After graduation, I went home to keep bees

Chapter 225

Considering the effect of the program, Jiang Xiaoman discussed with Lang Ying and others, and decided to suspend the expansion plans of several cooperatives——we have to wait until the patrons come to expand.

It's not that they must take advantage of the program group and the guests, but Jiang Xiaoman is worried that if they do the expansion of the cooperative in advance, when the guests come, the program group will have nothing to shoot.

Just like the martial arts movies he watched when he was a child, a hero like Qiao Feng will definitely appear at the most critical moment, instead of being like a secondary player, poking there as a background board at the beginning, so that the audience will have nothing to be excited about. ?

Besides, cough~ How can their solo self-media small-time brawlers compare to those big stars with tens of millions of fans at every turn?

I heard that some celebrities with strong fan appeal can sell out a slow-selling agricultural product by just posting a scarf or a short video. What kind of appeal is this?

However, it will take at least a few months for a program to be launched from project approval to investment promotion. The program team means that it is best to choose it in September, which happens to be the autumn harvest season. Soil, honey and other local specialties are in the harvest season. The crops in the field, the fruits and vegetables in the vegetable garden, and the wild flowers and wild fruits all over the mountains and plains are all free materials... and the shooting effect is also very good .

The program group hasn’t come yet, but life still has to go on. Summer is the most profitable season for the people of Langshan. The reason is simple: the humid and warm summer is the time when the production of various wild mushrooms on the mountain is the highest!

Chinese people immediately think of Province Y when they think of "a province that eats mushrooms", but in fact, Jiang Xiaoman's hometown is also rich in all kinds of wild mountain mushrooms, but the mountain people here are more timid, not like the people of Province Y. Food does not hesitate to take the risk of "testing poison". The common people here are only used to picking the bacteria they know every year.And I eat very little, and I sell them for money.

In the past, when the common people in Langshan picked mushrooms, they would take them to the town to sell to the peddlers who collected them. Sometimes they went there too late and the peddlers left, so they had to take them home and eat them by themselves.

After all, there is too much rain in this season, and it can't be dried in the sun. It would be a pity not to eat it and rot.

But this year is different.

Lang Ying's food factory buys a large amount of wild mushrooms every day. The wild mushroom sauce they make is said to be very popular online. The most important thing is that the food factory is open from morning to night every day. It can also be carried to the purchase point on the Laoshan'aozi side to sell.

In this season, there are almost all kinds of wild mushrooms in Langshan. Usually you just picked up a mountain today, and you can pick up new ones when you come over tomorrow. As long as you work hard and go up the mountain with a basket on your back, you won’t return empty-handed.

If you are lucky, if you pick up expensive boletus, chicken fir, bamboo fungus, etc., you can sometimes earn hundreds of dollars a day.

Jiang Xiaoman, Shanyan and the others got busy.

With a few apprentices, Shanyan set up buying points in the village and at Laoshan'aozi. They don't accept cheap mushrooms, but only accept chicken fir, boletus and the like that can be sold at a high price.

The main reason is that Shanyan has a group of old customers. Those who open restaurants and restaurants earn a lot of money during the time when wild mushrooms are on the market for a year, and they just need old mountain people like Shanyan to supply them with authentic wild mushrooms. .

Jiang Xiaoman and Jiang Yu were not idle either. Lang Ying was busy with production work. He and Jiang Yu took over the sales channel of the food factory. The two anchors got rid of their laziness in the past and broadcasted a live broadcast almost every night.

In addition to live streaming, Jiang Xiaoman and Jiang Yu also shoot videos during the day.

Since the success of the short series of dog blood videos in the family, Brother Xiaoman has mastered the traffic code. No, when the whole village’s self-media newbies are shooting up the mountain to pick up fungus, Brother Xiaoman found another way and took pictures of picking up fungi. people.

He discovered a few days ago that the students who lived far away from the school used to walk to school by themselves, as long as it was not windy or rainy.

But recently, many parents of students in the school have begun to send their children to school.

It's not that the parents' sense of responsibility is suddenly overwhelmed, but because they can drop by the village to sell the wild mushrooms picked yesterday when they go down the mountain to send their children off, and then go back the same way, pick up the mushrooms all the way back, and go back and forth the next day...

What Jiang Xiaoman is going to shoot today is Da Niu's classmate Lang Zihan's family.

Lang Zihan's name was chosen by her mother, which is very characteristic of their age. One can tell at a glance that her mother was also a loyal reader of romance novels.

At 07:30 in the morning, Jiang Xiaoman hurriedly grabbed two big buns stuffed with wild mushrooms and bacon. As soon as he ran to the school gate, he saw Lang Zihan's father carrying his daughter inside with a basket on his back.

so close!Almost missed it!

"Guochang, what time did you get up in the morning?" Jiang Xiaoman asked out of breath while turning on the camera.

"We live far away, and we wake up at 05:30 in the morning." Lang Guochang embarrassedly called Brother Xiaoman.

Jiang Xiaoman suddenly became black.

Yes, although Lang Guochang is already the father of two children, in terms of age, he is still two years younger than him.

Lang Guochang married early, his eldest daughter is already in the second grade of elementary school, and his youngest son is just a few months old.

This year, because his wife was going to have a baby, Lang Guochang didn’t go out to work. He originally thought that he would go out after his wife gave birth, but he was lucky. This year, the village was recruiting people everywhere, and it was very difficult to go to the mountains to pick tea and fungi. He could earn money, so he simply gave up his thoughts of going out to work. He didn't expect that in the past few months, after counting his family's income, it turned out to be more than what he saved from working outside!

Now the couple are full of energy. His wife picks tea near her home with her youngest son on her back after confinement. He drops by the way every day to send his eldest daughter to school, and sells mushrooms to pick them up. This is not counted as income from farming. These two items alone , the couple earned more than 1 yuan this month!

You know, if you go out to work, you have to bear the cost of food, housing and transportation. In their place, the wild mushrooms in the mountains and plains are free, and the wild tea trees do not cost money. If you are lucky, sometimes the couple can earn several dollars a day. hundred dollars.

"Brother Xiaoman, I've made an agreement with my wife. We want to join the cooperative next year when all the yams and yams at home are returned this year, and grow goldensock chrysanthemum and honeysuckle tea with you."

"Yes, but according to the regulations above, it is not allowed to occupy the grain land." Jiang Xiaoman reminded.

"Don't worry, the mountain land where my family grows yams is all reclaimed by my parents. It is not the responsibility field of our village. If we rely on the responsibility field alone, we will starve to death." Lang Guochang said naively smiled.

Jiang Xiaoman followed him, watching him go to Lang Ying's food factory first, pour out the wild mushrooms from the basket and the woven bag, and wait in line for the scale to be weighed.

The wild mountain mushrooms purchased by the food factory are mainly used for making sauces. They are not classified, and all varieties are mixed together. The unified purchase price is [-] yuan per catty. This price sounds cheaper than selling at a stall, but the food factory can’t stand it. As long as it is non-toxic edible fungi, they want it!

Lang Guochang now goes to the mountains to pick up mushrooms during the day, and sorts them himself when he comes back at night. The rare wild mushrooms are sold to the mountain rock, and the cheap "unified goods" are sold to food factories. These "unified goods" have high yields. Today he picked these It sold for more than 300 yuan.

"This is more profitable than sewing bags in the factory." Lang Guochang put away his mobile phone contentedly.

The purchase at the food factory is settled on the spot. You can choose cash or transfer. Lang Guochang chooses transfer every time. Bank interest rates are slightly higher.

After coming out of the food factory, Jiang Xiaoman followed him into the mountain. Lang Guochang picked up the fungus in front, and he followed suit.

Just filming is quite boring, Jiang Xiaoman thought of the upcoming program group, so he consciously guided Lang Guochang to chat about it——

"Guochang, if you can find a job in the village, will you and your siblings still go out to work in the future?"

"You said that! If you can make money at home, who would want to leave their hometown? If you can't sleep well or eat well outside, how can you have a home?"

"You have never worked in a factory, and you don't know how hard it is to work. When the foreman came to recruit workers, he said nicely. The factory provides food and accommodation. In fact, the dormitories with eight people share bunk beds. In summer, there is no air conditioning. None, the heat is so hot, sometimes we would rather work the night shift than go back to the dormitory, because the factory area is air-conditioned, it’s cooler, and we can earn more overtime pay.”

"The food is not good either. Vegetarian dishes are cabbage, tofu, and bean sprouts. Cut some meat into it and it's considered a meat dish. After working the night shift at night, my legs and feet are weak. It costs eight yuan a bowl to order the cheapest fried rice with eggs." , it will cost an extra yuan to add rice.”

"Then you can't eat meat every day at home." Jiang Xiaoman joked.

"I cook at home, there is plenty of oil and water!" Lang Guochang said, and his saliva almost flowed out, "Let's say last night, when I was picking fungi, I picked out a lot of broken ones. They didn't look good, so I washed them." Wash it and keep it for our own family to eat."

"My wife cut a knife of bacon, made a big pot of bacon fried with mixed mushrooms, made a mushroom egg soup, stewed a pot of glutinous rice, I took a stainless steel basin, filled a large bowl of corn rice , covered with two thick spoonfuls of bacon and fried miscellaneous mushrooms, after the meal, I drank two more bowls of egg soup with mushrooms, lard and shallots were added to the soup, it was fresh and smooth!"

Good guy!Jiang Xiaoman became greedy just listening to it, and decided to make a pot of egg soup with mixed bacteria and rice to eat when he went back tonight.

There are really many villagers who have come out to pick up fungi recently, Jiang Xiaoman thought they had come out early enough, but when passing by a forest, someone on the mountain has already returned with a big bag full of fungi!

"Oh, it's Xiaoman, do you want to eat the fungus? Uncle just picked up the fungus, come on, grab a few and try it!"

People in the mountains don't like to play tricks, so they asked Jiang Xiaoman to eat fungus. The uncle opened the woven bag without any explanation, took several handfuls of fungus out of it, and put them in Jiang Xiaoman's back basket.

"Enough is enough, Uncle, you still have to sell it for money, just grab me a few and try it." Jiang Xiaoman hastily declined.

"Hey! If it wasn't for Xiao Man, you led everyone to do business and make money, how would we have the good life we ​​are now? What's the point of eating a fungus? When you're done working for a while, you come to your uncle's house for dinner, and your uncle asks your aunt to kill chickens for you! "

Along the way, I met several people who went into the mountain to collect fungi. Some picked up too much and hurried down the mountain to sell them, and some just entered the mountain like them.

There are joyful smiles on everyone’s faces. There are a lot of wild mushrooms produced this year, and the food factory buys unlimited quantities. Recently, everyone can earn hundreds of dollars almost every day, which was unimaginable in the past.

What's more, it's not just wild mushrooms. The villagers have heard about it. Next, Lang Ying's cooperative will introduce strains to grow wild mushrooms in the forest.

Who doesn't have a mountain forest with more than ten mu of land in the mountains?

If all of them were planted with wild mountain fungus, wouldn't that be another big income?

Someone has already gone to the cooperative to ask Lang Ying, and it is true.

It’s just that because the Agricultural University has not negotiated yet, it’s not sure whether they can purchase preferential strains, so Lang Ying said to the outside world that their food factory is responsible for purchasing the strains. When the strains come, those who want to grow them can do it themselves Buy, how much to buy depends on each family's economic situation.

If you want to grow a few acres of fungi, you have to save enough money to buy fungi!

They now have no doubt that growing fungi can make money.

LOL!If this stuff doesn't make money, can Lang Ying's food factory open up unlimited purchases of wild mushrooms?

I heard people inside say that the assembly line in the food factory is now overloaded 24 hours a day, and the machines are about to burst into flames. What does this mean?Doesn't this just mean that the sauce made from wild mushrooms is particularly profitable?

In the past, the men in the village were lazy, but in the final analysis, it was not because farming did not make money?If they go out to work, people like them who have no diploma and no skills can only do the most tiring work and get the least money.

To put it bluntly, when a person finds that no matter how hard he tries, there is no way to change his fate, it seems to be their only bargaining chip against fate.

But now, everything seems to be different.

Thinking of the long line in front of the food factory waiting to sell fungi, and finding that most of them were men from Langshan, Jiang Xiaoman suddenly had a feeling.

The men in Langshan don't seem to be as aggressive as he thought?

Maybe he should pay more attention to the daily life of Lang Shan and the gang of gentlemen who support their families?

At this time, Jiang Xiaoman didn't know that his decision on a whim would bring him countless male fans who cried "Brother Xiaoman understands us" one day in the future...
