After graduation, I went home to keep bees

"Yes, I was just going to ask you and Brother Shanyan, is the production of rock honey in your village high now?"

When it comes to making money, Jiang Xiaoman's eyes light up!

"Brother Xiaoyu, you don't know. There are also many fans asking me under the previous video, when will this rock honey be on the shelves. If you want to sell it, give me the quantity and price, and I will help you hang the little yellow car!"

"By the way, food samples have to be sampled and sent to the county for testing. Only after getting the test report can they be sold online." Jiang Xiaoman quickly explained.

In fact, even if Jiang Yu didn't come to ask about this matter, he planned to ask them when he was free in two days.

After all, who would think that the sales channels are too wide?

Shanyan himself said that it is too slow to rely on old customers and old customers to bring new ones. It usually takes more than half a year to sell all the rock honey harvested in one season. Fortunately, the pure rock honey has a long shelf life, otherwise they would have already sold out. starving.

"Of course it would be best to sell it online. I'm just worried that the price of our rock honey is too expensive, which is incomparable with the price of honey on the market."

Jiangyu is very realistic, they are in this line of business themselves, and they must know what is going on in the market now than Jiang Xiaoman, and they also know that there are too few target customers for real wild rock honey.

"Give it a try. Anyway, long-distance transport of honey won't spoil it. You can sell as much as you can." Jiang Xiaoman didn't intend to make money, but just wanted to help Jiang Yu and the others.

"That can't make you work for nothing," Jiang Yu glanced at Shanyan, turned his head and said, "Well, we will give you 70 yuan a catty for the traditional honey, and [-] yuan for the old nest honey. If you sell it at a low price, at least you have to earn your Internet access fee? Otherwise, I would rather sell it slowly by myself."

Jiang Xiaoman thought for a while, and readily agreed.

Anyway, starting from the second half of the year, their family will also sell local specialty honey, and it’s okay to add high-end rock honey.

After talking about serious matters, Jiang Xiaoman's tea was ready.

In order to entertain the guests, Jiang Youliang deliberately turned out the old tea cakes that he had treasured at home.

The Jiang family is the same as the chestnut ditch and Hongni ditch. Their ancestors are mountain people. In the early years, the source of income of the mountain people was nothing more than hunting, gathering herbs, and making tea.

Picking tea in spring, making tea cakes, and making tea cakes that can last for long periods of time are transported outside the mountains, which is the biggest income for the mountain people every year.

Later, it may be because the beverages on the market became more popular, and the traditional tea cakes were replaced by novelty milk teas. Especially after the reform and opening up, the younger generation went to the city to work, or like Jiang Xiaoman, who was admitted to university and left the mountains. He basically didn't come back, let alone learn how to make tea cakes, Jiang Xiaoman couldn't do it anyway.

But he still knows how to make tea, because his father likes to drink tea made from tea cakes, and because there are guests coming today, Jiang Xiaoman even made a pot of tea eggs with the leftovers of tea leaves, and brought out peanuts, melon seeds, rice cakes, etc. to treat the guests .

"Xiaoman, you are too polite." Jiang Yu was a little embarrassed, because when Jiang Xiaoman went to their house last time, his house only had herbal tea and nothing was prepared.

"Aren't you also being polite to me? If you come to help with work and bring fish and meat, don't bring it next time." Jiang Xiaoman said with a smile.

"Next time I won't be polite to you guys. This time it's different. It's the first time I'm here as a guest. If I don't prepare anything, my father will beat me up."

The three of them sat down, drank tea and ate snacks. Jiang Xiaoman was going to deal with the fish, and Jiang Yu rolled up his sleeves to help. Killing fish is an ancestral craft of their riverside people!

Even Shan Yan was not idle, seeing a pile of freshly picked firewood piled up under the wall of Jiang's courtyard, he asked Jiang Xiaoman for an axe, and helped him chop up these bundles of firewood and pile them up, so that they could be dried in the sun. Then you can take it directly to cook.

"Huh? Xiaoman, why is there manure piled up under the wall of your courtyard? Do you want to plant flowers?" While killing fish, Jiang Yu couldn't help asking curiously when he saw a neat line of manure piled up under the wall of Jiang's courtyard.

"Where~ My dad wants to plant konjac inside and outside the yard." Jiang Xiaoman laughed when he said this.

"Didn't I help the village sell konjac online some time ago? You don't know, the konjac we buy for a few cents can be sold online for more than three yuan."

"In our village primary school at the foot of the mountain, my uncle Jiang Baichuan is the principal of the school. They planted a row of konjac under the wall last year. This year they sold konjac for tens of thousands of yuan! Konjac is also planted inside and outside the courtyard wall, my yard is big, next year I can sell konjac for a lot of money."

"Really? Konjac is so valuable? Then we will grow some more in the future, but the walls of your house are bare, so planting konjac is really nice, and it can be sold for money." Jiang Yu was very moved when he heard about making money. interest.

He and Shanyan will never have children in this life, so he plans to save more pension money while he is young, so that he will not have to worry about food and drink when he is old.

"Okay! I think the road on your side is okay. It will be enough to spend a few thousand yuan to repair a zipline to the village down the mountain. It is also convenient to transport things up the mountain."

Jiang Xiaoman felt that he could really do this.

Among other things, there are so many mountainous lands on the Laoshan'aozi side, and there are many abandoned land after the village moved out. If Jiang Yu really wants to do this konjac business, he can contract all the abandoned land at the foot of the mountain.

Moreover, konjac can also be interplanted with other economic tree species in the forest, which means that one piece of land has two incomes.

The two money lovers couldn't stop talking about making money, and their hands were not idle. Jiang Yu helped kill the fish and chopped it into pieces. Jiang Xiaoman went into the kitchen to take out the cutting board and seasonings, and took the kitchen's largest Come out of a wooden basin, match the seasoning, mix the fish pieces evenly and marinate in the wooden basin, and it will be smoked tomorrow.

The remaining six big fish heads couldn't be stewed in one pot. Jiang Xiaoman thought for a while, and saved the largest fish head to make pepper fish head. He picked three more meaty fish heads, took them apart, and soaked them for a while. Sweet potato vermicelli, ready to make a stewed fish head vermicelli.

This noodle is made from the sweet potatoes grown in his own family, and it tastes very delicious.

There are also two fish heads to stew with tofu, plus roasted duck with dried bamboo shoots, roasted pork belly with dried plums, and finally stir-fried two vegetarian dishes, which is enough for the four of them.

Jiang Youliang went out to release the wild boar traps, and came back after a long time. When he got home, he had a bad look on his face: "The traps were put out late! The wild boars gnawed a large piece of the tender beans on the mountain behind our house! This plague-stricken brute!"

As he said that, he took off the soybean seedlings on his back. When he saw the guests coming, he greeted Shan Yan and Jiang Yu and asked them to stay at home for a few more days. Together, Yan helped Jiang Youliang pick off the uneaten soybeans left on the soybean seedlings.

These soybeans had turned from green to yellow, and they were not fully mature, so they couldn't be stored after being picked and dried. No wonder Jiang Youliang was so angry.

"Forget it dad, when the weather gets colder, I'll buy some honeysuckle and daisy seedlings, and later we'll plant flowers in the area behind the mountain, and we'll go raise bees! These flowers won't be eaten by wild boars, right?" Jiang Xiaoman comforted His father.

"You child! How can you grow flowers with good land?" Jiang Youliang couldn't help scolding.

"Father, can you be reasonable? How much can you sell these beans a year? Just add up the land behind our mountain, and if you add up several pieces of land, it will cost you at most 2000 yuan a year, right? When the wild boar ruined it."

"Growing flowers is different. The honeysuckle and wild chrysanthemums can be sold for money after drying them. Adding the money from selling honey, you can earn tens of thousands of yuan a year at least. Dad, our house is upstairs. Those two floors are still waiting for money to be renovated."

As soon as this remark came out, Jiang Youliang fell silent immediately.

Yes, how can beans be worth as much as honey?

It's not like before. As long as he and his son don't starve to death, they can grow whatever they want.

In the future, there will still be more places to spend money at home. After the house is renovated, seeing that my son is getting older, I have to save a large sum of money for my son to marry a wife.

Why!It seems that to make money, you still have to listen to your son.

Speaking of beekeeping, Jiang Youliang happened to be here with professional technicians, so Jiang Youliang pulled Shan Yan and asked him why there were several bee buckets at home, but they couldn't attract bees.

Shanyan saw that there was nothing wrong with him here, so he simply followed Jiang Youliang to the mountains to have a look.

Jiang Yu seized the opportunity to learn how to cook from Jiang Xiaoman, no, make Hu spicy soup.

"This is really super simple!" Jiang Xiaoman was helpless, and wanted to complain about what kind of spicy soup to drink on a hot day, but he couldn't help it. The guests loved it, and he, the host, had nothing else to say about a bowl of spicy soup. no?

As he said that, Jiang Xiaoman took out the bag containing Hu spicy soup base at home, scooped out four spoonfuls, and put them in the soup pot.

"Cold water must be added to this, so that the cooked Hu spicy soup is delicious." Jiang Xiaoman said and began to slice the meat again.

After the thin slices of meat are cut, add shredded ginger, a little cooking wine, white vinegar, light soy sauce, and starch for a few moments, wait for the water in the pot to boil, and sprinkle them evenly into the pot.

"My father doesn't like to eat thin Hu spicy soup, so every time I make it at home, I will add ingredients for him. You can add sliced ​​meat or other dishes you like. If it is more difficult to cook, you can add it. You have to cook it before adding it.”

The thin slices of meat were put into the pot, and they were cooked in a short time. Jiang Xiaoman quickly cracked three free-range eggs, smashed them and poured them in. The golden egg flower floated up instantly, and then quickly poured in a spoonful of sesame oil, Sprinkle with chopped green onion, and a pot of hot and spicy soup is ready.

"It's really simple." Jiang Yu nodded, indicating that his eyes had learned.

As for whether the hands have learned?

He planned to borrow Xiaoman's pot and stove tomorrow to try it out.

The rest of the dishes, Jiangyu, can’t help much. In fact, it’s not difficult to learn to cook. The main reason is that people in the mountains usually have a lot of work at home and don’t have time to think about what to eat. Artichokes, fish cubes and tofu, basically those are the same.

Unlike Jiang Xiaoman, there are all kinds of seasonings for cooking in a row!

At noon, Jiang Xiaoman cooked a table full of good dishes. In the middle was a shallow pottery plate, which contained fish heads with chopped peppers. The bright red chopped peppers were evenly spread on the fish heads. The fish meat was white and tender, and the soup was delicious.

Jiang Xiaoman broke off a handful of fresh lettuce leaves and put them under the plate when the stewed fish head noodles were taken apart. It was beautiful and delicious.

The stewed tofu with fish head is different from the braised sauce they often eat. It has a Sichuan flavor made with green peppercorns. This is what Jiang Xiaoman learned from a chef from Sichuan in the cafeteria before going to college. It is fragrant and spicy, especially for dinner!

Dried bamboo shoots roasted duck is made of bamboo shoots. The meat is plump and tender, soaking up the duck's soup, and the dried bamboo shoots are more delicious than duck.

Stewed pork belly with dried plums and vegetables. The dried plums and vegetables inside are oily and look greasy, but they actually taste very delicious.

With a few vegetarian dishes left, Jiang Xiaoman made a plate of cold tomatoes, a plate of stir-fried amaranth, and a plate of cold Zhe Ergen, all of which are seasonal dishes of this season.

Jiang Yu likes to eat the cold Zhe Ergen he made very much. He often eats this stuff at home, but he always feels that it is not as delicious as Jiang Xiaoman's.

Jiang Xiaoman smiled, turned on his phone and recommended a cooking app to him: "Actually, I was messing around with the recipes myself, but some masters on the Internet will really teach you a lot of secret recipes. The sauce for my cold salad is from the Internet. I learned it, the blogger said that this sauce is delicious when mixed with shoe soles, I have tried it, and the cold Zhe Ergen, preserved egg tofu, arugula and so on are all delicious.”

Jiang Youliang also took out a bottle of wine and poured it for Shan Yan and Jiang Yu. Jiang Xiaoman was not used to drinking strong alcohol, so he opened a bottle of beer to accompany him. The four of them ate and drank, unconsciously. I finished eating a table full of dishes.

In fact, it looks like there are many fish heads, but there is not much meat that can be eaten, so we can eat fresh meat during the slack season. When we are busy, let alone stewed fish heads, we can’t even eat a mouthful of hot rice.

Jiang Xiaoman enjoyed eating with the guests, but it was hard for a group of fans who watched short videos at night. The table was full of farm food, which looked super delicious!

The impatient fans have already paused the video and went to order takeaway, and the passers-by who got the automatic recommendation brush couldn't help but follow.

I don't know why, but the video made by Jiang Xiaoman has no technical content, no script, and no so-called hot spots, everyone just watched it with great interest.

Many fans who inadvertently brushed in and became fans said: This rural Xiaoman brother is absolutely poisonous!When I saw his video, I couldn't help but want to watch all the videos in front of him again, and I won't get tired of doing it twice or three times.
