One day later.
Fang Qiu returned to Jiangjing.
On the way back to school, Fang Qiu couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone and call the keeper of Yaowang Mountain.
"Hello?"
The call was quickly connected.
"Teacher Zhao."
Fang Qiu said respectfully, "I have something to talk to you about. Can we meet?"
Last time, when he went to the house of the keeper of Yaowang Mountain to treat his son and daughter-in-law, he learned that the surname of the keeper of Yaowang Mountain was Zhao Shanlin.
Since then, Fang Qiu and his three roommates had called the caretaker of Yaowang Mountain that way.
"Something important?"
When Zhao Shanlin heard this, he immediately said, "Okay, I have nothing to do now anyway. Tell me, where should we meet?"
"Yaowang Mountain it is."
Said Fang Qiu.
"Okay, I'll go to school now."
…
Back at school.
Fang Qiu first sent the backpack containing the Fairy Desert Cistanche back to the dormitory and then rushed to Yaowang Mountain with a paper bag in his hand.
This paper bag was bought in Korla to contain the two Desert Cistanche.
After all, it was too eye-catching to carry a stalk in each hand.
They arrived at Yaowang Mountain.
It was the place where Mr. Zhao Shanlin used to work.
Not long after.
Mr. Zhao Shanlin was also here.
Along the way, his gaze fell on the medicinal herbs on both sides of the path. When he arrived at the edge of the herb field and saw the weeds, he immediately and carefully cleaned them without any hesitation. His expression was focused, and he wore a smile on his face.
Seeing this.
Fang Qiu smiled and immediately went up to greet him, shouting, "Mr. Zhao, you're here?"
"Yes."
Zhao Shanlin nodded, but his eyes were still deeply attracted by the herbs in the medicine field. It was not until the weeds were completely cleared and the soil was slightly loosened that he raised his head, looked at Fang Qiu, and asked with a smile, "What's so important that you called me here in a hurry?"
"Teacher Zhao, look at this."
Fang Qiu raised the paper bag and handed it to Zhao Shanlin.
"What is it?"
Mr. Zhao took the paper bag and looked into it. Then, he was slightly stunned and said, "Isn't this Desert Cistanche? It looks like it's still alive, and its roots are still stained with mud. It must have been dug out not long ago, right? "
"Yes."
Fang Qiu nodded immediately.
"You just let me see the Desert Cistanche?"
Zhao Shanlin looked at Fang Qiu in confusion.
"Teacher Zhao, I've found the ancient recipe!"
Fang Qiu said.
"Hmm?"
Zhao Shanlin was stunned at first, but then he was immediately surprised and asked, "Did you really find it?"
"Found it."
Fang Qiu nodded with certainty.
"Desert Cistanche is in the prescription?"
Zhao Shanlin somewhat understood why Fang Qiu came to him with two Desert Cistanche.
"That's right."
Fang Qiu immediately nodded and said, "The medicinal properties of Desert Cistanche are not ordinary. If we use it as a competitive product and combine it with the ancient prescription, we may be able to become famous overnight and set up a benchmark in the Chinese Medicine world."
"Yes."
Zhao Shanlin nodded and said, "Indeed, this Desert Cistanche is a good medicine."
"Teacher Zhao."
"The reason why I'm in a hurry to find you is that the biggest problem now is that I need medicine to cultivate the Desert Cistanche successfully!"
"Do you think we can cultivate Desert Cistanche on Yaowang Mountain?"
Fang Qiu asked expectantly.
"Sigh."
Mr. Zhao sighed and said, "Even if you bring the Desert Cistanche to Yaowang Mountain, it's useless. We're in the south. There's no way to grow Desert Cistanche in the south."
"Why?"
Fang Qiu was confused.
"First of all, the temperature difference in the south is relatively small. Desert Cistanche likes to grow on soft sand with light salinity. It usually grows on sand or semi-fixed dunes, dry old riverbeds, lake basins, lowlands, etc. Its living environment is very poor. There's no suitable environment for it to survive in the south at all."
"The most suitable place for Desert Cistanche to grow is a place with dry climate, low rainfall, high evaporation, long sunshine hours, and large temperature difference between day and night."
"Second, the soil for growing Desert Cistanche must be grayish-brown desert soil or brown desert soil. The soil quality in the south is not right."
"Third, the host of Desert Cistanche, the haloxylon ammondendron, is a strong plant. Desert Cistanche usually parasitizes on its lateral roots that are 30-100 centimeters deep. There are no haloxylon ammondendron in the south for it to parasitize."
"In other words, if you want to cultivate Desert Cistanche, you must first cultivate haloxylon ammondendron, but the south can't grow haloxylon ammondendron at all. Without a host, Desert Cistanche naturally can't be cultivated."
Hearing that.
Fang Qiu was stunned.
He really didn't know the conditions for cultivating Desert Cistanche, such as soil quality, climate, and so on. He knew more about its medicinal properties. He had never thought that cultivating Desert Cistanche would be so difficult.
After hearing Mr. Zhao's words, Fang Qiu smiled awkwardly.
Thinking about it carefully.
It was precisely because Desert Cistanche grew in a place like Beijiang that it had its unique medicinal properties. In the Chinese medicine world, it was often mentioned as a kind of natural medicinal material, which referred to a kind of wild medicinal material in the most suitable place to grow.
Only the medicinal properties of this kind of medicinal material were the best.
If he really changed the place, it definitely wouldn't work!
Fang Qiu was very embarrassed.
He had won the championship of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor, but he had forgotten about this matter. If this matter was spread out, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
"Then, what should I do if I want to plant it in large quantities?"
Fang Qiu asked.
"This …"
Zhao Shanlin pondered for a moment and then said, "If you want to plant it on a large scale, you must do it in Beijiang. After all, what you want to do is to make a competitive product and set a benchmark in the Chinese medicine world, so you must use natural medicinal materials. So it's better to plant it in Beijiang. But if you want to grow seedlings, you should find a place in Jiangjing to try. But the conditions for cultivation are very strict. You have to be mentally prepared. It will cost you a lot of money!"
"How about this, Mr. Zhao."
Fang Qiu thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you 10 million yuan. I'll leave the cultivation of Desert Cistanche to you."
"What?"
Zhao Shanlin was shocked.
In his opinion, Fang Qiu was just an ordinary college student.
How could a student have so much money?
So be it!
How could he take it out without hesitation? For something that he didn't even know whether it would succeed or not, wouldn't the price of 10 million yuan be too high?
However.
When he saw the determination in Fang Qiu's eyes, he knew that Fang Qiu didn't think about the price at all. He just wanted to do it!
He was indeed a Chinese Medicine man!
Zhao Shanlin couldn't help sighing with emotion.
For the sake of Chinese Medicine, he would do anything. This was a real Chinese Medicine man!
"Okay!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Shanlin immediately nodded and said, "Since you can do so much for Chinese Medicine, how can I, an old guy, stay idle? Leave this to me. I'll quit my job later and concentrate on this for you!"
"Thank you."
Fang Qiu immediately thanked him. Then, he took out a bank card from his trouser pocket and handed it over. At the same time, he said, "There is one million yuan in this card. It's your reward and the settlement fee."
Hearing that.
Zhao Shanlin was stunned.
He quickly reached out his hand to refuse and said, "That's fine. I promised to help. I can't take the money!"
"You have to take the money."
Fang Qiu handed the bank card to Zhao Shanlin again and said with a serious face, "Friendship is friendship, but the matter is strength. I want to open a company. If you help me cultivate medicine, I'll ask you to work for me. So, you have to take the money no matter what."
Fang Qiu knew.
Although Zhao Shanlin had bought a house for his son, he still had to pay the mortgage. Once he really resigned, his life would definitely be very difficult, so Fang Qiu had to give him the money.
"No, I really can't take the money."
Zhao Shanlin smiled bitterly and said, "You helped me treat my daughter-in-law before. Now I'm helping you cultivate Chinese medicine. How can I take your money?"
"Mr. Zhao, this is work."
Fang Qiu continued to persuade him, "Take this one million yuan as your salary. Where can I find a good teacher like you to help me with this one million yuan? If you don't take the money, I don't dare to let you cultivate the Desert Cistanche."
"You, this …"
Zhao Shanlin hesitated.
He really wanted to do this.
Because he liked Chinese Medicine and hoped that Chinese Medicine could make a name for itself. What's more, he was the one who brought up this idea to Fang Qiu. Doing this could be regarded as fulfilling his wish.
"Well … Okay."
After hesitating for a long time, Zhao Shanlin took the bank card from Fang Qiu and then said to Fang Qiu with a solemn face, "Don't worry. Even if I have to risk my life, I will cultivate the Desert Cistanche for you!"
"I don't want you to risk your life."
Fang Qiu shook his head with a smile and said, "I believe you, but you need to find some help."
The administrator was stunned.
Then, his eyes lit up and he laughed.
One day later.
Zhu Benzheng, Zhou Xiaotian, and Sun Hao met unwillingly at the gate of the school.
It was just the beginning of the holiday. The three of them had only stayed at home for a few days before they were called back by Fang Qiu.
The three of them met.
They looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They were all very depressed.
"I say, what's the matter with the youngest? Why did he ask us to come back in such a hurry?"
Sun Hao asked.
"I don't know."
Zhou Xiaotian shook his head.
"I don't know either."
Zhu Benzheng also shook his head and said, "On the phone, the youngest refused to tell us. He kept saying that it was a very important matter."
"Me too."
Zhou Xiaotian curled his lips and said.
"Me too."
Sun Hao smiled bitterly and glanced at the empty campus. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "Since we're here, let's go and ask. Anyway, the youngest is waiting for us in the dormitory. I'd like to see what the important matter is. If he dares to lie to us … Hmph!"
While they were talking.
The three of them walked toward the dormitory building.
However, they found that Fang Qiu was not in the dormitory.
After making the phone call, the three of them rushed to Yaowang Mountain together and finally met Fang Qiu and Zhao Shanlin on Yaowang Mountain.
"The youngest, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Seeing Fang Qiu, Sun Hao directly walked forward, patted Fang Qiu on the shoulder, and said, "I'm telling you, if you don't give us a perfect explanation, we can't let this matter go."
"I found the ancient prescription."
Fang Qiu said directly.
"Oh."
The three of them nodded with understanding.
