It's not that he doesn't want to continue to have a relationship with Luo Qian, but he just received a call from Wang Yutong.
Wang Yutong said that the medicinal materials sent by Ye Ming were almost used up and asked him to get some quickly and she would drive to collect them tomorrow morning.
Now Ye Ming has no medicinal materials in his hand, and it is too late to go up the mountain to collect them. What's more, it is late at night and there are wild beasts in the mountains. Even if he has the Art of Life by his side, Ye Ming does not dare to take risks alone.
Fortunately, his father had saved some medicinal seeds. Ye Ming dug them out and sowed them in an open space in the courtyard. Then he diluted the condensed green liquid in the jade gourd with water and irrigated them.
Soon, sprouts sprouted from the small vegetable garden. At this rate, enough medicinal materials will be harvested early tomorrow morning.
It was late at night, Ye Ming stretched, washed up and then returned to the room to meditate.
There was nothing to say all night, and Ye Ming got up early before the sun rose the next day.
The vegetable patch in the yard is lush and green, and each herb plant is growing happily. Each plant is more than ten years old.
Ye Ming nodded with satisfaction, then picked up the medicine hoe and started to dig out the herbs. He had to dig out all the herbs before his father woke up, otherwise he would be shocked if he was seen.
"Is Ye Ming at home?"
Just after breakfast, a pleasant female voice came from outside the courtyard door.
"at home!"
Ye Ming walked out of the room and found that it was Luo Qian.
Today's outfit seems to have been specially dressed up. Under the light gray sun protection clothing is a sports vest, navy blue yoga pants, and a pair of height-increasing sneakers. She is already taller and slimmer.
"Is something wrong?" Ye Ming was attracted by her beauty and asked after being slightly startled.
Seeing Ye Ming's reaction, Luo Qian raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and then said: "My dad asked you to come over, saying that you are contracting Cuiwei Mountain!"
Ye Ming raised his sword eyebrows and said hurriedly: "I know, I'll go over right now!"
Luo Qian did not leave, but waited for Ye Ming to finish packing her things, and they walked side by side to Luo Youfu's house.
"Am I beautiful today?"
Rosie's foot has fully recovered and she is jumping around Ye Ming like a cute little swallow.
"pretty!"
Ye Ming replied dully, his mind was on the matter of contracting Cuiwei Mountain.
"It's all about being beautiful? You don't even know how to praise me, straight man! Humph, let's break up!"
Ye Ming was speechless for a while. The two of them had been boyfriend and girlfriend for less than twelve hours, and they broke up twice. This little girl is really a monster!
Seeing that Ye Ming didn't speak, Luo Qian became even more angry.
"You're such an idiot, you don't know how to coax others!"
Ye Ming sighed secretly. Since he agreed to be his boyfriend last night, he should fulfill his responsibilities as a boyfriend.
"Sissi, don't be angry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have dealt with you!"
Rosie's expression softened, but she still pouted and looked away.
"I'm very angry now, the kind that I can't coax!"
Ye Ming immediately raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Good Sissy, what do you think I can do to not get angry?"
Rosie rolled her eyes, pouted and said, "Then you go to the county town with me in the afternoon and go shopping with me so I won't be angry!"
"Why are you angry? Sissi, did you bully Xiao Ming?"
Ye Ming and Luo Qian had arrived at the door of Luo Youfu's house, and happened to meet Xu Xiuqin going out.
Rosie immediately stuck out her tongue: "Mom, I didn't bully Ye Ming!"
"You are so stubborn. I heard you just now. I can tell you that Xiao Ming cured your father's illness and is considered a noble person in our family. If you dare to bully him, I will cut off your living expenses!"
Xu Xiuqin pretended to be angry and poked Rosie's forehead with her white fingers.
"Mom, I am your biological daughter, why do you act like he is your biological son? To outsiders, I ignore you!"
After saying this, Rosie ran into the courtyard angrily, and Xu Xiuqin's scolding could be heard behind her.
"You stinky girl, you're actually playing tricks on me. If you're so careful, I'll beat you up!"
After speaking, Xu Xiuqin looked at Ye Ming, her sharp expression instantly amiable.
"Sissi is spoiled by me, Xiao Ming, don't worry!"
"It's okay, Auntie, we grew up together and have long been used to it!"
Ye Ming immediately turned into a good boy and said very generously.
Xu Xiuqin smiled and nodded: "Come in quickly, your uncle is waiting for you in the west room!"
"Okay, Auntie, I'll go in first!"
Ye Ming stepped into the yard. Xu Xiuqin behind him looked at his back with an aunt's smile on his face, thinking what a good child he is, good at medicine and polite. How great it would be if I had such a son!
"Dang Dang!"
Ye Ming knocked on the door of the west room, and Luo Youfu's voice came from inside.
"Xiao Ming? Come in!"
Ye Ming pushed the door open and saw Luo Youfu wearing myopia glasses and looking through a pile of documents in his hand.
"sit down!"
Luo Youfu asked Ye Ming to sit down, and then handed over the document in his hand.
"According to the previous agreement, I have printed out the contract for contracting Cuiweishan. All you need to do is sign it and then transfer the contracting fee into the account of our village committee!"
Ye Ming flipped through the contract, confirmed the contents, then picked up a pen and wrote his name on it with flying colors.
"Thank you, Uncle Youfu!"
Luo Youfu waved his hand: "Xiahewan belongs to our generation, your generation, and ultimately your generation. Young people want to develop, and we as elders should do our best to support it, but I
As I get older, I probably won’t be able to help much in the future!”
Ye Ming sneered in his heart, Luo Youfu was telling the truth, retreating in order to advance. On the surface, he said that he would not care about anything in the future, but in fact, he was seeking benefits.
"Uncle Luo, you can't ignore it!"
Ye Ming said seriously: "Although I contract Cuiwei Mountain to grow medicinal materials, I really don't know how to grow medicines. You will need your help to take care of these things in the future. I have already thought about it. After I establish the medicinal material planting cooperative, I will hire you to do it."
Instructor, you are responsible for cultivating and planting medicinal materials, but I can’t give you much salary, it’s only five thousand yuan a month!”
Luo Youfu's originally narrowed eyes immediately widened.
Five thousand yuan a month! This is not a small amount of money.
"Haha... eldest nephew, I have long since realized that you are no longer a fool. When I contracted Cuiweishan, I strongly supported it. How did it turn out? You did not disappoint me!"
Luo Youfu poured Ye Ming a glass of water, then took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer and handed one over.
Ye Ming waved his hand.
"Don't worry, eldest nephew. Your uncle and I don't know anything else, but when it comes to growing medicinal materials, I say second, and no one dares to count first. You leave this matter to me, and I will guarantee that I will raise more medicinal materials for you.
Tall and strong!”
Watching Luo Youfu talk eloquently and being called Xiao Ming into nephew, I couldn't help but sigh at the power of money.
"Uncle Fu, I have transferred the money to the village committee's account. There are many follow-up matters, so I won't delay!"
Luo Youfu immediately stood up from his chair: "Eldest nephew, go and do your work. If you have anything to do, come to me. If anyone interferes, I will be the first to refuse!"
After leaving Luo Youfu's home, Ye Ming thought about it while walking back.
Now that Cuiwei Mountain has been obtained, the next step is to cultivate and plant medicinal herbs.
These are all inseparable from labor, and Ye Ming needs to recruit a group of growers.
There are more than 300 households in Xiahewan, and most of them have planting experience. You can recruit them directly in the village.
"Xiao Ming, where are you going?"
A woman's voice came to his ears. Ye Ming raised his head and found himself at the door of Liu Qing's house.
An idea flashed in Ye Ming's mind, and he smiled and said: "Sister Qing, I'm here to find you!"
Liu Qing suddenly laughed: "Good brother, do you miss your sister? My sister misses you too, come in quickly!"
Liu Qing immediately stepped forward and grabbed Ye Ming, trying to drag him into the house.
Ye Ming's face was full of black lines, thinking, is that why I came to you?
"Sister Qing, listen to me first!"
Ye Ming broke away from Liu Qing and said seriously: "I have contracted Cuiwei Mountain now, but I am unable to do anything. Can you help me?"
Liu Qing frowned slightly: "I don't know how to plant, how can I help you?"
Ye Ming smiled and said: "You don't need to know how to plant, just help me recruit people to plant."
Ye Ming said his thoughts again, and Liu Qing shook her head after listening.
"You want me to manage the growers? That's impossible. Besides, I still have a canteen to manage. If something goes wrong, I'll still feel bad if you don't blame me. You'd better find someone else!"
Seeing Liu Qing's refusal, Ye Ming immediately became frustrated.
"Sister Qing didn't help me, and I guess no one else was willing to help me either. I didn't expect that hundreds of thousands of dollars were wasted, and it was a bad start!"
Seeing Ye Ming's dejected look, Liu Qing suddenly felt heartbroken.
"It's not that my sister doesn't help you, it's that she doesn't have the ability!"
"Then Sister Qing is actually willing to help me?" Ye Ming immediately smiled and said: "Some things are not born, everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as Sister Qing is willing to help me!"
Liu Qing was in a dilemma. She really wanted to help Ye Ming, but she was afraid that she couldn't do it well.
"Sister Qing, please help me!"
Liu Qing was still hesitant, but Ye Ming immediately used his trump card, shaking her arms and acting coquettishly.
"Okay! Sister, I promise you!"
Liu Qing gritted her teeth. Since she liked Ye Ming, she had to support him with all her strength, even if she was willing to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire.
"Sister Qing, now go to the village committee office and make a announcement on the loudspeaker, saying that we are recruiting herbal planting workers. Anyone who wants to be a contractor should register. Remember, it is a contract, not a worker!"
The reason why Ye Ming emphasizes this point is that there is a huge difference between contracting and working as a worker.
As a worker, you will not work hard and you will only receive a fixed salary every month. After contracting, your efforts and income will be linked.
If you want to make more money, you must carefully manage the herbs you contract. If you are lazy, you will make less money, or even no money at all.
Separating from Liu Qing, Ye Ming considered the issue of seeds while walking.
Most of the villagers have their own herbal seeds, but the good and bad vary, and the quality of the medicinal materials grown is also greatly reduced.
Seedlings are the key, and this cannot be done carelessly.
Just as he was thinking about where to get the seeds, there was the roar of an engine in the distance, and a white Land Rover rolled up a cloud of dust and drove towards him. This chapter has been completed!
