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

As the forest economy began to show results in Cuigu Village, Wang Dashan became active again. He thought about further expanding the scale and sales of the village's industries so that the good things of Cuigu Village could go further.

That day, Wang Dashan summoned the backbone members of the village to the village committee again. The room was full of people. Everyone looked at Wang Dashan expectantly, knowing that he must have new ideas.

Wang Dashan cleared his throat and said firmly: "Comrades, our forest economy has made a good start, but we can't be satisfied with this. I think we have to promote these products in our village to larger cities, and we can't just stick to our small piece of land in the provincial capital."

A key member frowned and said, "It's not easy to get from the mountains to bigger cities. We are a small village, how can people in big cities look down on our local products? Besides, transportation is a big problem. Our mountain roads are not easy to travel on. If the products are bumped and dented during transportation, it will affect the quality."

Another person also agreed: "Yes, and we don't have any connections there. We are completely in the dark and don't know who to talk to about cooperation."

Wang Dashan nodded. He knew these difficulties, but he had a spirit of not admitting defeat in his heart. He said, "Comrades, there are certainly difficulties, but we cannot be afraid. When we set up the cannery, we knew nothing and had to figure it out step by step. As for the transportation problem, we can find a way to build a road. Although it is a big project, as long as everyone works together, we can slowly build the road. As for the personal connection, we can write letters to contact the supply and marketing cooperatives and big stores there, introduce the situation of our village, attach samples, and see their reactions."

After listening to Wang Dashan's words, everyone looked at each other. Although they were still a little nervous, they were also infected by his determination.

Wang Dashan immediately organized some strong laborers in the village and started working on the road construction.

Everyone carried hoes and shovels and came to the winding mountain road at the entrance of the village.

Wang Dashan waved his hoe and shouted, "Comrades, work harder. Now that we have repaired this road, we can transport the goods in the village smoothly. We will have a better life!"

A young man wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Brother Dashan, this road is really difficult to build. There are many hard rocks. How long will it take us to build it?"

Wang Dashan encouraged him with a smile: "Young man, don't be discouraged. As long as we work a little bit every day, little by little it will add up to a lot. We are laying the foundation for the future of our village. No matter how difficult it is, it is worth it!"

At the same time, Wang Dashan also asked literate people in the village to help write enthusiastic letters, detailing the forest economic products of Cui Gu Village, such as the excellent quality of Codonopsis pilosula, the purely natural breeding methods of native chickens, etc. He also attached carefully prepared samples and sent them to supply and marketing cooperatives and large stores in several big cities.

As the days passed, the road construction project was progressing slowly, but most of the letters sent out fell on deaf ears. Only a few companies replied, and they all euphemistically expressed that they were not very interested or felt that the distance was too far to cooperate.

Wang Dashan felt a little disappointed when he saw the replies, but he still encouraged everyone: "Comrades, don't be discouraged, this is just the beginning. If people don't know us, we can introduce more to them. There will always be people who know our stuff. We will also continue to repair the road. When the road is repaired, maybe an opportunity will come."

Just when everyone was feeling a little frustrated, suddenly one day, a stranger came to the village, saying that he was a medicinal material merchant from a big city. After seeing the Codonopsis samples sent by Wang Dashan, he thought that they had great potential and wanted to come for an on-site investigation.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dashan hurriedly and warmly welcomed the businessman into the village, took him to see the mountains where Codonopsis pilosula was grown, and introduced the planting process and quality control in detail.

While checking the growth of the Codonopsis pilosula, the herbal medicine merchant asked Wang Dashan: "Your Codonopsis pilosula looks good, but can you guarantee the yield? Also, if it is not transported out in time, it will go bad and become worthless."

Wang Dashan said sincerely: "Boss, don't worry, we are now building roads to facilitate transportation in the future. As for production, we are also constantly exploring better planting methods, and there is still more land in the village to be reclaimed, so expanding the scale of planting is not a problem. As long as you are willing to cooperate with us, we will do our best to ensure the quality and quantity of the supply."

The herbal medicine merchant pondered for a while and said, "Well, although your village is a little remote, I admire your enthusiasm. Let me order a small batch of goods first to see the market response. If it sells well, we can talk about long-term cooperation."

Wang Dashan was very happy when he heard this, and said quickly: "That's great, boss, don't worry, we will definitely not let you down!"

After seeing off the medicinal herb merchant, Wang Dashan gathered everyone together and told them the good news. The morale of the villagers suddenly rose again.

"Dashan, this is a great start. We must seize this opportunity."

Village Chief Petrov said with a smile.

"Yes, village chief, we must work harder to repair the road and prepare other products well, so that more big cities can know about the good things in Cuigu Village."

Wang Dashan responded with a firm look.

Therefore, everyone threw themselves into the work of road construction and product preparation with full enthusiasm. Although there were still many difficulties ahead, everyone's heart was full of hope, and they firmly believed that as long as they worked hard, Cuigu Village would be able to create a new world on this road of expansion.
