Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Settle Down to Devote Herself to Her Seed Business Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Settle Down to Devote Herself to Her Seed Business Sister-in-law Li’s buns were filled with dried green beans and sauce at. Even though the dough was a bit overcooked and mixed with cornal, her culinary skills were superb, and one bite released a fragrant aroma.
Qiao Qingyu thought that once everything was fully opened up, Sister-in-law Li could totally start a restaurant in the family compound of the base. Of course, she couldn’t say that out loud, as the matter with Li Zhiqiang had not been settled yet.
After lunch, upon hearing that the seed selection was complete, the two of them beca anxious. They still didn’t understand the concept that ti is money, but they were aware that being late by one season ant being late by a whole year.
The sooner the dicinal herbs were planted, the better.
Although Lu Ye’s words were not always reliable, when it ca to getting things done, he was very dependable. He had written down the planting thods and necessary precautions for gastrodia and red flowers on a few pieces of paper and handed them to Qiao Qingyu.
Qiao Qingyu also needed to keep this information, as there were no relevant books available yet.
She copied all the information and then handed it to Accountant Zhang.
The people from Qiao Family Team did not have experience in planting dicinal herbs, but the principles were similar to those for crops. As long as they thoroughly understood the information, these dicinal herbs would surely bring them an unexpected harvest.
The truck was parked right at the entrance of Zone 5.
Old Xie had assigned a few people to help move the selected dicinal herb seeds into the large truck.
Accountant Zhang and Qiao Tianbao carefully covered everything with canvas. They had to account for the possibility of encountering a downpour, as they would be exposed to the elents. On top of the canvas, there was an additional layer of wax paper, firmly secured.
Once everything was ready, it was ti for them to go.
Old Xie was no longer in a hurry now, as the decision to establish the Green Committee at the Tenghai Research Base had been unanimously passed at the eting that morning.
He was appointed the director of the Green Committee.
There were four clerks under him, all serving the Green Committee and working part-ti. Old Xie had suggested that Qiao Qingyu beco the vice director, as she was the one who provided all the seeds, but He Xiuyu had rejected the idea.
He Xiuyu thought that Qiao Qingyu should just focus on her seed business for now, and if there was an opportunity, she might contract wasteland to realize her dream of turning the place into lush green hills and clear waters.
But current Qiao Qingyu was not suitable for the position of vice director.
To be honest, at this stage, He Xiuyu did not want Qiao Qingyu to take on such a great responsibility.
Even though he had made the decision without consulting Qiao Qingyu, he believed that given her intelligence, she would definitely understand his intentions.
Old Xie was now very busy; the greening task of the base had been entrusted to him. He was originally in charge of this, with Old Wei leading the effort. With these two at the helm, the team was quickly ford and things went unexpectedly smoothly.
After Old Xie had finished his busy work, he said to Qiao Qingyu with a smile, “Qingyu, Old Wei and I went for a stroll on the wasteland you contracted the other day…”
Qiao Qingyu replied with humor, “Director Xie, how did you two manage to stroll all the way to such a distant place?”
“Just on the way,” Old Xie laughed, brushing it off, then seriously added, “The barley grass there is growing really well, with the tallest ones now reaching twenty centiters.”
He paused and then said, “Qingyu, guess what Old Wei and I saw?”
Qiao Qingyu, playing along, asked, “Director Xie, what did you and Director Wei see?”
Old Xie slapped his thigh, “We saw a rabbit running through the grass…”
“Oh, so it was a rabbit,” Qiao Qingyu responded indifferently, which made Old Xie anxious, “Qingyu, do you know what a rabbit signifies? It ans that the ecological environnt in our area has greatly improved. Haven’t you noticed that it’s rare to see rabbits within many miles of here?”
Old Xie joyfully glanced at the sign for the Zone 5 Breeding Laboratory, “The seeds you sowed represent the hope for a future with lush greenery and clear waters.”
Qiao Qingyu smiled and nodded, “Director Xie, rest assured, as soon as the land for the greening belt is leveled, you can co here to get the seeds.”
At this mont, Qiao Tianbao ca over, and knowing that the siblings needed to talk, Old Xie greeted Tianbao, left his office phone number with him, and then cheerfully walked away.
Even though he had taken on an extra role without any increase in salary, he was happy.
Starting tomorrow, while the machinery was not yet in place, the personnel had to be ready.
The green belt to the north of the base covered several thousand acres, and if they had to rely on human labor, it would take an unbearably long ti.
Therefore, he had Old Wei make contact with Yushu County.
They needed ten tractors for plowing, and they would bring in a few dozen more from Xichuan. Together with the temporary workers recruited from the families of the staff, they must level the land of the sandy belt within a week.
Thinking about it, Old Xie felt that He Xiuyu was indeed very cunning, loving his wife right down to the bones. No wonder he didn’t agree to Qiao Qingyu becoming the vice director; he couldn’t bear to see his wife working too hard.
As he turned the corner, he looked back at the direction of Zone 5, and for so reason, he felt that the area surrounding the base, including Xiaxi Commune and even the whole Xichuan, would change dramatically because of Qiao Qingyu’s Breeding Laboratory.
At this mont, Qiao Qingyu was instructing Qiao Tianbao, “Big brother, rember what I told you earlier. Don’t say a word about what happened at the commune entrance. First, we must adhere to the principle of confidentiality, and secondly, we can’t have mom and dad worrying.”
Qiao Tianbao nodded hurriedly. These past few days, he had seen that although he initially thought He Xiuyu was cool and hard to approach, he turned out to be a person who was refreshingly caring and cautious.
Honestly speaking, his sister marrying him was really good. Like He Xiuyu, one couldn’t find a second person like him in the whole Harvest Commune, let alone all of North City.
Little cousin sister was living better here than everyone expected, and so of the officers’ family mbers got along quite well with sister.
And it wasn’t just out of regard for He Xiuyu but genuinely because of sister herself. So Qiao Tianbao really admired his little sister.
Nevertheless, as the big brother, he still had to give his advice, “Qingyu, live your life here with He Xiuyu, but if you’re ever unhappy, just co back to Qiao Family Team or give a call, and I’ll co to pick you up myself, alright?”
“Don’t worry, big brother. You won’t need to pick up. It’s very likely that I’ll visit back in the fall.”
“Well, that would be wonderful.” Then, not wanting to delay any further, “Qingyu, it’s ti for your big brother to go. If all goes well, I should arrive in Xichuan by tonight.”
Qiao Tianbao saw that Accountant Zhang was anxiously pacing next to the truck, seemingly wishing he could just fly the dicinal herb seeds straight to Qiao Family Team to plant them overnight.
