Chapter 89 Chapter 89 It’s the end of the year
It's simple, yet not simple at the same time.
This guest was originally recommended by Song Yijin.
She was pleasantly surprised when she drank honey for the first time at Yushu Healing Hotel.
Her stomach felt better, she slept soundly through the night, and her whole body felt relaxed, which was something the masseuses hadn't been able to achieve. After that, she came whenever she had time, and she stopped taking the stomach medicine she used to take regularly, and she no longer felt uncomfortable.
It just so happened that there was a business collaboration at that time, but it wasn't quite right.
She sought help from her partner's mother in a roundabout way, which was to take her to Yushu Healing Hotel. Sure enough, she fell in love with the hotel the first time. Since she was not short of money, she applied for a membership card immediately and asked for the best service.
That is to say, the food and drinks are of the highest standard.
The highest standard of the hotel here used to be the overpriced vegetables bought from imported supermarkets, but now they all buy them from Jiang's shop. However, the customers they serve value quality over quantity, so the quantity purchased is not large and is only provided to a small number of customers. The highest standard requirements have also been raised a lot, and they make more money.
The guest naturally enjoyed this benefit.
She herself suffers from lung cancer, a condition left over from her early years of hard work. Later, she did not have the time to take good care of herself, and it worsened and turned into cancer. She felt uncomfortable in many parts of her body, especially her breathing.
But since coming here, she can clearly feel that her breathing has become much smoother.
My lungs, which had felt like they were dying, seemed to slowly start to come back to life.
Under normal circumstances, Song Yijin just had some minor stomach problems. At most, he would think that it could maintain his health, was a good thing, and was worth the money. It would be great if he could get a supply channel, but it was okay if he couldn't.
But for people with lung cancer, the difference is huge.
For example, the symptoms of coughing up blood have been alleviated. It should have been difficult for her to fall asleep at night, but as she reports here every day, her sleep quality is getting better and better; the pain in her chest has also gradually eased a lot.
The change is huge and obvious.
At first, Du Guili thought it was an illusion. Fortunately, she went for a physical examination every month. Occasionally, when her condition worsened, she would be hospitalized for a few days. In the past, each time the condition would be a little worse than the previous one.
Until this time, the doctor told her with certainty that her cancer was improving. Although there seemed to be no specific feedback at the moment, the cancer cells had stopped spreading and were actually decreasing. So the doctor asked her if she had eaten anything good and also asked her what was effective for lung cancer.
Du Guili naturally thought of honey first.
Her family was wealthy and powerful, and Wan Jianyu could not afford to offend them, so he could only tell the truth about the source of the honey.
Du Guili knew that the hotel also bought its goods from Boss Jiang, so she thought about purchasing directly from the boss. However, she learned about the many rules of the Jiang family shop. One of them was that no matter how they lobbied, Jiang Heng had not agreed to a stable supply.
Unless there are too many products and it is difficult to sell them online, they will all be put on the shelves in the store and let people buy them themselves.
Until now, every staff member of their hotel has a follower and has developed an extremely fast hand speed to grab tickets, because whoever grabs the honey will get a handsome reward!
The same goes for other commodities, such as vegetables and fruits, but the rewards are slightly less.
There is no way. As the reputation of Jiang’s shop grows, many people are willing to spend a lot of money to test the waters.
There are also bloggers online who grabbed some honey and then started a live broadcast to review it.
The majority of people praise it, but there are still some negative reviews. Not everyone knows the product, and some people just want to take advantage of the popularity.
But even so, even though Boss Jiang has made some success in beekeeping and the amount of honey is increasing, it is still becoming increasingly difficult to buy honey.
The only advantage is that it has become quite popular online, and its price is too affordable compared to real high-end products, so it has not yet been targeted by the truly wealthy.
After thinking about it, Wan Jianyu changed his words again.
Already being targeted.
Fortunately, the one in front of me is the most powerful one at the moment.
In fact, many people have long realized the benefits of honey and have come to him to inquire about it, but he has the support of his boss and has refused to tell anyone. Until now, the other party has learned everything directly from the boss, hoping to obtain a stable purchasing quota.
When Wan Jianyu got the news, he contacted Jiang Heng immediately.
Because the other party wanted Jiang Heng's contact information.
And on their side, he is the only one who has it.
"Ms. Du said that if you can maintain a stable supply, she'll pay 200,000 yuan per kilogram of honey. If you want to raise the price, that's fine too. Everything is negotiable," Wan Jianyu said gently. "She can also give you a satisfactory price for your fruits and vegetables. Most importantly, she owns shares in some high-end supermarkets. If you want your products to enter the high-end market, she can help you get them there immediately. She also needs your contact information."
——
After hearing Wan Jianyu's words, Jiang Heng's expression remained unchanged.
Quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and this will happen sooner or later.
She has been controlling the concentration of spiritual energy in these vegetables and fruits, for fear that the quality would change too quickly and cause too much noise. Otherwise, she could inject more spiritual energy to improve the quality of these vegetables even further.
But the situation is different with honey.
Honey itself contains many ingredients that are good for the human body. Buying good honey and drinking it for a long time is good for the human body. Her honey is made by bees diligently collecting the essence of hundreds of flowers. The spiritual energy contained in it is a little more than that of simple vegetables and fruits. Especially since it is small in size, one spoonful is equivalent to several kilograms of vegetables.
However, it is expensive, few people are willing to drink it every day, and not many people can buy it. Therefore, it is estimated that there are not many cases where it has caused real qualitative changes so far.
It has been almost four months since this customer first tasted the honey, now in November, which is still an acceptable amount of time.
In reality, many good things can cure stubborn diseases and even cancer.
It’s just that those things have become scarce due to the unlimited mining by humans in the past.
It's almost impossible to buy the real thing.
But those who are really powerful still have channels to get it.
It is normal that a new and miraculous thing has emerged now.
The guest Wan Jianyu mentioned was still very polite and knew to let the middleman pass on the message. If he were a more domineering person, he might just be notified.
Of course, Jiang Heng is not someone who can be manipulated by others.
Not wanting people to discover her abnormality is one thing, but it is better to be discovered than to live in a timid way.
So after thinking for a moment, she said, "Rules are rules. I won't change this. You can give her the contact information. If she can't accept it, she can talk to me directly."
Wan Jianyu sighed, "I knew you'd say that." He felt a little worried. After all, Boss Jiang and Ye Suisui were good friends. They were both young people, full of youthful energy, and they were always a little stubborn. But sometimes, when they met unreasonable people, they really suffered. "Will you really not reconsider? Ms. Du is a good person and has a good reputation in the industry. She wouldn't be angry if you really rejected her, but if it were someone else, it might not be the same. Besides, agreeing to her would have many benefits."
Jiang Heng chuckled: "Don't worry, Uncle Wan, at worst I won't be in the honey business anymore."
Wan Jianyu:? ! ! !
He was completely numb for a moment, and immediately said, "No! Don't be impulsive. This is such a good business, and I called you to persuade you to raise the price! If you really have any problems, please tell me. My boss is still thinking about buying your honey! I'm definitely willing to help!"
He was completely shocked and paced back and forth anxiously.
Given this girl's decisive nature and her dislike of being bound by rules, she might actually be able to do it.
If someone makes things difficult for her, she will flip the table.
If no one can buy it by then, then——(smile)
His hotel is going to blow up!
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Jiang Heng: "I won't do that easily, don't worry."
Wan Jianyu was not at all reassured, but he didn't say much, for fear that Jiang Heng would feel annoyed. Fortunately, the other party did not refuse the 500,000 yuan he transferred, but just asked for an additional gift contract to ensure that there would be no problem with the money.
After hanging up the phone, he looked at his boss helplessly and spread his hands: "You heard it too, this girl can't be easily manipulated."
The owner of Yushu Healing Hotel is named Duan, and he is also one of the beneficiaries of long-term honey consumption. After listening to the phone call, he was unusually silent.
I have never seen such a bad-tempered businessman.
Even 500,000 yuan as a stepping stone didn't impress her.
She actually also wanted to take the opportunity to ensure a stable supply.
result……
"Forget it." Boss Duan was a skilled trader, prioritizing the customer's comfort. He wasn't one to push too hard, so he quickly gave up. "If she doesn't want to, forget it. But I can still try to persuade her later. What if she finally relents someday?"
"I will." Wan Jianyu agreed readily.
Boss Duan didn't say much, and turned around and sent Jiang Heng's contact information and her decision to Du Guili.
——
Jiang Heng took the money very readily.
Because she was the one who caused the premium.
Send the card number after the call ends.
I had just received the electronic version of the 500,000 yuan transfer and gift contract, and had a delicious barbecue with Wu Huiying, when I received a call from Du Guili.
The other party politely introduced himself first, then spoke quickly, "Boss Jiang, we're both straightforward people. I won't beat around the bush. I just want to ask why you won't agree to a stable supply. The conditions I offer are definitely better than you expected. I guarantee you won't suffer any loss, including entering the supermarket. We can keep our commission to a minimum, charging only a service fee."
Her voice was hoarse and grainy, as if her throat had been rubbed with sandpaper, and she coughed twice after finishing a sentence.
Jiang Heng paused, waiting for her to recover before saying, "I'm sorry, it's not about whether the conditions are good or not, I just don't want to be bound by anything."
Du Guili frowned, her not-so-young voice sounding somewhat puzzled: "But now that you're opening an online store, isn't that also a constraint?"
Jiang Heng hinted, "That's different. When I open an online store, I'm facing the public. Besides, I can quit at any time if I don't want to. There's no contract that can constrain me to provide a certain amount of goods."
Du Guili was about to say that she could offer the same conditions, but suddenly she remembered the obvious changes in her body. Xiao Song, who recommended her to go, also said that her stomach had been feeling much better recently, and her energy and spirit were different. It wasn't the kind of difference that came from overdrawing her body, but a real improvement, which was fully illustrated by their two physical examination reports.
It goes without saying that even if the product is good, it should still be available to the general public.
We have become accustomed to the rich and powerful driving up the prices of good things and then confining them to a small, well-known area, ensuring that they themselves have stable access while trying not to provide other ordinary people with access.
For example, when it comes to residence, rich people like to live in a low-key and quiet environment.
Some places will even lower their prices after becoming well-known to the public.
On the contrary, Boss Jiang's approach...
It can be said that he is worthy of being a young man.
Du Guili straightened her expression. The other party had dreams and his own persistence. If she continued to be stubborn, it would be a bit embarrassing. She smiled and said, "I understand. Boss Jiang has a good idea. I will grab the honey myself. I hope Boss Jiang can continue. If you have any problems, just come to me. My Du family still has some power, cough cough cough..."
This speech was probably a bit long, and at the end she couldn't help coughing.
The cough was so heart-wrenching that it hurt just to listen to it.
But she soon calmed down a little, drank two sips of water, and then covered the receiver with her hands and coughed twice. After that, she recovered a little and said helplessly, "I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well. Fortunately, I have your honey."
It's like a life-saving existence.
Jiang Heng listened to her voice becoming increasingly hoarse after coughing, and couldn't help but remind her: "...It will be December soon, and the bees will go into hibernation, and honey will be out of stock by then."
Du Guili: “……?”
You just said you have to grab it yourself, but you may not be able to grab it soon.
This is her life-saving medicine!!!
Jiang Heng: "But it will be available again next spring."
By November, the production of wild honey has dropped significantly. The situation is better at her home. She has been replanting flowers and has a constant supply of nectar. But if it gets any colder, the flowers will really not bloom.
Of course, bees also hibernate.
In order to ensure the inventory, she kept some honeysuckle honey for herself and gave a small portion to others, and sold the rest.
Therefore, if the bees stop producing honey, she will be out of stock immediately.
There is a way to ensure that there is a shortage of goods, which is to reduce the sales output, but this is meaningless to her. She does not want to have a fixed transaction with others, and she will not make more money by extending the transaction time, so she has to cut off the transaction when necessary.
Du Guili smiled bitterly: "Then I can only ask people to grab more of them in the next few weeks."
Jiang Heng gently reminded him, "If you don't get one, you can consider going out to relax. A change of environment might help you feel better."
Then he made an excuse and hung up the phone.
Du Guili stared at her phone for a long moment. She didn't think Jiang Heng was just saying this casually. Considering the recent online popularity of Jiang's shop, a natural oxygen bar? Perhaps there were other benefits, too.
She decisively called her child and said she was thinking of living away from home for a while.
When the Du family's children heard the news, they rushed back that night and asked nervously, "Mom, where are you going?"
"Why did you suddenly decide to go out?"
"Did something happen?"
"Also, you need to see a doctor regularly. It's not a good idea to be out for too long, right?"
"Yeah, where to go? Can the doctors here compare to the ones in Jing City?"
“…”
Du Guili had no way to interrupt the chatter, so she waited for them to finish their questions before she smiled and said, "Didn't I find a new kind of honey recently?"
When she asked, her three children nodded in unison and continued to stare at her.
Du Guili: "...My boss is running out of honey to sell, so I'm planning to live in a honey-producing area for a while. For such high-quality honey to be produced, the environment there must be great. Maybe it will have the same effect as honey."
The three children suddenly realized: "Is that so!"
"But I heard the conditions there are very bad, the road is very bumpy, and it's a village in the mountains, so it takes half an hour to get to the town..."
"If I get sick, it will take a long time to find a hospital!"
"Yeah, this is so unsafe!"
The eldest and second oldest brothers didn't agree.
After learning that their mother's lung cancer was under control to a certain extent, they immediately investigated Jiang's shop. The products seemed to be of very good quality, and the production environment was also said to be very good. However, the problem was that it was too remote. For a lung cancer patient like their mother who was about to enter the late stage, the medical resources there were not good, and it was too dangerous to go there.
Du Guili glared at the two children who objected. "What's wrong? You can't go because the conditions are bad? What did I teach you, eldest and second child?! You don't want to endure any hardship? They can grow such good honey, so the environment must be very good. How can the conditions be good in a place with a good environment?! Those places must be deep in the mountains and old forests. I want to tell you that our community can grow top-notch honey. Do you think it's possible?!"
The eldest and second oldest brothers lowered their heads in shame when asked.
Du Guili finished a long speech and coughed several times. She was so angry that even honey water couldn't calm her down immediately. She could only take a deep breath and said, "I'll go and try it first. I have medicine with me, so nothing serious will happen. If the environment is really good and can alleviate my condition, then I'll stay a little longer."
The eldest and the second oldest wanted to say something but hesitated, feeling uneasy but not knowing how to refute.
The third child, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up: "Mom is right, but the conditions over there are really not good. I'll go with you, and I can take care of it when the time comes. Is that okay?"
"Don't you have to go to work?" Du Guili frowned. "It's nothing serious. I won't go alone. I'll have bodyguards with me and drive an RV. It's fine."
The third child smiled and hugged her arm: "That won't work. My brothers and sisters will definitely be worried. It's best if I go with you. Besides, I'm a little tired recently. I need to rest for a while."
She is the third child and usually just plays a minor role in the company and has her share of work. She started a company for fun and is now facing bankruptcy.
She also wanted to coax her mother more so that she wouldn't be so angry when she found out that she was not good at anything.
Du Guili, who was unaware of her daughter's thoughts, smiled helplessly, but she also enjoyed her children's thoughtfulness: "Okay, then you go with me."
The eldest and second oldest brothers relaxed their frowns. "Then the third oldest brother, take good care of Mom. Remember to video call us every day to let us know you're safe. Also..."
The two of them chattered away.
It's like worrying about a child going away.
*
That's how things were settled.
Considering that Boss Jiang was too individualistic and was very tactful when reminding her, Du Guili did not mention her to her children. She went to Jiangjia Village in a low-key manner. Her RV was not as cool as those seen on the Internet. It was just an ordinary white RV.
Nowadays, people drive into Jiangjia Village from time to time, but their group is not eye-catching.
At most, they would exclaim in surprise. He must be a rich man, as he actually brought a nanny and a driver with him.
Jiang Heng didn't even realize that Du Guili had really come.
She reminded him of this because she thought this person was open-minded and had discovered the true benefits of honey, so she might as well mention it again and ignore the rest.
It's her own business whether she comes or not.
Jiang Heng is afraid of trouble, so he can only do this much.
It’s not that no one has mentioned online that eating her family’s fruits and vegetables is good for the body, but most people think that since they are purely natural, without additives or pesticide residues, then of course they can only be good for the body.
A small number of people don't believe it at all.
Occasionally, some more in-depth remarks would emerge, but they did not cause any waves.
As Jiang Heng ran out of lettuce and spinach, the online store was closed. In December, only a few resident birds remained here, and the enthusiasm for various things subsided.
The number of guests also dropped significantly.
The homestay that was originally full still has vacancies.
But there are still a group of guests who choose to stay here.
Jiang Heng also continued to sell, but the items he sold were greatly reduced. There were only chicken eggs, duck eggs, occasional goose eggs, and fish. The quantity was not large, so he could sell them all by just taking reservations and setting up a stall.
She has been busy cultivating the land during this period.
He had previously planted 100 acres of white radishes, which would be harvested around the New Year, as well as 10 acres of watermelons and 11 acres of strawberries. Jiang Heng started planting alfalfa on the remaining land.
Chinese milk vetch can fertilize the soil. In addition, it is also a kind of wild vegetable. The tender ones can be eaten cold.
Livestock also like to eat it.
When they grow up and bloom, the bees can produce a lot of honey. During the peak flowering period, they can be dug up and buried in the soil. New crops can be planted in about fifteen days. This is very effective for this kind of wasteland that has not been cultivated for many years.
It just so happened that Jiang Heng didn't want to take care of the land in winter, so at the end of November and the beginning of December, he plowed all the land deeply. The remaining land was more than 150 acres, not so exact, but almost the same. He sprinkled it all with milk vetch seeds, and they sprouted in two days.
After finishing the planting of the alfalfa, it is time to clean the pond.
All I have in mind is Pond No. 1, which can be expanded once it is treated.
Ponds No. 2 and No. 3 do not need to be cleaned. They are not used for breeding, but to imitate the conditions of wild ponds. The ecology here has entered a balance. It is only necessary to regularly put some fish and shrimp fry in to supplement the bottom food chain.
On the day of Qingtang, because we had announced it in advance, some guests got the news and rushed over specially.
In fact, it is very simple. The pond is not deep, and the deep water area is only about one meter. Therefore, the aquatic plants should be dealt with first, and then only a few people are needed to hold the fishing nets and fish from one side to the other little by little. A lot of silt on the bottom of the water is brought up wherever they pass, and fish, shrimps and crabs all run up because of the turbid water and are caught in the fishing nets.
If it is for special breeding, you also need to empty the water in the pond, dry the pond for a few days, and then disinfect and fertilize it.
Jiang Heng didn't need this step. She did this just to ensure that when she expanded the pond, the fish, shrimps and crabs she put in it were caught and sold in advance. At least she could get some money to prevent them from dying directly.
Moreover, this pond is more than one acre in size, which is quite large. After such a wave of harvest, the net bag was heavy. After processing and weighing, the total amount was shocking. There were more than 400 kilograms of various fish and more than 70 kilograms of crabs, which was more than Jiang Heng expected.
There were also dozens of kilograms of eels and five unlucky turtles that had nowhere to go and crawled into the net bag.
After handling everything one by one and transferring them to a tricycle, Jiang Heng drove the tricycle to the guardrail gate. The surrounding tourists immediately stretched their heads to look: "Wow! There are so many!!!"
"Turtle! Here we go again, awesome!!!"
"So many! I knew there would be good stuff in Qingtang!"
"Sister, it's a good thing you had a good relationship with the owner of the B&B. I knew this news in advance. It's so cool! The crabs in there are so fat..."
“I can’t believe how delicious these crabs must be!”
"The fish here are so fat. Each one of them must weigh several kilograms, right?"
"hiss!"
"Luckily I came here, I'm so happy!!!"
"I will definitely come back when the pigs and sheep are slaughtered, but I don't know when..."
This sentence reminded many people, and someone immediately asked: "Boss Jiang! When are you going to slaughter the pigs and sheep?! We want to eat meat again!"
The person next to him nodded quickly in agreement: "Yes, yes, I want to eat meat!"
Jiang Heng curled her lips when she heard that and replied, "A few days before the New Year, are you guys free to come over now?"
The guest nodded without hesitation: "Of course there is!"
"That's right, I'm coming over here just for the food!"
Jiang Heng smiled and said, "Okay, then you can come and buy them when the time comes. You can buy the freshest ones."
The tourists around immediately showed longing looks.
The freshest pork and mutton!!!
Before they could imagine it for long, Jiang Peng brought over the electronic scale and bags. Jiang Heng shouted, "It's ready for sale. Customers who want to buy, come and line up."
Without thinking about anything else, I quickly ran to queue up.
They are all good things, you must eat more!
——
Speaking of celebrating the New Year, New Year’s Day comes first.
The pig eunuchs and sheep eunuchs can continue to live freely for a while.
The bellies of the four pregnant ewes have grown a lot. When the veterinarian came to check this month, it was already apparent that two of the ewes were carrying twins and two were carrying a single baby. They all looked well during their pregnancy, eating and sleeping well. Especially in this winter when Jiang Heng can eat the Chinese cabbage, kale, and radish that everyone loves, along with some dry ingredients, they are very happy every day.
This year's Spring Festival is in mid-February of the Gregorian calendar. Time can be said to be fast and slow at the same time.
The main reason was that Jiang Heng was busy practicing, and he even went out for a trip in the middle, so it felt like time went by very quickly.
Jiang Peng felt that it was very slow.
Fortunately, the divorce was successful in early February, a few days before the Civil Affairs Bureau went on holiday.
The Cui family dragged their feet and was reluctant to divorce.
She also tried to persuade Jiang Peng to open a farm stay. Because of her relationship with Jiang Heng, their family would be the priority when it comes to buying groceries. If she set the price higher and followed Jiang Heng's example of going for the boutique route, many people would buy into it.
But Jiang Peng refused to do it.
She worked wholeheartedly for Jiang Heng and spent any money she had immediately, buying clothes for her family, toys for her daughter, and saving for her education fund. As for the money in Chen Aying and Jiang Daqiu's hands, she didn't want a penny, and from time to time she would supplement their savings as a daughter.
The Cui family got no benefit at all.
Cui Rongyuan is also a young man and still has some shame. After confirming that the relationship is irreparable, he still agreed to divorce.
On the day of the divorce, Jiang Peng was so excited that he almost cried.
Finally I am free.
Chen Aying was very worried, but she couldn't bear to say anything when her daughter was so happy, so she went to cook silently.
Jiang Heng specially took out the remaining pork and slaughtered the last grown duck to celebrate.
As they ate and drank, the sadness in Chen Aying and Jiang Daqiu's eyes about their daughter's divorce disappeared.
Jiang Peng was so happy that he drank two sips.
Xiaoxiao was eating meat, and his chubby little face was full of satisfaction, with no psychological trauma from his parents' divorce at all.
Everyone was happy.
The meal lasted until after nine o'clock in the evening. Jiang Heng then slowly returned home with the caramel pudding and the Husky. Ali didn't like going out, and Bianbian didn't like going to other people's homes, so they stayed at home.
My feet were on solid concrete.
Jiang Heng was wearing a slightly thicker long coat and swaying slowly with his arms folded.
It was so cold that even those who liked to walk around didn't come out, even if they didn't sleep. Every house had its doors closed. At first glance, it looked as if no one was around.
But if you look closely, you will see that lights are on in every house.
Occasionally, when passing by, you can hear people talking and discussing how to celebrate the New Year. For example, the two families next to Chen Aying's house are still whispering about whether Jiang Heng sells chicken. They were tempted last night and want to buy a chicken to entertain their guests during the New Year, which will definitely make them look good.
Jiang Heng smiled and said in his heart: Sell it!
Now a batch of chicks have grown up, and there are more than 20 little roosters available for sale.
It can be sold just before the Chinese New Year.
After a while, the third batch of chicks will grow up and another batch can be sold. Soon, her family will have a hundred laying hens. By then, she can’t imagine how big the basket will be to hold all the eggs.
Suddenly her smile froze.
The originally calm spiritual energy around the body began to fluctuate, first like a gentle breeze, then turned into waves blown by the wind, and quickly turned into huge waves.
It’s about to break through!
Reach the foundation-building stage soon.
