Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

The condition of the county guest house is good, otherwise Qu Jiacheng wouldn't be able to arrange Xu Shiyan's family here.

Xu Shiyan asked for two rooms, Xu Chenghou and his wife brought the two boys, and Xu Shiyan and his wife took the two daughters, so it is more reasonable to live in this way.

Everyone got up early to go up the mountain, wandered around Qingshangou for a long time in the middle, and drove for such a long time in the afternoon, it is true that they are a little tired.

Lying in bed, I really don't remember much.

At around 5:30, Qu Jiacheng and Gao Mingyuan came to the county guest house.

Other cadres from the county, as well as people from the Agriculture Bureau and Commerce Bureau sent by the city came here together.

The director of the Agriculture Bureau met Xu Shiyan at the Fusong Ginseng Festival.

Last year, through him, Xu Shiyan bought a lot of sea fish, prawns, etc. from the seaside of Dandong. He also sent Xu Shiyan frozen crabs and some dried seafood.

This time, when they heard that Xu Shiyan was coming, the other party asked for orders to come to pick up Xu Shiyan.

I just want to catch up with Xu Shiyan, and ask if we can cooperate again this year.

When everyone met, Qu Jiacheng introduced each other, and Xu Shiyan shook hands with each other one by one.

Over there, they bought some things for Xu Chenghou's old couple and their four children.

It's hard for Xu Shiyan to say no to it. People have said that this is for the elderly and children.

I have no choice but to accept it and return the gift when I have a chance in the future.

Everyone, it's getting late, so that's it, let's go down to eat and chat while eating.

Qu Jiacheng saw that the room was not big, and the room was crowded with people, how about sitting down in the restaurant downstairs and chatting?

Yes, yes, you see, I am so happy to see Mr. Xu.

Let's go, let's go downstairs for dinner, there's nothing too good in the local area, just don't be disgusted with Mr. Xu.

Secretary Yan, the top leader in the county, laughed when he heard Qu Jiacheng's words.

In this way, a group of people went downstairs to the restaurant of the guest house.

They specially ordered two tables of dishes, one for Zhou Guilan, Su Anying's mother-in-law and children.

Xu Chenghou was supposed to sit with Xu Shiyan, Qu Jiacheng and others.

Xu Chenghou felt that he was getting old, he didn't drink alcohol, and he couldn't talk to those cadres, so he shirked a few words and sat at another table.

The food is very rich, not to mention the delicacies of mountains and seas, but it is almost the same.

There are several kinds of fish alone, such as Aohua, heavy lips, and thin scales, all of which are well-known local freshwater fish.

There is also a small fish that is stewed with sauce.

As soon as Zhou Guilan saw it, she said that it was called Hong Niangzi, a unique fish in Kuandian, and it tastes best when it is stewed with sauce.

Needless to say, thin scales used to be eaten in the big house.

At that time, Xu Shiyan met Guo Shouye through the thin scale fish and earned living expenses.

Aohua is one of the three flowers and five Luos. The meat is tender and plump, especially the steamed Aohua, which is extremely delicious.

According to Xu Chenghou and the others, those heavy lips are called Chongchong in local dialect.

The mouth of the insect fish is the most delicious, and this fish has a nourishing effect.

In addition to fish, there are also tree chickens, which are also known as dragon birds.

The dragon meat called the dragon meat in the sky and the donkey meat on the earth is this thing.

Feilong stewed soup is delicious without any seasoning.

In addition, there are beef, mutton, etc., which can be said to be flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and running on the ground.

Although most of these things are also available at the other end of the house, they have carefully prepared them, and you can tell that they are intentional at a glance.

Look, isn't this causing trouble to Brother Yan and Brother Qu again?

This table dish costs a lot of money. Xu Shiyan said politely.

So what's the trouble? The main reason is that I don't know what uncles and aunts like to eat. These are the favorite foods of our local people.

I was thinking, my uncle and aunt have been away from home for many years, and they must also be thinking about it, so I can taste the taste of our hometown.

It is a pity that there are no tussah silkworms at this time.

If there is such a thing, I have to make a whole plate, let my uncle and aunt taste it, it is a good thing.

The tussah silkworm mentioned by Qu Jiacheng is also called mountain silkworm.

Eating oak leaves, the ribbons spit out have a natural yellow color.

There used to be many farmers in Kuandian who raised tussah silkworms. Before Zhou Guilan married into Xu's family, she also raised tussah silkworms in her natal family.

The flesh of this tussah silkworm is relatively firm and tastes particularly delicious.

Generally, we wait for the tussah silkworms to grow up and catch some before they spin silk and form cocoons.

Holding the silkworm with one hand, the index finger of the other hand pushed the silkworm's head back forcefully, and the green intestines came out.

This process is also called a gelding by some people.

The tussah silkworms that have been steered are scalded to death in hot water. They can be fried and eaten directly, or wrapped in noodles and fried, or chopped to make dumplings. They are all very fragrant.

Moreover, tussah silkworm has high nutritional value, which is very good for children.

Spring silkworms cocoon in late June, and it's already mid-July, and there really aren't any.

Oh, don't worry about it.

Although I have never seen tussah silkworms, my mother always said that they were raised at home before.

It's not easy to grow this thing, and it's quite expensive. When Xu Shiyan heard this, he waved his hands quickly.

Breeding tussah silkworms is different from silkworms.

Mulberry silkworms are raised at home, and a separate house is set aside, and the mulberry leaves are picked and fed back, so silkworms are also called silkworms.

Tussah silkworms are called mountain silkworms, which need to be raised in the forest.

Large areas of oak forests start to release silkworms when the leaves of the oak trees are young, and they are harvested after cocoons form in late June.

Tussah silkworms are plump and delicious, and are the favorite of many birds.

Therefore, when stocking tussah silkworms, we must pay attention to driving away birds, otherwise, it is easy to kill the whole mountain farm by birds.

Xu Shiyan heard from Zhou Guilan that it was very hard to raise silkworms in the past, and he had to go to release silkworms and drive birds every morning.

Some people specialize in keeping guns, and when they see a flock of birds coming, they fire two shots to scare the birds away.

Those who don't have guns can only use slingshots to fight. After a season of hard work, they can harvest silkworm cocoons and sell them for some money.

That's right, we have fewer silkworm farmers now, and they are too tired to make money. Qu Jiacheng sighed.

During the glorious period of Kuandian tussah silkworm, it could be supplied to many cities in Northeast China, and even sold to the capital.

It’s no longer possible now, most people are thinking about going to work in the factory, who is willing to spend so much effort to raise tussah silkworms in the morning and night.

Brother Xu, I heard that you sell ginseng very well and make a lot of money.

In fact, we also have ginseng here.

For example, in Shizhuzi Village, there is Shizhu ginseng, which is famous all over the country.

Ordinary garden ginseng is also planted, but the area is not so large.

I was thinking about discussing with you, I bought some ginseng seeds from you in autumn, how about vigorously developing ginseng here?

Yan Shaoqing asked Xu Shiyan tentatively.

Ginseng is also produced in Kuan and Huan, but due to the limited terrain, the yield of ginseng here is low, and the planting area is not large, so the ginseng industry has not been able to develop.

The cadres in the county felt that ginseng was quite profitable.

If the county increases support, gives more preferential policies, learns from Fusong, and builds up the industry, it can drive the local people to become rich.

They have the idea, but are not sure how to implement it.

I happened to meet Xu Shiyan today, knowing that Xu Shiyan is an expert in ginseng production-related industries, so I asked Xu Shiyan for advice.
