Chapter 36 Sold out, small profit
Grandma grew these sweet potatoes herself in the vegetable garden in front of the house. There were not many of them, only a small patch, but they grew very well.
A few days ago, Li Xiang went into the mountains to dig for Polygonatum japonica. Grandma was alone at home, so she dug up the sweet potato field and harvested about two hundred kilograms, which are now piled in the old kitchen.
When the weather gets colder, Li Xiang digs a cellar and hides the sweet potatoes. Otherwise, the sweet potatoes will freeze.
When the sweet potato vines are in full bloom, the cane is also a vegetable, very refreshing and Li Xiang's favorite.
And roasted sweet potatoes are a rare delicacy.
The roasted sweet potatoes sold in big cities are extremely expensive, and they can’t produce the aroma and sweetness when roasted.
Li Xiang's organic sweet potatoes are soft and glutinous after roasting, golden and translucent, and sweet and attractive.
"Grandma, eat it!" Li Xiang was very filial and handed the first sweet potato to grandma, "Be careful! It's hot!"
But this roasted sweet potato tastes best when eaten while it’s hot.
The second and third ones were thrown into the dog bowl. Dahuang and Erhuang were already waiting beside them, and they were all lagging.
The fourth and fifth ones belong to Li Xiang.
Because the sweet potatoes were too big, grandma didn’t finish the one, so she gave them rhubarb. Because rhubarb devours it voraciously and eats it the fastest. When there are still two yellow huangs, it just looks at it.
Li Xiang will naturally not forget the cat.
He broke off a small piece, walked into the house, and put it in the cat bowl. The old cat smelled the fragrance and climbed out immediately.
Li Xiang's cat eats plenty of fish every day, but eating some sweet potatoes is also very good for the cat's health.
Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamins, dietary fiber and minerals. These ingredients can help improve cats’ immunity, promote gastrointestinal motility, and improve constipation and other problems.
Pet cats in the city have hair balls blocking their stomachs and urinary obstruction. Cats in the countryside basically do not have these problems.
Of course, Li Xiang only feeds it to the old cat, while the kittens are still mainly feeding on milk.
Kittens' gastrointestinal development is not complete. Eating sweet potatoes at this time may cause indigestion, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms. How could Li Xiang, who even had to pick out the fish bones in the cat's bowl, feed the little ones blindly?
Those five little ones still play in the cat's nest every day. Fortunately, the loving cat's nest made by Li Xiang is big enough. Otherwise, it would be too crowded for the mother cat and five children.
It’s not that they don’t want to come out, but that the little guys are still too young and the “threshold” of the cat’s nest is too high to climb out. Even if they finally “escaped” outside, the mother cat took them back in time.
This old cat takes very close care of her children.
Because Xiaobai has "huge potential", when Li Xiang went to see the kitten again, he didn't feel so uncomfortable when he saw Xiaobai being bullied. Instead, he felt that this might be a "training" for him.
If there is a lack of these "trainings", maybe you won't be able to become a talented person?
"When heaven is about to entrust a person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, and starve his body and skin... The same goes for kittens." Li Xiang sighed with emotion.
Li Xiang sympathized with the naughty cow cat: You are so awesome now, but in the future you will not be as good as the brothers who are often bullied by you.
All we can say is that each cat has its own destiny.
Li Xiang decided to wait until the kittens grew up and could tell whether they were male or female, and then he would take the cow cats and Xiaoju to the market to sell them, or exchange them with others for a few "mates". There must be both males and females among these cats. If they were kept together, the cats would be unethical and would definitely mess around. Li Xiang was also considering their reproduction.
The scenes of Li Xiang steaming Polygonatum sibiricum, roasting sweet potatoes, and feeding dogs and cats at night were naturally filmed and edited into the video.
Once the video was released, it received over 10,000 likes and thousands of comments within one day.
It has to be said that although he only has 70,000 to 80,000 fans, he is very loyal. Because of his good character, high quality and low price, and genuine products, there are more people who repurchase.
The "nine steamed and nine dried" Polygonatum japonica has not completed all the processes, but fans have started to place reservations one after another.
Mainly, this thing is really good. Its main functions and functions are to enhance immunity, regulate qi and blood, nourish the kidneys and replenish essence.
Especially nourishing the kidneys and replenishing the essence, the detailed explanation is to nourish the kidneys, which can relieve the symptoms of dizziness and headaches, premature graying of hair and beard, soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, and general weakness caused by kidney deficiency.
In addition, it also has the functions and effects of nourishing the spleen, replenishing qi, nourishing yin and moistening the lungs.
Other selling points may not be "powerful" enough, but treating kidney deficiency is really attractive.
These days, everyone is in sub-health, especially middle-aged men over forty, who are increasingly declining in that area and unable to meet their expectations. Therefore, as soon as Li Xiang's "good medicine" was launched, everyone became enthusiastic.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Nine steaming and nine drying, which means it takes nine days and nights, is a method of preparing medicinal materials.
After being steamed and sun-dried for nine times, Polygonatum is sweet, warm, soft in texture, and rich in oil, which eliminates its irritation (eating raw Polygonatum will cause numbness in the tongue and discomfort in the throat), prolongs the storage time, and most importantly, It can enhance the effects of aphrodisiac, replenishing qi, fighting anemia and improving immunity.
The reason why Li Xiang steamed at night was so that he could catch the sun during the day. Moreover, the fire was very warm at night, but sometimes the wind was a bit strong. He decided to build another kitchen, one that was cold and windproof, specifically for use in autumn and winter.
The original kitchen was open and the "walls" were made of bamboo, which was suitable for summer use.
Li Xiang now has a little money and can afford bricks, tiles and cement, so he has the financial strength to build a spacious kitchen.
However, there is no time for the time being, and we need to wait for the "nine steaming and nine drying" processes of Polygonatum to be completed.
Time passed by, and 300 kilograms of wild Polygonatum japonica were carefully selected. They were steamed in a large steamer every night and dried during the day. After nine nights and nine days, Li Xiang got a total of about 95 kilograms of high-quality dry goods.
Li Xiang's quotation is 480 yuan per kilogram, which is cheaper than the market price, which is a way of giving back to the fans.
Fans are also very supportive. Even before he was filming the video, they had already placed orders one after another, and almost all of the goods were ordered. After the goods were completed, he started live streaming to sell them, and they were sold out within an hour.
The total amount earned was more than 45,000 yuan, which was not much, but for Li Xiang, who only worked hard for ten days, it was a good deal, equivalent to four to five thousand a day's wages.
Li Xiang now has about 100,000 in cash, so he can have a good New Year this year.
"Thank you fans, thank you veterans!" Li Xiang thanked him repeatedly during the live broadcast. People bought him face. If he didn't even say "thank you", how could he be justified?
The autumn wind became bleak, so Li Xiang went to the city to buy some winter clothes for himself and his grandmother. He also bought some snacks that girls love, such as chocolate, plums, spicy strips, potato chips, yogurt, melon seeds, biscuits, jelly, etc. Wait, because November is here, Jiang Caier's monthly vacation is coming, and she will be back soon.
