’t understand. How do I talk to the people from the medicinal materials company?

Then you lose some initiative.

"I've come across medicinal herb cultivation before." Tian Yizi frowned and said, "Boss, are you planning to grow medicinal herbs?"

"Someone asked me to grow medicinal herbs." Xu Yue said, "I contacted the medicinal herb company directly. They said that if the medicinal effects are sufficient, they will buy it at least ten times the market price."

"Growing medicinal herbs can cause significant damage to farmland and requires very high technical skills," Tian Yizhi said. "However, the economic value of medicinal herbs is indeed higher."

There are pros and cons.

Planting medicinal herbs damages the tillage layer, soil structure and tillage layer, and even causes potential toxicity, boron damage and salt damage to the soil.

Therefore, the cultivation of Chinese medicinal materials requires very high planting methods and techniques.

In some places, people rent paddy fields to grow medicinal herbs, but after planting them once, it becomes difficult to grow rice in the paddy fields.

Finally the fields had to be turned into soil.

"Of course, you don't have to worry about the technical aspects." Xu Yue said, "My family grows some medicinal herbs, as you know."

If you plant it using the farming method, you really don't have to worry about these things.

"Is it reliable?" Tian Yizi asked, "I mean, is that medicinal materials company reliable?"

"It should be reliable!" Xu Yue said, "The person who spoke was Elder Xu Zixu, and he is currently visiting my home. I don't know his specific identity, but his disciple is the director of Yanjing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. I think he is a very important figure in the medical circle."

"That should be no problem." Tian Yizi said, "How much do you plan to plant?"

"Let's talk about it after you connect with the people from the medicinal materials company." Xu Yue said, "But, at most 500 acres."

Tian Yizi nodded.

After the two talked about some agricultural products, Xu Yue went to wander around other places.

The main reason is that I haven’t been back for a long time, so I went to take a look and have a better idea of ​​the situation.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

When she returned to the bamboo house, Zhang Ruoxi had almost finished packing.

"What's so hard about this?" Zhang Ruoxi said with a smile, "Are you really planning to grow medicinal herbs?"

"Grow it!" Xu Yue said, "Isn't ginseng also a kind of medicinal herb?"

"You don't choose to grow rare medicinal herbs, do you?" Zhang Ruoxi said, "Cordyceps sinensis, saffron..."

"Can Cordyceps sinensis be grown?" Xu Yue shook his head and said, "What to grow will depend on the coordination with the medicinal materials company before we can decide."

Zhang Ruoxi nodded and didn't continue the topic.

Compared to growing medicinal herbs, Zhang Ruoxi is more interested in growing vegetables and flowers.

In the evening, Xu Jianghe came back.

"I'm back!" Xu Jianghe said with a smile, "How was your fun?"

"Very good!" Xu Yue said, "How are you doing? When can you get your driver's license?"

"The road test is tomorrow!" Xu Jianghe said, "It should be fine. The instructor said the road test is the easiest, and I think so too."

"Then which subject do you think is the most difficult?" Xu Yue asked casually.

"The written test!" Xu Jianghe said, "You have no idea how much effort I put in. I don't know how much hair I pulled out just for that written test."

Xu Yue smiled.

In his opinion, the written test is the easiest and the on-site test is the most difficult.

Of course, each is different.

There are many experienced drivers who fail the written test.

There are also some talented people who can drift around corners with a van, but they fail the on-site test.

There are all kinds of people taking the driving test.

Talented.

After dinner, Xu Yue drank some wine and returned to the bamboo house to start carving the jade plaque.

"Are you really going to move to a villa?"

When Zhang Ruoxi saw Xu Yue carving the jade talisman, she knew what he was going to do.

This is the preparation for setting up the villa.

Xu Yue mentioned it when we were traveling before.

"Don't you want to, or are you embarrassed?" Xu Yue said, "We've been living together for half a year, everyone in the village knows it! What's the matter? Do you still want to use that room as your bridal chamber and move in after you get married?"

Zhang Ruoxi opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

"Are you not used to living with my parents?" Xu Yue said, "Why don't we just live here?"

Zhang Ruoxi was a little confused.

She wanted to spend some time alone with Xu Yue, but she also felt that this was not a good idea.

In addition, she gets along really well with Xu Yue's parents-in-law.

"We live on the third floor, and my parents live on the second and first floors." Xu Yue said, "It's not much different from where we are now. The conditions there are better after all. If you want us to live alone, how about we build a villa later? This bamboo house is really not very good. If your parents come and see it one day, they will have a bad impression of me."

"Build another villa? No need!" Zhang Ruoxi said, "We can just move there."

The bamboo house does seem a bit narrow.

The key is that her parents might come at any time.

After all, she and Xu Yue are not young anymore and are at the age to get married.

"What kind of formation are you planning to set up over there?" Zhang Ruoxi continued to ask, "Isn't there an air conditioner installed over there?"

"You don't have to use it after installing it! It can be used as a cover-up." Xu Yue said, "A spirit gathering array can make the air better. Also, make a formation that keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer. As for the rest, we can think of it later!"

"Would you like to have a mosquito repellent array or something?"

Zhang Ruoxi glanced at the "mosquito repellent array" on the table and said with a smile.

"It would be nice to have an insect repellent array," Xu Yue said, "to keep mosquitoes, rats, cockroaches, flies, and the like out of the villa."

"Is it still possible?" Zhang Ruoxi asked in surprise, "Then why..."

Zhang Ruoxi didn't say why, but pointed to the "mosquito repellent array" on the table.

"Didn't you think of it then?" Xu Yue said with a smile, "Who would have thought that the Farmers' Formation could be used in this way!"

Zhang Ruoxi also smiled.

The mosquito repellent array was her idea.

"Then you should study it more." Zhang Ruoxi said, "Among the inherited formations, which ones can be used not only in the fields, but also at home!"

"Gathering spirits, clearing turbidity, moistening, growth, soil consolidation, fertile land, eliminating pests, concentrating the mind, calming the spirit, inducing change, and promoting growth." Xu Yue said, "Arrays such as repelling insects and attracting insects belong to the category of arrays for eliminating pests."

"Gathering spirits, moistening, consolidating the soil, growth, fertile land." Xu Yue continued, "These are undoubtedly used more frequently."

"effort!"

Zhang Ruoxi listened to Xu Yue's words and suddenly said two words.

Xu Yue was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

Practice hard, open up the Dantian Qi Sea as soon as possible, and then learn the magical formations.

Xu Yue smiled at this, not knowing what to say.

He really has no experience to impart.

Because he opened up his Dantian Qi Sea thanks to the bronze token, it was pure cheating.

How to share this experience!
Silent all night.

The next day, even though I had been traveling for a long time, my daily routine had changed.

However, the two still did not sleep in, but got up early to pick vegetables.

Especially Zhang Ruoxi is much more active than before.

After breakfast, I went to work in the fields.

Xu Yue knew that she was busy practicing.

Got stimulated last night.

It was almost noon when she came back with Li Xiurong.

Then he went into the kitchen.

Xu Jiangming's position as kitchen assistant was snatched away by Zhang Ruoxi.

Neither the father nor the son could do anything about it.

"what?"

Xu Yue suddenly saw a car from Jincheng driving towards his house.

He was sure that it was definitely not Hu Hai's car.

He only knows such a person in Jincheng.

Soon the car arrived and a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties got out of the car, accompanied by two young men.

One male and one female.

The man looks like a bodyguard and the woman looks like a secretary.

Xu Yue was about to go forward to ask, but he didn't expect Old Xu to come out of the house.

Xu Chengyang followed.

"dad!"

The middle-aged man, Mr. Xu, then shouted.

However, this sound seemed to contain resentment!
Mr. Xu just nodded.

"What's the matter? Why can't you just call me? Why did you have to call me here?" the man said. "I'm very busy."

Although he was very busy, he still came.

"What are you busy with?" Old Xu said coldly, "Busy making money? What do you earn so much money for?"

The man stopped talking.

He knew that his grandfather was angry.

Putting aside filial piety or anything like that, his voice was also due to the old man's reputation.

"My son Xu Miao opened a fairly large medicinal materials company."

Mr. Xu introduced the person in front of him.

"Come with me!"

"Xiao Yue!"

Old Xu then looked at Xu Miao and said, then walked out, calling out Xu Yue.

Xu Yue naturally guessed where he was going.

Sure enough, the group arrived at the place where medicinal herbs were grown.

"have a look!"

Old Xu pointed at the medicinal herbs in the field and spoke.

"what?"

Xu Miao looked at the herbs with a look of surprise, then walked down to take a closer look, and even pinched some to taste.

"The medicine is quite potent!"

Xu Miao showed a look of surprise. He finally understood why his father called him here.

If you told me over the phone how effective this medicine is, I’m afraid I wouldn’t believe it!
This is actually artificially grown.

I’m afraid the medicinal properties of wild medicinal herbs cannot compare to this.

"Is that all?" Xu Miao couldn't help but ask.

The quantity is too small.

Even if you go for the boutique route, this is too little.

Why not plant more?
"It can be grown on a large scale," said Old Xu. "You can talk to Xiao Xu about this. The vegetables he grows are sold at ten to twenty times the market price. If you grow medicinal herbs, the price naturally can't be lower than this."

This sets the tone.

Xu Miao looked at the medicinal herbs in the field and nodded.

If the medicine is this effective, ten or twenty times the dosage would be no problem.

Good medicinal materials can be sold at a high price.

However, Xu Miao still looked at Xu Yue in surprise.

This guy doesn't look like a farmer.

"Let's go back first!" Xu Yue said with a smile, "How about we talk after dinner?"
