"This is your medicinal field? Did you plant this herb?" Although Xiao Yuanbo has not been engaged in the cultivation of medicinal materials, when he was young, he used to go to the countryside to pick wild herbs in the mountains with herb collecting people from rural areas. However, no Chinese medicine doctor will go to the mountains to learn about these medicinal materials. They rigidly memorize the medicinal properties of medicinal materials and then use them in their own prescriptions. They have very little knowledge of medicinal materials themselves. Even if they encounter wild medicinal materials in the wild, few people can know them.

Chen Andong nodded, "I transplanted it from the mountains. But here, these medicinal materials grow better than in the mountains. The medicinal properties must be more than doubled."

"Don't brag." Xiao Yuanbo was obviously a little unbelievable.

"Whether brag or not, you can tell if you compare it on the spot. These ashscals were planted this year. Look, which one has better medicinal properties than wild ashtans?" Chen Andong said, pointing to the ashtans in front of him.

Xiao Yuanbo pulled one from the ground, twisted it with his fingers, and put it in front of his nose and smelled it. He found that as Chen Andong said, the fragrance of medicine was purer and richer, and it was indeed a rare good medicinal material.

"It's not bad. But Achyranthes is an annual medicinal material. It uses a large amount of Jiaotong. Is it cost-effective to use this method of cultivation?" Xiao Yuanbo asked.

"Teacher, for us Chinese medicine, what is the happiest thing about using the best medicinal materials? A good prescription may be because one of the most common medicinal materials has insufficient medicinal properties, which greatly reduces the effect of the entire prescription. Although Chinese medicinal materials are divided into monarchs and ministers, how can the medicinal materials be divided into high and low?" Chen Andong said.

"Well said it, but the teacher is so confused that he can't see this truth clearly." Xiao Yuanbo said frankly.

"It's not that the teacher is confused, but that the teacher is too concerned about students. Money is not brought in life or death. No matter how much money you earn, it will be a number in the end. I rely on my salary and it is enough for me to eat and use it. Why should I be too persistent in money?" Chen Andong said with a smile.

"Well, we are doctors, especially traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, should have such open-minded thoughts." Xiao Yuanbo searched everywhere, "Where is your tea tree planted? I am really looking forward to it. The tea you produce here will be blessed in the future."

"It's not here, on the top of the mountain, the tea tree was originally wild, but it was growing there, so I was too lazy to move." Chen Andong took Xiao Yuanbo to the top of the mountain.

Chen Andong also discovered those tea trees by chance. They are the local tea in Xingfu Village. The villagers call them cotton tea, and the average tea trees are a little different. The villagers don’t even have the simplest processing, and they pick the tea leaves and dry them, so they use them to make tea. But even so, this cotton tea is still sweet and delicious. Because this kind of tea is easy to obtain, the villagers don’t pay attention to it. Plant a tree in front of and behind the house for their own tea to drink at home. No one thought of using this kind of tea to sell it for money. So no one valued these wild tea trees on the mountain.

Chen Andong had drunk cotton tea from Xingfu Village and thought it tasted quite good. If he could process the tea with a better process, the taste would definitely not be worse than those teas. If these tea trees were planted in the medicinal fields they transformed, the quality of wild tea would be greatly improved. It is not surprising that the teas processed and produced in the future will be of higher quality than those famous teas.

"Teacher Xiao, these are the tea trees I mentioned." Chen Andong said, pointing to the cotton tea trees in front of him.

Xiao Yuanbo was stunned when he saw it: "Haha, Xiaodong, you won't admit it wrong, right? This is not a tea tree."

"Teacher Xiao. Actually, there are many kinds of tea trees. Many different trees, because their leaves can bring the same sweetness to people, as long as they have this attribute, they can become tea. For example, chrysanthemum tea, honeysuckle, etc. This kind of tree may not be tea in other places, but in Xingfu Village. People here have been drinking for hundreds of years. Do you always say that this is considered a tea tree?" Chen Andong explained.

"Think, of course. But you told me that in two years, you will give me tea better than my tea. Is the tea on this tree really OK?" Xiao Yuanbo was a little suspicious.

Chen Andong selected some tender buds from the tree and put them in a white plastic bag carrying a specimen with him. Then he said mysteriously: "I'll go back and test it for you later."

"Then I'll taste it later. See what the quality of the tea you Xiaodong recommends." Xiao Yuanbo smiled.

After looking around, Xiao Yuanbo expressed his opinion on Chen Andong's medicinal planting base: "Your place is good. There is no pollution source around, and the water source is very clean. If the environment here can be maintained in the future, your medicinal base has great potential. But your medicinal base is too high. Your method will definitely not solve the problems faced by traditional Chinese medicine in China. Therefore, you still have to find a way to reduce the cost of transforming the medicinal field. I don't know why your transformation cost is so high. In fact, you can consider using some cheap materials to replace those expensive materials. As for the effect, you can try it slowly. As long as the effect is improved to a certain extent, you can already meet the general needs. Healing you with high investments, you can plant valuable medicinal materials with relatively high value."

Xiao Yuanbo's suggestion simply pointed out a way for Chen Andong. Chen Andong suddenly realized that he was too strict in improving the quality of medicinal materials. Although this method can indeed greatly improve the quality of medicinal materials, for the public, this expensive medicinal material cannot be afforded by ordinary people? It is not that the medicinal properties of medicinal materials are not necessarily high, but they only require that these medicinal materials be of stable quality and safe. This is enough.

It turns out that I have been getting stuck in the brink. Chen Andong grabbed his head. Xiao Yuanbo’s idea can be tried. In this way, he can completely transform thousands of acres of medicinal fields in Xingfu Village and make use of all the wastelands and mountains in Xingfu Village. It can not only provide development opportunities for the people in Xingfu Village, but also quickly increase the important supply of medicinal materials bases.

"Teacher, there is an old man in the family, as if he is a treasure. This is true. Teacher, your opinion is too precious. It solves the problem that I have been worried about. Due to the large investment, my area of ​​medicine has not been increased. There are no more types of medicinal materials. There are many barren mountains and wastelands in Xingfu Village. If I can use them all, it will be good news for the people here." Chen Andong said happily.

Xingfu Village has few people and lots of wasteland. Of course, the truly arable fertile land is very limited. The per capita is less than one acre of paddy fields. However, there are many mountains and lots of wasteland. Now young people are out, and they don’t care about these good land, let alone wasteland. Last time, Chen Andong encircled so much wasteland, and gave a lot of annual rent. It’s much better than farming. Everyone wants to rent their own wasteland to Chen Andong. Unfortunately, Chen Andong’s medicinal fields are expanding too slowly, and he can’t encircle all the wastelands in the entire village. But now Chen Andong’s thinking changes, and this situation will be completely changed.

Xiao Yuanbo looked at Chen Andong's excited look and smiled. He saw from Chen Andong that he was young. At that time, he also treated everything as actively as Chen Andong, and worked hard to improve his medical skills. Once he gained something, he would smile like a child. The efforts at that time left the most precious wealth in life. Now that he is no longer young, he has to rely on these young people to create in the future. Some ideals he has not realized have to rely on these young people to achieve. Xiao Yuanbo was very moved.

When he returned to He Chuanliang's home, Chen Andong began to stir-fry tea. Chen Andong directly found a tutorial on DIY tea on Baidu, and then began to stir-fry. Although Chen Andong had never practiced it, Chen Andong was a master of making medicinal materials. Although this stir-frying tea was a little unfamiliar to Chen Andong, it had no awkwardness to operate. It was really the so-called "one-to-one" approach. Chen Andong completely regarded fried tea as a medicinal material.

A few hours later, there was a tea fragrance that could be used in the room.

"Well? The fragrance of this tea is really good. Xiaodong, your skills are pretty good!" Although Xiao Yuanbo has not tasted the smell of this freshly fried cotton tea, as a tea ceremony master, as long as he smells this smell, he has a certain degree of grasp of the taste of the tea.

"In fact, it's the main thing to do with this tea. I'm just using this tea as a medicinal material for tanning. It can be said that the frying tea leaves and the making of medicinal materials have some common ground." Chen Andong told the truth.

"Haha, you are quite honest. No wonder I said that your method of stir-frying tea looks familiar? It turns out that you used stir-frying tea as a medicinal material. But this method is good. When we traditional Chinese medicine prepare medicinal materials, we must maintain the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials to the greatest extent. Tea farmers stir-frying tea also needs to maintain the color, aroma and taste of the tea to the greatest extent. Different paths are the same." Xiao Yuanbo smiled.

Chen Andong went to burn a pot of mountain spring water.

Then he made a cup of tea for Xiao Yuanbo with the newly fried tea leaves: "Teacher. Originally, the tea that was brewed after a period of time was the best. However, now I can't wait, let the teacher evaluate it first."

Xiao Yuanbo smiled and said, "It's okay, you can pack the tea leaves for me first. I'll take them back and let them go for a while before tasting them."

"This is no problem. You should try it and see if this tea is still in line with your taste." Chen Andong said.

Xiao Yuanbo took a bite and savored it carefully: "No."

Chen Andong thought there was something wrong with the tea, so he stared at Xiao Yuanbo blankly.

Xiao Yuanbo deliberately teased Chen Andong this and smiled: "Your tea has a medicinal smell. But does it taste like this? It's pretty good. This spring water is also very suitable for making tea. It complements this tea."

Chen Andong thought there was really something wrong with this tea, but when he saw Xiao Yuanbo say this, he felt relieved.

"There is a lot of difference in cotton. If the quality is better, this is the best tea. I really didn't expect that a wild tea that can be seen everywhere in the mountain village would have such a good taste. However, you need to improve the stir-fry method appropriately. Maybe the flavor is better." Xiao Yuanbo smiled.

"Teacher, this cotton tea is just a by-product of my medicinal material base. My focus is on these medicinal materials. The reason why I grow my medicinal materials by myself is mainly because I have several ancient prescriptions, which have very high requirements for the quality of medicinal materials. After these medicinal materials meet the requirements, I will be able to make those ancient prescriptions." Chen Andong said.

"Very good, I'm waiting to see your ancient prescriptions and make medicine." Xiao Yuanbo smiled. Although he was very interested in Chen Andong's ancient prescription, he understood that an ancient prescription may mean infinite wealth. He had no purpose in accepting such an apprentice. He just wanted to cultivate a great doctor. He did not lack money to spend. At this young age, he had already looked down on everything. He could not let go of traditional Chinese medicine.

"I will work hard." Chen Andong said with a smile.

Xiao Yuanbo and Chen Andong stayed in Xingfu Village for a day. Chen Andong had completely forgotten his previous depression and felt much better. But he immediately had a class on Acupuncture and Moxibustion. Chen Andong and Xiao Yuanbo rushed back to Baisha overnight the next day.

The class on the second day was still arranged in the first lecture hall like the last class. All seat tickets had been issued long ago. Many students ran around to get a ticket to the lecture hall. Some students even asked the school to issue some station tickets appropriately. However, for the quality of the classroom teaching, the school still rejected such requirements, but broadcasted live on the school TV station. Students who did not get the tickets can go to other multimedia rooms to watch the live broadcast. The school arranged several lecture halls for live broadcast. Students can go in and watch it at will.

This time, the school did not arrange for the school’s academic committee to attend the class, but almost all the members of the academic committee came to the classroom. Even Hu Qian himself appeared in the front row of the classroom.

"How can you experts do this? I've heard it once, it's almost done. Why can't I get along with young teachers? Principal Hu, every time our college distributes tickets, it's under a lot of pressure. Do you think the academic committee members can free up these best positions?" Wang Yuzhang, the director of the Chinese Medicine Hospital, walked in and joked.

"Old Wang, these positions must be maintained for us for a long time. "Acupuncture" has now become a key course for the school, and the education reform of "Acupuncture" has become a key education reform topic for the school. In the future, it may become a key education reform topic for the country. The school level attaches great importance to it, so we, the members of the academic committee, naturally, must obey the school's arrangements. You Chinese Medicine Hospital should not hinder the development of the school." Zhang Quanshu immediately put a high hat on Wang Yuzhang.

"Committee Zhang, don't scare me. I can't stand the scare." Wang Yuzhang smiled. (To be continued.)
