Liu Limin stayed at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for almost a week with the teacher and then went back.
This time I went to Longdu City, but I gained a lot. I sold red Ganoderma lucidum for 999 yuan, plus 200 red envelopes, which added up to 1119 yuan.
You must know that in 1979, in the entire Dingxin Commune, there were only a handful of families who could spend one thousand yuan.
Liu Limin wondered whether he was now the richest man in Dingxin Commune? It was probably not close, but being the richest man in the production team would be no problem.
Next time I go to the mountains, if I'm lucky enough to find some good things, I can take them to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital and exchange them for a lot of money.
But now that winter is coming, it’s not that easy to go into the mountains. It’s very cold inside, and plants don’t grow much in winter.
Back at home, Liu Limin still didn't tell the story about becoming the richest man. If he did, he was afraid that it would be spread far away soon.
Brothers and sisters, most of them can't keep their mouths shut.
Life had to go on, so Liu Limin began to grow some Chinese medicinal materials in his own land, while continuing to work as a barefoot doctor, sometimes traveling long distances to treat villagers.
Although these incomes are very low, Liu Limin also truly feels the glory and pride of being a doctor.
The income in rural areas is low, so it is naturally impossible to charge high fees. Liu Limin also uses the lowest fee to treat the villagers as much as possible. Those who can use massage and acupuncture treatment will never prescribe medicine.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Day, 1980. The new year had begun, and the weather had reached its coldest time. Only with more than a thousand yuan in his pocket, Liu Limin had the ability to do this.
Families buy new clothes for winter.
While most of the villagers were still wearing worn-out cotton-padded jackets, Liu Limin's family all put on new cotton-padded jackets.
At this time, even captain Zhang Banchi said to Liu Limin enviously: "Xiao Liu, it seems that you are really rich. Isn't this new cotton-padded jacket warm?"
Liu Limin smiled and said: "Yes, it's quite warm. Captain, you should buy one too. It's a bit cold this winter!"
Zhang Banchi smiled bitterly and said: "I would like to, but I don't have any money in my pocket!"
Liu Limin smiled and said: "Captain, have you seen the herbs grown in my field? Nowadays, Chinese medicinal materials are very expensive, and they will become more and more valuable, so I have always had an idea, and now I think it is time to speak out.
, I hope that our production team, and even our entire Dingxin Commune, can vigorously develop the cultivation of Chinese medicinal materials. I have the technology, but it depends on whether everyone is willing. And there is no problem at all in terms of sales. Municipal Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital
The dean is my teacher, and he said, you need as much as you want!"
Zhang Banchi hesitated and said: "This, is this really possible? If we can't grow it or sell it, then not everyone can afford it. The current national policy is that when we grow grain, we must ensure that
Food security!”
Liu Limin smiled and said: "I didn't say that all our land is planted with Chinese medicinal materials. Even if you want to plant it, there are many lands that can't be planted. For example, paddy fields cannot be planted. There are also some medicinal materials. I like it.
It’s a gloomy place, so many bamboo forests and barren slopes can be used.”
Zhang Banchi said: "It makes sense, Xiao Liu. This matter must be reported to the superiors. I will find time to talk to the brigade!"
Liu Limin smiled and said: "Well, if you need me, just call me!"
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is getting closer, Liu Limin is planning to go to Longdu City again. Firstly, he will wish his teacher an early New Year greeting and send some local specialties. Secondly, he will also get the Chinese medicinal materials collected during these trips to the mountains.
Go to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital to sell it.
In addition, Liu Limin has another idea, which is to buy a car.
Of course, this car only has two wheels, and it is powered by green and pollution-free power. In the early 1980s, those who could afford a 28-inch bumper car were also rich people.
After having the 28 Dagong, you can ride it to diagnose diseases for the villagers. This is faster than walking, and the 28 Dagong can also pull goods and carry people.
A permanent brand 28-inch bumper was one of the three major items in the 1980s, just like motorcycles and cars later, but it was a rarity.
At this time, it costs about 200 yuan to buy a 28-meter-high bumper. Many people cannot spend that much money to buy a 28-meter bumper.
Liu Limin thought that after buying the 28 big bar, he could buy some new year goods and ride it back to Dingxin Town from Longdu City.
In fact, it is not very far from Longdu City to Dingxin Town, about 25 kilometers, but the road is not very good, so it takes a long time.
Liu Limin still remembers the first 28-pound truck he bought in his previous life. That was in 1990. That 28-pound truck could pull more than 200 kilograms of rice. Many people
It is used to pull the rice to the commune threshing house to thresh rice, and to thresh corn flour, wheat flour, etc., all with a big 28-inch bar.
A 28-year-old cart is like an old ox, working diligently to grind for its owner.
After preparing the Chinese medicinal materials and local specialties, Liu Limin hit the road. This time he got on the tractor and came all the way to the city.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the city has become lively, with lights and colorful decorations everywhere. When Liu Limin arrived at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, when he saw the teacher, he gave the teacher the local specialties he had brought and said at the same time: "Teacher,
This is something I grew at home. I don’t want to celebrate the New Year, but I hope you will accept it as a small kindness!”
Zhang Boxi said happily: "Xiao Liu, you are interested! The teacher accepted it without politeness. Let's see how many Chinese medicinal materials we brought this time!"
Liu Limin put down all the Chinese herbal medicines on his back. Seeing so many Chinese herbal medicines, which were wild and very effective, Zhang Baixi was very happy. He took Liu Limin to the Medicinal Materials Department and collected these Chinese herbal medicines.
Although the money was not much, just over fifty yuan, Liu Limin was still very happy.
After saying goodbye to the teacher, Liu Limin went straight to the department store, where there were 28 big sticks for sale.
When I came to the department store, I saw that the 28 big sticks sold here include permanent brand and white pigeon brand.
Liu Limin took a look and found that the White Pigeon model was still cheaper. You could buy one for only 200 yuan, while the Permanent model was still 20 yuan more expensive.
So Liu Limin spent 200 yuan and bought a brand new Baige bicycle.
This bicycle was really good. Liu Limin bought a lot of new year's goods at the department store, and then he started riding to Dingxin Commune with these new year's goods.
The scenery along the way is really beautiful. Riding on my beloved 28-inch Dabang is just like driving a small car decades later.
