His predecessor failed

The medicinal materials processing factory of the Red Star Brigade was set up in full swing. The team leader was in high spirits and supervised the work everywhere every day. It was Su Zhuzhu who reminded him to take Dr. Peng to the health center to discuss selling medicinal materials. Su Zhuzhu also went with them, but she did not go with the team leader Master He. She went to the post office to make a phone call to Director Qiao of the county hospital.

There is no doubt that Su Zhuzhu successfully negotiated the deal. After all, the county hospital was also short of medicinal materials, and it was Su Zhuzhu who asked for it, so Dean Qiao had to give her face. Even if he couldn't give a clear answer now, the county hospital would still give strong support after the county leaders promoted the matter. As long as the quality of the medicinal materials was guaranteed, it would be a win-win situation.

Su Zhuzhu not only has to work in the health center, but also is busy learning Chinese medicine from her master, reviewing high school knowledge, and now she has to take care of the affairs of the medicinal materials processing factory. Basically, she is like a spinning top and never has a spare moment. Fortunately, Liu Yuanyuan understands her and takes care of the housework so that she can concentrate on her own affairs.

Su Zhuzhu sighed more than once how correct it was to decide to form this small team, as now everyone is capable of doing their job.

Even after Wang Xiaojun recovered from his cold, he took the initiative to find Su Zhuzhu and others, offering to help draw all the common herbs, and then compile them into a booklet, noting their names and efficacy, as reference material for the medicinal materials processing factory. He could also be given some writing work.

Su Zhuzhu felt that it would be unreasonable for the medicinal materials processing factory not to reserve a job for Wang Xiaojun. Although he looked weak, Wang Xiaojun had a very good foundation in painting and writing, and he had also studied law. Later, when it came to paperwork, contracts, and promotional reports, there was someone to take over, which greatly reduced Su Zhuzhu's burden.

Within a few days, villagers began to hand in their herbs. Although the quantity was not large, Liu Yuanyuan and Duan Xiaoling checked, weighed and registered them very carefully. The team leader had said at the time that everyone would be settled at the end of each quarter, and all the herbs handed in would be registered first. So the villagers were relieved and very enthusiastic about collecting herbs, especially Ping'an and his group of half-grown children. Some parents promised to give some of the money from selling the herbs to their children, so whenever they had time, they would go into the mountains in groups carrying baskets on their backs.

Su Zhuzhu told the group of children that they could only collect herbs outside the mountain and were not allowed to go deep into the mountains, otherwise the herbal processing factory would have to consider whether to accept the herbs they collected. She also specifically asked Ping An to pay attention to everyone's safety.

Ping'an is a very steady boy. Now he has an extra source of income. When he is not collecting herbs, he still goes fishing, eels and loaches to send to Su Zhuzhu. The vegetables that Su Zhuzhu and her friends eat are also grown by Grandma Ping'an. The two of them are now living a much better life.

Moreover, Su Zhuzhu also found a few very low-key thick coats, cotton pants and cotton shoes in the space and gave them to Ping'an to take back for the two of them to wear during the winter, so he did whatever Su Zhuzhu said without saying a word.

The most important task now is to build the power plant and factory building, and then research the dryer, which can greatly increase production.

The team leader and Zheng Qiwen have already planned the location for building the power house. Due to the poor construction environment near the waterfall, the project progress is relatively slow. The roof of the factory building has not been completed yet, so construction of the power house has just begun.

After quite a while, good news came from the power room, saying that it was about to be completed and the wires had been pulled to the brigade headquarters and the medicinal materials processing factory. The brigade leader organized several key persons in charge to go and check to see if there was anything that needed repairs.

Su Zhuzhu specially carried a shoulder bag and brought a notebook, preparing to make a detailed record, which might come in handy in the future. By the way, she took out some paint from the space, put it in a small glass bottle, and stuffed it into the bag, to use for Wang Xiaojun to draw herbs later.

First, give the paint to Wang Xiaojun, and then we all go to the factory together.

The rural area is large, and there is a piece of wasteland next to the brigade headquarters. The brigade leader designated a large area, but only built five factory buildings. Except for the smallest one that was used as an office, the others were processing workshops. Su Zhuzhu looked at it and found it very good. The most important thing was that the yard outside was big enough and there was a wall built.

The courtyard wall is made of earthen bricks, which are free of charge and are made by the villagers themselves. They are used first. The factory building is made of red bricks. The team leader buys them on credit and pays them back when the processing plant makes a profit. The village originally supported the construction of the processing plant, and the brick factory is also public property, so no one disagreed.

The doors, windows, storage cabinets, and dustpans were all arranged by the team leader and are all in place.

This time, the whole team worked together to build this processing plant. Su Zhuzhu encouraged the team leader to the point of being so excited that smoke was coming out of his grave, so the efficiency was extremely high.

Everything on the factory side was in place except the gate, so the group walked and chatted as they headed towards the power house in the back mountain.
