After graduation, I went home to keep bees

The whole afternoon, Jiang Xiaoman was busy grinding soybean milk and making tofu. He also hung two thin bamboo poles at the door to dry a lot of tofu skins that were fished out when making tofu. The yard is full of unique soy products. fragrance.

The father and son ate breakfast late, and the meal at noon was embarrassing.

Let's cook, I can't eat.

Don't do it, you won't be able to hold on until dinner.

Fortunately, Jiang Xiaoman was making tofu in the afternoon. When the second pot came out, it was around three o'clock. Guessing that his father was also hungry, he simply fried the toppings with pork head meat, eggs and chopped peppers, and took two enamel large The rice bowl came out, filled with more than half of the bowl of tofu nao, poured thick toppings on top, and eating a large bowl of fragrant, not to mention how comfortable it was.

The most important thing is that the tofu brain is easy to digest. Regardless of how much they eat, they digest it quickly, so they don't delay dinner at all.

"Your uncles are right, I'm starting to enjoy the blessings of my son!" Wiping his mouth contentedly, Jiang Youliang went to get a hoe from the eaves of the porch, "I'm going to dig the field of the shack, Bury some pig manure in there, try to plant mung beans before dark, and have dinner later in the evening."

"Got it dad, hurry up and get busy, I'm making tofu right now." Jiang Xiaoman waved his hand, he was busier than his dad.

It's been too long since I made tofu by myself. Jiang Xiaoman didn't grasp the amount of beans for a while. The soybeans were soaked too much. After thinking about it, he simply made all of them. Small pieces, put them in the freezer and freeze them solidly. Usually, you can cook meat or make a hot pot, and you can eat them right away. This is much more convenient than going down the mountain to buy tofu.

When making tofu, he still didn’t forget to take a video. As a food blogger who drives ducks to the shelves, Jiang Xiaoman’s short food videos are actually more like him chatting about the trivialities of life alone——

"When I was young, my family was really poor and couldn't afford meat. My father thought of a way. He went to a store selling stewed vegetables and spent one yuan to buy a pot of stewed soup that they didn't want, and then bought two pieces of tofu. Cut the tofu into pieces, soak it in the stewed soup for half a day, and then cook it, the tofu has the aroma of stewed meat, it is very delicious!"

"My father is a handicapped party haha, he can't make tofu himself, and then I learned it, and our family can even save money on buying tofu~"

"Yesterday I took you to see the konjac digging place. Under the konjac is the dry land where my family grows soybeans. It is too difficult to grow some soybeans in the mountains. When they are tender, hedgehogs and rabbits come to steal them. It is hard to wait until the soybeans are mature. The wild boar They come down the mountain to eat them again, even the squirrels around my house like to come to my field to steal soybeans!"

"However, the small local soybeans grown in my home don't look big, but they taste really delicious, especially when used to make tofu. Unfortunately, you can't smell the smell through the screen. My house is now full of beans. I bought a lot of stewed ingredients online, and in the evening, take out the leftover frozen chicken legs from the banquet, and make some dried tofu to make a pot of stewed meat, hehe..."

Unbearable!

Fans who saw this video yelled in the comment area: "You have the ability to build a new house, and you have the ability to open a homestay?"

You can’t eat it through the screen, but when you live in your house, you can always eat the small ground tofu you made yourself, right?

And that tofu nao woo woo~ just looking at the topping is delicious, it's not as good as the toppings blended with seasoning packets in the breakfast shop?

want to eat!Please open a shop~

Jiang Youliang planted mung bean seeds on that spot, and took a handful of zigzag roots that he picked up from the ground to the sink at the door and washed them clean. He went into the house and took a look, good guy!The big pots and small buckets are full of tofu!

"You don't want that arm anymore, do you?" Jiang Youliang went over to help his son move firewood, dumbfounded.

Jiang Xiaoman was tired all afternoon, and really didn't have the energy to cook, so he simply added a pot of yam cubes to the pork head meat that had been disassembled during the day, and fried it together, and made a pot of yam stewed rice with vegetables and rice.

The pork head meat has been marinated. The rice has the unique salty taste of bacon, and the yams are soft and sticky, which is very delicious.

A pot of yam stewed rice, a plate of cold folded ears, and a plate of cooked and cut pig ears, the father and son's dinner was handled like this.

After eating, Jiang Youliang went outside and brought in a bundle of grass, cut off the ends, leaving only the middle section, and placed it on the bamboo plaque.

Jiang Xiaoman boiled the tofu in water for a while, took it out and drained it, cut it into mahjong-sized pieces, placed each piece on a bamboo plaque with an interval of five centimeters, and finally covered it with a bamboo curtain. Now the weather is suitable for making moldy tofu. White hairs grow on Tiantofu, which can be marinated.

For the remaining fresh tofu, Jiang Xiaoman didn't make frozen tofu anymore, but put it in a clean wooden barrel and poured mountain spring water. The temperature is low after nightfall in the mountains, and the tofu will not be spoiled overnight if it is kept in water like this .

"Dad, come down the mountain with me tomorrow. Let's send this tofu and the konjac tofu we made earlier to Uncle Baichuan. The eggs at home have also been eaten. I heard that the price of eggs has dropped very low recently. Let's just buy more. I will pickle two jars of salted eggs for you."

"Okay!" Jiang Youliang nodded happily.

Foreign eggs are not expensive in the first place, and marinated salted eggs can be stored for a long time. Sometimes when the son is not at home, he cooks a pot of sweet potato porridge, then takes out two salted eggs and cooks them. convenient.

The video material of making moldy tofu and the pickling part were not filmed. When he returned to his room at night, Jiang Xiaoman only edited the video of himself making tofu today, and uploaded it to several video platforms with background music. Look at yesterday's earnings.

Seeing this, he was pleasantly surprised!

"900 yuan! Damn! Is that much?"

Jiang Xiaoman quickly turned to the video of drinking at home that he had made in the past few days, and found that the number of views of the video on the first day had reached more than 200 million, and the highest on the second day was more than 400 million, which directly doubled.

On the third day, the video that the netizens were arguing about in the comment area was the scariest. This long video that almost caused Jiang Xiaoman to overturn at the time, but was edited by him and posted on the video website, because there were too many controversies. The netizen who couldn't argue with others asked his friends to help him quarrel, and the final broadcast volume reached an astonishing 1000 million!

This is still the beginning, as long as these few videos are not taken off the shelves, there will be a steady stream of people following them, these are his views, and they can be monetized.

In other words, although he didn't go out for the past three days, he was helping out at home, but with these three videos alone, he earned the three months' wages that a graduate would earn if he went out to work...

Jiang Xiaoman hugged his mobile phone and childishly rolled around on the bed a few times. He wanted to announce the good news to his father, but he didn't expect his father's signature earth-shattering snoring to be heard from the next door, so he could only suppress his inner excitement. Started to calculate a small account for my family——

They can collect money for building a new house and drinking in the house. Although it is not much, they also collected more than 6000 yuan. He gave the money directly to his father and asked him to keep it for future exchanges in the village. .

It cost nearly 10 yuan to build the house plus decoration on the first floor, plus a separate kitchen and dining room. The wife he saved for him in the past year has all been taken out, and the money for buying ingredients and drinks for the house wine is the more than 1 yuan Jiang Xiaoman earned from shooting videos and selling things by himself some time ago.

However, fortunately, after the house is built, people from the township can be invited to come and inspect it. After the inspection is passed, there will be a subsidy of [-] to [-] yuan. Qianjiang Xiaoman will not move this money even if he is killed. His father is so old When he grows up, he doesn't know when he will need money for a serious illness, so from now on, he will find a way to save a life-saving money for his father every year.

Therefore, this short video broadcast income of more than 7000 is really a timely rain for this family.

With this money, Jiang Xiaoman can make more beehive buckets with his father.

His online store didn’t invest in any promotional fees, and only relied on posting videos to attract traffic. Although there were only a dozen orders per day on average, the problem was mainly with himself. Whether it was honey or hand-embroidered shoes, the quantity was too small, and there were often Fans ask in the comment section when the stock will be restocked, and some of them can’t wait and even go online to search for the same style from other stores.

The more than 1 yuan was not enough for decoration, and before the meditation homestay invested by Tang Xinlan opened, they couldn't follow suit.

Jiang Xiaoman thought about it, and in the past two years, he still has to save a little with his father, and strive to develop the scale of beekeeping first. It's hard to say anything else, the sales of his semi-wild honey are really good.

He has the wood for making beehives at home, which are beams from old houses. Although this kind of wood is a bit old, the beehives made out of them are actually more usable than those made of new wood, and the wild bees love them too. This kind of bee bucket made of old wood has a high success rate of attracting bees, but with the wood, it is definitely not possible to rely on his father alone.

not to mention……

Jiang Xiaoman lamented, his father really lives up to his name, and the thing he can't let go of all his life is the farm work in the field. He planted all kinds of food, vegetables, melons and fruits in every empty space on the hills of his house. , In this way, his family can eat and drink well all year round, but there is too much work in the field, if Jiang Youliang is asked to make the beehive buckets by himself, his father will not have to sleep.

If you find a carpenter to make beehive barrels and produce the wood yourself, the market price in the past few years was 20 yuan for a wooden barrel. Now I don’t know what the price is. One hundred beehives cost only 30 yuan, plus the purchase of accessories such as iron wire and nails, as well as the bee sugar used to lure bees, the cost of more than 3000 yuan is definitely enough .

With these one hundred new bee barrels, according to their traditional free-range beekeeping here, one bee barrel can produce 10,000 to [-] catties of honey a year. If these local honey can be sold at the current retail price, Excluding loss and logistics costs, the annual net profit can be at least [-]+, which is enough for him and his father's daily expenses.

There are not many places to spend money in the countryside. The father and son can have 5 yuan a year for living expenses, and the food at home is very good.

The most important thing is that the mountain flowers and wild fruits in Langshan are abundant all year round, and the nectar source is abundant. Later, he plans to purchase a batch of high-quality nectar-sourced economical flowers and plant them on the side of the mountain forest road near his home, such as It is said that honeysuckle and honeysuckle can be dried and sold for money, and can also be used for bees to collect honey, and they are all perennial. As long as one crop is properly managed, it can be harvested for many years.

After careful calculation in his mind, Jiang Xiaoman felt that the income from beekeeping is still stable at this stage, with low cost and no worries about sales channels.

He has already thought about it, if it doesn't work, let's put it on consignment at the tourist center over the chestnut ditch~

Anyway, if you sell an order online, you need to pay a courier fee of [-] yuan, and if you take it to the tourist center for consignment, you will also need this much service fee.
