After graduation, I went home to keep bees

I didn't see the lard I was thinking about, but only saw two feed chickens with few feathers left on their bodies. The two intern teachers were a little bit broken. Fang Xingchen had the courage to mutter in a low voice: "Didn't the school raise a lot of free-range chickens?" ? Why do you still have to go outside to buy chicken?”

"You also said that it's free-range chicken, how expensive is it? My uncle is willing to kill and eat it himself? Be content! It's good to eat chicken with fodder~" Jiang Xiaoman is like a scumbag. Began to perfunctory.

However, he speaks perfunctorily, but he never cooks perfunctorily.

Ask Jiang Baichuan to help butcher the chicken, save the chicken blood to make blood, chop the chicken into pieces, and cut half a pot of yam cubes to cook together. When the soup is bubbling, Fang Xingchen is standing in the kitchen to help shoot the video Couldn't help but wiped his saliva.

I didn't expect that this feed chicken looks quite ugly, but it looks good after it's done?

Is it more than just good looking?It's also super delicious with bibimbap, okay?

Fang Xingchen and Chu Mengluan were really delicious at that time, and they ate with relish while holding rice bowls as big as their heads.In addition to fried chicken nuggets with yams, Jiang Xiaoman also fried a plate of sauerkraut with chicken xuewang and chicken giblets. You can also eat leeks from the vegetable garden. Cut two handfuls and fry a scrambled egg with leeks. The home-grown leeks taste delicious It's even more fragrant than the ones sold in the vegetable market. I don't know if it's an illusion. Even Chu Mengluan, who used to be the least fond of leeks, couldn't help but pick up a few chopsticks and scrambled eggs with leeks.

"I also marinated a pot of fish cubes for you. You can't eat them directly. You have to marinate them until tomorrow. When you eat them, take them out and wash them, wash off the salt on them, and spread them directly on the plate. Cut some ginger and scallions. Drizzle with some rapeseed oil and steam it. If you want to eat something with a strong taste, you can also add two spoonfuls of fermented soybeans to make steamed fish nuggets with fermented soybeans. Anyway, you can figure it out.”

After explaining the dishes to be cooked tomorrow, Jiang Xiaoman carried the shopping on his back and went up the mountain with a chicken in each hand—he still temporarily fostered the rest of the chickens at the school, and when his father was free, he brought the cages over Pick up the tone.

Living in the mountains is just this inconvenient, Jiang Xiaoman thought, when they have money, they still have to follow the example of Chestnut Ditch and build a zipline up the mountain, which is also very convenient for carrying things.

The appointment with Mrs. Chen was after two o'clock in the afternoon. Jiang Xiaoman took the things home, and carried a can of lard and a large bag of wild vegetables from the mountain to school. This lard was when his family slaughtered pigs last year. After boiling, there is still a lot left. Life in the mountains is hard. When making vegetable and egg soup, it is very happy to be able to put a spoonful of lard. This is used for two intern teachers.

The wild vegetables were dug out by the way when he was weeding in the tea garden of his family. They hadn’t been picked yet, and they were mixed with the weeds. It doesn't hurt to feed the pigs if it is broken.

Seeing Jiang Xiaoman dump a large bag of wild vegetables mixed with weeds on the ground like pigweed, the corners of Jiang Baichuan's mouth twitched a few times, Fang Xingchen had already rushed to the office to get a tripod.

"Cut so many purslane, and you want to harm my flour? Make steamed buns or vegetable dumplings? I didn't buy meat, just pack purslane?" Jiang Baichuan said in a strange way.

In the past, he bought two bags of flour, enough to feed the whole school for two months. Since Jiang Xiaoman came back, his two bags of flour are not enough for half a month, you prodigal son!

"Hey~ Let me borrow your big steamer to steam some vegetable dumplings." Jiang Xiaoman chuckled, and took out his own lard and a large piece of marinated wild pork from the back basket. He didn't bring flour. Well, Jiang Baichuan and the others also want to eat, how can they not eat rice for nothing?Principal Jiang must be caught and squeezed out a lot of wool!

Jiang Baichuan clutched his chest in distress and went back to the office. Recently, he had a new problem, that is, he couldn't watch his nephew Jiang Xiaoman cook, and he always felt that his family would be eaten up by this prodigal son in the next second...

Set up a tripod and pointed the camera at the wild vegetables on the ground. The two trainee teachers also squatted down to help pick wild vegetables together. This job is too strange for them who grew up in the city, especially listening to Jiang When Xiao Man talked about how to eat this wild vegetable and how to eat that wild vegetable, his mouth was watering.

"Okay, I'll teach you everything you can eat. You pick it first, and take it to the sink to wash it. I'll go and cut the bacon." Jiang Xiaoman stood up.

It is said to "try not to harm President Jiang's flour bag", how is it possible?

Jiang Xiaoman estimated the number of vegetable dumplings to be made today, scooped out half a basin of flour, and thought of his uncle's painful face, he couldn't help pursing his lips.

I forgot to tell his uncle just now that although the background creation income of their video account has not increased sharply these days, they still have two to three hundred yuan a day. That is to say, as long as they persist, people continue to follow their videos Now that I have bought flour, I have enough money to buy meat.

Peel the marinated wild boar from home and cut it into dices. Because it has been marinated, there is no need to add salt, just sprinkle some pepper and chili powder to taste, and chop half a bowl of garlic and put it go in.

At this time, the wild vegetables were washed, Jiang Xiaoman boiled half a pot of water, and put the wild vegetables in to blanch.

The wild vegetables in this season have no worms, and generally have a special smell. They need to be blanched first, and then put in cold water to rub and wash repeatedly to remove the water, so that the treated wild vegetables are delicious.

Seeing that Chu Mengluan was eager to try, Jiang Xiaoman smiled, and asked her to come over and help chop up the wild vegetables, mix the chopped wild vegetables with diced bacon, and then wrap them in the dough. Unlike making steamed buns, vegetable dumplings are very simple , just wrap the stuffing with dough and knead it into a ball the size of a fist.

"Try both of you. I'll go out and pick some mulberry leaves. I can't steam this thing without mulberry leaves." Jiang Xiaoman went out with a bamboo basket, and came back with a big basket of fresh mulberry leaves after a while. Clean and set aside to drain.

The finished vegetable dumplings should be placed on the mulberry leaves one by one, and then steamed in a steamer. The vegetable dumplings made in this way are very convenient to eat and not easy to reveal the stuffing.

As soon as the mulberry leaves were washed, Mrs. Chen came over.

"Oh! Are you steaming vegetable dumplings? I also brought over the tofu cakes." Sister-in-law Chen smiled and opened the basket in her hand, which was wrapped in a cage cloth. When the cage cloth was opened, there were dark green ones arranged neatly. Round cakes.

This kind of cake is collectively called Baba here. The outer skin is made of glutinous rice. The juice made from fresh mugwort leaves and glutinous rice noodles are used to make the dough. In a different way, Mrs. Chen made minced meat and tofu stuffing with diced bamboo shoots in it today.

"I brought a lot of Baba, Xiaoman, you can take half of it back home to taste with your father, and give the rest to the principal and two teachers to taste." Like most people in the mountains, Mrs. Chen respects the teachers of the school very much. , I often make delicious food and don’t forget to bring some to the teachers.

Jiang Xiaoman was not polite to her, thanked her with a smile, wiped his hands with a rag, and took Mrs. Chen to find his uncle.

Uncle Baichuan also knew that Sister-in-law Chen's son was going to be in the first grade next semester. He heard that she wanted to send the child to an interest class in advance. After thinking about it, he explained the situation clearly to her——

"You can come, but there is no life teacher in the school now, and you haven't been to the first grade. We can take care of the discipline. In life, you have to go back and teach him, go to the toilet, cook meals, wash dishes, and tidy up tables and chairs. , You can’t disturb others even if you take a nap, if you can do it, bring it with you.”

"Let's talk about it first. If it affects the teaching progress of other students, we can only go home and wait. In fact, there is no need to rush to enlightenment. We also have cultural and sports courses in the first grade."

Jiang Baichuan can actually understand the feelings of these parents, especially those whose birthdays are close to September [-]st, who are almost a year younger than their children of the same age, and who can easily fail to keep up with their mentality and living habits. It's not difficult to do in the city, just spend money on a junior high school transition, and get used to it in advance.But where can they find transitional classes for young children in this ravine?

However, according to Mrs. Chen, she wanted to send her son, or was she here for their new physical education teacher?Want to learn from others?

Sister-in-law Chen doesn't care about this, anyway, Jiang Baichuan has already agreed, what kind of living habits, her son can even feed pigs, wash dishes and pick vegetables at home, so what else to worry about?

The only worry is that the child is too energetic. He usually doesn't take a nap at home, and he doesn't know if he can sit still at school.Mrs. Chen made up her mind, she would scare her when she went back, and said that children who did not take a nap in the afternoon were not allowed to play football, to see if he still dared to move?

When Mrs. Chen was busy with the children's schooling, Jiang Xiaoman couldn't wait to look at the hand-embroidered shoes he had ordered before. He had never learned embroidery, and he didn't know how to make shoes at all, but this did not affect his basic skills. aesthetic.These embroidered shoes are made with a lot of thought from the stitching alone, and the soles sewn with thousand-layer soles are also very solid, which are completely different from the ancient embroidered shoes with rubber or tendon soles on the market.

"Embroidery is very fast, but for this shoe sole, stitch by stitch is really too slow, and it's too painful. Several of them asked me to ask, can I buy that kind of ready-made rubber sole?" Sister-in-law Chen slightly He glanced at him apprehensively.

It was very difficult for her to negotiate terms with someone for the first time in business, but what they said made sense. The soles of these shoes are all hand-sewn, and the labor cost alone is worth a lot of money. At the current price, everyone is doing nothing.

"Well, I'll look back and ask, and then re-price according to everyone's working hours. If you are willing to buy this kind of handmade cloth shoes with a layered sole, I will try my best to get you a reasonable price. If you don't mind using rubber soles, we can also make small profits. More sales." Jiang Xiaoman also felt that this problem must be solved, after all, he is not the one who actually makes shoes with needles and threads, and he can't open up the market by stepping on the blood and sweat of the villagers.

This time Mrs. Chen brought a total of more than 30 pairs of mille-ply bottom embroidered shoes, and two red hijabs, which were specially customized by two young ladies who are going to get married in the second half of the year. They are all embroidered with golden silk thread. Very delicate.

Jiang Xiaoman took out his mobile phone and took detailed pictures and videos of these finished products. He planned to release a video of the first phase of delivery. The key point was to develop the "advanced customization" market. Layer-soled cloth shoes are exquisite and durable. Girls don’t often wear Hanfu nowadays. If you order a pair, if they are well maintained, they can be worn for more than ten years without breaking. Jiang Xiaoman thinks it's a good deal for a cup of milk tea to exchange for a pair of exquisite and high-end hand-embroidered shoes.

Although his family is poor, he also likes to buy the branded shoes and clothes that are on sale in shopping malls. The price is actually not much more expensive than the miscellaneous brands on the market, but a pair of shoes can be worn for several years, unlike he used to I bought the cheap ones at the night market, and I wore them for a few months at most. Either the soles were broken, or the threads were peeled off. I didn’t buy brand promotional items to save money.

Even a boy like him thinks so, let alone a girl who is better at living on a budget than them.

In any case, this is a path that he has to explore. If he simply competes for cost performance, he will definitely not be able to compete with those who make factory assembly lines.

"If it doesn't work, I can only take everyone to beekeeping." Jiang Xiaoman thought about the way out for himself, and suddenly felt that there was nothing to be afraid of. Taking a step back, he still has Tang Xinlan's meditation homestay project.

So people just can't bear to talk about it. He just thought of Tang Xinlan and received a call from her at night.
