Chapter 1041 - The Successful Cultivation of Dendrobes!
Chapter 1041 The Successful Cultivation of Dendrobes!
Fang Qiu was filled with emotions when he saw that the villagers from all the villages nearby actively participated in the construction of the roads.
Those villagers had had enough of being poor.
They all knew that only when there were roads leading to the outside world could they sell their products to the outside world and be closer to the normal society, and would they no longer be isolated.
Therefore, they were very enthusiastic about paving roads.
As the person in charge of the chief construction team, Wang Yichen was deeply moved when he saw this scene, and the smile on his face became wider.
Standing next to Fang Qiu, Wang Yichen glanced at him and said with a smile, “Turns out that it’s really easy to get addicted to doing good deeds.”
Fang Qiu also smiled at him but did not respond.
He always followed his heart to do good deeds, and he liked and enjoyed doing so. Besides, he could get a sense of satisfaction he needed by doing so. He knew well about the reasons why people should do good deeds, but he didn’t want to talk about it. He didn’t need to explain anything to Wang Yichen because the latter would feel it himself.
He was most concerned about those villagers.
From the faces of these villagers, Fang Qiu could see their expectations for the future, and he was very gratified by it. As long as they were willing to work hard for a better life, Fang Qiu would definitely give them a chance to achieve that.
“Beep...”
It was a call from Li Ji.
“Hello?” Fang Qiu answered the phone.
“The Comprehensive Nourishing Pills are quite effective.”
Li Ji’s tone was less worried than a few days ago as he continued, “On behalf of the country, the people who are suffering here, and the army, I want to thank you.
“Without Comprehensive Nourishing Pills, the infection caused by the neurotropic virus wouldn’t have been cured so quickly, and there would have been more casualties. You saved many people’s lives this time.”
Fang Qiu smiled and replied, “I’m a doctor. Saving people is what I should do.”
Fang Qiu was relieved to hear that the infection had been cured on Li Ji’s side.
“What’s the situation on your side?” asked Li Ji.
“Everything is fine, but I suspect that the Nirvana Organization is plotting something evil; otherwise, they wouldn’t have done all those things,” Fang Qiu shook his head and said.
“That’s possible.”
Li Ji nodded and said, “We’re interrogating the three men from the Nirvana Organization, but it’s very difficult to get any clue out of them. The higher-ups have ordered us to make them talk at all costs.”
Fang Qiu replied, “It would be great if we could get some information out of them.”
Li Ji nodded and said, “Yeah. I may need your help at that time.”
“No problem.” Fang Qiu nodded firmly.
At the mention of the Nirvana Organization, Fang Qiu thought of the innocent people who had been killed by the organization, the people who almost died at their hands, and the organization’s unreasonable and rabid theory that went against the laws and aimed to take people’s lives.
He would not show mercy to this evil organization!
In the next few days, the workers worked hard to pave the roads, and they were very tired but still wore a happy smile on their faces.
These smiles made Fang Qiu feel very gratified and made him sure that he had done the right thing.
Fang Qiu and Wang Yichen strolled around the construction site.
“Beep...”
While they were strolling, Fang Qiu’s cell phone suddenly rang again.
He took it out and saw that it was a call from Zhu Benzheng.
“What’s wrong?” Fang Qiu answered the phone.
“The cultivation is successful,” Zhu Benzheng said with an excited voice.
Hearing that, Fang Qiu immediately beamed with joy.
After they arrived here, Zhao Shanlin, Zhu Benzheng, and the other two people would go up the mountain every morning and wouldn’t come back to rest until night.
Day after day, they spent all their energy on the cultivation of the dendrobes.
Fang Qiu was sensible enough not to disturb them.
Today, he finally got the good news.
“I’ll go find you right away,” Fang Qiu responded excitedly.
Then, he said to Wang Yichen, “I have something to do over there. I’ll go first.”
After that, he immediately ran up the mountain.
When he reached the mountainside, he saw Zhao Shanlin, Zhu Benzheng, and the other two people gathering together and observing what they had cultivated during these days.
Fang Qiu hurried up and asked, “Where is it?”
“Here,” Zhu Benzheng replied and pointed to the ground.
Fang Qiu looked down and saw a dendrobe planted through cuttage.
Cuttage, also known as stump plant, was a common method of propagating plants. The steps included putting a stem, leaf, root or other fragment taken from a growing plant into the soil, sands, or water and planting the foresaid fragments after they grew roots. Those fragments would grow into an independent plant in the end.
“If we want to cultivate dendrobes at this place, cuttage is the best way because this place is very suitable for dendrobes to grow. So the possibility of successful cultivation is above 90% if we adopt the right methods.
“Look, this dendrobe has already sprouted, which means that it has grown root and stem and has begun to absorb nutrients from the soil,” Zhao Shanlin said.
Fang Qiu immediately squatted down and dug the soil around the dendrobe with his hands.
He found that the dendrobe indeed had taken root in the soil. Although the root looked very short and tender, the dendrobe was particularly strong.
“That’s great.”
Fang Qiu said with a smile, “I’ll have this piece of land reclaimed right away and prepare to plant dendrobes here.”
“Okay.” Zhao Shanlin nodded.
Fang Qiu went down the mountain, found Wang Yichen, and said, “We’re technologically prepared to cultivate the dendrobes, and we need to reclaim a piece of wasteland. Could you please recruit more workers?”
“No problem.”
Wang Yichen nodded and immediately told the construction team through the walkie-talkie to spread the recruitment news.
Soon, the villagers heard the news.
When they heard that they could help with the cultivation of herbs, they were even more excited and rushed to apply for the job.
It didn’t take long for the construction team to recruit enough workers.
Fang Qiu left the arrangement work to Zhao Shanlin because the latter was professional in terms of plant cultivation and knew everything about it, such as where to cultivate seedlings and where to grow plants. The only person who could make the best use of the land on the mountain was Zhao Shanlin.
Fang Qiu found a place on the mountain and made some changes to it, setting up a formation there with the biggest dendrobe at the top of the mountain as the Eye of Formation.
After that, Fang Qiu went back to the village, found a notebook and a pen, and wrote down in detail the cultivation method he had learned from Shen Nong’s Herbal Classic. He even drew those pictures he learned meticulously on the notebook. Then he went up the mountain with the notebook.
“Mr. Zhao, please come over.”
Seeing that Zhao Shanlin was instructing the workers to reclaim the land while personally opening up the land, Fang Qiu didn’t walk up to disturb him but waved his hand and shouted from afar.
Hearing his voice, Zhao Shanlin excused himself with a smile and then walked over to Fang Qiu.
“This is for you.” Fang Qiu handed the notebook to him.
“What’s this?” Zhao Shanlin asked.
“A book about plant cultivation,” said Fang Qiu.
“Oh?” Zhao Shanlin glanced at Fang Qiu, confused, took the notebook, and started reading it. He was fascinated by it as soon as he finished reading the first page.
He couldn’t help getting excited. He held the book with both hands as if he had obtained a treasure. His voice trembled as he asked, “Where did you get it?”
Fang Qiu replied, “From a master.”
“A master?”
Zhao Shanlin shivered and immediately asked, “Where is he? Take me to see him!”
“Several days ago before you came here, that master gave me this book. These days, I was busy with the road construction and plant cultivation. I didn’t remember this book until the successful cultivation of the seedling reminded me of this,” Fang Qiu replied.
“Have that master left this place?” asked Zhao Shanlin.
“Yes.” Fang Qiu nodded.
“If you can get in touch with him again, you must thank him. This book is so precious,” Zhao Shanlin said.
“I will if I see him again.”
Fang Qiu nodded affirmatively and then continued, “Do you remember that we said when we prepared to establish a company that we wanted to change the Chinese Medicine market. We weren’t able to do that before. But now things changed. With this book, we can develop Genuine Medicine nationwide.
“In addition to the nine magic herbs, we can also develop ordinary Chinese medical herbs and help the local villagers make money by cultivating those herbs. In this way, the quality of Chinese Medicine in the market would be greatly improved. At the same time, the villagers in the poor areas would have a good chance to get rid of poverty.”
Hearing that, Zhao Shanlin looked at Fang Qiu in surprise and asked, “Are you saying that you want to develop Genuine Medicine nationwide? You’re going to bring a great change to the Chinese Medicine market by doing so. Are you sure about that?
“Even if you successfully cultivate those medical herbs, aren’t you afraid that the other suppliers of medical herbs would target you?”
Having joined the company for so long, Zhao Shanlin began to know those commercial competitions.
Fang Qiu smiled and replied, “This is the right thing to do, so I’ll forge ahead even if thousands of people try to stop me.”
“Awesome!” Zhao Shanlin nodded and sighed deeply.
He almost witnessed how Fang Qiu grew stronger and stronger with his own eyes. He admired Fang Qiu even more for his achievements in developing the company and all kinds of medicines and for the development strategies he made for the company, such as the plan he just proposed.
“Mr. Zhao, please stop refusing to take the medicines produced by our company. The medicines produced by our company are of high quality, and there is a sufficient supply of them. Moreover, you don’t need to pay for them. The company will need your help in many aspects. You’re growing old and must take good care of yourself,” Fang Qiu said.
He said those words because he knew that Zhao Shanlin would often feel tired after work but was reluctant to take the medicines produced by the company as he thought they were too precious.
