After graduation, I went home to keep bees

Chapter 151

Unlike Sun Zheyuan's laments, Jiang Xiaoman still thinks his father's idea is amazing.

"Brother Zheyuan, look, there are already two honeycombs in this beehive!"

Jiang Xiaoman squatted down in front of a simple beehive, pointed at the white hive inside and said in surprise, "Brother Shanyan and I went to the mountain to harvest honey before, and found that many wild bees like to live in this kind of semi-open cave, or some The bees build their nests under the stone crevices and beams facing the sun."

"Later when I came back and told my father about it, my father patted his head and said he should have thought of it earlier."

"You see, if all the beehives are made of wood, even if it is cheap second-hand wood, the cost of one beehive is at least three to forty yuan, and one hundred is three to four thousand yuan. Ordinary people may not be willing to spend this money. Start a business."

"But if we use this kind of outdoor beehives built from waste wood and leftovers, we can use the mountain to find some places where wild bees like to build their nests, and we can build such a beehive at a very small cost!"

"And my father and I found that this kind of beehive, which looks shabby, is easier to attract bees than the beehives we made out of wood."

"Is it true?" Sun Zheyuan immediately regained his energy after hearing these words.

"Of course it's true! What did I lie to you for? If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself! This outdoor beehive has been built by my dad for less than half a month, and there are two honeycombs inside! Look carefully, there are some honeycombs on the honeycomb. There is already honey, that is the light yellow piece." Jiang Xiaoman pointed to the honeycomb hidden inside.

Sun Zheyuan squatted down, turned on the SLR camera, clicked and took several close-ups of this simple beehive and the beehives inside, and his palms started to sweat with excitement.

This is another village with dark willows and bright flowers!

Jiang Xiaoman was right!

Why did the former mountain people in Langshan support their families by going to the mountains to find honey?

Isn't it because there are many kinds of honey plants in this mountain, and wild bees have no worries about eating and drinking, so even in the wild, wild bees can build nests and collect honey even in the right place...

In this way, they can completely change their entrepreneurial thinking. They don't have to be like before. When it comes to starting a business, they often have to spend tens of thousands of family assets into it, or solicit sponsors everywhere, pouring money into it in a rush.

The results of it?After the money is spent, there is no follow-up, and some projects have no sound...

But if Jiang Xiaoman and his family do this, there is almost no cost of trial and error.

As long as the channels for collecting honey are unimpeded, ordinary people want to make money from beekeeping. They don’t need to spend extra money to buy wood to make beehives. They go to furniture factories to buy some waste and leftovers, and then build dozens of these simple beehives on their own hills.

Even if they no longer plant additional honeysuckle plants like honeysuckle and golden chrysanthemum like Jiang Xiaoman's, relying on the flowers and plants in the mountains alone, and cutting two stubbles of soil honey a year, the family can still earn thousands to tens of thousands of yuan wait.

According to what Jiang Xiaoman said, as long as you find out the place where wild bees like to build their nests, you can bring a considerable amount of income to the family every year with only a small cost. Who would not be tempted by this?

The more Sun Zheyuan thought about it, the more excited he became, and he wished he could run back immediately and turn on his laptop to output like crazy!

He now has countless ideas and ideas in his mind!

He also wants to persuade the town to hire local mountain people like Shanyan who go to the mountains to collect honey all the year round and who are familiar with the habits of wild bees, and ask them to guide the local people who have never kept bees how to build this low-cost honeycomb by taking advantage of the terrain and environment. Outdoor beehives...

As for saying that this kind of beehive is not durable like a dilapidated house?

Hehe... If the common people feel that it is not durable, and the family has the financial strength, they can spend money to buy good wood to make bee buckets~

Thinking that in the future, there will be such outdoor beehives all over the mountains and plains in Langshan, every household will earn money from beekeeping and build new houses, and children will not be able to afford to go to high school because of poverty, and drop out of school early to work, the more Sun Zheyuan thinks The happier I was, the more I laughed on the spot.

Seeing that he was so happy, Jiang Xiaoman also laughed.

have a look!Even the poverty alleviation cadres think that their beekeeping cooperative has made a good start. It seems that there should be something interesting about the poverty alleviation subsidy for entrepreneurship!

Sun Zheyuan followed Jiang Xiaoman all the way around the two hills near his house, and was surprised to find that the beehives were not as he thought, they were all placed on the ground.

Jiang's beehives and beehives were placed in the woods, hung on tree branches, or stuck in crevices of rocks. Most of them were hidden so well that they couldn't be found without paying attention.

Sun Zheyuan originally thought it was to prevent theft and prevent people from coming to steal honey, but later he found out that Jiang Youliang put it in this way mainly to take care of the habits of wild bees, and specially selected places where wild bees like to build their nests...

"It seems that if we want to develop this cooperative, technical talents like Shan Yan and your father are really precious!" Sun Zheyuan couldn't help sighing.

Then he asked him curiously: "Langshan Village is so far away from Laoshan'aozi, how did you get along so well with Shanyan and his group?"

江小满尴尬一笑，把自己当初去找山岩买岩蜜送人、差点被他当成情敌给揍了的糗事简单回顾了一下，孙哲远哈哈大笑，觉得他和山岩这“不打不相识” It can also be written into the long-form news reports in the future, as an episode in this entrepreneurial story.

If Jiang Xiaoman knew that he planned to write the story of himself and Shan Yan in the news, he would definitely not tell him about this "black history"...

The two strolled along the way, Sun Zheyuan took hundreds of photos, Jiang Xiaoman's basket was also full of wild vegetables picked on the road, and today he specially brought a small hoe to dig up a lot of folded ears .

If Jiang Yu were here, he would definitely be amazed by his good brother's stinginess again——

Jiang Xiaoman was reluctant to dig out the zheer roots in front of his house. Every time he ate, he only picked the tip of the green leaves on top.

When we got to the unowned land outside, the little hoe was waving so happily, I wished I could dig up the ridges of the fields!

Looking at the white and tender Zheergen, Jiang Xiaoman smiled, and first took it to the spring flowing down the mountain, washed the mud on the Zheergen, and then stuffed it under the back basket with two small handfuls he cut along the way. Bamboo shoots, a small pile of bamboo shoots (that is, sagebrush), some ferns that have just sprouted, and bitter cabbage that every household in Langshan loves to eat.

It's a pity that the wild rape has already bloomed.

Last winter, Sun Zheyuan went to the countryside to work with the cadres in the town. On the way back, he dug up a lot of wild rapeseed. This thing is a good thing!

The big leaves and stalks on the outside can be used as sauerkraut, and the tender cabbage in the middle, no matter it is stir-fried or shabu-shabu, tastes more delicious than ordinary green vegetables!

Jiang Xiaoman also dug up a lot of wild onions with a small hoe, and said that he would cook him a stewed egg with wild onions at night.

Sun Zheyuan couldn't help swallowing.

After returning from the mountain, Sun Zheyuan hurried into the room to get his laptop, and plunged into the small kang in the living room of Jiang Xiaoman's house. The height of the kang table was just right for him to sit cross-legged and type on it.

Jiang Xiaoman only heard a brisk and quick knocking sound from the keyboard of the notebook. Just by listening to the sound, he could imagine the scene of Director Sun flying his fingers and typing on the keyboard frantically.

For a moment, Jiang Xiaoman couldn't help thinking of those years when he was dominated by his graduation thesis...

"Forget it, let's cook!" Through the window, Jiang Xiaoman shivered, and hurried to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

This season's sage grass is the most tender time of the year, and it is the best to make green dumplings.

In the past, to make Qingtuanzi, you had to put sagebrush or wormwood in a stone mortar and smash it repeatedly. After smashing, wrap it in gauze and squeeze out the juice before it can be used for kneading.

But now there is no such trouble.

After all, Jiang Xiaoman is also a (wild) food blogger with millions of fans. Since he became popular, many brands have found him and offered to send him products. The product is embedded in it.

Most of them are all kinds of kitchen utensils and small appliances.

Now, the rice cooker, juicer, air fryer, cooking machine, etc. used in his kitchen are all samples sent by the brand.

Slightly chop the washed sagebrush, put it into the juicer, press the switch, and then you don’t need to worry about it. It only takes a few minutes to pour out the squeezed sagebrush juice.

Scooped three bowls of glutinous rice flour and one bowl of sticky rice flour, poured the squeezed sage juice into it, and kneaded it into a dough for later use.

Then there is the stuffing.

Peel the small bamboo shoots that have just been picked up in the afternoon, boil them in a pot under cold water, remove them and wash them repeatedly, so as to wash off the astringent taste of the small bamboo shoots.

Then cut into cubes, soak some fungus and mushrooms, smash them with a cooking machine, finally cut the bacon into cubes, stir fry in the oil pan, pour in the diced bamboo shoots, mushrooms and stir fry, add a little chicken essence to taste, the bacon It is salty in itself, so there is no need to add salt to the filling.

Knead the dough, knead the dough, flatten it, then wrap the stuffing in it, form a big dumpling, put bamboo leaves under it, and then it can be steamed in a pan.

Taking advantage of the time of steaming the green balls, Jiang Xiaoman washed and cut the zheer root that he dug up and cut into sections, and made a cold Zhe Ergen.Then I went to the vegetable garden at the back to pinch a pot of pea tips and made pea tip egg drop soup.

An easy and delicious dinner is ready.

"Oh, it's Qingtuanzi! This is my first meal of Qingtuanzi this year." Sun Zheyuan said pleasantly.

"Hey~ I'm running out of time, so I'll have a makeshift meal tonight. I wanted to stir-fry bracken with bacon. Fresh bracken needs to be blanched and soaked for half a day before it can be cooked. It's too late, so I'll save it for tomorrow."

"Shouldn't we go to Laoshan'aozi tomorrow?" Sun Zheyuan bit off half of the green dumpling in one bite, gasping for breath as it was hot, while still asking about tomorrow's itinerary.

"It probably won't be until tomorrow afternoon. I called Brother Yan just now, and he said that tomorrow morning he will take the two girls in the family to the town health center to get a flu shot." Jiang Xiaoman feels that it is really not easy to raise a child. Need to get some vaccines such as chickenpox and smallpox, and now even the flu has to be vaccinated.

"That's right! Spring is here, and the flu season will soon be at its peak. No wonder there are a bunch of people queuing up at the health center in the town recently." Sun Zheyuan suddenly realized.

It seems that this is also a single dog.

After one o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Shan Yan came over and brought Jiang Xiaoman a basket of fresh snails whose tails had not been cut off.

"Xiaoyu specially left it for you, and said that you must like it, and told you to keep it in the water for two days before eating." Shan Yan conveniently put the bamboo basket containing snails in the pool in front of his house.

"Oh! It's still Brother Xiaoyu who treats me well! I've been so busy recently that I forgot that this season is when the snails are the freshest. If you don't eat any more, after the Qingming Festival, the snail shells will be full of eggs. By then the snails will be full of eggs. The meat will not be fat anymore." Jiang Xiaoman happily poured most of the basket of snails into a deeper bucket, and covered it with something to prevent the snails from crawling out.

As the saying goes, "Qingming snails are better than geese", the snails that just started spring hide in the mud for a winter, and when the temperature rises, they come out, devour a large number of plankton in the water, and become fat and fleshy in just one month. Tender, whether it is used to make soup with bacon, or stir-fried snails in a sauce with chili and perilla leaves, it is very delicious.

When I was in college a few years ago, conditions did not allow it. Every year in this season, the stingy Jiang Xiaoman would reluctantly spend more than a dozen yuan to go to the night market to order a plate of fried snails in sauce to enjoy himself.

It's all right now, I finally returned to my hometown, can't I eat enough of this snail?

It's a pity that he's been too busy recently, if Jiang Yu hadn't given him a basket of snails, he almost forgot that all snails are available this season.

"Forget about your snails, hurry up, feed your chickens and pigs, let's start early, and try to reach my house before dark." Shan Yan urged.

Jiang Xiaoman hurriedly scooped up a large spoonful of smashed bran and sprinkled it in the chicken coop, and then poured a bucket of pig food into the trough of the pigpen. He had already made an appointment with Jiang Youliang, and he set off here in the afternoon. If there is food, come back before dark, so that his two little piglets will not be hungry.

well!Once a farmer's family raises pigs, they are completely inseparable...
