Siheyuan: I am protecting Shazhu, who dares to object?

As the Cui Gu Village cannery grew stronger and stronger, Wang Dashan began to think about the future development direction of the village.

He felt that the company could not rely solely on canned fruit products, but should also diversify its development and explore more industrial fields.

One day, Wang Dashan was walking on the hillside in the village. Looking at the fruit trees and lush forests all over the mountain, he suddenly had an idea.

He thought, since the village has so many abundant natural resources, why not develop some forest economy?

For example, planting some Chinese medicinal herbs or raising some poultry and livestock.

After Wang Dashan returned to the village, he told his ideas to the village chief Petrov and several other key members.

Everyone thought it was very creative, but they were also a little worried. After all, this was a completely new field and no one had any experience.

Village chief Petrov said, "Dashan, your idea is indeed good, but we have never engaged in forest economy. Will it work? And we don't know what Chinese medicinal herbs to grow or what poultry and livestock to raise."

Wang Dashan said: "Village head, I know this is a challenge, but we can first conduct some small-scale experiments to accumulate experience. As for what kind of Chinese medicinal herbs to plant and what kind of poultry and livestock to raise, we can invite some experts to investigate and listen to their opinions."

After listening to Wang Dashan's words, everyone thought they made sense, so they decided to invite experts to the village to investigate first.

Not long after, Wang Dashan contacted a professor from an agricultural university and a veterinary expert, who came to Cui Gu Village and conducted a detailed investigation of the village’s mountains, forests and land.

The professor said to Wang Dashan: "The natural conditions in your village are very suitable for growing some Chinese medicinal herbs, such as Codonopsis pilosula, Astragalus membranaceus, Bupleurum chinense, etc. These Chinese medicinal herbs have a large market demand and their prices are relatively stable."

The veterinary expert also said: "Your village has a large area of ​​forests, so you can raise some native chickens, rabbits, goats, etc. These poultry and livestock have strong adaptability and delicious meat, which is very popular in the market."

After listening to the expert's words, Wang Dashan felt more confident.

He immediately organized some young people in the village to set up a forest economic cooperative and began small-scale experimental planting and breeding.

Wang Dashan said to the young people: "Comrades, we are now going to start developing the forest economy. This is a new journey. Everyone should be full of confidence and study hard. We will start with planting Codonopsis pilosula and raising native chickens, and then gradually expand the scale after accumulating experience."

The young people were very enthusiastic and expressed their willingness to work hard.

So, Wang Dashan led everyone to reclaim a piece of land in the mountains and forests, planted Codonopsis pilosula seedlings, built a chicken coop at the foot of the mountain, and introduced a batch of native chicken seedlings.

During the planting and breeding process, Wang Dashan and the young people encountered many problems.

For example, the Codonopsis seedlings were infected with diseases and pests, and some native chickens also became sick.

But Wang Dashan did not back down. On the one hand, he consulted experts and on the other hand, he looked up information himself to find solutions to the problem.

Once, there was a large-scale outbreak of diseases and insect pests on the Codonopsis pilosula seedlings, and Wang Dashan was extremely anxious.

He immediately rushed to the Agricultural University, found the professor, and asked him for methods to prevent and control pests and diseases.

The professor explained to Wang Dashan in detail the knowledge of disease and insect pest prevention and control, and gave him some special pesticides and biological control methods.

After Wang Dashan returned to the village, he immediately organized everyone to carry out prevention and control according to the professor's methods.

After several days and nights of hard work, the pests and diseases were finally brought under control, and the Codonopsis seedlings regained their vitality.

To deal with the problem of native chickens getting sick, Wang Dashan also invited a veterinary expert.

The veterinary experts carefully examined the condition of the native chickens, prescribed medicine for them, and taught Wang Dashan some daily epidemic prevention knowledge.

Under the careful care of Wang Dashan and the young people, the Codonopsis pilosula and the native chickens are growing better and better.

When the harvest season comes, the yield and quality of Codonopsis pilosula are very good, and the local chickens grow fat and strong.

Wang Dashan took samples of Codonopsis pilosula and native chickens to the market in the provincial capital and found some herbal medicine merchants and restaurant owners.

When the medicinal herb dealers saw the Codonopsis pilosula from Cuigu Village, they praised it highly and expressed their willingness to purchase it.

After tasting the local chickens from Cuigu Village, the restaurant owner was very satisfied and signed a supply contract with Wang Dashan on the spot.

After returning to the village, Wang Dashan told everyone the good news.

The villagers all cheered and everyone saw the development prospects of the forest economy.

Village chief Petrov said happily: "Great mountain, you have brought new hope and opportunities to our village. Once the forest economy develops, our village's industries will be more diversified and the villagers' income will be higher."

Wang Dashan said with a smile: "Village head, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts. We must continue to work hard and explore, so that the industry of Cuigu Village will become more and more prosperous and everyone's life will become more and more prosperous."
