Chapter 27

Lu Xiaoya was happy in her heart. After thinking for a while, she said, "How about this: you are helping the common people in the mountains find a way to get rich, and I can also help you."

Su Xinghui was stunned. "What help can you give me?"

Lu Xiaoya said, "My mother is the manager of the Jiangnan District State-owned Handicraft Store. Do you think I can help you?"

Su Xinghui was overjoyed upon hearing this. "Is what you said true? That's great! If these bamboo weavings can really find a market, then I must thank you on behalf of the common people in the mountains!"

This time coming to Jiangcheng, Su Xinghui wasn't worried about finding a market for the wild game, but for finding a market for these bamboo weavings, he wasn't very confident either. He had also planned to ask in those shopping malls. Now that Lu Xiaoya could help him find such a way, that was naturally the best.

Seeing Su Xinghui looking very happy, Lu Xiaoya was also very happy that she could help him.

Lu Xiaoya said, "How about this: I'll take a few samples back and show them to my mother tonight. If she likes them, this matter will be eight or nine out of ten."

Su Xinghui said happily, "Alright, whichever ones you like, feel free to take them back."

Lu Xiaoya picked a few of the most exquisite bamboo weavings, put them in her bag, and prepared to take them home. Then she took a pen and paper from her bag, wrote down her home phone number, handed it to Su Xinghui, and said, "Call me tomorrow during the day; I will be at home."

Su Xinghui glanced at the slip of paper and then cherished it and put it in his wallet.

The two chatted congenially and chatted for nearly an hour without realizing it. At this time, Yu Maode had finished acupuncture for Lu Xiaoya's grandmother. He returned to the table somewhat exhausted and started writing a prescription.

Lu Xiaoya went over to help her grandmother over and asked, "Grandma, how do you feel?"

Her grandmother's complexion looked much better. She nodded and said, "Mmm, it doesn't hurt as much, and now I can walk by myself."

Yu Maode said while writing the prescription, "Old sister, your rheumatoid arthritis has lasted too long. It's impossible to be completely cured. But if you come for acupuncture a few more times and insist on taking medicine, it's still possible to restore your ability to take care of yourself."

Grandma Lu said gratefully, "Dr. Yu, I'm already very grateful to you for this!"

Lu Xiaoya also said to Yu Maode, "Dr. Yu, you've worked hard!"

Su Xinghui said, "Uncle, this is my classmate. Please take care when treating her grandmother."

Yu Maode nodded and smiled. "I know she is your classmate. I heard what you said. Even if you didn't say it, I would still take care."

Lu Xiaoya made a face at Su Xinghui secretly. This could be considered a way for her to express her gratitude to Su Xinghui.

After getting the medicine and paying the medical fees, Lu Xiaoya helped her grandmother into the taxi again and waved goodbye to Su Xinghui and the Yu father and son.

After Lu Xiaoya left, Yu Gaofeng said, "Xinghui, I think this girl seems to like you."

Su Xinghui said, "Don't talk nonsense. We have a very pure classmate relationship."

"If she didn't like you, why would she help you?"

"Can't classmates help each other?"

Yu Maode watched the two brothers bicker with a smile. The summer afternoon was too hot, and there were rarely any patients, so he was also very leisurely.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Gaoshan returned. After moving out, he lived not far from the old house. Seeing him return, Su Xinghui shouted, "Brother Gaoshan."

Seeing Su Xinghui had come, Yu Gaoshan answered, washed his face, and came over.

After coming over, Yu Gaoshan naturally had to ask why Su Xinghui had come. Su Xinghui said, "I came specifically to look for you this time."

"Look for me?" Yu Gaoshan smiled. "Is there any good news?"

Su Xinghui said, "Of course there is good news."

Su Xinghui explained his intention, and Yu Gaoshan was indeed very interested. "Can you really farm wild boars, wild pheasants, and the like there?"

Su Xinghui nodded. "Of course I can. We have mountains there. I came to Jiangcheng this time to consult experts about farming techniques. It should be up and running soon. What I need now is a sales channel."

Yu Gaoshan said, "Sales channels are no problem. I'm familiar with many restaurants in Jiangcheng. If this kind of wild game is transported to Jiangcheng, I dare to guarantee it will sell well."

Yu Gaoshan grew up on the banks of the Changjiang River. He had been quick-witted since he was a child. After graduating from high school and failing to get into university, he farmed for a few years, then started raising fish. Later, seeing that selling fish was more profitable, he gave up raising fish and went to sell fish.

In the Qingyu Township area, there were many fishermen. By the river, a lot of fresh fish from the Changjiang River were caught every day, and there were also many people raising fish here, so fishmongers emerged as the times required. Yu Gaoshan was one of the earlier practitioners among them.

After selling fish for several years, Yu Gaoshan had become familiar with all the restaurants in Jiangcheng. Now his business was getting bigger and bigger. He had bought a small truck and modified the carriage into a pool that could hold water to transport live fish. Every morning, he went to collect fish and then delivered fish all over Jiangcheng.

Having such a sales channel, Su Xinghui finding him was the most appropriate thing.

For Yu Gaoshan, the wild game from Meng Hu Ling was also a good way. Jiangcheng was a place with many rivers and lakes, and fish were not strange at all to the diners here. In contrast, Jiangcheng, which had no mountains at all, considered wild game an absolute rarity. If Yu Gaoshan could find a stable supply channel, his business would definitely go to the next level.

Such cooperation was a win-win!

Su Xinghui said, "Alright, then when you go to Jiangcheng tomorrow, inquire about the market conditions for these wild games. I will consult experts to see the cost of farming these wild games, and then see if it is feasible to farm these things. If it is feasible, we can start farming."

Yu Gaoshan said excitedly, "The market is no problem. The restaurant business in Jiangcheng is booming now. No matter how many wild games you farm there, it's just a drop in the bucket for the Jiangcheng market. It will only be in short supply, and the price will definitely satisfy you."

Jiangcheng was now a super-large city with a population of several million. Within ten years, due to the influx of migrant population, its permanent population would exceed ten million. Such a huge market could handle as many wild boars as Meng Hu Ling could farm.

Su Xinghui naturally knew that the market was no problem, but he still insisted that Yu Gaoshan investigate the market conditions because he wanted to use concrete data to strengthen the confidence of the Wild Boar Ditch Village in farming wild game.

Seeing Su Xinghui's insistence, Yu Gaoshan nodded and agreed. He prepared to ask one by one when he delivered fish tomorrow.

Early the next morning, after Yu Gaoshan collected the fish, he drove the small truck to Jiangcheng. Su Xinghui also sat in the truck's carriage and went to Jiangcheng together. After entering the urban area, he got off the truck. ===== CHAPTER 29 =====
