Chapter 576

It was rare for Cao Weiguo to ask for something, so Director Feng naturally wouldn't refuse.

In this day and age, wild ginseng wasn't that hard to find, and with connections to local units in Jilin.

Director Feng didn't spend much effort finding three wild ginseng roots of significant age.

Returning to his office, Cao Weiguo couldn't put down the three wild ginseng roots.

Wild ginseng seeds are spread by birds and animals, growing in mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests composed of trees, shrubs, and weeds.

They are mainly produced in the Far East region, the Changbai Mountain range, etc.

China is the country and region that applied ginseng earliest and developed ginseng into a special culture, which is a major contribution to the world.

As early as 2,000 years ago, the "Shennong Herbal Classic" had a detailed record of the medicinal value of wild ginseng:

"Mainly replenishes the five internal organs, calms the spirit, stabilizes the soul, stops palpitations, removes evil spirits, brightens the eyes, opens the heart and benefits wisdom, and long-term use lightens the body and prolongs life."

Li Shizhen called wild ginseng "divine grass" in the "Compendium of Materia Medica," stating that "ginseng treats all deficiency syndromes in men and women, fever and spontaneous sweating, and dizziness."

Wild ginseng has become increasingly scarce due to years of digging and will be even more precious in the future.

Traveling hasn't been easy these past few years; when things loosen up, he'll have to go to the three eastern provinces no matter what.

Ginseng, deer antler, Solomon's seal, bear bile, let them all come into the bowl.

Just as Cao Weiguo was enjoying himself, the phone on the desk suddenly rang.

"Hello, I am Cao Weiguo."

Cao Weiguo picked up the phone and reported his name.

"Weiguo, it's me, Old Han!"

Section Chief Han from the Industrial Bureau?

Cao Weiguo wondered why he would call him.

Section Chief Han was a cadre from a higher-level unit who often accompanied Director Jiang down for inspections.

Cao Weiguo said politely: "It's Section Chief Han! Hello!"

Section Chief Han scolded: "Weiguo, you're being too formal, why are you still calling me Section Chief? Just call me Old Han."

Cao Weiguo laughed: "Ha, I was wrong, I was wrong, Brother Han, is there something you need?"

"Weiguo, you're not being sincere!"

"I heard you helped Secretary Liu get half a wild boar."

"With such good stuff, how could you forget your Old Han?"

Hearing Section Chief Han's words, Cao Weiguo knew clearly:

"Brother Han, what are you saying, I wouldn't forget you even if I forgot anyone!"

"I was actually saving that other half of the wild boar specifically for you."

"I was just about to call you."

Section Chief Han said happily: "Brother Weiguo is righteous!"

As the National Day holiday approached, supplies became increasingly scarce.

People were relying on people, people were looking for people... all looking for Cao Weiguo to get supplies.

Cao Weiguo didn't dare to take on everything, but he tried his best to "help if he could."

Human sentiment has a group nature and connectivity; to use an old saying, it's "give and take": "If there is giving without taking, it is not etiquette."

This is the foundation of human sentiment and also its group manifestation.

Reflected in this kind of interaction, it is mainly manifested in: mutual help, pooling money for gifts, frequent contact, etc.

When you have something, I help you; when I have something, you help me.

Through this complementary relationship, a bond of human sentiment is established.
