Rebirth 1988 Farming and Raising Children

Chapter 187 Unpopular
Jiang Ancheng picked up the pine cones on the ground. The fresh pine cones were very hard, with pine oil still sticking to them. It was very laborious to take out the pine nuts with bare hands.

It took Jiang Ancheng a lot of strength to tear open the pine cone and break out a few pine nuts.

Jiang Ancheng put it to his mouth and bit it, and the aroma of pine nuts instantly filled his mouth.

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said: "This year the pine nuts are quite full."

Adults have a lot of things to do, and they don’t deliberately pick pine nuts. However, they will still bring back to the children the pine nuts they accidentally picked up in the forest, burn them, and peel the pine nuts for the children as snacks.

However, the pine cones that generally fall are the lucky ones of pine trees and birds, and there are not many pine nuts in them at all.

Jiang Ancheng looked up, the pine tree was not very tall, he could pick a lot of pine cones when he climbed it.

Jiang Ancheng put down the strap, ready to climb the tree.

Chen Yufei said: "You want pine cones? I'll pick them with you."

There is also a taller pine tree next to it.

Jiang Ancheng shook his head: "You can just pick up the pine cones below, and satisfy the children's hunger, just get some whatever you want."

"it is good."

Both Jiang Ancheng and Chen Yufei grew up in the forest, and their memory of climbing trees is better than that of pandas.

The thick calluses on his hands enhanced the adhesion. Jiang Ancheng grabbed the trunk, swished up, sat on the branch of the pine tree, broke off a branch and hit the pine cone vigorously.

One, two, three pine cones kept falling from the trees.

After a while, Chen Yufei under the tree filled the pine cone with a small half-basket.

Jiang Ancheng looked at the top of the tree, and got down from the tree when there was no pine cone within his reach.

Jiang Ancheng didn't realize how much he had beaten. He went down the tree and saw that the harvest was not bad.

Chen Yufei said: "Do you still want to pick it? There are more in front."

Jiang Ancheng shook his head: "I won't pick it anymore, let's go back if we insist on picking up some more fungus."

"it is good."

Jiang Ancheng and Chen Yufei walked for a while, and suddenly, Rhubarb stopped and nodded with his nose.

Jiang Ancheng looked down and saw that it was a clump of dermatophytes.

This fungus looks ugly, like untreated tripe.

However, when fried with chili, it is fragrant and chewy.

Among the types of dried mushrooms on the market, prickly pears are considered expensive.

Because the fungus can make the taste of meat tendons, and it is very delicious when made into snacks, Yiwei Minong's fungus food processing factory purchases a lot of prickly fungus.

Jiang Ancheng set up a fungus processing factory, and the dermatophytes were also being harvested. Picking up the clump of dermatophytes, Jiang Ancheng asked, "What's the price of the dermatomes this year?"

Chen Yufei was in charge of collecting mushrooms, and he was no longer limited to matsutake. He knew the price better than Jiang Ancheng.

Chen Yufei laughed and said, "There are a lot of people buying fungi today, and the prices are generally increasing."

In addition to the fungus boom driven by matsutake export, there are also reasons for the active domestic economy and the continuous rise of processing plants.

Jiang Ancheng laughed and said, "The price of mushrooms will get higher and higher."

Tired from walking, Jiang Ancheng and Chen Yufei found a place to rest.

Jiang Ancheng took out two eggs from his bag, and Chen Yufei also took out dried beef and pancakes from his bag to eat together.

Rhubarb and Xiao Hei ate two pieces of beef, and then looked at the egg in Jiang Ancheng's hand eagerly.

Jiang Ancheng ate the eggs in one bite, and gave them some biscuits from his bag.

Suddenly, Jiang Ancheng glanced out of the corner of his eye and found a wild peach tree in front of him.

The tree still seems to be full of fruit.

Jiang Ancheng immediately became interested, and walked in to have a look.

The tree is full of peaches with a little red in the green.

This kind of peach has a crisp and sweet taste in the early stage of ripening, and it is as juicy as a peach in the later stage.

What Jiang Ancheng likes most is the crispy and sweet taste.

This peach tree faces the sun and bears a lot of fruit.

They were also relatively big, so Jiang Ancheng and Chen Yufei picked one up and took a bite. The taste was quite good.

Rhubarb and Xiao Hei also picked up a fallen peach on the ground and began to chew on it.

Chen Yufei said: "Brother, do you want to pick some?"

The simple and thrifty mountain people will not let go of such a good wild peach.

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said: "Pick, pick a little more, let's go back and share."

"it is good."

The peach tree was not tall, so it was easy to pick. They picked a lot, and there were still a lot left on the tree.

However, the ones they picked were all relatively large, and they felt very attractive and appetizing when they were placed in the back strap, just like a beautiful oil painting.

They also picked mushrooms, peaches and pine cones, and it was time to go down the mountain.

Based on the truffle situation on the mountain where they are, Jiang Ancheng can probably estimate how many truffles he can harvest this summer.

The quality of truffles in winter will be better and bigger, and the quantity will probably double by then.

Jiang Ancheng has already decided that when the procedures are complete and the contract is signed, he will buy a large number of truffles.

As for the purchase price he gave, it can't be too little, nor can it be too high at once.

Otherwise, the room for gradually increasing prices will shrink, and a lot of profits will be lost.

When Jiang Ancheng and Chen Yufei went down the mountain, they also passed by the place where everyone planted dendrobium.

The forest in the village is shared by everyone, so this forest has been re-divided, and now there are artificially planted dendrobium trees on the forest trees where every household lives.

Chen Yufei looked at these dendrobiums directly nailed to the tree, and gave Jiang Ancheng a thumbs up: "Brother, you are really amazing, you can think of planting dendrobium like this, if you know that dendrobium can be grown like this, our village will be rich long ago gone."

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said: "It's just a coincidence. I didn't expect it to succeed. The flowers of Dendrobium are beautiful and have high medicinal value. It will bring a lot of economic value in the future. The mountain road can be repaired. In the future, our village can teach In other villages, just selling seedlings is enough for everyone to make a fortune."

Chen Yufei nodded excitedly: "But I can't plant it. Otherwise, I will ask someone to help me plant it."

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said, "If you don't find it troublesome, it's totally fine."

"it is good."

Back in the yard at home, Jiang Ancheng looked around, but he didn't find Xiao Yu'er and Zeng Shuanglin, probably gone somewhere.

Jiang Ancheng and Chen Yufei got some firewood, buried all the pine cones and lit them.

The thick white smoke was seen by Xiao Yu'er in a short while.

He realized that Jiang Ancheng might have returned from the mountains, so he hurried back with Zeng Shuanglin.

When they got home, they still had baskets in their hands, which were full of crayfish they caught on the ridge of the field.

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said, "I'm back."

Chen Yufei saw that they were all dirty, and said with a smile, "I'll get you some water, wash them first, and you'll have pine nuts to eat right away."

As soon as he heard the pine nuts, Xiao Yu'er's eyes lit up. As long as he could remember, Sun Miaolan liked to give him stones to smash pine nuts to eat.

It was one of his few snacks, and Xiao Yuer liked it.

The two of them happily went to wash their feet, hands and faces. When they came out, Jiang Ancheng had already put out the fire and pulled out the pine cone from the ashes.

Jiang Ancheng asked them to bring two small benches, and asked Chen Yufei to bring the hatchet, and simply cut the charred pine cone in half, and then carefully picked out the pine nuts inside one by one, and put them in the dustpan inside.

Zeng Shuanglin had seen pine nuts in the market, and when he saw that there were pine nuts in the pine cone, he was surprised and pleasantly surprised: "It turns out that the pine nuts came out of it!"

Jiang Ancheng nodded: "Learned new knowledge again, there are many good things in the mountains, and pine nuts are one of them."

In the year of his death, the price of pine nuts had reached hundreds of yuan per catty.

But now, pine nuts are not easy to peel, pick or process, and have not been welcomed by the market.

Many people would rather eat peanuts than pine nuts.

Zeng Shuanglin nodded, and saw Xiao Yu'er picked up a pine nut and bit it into his mouth.

The pine nut shell was quite smooth and hard, and the little fish didn't bite it open, fearing that he might swallow it alive, so Jiang Ancheng went to find them two stones.

They were peeling pine nuts, while Xiao Yu'er and Zeng Shuanglin were beside them smashing pine nuts to eat.

The happy scene was not broken until Li Shengli came to ask them to eat.

Li Shengli also asked by the way: "Have you entered the mountain?"

Jiang Ancheng nodded: "Yes, I went into the mountains and got some mushrooms and peaches. You can go back and eat those."

Li Shengli refused: "No need, just feed it to the children."

Jiang Ancheng said with a smile: "They just have small appetites, as much as they can eat, take some and go."

Li Shengli looked at Maotao, it was really good, it looked like it was delicious.

Li Shengli nodded: "Then I'll just take a few."

Xiao Yuer is super generous, and he also likes Li Shengli very much. He borrowed flowers to present Buddha and raised a handful of pine nuts.

Xiao Yu'er said: "Uncle Li, and pine nuts, give them too!"

Li Shengli took the pine nuts in his hand, and said unexpectedly: "You guys went to pick the pine cones? Do Xiaoyuer and Shuanglin like to eat them? I like them. I still have some that were stir-fried last year. Take some away later." Bar."

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said, "This is enough for them to eat."

Xiao Yu'er and Zeng Shuanglin also nodded in unison.

Li Shengli smiled and didn't force himself, "Okay, then let's eat first, get some fish and frogs."

Hearing about the frog, Xiao Yuer immediately grabbed Zeng Shuanglin, and said proudly, "Have you ever eaten frogs? Frogs are delicious!"

Zeng Shuanglin had never eaten frogs before, so he shook his head: "No."

Xiao Yu'er immediately said again: "Let's go eat quickly!"

The two of them ran first, followed by the adults, passing by the hillside contracted by Jiang Ancheng, the flower seedlings were growing gratifyingly.

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said, "In a month or so, the flower buds will probably form."

Chen Yufei sighed: "It's so fast!"

If the first batch of flowers can be sold at a good price in the city, so that everyone can make money, more and more people will grow flowers with them.

The mayor doesn't have to go around to convince other villagers anymore.

The mayor of the town was very worried before that the villagers in other villages would not cooperate in planting flowers, so as to make money and at the same time drive the development of the local economy.

However, it is still very difficult for the common people to buy flower seedlings out of their own pockets and plant things that do not know whether they can make money.

If Jiang Ancheng's batch of fresh-cut flowers can have a good harvest, there will be enough reasons to convince everyone.

Li Shengli said with a smile: "It's not bad, I hope it doesn't encounter heavy rain and drought."

They rarely have this kind of climate, but there are still a few days every year that are particularly dry.

After finishing speaking, Li Shengli felt that he had a crow's mouth, and hurriedly poohed on the ground.

Jiang Ancheng suddenly remembered that this year in his previous life seemed to have indeed encountered a drought that was rare in a century.

Even though it was the rainy season, it didn't rain all the time, so the fungus in the soil couldn't grow.

Back then, many crops died.

It made the situation of Jiang Ancheng and Sun Miaolan worse.

Jiang Ancheng woke up suddenly, and said to Li Shengli: "We have to dig a canal!"

Li Shengli was a little puzzled: "Dig a canal?"

Chen Yufei also said, "Now?"

Jiang Ancheng nodded hastily: "Yes, it will be convenient for us to dig a canal for planting flowers, and it will be convenient for watering."

Li Shengli was a little puzzled: "But there is a small river below us, so I don't think it's necessary."

Jiang Ancheng looked down the line of sight from the hillside, and deliberately said to Li Shengli: "Look, there is very little rain this year, and the riverbed is exposed. Maybe there is really no water. If there is no water, it will be a big deal. The flowers and seedlings will be all gone." have to die."

"After digging the canal, we can reserve water. I will buy some watering machines for watering. It will be convenient for integrated watering at that time."

When Jiang Ancheng said this, Li Shengli also took a careful look at the riverbed, nodded and said, "There is really little rain this year. If we want to build a canal, why not do it now?"

Jiang Ancheng nodded: "Repair it now, I'll pay for the materials."

As soon as these words came out, Li Shengli's worry was put into his stomach.

Since someone bought the materials, everyone was contributing their physical strength, and the purpose of digging the canal was to plant flowers better and make money for everyone. Presumably, it was easy to convince everyone.

Li Shengli nodded and said: "Okay, I will tell you later, design first, and then start construction."

Jiang Ancheng nodded: "Yeah, when I go to the city, I'll ask someone to buy a water pump. Once the canal is dug, I'll store up the water for emergencies."

Jiang Ancheng's words seemed to predict that there would be a shortage of water for planting flowers.

However, there was indeed little water on the riverbed, so Li Shengli dispelled his doubts.

In addition to river prawns, there are steamed eggs with truffles that were freshly picked today.

This is a common way to eat locally, but in western restaurants, just two or three slices of truffles on top cost tens of dollars a bowl.

After Jiang Ancheng ate half a bowl, he said to Li Shengli: "In a few days, I will buy a large amount of Suigong fungus. At that time, I will have to trouble the village chief to buy according to the rules like matsutake."

This made Li Shengli a little puzzled, "Why do you need so many Arches suis?"

Even if it is made into processed food, in their place, the fungus suis, which has a special taste, is not popular.

Chen Yufei hurriedly said: "Brother Niu went to Shanghai, and some people really like pig arch fungus, so they sent several batches there."

Because the plane was going to Shanghai and was on a connecting flight to Europe, Chen Yufei still believed that the consumption market of Suigum suis was in China.

There is indeed consumption in domestic western restaurants, but compared to foreign countries, there are still very few people who enjoy it.

Jiang Ancheng nodded and said, "Well, we have negotiated a big deal, and the price of Suigong fungus will be good when the time comes."
