Chapter 702 Special Geology

Arriving in front of the gate of Xue Family Medicine Garden, Lu Fei was extremely shocked.

The courtyard wall, which is more than two meters high, extends endlessly to the left and right, and visually surrounds the two hills visible to the naked eye. The area is outrageously large.

The two security guards opened the door, greeted Xue Taihe, and then the car continued along the quiet dirt road.

Once inside, there were greenhouses on both sides, and Lu Fei couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Old Xue, what's in the greenhouse?"

"Do you still cultivate medicinal herbs artificially?"

Xue Taihe smiled slightly.

"Go back to the master, this is the planting area."

"But what we grow is not medicinal materials but vegetables."

"We have more than 300 employees in our medicine garden. In this 60-acre planting area, we grow a wide variety of vegetables, which is enough for everyone's daily consumption." ??

"Hiss——"

Lu Fei took a breath of air when he heard this.

Okay!

There are more than 300 employees, and the vegetable planting area is 60 acres. How big is the total area of this medicinal garden!

Xue Taihe continued.

"Not only the planting area, our breeding area is also 60 acres."

"All kinds of poultry and livestock are raised there, so eating meat is definitely not a problem here."

Gao Yuan asked with a loud mouth.

"Mr. Xue, how big is your garden?"

"Haha, it's not too big, only three hundred and thirty acres of land."

"puff"

"How many?"

"Three hundred and thirty acres!" Xue Tai and Gu Jing said calmly.

"Hold!"

After hearing this number, even Lu Fei was not calm.

"I didn't expect that Lao Xue, your family is still a rich man!"

"Three hundred and thirty acres of land, how much does it cost?" Lu Fei asked.

"Master, this was all purchased by our ancestors. We didn't spend any money at that time."

“I think back then, this place was just a wasteland, so we just needed to enclose the land.”

"The Manchus and Qing Dynasties designated the forest farm as a royal hunting ground, and this is how it became popular.

Son. "

"It wasn't until the 27th year of Guangxu's reign that this place officially belonged to the Xue family under the decree of Lord Buddha."

"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, my father completed the procedures until now." Xue Taihe said.

"Awesome!"

"With such a large area, this is a huge leak!"

"Then again, with more than 300 employees, the annual daily expenses are not small. This is not something ordinary people can maintain." Lu Fei said.

"This is not a problem. I don't have to spend any money on workers' expenses, and I can even make money." Xue Taihe said.

"How do you say this?" Lu Fei asked.

Xue Taihe smiled proudly.

"In the 1990s, I rented 50 acres of land here to the medical school as a research and cultivation base for traditional Chinese medicine."

"The annual rent, after deducting my expenses, still leaves a lot."

"In addition, they spend a lot of money buying vegetables and meat from me every year."

"Well"

This time Gao Yuan and Lu Fei were stunned at the same time.

Good guy!

This old man is really smart!

It vividly interprets the spirit of keeping wealth and water in others' fields.

Sure enough, ginger is still spicy!

The car drove for another ten minutes when a fork in the road appeared in front of it.

Turn left and go straight to the base of the medical school, and on the other side is the Xue family's medicine garden.

After rounding a small mountain bend, the vegetation suddenly became dense in front of us.

And the color of the soil is also a little different. The soil here is darker and obviously more fertile.

After turning this mountain bend, there is another wooden gatehouse in front of us. This is the real base of the Xue family's medicine garden.

Inside, rows of bungalows are filled with smoke, and more and more employees are walking around.

After entering the wooden door, the employees outside

The group gathered around to say hello to Xue Taihe.

Xue Taihe greeted the workers in a low-key, polite and approachable manner.

This atmosphere is not like an employment relationship, but more like a close family, which makes people feel very friendly.

Xue Taihe introduced Lu Fei to everyone without hesitation.

These people had obviously received the news a long time ago and were not surprised by it. On the contrary, they were extremely enthusiastic about Lu Fei.

"Xue Cheng, come here."

Xue Taihe called out a tall, middle-aged man.

This man is about 185cm tall and weighs at least 200 kilograms.

Being over 200 pounds does not necessarily mean you are fat, but you are strong.

The shoulders are broad, the back is thick, the arms are big, the waist is round, and as strong as an ox.

The cheekbones are slightly high, the complexion is dark, and the cheeks are densely covered with bloodshot streaks. This is the legendary plateau red.

"Master, this boy's name is Xue Cheng, and his Manchu name is Mulihan. He is the leader of our medicine garden."

“Their family has helped manage the medicine garden since my grandfather’s generation, so they have quite a lot of experience.”

Xue Cheng stretched out his palm like a leaf fan and took the initiative to shake hands with Lu Fei.

"Hello Mr. Lu, if you need anything in the medicine garden, you can come to me."

"Thanks!"

"Brother Xue, are you a bannerman?" Lu Fei asked.

"Mr. Lu, just call me Xue Cheng. You are right, I am from the Xianghuang Banner."

"Are most of you here Manchu?" Lu Fei asked.

"Ninety-nine percent of them are. Even Mr. Xue is a Manchu." Xue Cheng said.

Lu Fei nodded and asked.

"Brother Xue, how many kinds of medicinal materials do we have here?"

"We have a wide variety of medicinal materials that have been transplanted from various places over the past hundred years. There are 181 types in total."

"so much?"

"Are there so many kinds of medicinal materials in the north?" Lu Fei asked in surprise.

"Haha, we are not only in the north, we have many varieties in the south," Xue Taihe said.

"Can the environment here be used to transplant medicinal materials from the south?" Lu Fei asked.

Xue Taihe smiled slightly.

"The geology of our medicine garden is special. Seven kilometers north from here, there is a Changqing Valley."

"There are more than a dozen natural hot springs there with constant temperature all year round, which is suitable for the growth of most southern medicinal plants."

"oh?"

"Is there such a good place?"

"Can you take me there to have a look?" Lu Fei asked in surprise.

"Master, what you said is that you are my master, and the Xue family has no reservations about you."

"I will first ask Xue Cheng to arrange accommodation for you and Gao Yuan, and then I will ask Xue Cheng to take you around for a casual visit."

"By the way, Xue Cheng, where is Meimei?"

"She hasn't come back yet?" Xue Taihe asked.

"I'm back. The eldest lady will be back at noon."

"Now that you're back, why don't you see her come out to greet you?"

"This" Xue Cheng scratched his head in embarrassment and hesitated.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Xue Taihe asked.

"Don't worry, old man, nothing happened."
