Chapter 70. Two Old Men
Those who grow seedlings have to build greenhouses in order to ship them all year round.

Because now not only large farms but even ordinary farmers living on the outskirts of cities are growing vegetables in greenhouses and need seedlings all year round.

The greenhouse in Mr. Liu’s house can be called a museum.

Some use bamboo frame structures, some use steel columns and bamboo poles as the roof structure, and some use all-steel frames. There is also a 12-meter-high all-glass multi-story building, which is planted with flowers.

At first glance, it's clear that these belongings were accumulated slowly.

The things I make are varied, including vegetable seedlings, flower seedlings, finished flowers, landscape trees and succulents.

It just so happened that Luo Yihang's new vegetable farm had no plans for unified planting. He wanted a wide variety of products. However, his capital was insufficient, his market channels were imperfect, and he could not ship large quantities of single products, so he had to have more varieties to match them.

Coupled with the 20-year reputation guarantee, the quality is certainly impeccable. Old Man Liu is also generous in his business. He only does business with people he knows and quotes real prices.

It can be said that they hit it off immediately.

Luo Yihang and Qiang Wa naturally didn't show any courtesy and swept through the area like bandits passing through a border.

Even half an acre of other people’s chive roots were dug up.

Mr. Liu accompanied us the whole time, introducing things along the way, and his face was full of joy.

He just likes "bandits".

Luo Yihang and his group looked back and forth, taking whatever they saw, until they reached the last few sheds, when they suddenly found some strange things.

"Master, what is this?"

"Here are the medicinal herbs. These saplings are Eucommia ulmoides, this is Sedum truncatum, this is Astragalus membranaceus, and there are Atractylodes macrocephala, Angelica dahurica..." Mr. Liu introduced them one by one, and finally pointed outside, "There are other herbs in the sheds at the back, want them? Medicinal herbs can make money now."

Of course, medicinal herbs can make money, Luo Yihang knows this well.

The biggest sum of money he made came from selling medicinal herbs.

I was so busy that I forgot about the herbs. I must have been eating vegetables these days and neglected them.

So, should we plant or not? How should we plant? What kind of plants should we plant?

You'd have to ask a professional about this.

"Hello, Mr. Yan, how are you recently? How are those Poria cocos? They are selling well, right? I want to ask you something." Luo Yihang started out politely and tried to get close to him.

"Brother Luo...what's up?" Old Master Yan was quite happy when he received the call, but when he heard Luo Yihang's polite words, his tone immediately changed, and he became more persuasive, "Brother, we have signed a contract, and the price I offer is not low, let's do a market transaction. Did you hear any rumors? Don't believe rumors these days, they are too exaggerated."

Luo Yihang: “…”

I've even called you my younger brother, but this isn't the right generation.

It seems that I have found out some extraordinary things.

Luo Yihang's eyes rolled, and a thought came to his mind...

Stop, stop, don’t let it come out.

There is a saying that is true, for those who have signed the contract, it is their own decision how much they sell the product for, don't be jealous, not at all.

Let’s get down to business.

"Uncle Yan, I'm looking at medicinal seedlings in the nursery. I just wanted to ask you, what else can I plant next to the Poria cocos I'm planting? I have a ginkgo forest below me, and I also want to ask what can be planted there?" Luo Yihang was worried that Grandpa Yan would overthink it, so he simply skipped over the rumors and spoke faster to get to the point.

The old man was obviously relieved and became very enthusiastic, "You can plant Panax notoginseng in the area with the Polyporus umbellatus. The environment is just right."

"Sanqi?" Luo Yihang was puzzled when he heard the name. "Isn't Sanqi from Yun Province? Can we grow it here? Even if we grow it, it won't be considered a local medicinal herb, right?"

In order to sell medicinal herbs, Luo Yihang had done his homework before. The medicinal herbs that matter are authentic, that is, the best ones are from their place of origin.

For example, wolfberry from Ningxia, Fritillaria from western Sichuan, camphor from Guangdong and Guangxi, and the local Han Bawei.

The same medicinal material is no longer considered authentic if it is separated from its place of origin, and its quality will be lower.

However, Panax notoginseng is a genuine medicinal material in Yunnan Province.

Luo Yihang expressed his doubts as soon as he spoke them out.

Old Master Yan explained immediately that he had no intention of being a teacher or teaching tirelessly.

I was afraid that he would ask a counter-question, lead me to the rumor. "I'm talking about the feather-leaf Panax notoginseng, also known as Qinling Panax notoginseng, which is different from the one in Yunnan Province. The feather-leaf Panax notoginseng was only discovered in the Qinling Mountains a few decades ago. It grows high, with an altitude range of 1000 to 2700 meters. Your altitude of 1200 meters is just right."

I see. It's because I haven't done enough homework and I don't understand the details.

"There are many intercroppings in the ginkgo forest. Why don't you choose Angelica dahurica? It can be used in large quantities and is easy to manage. If you buy larger seedlings, you can harvest them in the same year."

"When I come to your place in the fall to see the ginkgo leaves, they can be harvested together at the same time."

This old man is a cunning guy.

Welcome to chicken thieves.

Luo Yihang listened to the advice.

After asking how much to intercrop and how to plant it, he hung up the phone.

Go back to the nursery and ask.

We have both Panax notoginseng and Angelica dahurica here.

There is no need to consider whether Angelica dahurica, a popular and general-purpose medicinal ingredient that has already entered the kitchen market, is authentic or not. In other words, it can be considered authentic in most parts of the country.

When cultivating Panax notoginseng, there are about 26,000 plants per acre, and the density in the forest cannot be that high. Mr. Yan recommends planting it at one-tenth of the density in the field.

Luo Yihang calculated that the area of ​​the mixed forest where Poria cocos was planted on the mountain where the spirit gathering array was laid out was more than 3600 to nearly 1800 square meters, so he ordered Panax notoginseng plants. Excluding those that were taken away by birds and destroyed by wild beasts, if he was lucky, there would be plants left after three years.

There is not enough Angelica dahurica, so if we want to interplant large seedlings in that forest, 3200 plants will be enough.

Luo Yihang selected the seedlings of Panax notoginseng and planned to plant them in the Polyporus umbellatus forest for three years until they were fully grown. They are very cheap, only 4 cents per plant.

Angelica dahurica is an annual plant. In order to match the time of harvesting ginkgo leaves in autumn, I bought large seedlings, which cost 8 cents each.

So I spent another seven thousand yuan.

Money is spent like water.

Luo Yihang and Qiang Wa went out for a walk.

The pepper seedlings cost 48,000 yuan, the vegetable seedlings cost 29,000 yuan, and the medicinal materials cost about 7,000 yuan. Another 84,000 yuan was spent.

That’s a lot of money. It would take more than half a month to sell vegetables.

...It doesn’t seem like much.

After ordering the vegetable seedlings, I also ordered a batch of medicinal herb seedlings.

Another big issue solved.

I went home, washed up and had dinner.

As usual, Qiangwa wants to get a free meal.

The food is on the table and the wine is poured. I'm happy today, so I have to drink two glasses.

He held the bowl and chatted a lot to fill his stomach, then drank two glasses of wine.

Luo Yihang talked about what he and Qiangwa had done in the past two days.

The elderly couple Luo Cheng and Zhang Guiqin were both shocked. These two kids did such a big thing without making any noise.

It’s hundreds of thousands of dollars, just spend it.

However, the money was not spent indiscriminately. According to what the kid just said, it was spent where it should be spent. What is this called? Investment.

Think about the high-priced vegetables sold every day, several thousand a day, several thousand a day, and you can make more than ten thousand in two days.

Fully explained.

Should!
The vote.

　Wow, it’s recommended again
