After graduation, I went home to keep bees

A few days later, the provincial TV station helped Jiang Xiaoman get the architectural design drawings of his house. However, the project volume of his house was too small, and it was not cost-effective to find a construction contractor from the provincial capital, so Jiang Xiaoman simply looked for it in the town. A foreman was hired, labor and materials were contracted, and the project was directly contracted out.

It won't work without contracting. The honeysuckle seedlings he ordered have arrived.

In order to keep bees, he managed to convince his father that he planned to plant all the open spaces in front of and behind his house with honeysuckle.

Firstly, honeysuckle is a perennial vine flower, as long as it is planted in the first year, there is almost no need for management afterwards.

Secondly, honeysuckle has much higher economic benefits than the soybeans and sweet potatoes grown by his father. Dried honeysuckle can be sold for 80 yuan per catty. Honeysuckle is also an excellent nectar source plant.

The most important thing is that it has a long flowering period!

Well maintained, it can be opened from mid-May to late October!

Even if you don't sell honeysuckle tea, you can make money just as a nectar source for bees.

Jiang Xiaoman was looking for sources on the Internet in summer, but summer is not suitable for transplanting plants, so he made an appointment with the other party, and he will place an order and deliver the goods after autumn. Plant them this autumn, and they will bloom in May next year. up.

As soon as the store showed delivery, Jiang Xiaoman asked his father to go to the village to find some good farmers.

As soon as the flower seedlings arrive, they can be planted directly up the mountain.

Planting honeysuckle is not difficult, just like planting trees. Jiang Xiaoman bought finished seedlings with soil on their roots. He just dug a hole in the ground, applied base fertilizer, and planted the flower seedlings.

Because the family wanted to plant trees, Jiang Xiaoman went home and helped cook for a few days.

After several days of shooting small food videos, the fans were so greedy. Finally, some fans in this province released their feedback on the tea cake trial pack one after another——

"I'm a ten-year old tea lover. Brother Xiaoman's tea cakes are really amazing! The tea soup is full-bodied, slightly bitter, and the aftertaste is not obvious. It is suitable for old tea farmers. For this price, it is definitely a great value. Yes, will repurchase."

"I didn't expect to be able to buy tea cakes of this quality for 59 yuan. I was pleasantly surprised! Look at the picture, the tea soup is reddish-brown, with a mellow taste. This piece of mine should be a new tea cake made this year. It has a better aftertaste. The only fly in the ointment is that fried The heat was a bit too high when making it, and the edge of the tea leaves was a little burnt, but this just proves that the tea cake is absolutely handmade. If the tea frying process is well controlled, it should be able to reach the market price of five or six hundred kilograms .”

……

Jiang Xiaoman guessed right, not everyone can adapt to the taste of this old-fashioned tea cake. In the follow-up feedback, there are also a small number of people who snatched tea cakes. prone to insomnia.

However, fans are still very supportive of Jiang Xiaoman, and they all said in the comment area that although the tea cakes do not suit their taste, they will support other local products of his family in the future.

This is also normal.

Jiang Xiaoman also sent a private message to these fans, asking them if they want to return the tea cakes. After deducting the postage, he will refund the difference to the fans.

Unexpectedly, no one wants to return!

"Brother Xiaoman, you are too late haha, my dad took the tea cake to drink."

"Our department manager said this tea is very fragrant, so I'll give it to the manager! Brother Xiaoman, when will your family release this kind of tea cake gift box? Leave two copies for me, and give it to the manager during the Chinese New Year!"

"My grandpa said that your tea cake is so delicious, let me buy it for him again."

……

really!The older customers prefer their Langshan handmade tea cakes, alas!

However, being able to find target customers is a good thing.

After working at home for a few days and planting two thousand honeysuckle trees, Jiang Xiaoman dragged the river fish along non-stop, going door to door mobilizing left-behind mothers to make tea cakes.

The climate here in Langshan is especially suitable for the growth of tea trees, and tea can be harvested twice a year.

However, there is a big difference in the taste of tea cakes made from spring tea and autumn tea.

The tea soup in autumn tastes more bitter, and the tea in spring tastes better.

This season happened to be the season for picking autumn tea, Jiang Xiaoman planned to make a batch of autumn tea cakes first.

As for the production process of single-serve tea cakes...

Jiang Xiaoman shamelessly clung to his uncle.

"Get off! I'm busy with midterm exams, how can I have time to make tea cakes for you?" Jiang Baichuan pushed his nephew aside with a look of disgust.

"Uncle! If my tea cake business starts, the left-behind mothers in our area will be able to make money along with it. At that time, let alone boys, even girls, maybe they can go to high school and take college entrance exams." ?" Jiang Xiaoman tried his best to persuade his uncle.

Jiang Baichuan was so pestered by him that he had no choice but to agree to give it a try.

Although his uncle is a principal, in fact, to be a teacher in a village primary school, one must be proficient in all eighteen martial arts!

For example, Uncle Baichuan not only knows how to teach and educate people, but also raises pigs, farms, cooks, does simple needlework (mends clothes for students), picks tea and roasts tea, and works as a mason (repairs the old school house) )etc.

Let's put it this way, if his Uncle Baichuan went to participate in some wilderness survival show, he would probably be alive after the show was over.

Jiang Xiaoman was very relieved of his uncle!

Jiang Baichuan did not disappoint his nephew's trust.

He used wood to make a set of tea cake molds for Jiang Xiaoman.

At first glance, this mold looks a bit like the plasticine mold used by children in the city. It is about half the size of a quail egg when combined. In order for Jiang Xiaoman to see how this mold is used, Jiang Baichuan specially left a set to make it. The tea cakes were not taken out.

"Look, there is a small piece of cloth here. The small tea cake is turned upside down, and then the tea cake can be pulled out completely by pulling this piece of cloth."

As he spoke, Jiang Baichuan firmly pressed the mold with one hand, and pulled the cloth strip with the other hand, and a semi-circular cute mini tea cake popped out.

It really "popped out".

He even jumped on the table twice, and was quickly held down by Jiang Xiaoman's quick-eyed hands.

"It's cute, isn't it?" Looking at the small and cute tea cake in his hand, Jiang Xiaoman played with it curiously.

The tea cakes are only the size of a thumb. There is one small teapot for each pot, and two or three large teapots. At that time, it can be made into independent packaging, which can be opened and brewed at any time. As long as the rest is not opened, it can be stored in In a cool and ventilated place, it can be stored for a long time at room temperature.

"One piece of tea cake is about 10 grams, and a pack of 50 is exactly one catty. It is convenient to take with you when you go on a trip or something."

"That's right! I see that many retired old people on the Internet like to travel around, and they also like to go fishing and mountain climbing. Bringing this tea cake will make tea on the road much more convenient." Jiang Xiaoman nodded repeatedly, wishing he could hug Jiang Baichuan and kiss him. !

Why is his uncle so versatile?

And how good is this mold, made of wood!There is no technical content, find two carpenters, and you can make a bunch of them in a week!

Rags are even cheaper, and you can buy a lot of them for a dozen dollars online!

With the mold, Jiang Xiaoman instantly felt that he could do it again, and immediately found a carpenter to make the mold without stopping, and bought a large bag of rags online, planning to distribute them to the farmers who helped him make tea cakes.

In fact, if he didn't distribute this rag, most people would just find two old clothes and cut them up, because they can be used anyway.

But who knows if the old clothes are pants or long johns?

Jiang Xiaoman didn't dare to joke about things like food safety, so he had to buy the rags first, and distribute them along with the finished molds.

Of course, this mold is not for nothing. In order to ensure the quality of the supply, he plans to sign a contract with every farmer. Using his mold and creativity, he has to supply his family for at least three years.

As for three years later, what if these farmers want to go it alone?

Let's talk about this after three years.

Anyway, after three years, his homestay must be on the right track, and then they will raise hundreds of boxes of bumblebees with Shan Yan and the others. The money from selling honey every year is enough for him and his father to live without food and clothing. A good day to worry about.

Jiang Xiaoman has never been greedy, nor has he forgotten his original intention of giving up his job and returning to his hometown.

All he wants is to earn enough money to support his father in retirement.

He wanted to have enough money to make his father's life more decent in his later years.

It's not that he is struggling in the big city, but his father is looking forward to his son coming back to see him during the Chinese New Year day after day in the depths of the mountains...

He thought about it, if the business can grow big, then he will lead the villagers to make a fortune together, and try to make their Langshan Village as rich as Chestnut Valley.

If the folks have learned to do e-commerce, they have their own sales channels, and they don't want to supply him, but want to do it by themselves, then there is nothing to stop him.

Anyway, with the income from my own homestay and beekeeping, plus the income from operating express outlets, I can make some short videos to earn some pocket money when I have nothing to do. The expenses in the countryside are not big, and the money I earn is enough for him and his father to eat and drink. up.

With such an idea of ​​guaranteeing the bottom line, when Jiang Xiaoman signed the contract with the farmers, he became more Buddhist.

However, he is willing to suffer, but the folks can't let Principal Baichuan's nephew suffer no matter what!

Jiang Baichuan has been reluctant to get married for a long time, with the appearance of "dedicating his whole life to the great cause of education". The villagers dare not talk about it, but in fact they know in their hearts that Jiang Baichuan will probably never get married in this life. child.

A man without descendants, not even a Qi brother, in the eyes of the mountain people, is simply more pitiful than a widower whose wife died, so what if he has a salary after retirement?

To put it bluntly, Jiang Baichuan will not even be able to throw a pot for him after he dies!

But it's different now.

The villagers all noticed Jiang Baichuan's attitude towards Jiang Xiaoman, his eldest nephew.

It is generally believed that Jiang Baichuan intends to raise his nephew as half his son, and it is estimated that after a hundred years, Jiang Xiaoman will be the one who will stand by him...

Thinking about it this way, isn't Jiang Xiaoman the half-son of Principal Baichuan?

How big are they?Are you ashamed to take advantage of Principal Baichuan?

It's just that Jiang Xiaoman has already drawn up the contract, and even the molds for making new-style tea cakes have been prepared and delivered. They really want to do this business. If nothing else, the tea cakes are ready, so they don't have to work hard Kubei went to the market to sell, and Jiang Xiaoman came to collect it, and he could settle the payment for them on the spot. This was like giving them money~

Seeing that Jiang Xiaoman refused to take the money for making molds, when he was about to leave, the villagers held him and refused to let him go, because they stuffed him with a lot of local eggs, bacon, peanuts and walnuts from their own collection.

Anyway, Jiang Xiaoman's back basket was still empty when he went.

When it came back, it was basically full.

Jiang Xiaoman couldn't finish eating by himself, and even sent a lot to school.

The foundation of the new school building of Langshan Primary School has been laid, and the walls are being built now. I heard that it will be able to move back in the second semester of next year soon.

Right now, the teachers and students of the school can only be squeezed into a private house for the time being.

When Jiang Xiaoman went to deliver things, he happened to meet two new teachers who were teaching physical education to the students in the yard.

After the fierce (relationship) competition in the early stage, those who were finally assigned to the "gold-plating" of Langshan Primary School are said to be "excellent reserve talents" introduced by the city in the past two years.

One was a contract worker who was admitted to an elementary school in the city after graduating from a local secondary normal school. She was a female teacher named Yao Tiantian.

The other is a male teacher wearing glasses called Gu Qingsong, who looks about the same age as Jiang Xiaoman, who graduated from some kind of engineering college in this province. It is said that his major is not a teacher training class, but he studies some kind of engineering technology, but he seems to prefer As a teacher, I chose a major in teacher training and got a teacher qualification certificate.

Neither of these two new teachers graduated from a serious physical education major.

However, those who have graduated from a major in physical education are in high demand in the past two years, and they will not fall into the hands of Langshan Primary School.

The only gratifying thing is that Teacher Gu Qingsong has been fond of playing football since he was a child. He has always been the main force of the school football team from elementary school to university. He even participated in the football games of the provincial university games. This level is definitely enough to teach elementary school students .

Yao Tiantian is very good at table tennis. It is said that her grandma used to be a member of the provincial table tennis team. Her family has a long history of education. With such a foundation, she can teach elementary school sports.

It can be seen that the Municipal Education Bureau has indeed put a lot of thought into the selection of candidates this time.

Although the two new teachers selected came to the country primary school to be gilded, their personal professional ability is very good.

No wonder his uncle has time to help him make tea cake molds.

It seems that the arrival of the two new teachers has indeed greatly relieved Uncle Baichuan's teaching pressure! !

After a while, when Sister Caiyun returns from her maternity leave, maybe his uncle won't have to personally participate in the teaching work.This is the real principal~~
