Chapter 537

In the current pharmaceutical factory, the production status was quite good. The workers were all working intently on the production line. Su Xinghui asked the workers a few questions from time to time, and the workers answered him one by one.

Coming out of the production workshop, Su Xinghui nodded, "Feng Zong, the situation in your factory is good. Are there many orders now?"

Feng Yuandong smiled, "There are really quite a few orders now; we can't keep up with production. On one hand, there aren't enough skilled workers, and on the other, raw materials can't keep up for the time being. But it will be better next month; we have a batch of workers in training, and they can start work next month. Next month, a batch of Chinese medicinal herbs in several villages will also mature, and the raw material problem can also be alleviated."

Su Xinghui said, "Feng Zong, this situation will be much better next year. Now, several townships around Meng Hu Ling, including several townships in Hongshan County, are engaged in special planting and are also planting Chinese medicinal herbs. Starting next year, the problem of raw materials in your factory can be solved."

Feng Yuandong nodded, "That would be great. I've been worrying about the raw materials. To tell you the truth, investing and building a factory here was because I saw your Chinese medicinal herb planting base. Now that the factory has started, raw materials can't keep up, and I'm under quite a bit of pressure."

Su Xinghui smiled and patted Feng Yuandong on the shoulder, "Just rest assured. The mountain area around Meng Hu Ling is not small. Now that the common people in Meng Hu Ling have made money planting Chinese medicinal herbs, won't others feel itchy? In the future, the area for planting Chinese medicinal herbs around here will definitely get bigger and bigger. I think your Quanjie Pharmaceutical Factory will have to increase investment in the future."

Feng Yuandong said, "Then I can rest assured!"

Su Xinghui said, "Feng Zong, keep a tight grip on the management of the factory these few days, and don't relax at ordinary times either."

Feng Yuandong said, "Township Head Su, rest assured about this. We keep a tight grip on the management of our factory, and we won't relax at any time."

Speaking of this, Feng Yuandong lowered his voice, "Township Head Su, is there a leader coming for an inspection?"

Feng Yuandong was a sharp person. Although he was young, he had worked at Quanjie Pharmaceutical for many years and had been in charge of things for several years. He had seen many inspections by leaders. As soon as he saw Su Xinghui's posture, he knew that a leader was likely coming for an inspection.

Su Xinghui smiled and said noncommittally, "Feng Zong, does your management not need to be tightened if leaders aren't coming for an inspection?"

Feng Yuandong laughed, "How could that be? Factory management is a big deal. We are a private enterprise, and wanting to make money depends on management. Even if leaders weren't coming, I would still tighten management. Township Head Su, tell me, is it a county leader or a city leader coming?"

Su Xinghui laughed, "Feng Zong, don't guess blindly."

Feng Yuandong said, "Township Head Su, do you want me to get some banners to welcome the leaders?"

Su Xinghui hurriedly shook his head, "Feng Zong, you must not do that. If a leader comes, they might not like these banners, and it would ruin things instead."

Feng Yuandong laughed triumphantly, "Look, I said it, I said a leader was coming, and you wouldn't admit it."

Su Xinghui pointed at Feng Yuandong, "Feng Zong, oh Feng Zong, you really are cunning. Alright, just keep it in mind, don't spread it outside. If it causes any bad influence, I'll hold you responsible!"

Feng Yuandong nodded knowingly, "I understand, I will definitely do the preparation work well without letting the leaders see it."

Su Xinghui nodded, "Alright, then I'll go take a look at other places."

Feng Yuandong nodded repeatedly, watching Su Xinghui take off his disposable clothing, hat, and mask at the factory gate and go out. He turned and called the office director, telling him to clean up the factory's hygiene and not have any dead corners.

Feng Yuandong didn't pay too much attention. In fact, the various management aspects of the factory were already done quite well, so even if leaders came, he wouldn't be afraid. He also never expected that the one coming this time was the Provincial Party Secretary. He thought at most it was a county or city leader. If he knew it was the Provincial Party Secretary, he would definitely be as if facing a great enemy.

Su Xinghui went to the breeding farm to take a look. Fang Youcai and Zhao Zhongfu were both there. Seeing Su Xinghui arrive, they didn't take it seriously; Su Xinghui came to Yezhugou often.

Fang Youcai said, "Township Head Su is here, come to my house for a drink in a while."

Su Xinghui said, "I'm not drinking today, I drove here."

Zhao Zhongfu smiled, "Then what brings Township Head Su here today?"

Su Xinghui said, "Nothing special, just running around to every village to see the situation. You must pay attention to the hygiene of this breeding farm!"

Fang Youcai said, "Township Head Su, rest assured. Professor Rao came once last time, and he focused on the hygiene of the breeding farm. He nodded repeatedly after seeing it."

Zhao Zhongfu also said, "Yes, Township Head Su, we keep what Professor Rao said in mind. We know how serious the consequences are if the hygiene of the breeding farm isn't handled well. If an epidemic breaks out, the loss will be huge. How could we not take it to heart?"

Su Xinghui walked around the breeding farm and took a look. Sure enough, the hygiene measures were done quite well. Feces couldn't be seen in the animal pens. Zhao Zhongfu said, "These feces are cleaned by special personnel at any time, and the feces aren't wasted; they are all composted into organic fertilizer and applied to the Eucommia forest and medicinal fields. This is the best organic fertilizer."

Su Xinghui was quite satisfied with the situation here. After seeing it, he nodded, "Alright, then I'll go take a look in the village."

Zhao Zhongfu said, "Then I'll accompany you."

Su Xinghui said, "No need, I'm so familiar with the village, why do I need you to accompany me? I'll just walk around."

Su Xinghui walked around the village alone. He mainly went to take a look at the homes of some relatively poor villagers. These villagers were poor because someone in their family was sick or disabled. Su Xinghui was very familiar with these families, so he really didn't need anyone to accompany him.

Now, the situation of these poor villagers and households under the five guarantees was much better than before. Originally, the village had no money in accumulation, but now the village had set up several enterprises, and the village accumulation was getting richer. These poor villagers had people sending living supplies regularly, and their days were much better than before.

Su Xinghui was very familiar with them. He went from house to house, asking from house to house, and the work was done very meticulously. These villagers were also all grateful to Su Xinghui. They all knew who to thank for their current days; Su Xinghui was their great benefactor!

Su Xinghui walked slowly and turned to Xia Zhu's home, only to see Xia Shisheng walking at the door with a cane. He was walking much more smoothly than a year ago.

Su Xinghui smiled, "Uncle Xia, I see your legs and feet are much more flexible than before."

Xia Shisheng looked up and saw it was Su Xinghui. He smiled, "It's Township Head Su. Xia Zhu's mom is cooking, and it will be ready soon. Eat lunch here at noon!"

At Xia Zhu's home, Su Xinghui wouldn't be polite. He nodded, "Alright, then I'll bother Uncle Xia."

Xia Shisheng said happily, "What bother? Xia Zhu will be back for lunch in a while, you sit for a while." ===== CHAPTER 539 =====
