Chapter 187 We farmers have plenty of strength
Lin Feng looked at everyone's excited expression,
Suddenly he stood up on the chair and shouted loudly,
"Since everyone trusts and supports me so much,
I also have some good news to share with everyone.
If this succeeds,
"Our whole village will be able to live a good life!"
The previously noisy crowd instantly fell silent.
All eyes turned to Lin Feng.
His eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation.
Lin Qingshan was also stunned, and asked in confusion:
"Brother Lin, what's the good news?"
Please tell everyone what happened.
The crowd below also began to whisper among themselves in curiosity.
"Yes, village chief, please tell everyone!"
Someone in the crowd shouted urgently.
Lin Feng smiled and looked at Lin Qingshan, saying...
"Brother Lin, speaking of this good news..."
It's also related to your Qingqing.
Lin Qingshan was slightly taken aback.
A proud smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Oh? It's related to our Qingqing?"
Has this kid done something good again?
The village chief's words instantly piqued everyone's curiosity.
They all gathered around, pricking up their ears to listen carefully.
Upon seeing this, Lin Feng immediately broke into a confident smile.
He jumped off the chair in a flash.
He quickly walked into the middle of the crowd.
Then he said with great interest:
The day before yesterday,
Weren't Qingqing and I going to Lijia Village to teach medical knowledge and find herbs?
Qingqing discovered several purple ginseng plants on the mountain in Lijia Village!
Qingqing said that if these medicinal herbs were taken to a pharmacy,
It will definitely fetch a good price.
Village Chief Li then immediately sent someone to the pharmacy to inquire.
Qingqing also said that this Purple Spirit Ginseng is a good thing.
Wealthy families use this to nourish their bodies.
When the people sent out by Village Chief Li returned from the pharmacy,
Guess what...
Village chief Lin Feng suddenly kept everyone in suspense.
Everyone was listening attentively.
The village chief suddenly stopped talking.
Grandpa Zhang asked excitedly:
"Lin Feng, you little rascal!"
Why did you stop talking halfway through?
What exactly happened?
Why don't you tell everyone what happened?
Raymond Lam chuckled.
He kept everyone in suspense before continuing:
"What the pharmacy said was exactly the same as what Qingqing said."
They even gave them thirty taels of silver for each plant they sold.
Upon hearing this, the villagers immediately erupted in uproar.
"My God!"
This purple ginseng can actually sell for thirty taels of silver per plant!
That's an astronomical figure!
"Yes, these thirty taels of silver,"
That's enough to cover our family's expenses for two years.
"Qingqing is so lucky."
"How could they find such expensive medicinal herbs?"
Lin Feng laughed and shouted loudly,
"Everyone, please be quiet, please be quiet."
I haven't finished speaking yet!
The noisy crowd gradually quieted down.
Pairs of eyes stared at Lin Feng with anticipation.
Lin Feng continued with satisfaction:
"Qingqing is a kind-hearted child."
Whenever there's good news, they always think of us first.
She pondered,
This purple ginseng is a great opportunity that can make both our villages rich.
The idea was to organize our village and Lijia Village to cultivate purple ginseng together.
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, the crowd erupted in excitement.
"That's a great idea!"
"Our village is finally going to have a major development!"
The villagers chatted excitedly, their enthusiasm evident in their words.
Grandpa Zhang's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.
"Qingqing is truly a lucky star for our village!"
"The idea for the second crop of rice last time was also Qingqing's."
"It allowed our village to harvest an extra season's worth of grain!"
Lin Feng smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
He looked at Lu Qingqing and said gently,
"My dear,
This was the idea you came up with for everyone.
Since everyone is here today,
Why don't you come and explain it to everyone properly?
Lu Qingqing didn't expect to be called out by the village chief so suddenly.
I felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
Wang Xiuxiu encouraged her from the side.
"Qingqing,
We believe in you.
Tell everyone what exactly happened.
Lu Qingqing blushed and cleared her throat.
He stood up and said:
Fellow villagers
The day before yesterday, I was with Uncle Lin Feng and Sister Liu.
Aunt Li also went to Lijia Village to teach medical knowledge.
I accidentally discovered a few purple ginseng plants on the mountain near Lijia Village.
I knew in my heart that the purple ginseng had good medicinal value.
The idea was to let our two villages try artificial cultivation.
Subsequently,
Village Chief Li then sent someone to the pharmacy to inquire about the price of Ziling ginseng.
When they learned that a single Purple Spirit Ginseng could sell for thirty taels of silver...
The idea of artificial cultivation became even stronger in my mind.
Therefore,
I discussed it with Uncle Lin Feng and Village Chief Li.
I'd like to try artificially cultivating Purple Spirit Ginseng.
After a while,
Our two villages will each designate a suitable piece of mountain land.
As a cultivation base for Zi Ling Shen (a type of ginseng).
We will also first designate experimental fields.
Conduct small-scale trial planting.
Once the first batch of Purple Spirit Ginseng is successfully cultivated...
It's not too late to expand the scale of planting.
If we can get this done together,
For the people of our two villages,
These are all good things that are always beneficial.
It can also quickly improve the lives of the people in our village.
From now on, everyone in our village will live a good life.
As Lu Qingqing finished speaking, a murmur arose from the crowd.
At this time,
A young man stepped forward.
"Qingqing, I believe in you."
I'm willing to work with you.
Anyway, everyone's life has been like this for so many years.
I'll try that planting method with you.
Maybe it will succeed, besides,
Even if we fail, we won't lose anything, right?
It's nothing more than putting in some physical effort.
We farmers have plenty of strength.
The young man's words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake.
This instantly stirred up even more ripples.
"Yeah, let's give it a shot, maybe we'll actually succeed!"
"Trying something is better than doing nothing."
Some young people also chimed in.
His eyes shone with anticipation and determination.
Seeing the passion of young people ignited,
A wave of emotion welled up in Lu Qingqing's heart.
She pressed her advantage and said:
"I am really touched by everyone's determination."
We young people should have this kind of drive!
And we're not doing things blindly.
Behind the artificial cultivation of Zi Ling ginseng,
But they all have detailed planting plans and procedures.
At this time,
An elderly man frowned and said...
"My dear,
Whether this works out or not, we all believe in and support you.
We are all willing to give it a try.
However, cultivating purple ginseng requires traveling up and down the mountain.
An old man like me probably can't climb the mountain anymore.
What should we do?
Lu Qingqing quickly went to the old man's side.
Gently support the old man's arm,
With a face full of gratitude and concern, he said:
"Sir, you trust me so much..."
They are still willing to support this planting plan.
I was truly moved.
However, you don't need to worry about getting up the mountain.
We have already taken into account that it is not easy for an elderly person like you to move around.
Actually, the cultivation of Ziling ginseng is not entirely located on the mountains.
That gentle slope near the foot of the mountain on the east side of our village,
It is also particularly suitable for the growth of purple ginseng.
We will arrange for you and other uncles and aunts who are unable to go up the mountain to work there.
and,
The young people in the village would take on heavy work such as carrying supplies.
You'll only need to do some relatively easy guidance work.
Upon hearing this, the old man's brow gradually relaxed.
A relieved smile appeared on his face.
But still, with a hint of worry, he said:
"My dear, even on a gentle slope..."
With my old arms and legs,
They certainly aren't as efficient at work as younger people.
I'm afraid I'll hold everyone back.
A young woman standing nearby said with a smile:
"Sir, please don't say that."
You've lived in the village for most of your life.
They have far more experience in farming than we do.
Although purple ginseng is different from ordinary crops,
But many principles of planting are the same.
Please give us some guidance from the side.
We can definitely avoid a lot of detours.
"You're a huge help; how could you possibly be a hindrance?"
The surrounding villagers nodded in agreement:
"Yes, sir, you are our pillar of support."
"We still need to rely on you older generations to grow crops."
"With elders watching over us, we feel more at ease."
Seeing this, Lu Qingqing seized the opportunity and said:
"Grandpa, look how much everyone relies on you."
This time, the purple ginseng was planted.
The people from our two villages are one big family.
If we help each other, we can definitely get this done.
Moreover, once you make money...
Our village's life will definitely get better and better.
The old man smiled and nodded.
"well,
Seeing how energetic you young people are,
"I, this old man, can't fall too far behind."
