Druid's Country Retirement

"Continue to see what tricks Oak Technology is playing. The other party has collected the money, so they won't lie to me."

Even though he was furious, the company boss suppressed his anger and scolded the technical director to sit down.

The video continues to play.

Li Hongbing appeared on the screen while explaining and demonstrating the process of preparing the medicine. So many rare medicinal materials were processed in various ways, and in the end only half a jar of inconspicuous paste-like object was boiled out. I heard Li Hongbing introduce the ointment.

There was a buzz of discussion in the conference room.

Now let alone the technical director who couldn't stand it, the others looked even more disbelieving.

So Duoxi had the medicinal ingredients and boiled half a jar of ointment, which could only be used four times.

are you crazy?
  The combined value of these medicinal materials is several million, and a skilled Chinese medicine practitioner is needed to prepare the medicine.

If it fails, millions of dollars will be wasted without even making a sound.

Technique was not as angry as before, but asked cautiously.

"Mr. Zhao, I seriously doubt the authenticity of this video. Will the other party deliberately mislead us?"

"I have been in this industry for so many years, and I have never heard of using medicinal materials to cultivate vegetables. If it was really possible, those high-end research institutes would be closed down. It is simply an international joke."

The company boss shook his head, "The friend who provided the video claimed that he was present from beginning to end, and there was a process of soaking the seeds afterwards. The video should be fine. Let's continue watching."

The technical director showed an expression of disbelief, "Unheard of, unheard of."

After finishing speaking, he sat down and looked directly at the screen.

When all the videos were played, there was silence in the conference room.

Everyone's eyes were dull and deep in thought. The video was coherent from beginning to end, with no trace of editing.

This kind of technology completely subverts the current development of agricultural planting. If we talk about the use of high-tech genetic technology, everyone has nothing to say. After all, the technical barriers are there. Even if you want to crack the research and development, it is not difficult, as long as you invest a lot of money. Finish.

Through video research, it can be seen that the so-called core technology does not have any high-tech content at all, and all uses traditional Chinese medicinal materials, which also involves the field of traditional Chinese medicine that everyone does not understand.

As the saying goes, if you don't know how to study, you can't understand it.

"Mr. Zhao, I..." the technical director spoke again, but was stopped by the boss who raised his hand, "We'll talk later. I just sent the video to a friend who is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. I'll wait until he watches it before talking."

Before he finished speaking, the mobile phone on the table rang.

The boss signaled everyone not to speak, calmed down and pressed the speaker phone. Before he could speak, a hurried inquiry came from the other side.

"Boss Zhao, where did you get this video? It's a waste of natural resources, a waste of natural resources!"

"Mr. Li, is there something wrong with the video?"

"No problem, the medicinal materials used in it are too rare. Fifty years of ginseng has been wasted in this way. There are also [-] years of Polygonatum and Polygonum multiflorum. Now one less tree is used. These are all precious medicines that can cure diseases and save lives. How can it be used like this, Boss Zhao, tell me who did it."

Listening to the heartbreaking accusations on the phone, Boss Zhao didn't bother to ramble, "Mr. Li, do you think this ointment can improve crop yields and growth?"

"Don't talk about promotion, you can even become an immortal!" He finished speaking as if to vent. The other end of the phone may have noticed his gaffe, calmed down his excitement and returned to reason, "It's hard to say, I have been a doctor for so many years, and I have never heard of the effect of medicinal materials on plants. There are therapeutic effects, but Chinese medicine has been passed down for thousands of years. I don’t know, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Maybe it’s because I’m not good at studying. It’s very common for Chinese medicine to turn decay into magic.”

Boss Zhao's eyes flashed with hope and he asked, "Then if I can gather the medicinal ingredients, can you make a pot of it as usual?"

The voice on the phone stopped suddenly, and it took a while before the answer came.

"Let's not talk about whether you can gather this pot of medicinal materials. Judging from the video, the young man is very skilled in preparing medicinal materials. You don't understand. You only see that the other party's preparation method is simple. It contains a lot of skills. What season? There are particularities in collecting herbs, the time when they are collected, and the processing techniques.”

"There are 17 traditional methods of processing medicinal materials from ancient times to the present, including roasting, stir-frying and refining, dofei fu pound, 槧 exposed powder, yin and yang and five elements. Each one has its own special technique, and there are also processing methods that have not been handed down. I dare not say that I have learned all the methods.”

"The final preparation of the medicine also includes skills, including frying first, adding it later, frying it, frying it separately, and dividing the medicine. When to add the medicine, how many times to add the medicine, and what level of heat should be used to add the medicine. If the video says that You secretly hide medicinal powder in your palm and add it to the pot at the same time as other medicinal materials, how do you know?"

"Just this pot of medicine, no one can make it without inheritance. Even if you force it out, the good medicine will turn into poison."

"Boss Zhao, I advise you to give up this idea. Although the analytical instruments are advanced now, for Chinese medicine, I have a hundred ways to prevent you from detecting it, and the big shot in the video only has more methods than me. No less.”

Hang up with the phone.

The conference room was deathly silent.

With a livid face, Boss Zhao picked up his cell phone and stood up abruptly. He was about to dial the internal number of Oak Company, but then he seemed to have figured it out and sat back in his chair slumped.

"Go ahead and contact Oak Technology to see if you can get the provincial agency rights for Oak Vegetables. If you can't beat them, join."

This scene was staged simultaneously across the country.

Any company that has watched the video has a sense of powerlessness.

What can I do if I get the core technology? The medicinal materials in the video are simply not available. Even if I get a doctor together, there is no guarantee of success. If I insist on persisting, no amount of money will be enough to fill this bottomless hole.

at the same time.

Li Ming has received more than a dozen calls. Those industry leaders who were once arrogant are now asking for cooperation in a low voice. This feeling is really pleasant.

At this moment, I understood what the big boss was thinking.

Killing four birds with one stone, this is a clever move.

What is a farmer?
  Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four seasons are busy.

People in the world may easily see the beauty of autumn harvest, but they may not be able to understand the pain of spring planting and summer growth, and it is easier to lose it in winter storage!

When the weather gets cold in winter, farmers can just warm up by the fire at home and take a rest. That’s not really the case.

Every year, after October and a half in the forest area, the farm work in the fields is finished, and preparations for winter storage almost begin.

Grain storage, winter food storage, wood storage, etc. are all a type of winter storage. In a word, it is difficult to have leisure time.

Li's old house.

Li Hongbing and Shan Xing were busy moving the glutinous rice out of the warehouse.

Every year at the end of October, every household will start brewing rice wine. When Li Hongbing was a child, as long as he saw his grandmother brewing rice wine, that would be the beginning of a gourmet feast that rural children most look forward to. The steamed glutinous rice is sprinkled with white sugar, stirred together with chopsticks, and then gulped down again. Glutinous and sweet.

Whether rice wine is good or not depends on three key points: glutinous rice, koji, and fermentation.

In forest areas, glutinous rice is usually used to make rice wine. In the past, many people grew glutinous rice in the local area. Later, the price of glutinous rice was cheap outside, and the low price of the grain hurt the farmers. After the price could not be afforded, it was not grown locally anymore. Occasionally, a small amount was grown for personal use. .

But Li Hongbing believes that making rice wine requires using forest area glutinous rice, so that the rice wine brewed will have a homely taste.

When I met people from other villages selling local glutinous rice at the market, I asked Li Hongbing to pay a high price.

If I didn't have time to make the trip, I would have planned to cultivate my own seeds and plant a piece of glutinous rice field.

The glutinous rice was moved to the well, and the dust in the glutinous rice was washed away with well water, and then the washed glutinous rice was put into a large basin. Li Hongbing specially picked mountain spring water from the Bailongtan in the backyard to soak the glutinous rice.

After soaking overnight, you can put it in the steamer the next day.

Anyway, Li Hongbing definitely doesn't know how to make rice wine, so he will listen to Shan Xing's instructions honestly.

When I was washing the glutinous rice, I had a sudden idea.

The power of the source can affect seeds. Glutinous rice can also be regarded as seeds, but it is just rice hulled from glutinous rice.

How about giving it a try! !
  Li Hongbing took a peek at Shan Xing who was washing the steamer, then quietly put his hand into the basin and secretly put in the original power. After finishing, pretend that nothing happened, whistling and strolling to the rocking chair.

Chirp!

A group of meerkats after get off work rushed into the rice field and surrounded the rocking chairs and made crisp calls.

"Okay, okay, I know you have worked hard!" Li Hongbing comforted the meerkat group, remembering that when Li Ming came over in the morning, he gave several boxes of pet cans, saying that they were wages for the meerkat group.

Then he got up and walked into the warehouse and took out a cardboard box.

"Come here and pay your wages."

Whoops!

The meerkat group cooed excitedly and jumped up and down around the cardboard box.

Li Hongbing opened the carton and took out a can. The label said the flavor of imported raw cut beef. When he opened the lid, a strong aroma of meat came out.

Smelling the fragrance, the meerkats cooed anxiously.

"Eat."

After putting down the can, the group of meerkats swarmed forward. The larger meerkats did not go to grab the food, but let the small meerkats eat first.

What a loving family!

Li Hongbing opened nine more cans and distributed them to other meerkats.

After finishing his work, he stood up and slapped his waist, looking up at the dusk night sky, "Myolie, is Anna back?"

Shan Xing walked out of the kitchen holding a cabbage, "My sister-in-law called and said that Anna was at their house tonight and wouldn't come back!"

You stinky girl, you are getting bolder and bolder now.

Li Hongbing shook his head helplessly. Ever since she returned to the countryside, Anna still looked like a lady. She just looked like a little bandit.

Two days ago, Uncle Lao Liang came to complain to me, saying that Anna pretended to be him and signed Tiedan's exam paper. No one could read her handwriting, and Tiedan was also brainless. Uncle Lao Liang couldn't read, so how could he sign his name? It's all based on fingerprints.

One dares to sign and the other dares to use it.

Both are clever guys.

The next day.

At dawn, the majestic crow of colorful roosters echoed on the rooftops.

Li Hongbing lay on the warm quilt and lamented that no one was bothering him today, so he could sleep comfortably with his wife in his arms.

As the saying goes, good things don't work but bad things do. What you are afraid of will come to you.

A group of meerkats were chirping and yelling outside the window, and there were also wolves and dogs whining.

What's wrong?
  It doesn't make people live in peace.

Li Hongbing got up angrily, put on his clothes and walked out of the main room.

As soon as the door opened, the wolf dogs rushed into the room, biting Li Hongbing's trouser legs and making low whining sounds.

what?
  Li Hongbing's expression changed and he lowered his head to look at Dahua, "You said Mother Bear was injured in the meadow?"

Dahua nodded, ran to the door and turned back, repeating several times.

"Brother, what happened!" Shan Xing asked from inside the room.

"Mama Bear is injured and is lying on the meadow. Dahua and the others are here to report the news. I'll go take a look!" Li Hongbing said as he got dressed and hurriedly followed the wolfdogs out of the yard, followed closely by the meerkat group.

The meadow was foggy in the early morning.

When Li Hongbing came to the livestock shed, he found that in addition to the sheep and pigs, there were also animals rescued from the zoo, but the horses, black horns and cattle were missing.

Dahua took the lead and rushed into the fog, using her calls to guide the direction.

After running in the fog for unknown lengths of time, Li Hongbing vaguely saw a group of figures moving.

After getting closer, Heifeng led the horses, cattle and black horns, with their heads facing outside, forming a circle, as if they were protecting something.

Boom!

Moo!
  baa baa!

Seeing Li Hongbing appear, the animals made worried noises and moved out of the way.

"I see, it's fine."

Li Hongbing walked into the pen while comforting the animals.

I got hurt again, each time more serious than the last.

Mother Bear lay quietly on the dew-covered grass. She had various scars on her body, especially a deep wound on her back. Some of the wounds had traces of decay around them, indicating that Mother Bear had been injured for a long time. You could see her slightly undulating body.

I quickly sensed it and found that the mother bear's vitality was very weak and declining.

Fortunately, I have a breath.

Ao Hong! Ao Hong!
  When a little bear saw Li Hongbing, it was like seeing its father. It stumbled into his arms and screamed with panic and fear.

Why is there only one and there is another one!

There was a bad thought in my heart, but now it was urgent to save the mother bear.

Li Hongbing stepped forward and placed his palm on Mother Bear's back. The original power slowly came out and entered Mother Bear's body.

With the help of the power of the source, Mother Bear's declining vitality began to stabilize and then slowly improved. However, the rotten parts of the wound still need to be cleaned, otherwise the healing speed will be affected.

"Okay!" Li Hongbing breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the surrounding environment, and tried to think of a way to bring Mother Bear back to the old house to rest. His eyes fell on the broad back of the Bull Demon King.

"Bull Demon King, help carry Mother Bear back!"

Moo!
  The Bull Demon King shook his head and walked forward, squatted down next to the mother bear, and Li Hongbing carefully picked up the unconscious mother bear, put it on the cow's back, and warned.

"Go slowly, don't open the wound."

Back at the old house, all the animals crowded into the rice field.

Shan Xing saw Mother Bear with wounds all over the back of the Bull Demon King, and her eyes flashed with concern, "Brother, what's wrong with Mother Bear?"

Li Hongbing shook his head and handed the shivering bear cub to Shan Xing, "I don't know, I think I encountered a wild animal. There is only one bear cub left. I'll get a knife to treat the wound of the mother bear first. I'll know when it wakes up." ”

"Okay, I'll heat up the hot water, poor little guy." Shan Xing held the only remaining bear cub in distress. When he first came to the house, he took care of the three bear cubs by himself, but in the blink of an eye, one of them was gone. If he had known better, Why don't you let the mother bear go?

There was a set of surgical knives left in his grandfather's study. He brought the knives, bandages, and alcohol. Li Hongbing spread a quilt on the floor of the guest room and laid Mother Bear flat on the ground.

First, use a flat-edged knife to gently scrape off the hair near the wound. The wound is deeper than expected, and the wound is rotten, and there is suppuration under the wound. Fortunately, I ran to the meadow and met the big flowers. If it had been delayed for a few more days, I was afraid that Even the power of the original source cannot save it.
