After graduation, I went home to keep bees

Early the next morning, Jiang Xiaoman rode Jiang Baichuan's electric tricycle and brought two woven bags to the town market.

The estimate was wrong yesterday, I didn’t buy enough coarse salt, and I have to buy three more bags today.

After buying the salt, I went to chop a few catties of pork belly and a large piece of lard oil. I saw a riverside fish farmer selling black carp for four yuan and five catties, and I bought two.

When I came back, I took a detour to the chicken farm to buy chickens from Shanchunhua.

Chicken during this period is really cheap. The whole feed chicken that has not been slaughtered costs only four yuan a catty, which is not as expensive as silver carp.

Jiang Xiaoman bought two for only 50 yuan, but Shan Chunhua forcibly threw the two non-laying roosters into the car.

"It was a gift from my sister-in-law. Take it and kill it for your uncle to eat. Your uncle is a good man. If it weren't for him, the children in our area would have difficulty going to school!" Shan Chunhua admired Jiang Baichuan very much.

Now it's all right, there are meat, fish and chicken, the food for these two days is absolutely fine.

Back at school, I saw Jiang Baichuan also got up to help wash the eggs. The big and small pots in the yard were full of eggs.

Fang Xingchen and Chu Mengluan sat on a small bench eating sweet potato porridge, which Jiang Xiaoman cooked when he woke up in the morning.

"Hey, eat slowly. I bought fried dough sticks and sugar oil fruits, as well as fried glutinous rice cakes and leek boxes." Jiang Xiaoman parked the car and went into the kitchen early with several items.

There is no breakfast in the village, usually they can only ride a bicycle to the market to buy if they want to eat breakfast.

Today happened to be at the market, and Jiang Xiaoman bought some of everything to bring back. Anyway, there are so many of them, they can't finish eating.

Putting this in the past, Chu Mengluan would never eat such a high-calorie breakfast of sugar-oiled fruits and deep-fried glutinous rice cakes.

But after experiencing Jiang Baichuan's boiled meal, there was no oil in her stomach for several days. Chu Mengluan felt that even if a plate of lard residue was placed in front of her, she would eat half of it without changing her expression... …

After breakfast, several people got busy.

With so many people, they washed and marinated half of the eggs in one morning.

In fact, the work of marinating eggs is not difficult, the most important thing is to prepare the brine, and Jiang Xiaoman is in charge of this.

Jiang Youliang was responsible for picking the loess and mixing the prepared brine and loess into mud.

Jiang Baichuan and two trainee teachers were responsible for putting the dried eggs in and rolling them around, then wrapping them in plastic wrap.

Five people work on the assembly line. It seems that it doesn't take two days, and it can be completed in one day at most.

"Why don't we cook more slowly? Otherwise, Brother Xiaoman will go home tomorrow, and we will eat boiled vegetables made by the principal again." Fang Xingchen whispered to Chu Mengluan.

"You just found out? Oops, I can't do it anymore, I have to go have a cup of tea and take a break." Chu Mengluan stood up and beat his back, slipped to the office to drink tea and blow on the electric fan for a while.

The weather is too hot, and their fairies cannot bask in the sun.

"I'll also go to the bathroom and feed the pigs." Fang Xingchen also deserted.

"Uncle, why don't you take a break too, I'll cook." Jiang Xiaoman stood up, grabbed the little rooster that Shan Chunhua gave to his uncle, and killed it.

It is said to be a small rooster, but in fact it weighs more than four catties. This kind of chicken does not lay eggs. It should be raised by Shanchunhua to eat. Save the blood of the chicken. Later, I will make a stir-fried chicken offal with green peppers with the chicken offal. The chicken is chopped into pieces. Cut half a pot of yams and make a yam roast chicken.

The head of the black carp is cut three fingers wide, and the head of the carp is cut in half. When cooking, a fish head with chopped pepper is steamed, and the fish body is cut into pieces and braised in soy sauce, with the konjac tofu , simply not too delicious.

The pork belly and lard oil were too late to be cooked at noon, so Jiang Xiaoman took a plastic bag and wrapped them tightly, then threw them into the spring pit in the back mountain, and held them down with a big stone, planning to pack them up after work at night.

The spring pit on the mountain behind the school is a mountain spring flowing down from the mountain. The water is very cold. It is like a natural refrigerator in summer. It is a pity that watermelons are just on the market and they are too expensive. It costs one yuan and five catties. If watermelons are on the market in large quantities, For a few cents a catty, buy one and throw it in the spring pit to soak, and it will be enjoyable to eat when you enjoy the coolness at night.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Baichuan went out without saying a word, and came back with a basket of cantaloupe!

"Who gave it to you?" Jiang Xiaoman hugged the melon in surprise.

This kind of melon is different from the ones sold in the fruit shop. It is a local variety. It is small and round, and this melon is divided into male and female. There is only one point on the head, which is male, and there is a belly button on the head. The eye shape is female.

The mother's is sweet, the male's is crispy, Jiang Baichuan's basket is actually the mother's!

"Who gave it to me? I planted it myself!" Jiang Baichuan snatched the melon and prepared to take it to the spring pit in the backyard to soak it.

"Uncle, when did you plant melons? Why didn't I know? I should have asked you for some melon seedlings."

"When I planted melons, you were still preparing for your dissertation defense at school." Jiang Baichuan smiled and pointed to the eaves of the kitchen, "Last year, a student said that his melons were very sweet, so he specially picked a few ripe ones. Let me eat it thoroughly, so I saved the seeds, tried to plant a dozen or so this year, and there are still a lot left, you have to get it yourself."

"Then you're welcome! There's still an open space behind the new home, and next year I'll plant some melons to eat." Jiang Xiaoman ran to the eaves, and without being polite to his uncle, he picked up half of the melon seeds.

At noon they ate in the teacher's office, where there was an electric fan, and Jiang Xiaoman cooked several big dishes, all of which were served in pots, which couldn't fit on the small dining table in the kitchen.

In the middle is a large stainless steel pot, with a small rooster weighing more than four catties, plus half a pot of potato cubes, and a large pot of potato roast chicken is cooked.

There is a large plate next to it, which is a steamed fish head with chopped peppers. The fish head is so big that the edges hang down from the plate. There is a thick layer of chopped peppers in the middle, and a layer of sliced ​​winter melon is placed underneath.

No one would doubt the appearance of this dish if it was made in a restaurant. Jiang Xiaoman never had this skill before.

But, who has made short videos so popular in recent years?Many master chefs have started to make short videos. Jiang Xiaoman had a great time following the free New Oriental courses, and learned a lot of delicious and delicious dishes.

There is also a large stainless steel basin of the same style on the side of the table, which is filled with konjac tofu and fried fish. When it comes out, the fish is delicious, and the konjac tofu is full of fish soup, which is better than fish.

There is also a plate of stir-fried chicken offal with green peppers and a plate of squashed cucumbers. Jiang Xiaoman didn't cook the rest, fearing that if he made too much, he would not be able to finish them all.

It turns out that he really underestimated the appetite of several adults.

With such a large table of dishes, the five of them couldn't even eat the chopped peppers on the fish heads!

It was still very hot at noon in summer, and a few people took a break in the teacher's office with the electric fan turned on at noon. Jiang Xiaoman took the time to turn on the background of his mobile phone. Unexpectedly, the video of salted eggs shot yesterday had nearly 80 views. Click There are more than 20 likes, and tens of thousands of fans in the comment area are asking when it will be available.

Salted eggs are indeed not as delicious as salted duck eggs, but how do you say that?

The ones that have never been eaten are good. Many netizens, especially those born after 00, have basically never eaten salted eggs. Now let alone pickled salted eggs in the city, no one pickled salted duck eggs. The boxes are all vacuum-packed, so you don’t have to worry about unpacking as much as you want. The price is actually the same as buying salted duck eggs yourself. Why bother yourself?

Seeing that there were too many people asking, Jiang Xiaoman didn't have time to reply one by one, so he simply posted a comment to the top, explaining that the salted eggs had just been marinated, and they would be on the shelves in half a month, and then he would make a video to hang the little yellow car , everyone swipes to the video and shoots directly.

The rule of this platform is to give priority to pushing accounts that have been followed, so that those who want to buy salted eggs from him have to follow his video account first.

Sure enough, this comment was posted at noon, and in the evening, Jiang Xiaoman found that his video account had quietly gained more than 2 followers...

Although it can't be compared with those big names who have gained hundreds of thousands of followers overnight, Jiang Xiaoman has a very good attitude. He also followed his videos after getting salted eggs. At least they are willing to buy, and they may develop into Customer wow!

However, what he didn't expect was that there were still many fans who had followed him in private messages asking if his konjac was for sale. It wasn't the konjac tofu that had been made, but the konjac that had just been dug out.

Jiang Xiaoman can't laugh or cry, he has a lot of konjac, and it's not expensive to sell, but the problem is that the delivery fee is expensive!A large konjac is at least five catties, and the largest one is more than ten catties. To be honest, if you sell konjac, the express fee is probably more expensive than konjac.

However, it is not a solution for fans not to reply to private messages all the time. Jiang Xiaoman rolled his eyes and woke up Principal Jiang who was dozing next to him: "Uncle, will the school's konjac be sold this year?"

"Don't sell it and keep it for your trouble? Sell it! I'll dig it up and sell it later!" Jiang Baichuan still didn't forget to diss his nephew in his sleep.

Jiang Xiaoman: "..."

Didn’t I just eat a few konjacs from you?Look how petty you are!

As long as Jiang Baichuan is willing to sell it, plus his own, it should be able to put it on the shelves and try it out.

Jiang Xiaoman hurriedly opened the shopping software, searched the price of fresh konjac on the Internet, and didn't know if he didn't look at it. After seeing it, he almost vomited three catties of blood with regret——

Nima~ Their konjac, which is more than one yuan and one catty, is actually sold online for six yuan per catty!It has doubled six times!

But after a closer look, the price-increased konjac comes with free shipping, and Jiang Xiaoman instantly understood.

This is to spread the courier fee to the product price, right?

It’s right to think about it carefully. After all, modern people’s psychology is like this. Konjac for six yuan a catty is not expensive, but if you charge me eight yuan for express delivery, I’m sorry. I’ll go to another place to see it first. Check for free shipping...

In this way, maybe this fresh konjac can really be sold?

The most important thing is that the dug out konjac is covered with a layer of mud, and it will not be damaged in a short time. Even if it is delivered by postal express, it will take 2 to 3 days to arrive, and there will be no complaints because the konjac is rotten.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaoman quickly woke up his father: "Father! How much konjac do we have left? Do we grow a lot of konjac in our village? I want to sell konjac online!"

"What? That thing is deadly and heavy, and it's troublesome to eat. Why do people buy this?"

Jiang Youliang felt that he might not have woken up yet, not to mention the people in the city, even in their rural towns, no one wanted to make konjac tofu by themselves now.

If you want to eat it, you can go to the market and buy two yuan. It is not expensive. A large bowl of konjac tofu is only two yuan, which is the same price as tofu. It is very convenient!

"Oh, Dad, you don't understand. This is the joy of young people. It's like growing vegetables on the balcony of people in the city. The picture is not about how much vegetables they can harvest, so they are willing to enjoy the fun of growing vegetables."

Jiang Xiaoman urged his father to help him ask a few acquaintances how many konjacs were planted this year.

"Father, don't say that I want to sell konjac online. Just say that someone may accept it. First, find out how many konjacs are in our village. If you can't sell them, I won't bother you. We have to give the school these first. It's sold."

"You're right to think so. If you can't do it, don't agree to others. Be a human being. Don't talk too much. You have to give yourself some leeway when you do things." Jiang Youliang said to his son, Satisfied, he stood up and stretched himself, took a pack of cigarettes, and planned to go to the homes of a few acquaintances in the village to find out for his son first.

The school side is much easier to handle. Jiang Baichuan didn't plant much, so he planted a circle of konjac trees along the inside and outside of the school wall as green trees, and just counted how many konjac trees there were along the wall.

Every household here grows konjac, and the output of a single tree is also known. After a rough estimate, the school area alone can produce more than 5000 catties of fresh konjac.

Jiang Baichuan gave him a round number: "You just sell five thousand catties for me, and I will keep the rest for the students to use in labor classes."

"No, uncle, konjac tofu is being made in elementary school labor class now?" Jiang Xiaoman was taken aback.

"What? When I was young, I didn't learn how to make konjac tofu. Are they like you, who grow up to make a fool of themselves in front of netizens all over the country?" Jiang Baichuan sneered.

He still remembers his nephew making konjac tofu and overturning his car while shooting a video.

Jiang Xiaoman: "..." It hurt my uncle! ! !
