The Wizard of Medicine

Chapter 11 Discuss important matters
"Oh, Assistant Yan, you're going to the countryside. Hey, you look so good." Except for the chief and deputy leaders, the general township cadres are called assistants as long as they become regulars, which means assistant to the township chief.Except for some directors, such as land directors, finance directors, civil affairs directors, judicial directors, and armed forces ministers, others are generally called assistants.Just like the deputy township head is also called the township head, everyone in the village calls him Assistant Yan if they know it or not.

"I met a brilliant Chinese medicine doctor who helped me recuperate. Hu, do you have carrots and sweet potatoes?" Although there are other fruits and vegetables in the restaurant, these two are the most popular this month.

"Yes. How much?"

"Ten catties of each item, put it in this cloth bag."

"Okay. It's four and a half dollars."

"Here's the money. Hey, come out, Hu. See this bunch of machines?"

Old Hu was startled, "What is this? When did you get it? Who got it?"

"I asked someone to bring the hand-cranked corn thresher. I guess you were busy just now, so you didn't follow Wu." Sui Wu means to pay attention.

"Corn thresher?"

"Yes, I would like to ask you to watch it for a while. I will find someone to pull it at noon. There are 101 units in total, and you can try one of them. The ten yuan is for your custody fee."

"Let me try it out? You don't have to pay the custody fee." Lao Hu shook his hands wildly.

Yan Zixiu gave him ten yuan: "I don't like white laborers, so you can take it if you want."

Lao Hu accepted the money embarrassingly: "Don't worry, I guarantee that there will be a lot of one." He quickly helped to tie the cloth bag to the outside, put it on the rear seat of Assistant Yan's bicycle horizontally, and then pressed on the spring clip.In this way, there are things at both ends of the cloth bag, and the middle is empty, so it is very stable and will not fall.There is another detail, that is, the ends of the bag should not hang too low, otherwise it will touch the heels when riding.

……

Get off the road from Heliwan, walk three or four miles on the dirt road at the bottom of the river, and go up the river bank for another three miles, and you will arrive at Gulou Village.There are some trees on the bank of the river, the sun shines through the branches and leaves, and the country road is a little white in the yellow. The bicycle is moving along the road. It feels really enjoyable, and it makes people want to ride like this forever.

When there was no one before entering the village, Yan Zixiu asked Wuyou to fix a threshing machine, tie it to the cloth bag, sprinkle the carrots and sweet potatoes with seasoning liquid, and put a few pears from the Qiankun Ring into the cloth bag , and then rode directly to the door of the village party secretary Chen Dahe's house: "Is Lao Chen at home?" During the busy farming season, he is usually at home.

"Assistant Yan is here." Chen Dahe greeted him from the courtyard.Lao Chen is in his 40s, not tall, with a round face, black and red, and looks very strong. "Hey, you look good."

"I met a brilliant Chinese medicine doctor the day before yesterday, and he recuperated my body."

"That's great. Come, come in. What have you brought here?" After entering the yard, Lao Chen helped unpack the machine and the cloth bag.Old Chen's wife, surnamed Wang, is an ordinary rural woman with a cheerful personality, and she also came to help her: "Assistant Yan is here?"

"Come on, sister-in-law. They are all good things. This is a hand-cranked corn thresher. We'll talk about the contents of the cloth bag later. Aren't you peeling corn? Come on, try it."

"Good stuff!" Zizizizizizizizizizizi, a corn cob was removed in a few seconds.Lao Chen fell in love with it as soon as he tried it, "Where did you get it? How much is one?"

"My classmate lent it to me for a trial. Don't ask the price, just say whether you like it or not."

"I'm sure I like it. It must weigh thirty or forty catties, right? Thankfully you brought it here from such a long distance. At home, hurry up and pour tea for Assistant Yan."

"If it's too light, it's unstable, but if it's too heavy, it's hard to carry it. So it's [-] catties."

The sister-in-law poured tea and said, "This thing is really good, but it's too little."

Yan Zixiu said: "I tried it at my home. The corn cobs on the five-acre field, one person and one machine, can be removed in three days."

"Three days alone? Then other people can do other jobs. That's great."

Yan Zixiu changed the subject: "Old Chen, I am here this time to check the progress of the autumn harvest."

"Check or not, isn't the progress the same every year?" Lao Chen smiled slyly, "However, if we can build more threshers, it will be different."

"How many do you think is enough?"

"There are [-] households in Gulou Village. If there are [-] machines, it will take three days to peel the corn. If there are [-] machines, it will take nine days."

"I have prepared 101 units for you."

"Really?" Lao Chen asked again, "If you spend money, you know the situation of our brigade..." Although the production brigade was changed to the village committee, everyone still used to call it brigade.

"I knew that you, Old Chen, were an iron rooster. Don't worry, this is my classmate's face, and I borrowed it for free. Is it interesting?" Everyone is used to joking, and Lao Chen won't get angry if you say that Lao Chen is an iron rooster.

"Then the progress of our village's autumn harvest is guaranteed to be seven days ahead of schedule. This time we will also get ahead." Lao Chen was very happy.In the past, Gulou Village basically lagged behind everywhere. Lao Chen often laughed at himself and said that everyone should be a red flower, but who should be a green leaf?That being said, who doesn't want to be advanced?Yan Zixiu used to care about being advanced and lagging behind, but there was nothing he could do about it.If Gulou Village is an advanced village, can it be his turn to stay in the village?

Now, his mentality has changed.

"Okay, let's try to get the first place this time. The threshers are all in Xiaozhuang's Hu's restaurant now, shall we go and get them back in the morning?"

"Let's go, I'll go find the tractor." Lao Chen was rarely positive this time.

Yan Zixiu took out a few carrots from the cloth bag and said to his sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, mix some carrots for us at noon."

The sister-in-law said, "Where are the carrots? You even brought them here."

Yan Zixiu smiled mysteriously: "This carrot is quite different."

The sister-in-law also smiled: "Okay, you guys go to work."

……

A black and thin young man drove a four-wheel tractor roaring to the front of Hu's restaurant. Yan Zixiu and Lao Chen jumped out from the back compartment.Old Hu came out and said, "Assistant Yan, your thresher is so useful. Can you save some more for me?"

"Not this time. The market price is [-] for a set, and I'll give you an internal price of [-]. You ask first, how much do you want, and collect the money. Let's talk about it when I pass by."

Lao Hu hurriedly took out fifty: "I want this one, and I will give you the money first."

While installing the machine with the black and thin young man, Lao Chen said, "Assistant Yan, your classmate is really rich. This thing that costs thousands of dollars is for nothing."

"I can't help it. Being handsome means having face." Yan Zixiu accepted Lao Hu's money and laughed, which made everyone laugh too.

"Hey, Assistant Yan. You said that our village has run out, can you rent it to other villages? Give half of the rent to your classmates?" Old Chen settled the accounts, and after nine days were completed, he could rent it for half a month.One dollar a day, one hundred units is one thousand and five miles.

"My classmate said, except for the ex-factory price, you don't need a cent, just use whatever you want. However, he has a suggestion."

"What advice?"

"I hope that half of the extra income from these rents can be used to help the poor and help the sick."

"This is a good thing, no problem at all!" Old Chen patted his chest.Yan Zixiu intuited that there was a white light shining from Old Chen's head, and hurriedly used the Wang Qi Jue to see that there were three inches of white light rushing upwards in the gray aura.He was overjoyed, and estimated that the fruit and vegetable base in Gulou Village could be successful.People without virtue can't control the situation.

Back at Lao Chen's house in Gulou Village, it was already past twelve noon, and my sister-in-law was still threshing grains with the threshing machine.Yan Zixiu said: "Sister-in-law, don't wait for the rural meal at 03:30. Please cook, we will thresh. After dinner, Lao Chen and I have important things to discuss. Don't forget the carrots I brought. "Sister-in-law promised to go.

Old Chen unloaded another machine, and said with a smile: "It's an important matter, how important is it?"

"It's bigger than a mountain." Yan Zixiu also laughed, and gave the black and thin young man a juicy pear, and sent him away.Let's work together with Lao Chen.

……

On the dinner table, there is a plate of scrambled eggs, a plate of cold carrots, a steamed bun, and three bowls of noodles.

Old Chen wanted to get some wine, but Yan Zixiu hurriedly stopped him: "No, the Chinese medicine doctor said that I can't drink anymore. Old Chen, don't drink today either. There is something important that needs you to be sober today, so you must stop drinking." One of the requirements in Qi Jue is to abstain from alcohol. Alcohol can mess with sex. Practicing Wang Qi Jue requires a lot of mind and character.So of course Yan Zixiu didn't dare to drink, and the change in his physique also made him not want to drink.

"What's the big deal, you're so secretive." Old Chen sat down.

"Sister-in-law, you come too, you all try this carrot."

Seeing Yan Zixiu being so serious, both of them tasted the carrot.Sure enough, the scene at the market yesterday reappeared.I saw the two people staring round, picking up carrots with chopsticks one after another, and they couldn't think of letting Yan Zixiu eat them.When they were almost finished eating, the two of them came to their senses and felt embarrassed.

"Is it delicious?"

"good to eat?"

"This kind of dish, double the price, is it easy to sell?"

"Good sale."

Yan Zixiu took out sweet potatoes from the cloth bag again: "If the carrots and sweet potatoes in Gulou Village become like this..."

Lao Chen imagined that if things were like this, each household would earn at least a few thousand yuan more, and the total income of 90 households in the village would be more than 30 yuan.How is this possible, how is this possible.The annual fiscal revenue of the township is only [-] million.Even with discounts and discounts, the income of the village can increase by tens of thousands.Old Chen was a little excited.

"Old Chen, don't get too excited. It's not possible to turn all the carrots and sweet potatoes in Gulou Village into this."

"Hey, don't you make me happy for nothing."

"It's not in vain. Part of it is still possible, at least it can alleviate the difficulties in the village."

"Yes, part of it is fine. How much can it change?"

Yan Zixiu thought to himself, it's quite scary to see that a bottle of seasoning elixir can adjust 100 million catties.Actually not much.The yield of sweet potatoes varies from variety to variety, ranging from [-] to [-] jin to [-] to [-] jin.Two hundred mu of sweet potatoes is more than one million catties.A village committee has [-] mu of land.He said to Lao Chen: "The first batch can be considered five to one hundred thousand catties."

"That's a lot."

"There are more." Yan Zixiu took out the Shui Lingli again.One look at the sleek appearance, Lao Chen knew it was famous.Yan Zixiu gave each of Lao Chen and his sister-in-law one, and said: "This is a Shuiling pear, and the price can be several times higher than that of ordinary pears. Next year, I plan to propagate some Shuiling pear trees from cuttings. In the future, as long as farmers who plant Shuiling pears will With the cash cow. This is the long-term plan."

It is a taboo in the countryside that pears cannot be eaten separately, for fear of separation.Especially for couples, they don't share a pear.
