After graduation, I went home to keep bees

Chapter 212

It has been almost two years since Jiang Xiaoman and his father came to visit relatives in Chestnut Valley last time.

During Chinese New Year last year, the mountain was blocked by heavy snow, so I couldn't go down the mountain to visit relatives.

This year, it was due to the super flu again, not to mention leaving relatives, the road between their village and Chinligou was blocked by roadblocks!

Both sides sent three village cadres to guard day and night, for fear that the other side would let a Xiaoyang person come over...

visiting relatives?

Sorry, relatives do not welcome you!

Let's wait until this flu is under control!

He only came here once every two years, and he came here again to ask for help. This time, Jiang Xiaoman was well prepared, not only for the old uncle's family, but also for several generations of relatives who had been friends before. They are local products of Langshan.

Shan Yan drove the small truck that the cooperative just bought last year. The trunk was full of things, including homemade ham, air-dried chicken, air-dried hare, salted and smoked wild pork, and wild meat made by Jiang Xiaoman. Small tea cakes, wild rock honey and old beehives sponsored by the mountain rocks, and more than 20 large pickled herrings, and several large bags of red-skinned yams...

When so many things were unloaded from the car, the neighbors near Shan Rong's house were stunned, and even the tourists who lived in their house were lying on the windows to watch the excitement.

Those who didn't know thought that Jiang Xiaoman was the son-in-law who went to Shan Rong's house to make a bride price.

"Why do you bring so many things when you come to my uncle's house for a few days? You won't be allowed to bring them next time!" Shan Rong feigned anger.

In fact, the old man is very proud of it.

The younger generation cared about him and gave him so many local products from the mountains. This is the greatest dignity in the countryside!

Jiang Xiaoman smiled and said nothing.

How is it possible that the elders will not give it away if they say no?

Just like his father, who said every year that he should not celebrate his birthday when he gets older, and he is not allowed to buy him gifts to make birthday noodles... If the son really believes in his father's words, try to forget his old man's birthday?

Not only giving gifts, but Jiang Xiaoman's mouth is also very sweet. Seeing Shan Rong's neighbors come to watch the fun, he conveniently brought down a big bag that he had prepared earlier from the co-pilot, and distributed sugar and cigarettes to the neighbors , while greeting——

"The mountain was closed by heavy snow last year, and the village was closed last year. It has been two years since I came to pay New Year's greetings to my old uncle. My father said, this time, I must invite my old uncle to stay at my house for a few more days. When the time comes, my old uncle If you're not at home, uncles and aunts, please take care of me."

"Hahaha! Definitely!"

"Let your old uncle play for a few more days, your brother and sister-in-law are watching at home."

The neighbors were short-mouthed and praised Jiang Xiaoman for being filial and sensible, and Shan Rong was enjoying the cigarettes given by his nephew beside him.

This time he called ahead of time, and Shanrong's family was fully prepared to entertain guests.

My aunt went to the market early in the morning with a vegetable basket, and bought an old duck, a whole pig's trotter, two catties of fresh beef brisket, and a lot of various fish and shrimp, and even put them on the coffee table at home. It was filled with all kinds of snacks and nuts, and it was obvious that Jiang Xiaoman was treated like a child.

This shows how much Shan Rong and his wife like this cousin.

My cousin, Shantang, and his wife also took a day off to stay at home. When I heard that they were going to the village to investigate the planting project of wild mushrooms, my cousin quickly stood up. Her good sister is the partner of a cooperative specializing in planting wild mushrooms in Ligou Village. one of the people.

"For this matter, you might as well go to the cooperative directly in the village. Anyway, the receptionist in the village will directly bring people to the cooperative for a visit. Come on, I'll take you to the cooperative directly!"

"Then let's go to the cooperative with my cousin first, but the village also has to take a look, otherwise I won't be able to write a report later." Jiang Xiaoman chuckled.

The cousin immediately understood.

To write a report, that is to go to the village to find materials.

Those materials gave her a headache. My cousin is indeed a high-achieving student who has studied in college. I guess the materials in Langshan Village are all written by my cousin, right?

A group of people followed the cousin to the cooperative first.

The Wild Mountain Mushroom Planting Cooperative in Chestnut Valley is built right next to the planting base. The three-entry log cabins built on the mountainside do not look like any office space at all from the outside, and some people believe that it is a scenic homestay.

There are indeed several guest rooms here, which are specially prepared by the cooperative for the professors stationed at the Agricultural University to help.

But the first row is all office space, and the cousin is a good sister of the shareholder, so she doesn't need to go to the office to make an appointment first, she makes a phone call in advance, and directly takes her to the office of her good sister Tang Qiuhua.

I heard that they are from Langshan, this time they mainly want to investigate and see if they can introduce wild mountain fungus, Tang Qiuhua immediately enjoyed it——

"We can plant chestnuts in the ditch, and you will have no problem over there!"

"In the early years, we also went to Langshan to pick up the fungus. The fungus there grew big and fat, which was much better than ours."

After finishing speaking, Tang Qiuhua stood up, took out a few thick brochures from the filing cabinet behind him, and handed them to Jiang Xiaoman, Shan Yan, and Lang Ying, and asked them to take a look at the joint ventures produced by the seed company and their cooperative. Wild mountain mushroom cultivation brochure.

"We are now one of the experimental bases of the Agricultural University's wild mountain mushroom planting project. In fact, the ecological environment in Langshan is better than ours. Xiaoman, I heard that the Agricultural University is still recruiting new experimental bases. If your village has this condition, simply Also go to apply for cooperation with the Agricultural University.”

"Let me tell you that there are actually many invisible benefits in becoming the experimental base for wild mountain fungus cultivation of Agricultural University."

"For example, in terms of technical support, if you set up your own planting bases, in terms of technology, you have to spend a lot of money to hire technicians from outside, right? If the money is less, they may not be willing to come."

"But if it becomes the experimental base of the Agricultural University, you don't need to care about the technology. The Agricultural University regularly sends teams to the site every year. Although they come here mainly to do scientific research, but people come and live in your village every day. , if you encounter any problems in your planting base, ask the experts and professors of the Agricultural University for advice, do they still charge you for consulting fees?"

"By the way, the experimental base can still get a preferential purchase price from the seed company affiliated to the Agricultural University. It is at least one-third cheaper than you purchasing in the name of the cooperative."

"Really?" Jiang Xiaoman stood up in surprise.

Of course he knows that relying on this kind of agricultural college can get a lot of bonuses, just for the free technical guidance, how much money can be saved for the cooperative every year!

You should know that there are some experts at the Agricultural University, which ordinary cooperatives may not be able to hire.

However, it was the first time he had heard that, as the experimental base of the Agricultural University, he could even get a discount on the purchase of mushroom packs.

"Don't get too excited. The discounted varieties are also limited. You can only buy fungus packs, sticks, and strains developed by the seed company affiliated to the Agricultural University. You can’t enjoy this benefit.”

"Then, are all the mushroom bags produced by the Agricultural University in Chestnut Valley now? How about the annual output and resistance to diseases and insect pests?" Jiang Xiaoman asked.

"Don't worry about the quality of the mushroom packs. Even though our Provincial Agricultural University is not ranked high in the country, the research on strains is still very good. The mushroom farmers in our province basically use theirs. Mushroom packs, because you use local mushroom packs, you can get an additional financial subsidy of 500 yuan per mu of land..."

The elder sister, the shareholder of the cooperative, is probably really the best friend of the cousin. I heard that Jiang Xiaoman called his best friend a cousin, and told him about the preferential policies they can enjoy in the process of cooperating with the Agricultural University.

Jiang Xiaoman, Lang Ying and others hurriedly took out their notebooks and recorded them.

These are dry goods that are hard to find outside!

After listening to the free training class, Jiang Xiaoman and the others visited the cooperative's mushroom planting base.

In the past few years, with the strong support of the agricultural university's scientific research team, Chestnut Ditch has clearly played the three-dimensional planting of mushrooms. Jiang Xiaoman and the others seem to have entered the Grand View Garden like Grandma Liu, and they feel strange when they see everything.

Especially the chestnut trees in Chestnut Valley. In the past, the chestnuts were the least valuable, and they would be unsalable during the harvest, and they couldn't be sold for a few yuan a catty.

It’s all right now, they don’t sell chestnuts anymore, and they grow mushrooms directly from ancestral chestnut trees.

From the trunk to the bottom of the tree, different types of mushrooms can be planted in different locations. Even a collapsed chestnut tree can be used as waste. Students from the Agricultural University cut dozens of holes in it and planted the fungus directly on it.

When the mushrooms grow, before they can be picked and sold, they are bought by tourists in the village at a high price... It is more profitable than simply selling mushrooms!

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoman no longer knew what to say.

How else can it be said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.

How would they know about these ways of making money if they hadn't been brought by their own people?

Before leaving, Jiang Xiaoman made friends with the other party, and specially asked for a business card, planning to get some good rock honey after returning home, and asked his father to carve two bamboo ornaments for him and send them over as a thank you gift.

They have done them such a big favor, so they can't say nothing at all, can they?

In the evening, my cousin invited her best friend’s family over, and everyone in the room ate and drank. Shanrong asked Jiang Xiaoman how the cooperatives in their village were doing now. He heard that beekeeping cooperatives and tea cooperatives were established. The brothers Jiang Youliang turned out to be the inheritors of non-inheritance, and he slapped the table happily. He wished he could pack his luggage tomorrow and go to Langshan Village with Jiang Xiaoman.

Jiang Xiaoman and the others came here this time to see how the strains used in Chestnut Ditch are. If they are cost-effective, they want to buy a batch and take them home to try.

Who knew that after hearing what the eldest sister of the cooperative said, the three of them, especially Jiang Xiaoman, felt that since the industry is going to grow, it is best for the government to come forward from the beginning, like Chestnut Valley, where the village and the Agricultural University cooperate to establish an experimental base .

In this way, new cooperatives can enjoy more policy dividends in the future, and technical problems will also be solved.

Hearing that Shanrong said he wanted to visit Langshan Village, Jiang Xiaoman took advantage of the opportunity and raised his wine glass, inviting his uncle and aunt to his house to play together.

Anyway, there are many rooms in his house now, even if my uncle and his family go to play, they can still accommodate them.

The most important thing is that he has to go back to the village quickly, and then go to the town to discuss with Director Sun.

Jiang Xiaoman knew in his heart that if they brought up this matter, the village cadres might not be willing to do it.

This is the situation at the grassroots level. Anyway, the salary is so much every year, and the amount of work done does not have much impact on the salary. The village cadres would rather save a little trouble than cause trouble for themselves.

Besides, no matter how much overtime pay is, can they earn as much as they go up the mountain to pick up fungi?

During this time, Langying's processing factory was collecting fungi, and many village cadres near their town also went up the mountain to collect fungi.

Get up before dawn in the morning, go up the mountain to collect bacteria for a few hours, and when the time is up, go down the mountain to go to work and clock in, and then go home after get off work in the afternoon to help sort the bacteria at home...

After a month like this, they earn more money than their wages. Who would like to work overtime at the unit for free?

If we want to get this done, we can't rely on them to fight with the village. We have to find a way to make the town suppress it as a political task...
