It was not until the 28th day of the 11th lunar month that Zhao Bingnan from Linquan called Xiao Yuanhang and told him very sorry that he had contacted several old mountain dangers from Changbai Mountain. He did not find the old mountain ginseng that he wanted with sixth-grade leaves or above. There were only a few third-grade leaves. Finally, he could barely find two fifth-grade leaves from an old hunter. Sixth-grade leaves or even seventh-grade leaves are now impossible to find. That kind of top-grade wild mountain ginseng is hard to come by.

Since Xiao Yuanhang learned that Mr. Xu and Minister Chang were going to meet him, he considered some good gifts. First, the gifts given to them should not be vulgar, second, it must be unique, and third, it must be useful. Xiao Yuanhang also considered gifts such as antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and he could afford this money, but giving expensive antiques, calligraphy and paintings is afraid of arousing disgust from Mr. Xu or Minister Chang, so it would be more than worth the loss. Finally, he thought of the three treasures in the Northeast, ginseng, deer antler and non-old grass. The three treasures in the Northeast have the old three treasures and the new three treasures. The old three treasures talk about ginseng, deer antler, urla grass, and the new three treasures are ginseng, marten, and deer antler horns. The new local sayings in Changbai Mountain are ginseng, deer antler, and non-old grass. These are the best products for nourishing health and prolonging life. In ancient times, wild ginseng was used to hang your life!

After making the decision, Xiao Yuanhang immediately called Zhao Bingnan and asked him to help buy these three things, such as deer antler and Bulao grass, but wild ginseng was extremely difficult to buy even in this era. In 1989, wild ginseng unearthed in Songjiang Province was only fifty or sixty kilograms, and only two of them appeared throughout the year, both of which were bought by wealthy Hong Kong businessmen for more than 200,000 yuan. Xiao Yuanhang had to hurry. In such a short time, it was extremely rare for Zhao Bingnan to find two fifth-grade leaves for him.

Zhao Bingnan was promoted to the captain of the first passenger team of Linquan Train Section two years ago. He did a great job and was listed as a reserve cadre of the deputy section chief in charge of passenger transportation. Although the reserve cadre on the railway is a form of form, relying on his business years and having a year or two of his qualifications, he has a great hope to reach the next level.

Although Xiao Yuanhang's Guoren Company obtained a business license for Songshuzi from the Linquan Forestry Bureau, Zhao Bingnan and Li Yifeng have been doing things such as contacting the source of goods and shipping and loading of vehicles for their company. Xiao Yuanhang also gave them a lot of commissions and labor fees. Over the past five years, Zhao Bingnan and Li Yifeng have become well-known local households of 100,000 yuan. Zhao Bingnan is a very generous guy. He never stings with money for making friends, and has really maintained a lot of relationships. He also maintained a certain relationship in the branch office.

Although the wild ginseng with fifth-grade leaves is only one grade different from the wild ginseng with sixth-grade leaves, the price is more than ten times different. Zhao Bingnan told Xiao Yuanhang that the wild ginseng with these two fifth-grade leaves are of good quality and have complete roots. The ginseng is over 50 years old. One tree weighs 57 grams and the other weighs 51 grams, both of which are more than one or two. The price of two trees is 50,000 yuan!

It was already an unexpected surprise for Xiao Yuanhang to be able to buy two wild ginseng trees, which had been ginseng for more than 50 years. He immediately said: "Brother Zhao, please buy these two wild ginseng trees for me immediately, and I will send someone to drive over to pick them up. I guess I will arrive in Linquan at two or three o'clock in the afternoon. In addition to the deer antler and the grass you bought for me, I will bring the money to you with you."

It takes more than 8 hours to take the train from Guhe to Linquan, but the train from Tongshui is a detour. If you drive a car, you can go directly from Huixian, which is quite close. Although the road from Guhe to Linquan is in poor condition, it is also three or four hours. It is over 10 am now. If you leave now, you will arrive at two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhao Bingnan did not be polite to Xiao Yuanhang, and said, "Okay, I'll go into the mountain to get ginseng right away!" If it was two or three thousand, Zhao Bingnan would never ask Xiao Yuanhang for money, but he could not afford the 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. He knew that Xiao Yuanhang was not short of this amount of money at all, so he agreed directly.

As the Spring Festival approaches, Xiao Yuanhang is very busy. In addition to presiding over the shift and handling normal work every day, he also has to visit and comfort retired cadres and extremely poor households on behalf of the station, sending subsidies and condolences to them, and delivering the warmth of the organization to them. He is responsible for visiting three retired veteran cadres and 11 extremely poor households in the operation workshop. Because the residences of the veteran cadres and extremely poor households are very scattered, some of them live in Long Town and Liucheng. Xiao Yuanhang usually can only use some time in the afternoon to visit. Although it is much more convenient for him to have a car, he can only visit two or three companies a day. There are still the last three companies left to visit today, and they must be finished. Otherwise, tomorrow is the 29th, and the day after tomorrow will be New Year's Eve!

Xiao Yuanhang arrived at the tobacco shop in the operation workshop in front of the station and called Xiaoqiang. Xiaoqiang was not in the company and was answered by a big country. Xiao Yuanhang asked, "Big country, what did Xiaoqiang do?"

Daguo said: "Xiaoqiang has gone to his partner's house and can come back after lunch."

After Wang Dahai and Xiaoliang went to Hong Kong, Xiaoqiang has always served as the general manager of Guoren Company. Now he is the head of the Commercial Building. His annual income is hundreds of thousands. He is also the number one figure in Guhe. Many enthusiastic people have introduced him to him. Not long ago, during the winter vacation, someone introduced a college student who was a junior at Songjiang Architectural College. His father was the deputy director of Guhe Construction Committee. He was very beautiful. Xiaoqiang was very satisfied. The woman was also very satisfied with him. The two of them got along and they got along very well.

Xiao Yuanhang wanted Xiaoqiang to go to Linquan, but when he saw that he had gone to his partner's house, he said to the great country: "Daguo, you can go to Linquan immediately to find Zhao Bingnan and get back the wild ginseng and deer antler he bought for me. During the Spring Festival, I want to give gifts. You can withdraw 60,000 yuan from the company to see how much it cost to Zhao Bingnan to buy these things, and you can settle it."

The great power said: "Okay, I'll leave right away."

Xiao Yuanhang said: "Also, a great country, it's the New Year. You bring some good cigarettes and wine to Brother Zhao and Brother Li."

The big country said: "Okay, second brother, how about bringing them two Chinese two three-five and two bottles of Moutai for each of them?"

Xiao Yuanhang said: "Okay, just watch it and bring it."

After lunch, Xiao Yuanhang and Tang Zhenglin, director of the operation workshop, drove a car to Long Town with condolences to visit the extremely poor workers in operation. The last three families to visit today are all extremely poor workers in operation, one in Long Town, one in Liucheng, and one in Chengnan Township. They are all in other places and scattered in three directions. Xiao Yuanhang decided to use this afternoon to visit the last three years.

On the car, Tang Zhenglin asked: "Station Manager Xiao, is there any clues in the branch office that adds duty teacher to the operation workshop?"

Xiao Yuanhang said: "I called Director Luo tomorrow. He said that the branch leaders attached great importance to this year and were studying it. I guess they will be able to attend the meeting after the Spring Festival." (To be continued...)
