Craftsman: I continue to learn for the sake of the saints

Chapter 35 The predecessors planted trees, and the later generations enjoyed the shade

Borneo, a precious traditional Chinese medicine, crystallized as borneol.

Efficacy Rejuvenate the mind, clear away heat and disperse toxins, improve eyesight and relieve cloudiness.

All dynasties have been royal tributes.

From the name alone, one can tell that the ancients were very particular about naming, and it can be called "Dragon Brain", which shows its preciousness.

For Xiangdao, borneol is an extremely important main ingredient.

Qin Luo has carefully studied many medicine and incense classics, so he is naturally very clear-"The fragrance of the dragon brain is the first of all medicines, and the fragrance of all things is second to none."

Borneo is extracted from the leaves of the camphor tree.

However, this kind of tree, in the medicine and incense classics I studied, was imported from overseas. It was originally produced in Sumatra, and it was a tribute from overseas in all dynasties.

Unexpectedly, in the mountains of my hometown, I saw it.

Qin Luo thought he had made a mistake, so he immediately took out another mobile phone and searched for information.

This context will be cleared up soon.

Borneo had always been imported or artificially synthesized.

However, with economic development and progress in exploration and scientific research, the first wild borneol camphor tree was discovered in Ji'an, Jiangxi in the 80s, and the second was discovered in Xinhuang, Hunan two years later.

Then, large-scale artificial cultivation began.

As a result, several villages were born specializing in planting borneol camphor trees, which have become important economic crops.

Qin Luo roughly estimated that Jinzhang Village and these two places have similar dimensions, both at 27 degrees north latitude, so it is not surprising that they can produce something.

What a surprise!
To know……

The growth environment of borneol camphor tree is extremely harsh.

The market price of one kilogram of borneol camphor tree leaves fluctuates according to the quality, ranging from high to low, but at least more than [-]!
If the quality is better, it can reach [-]!
Qin Luo was shocked...

The uncle came over with a complicated expression on his face for a while.

"do not you remember?"

"Your father brought this back once. He brought back a hundred seedlings. He said that they can be planted, and they can be sold for a lot of money."

"He also specifically told me that you must be careful, and don't be cut or pulled out by others."

"The sapling cost more than 50 yuan a piece at the time, and your mother even quarreled with him, saying that he wasted money and didn't have a good New Year."

"After the new year, I went out to work again, and was hit by a car..."

Qin Luo was completely stunned.

Suddenly remembered.

Indeed, one year, my father came back with a tricycle of saplings and excitedly went up the mountain to plant them.

My mother quarreled with him for a long time and dropped the bowl, but finally planted trees with him.

At that time, I only felt that they quarreled at every turn, and they were not interested in planting trees or anything.

at this time.

Qin Luo felt like his whole body had been electrified, goosebumps popped out, and he felt numb.

did not expect……

To be honest, I didn't expect that this, this was left by my father?

Qin Luo's eyes turned red immediately, and he held back his tears.

"I...my dad?"

The uncle said again: "I remember your father said that the sapling will grow for two years, and it will be harvested in the third year."

"But he can't wait for two years, and he has to go out to work to earn money. You were still in school at that time."

"As a result, in the second year, people disappeared."

"In the past two years, I missed him, and I would come to see him every now and then, hey..."

"In the third year, there was a severe drought and there was not much rain. They grew wilted, and more than a dozen trees died... After that, I didn't care much about it."

"Xiao Luo, this year is almost the seventh year."

The uncle sighed very much, his eyes seemed to be a little red, he took out a cigarette, lit it silently, and looked at the mountains and rivers down the hillside with his hands behind his back.

Qin Luo's tears finally couldn't help falling down and she wiped them away. There was an unspeakable emotion in her heart, rolling and rushing.

There is grief for the parents.

I also feel the cruelty and magic of fate.

I still think of...

Ten years of trees, a hundred years of trees.

The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants took the shade.

Some words are just ordinary words when there is no emotion, but when they really face this situation, when they think about it, they can't help but burst into tears.

……

Seeing Qin Luo crying, Sister Cha was shocked.

The audience in the live broadcast room were also stunned.

It was completely unexpected that such a story would lead to an ordinary mountain drive.

Some fans didn't understand and asked what was going on.

Someone patiently explained that the tree that Luo Ge found was very valuable, and it might not be produced locally. After asking the uncle, he found out that it was planted by his father. His father planted the tree. When the tree grows, Going out to work, people are gone.Brother Luo didn't know about it until now, when he came back, he suddenly encountered it.

Such a story...

The whole live room was boiling.

It's just that Sister Cha didn't care about it. She threw the phone aside, walked up to Qin Luo, patted him on the shoulder, and hugged him.

The uncle turned around.

After a while, Qin Luo's mood gradually recovered, and he became much calmer. He wiped away his tears and let out a long sigh.

"Thank you."

Walking into this camphor forest...

Counting carefully, there are still 83 borneol camphor trees on this hillside, which are luxuriant and lush, and the growth is particularly gratifying.

Qin Luo couldn't help but think again—there is a loquat tree in the courtyard, which was planted by my wife when she died, and now it is as graceful as a canopy.

So he picked the leaves gently.

One piece, two pieces, three or four pieces, five pieces, six pieces, seven or eight pieces.

He took out a cloth pocket from the interlayer of the schoolbag and filled the whole bag until it couldn't fit completely, then returned silently along the original road.

……

"Xiao Luo, is this tree very valuable?"

On the way back, the atmosphere was a little more relaxed, and the uncle asked curiously.

"Ah."

"Very valuable."

"It's between [-] and [-] per kilogram, but it's troublesome to grow, and it has high requirements for the growing environment."

so much!
Uncle was taken aback.

For a moment, my flesh hurts unceasingly, and I feel like I missed a hundred million.

In the past few years, those leaves have fallen naturally, and I have never paid attention to them.

It's all money!
"Then...then our village, can we grow it?"

he asked cautiously.

If it is really possible, it will undoubtedly be of great economic benefit to the villagers.

"Dimensions are okay. Since my dad's plant has grown, it should mean it's okay."

"It's just the soil quality, light, and precipitation that have to be considered."

"Moreover, it takes two years to become a talent."

"We can invite an agricultural expert to come over and take a look later. If it is really necessary, we can expand the planting."

"I'll extract this part of the leaves first to test the quality."

"I also hope that everyone in the village can become rich, but it's not that simple. People are a problem, money is a problem, and time is also a problem."

"It must be our family that takes the lead. If the expert evaluation is feasible, I will pay to build a planting base. If the base is large, we can build a borneol processing factory. Sales will not be worrying. earn a wage."

After a pause, Qin Luo added: "The village collective can take a certain amount of shares, but not a lot. If they make money, they will take part of it, and the villagers will share dividends together. For other private businesses, if the tree planting is not good and they lose money, I am worried that they will come Make trouble."

"I don't like troublesome things. It's not about money, it's about worrying, hurting my soul, and hurting my feelings."

Qin Luo seriously considered this matter, taking into account both the public heart of the village and his own selfishness.

The uncle looked at him, thought for a while, and smiled on his face.

"Xiao Luo, you have really grown up now."

"It's very thoughtful."

"Okay, let's look at it again and extract it first. We are not in a hurry."

……

Sister Cha secretly picked a lot of flowers and branches along the way, and she wove two garlands with her dexterous hands, one for herself and Qin Luo.

I tied two more bouquets and held them in my hand.

When Qin Luo saw her actions, his heart was touched again.

"Uncle, let's take a detour and go to the grave to have a look."

……
