The conditions of the county guest house are still good, otherwise Qu Jiacheng would not be able to arrange Xu Shiyan's family here.

Xu Shiyan asked for two rooms, Xu Chenghou and his wife led the two boys, and Xu Shiyan and his wife led the two daughters, so it was more reasonable to live like this.

Everyone got up early and went up the mountain, wandered around the Qingshan Valley for a long time in the middle, and drove for so long in the afternoon, it was really a little tired.

Lying in bed, I really don't really want to remember.

At about half past five, Qu Jiacheng and Gao Mingyuan came to the county guest house.

There were also other cadres from the county, as well as people from the Agricultural Bureau and the Commercial Bureau sent by the city.

The director of the Agricultural Bureau met Xu Shiyan at the Fusong Ginseng Festival.

Last year, Xu Shiyan bought a lot of sea fish and prawns from Dandong through him, and they also sent Xu Shiyan frozen crabs and some dried seafood.

As soon as he heard that Xu Shiyan was here this time, the other party took the initiative to ask for help and came to pick up Xu Shiyan.

I just want to catch up with Xu Shiyan and ask by the way, if I can cooperate again this year.

When everyone met, Qu Jiacheng introduced each other, and Xu Shiyan shook hands with each other one by one.

On the other hand, they also bought some things for Xu Chenghou's family and four children.

Xu Shiyan is not good at saying no, people have said that this is for the elderly and children.

I had no choice but to accept it, and I would return the gift when I had the opportunity to return it later.

"Everyone, it's not too early, so let's go down to eat and talk while eating."

Qu Jiacheng saw that this room was not big, and the room was quite crowded, so why not go to the restaurant downstairs and sit down and chat?

"Yes, yes, you see that I am happy to see Mr. Xu.

Let's go, let's go downstairs for dinner, there's nothing too good in the local area, just don't dislike it. ”

Secretary Yan, the number one in the county, laughed when he heard Qu Jiacheng's words.

In this way, the group went downstairs to the dining room of the guest house.

The family specially asked for two tables of dishes, one table was prepared for Zhou Guilan, Su Anying's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and children.

Xu Chenghou was originally supposed to sit with Xu Shiyan and Qu Jiacheng and others.

Xu Chenghou felt that he was old, and he didn't drink, and he couldn't talk when he sat down with those cadres, so he shirked a few words and sat at another table.

The meal is quite hearty, not to mention the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but it is almost the same.

There are several kinds of fish alone, such as crowberry, heavy lip, and fine scales, all of which are well-known freshwater fish in the local area.

There is also a small fish that is stewed in sauce.

Zhou Guilan looked at it and said, it is called the Red Lady, the unique fish here in Kuandian, it is the best to stew it in sauce.

Needless to say, it used to be eaten in large houses.

Back then, Xu Shiyan met Guo Shouye with the fine-scale fish and earned living expenses.

Aohua is one of the three flowers and five Luo, the flesh is delicate and fat, especially the steamed Aohua, which is extremely delicious.

The heavy lips, in Xu Chenghou's words, are called insects in the local language.

The mouth of the insect fish is the most delicious, and this fish has a nourishing effect.

In addition to fish, there are also tree pheasants, which are also known as flying dragon birds.

The dragon meat that is called the dragon meat in the sky and the donkey meat on the ground is this thing.

The Flying Dragon Stew is delicious without any seasoning.

In addition, there are beef, mutton, etc., which can be said to be flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and running on the ground.

Although most of these things are also available at home, they are carefully prepared, and you can see that they are attentive at a glance.

"Look at it, isn't this causing trouble to Brother Yan and Brother Qu again?

This table of dishes costs a lot of money. Xu Shiyan said politely.

"What's the trouble then? The main reason is that I don't know what uncles and aunts like to eat, these are what our locals love to eat.

I thought, my uncle and aunt have been away from home for all these years, and I must be thinking about it, so I will taste the taste of our hometown.

It's a pity that there are no silkworms at this time.

If there is one, I have to make a whole plate of everything, let my uncle and aunt taste it, it is a good thing. ”

The silkworm that Qu Jiacheng said is also known as the mountain silkworm.

Eating the leaves of the oak tree, the silk spit out has a natural yellow color.

There were many farmers who raised silkworms in Kuandian before, and before Zhou Guilan married into the Xu family, she also raised silkworms in her mother's family.

The flesh of this silkworm is relatively firm, and it tastes particularly fragrant.

Generally, when the silkworms grow up, before they spin silk and form cocoons, catch some back.

Holding the silkworm with one hand, the index finger of the other hand pushes the silkworm's head back, and the green intestines come out.

This process is also called gelding.

The gelding silkworm is scalded to death with hot water, and it can be fried and eaten directly, or it can be fried and eaten wrapped in noodles, and it can also be chopped and wrapped in dumplings, which are particularly fragrant.

Moreover, the nutritional value of the silkworm is very high, which is very good for small children.

Spring silkworms form cocoons in late June, and this is mid-July, and there really isn't.

"Gee, you don't have to bother with that.

Although I have never seen a silkworm, I heard my mother always say that she used to raise it at home.

It's not easy to raise, it's expensive. When Xu Shiyan heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand.

Farmed silkworms are not the same as mulberry silkworms.

Mulberry silkworms are raised at home, and a house is set aside alone, and mulberry leaves are picked and fed, so mulberry silkworms are also called silkworms.

Silkworms are known as mountain silkworms and need to be stocked in the forest.

The large area of oak forests begins to release silkworms from the young leaves of the oak trees until the end of June when the cocoons are formed.

Tussah silkworms are fat and delicious, and are the favorite of many birds.

Therefore, when stocking silkworms, we must pay attention to driving away birds, otherwise, it is easy to lose the entire mountain field by birds.

Xu Shiyan heard Zhou Guilan say that it was very hard to raise silkworms in the past, and he had to go to herd silkworms and catch birds every morning.

Some people specialize in raising guns, and when they see a flock of birds coming, they directly release two guns to scare the birds away.

If you don't have a gun, you can only use a slingshot to fight, and you can only harvest silkworm cocoons and sell them for some money.

"Yes, we have fewer silkworms now, and we are too tired to make money." Qu Jiacheng sighed with emotion.

In the glorious period of Kuandian, the silkworm could be supplied to many cities in the northeast, and even sold to the capital.

Now it's not good, most people are worried about going to work in the factory, who is willing to get up early and spend that effort to raise silkworms.

"Brother Xu, I heard that this ginseng over there sells very well and is quite profitable.

Actually, we also have ginseng on our side.

Like Shizhuzi Village, there is a famous Shizhuzi ginseng in the whole country.

Ordinary garden ginseng is also planted, but the area is not so large.

I'm thinking about discussing with you, buy some ginseng seeds from you in the fall, and how about developing ginseng here? ”

Yan Shaoqing asked Xu Shiyan tentatively.

Ginseng is also produced in Kuan and Huan, but due to the limited terrain, the ginseng yield here is low, the planting area is not large, and the ginseng industry has never been able to develop.

These cadres in the county feel that ginseng is quite profitable.

If the county increases support, gives more preferential policies, learns from Fusong, and builds the industry, it can drive the local area to get rich.

They have this idea, but they don't know how to implement it.

I happened to meet Xu Shiyan today, and I knew that Xu Shiyan was an expert in ginseng production-related industries, so I asked Xu Shiyan for advice.
