Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 302: Purchasing turpentine and Baishi

Yes……

Everyone finally realized that with Wang Chengzhou's temperament, if he could really lead everyone to get rich, how could he remain indifferent after so long?
Facing the eager eyes of all the young and old men in the village, Wang Chengzhou was speechless for a moment and could only frown and said:
"It's not like you don't know the current situation. Except for supply and marketing cooperatives, who dares to do transactions privately? Rosin and cypress are medicinal materials. If we start harvesting them on a large scale, why do people need so much of these things?"

"I'm talking about the economic value contained in pine and cypress trees, and the hard-earned pine and cypress trees."

"Although the two cannot be cashed in yet, I believe that in the near future, they will definitely become a treasure trove in our village, helping everyone to have enough food, clothing, and clothing, and live a happy life."

The old and young looked up and were silent.

It turns out that the money he was talking about was not now...

A wave of disappointment washed over me.It's not that the young and old men have no foresight and are short-sighted, but the embarrassment of life forces them to have no choice but to make a decision now.

The rosin and cypress in his mouth are actually the best medicinal materials. They are willing to believe it and know that preserving this pine forest will definitely benefit future generations.

But, can they wait?
The elderly and children had no clothes and no food to eat. During the lean years, the family had to carry bamboo baskets and dig wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger. The young men in the village were old enough to get married, but because the family was too poor, the older man from another village Girls are not willing to marry, and the shadow of being single hangs over everyone's head; the young daughter-in-law who has already married is also full of grievances, and is looked down upon by her brothers and sisters-in-law whenever she goes back to her parents' home, which makes her parents look bad, and they feel that their daughter is Jumped into the fire pit...

Everything is a real dilemma that stands in front of you.

It’s not that they don’t want to wait, it’s that they can’t wait.

The beautiful longings were shattered, leaving only an increasingly biting desolation. The villagers had bitter faces, squatting on the ground, hanging their heads, not knowing what to say.

They really didn't want to disobey Wang Chengzhou, but they had to reject his proposal.

"You've been making trouble for a long time, but you're trying to make a big deal out of the young and old!"

Wang Zhiguo finally took a breath and started dancing again. He pointed at him and sneered:
"I thought you had some great insights, but in the end, you didn't just talk nonsense and make fun of old and young men with some unrealistic things!"

"If the current problem is not solved, then what's the use of the pine trees and forests even if they can be replaced by mountains of gold and silver in the future?"

"Resin and cypress are all bullshit! Even if they are miraculous medicines, they are useless as long as they cannot cure the disease of poverty!"

Everyone suddenly raised their heads, their eyes showing a rare deep recognition of this boy who liked to bully others.

This is very reasonable. If you cannot cure a disease of poverty, no matter how good the medicine is, it will be useless!
Seeing this, Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh, feeling lonely in their hearts.

They knew what their son was thinking, and knew that when his son stood up to go against the whole village, he actually did it for the good of the whole village.

But the situation is stronger than the people.

The current life is really too hard, the villagers are really too poor, they cannot afford to wait, and they are not willing to wait.

As I thought about it, I felt a little distressed. I really wanted to call Wang Chengzhou down and tell him to stop arguing. It was obviously for everyone's good, but it made people angry.How aggrieved do you feel when you suffer injustice?

A group of educated youths finally calmed down. Looking at Wang Chengzhou's back on the field, they felt a sense of desolation and a deep sense of powerlessness from the inside out.

Even Little Pepper was speechless. She wanted to stand up several times and continue to cheer for Wang Chengzhou on the platform, but she couldn't find a suitable reason and could only sit back silently.

Party secretary Bai Houping and village chief Wang Tielin finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile at each other.Then, he glanced at Wang Chengzhou, who was standing alone in the center of the crowd, snorted slightly, stood up and announced: "Based on the actual interests of all members, the brigade branch has decided..."

All the young and old men in the village were still sitting in silence, their hearts no longer filled with excitement. They knew that they were doing something that would bring disaster to their descendants, and there was nothing to be happy about.

There was even a hint of guilt deep inside.

If everyone has a choice...

"Since everything must be based on actual interests," Wang Chengzhou, who stood like a sculpture, suddenly spoke, with a hint of hoarseness in his tone, "then, I will give you actual benefits!"

"The pine trees and cypress trees on the hillocks belong to each household and are not collective property."

"In this case, I will buy rosin and cashmere from all the fellow villagers, and I will pay the money and deliver the goods. Now you can exchange food for your parents and children, and now you can save gifts for the young people at home, and now you can make money for your family. My little daughter-in-law bought several kilograms of brown sugar and went back to her parents’ house to visit relatives!”

The big guy suddenly raised his head and looked at him blankly, his eyes couldn't help but get wet.I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a sense of relief in my heart, as if I had finally found a place to vent my grievances, and I couldn't help but want to cry.

Wang Tielin and Bai Houping's expressions changed drastically. They stared at him in shock and did not dare to speak.

"Wang Chengzhou, what are you bragging about?"

Wang Zhiguo couldn't stand it anymore and shouted hysterically, "Can you afford that money? Or are you going to buy things from old and young men at a cheap price and lie on them like a mosquito to suck blood? You Who do you think you are?"

"Baoshi costs five cents per catty. If you thresh it yourself, the peeled kernels cost ten cents per catty; rosin, the original particles containing a small amount of impurities, costs five cents per catty. Simply processed rosin costs ten cents. A pound!”

Wang Chengzhou roughly estimated the current prices of these two things, and assured him expressionlessly:
"I only buy what is grown in our own forest in our village. I don't want anything resold from other places."

"Besides, I bought it for my own use and to treat the diseases of the villagers in the ten miles and eight villages. If anyone is greedy for profit and engages in the business of buying and selling, and is caught by the police, you will bring it upon yourself."

"This acquisition information is effective immediately. When you carry the things to my house, I will give you some money on the spot."

After these words, the whole venue exploded!

The eyes of the young and old men were all wide-eyed, and their cheeks were all red with excitement. They wished they could stop this bullshit meeting, go home immediately, prepare their sickles, and go to the pine trees to cut rosin and pick cypress trees!

"Chengzhou, are you serious? My mother, what a dime a pound? The cypress trees in my family's old grave are decades old. They have grown luxuriantly and have a lot of cypress fruits. , how can you get dozens of kilograms of Bai Ziren? How much can you earn from this? The white flour is only [-] kilograms, so you can eat a month's worth of white flour just by looking at it?"

"Damn it, stop talking! Who is that? Can the conference still be held? If not, I'll go home and get the guy. When I make money, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to get a bottle of white wine tonight!"

"Cut rosin! Cut rosin! Chengzhou, you guys have to tell us how to collect rosin later. We didn't plant cypress trees in our old graves. It's all because of my grandfather's ignorance. However, our family planted them. A lot of pine trees can probably be exchanged for a lot of money!"

You guys really can't sit still.

Just now everyone was talking about money, but now the money is thrown in the face, who wouldn't be excited about it?
"Nonsense! Nonsense! What do you want to do?"

Party secretary Bai Houping turned pale with anger. He came out from behind the table to greet everyone, but who would listen to him?Each one of them looked like they didn't know this person, they were running around with their heads down.Wang Zhiguo stood stunned on the spot, completely dumbfounded.He didn't understand why Wang Chengzhou had so much courage, let alone where he got so much money. What he couldn't understand the most was that he accepted so many messy things and wasn't afraid of losing money?

Village chief Wang Tielin's face was ashen, and he didn't expect to shoot himself in the foot.I originally wanted to destroy forests and open up wasteland, and rely on real profits to gather a wave of prestige, but that bastard Wang Chengzhou took advantage of me.If he is allowed to continue his acquisitions, when young and old men meet him, who will not be able to flatter him with a playful smile?

However, the reason he found was justifiable. He was a village health worker. In order to treat diseases and save people, he bought some medicinal materials from fellow villagers on the spot. Is it reasonable?
Besides, he was very close to the commune policeman Wu, and you couldn’t even grab his pigtails!

Wang Tielin opened his mouth and gritted his teeth for a long time. Suddenly he felt a pain in his cheek, and he felt anxious and angry. He shouted coldly, "The meeting is dismissed!"

Everyone was waiting for these words, and they immediately dispersed, running faster than the rabbit.

Feeling the ardent enthusiasm of the old and young men, Wang Chengzhou did not dare to neglect and hurriedly called Xu Xiaozhi to rush home.

After a while, the only ones left on the scene were the inconvenient Little Pepper Wang Caiyun, her furious father Wang Tielin, and her resentful brother Wang Zhiguo.

Party Secretary Bai Houping snorted and didn't want to get involved in their family affairs, but thinking of the situation just now, he couldn't help but poked at her, "Village Chief Wang, I'm not too talkative. You really need to take good care of your daughter!"

"What happened in the past is in the past, and we won't settle old scores."

"But look at what she did today! Wang Chengzhou is obviously trying to undermine you, but she turns her elbows outward, scolds her own brother, and supports outsiders. What a big deal!"

After saying that, he slapped his butt and left angrily.

Wang Caiyun raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "I help the manager, not the bride. Wang Chengzhou takes a long-term view and is thinking about the future of the entire village. Why can't I speak for him?"

Wang Tielin's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he wanted to scold her on the spot, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his cheeks hurt, and he stamped his feet angrily: "Go home!"

Wang Zhiguo followed behind with a dark face. He couldn't hold back the fire in his heart, so he boldly muttered:
"Sister, how can Wang Chengzhou be such a visionary?"

"Just that rosin and cypress?"

"You can't eat or drink that thing. The supply and marketing cooperative doesn't even want it! I don't believe he can make money from those things!"

Wang Caiyun frowned, turned around and glanced at him, shook his head and said:
"Brother, have you ever thought that Wang Chengzhou might not even think about making money with those things?"

"He just wanted to preserve the pine trees in the village in this way and leave hope for our future generations."

"This kind of sentiment can be called a man. If you look at other people's shortcomings all day long and care about trivial things, you are not manly at all. What girl would like you?"

Wang Zhiguo was stunned for a moment, his face turned red instantly, his head lowered, like a defeated rooster, he even lost his energy.

When Wang Tielin saw it, his teeth itched with anger. He had never seen a sister criticizing her own brother like this. He raised his eyebrows in anger and cursed:

"What a bullshit idea, I don't believe that rosin and cypress are of any use!"

"Caiyun, as a father, I have treated you with all my kindness and righteousness. If you really can't get used to staying in this family, just leave!"

"I, Wang Tielin, don't want a daughter who eats and cheats!"

Little Pepper suddenly froze, his whole body stiffened, pursed his lips, and turned around several times to leave.She has a very proud temperament, and when her own father scolded her like this, she immediately lost her composure.

"Ouch! Ouch!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Wang Tielin covered his cheeks and started wailing, gasping for breath, his body was stooped in pain, and he walked with a limp.

A trace of worry flashed in Wang Caiyun's eyes. He suppressed the anger in his heart, chased after him and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, it hurts me to death!"

Wang Tielin was speechless, grinning and humming, "Toothache, I have toothache!"

Wang Zhiguo rolled his eyes and didn't take it seriously.But just to keep the fire going, he still muttered, "Dad is all made angry by you."

"Stop talking sarcastic!"

Wang Caiyun glared at him, took away his father's hand, and stared at his cheeks, "Our father's gums are swollen, and his cheeks are also swollen."

"Toothache is not a disease, the pain is fatal."

"Zhiguo, go find Jianguo and get some painkillers. Our father's condition is quite serious."

In fact, she originally wanted to invite Wang Chengzhou over.But Wang Tielin was furious and already hated him to death. If he asked his enemy to treat him, he would probably explode on the spot.

Wang Zhiguo rolled his eyes and responded. Seeing that his father was in so much pain that he couldn't sit still, he didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly ran to Yanggao Village.

Wang Caiyun saw that he was in really uncomfortable pain, so she poured him a glass of warm water and wanted him to rinse his mouth.

"Ouch, it hurts to death!"

Wang Tielin took it and took a sip. He almost dropped the bowl in pain and said angrily: "You want to burn me to death with such hot water?"

Wang Caiyun took it back, and the tentacles were warm, not feeling hot at all.In desperation, she brought another bowl of cold water.

"Ouch, why is it so cold?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he drank it, Wang Tielin couldn't help but threw the bowl to the ground with a bang. His eyes were bloodshot, "Wang Caiyun, you want to kill your own father, don't you?"

After being scolded by him several times, Little Pepper finally couldn't control the redness of her eye circles. She pursed her lips, picked up the bowl, and walked out silently.

　Brothers, my family has been very busy these two days. I spent four thousand a day... I will make up for it later!
