After graduation, I went home to keep bees

Recently, Jiang Xiaoman's fans are a little bored, because their dear brother Xiaoman hangs around their stove every day.

Either cooking for the helpers, or digging bamboo shoots and picking vegetables!

Although it is still a very healing style of painting, after watching it for a long time, it seems that it has become a bit aesthetically tired...

That night, the fans received an update notification and lazily opened the video, but they didn't expect to see a large densely packed wild beehive!

The fans immediately cheered up, "Come here, come here!"

The trip to the old forest promised by Brother Xiaoman!

etc!Didn't you agree to go into the mountains to get some rare wild vegetables?

Why are you looking for Yanmi again?

The conscience of heaven and earth!This time it really wasn't Shanyan and the others looking for it on purpose!

Originally, they came here specially to find the thorn buds.

According to Ah Hu and his team's information, the return of spring is early this year, and the thorny shoots on the sunny slopes of the mountains will emerge early. If you catch a batch of stubble shoots before others, you can make a small profit.

Unexpectedly, when he came here, he could hear the buzzing of wild bees under a ridge from a distance.

Everyone turned to the bottom of the kanzi, looked up, ho!

There is a stone beam above the ridge, and under the beam hangs layers of heavy wild bee nests!

Ah Hu's excited voice split into splits: "Master! It's winter honey! The most valuable winter honey!"

This is rock honey that can only be harvested by luck in a year.

There are many kinds of plants in the Langshan area, and wild bees can forage in the wild almost all year round, so under normal local conditions, they can produce honey all year round.

But the most precious thing here is winter honey.

First of all, winter honey is scarce, and the rarest thing is the most expensive, so the price is naturally not low.

Secondly, winter honey has less water content and is very mature. It has the effects of moistening the intestines and laxative, moistening the lungs and relieving coughs. Whether it is nourishing or used as medicine, it is more valuable than spring and autumn honey.

Let's put it this way, reflecting the price, Shanyan sells rock honey outside. Spring and autumn honey is 180 yuan a catty, and winter honey can basically be sold for 280 yuan a catty.

And because winter honey is rare and hard to find, sometimes some local tyrants want to buy some as gifts, even if the price is increased to let Shanyan and the others go into the mountains to look for it, they may not be able to find much.

Anyway, on Shanyan's side, he happens to find a very small number of authentic winter honey every year. He doesn't post on Moments to solicit customers, but directly contacts those few big customers.

If they don't want it, they will sell it on the market.

With such a large piece of winter honey, they still find a thorn bud?

Even if it is the first stubble, the thorn buds can only be sold for 80 a catty at most, and the winter honey is 280 a catty, but anyone who has been in elementary school for two years knows which one to choose.

So everyone divides the work in place——

Shanyan led two people to guard here, and cut more wet firewood to prepare honey.

Together with Qingshan, Jiang Xiaoman went to his house to prepare things for camping and food supplies for a few days for a few people.

There is also a man nicknamed "Waizi", who is said to travel fast. Shanyan sent him down the mountain to find a porter he often cooperates with, and went to Shanyan's house to pick up their usual sealed barrels, tents and other big things.

Along the way, Qingshan was so excited that they jumped up and down, and even said that it had been several years since they had encountered such a large piece of winter honey.

Jiang Xiaoman was also very happy at first, but thinking about it again, such a large piece of wild bee nest, just hanging under the stone beam, has never been discovered. It can be seen that the aborigines in the depths of the mountain are really getting more and more not enough……

"Qingshan, I think you are not too young, have you ever thought of working in the city?" Jiang Xiaoman asked him curiously.

"Hey! My father died early, and my mother is the only one left in the family. My mother went to the mountains to pick up fungi a few years ago, and she broke her leg. If I go to work in the city, my mother will be at home alone. starving?"

Qingshan scratched his head and seemed a little embarrassed, "Master didn't want to accept me at first, saying that I was the only one left in my family. Going to the mountains to cut rock honey is a job that costs your life for money. According to the rules here, there is only one person in the family." Men are not accepted."

"Later, Brother Xiaoyu saw that I was pitiful, so he interceded with Master for me and let me run errands with him to earn some living expenses. Master didn't let me go to the rock wall."

Jiang Xiaoman glanced at him, and suddenly smiled and patted the messy hair on his head: "It's okay! If our bee barrels are harvested well this year, and we plant a few acres of imperial chrysanthemum next year, your income this year will , it’s no worse than a part-time job.”

What's more, those who go to the city to work, like Qingshan and the others, have no academic qualifications or special skills, and their final destination is almost always to drive screws on the assembly line.

After a month of hard work, after deducting expenses such as food and accommodation, it would be considered pretty good to be able to save [-] to [-] by the end of the year.

But staying in my hometown to start a business is different. First of all, I spend almost no money on food, drink and housing, and most of the money I earn can be saved.

Although beekeeping and flower tea planting are not lucrative industries, they are better than long streams of water, and they really need to be busy every year, only ten days and a half months, which does not delay Qingshan to follow Shanyan and the others into the mountains to find honey.

Calculated in this way, there are three incomes a year.And if it is managed well, it can still be a safe industry that will last until old age.

It’s not like going to work in a factory, where all you eat is youth food, when you get older, dizzy, dizzy, and slow, you don’t want to work in the factory anymore, why don’t you go back to the village to work in agriculture?

Having made up his mind to promote the sale of the imperial chrysanthemum, Jiang Xiaoman intentionally inquired about what each household in Laoshan'aozi usually grows along the way.

"The most common ones are yams. After all, everyone eats them at home. The rest are sweet potatoes and bracts. I don't dare to grow soybeans. Those things attract wild boars and birds. Brother Xiaoman, you know that there are many birds in the mountains now." No more beatings, everyone is protecting animals, and the beans they planted are not harvested."

"Then have you calculated how much income your family can earn a year from farming?" Jiang Xiaoman asked him.

"What kind of income can I get? Every year I raise two pigs and I have to kill my own smoked bacon. This can't be sold. There are so many yellow celestial beings in the mountains, and I dare not raise more chickens. There are only a dozen or so, and they have to be locked up at home at night." , there is only enough food for my family throughout the year.”

"The yams and sweet potato bracts I planted were stomped on by the beasts in the mountains, and what I could get back was not enough for my family. If we had to farm alone, my mother and I would have starved to death!" Qingshan hehe With a smile, "Fortunately, Master treats me well. If there is any profitable business, he will take me along and help run errands. I can earn three hundred and five hundred for one trip, which is enough for my family's living expenses for a month."

"Then it seems that you are a versatile assistant, okay! Later, if I have any work, you can help me if you have time." Jiang Xiaoman smiled.

……

We walked and chatted for more than an hour before arriving at Qingshan's house.

The location of the Qingshan family's house is really good. It is surrounded by mountains and facing water. There is a mountain stream under the ridge in front of the door. It should be quite convenient for washing and rinsing.

There is only one old woman in his family, her maiden name is Zhou. Seeing her son bringing guests back, Mrs. Zhou greeted Jiang Xiaoman to sit down with a smile, and brought him a plate of candies bought during the Chinese New Year. She still treats him like a child .

Jiang Xiaoman looked carefully, and found that Mrs. Zhou's right leg was limping when she walked. It is probably because her leg was broken and she didn't take care of it. There is only one son in the family, and there is no other family around here. Shan did not dare to go out to work.

Don't look at Mrs. Zhou who can't walk very well, but the house is tidy, and the earth rammed floor at the door is also swept clean. She looks like a woman who knows how to live.

Hearing that her son was going to take things to the mountains, she hurriedly took the key and opened the door of the next room, asking her son to move all the things out.

Shan Yan has been running mountains all year round and has rich experience. In order to prevent temporary needs for things when he is away from home, he selected several apprentices with a suitable distance, and each house stored a batch of supplies.

For example, rainproof cloths, moisture-proof mats, simple kitchen utensils, salt and sugar for building campsites.

Except for the most deadly rope, which he personally kept, other things, if needed urgently, could be picked up from the nearest house, which was much more convenient than leaving them in his house.

While her son and Jiang Xiaoman were tying things, Aunt Zhou took a vegetable basket and went to her vegetable garden to pick a basket of cabbage, a bunch of garlic sprouts and green onions, and a lot of carrots. On one end of the shoulder pole, garlic sprouts are hung on the other end.

From a distance, it looks like vegetables are growing on the pole!

Back to the place where the wild bee nest was found with big bags and small bags, Shanyan and the others had already cut down a lot of branches and were sawing wood to set up a tent.

Big trees in the mountains cannot be cut down, but no one will take care of the branches that get in the way, and some big trees can grow better if the branches and leaves are pruned properly.

What Shanyan led people to cut back were the branches of this kind of big tree. This kind of tree is actually more convenient than cutting down the tree directly. After cutting down, the small branches can be tied up to smoke wild bees. The trunk with thick arms is just right Take it to pitch a tent.

Everyone worked together to set up a temporary tent before dark, and surrounded it with wet firewood. Everyone took turns to be on duty at night. In this deep mountain and old forest, it was not so scary.

Thinking that many fans might not have seen the old forest after dark, Jiang Xiaoman also deliberately set up a tripod in the camp, planning to shoot a video of camping in the woodland, and invited Shan Yan, a senior mountain running expert, to talk to fans about the need to pay attention to camping in the wild What.

"Just don't act dead." Shan Yan concluded coldly.

Jiang Xiaoman: "..."

"Cough~Brother Yan, fans want to hear the details, how about you talk about it?" He said, and whispered coquettishly, "If this video makes money later, I will buy new dresses for my three nieces! Princess shoes! Guaranteed to be the most fashionable in our village!"

Shan Yan gave him a blank look, but as a father, he really never thought about buying skirts and princess shoes for his daughters...

Thinking of the three girls wearing new skirts and foreign-style leather shoes, maybe hugging his neck and shouting "Father is so kind", Shan Yan's cold face relaxed slightly, and finally opened his golden mouth.

It's just that he always cherishes words like gold. On the contrary, a few apprentices, after eating Jiang Xiaoman's delicious food, are a little soft-spoken. When the master said something concisely, they would rush to give examples. It's been a while, but the content of this video is full of dry goods!

Later, Jiang Xiaoman cut out this video separately and put it on several video accounts, which actually attracted many outdoor bloggers to repost it in friendship, accidentally making this video a small hit.

Jiang Xiaoman looked at the backstage income from ear to ear, and as expected, he fulfilled his promise and bought three spring princess dresses for the three Shancha sisters from the Internet, matching shoes, socks and underwear, and also bought matching headgear.

This made the three Shancha sisters shine in school and in the village!

You know, people in the mountains can wear new clothes for the New Year all year round. Even if they buy new clothes in normal times, they are more practical and resistant to dirt.

It would never be like Jiang Xiaoman, who bought the fluffy gauze with lace and rhinestones for the three Shancha sisters. Standing in the sun, the whole body was shining with the brilliance of RMB.

Going out, who in the village doesn't take a second look?

Even Mrs. Chen boasted of a small basket when she heard about it. She took a dozen eggs and apples and bananas bought on the road, and ran to Langshan Village specially, and took the three sisters to look carefully for a while. When I saw the end, I couldn't help but wiped away my tears, and sighed repeatedly——

"Okay! That's good! You three sisters must be filial to your two fathers in the future, remember?"

Seeing the three nieces standing in front of her in white and clean princess dresses, Mrs. Chen was very grateful to Shan Yan and Jiang Yu. I can finally feel relieved.

Of course, these are all for later.

In the early morning of the next day, taking advantage of the thick fog in the mountains, Shan Yan immediately led people down from behind the stone beams to the vicinity of the beehive, and first stuck the lit wet firewood in the gap next to it, and waited for the wild bees to get dizzy and escape. Go, quickly divide and cooperate, and cut down a third of the hives in one morning!

The heavy honeycomb made everyone overjoyed. This is the most valuable winter honey of the year!

They were busy harvesting honey on the top, and Jiang Xiaoman was busy making videos below.

Break off a piece of freshly cut rock honey, put it in front of the camera, and show fans what the freshly cut winter honey looks like.

"I heard from Brother Yan that winter honey is also divided into big and small years. The big year produces more honey, and the small year produces less honey. This year was originally a small year, so they didn't come to the mountains to look for honey after winter, thinking about raising it for a year. "

"I didn't expect this year to be so lucky. Although it is a small year, this piece of wild bee nest is well hidden. It is hidden under a stone beam. If you don't go down under the stone beam, you really can't find it. So this piece of wild bee nest should be in spring. No one came here to cut it, so so much honey has been saved until now.”

"Look, this honey is sticky, right? It's almost crystallized! I'll give you a taste." As he said, Jiang Xiaoman took a bite together with the honeycomb. The moment the rock honey entered the mouth, it was not pure sweet, but with a hint There is a faint bitter taste, and there is a faint taste of some herbal medicine. After chewing a few mouthfuls, the sweetness is soaked out. It is very delicious!

"The taste is not like the native honey we usually drink. That kind is ripe honey that has been filtered and precipitated. This one is mixed together. You see, the sealed honey is ripe honey, and the uncapped honey is raw honey."

"The sealed mature honey has been stored for a long time, and it has been a little semi-crystallized. It has a rusty taste, and the taste is not pure sweet, but a bit bitter. It should be the wild Chinese herbal medicine in our mountains, or the nectar of the duck's foot tree."

Jiang Xiaoman smacked his mouth a few times, and couldn't help but take another big mouthful!

It tasted a little bit bitter on the mouth, but the action was very honest, one mouthful after another, and killed a large piece of honeycomb in a short time.

Fans: "..."

what to do?Bloggers are not human, they want to get rid of fans again...
