Chapter 128 Planting Medicinal Herbs
Rongguofu
"Mom, little aunt, look!" He waved excitedly and led the two to his side, "I found a special medicinal herb. It's easy to grow, has a high yield, and has the effect of healing."
Zhang Yanran walked forward, carefully observing the medicinal material and gently sniffing the medicinal fragrance in the air. Not to mention that the smell was quite special, her eyes revealed sincere admiration: "Yifei, it seems that you really found a treasure this time!"
Lin Yuxi looked at the familiar plant and smiled, hiding her merits and fame. That was the product of her sudden inspiration after she got the portable medicine field and grafted it with some seasonings. Although the effect was not as amazing as her peony, the effect was amazing enough!
Just look at the reaction of her eldest nephew and you will know!
She pretended to be curious and sniffed it, with a surprised expression on her face: "The aroma of this herb is very special, but after smelling it for a long time, I feel that I quite like it!"
Lin Yifei nodded, his eyes sparkling with anticipation: "That's right, and I heard from the hunter who found it that this herb can be ground into powder and used in cooking. Not only can it make the food more delicious, but it can also replenish the body's vitality. If you are injured, you can use it directly as medicine powder. Anyway, the effect is amazing!"
"Mom, little aunt, I want to give these herbs to the veterans in the farm to plant and process. Not only will they be able to earn a steady stream of income, but we can also harvest a batch of good medicinal powder to provide assistance to Dad and the others!"
Zhang Yanran and Lin Yuxi looked at each other and saw the approval in each other's eyes. I didn't expect this kid to grow so fast and now consider things so carefully!
Zhang Yanran looked intently at her son, who had grown up a lot recently. She felt that he had gotten a little tanned, but when she saw his bright eyes, she felt genuinely happy. "Yifei, you've really grown up!"
Lin Yuxi patted Lin Yifei on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Yifei, your idea is very good. We support you, go ahead and give it a try if you want."
……
Lin Yifei stood on the barren land of the farm, looking firmly at the group of veterans and the young men in front of him. Some of them were disabled, some were old, and some were ignorant, but there was more or less a hint of darkness in their eyes.
And his first task now is to convince them to follow him!
"Everyone, I am Lin Yifei, the eldest young master of Rongguo Mansion. I believe some of you have seen me before. I am standing here today not as the young master of your mansion, but as a partner who wants to fight side by side with you and get out of trouble together."
Lin Yifei took a deep breath, looked around, and continued, "I know that the land here is barren, life is hard, and everyone's face is engraved with the vicissitudes of life and the hardships of life. Some of you are disabled, some are old, and some are still young and ignorant, but no matter which situation, it should not be a reason for us to bow to fate."
Lin Yifei's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his eyes swept across everyone's face, trying to read support or doubt from their expressions.
"Master, we are all farmers. What else can we do besides farming?" an old soldier said tremblingly, his words revealing helplessness and confusion.
Lin Yifei took a deep breath. He knew that his decision would change the lives of these people and would also bring him unprecedented challenges. But now, he wanted to lead this group of people out of trouble.
"I found a special medicinal herb. This herb is extremely valuable and in great demand in the market. Most importantly, it is easy to grow and can thrive even in this barren land."
Lin Yifei said, pulling out the yellowed book sponsored by the "Hunter" from his arms, "This book describes in detail the medicinal value of this herb and how to grow it. If you are willing to trust me, then let's try growing it together?"
The veterans looked at each other, with doubts and expectations in their eyes. They knew that Lin Yifei was from a military family and had never been involved in agriculture, but in this difficult situation, they were willing to trust this young master from the Duke of Rong's Mansion.
In the following days, Lin Yifei led the veterans to start arduous experiments and explorations. They worked in the fields during the day and sat under the lights at night, studying the yellowed book and discussing planting techniques and precautions.
Although Lin Yifei lacks experience, he is diligent and eager to learn, and is not afraid of failure. He tries different planting methods again and again, and sums up his experience and lessons again and again. The veterans are also infected by his persistence and tenacity, and they work together to face difficulties together.
Finally, one morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the fields, Lin Yifei excitedly discovered that tender green seedlings had grown in the medicinal herb field. He excitedly ran all over the village and told every veteran the good news.
"We succeeded!" Lin Yifei's voice was full of joy and pride, "This is the result of our joint efforts!"
The veterans flocked to the medicinal herb field, and looking at the tender green seedlings, long-lost smiles appeared on their faces.
Although I don’t know if these herbs are as good as Master Yifei said, this is hope! Not only hope for the herbs, but also hope for their lives!
……
As the production of the herb gradually increased, Lin Yifei began to promote it to the market. He visited drugstores and restaurants in Beijing with samples to introduce the miraculous effects of the herb.
At first, people were skeptical, but as time went on, more and more people began to try this material named "Lingyu Pepper" and praised it highly.
Lin Yifei struck while the iron was hot and negotiated with merchants for cooperation. Soon, "Lingyu Pepper" became a hot commodity in the market, and the supply was in short supply. The veterans' income also gradually increased, and their lives gradually improved.
……
Seeing that her eldest nephew was willing to push the exclusive business to others in order to increase sales as quickly as possible, Lin Yuxi was so moved that she sponsored a book "Taste Buds Feast: Encyclopedia of Snacks".
"Here, take it! I'll help you expand the market!"
Lin Yifei took the book, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. He turned the pages and saw that it contained both pictures and texts, including the methods of making snacks and the ways to run a business.
"Aunt, you are amazing. Where did you find such a good book? With these recipes, the people in the village can be divided!"
Lin Yifei watched and wondered which people had better skills and which people were more eloquent... The more he thought about it, the more impatient he became, so he simply went back to the manor with the book and started a new round of research with everyone.
……
While the people in the village were constantly practicing their skills, Lin Yifei led them to look for a suitable place for them to set up a stall! He remembered that the book said that all kinds of delicious snacks were put together to form a snack street, and the effect was not as simple as one plus one was greater than two!
After searching for several days, they finally found a suitable location on a side street of the West City. The next step was the intensive and orderly preparations.
Lin Yifei used the business skills in the book to develop a marketing strategy. He designed an eye-catching sign and arranged for the veterans to wear uniform clothing to show the neatness and professionalism of the snack stand.
On the opening day, the snack stand was crowded with people. The food carefully prepared by the veterans exuded an enticing aroma, attracting a large number of customers to stop and taste it. Lin Yifei was busy greeting the guests and introducing the characteristics of various snacks.
As time went by, the snack stand became more and more prosperous. With fresh and clean ingredients and exceptionally delicious taste, the veterans finally achieved a great turnaround in their lives.
