Ganshan: The beginning was relied on by the golden leopard

When Xu Yang woke up the next day, he had no idea what happened on the farm that night.

He walked out of the yard and saw the dogs looking at him. He thought they were just being cute.

Always looks cute.

Xu Yang fed them some food and then planned to go to the village.

I went to pick persimmons today.

The autumn weather is clear and crisp, and the weather is just right, which is perfect for making persimmon cakes.

Xu Yang called Xiao Hei and the horse dog, and walked towards the village together, strolling along the way.

A few people from the village were walking towards us, carrying bamboo baskets on their backs.

They were going to chase the mountain.

There are many wild vegetables and fruits in the mountains in autumn, and it would be great to dig some back.

Xu Yang recently went to see tigers and leopards, and dug up some wild vegetables when he came across them.

He doesn't work in the mountains to make money, he just digs whatever he wants to eat.

For example, today, we went to a villager’s house and picked some persimmons.

The farmer's name is Ma Liang. He has a good relationship with Xu Hongshan, so Xu Yang is also familiar with his family.

The persimmon trees in Ma Liang's yard have ripened these two days, and it is time to pick them.

Xu Yang was naturally happy to come.

Xiao Hei and Yuan Bao followed happily behind.

On the way, they met a gang of pastoral dogs, and the pastoral dogs all looked at Xiao Hei and Yuanbao.

The pastoral dog called them both to play together.

After hesitating for a while, they decided to follow Xu Yang.

It’s different when you have a master.

Soon, Xu Yang arrived at Ma Liang's yard, where there were several tall persimmon trees.

"Xu Yang, here you come."

Ma Liang saw Xu Yang and greeted him with a smile.

Now that Xu Yang is the big boss, he can help with anything and everyone is happy to deal with him.

"Well, pick some persimmons. You can't buy big persimmons like this anywhere else."

Xu Yang replied with a smile.

"The persimmons are not ripe yet. They are a little sour. They will take two days."

"Or you can pick it and leave it for a few days."

Ma Liang said immediately.

"It's okay, that's enough. I was planning to make some persimmon cakes as a snack."

Xu Yang looked at the persimmons on the tree and said again.

The persimmons on the tree are quite big, and they are absolutely delicious when made into persimmon cakes.

"Okay, pick them, take whatever you want."

"The persimmons I grow are absolutely flawless. There are no better persimmons than mine in the surrounding villages."

Ma Liang spoke with some complacency.

"That's true."

Xu Yang admitted this.

Ma Liang’s persimmons are indeed delicious.

Then he started picking persimmons.

Each persimmon is quite big, and after picking just a few, the plastic bag is bulging.

Xu Yang felt that he had to pick at least two bags to enjoy the meal.

At this time, Xiao Hei saw some fallen persimmons on the ground. They were broken into pieces and no one would eat them.

Xiao Hei came over and licked the skin of the persimmon with his tongue.

After taking this bite, it immediately bared its teeth and whimpered.

It feels like I've eaten something unclean in my mouth.

When Yuanbao saw it like this, he looked at the excitement with curiosity.

There seemed to be some questions in his eyes:

"What's wrong? Are you possessed?"

Xu Yang couldn't help but laugh:
"The persimmons are not ripe yet, and they are a bit sour and astringent. They make my mouth uncomfortable when I eat them."

Then, he got a basin of water for Xiao Hei and asked it to wash its tongue, which made it feel better.

Persimmons are a very good thing here.

It can be used to make persimmon cakes or frozen persimmons.

It is basically standard equipment for every household during the winter New Year.

Xu Yang liked to eat this thing when he was a child, especially during the Chinese New Year. The family would prepare a plastic basket filled with melon seeds, peanuts, candies, and persimmon cakes. It seemed that every household had that basket, and it would be taken out as soon as the Chinese New Year came.

Xu Yang particularly likes to eat persimmon cakes and feels that the ones inside are the most delicious.

Thinking about it now, I still miss it.

In the past two years, he has changed his hobby and prefers eating tangerines. He can eat a lot of tangerines while watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Many people in the village grow persimmons, but Ma Liang’s is the biggest.

Xu Yang picked two bags, said hello to Ma Liang, and left with the persimmons.

This is very common on their side.

It is normal for farmers who have a good relationship to send each other some fruits or pick some fruits when they are ripe.

Every Chinese New Year, Xu Yang buys New Year goods for the farm employees, and also buys some for Xu Hongshan, asking him to give favors to others, including Ma Liang.

Some people like the indifference of big cities, while others like the interpersonal relationships in the village.

Have their own characteristics.

Xu Yang carried the persimmons and strolled back happily.

He is so free every day, after all, he doesn't have to go to work.

Drying persimmons is also a good thing. Xu Yang planned to update the video, so he called Li Shan over to record it for him. Although Li Shan's legs and feet were not very good, his hands were very steady.

The video is as stable as a tripod.

"I have to update some videos. There are countless private messages in the background every day."

"If you don't show up, you'll probably be scolded."

After Xu Yang called Li Shan over, he arranged the filming.

He took a few peelers from the kitchen and peeled the persimmons, explaining to the camera:
"I'm going to dry some dried persimmons today. These are the big persimmons I picked from the village. You don't often see them like this outside."

“The persimmons that I dry myself are delicious.”

As he spoke, Xu Yang peeled the persimmons.

This is a delicate job.

But Xu Yang was very deft with his hands, so it didn't take long for him to peel the persimmon cleanly.

In fact, there are some techniques for drying persimmons.

If dried well, the dried persimmons will be bright red and look and taste good.

If you don't get a good tan, you'll just be all black.

Xu Yang knows the techniques for drying persimmons.

Peel the skin first to allow the water to evaporate faster.

Then put it in boiling water for 30 seconds to disinfect and sterilize.

Then just put it outside to dry in the sun.

Be sure to choose a time with several consecutive sunny days, as this will produce the best dried persimmons.

After Xu Yang finished his work, he placed the persimmons in a relatively ventilated and dry place on the wall and covered them with a layer of gauze to prevent birds from eating them.

Birds really like to eat persimmons.

At this time, the tabby cat Sang Biao appeared first.

It jumped onto the wall, came to the bamboo basket containing persimmons and sniffed it, as if it was curious about what good thing it was.

"Sang Biao, you can't eat now!"

"You still have to be careful not to get bitten by the sparrows."

"I'll give it to you after it's dried into dried persimmons."

Xu Yang touched the tabby cat's head and comforted it.

After being touched a few times, the tabby cat gave up exploring the taste of persimmons.

After finishing everything, Xu Yang edited the video and posted it on his own video account.

By the way, I also gave a preview of my trip to the mountains in a few days.

The comment section immediately collapsed.

"Alive, alive, Old Xu is alive again!"

"Good guy, he's so low-key. He hasn't shown up even though he's been on the trending searches for days!"

“Hahahaha, I’m just sitting around on the farm drying persimmons!”

"I've seen the photos taken by passers-by. Old Xu is usually quite leisurely, just strolling around the village with his dog!"

"Is this persimmon a lottery? I want to eat it!"

The comment section was very lively. Xu Yang took some time to look at it. He did not reply to other comments, but to the one who wanted to eat persimmons, Xu Yang replied:
"No lottery, I'll eat it myself."

Seeing his straightforward reply, everyone wanted to eat it even more.

After all, he is a top star now, and many people were inspired by Xu Yang’s videos and started drying persimmons.

Those who love life began to buy persimmons and record the process of drying them.

However, everyone's results are varied.

Two days later.

Xu Yang checked his dried persimmon cakes and saw that they were red and round, with white frost on the bottom!

This is the perfect dried persimmon!
No seasoning is needed, it is perfect to eat it directly.

Xu Yang posted another video, and everyone was envious again when they saw such perfect persimmon cakes.

“Oh my god, that looks delicious!”

"Old Xu's skills are really strong!"

"How come this man knows everything!"

"Did you send it to me or did I steal it?"

Everyone left a message.

Xu Yang’s persimmons received quite a lot of likes.

Then, something even more interesting happened.

Many netizens also shared their own dried persimmons online.

Netizen A: "Can anyone take a look at why the persimmons I dried are all black and wrinkled?"

Someone replied: "Oh my god, to be honest, if I hadn't looked closely, I would have thought it was dried shit."

Netizen B: "Can you take a look at the frost on the bottom of my persimmon? Why is it green?"

Someone replied: "That's mold, it's amazing, even drying persimmons can cause mold, the environment must be quite humid!"

The persimmons that people dry in the sun are of all kinds, and because of this, people have come to realize that drying persimmons is also a technical job.

There is a trick hidden in this!
It has to be Xu Yang.

Xu Yang has also seen many videos of drying persimmons.

He found it very interesting.

Especially "Dried Shit" and "Moldy Persimmons", the number of likes for these two videos is almost higher than that of his videos.

Xu Yang also liked one of the videos.

The author of the original video was flattered and expressed his desire to learn from Xu Yang how to dry persimmons.

I’ll try to get a tan next time.

Like Xu Yang's sunburn. (End of this chapter)
