After graduation, I went home to keep bees

The last time when he was selling konjac online, Jiang Xiaoman took the opportunity to check out several express delivery outlets in the county to find out which one delivered the bulk agricultural products cheaper.

After the salted eggs were packaged, he directly called the boss of the courier outlet and asked him to help call a car tomorrow to take the courier to the county seat.

Then I went to the chicken farm to look for Shan Chunhua without stopping.

Shan Chunhua's chicken farm originally had nearly [-] laying hens, but because the price of eggs has plummeted all the way and the feed is expensive, half of them have been cleared out at low prices.

The couple were reluctant to sell the remaining half, so they raised half of the feed and half of the coarse grains, losing money every day.

Hearing that Jiang Xiaoman sold all the eggs he bought back last time, Shan Chunhua was also shocked.

"Didn't it mean that people in the city don't like to eat foreign eggs? Why are they selling so fast?"

"Fresh foreign eggs do not taste very good, but marinated salted eggs are not bad. Sister-in-law, I brought you some. You boil them and try."

Jiang Xiaoman brought over a dozen salted eggs in plastic bags. He didn't sell all the salted eggs, but kept some for himself.

But he didn't come here today to deliver eggs, he had something to discuss with Shan Chunhua and his wife.

"What? You want to pull us into business together?" After hearing Jiang Xiaoman's plan, Shan Chunhua was surprised.

She was already very grateful that Jiang Xiaoman could help them sell the unsalable eggs, but now she wants to lead them to open an online store to make money?

"It's like this. My family's online store is going to be a Langshan specialty store in the future, and the categories will gradually increase. But my father and I are the only two people in my family, and it is impossible to do everything by myself."

"So I thought, sister-in-law Chunhua, you and Brother Dezhi seem to have nothing else to do except raising chickens, and you have to worry about sales in the off-season. If that's the case, why can't you be my supplier by the way?"

"In this way, you can directly sell fresh broilers and eggs during peak seasons, and in off-seasons like this year, we can make salted eggs from unsalable eggs, slaughter broilers and make air-dried chickens. longer food shelf life.”

"I will sign a supply contract with you, and then you will give me the wholesale price of these salted eggs and air-dried chicken, and I will sell them in the online store, so that you can protect your capital and I can also earn some pocket money. What do you think, sister-in-law?"

"Then if you can't sell it, aren't you losing money?" Shan Chunhua hesitated.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. I'll figure out a way to sell it. If I can't sell it, I'll go to the market and set up a stall to sell it. There are quite a few people here who like salted eggs."

Jiang Xiaoman smiled, and didn't blindly promise Shan Chunhua, because now even he himself is not sure whether the online store's business will always be so good.

However, he also has his own back-and-forth plan. Last time he went to the county town to purchase ingredients for a banquet, he stopped by the wholesale market to inquire, and asked for the phone numbers of the bosses of several wholesale stalls.

If you can’t sell it locally, at worst, you can sell it to wholesale stalls. Even if you make little or no money, you won’t lose money.

Shan Chunhua was still a little hesitant, she wasn't afraid that Jiang Xiaoman would lie to her, she was mainly worried that the salted eggs and air-dried chicken they made weren't good enough.

"Don't be afraid of this. I will write down the recipes for marinating salted eggs and air-dried chicken for you. When the time comes, sister-in-law, you can marinate according to the recipe I gave."

"Aren't you afraid that your brother and I will confuse your recipe, make it yourself and sell it online?" Shan Chunhua teased him.

"Sister-in-law, if you and brother are really such people, I wouldn't make a special trip today." Jiang Xiaoman smiled.

"Besides, there are so many people selling salted duck eggs and salted eggs in the whole country. If I can't see all of them, how can I do business?"

"To put it bluntly, sister-in-law, if you really take my formula and make it yourself and sell it, at worst, I will find another chicken farm to buy eggs, and find someone to do it myself~ Everyone sells their own, and my formula is not good. What a valuable secret recipe, but I have made a lot of it myself, and I think this method is more delicious."

"Don't worry! Your sister-in-law still has a bit of loyalty. Even if you put this recipe with me, I will never let anyone see it except me and your brother." Shan Chunhua thought for a while, and couldn't help asking , "Then can we start making air-dried chicken now? To tell you the truth, my chicken farm is now losing money every day to support it."

"Do it! Do it now! Sister-in-law, you can make a few hundred first, and I will try to sell it, mainly to check the market conditions. And it is still summer, if it is not well marinated, it will easily stink, so do less, let's improve the quality first. Done well, so that if people feel good after eating it, when pickled goods are on the market in autumn and winter, then it will be the season to really make money."

"That's right! I saw a video yesterday, and I saw an aunt who bought half a pig and stuffed it with sausages. They all said that they wanted to take advantage of the cheap pork price now, and it's popular in the city to stuff sausages with cured bacon out of season. It's over." Shan Chunhua is now idle and bored, and has started to watch short videos.

"That's the reason! If it sells well, sister-in-law, you probably don't have enough broilers. Then we can make a difference and go directly to other chicken farms to buy a batch of broilers at a low price to make air-dried chicken. "

Air-dried chicken is much more expensive than fresh feed chicken. Jiang Xiaoman asked the price in the wholesale market before. Sun-dried air-dried chicken costs 18 yuan per catty. How much is the wholesale price of unkilled feed chicken?In the current market, people are still not happy to buy it for four yuan and five pounds.

The reason why Jiang Xiaoman didn't hire someone to do this business himself, but came to Shan Chunhua and his wife to cooperate, was mainly because he was not familiar with the chicken raising business.

Unlike Shan Chunhua, it is said that she has been raising chickens for more than ten years. I know many acquaintances in this industry. Not to mention, when the market looks bad, they can kill chickens for pickling. They actually have predictions in the industry. .

The specific manifestation is that every time Jiang Xiaoman goes to the market and sees many chicken farm owners selling broiler chickens and eggs at their own stalls, it goes without saying that they will have cheap chicken and eggs to buy in the next period of time.

Considering that in the future, he will mainly focus on honey and homestays. Salted eggs and air-dried chicken are just to enrich the product categories of the store, so he does not intend to spend too much energy on this area. In addition, Shan Chunhua and her husband They all seemed to be loyal and reliable, so Jiang Xiaoman wanted to pull them to do it together.

After writing down the recipes for making salted eggs and air-dried chicken, and trusting to explain to Shan Chunhua how to do it and what points to pay attention to, Jiang Xiaoman hurriedly took a box of foreign eggs and two eggs that Shan Chunhua gave him. The chicken came home.

I haven’t been home for several days, and the house has changed a lot. There are a lot of old wood, iron wire and nails piled up on the concrete floor in front of the new house. Jiang Tao and Jiang Feng were also helping.

Speaking of Jiang Tao and Jiang Feng, you can see the differences between people.

Jiang Xiaoman was still complaining to his father in the morning, saying that some men are simply not worthy of being fathers, but these two uncles of the same clan in front of him are definitely the control group for those scumbags.

There are not many opportunities to make money here in Langshan. They either go to the city to work, or go to mines near home to mine.

One advantage of going to the mine is that the salary is higher than that of a part-time job, and it can take care of the family. Therefore, many families who are really short of money, or want to take care of their families nearby, will choose to work in the mine.

Jiang Tao and Jiang Feng both went to junior high school when they were young, and they were not bad looking. Their family was still in the village at the foot of the mountain, so they got married very early. Went to mine.

Unexpectedly, because of his inexperience, one of Jiang Tao's eyes was disabled in an accident, and Jiang Feng was even worse. After being rescued, his left arm was smashed below the elbow, and he couldn't connect it.

What's worse, after the accident happened in the small mine, the boss paid Jiang Tao 2 yuan on the pretext that the two of them worked too short. Send people away.

If you ask for money again, they will set wolf dogs to bite them.

They are both from the mountains, with no power or influence. At that time, they never thought of going to the government to help them defend their rights. The two of them became disabled and couldn't go out to work.

But even so, they are not idle, looking for work everywhere, saving money for their children to go to school.

They have suffered a lot, and they don't want their children to suffer any more.

Jiang Youliang had always been soft-hearted, probably because the two of them had a hard time finding work outside, so the family wanted someone to help them make beehives, so they recruited someone to help.

A helper is paid 80 yuan a day for one meal at noon. The money is not much, but it is considered a good job in the mountains.

In order to save money, Jiang Youliang didn't hire many people. He only hired two skilled carpenters to help him make the beehives. He also knows how to do carpentry, so he helped plan the planks by the side. Jiang Tao and Jiang Feng were small workers. , helping to carry the wood next to him, handing over nails and wires, and helping me.

Seeing the two disabled uncles working hard to help move the planks, Jiang Xiaoman felt sore, said hello to his father, and went in to prepare to kill chickens for cooking.

One day, he will let these hometown people who are willing to work hard to live the life they want!

When he entered the house, he found that his father had already stewed the potato and rice, and put a few large green eggplants on the edge of the rice. He probably wanted to eat a cold eggplant at night.

Also, the weather is so hot, it is time to have some appetizers.

After thinking about it, Jiang Xiaoman killed a broiler chicken, chopped the chicken into small pieces, picked a few hot peppers from the basket, broke off a large piece of ginger, and planned to make a spicy chicken and a green pepper Scrambled eggs, fried cabbage with a piece of meat, a bowl of hot and sour kimchi, and finally, I took out two home-made pickled stinky fish and roasted them. It was enough for a few of them.

In summer, he was not afraid that the food would be unpalatable if it was cold, so he prepared the food and took it to the dining room next to him, turned on the electric fan, and went to the refrigerator to get the beer that was cold before, and then yelled for his father to take someone to wash their hands and eat.

"There is food, you are a lucky one! Look at your Xiaoman, who can make money and take care of the family. I don't know which girl will be so lucky to marry into your family in the future." The uncle carpenter who helped make the beehives teased kindly road.

Now everyone in the village is saying that Jiang Xiaoman will stay in the village in the future. Seeing that the Jiang family is going to prosper sooner or later, those who have girls of the right age in their families or relatives are a little bit excited.

It's just because Jiang Xiaoman is a college student, and many of his daughters dropped out of junior high school, so they don't dare to speak up. This uncle probably wants to talk about it.

Jiang Xiaoman sighed secretly, sensing his father's expectant eyes, he could only forcefully smile and said, "Uncle, you don't know, this business venture is very risky, if you are not careful, you will go bankrupt, and I am also worried that it will hurt the girl from marrying here." Follow me to suffer, so I just want to wait until the business is done."

"Yes, my Xiaoman is only in his twenties, and he's still young." Jiang Youliang also came to his senses.

Although his family has built a big house now, Jiang Xiaoman seems to be able to make money, but in fact the family has almost no savings.

Marrying a daughter-in-law in this rural area is not easy now. People who are more particular want to "do not move at all".

The "moving" one needs a car with four wheels, and it can't be a cheap one like Wuling.

"Not moving" is even more frightening. The last time is to buy a house in the county with all the money, and you can't let the new daughter-in-law marry in and pay off the mortgage together.

Just adding these two things together, you can't do it without a million and 80!

With his family's current conditions, he can't get married even after talking about it~

Hearing that Jiang Youliang said that building the house had cost him all the family money, and he borrowed some money from outside, the uncle carpenter froze, raised his wine glass with embarrassment and took a big sip, and didn't speak anymore.

Who doesn't make any demands when marrying a girl these days? I'm afraid Jiang Youliang means that he can't even get the bride price?That's not going to work!Let's have a look.

Jiang Xiaoman escaped, and secretly wiped a cold sweat from his heart.
