Rebirth after the 1950s

Yes, it’s true that the old man is a doctor in the village, but he’s also a pharmaceutical factory and can talk a lot.”

"Then why are you staying in the country?"

"It's too noisy in the city. Besides, it's so nice to be in the countryside. You need to eat and drink."

"All right"

"How about you study medicine with the old man? You're not in college now anyway."

"Do not"

"You have pretty good talent"

"If you really plan to accept a disciple, I think Grandpa Huang's granddaughter Lingling is quite good."

"You said that child is fine, but she is not too weak anymore."

"But didn't you also say that it can be cured?"

"Yes, it just takes too long. I'm afraid it won't work within three to five years."

"It's hard to say yet. Why don't you take advantage of these three to five years to teach her pharmacology? When she gets better, won't it be over with her knowledge of herbal medicine? When she has almost or completely understood it, you can start teaching her. ?"

"You think it's so easy to become a teacher?"

"I don't know it easily, but I know that Hu Niu (Lingling) is very smart and spiritual."

"Let me think about this again"

"Okay, if you want to understand, I need to give you a message and ask Grandpa Huang, do you think that's okay?"

"Humph, you little girl is not as good as your mother."

"That's right, my mom is the best in the world."

After saying that, he went down the mountain. He was very happy to know that he could go to the county purchasing station to sell medicinal materials. However, it was indeed troublesome to ask the brigade leader to approve the note. When the brigade knew that the medicinal materials he had found could be sold, he would not let himself go. Tell them, but not everyone can enter the deep mountains. Don't kill people. Then it will be difficult to say, alas!This is another problem.Forget it, let's talk about it then. When you come across medicinal materials, you have to pick what you should. At worst, you can save them until the market relaxes before selling them.Besides, valuable medicinal herbs cannot be grown in just one year.

After I figured it out, I stopped worrying about it. Taking advantage of the time when the farming was not busy, I finished work every day, had lunch, and took a short rest before going into the mountains. I thought I went into the mountains early, and there were not many people around the mountains at that time. As usual, I walked around Zhongwei to see if the noose I had put on could catch the prey. If I saw medicinal materials, I would pick some now, but I would keep the small ones and let them continue to grow.

Wait until [-] or [-] in the afternoon and go out. If you see Chen Enpeng and the others, take out a common herb and tell them what it is, what its habits are, and where it grows. Some like yin and some like yang. , some of them have companion plants or prey, so they need to rest and so on.Chen Enpeng and the two of them also listened carefully. Sometimes they would bring uncertain medicinal materials to him for advice when they found them on the mountain.

Within two days, all the men, women, and children in the village knew that we three educated youths had also begun to collect medicinal materials, but they did not take it seriously. These common medicinal materials were also on the outside of the mountain. In the inner circle or further inside, a few young educated youths Those who dare not go in, let alone these three, do not dare to go in. Every year after the autumn harvest is over and winter is approaching, the brigade will organize everyone to go hunting in the mountains and check the boundary between the inner area and the deep mountains, fearing that there are big ones. Prey down.

Besides, the medicinal material wasn't very valuable, so the children at home were allowed to dig it up when they had nothing to do.It only cost one or two cents per kilogram, so it was easy to dig wild vegetables and collect firewood. Besides, it didn’t matter if you had money but no tickets, the food was still real.

But they don't know that even if it's only a few cents per pound, it's still better than when they are working in the fields now.The task that can usually be completed two hours in advance every day, if you spare these two hours, you can dig as many herbs as you want. Even if you can't go to the mountains, you can still do it in Zhongwei.

How can an adult dig up ten or twenty kilograms of fresh herbs? How many kilograms can they dry in the sun? How can he earn one or two cents in a day? How much more can he earn in a month.We don’t calculate it as too much, we calculate it as ten cents a day, which is only 3 yuan a month. It can only be mined for eight months a year, which is 24 yuan. With this amount of money, a family of five or six people will spend a year. That's enough, but the accounts haven't been settled yet.

Looking at Chen Enpeng and his two brothers, after knowing that medicinal herbs can be exchanged for food and money with work points, they are much more active than others. Haven't you seen that they can leave work two and a half hours earlier than usual?Even though I couldn't dig out many herbs, my basket was always full of wild vegetables or dry firewood, which was much better than other members of the village.They will know when the money is divided during the New Year.

If nothing else goes wrong, next year the village members will start work seriously, and they will all rush to finish work early and go into the mountains to dig herbs. By then, the outer areas of the mountains will definitely be deeper, and the middle area will also be deeper. As for the demarcation into the deep mountains, The scope will also be pushed inward.But this matter is not something that I, a young educated youth, can bring up, and Chen Enpeng and the others will not mention it. On the contrary, everyone will benefit, and there is nothing wrong with it, right?

As a result, digging herbs in the mountains has become a side job for several nearby brigades. Why not do it!This side job depends on whether you are diligent or not. You will know when the village distributes money during the Chinese New Year.

A few days before the autumn harvest, I had already taught Chen Enpeng and others about twenty kinds of herbs, all of which were collected from the purchasing station. Most of them could be collected in the periphery, but a few of them needed to enter the central area. Accountant of the brigade Gu Zhenghua and Gu Zhengfu are responsible for purchasing the medicinal materials. As long as you hand them in, they will take whatever they collect and it will be credited with work points.When the money is distributed during the New Year, the village will keep [-]%, and the rest will be given to you according to the number of pounds you hand in.

There is no way to corrupt this matter privately. This matter is stipulated by the entire county pharmaceutical factory and the government.The remaining [-]% is for the village to buy pesticides or farm tools.But it also doesn’t just give you money, there are also corresponding bills and so on. These are the benefits that the government and pharmaceutical manufacturers strive for.

On the day before the autumn harvest, the total amount of herbs purchased in the village weighed more than 100 kilograms. However, the prices of different medicinal materials were not different, but they were not very different. The few types found in Zhongwei had a higher work score, and accordingly The price will be a little higher when the time comes, I estimate it will be only two or three cents per pound.

When I met Grandpa Wang, I also asked him about the purchasing price of the county pharmaceutical factory. Grandpa Wang told me that the prices of these medicinal materials are fixed by the pharmaceutical factory. Excluding the deductions by the team, they are almost the same.At the same time, Grandpa Wang also told me that if you collect medicinal materials that are not purchased in the village, you can also go to the separate purchasing station set up by the pharmaceutical factory to sell them, without a certificate from the brigade.

"Grandpa Wang, what is this?"
