In "The Foreseen Future," the elder brother in the dormitory hails from Tongbai County in Nanyang, Henan. He has established a significant market presence, capturing over 70% of the market share in regions such as Dongshan, Xishan, North River, and Nanhe by processing Pearl Flower, White Flower Vegetable, Punching Cabbage (Fiddlehead Fern), Dandelion, Platycodon, Ma Lan (Mountain Horse Teeth), Sophora Flower, Mountain Chinese Toon, Goji Greens, and Cypress Leaf (Wild Wax Herb). He later developed Fried Spicy Crisps.
This can certainly be replicated in Annan!
Although the variety of wild vegetables in Annan is not as abundant as that in the Tongbai Mountains, conventional options like Dandelion, Ma Lan (Mountain Horse Teeth), Water Radish Leaves, Sophora Flower, Xiangchun, Tender Willow Catkins, and Spicy Crisps can be vigorously developed. The market potential is evident from previous experiences.
After sharing a few drinks with Mao Weiguo and Mao Jie, Hu Ruoyun proposed this business opportunity for processing wild vegetables. From the Four Comprehensive Food Factory to the Aquaculture Industry, and later with Niu Huahua settling in Annan, followed by smooth negotiations with Yi Li… Mao Weiguo had no doubt that this project proposed by Hu Ruoyun could take root and flourish.
As he downed another drink, Mao Weiguo's face turned slightly red. “What you’re suggesting is great and quite suitable for us in Annan. While Sophora Flowers and willow catkins are highly seasonal, Spicy Crisps can be produced year-round. We can start with this product.
In spring and summer, if we can turn readily available items like Dandelion, Ma Lan (Mountain Horse Teeth), Water Radish Leaves, Sophora Flowers, Xiangchun, and Tender Willow Catkins into cash, it would be more meaningful from an agricultural benefit perspective than the establishment of Niu Huahua or Yi Li!”
“The kind of Chili Takahashi Town that produces Spicy Crisps has large-scale cultivation; peanuts are also quite common here. This can work!”
Hu Ruoyun then asked, “Uncle, the project sounds feasible, but how do you plan to implement it?”
Mao Weiguo thought for a moment. “The county will invest and directly build the factory…”
Hu Ruoyun interjected with surprising candor: “If that's the case, I suggest not to proceed; it won’t succeed!”
Mao Weiguo was puzzled. “Why not?”
Hu Ruoyun replied: “In a communal setup like that, everyone just digs into their own bowl…”
Mao Weiguo nodded in realization. “Right! That makes sense!”
He continued: “Then let private capital enter; the county will only invest and supervise the production process without managing it.”
Hu Ruoyun agreed: “That should work.”
Mao Na poured more drinks for the three of them: “Dad, Xiao Hu has given you a brilliant strategy; shouldn’t you reward him?”
Mao Weiguo took another sip of his drink. “Should I just reward you all?”
Mao Na blushed and reached to snatch the cup from Mao Weiguo’s hand. “Stop drinking; we’re discussing serious matters!”
Zhang Xiuzhen chimed in to support her daughter: “That’s enough; drink less!”
Mao Jie looked at Hu Ruoyun; Hu Ruoyun shook his head back at him, indicating he didn’t know what reward Mao Na wanted either.
Mao Weiguo set down his cup. “Listening to advice leads to fullness; I won’t drink anymore.” He turned to his daughter: “Now tell me—does Xiao Hu want a reward or do you? What kind of reward?”
Mao Na put down her chopsticks. “Strictly speaking, it’s not about Xiao Hu wanting a reward or me wanting one; I just need your help…”
“Mao Weiguo said, ‘You can discuss minor matters, but if it goes against fundamental principles, then don’t bring it up.’”
“Mao Na replied, ‘It’s not a minor issue, but it’s also not a personal matter that would make you violate your principles.’”
“‘Then go ahead and say it,’ Mao Weiguo urged.”
However, Mao Na passed the responsibility to Hu Ruoyun. “You say it; talk about Teacher Wang!”
Hu Ruoyun was taken aback that Mao Na was defending Teacher Wang.
Mao Weiguo then turned to Hu Ruoyun. “Xiao Hu, you speak.”
Regardless of whether it violated principles or not, discussing it wouldn’t be a crime.
Hu Ruoyun began to explain Teacher Wang’s situation: he was an academic star at school. Before Hu Ruoyun entered high school, Teacher Wang made a mistake during his final year at Jiangcheng Normal University, which caused him to “fall from the ivory tower” and struggle thereafter.
He worked diligently at Eight Middle School in Annan County but only earned a meager salary of a little over two hundred yuan as a substitute teacher.
He also mentioned how Teacher Wang had worked hard to secure a special admission quota for himself to attend university.
Mao Jie added from the side, “Yes, Teacher Wang also teaches our Language class. His lessons are excellent, and he is very responsible towards his students.”
Mao Weiguo pondered for a moment. “I appreciate that you’re not fighting for personal gain; that reassures me. I understand the situation now... but I cannot make any promises at this time.”
