Chapter 388 What Xu Yu wants, the military gives
Xu Jianjun didn't come back until after eight o'clock in the evening.
After he finished his meal, everyone sat together and talked about getting him to come back.
Xu Yu helped him make a decision: "Why don't you find someone you trust to drive for you for a few months first? Then you can choose whichever one you think is better. This way there won't be any delay."
Jiang Yi also said: "I can help you find someone to drive the car first."
Xu Yu: "You are like my second brother. We will lend you the car. When you are able to buy a car, you can return it to us."
Since his brother-in-law and sister said so, Xu Jianjun did not hesitate any longer.
After he returned and arranged the work of the bus driver, he helped Xu Yu deliver the goods. Xu Yu paid him according to the length of time it took to deliver the goods.
In addition to delivering goods, Xu Jianjun also followed Zhao Cui'e to the city where Zhao Cui'e had previously studied to visit the market.
The couple not only went to the market, but also helped Xu Yu purchase some medicinal materials at low prices on the way.
Xu Yu then gave them the money according to the price that had been agreed upon long ago.
After the amount of beauty products from Haicheng reached a certain level, Xu Yu and Liu Fengjuan discussed it and started transporting them to various cities in truckloads.
Then, the advertisement of Poppy was broadcast during the prime time of CCTV.
As soon as the advertisement was broadcast, she and Ren Liping became instantly famous.
Of course, their beauty products were sold out very quickly and could only be pre-ordered.
Liu Fengjuan called, her voice excited: "Xiaoyu, our beauty products are sold out! Did you know?"
Xu Yu must have known that during this period, his sister-in-law and Lan Ge called once a day to announce the good news.
So she smiled and said, "I know."
Liu Fengjuan: "Fortunately, I followed your advice and purchased more machines in the past two months. The machines will arrive in a few days, and I will increase production here."
Xu Yu: "Okay."
Liu Fengjuan: "I need a lot of medicinal herbs here. Do you have any?"
Even if Xu Yu had some, she had no intention of providing it to Haicheng. Furthermore, the beauty drugs in their province were still produced here, so she suggested, "Send someone to those provinces that produce a lot of medicinal materials to buy them. The medicinal materials we need for our beauty products are not scarce and are easy to procure."
Liu Fengjuan: "Okay."
The two talked for a while before hanging up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yu turned to Jiang Yi and said, "Brother Yi, we can buy the medicinal herbs that we asked the villagers to grow before."
As someone who fully supports his wife's work, Jiang Yi has strong execution ability.
That day he went to see all the village heads in the surrounding villages.
The village heads conveyed this matter during the morning broadcast the next day.
"Fellow villagers, comrades, the Jiang Yi family in Shangping Village is buying up all the medicinal herbs you've grown. They'll buy as many as they can, based on the year and quality. Those of you who grow medicinal herbs at home can go to the bulletin board in the village's large drying yard to see the quality descriptions and corresponding prices."
As soon as the announcement came out, everyone lost interest in working and gathered at the bulletin board in the village's large drying yard to look at the quality and price list posted there.
Most people in the village are illiterate, so the village chief of each village asked someone who can read to stand there and hold a loudspeaker to help everyone read.
Moreover, Xu Yu and his team stipulated which villages would sell herbs on which days, thus avoiding the situation where all the villages within a dozen miles would flock to sell herbs on the same day.
After hearing this, some were happy and some were sad.
"That's great. We cleared a large piece of land back then to grow the herbs the Jiang family wanted. Now we can definitely sell them for a lot of money."
"Oh! I thought the Jiang family was just joking, and I didn't take those medicinal herbs seriously. But then it seemed like a lot of them died."
"Me too. I see it's been over a year and they still haven't come to harvest. So in the spring I used the cleared land to plant crops."
The village did not harvest the reclaimed land, so some people used it to grow crops.
They thought that although the grain production in those fields was not high, it was better than nothing, so they dug up the herbs.
Xu Yu didn't care about the situation of each family. After they released the news, they set up a purchasing point directly in the factory yard, and all the educated youth and male comrades who worked at Xu Yu's house came out.
The Xu family also came to help.
The doctors helped check the quality, while others weighed, recorded numbers, and did the accounting.
Xu Yu, Xiao Tang and Zhao Cui'e were responsible for paying the money.
Jiang Yi, along with Dingdang and the village chiefs, was responsible for maintaining order.
As long as Jiang Yi and Dingdang stood there, and since each village chief had a certain authority, no one dared to cut in line or act arrogantly.
Those who planted more herbs had smiles on their faces.
The happiest people were the people from Shangping Village and Hongxing Village, as they planted the most under the leadership of the village chief.
Those who used the reclaimed land to plant other things prematurely will regret it to death.
Everyone made a unanimous decision to grow herbs when they returned, so next, not only the villages within a few miles, but also some other nearby villages and towns began to open up wasteland in the mountains and grow herbs.
Seeing so many herbs piled up in the factory and the warehouse not being big enough, and Jiang Yi's enthusiasm for expanding it overnight, Doctor Hu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Not bad, not bad. So many herbs, enough for Xiaoyu to use for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Huang said, "These herbs belong to Xiaoyu herself. She can arrange them however she wants. Don't be so shameless as to ask her to increase the dosage at your military hospital."
Doctor Hu paused, then said to Doctor Huang, "Old Huang, what you said is harsh. How can our hospital be shameless?"
"Don't you know how shameless you are?" Dr. Huang glanced at him and walked away.
Dr. Hu couldn't find any strong words to refute for a moment.
He found Xu Yu and said to her, "Old Huang is really something. The military hospital is not free. His tone makes us all look like villains."
Xu Yu did not admit whether they were evil or not, and only said: "I prepared these herbs for Brother Yi."
Dr. Hu asked her, "What if Chiang Kai-shek didn't go to the battlefield?"
Xu Yu thought about it. She knew that there would be several fierce battles on the border in the next few years. Regardless of whether Brother Yi would go to the battlefield, she would use these medicines when they were most needed. So she said to Dr. Huang, "If Brother Yi doesn't go to the battlefield, the medicines I have stored will be used by those heroes who go to the battlefield."
Doctor Hu couldn't help but give Xu Yu a thumbs up: "Xiao Yu'er, you are like this."
Xu Yu just smiled.
Even if Dr. Hu didn't say it, the higher-ups would soon find out that Xu Yu had collected a lot of medicinal herbs.
Xu Yu and Jiang Yi both received calls soon.
When the other party wanted more medicine, Jiang Yi simply said, "My wife has her own plans. I'll give her whatever she says."
Xu Yu also said: "I have arrangements. For the time being, I will give it as we agreed before."
The other party would definitely not force her, and asked her what she needed so they could help her solve it.
Xu Yu thought about it and said, "It would be best if there was a glass factory nearby. I need bottles for medicine."
Unexpectedly, not long after, news came from the town that a glass factory was going to open.
The whole town was in an uproar.
After all, who would be willing to open a factory in a remote mountain town like theirs? They didn't expect that a glass factory would come here.
Only a small number of people know that this glass factory was opened for Xu Yu and his factory.
As August approaches, the temperature becomes even hotter.
The rain also started to increase.
After several long rainstorms, Xu Yu had to ask Jiang Yi to lead people to make a lot of racks and drying trays to prevent the medicinal herbs from getting damp. All the medicinal herbs were spread out in the drying trays and placed on the racks.
The two babies grew a little bit bigger, and Jiang Yi and his colleagues spread out the medicinal materials in the warehouse, and they also knew to help.
Jiang Qingyun specially wove small winnowing baskets for the two little ones. Someone put some licorice in their winnowing baskets, but the two of them followed the adults, holding them in their arms.
Sometimes adults turn around and accidentally bump into them.
Before the two little ones could say anything, the adults deliberately cried out "ouch!" and they hurriedly apologized in a babyish voice: "I'm sorry."
It made a group of adults laugh.
The person who bumped into them immediately said, "Tangtang Guoguo, be careful."
They both replied at the same time: "Okay."
It made everyone laugh again.
"Oh, it's so happy to have two babies." Since it started raining, Dr. Hu has been staying in Xu Yu's factory.
He also pulled the professors and students over to help.
Doctor Hu was particularly fond of the two babies. He walked over and teased them with a smile: "Tangtang, Tangguo, follow your great grandfather. Don't play with those bad guys. They will bully you when you are little."
Guoguo tilted her head and thought for a moment, then loudly retorted, "They are not bad guys."
Tangtang also said: "We bumped into them."
Dr. Hu was actually choked.
The others continued to laugh.
At this moment, Xu Jianping's voice came from outside: "Jiang Yi, sister, are you there?"
