Kapitel 43: Trip to the mountains "Light" - 6
Eh, why would you go so far? In Five Fingers? Come to me, in the village of Oltyn-Rabat, I myself have 1000 kg of wonderful dry fruits and some nuts! Strange in our own way, you are students of our countryman!
What do you think?
"Well, it sounds good, but will you call me for breakfast?"
Of course, dear guests! First, breakfast and then talk about business!
Hey, hey, what a good day I have today!
"And what is respected?"
Yes, the salary is delayed for the second month, and the wife wanted to go to the city, buy new clothes, the grandson needed to give a birthday present. And there is no money!
Now I hope to get some of them from you!
I have selected fruits, I dried them myself. How do you say the city, ecologically clean product!
I would drive to the city myself, but there's no time, who will look after the flock? Yes, and gasoline is now expensive ...
Oh, what am I, knocking down the price itself for your product ...
... you never mind!
"If the dried fruits are really good as you say, then we will set a fair price, you are our fellow countrymen, we will not be able to look into his eyes later if you are offended!"
Ahahahahahahahaha !!! Well, I'm glad! You will not regret the choice!
By the way, now on the right, then about five kilometers ahead, then to the left along the stream, before the turn of the road, and there you will see a large tree. By the way, 2000 years old, he was still imprisoned by Alexander Horny.
"Someone who"?
Oh, this Macedonian! Tourists lure! The tree is older, they still tie handkerchiefs on it, they consider it sacred!
"What a heresy!" "These are some old beliefs, to a monotheistic religion, how else during the heyday of militant atheism they didn't cut it down"?
And we took care of him! Who will give such a curiosity to cut?
A lot of people come to see him. Do you need to stop somewhere? And buy handkerchiefs? And eat, drink?
I myself think that the tree is just old, I do not believe in these fairy tales. I'm an old communist!
"Wow, so you are from that era of Shuravi?"
Yes, I was a member of the trade union committee on our collective farm!
And now I am a farmer, I breed cattle, I have 3000 hectares, sheep, goats, cows, sheep. I hand over meat at the procurement prices in the regional supermarket and markets. Enough. I receive money, but without a smart life. Money is enough to pay off loans, a little bit of savings remain in the bank. In the course it turns out not so much as I expected when I opened my own business.
"Oh, these cunning old Persians ... flashed through Dara's head ... they always say they earned 5 rubles, whereas in reality they received 15!"
"Well, I am also a farmer, but I have only 40 acres, so the first attempt at writing ...".
Oh, so we are colleagues! Ahahahahahaha! And what is so little land?
"Well, I want to try!"
What are you growing?
"Special fruits, which are now scarce in the market, but I work directly with restaurants, so the purchase price is higher!"
Oh, how interesting! I also need to try this work! Thanks for the interesting idea!
"Well, we are countrymen, everyone should help each other, and the country becomes stronger and we are richer!"
"So says our teacher Shir-bek Nevid Zade!"
He, an intelligent man, in vain will not speak!
So, after that you need to go up to 600 meters there and there will be our village. My house is the third from the right!
And I will show you the road to Five Fingers closer to 12, today all the same everyone will stay at home. We have a regional holiday, the day of the cattle farmer, so that it is not necessary to come to work!
"Wow, you are in India, many of their regional holidays, of which we are urban and did not know how great!"
Oh you didn't know? The teacher did not tell you?
"Not"!
I will feed you with breakfast, usually it is white tea, milk, baked fat of a ram green tea, some nuts and crackers.
Well, our branded tea, highlanders - thyme, crystal sugar, dried sprigs of sweet cherries and pear leaves. Tasty and fragrant, helps from colds.
"Great, but I didn't know that you had such drinks"?
"It is interesting and what dishes do you cook?"
Well, for the guests we give - fried apricot kernels, peeled walnut kernels, mulberry fruit candy, apple fruit candy, corn seeds with lamb, onions, garlic. Moreover, first we fry them, then cook and then simmer.
"What is it? It sounds painfully familiar" ?!
"Really"?
"These pilaf"?
Yes! You guessed. But we do it not on rice but on corn. Sometimes when children are ill, we prepare pilaf on the juice from pumpkin or carrot. It strengthens the body, treats for anemia, his eyes become healthy.
"And I think I heard about this recipe, but its homeland is not with you!"
Why not?
"I read that this dish first appeared in the 15th century, south of your mountains, 600 km, in the high Pamir-Alay mountains!"
And ... brother, does it matter, we have known this recipe for the last 100 years!
Maybe someone from there and brought it to us!
We also fry lamb with red eggplants. This variety is preserved only with us. Old variety, he is already 200 years old. Neither do you, in the city, all Chinese eggplants ...
"Yes, we have Chinese garlic, and peaches, and apples, and pears, their chemical and GMOs are ours, three ways and our environmentally friendly ones to China for a penny. This is our special economy!"
"There are also pears from Argentina, apples from Poland, Pineapples from China, bananas from Turkey, tangerines from Iran. Whereas the products of our farmers do not come to our supermarket shelves."
"And the prices on the market for fruit even in summer, in the most season at least 1-2 dollars per 1 kg"
"Farming is not easy!"
I agree with you brother.
I now hand over to supermarkets for the purchase price of 1 kg of lamb meat for 4 dollars and the supermarket already sells for 11 dollars! The prices on the market are even lower, they buy for $ 3 and sell for 8. But where will I but where am I still selling so much meat? Do not disappear the same?
"And what to buy a mini-processing plant is not destiny?"
" You can buy any plant to your taste, color and thickness of your wallet., 45 days delivery on Alibaba Express!"
"That will solve the problem with processing and storage!"
"It will be possible to gain more money from sales!"
Well, in practice, it looks less rosy than in theory. Since customs duties are high, add 100 percent to the factory price right away. Then the operation ... good craftsmen can not be found ... and who will buy expensive semi-finished products. If the standard of living were higher ... then people would not save on shopping. Then it would be profitable to produce semi-finished products.
And since with a salary in the city of 150-200 dollars and in the village from 50 to 80 dollars, who will buy meat at 500 grams for 25 dollars?
So you have to twist it as it is.
"Yes"!
"Yes, your cattle business is more risky."
That's for sure!
"Okay, you strength and success"!
Thank you brother!
And so we still cook boiled and baked meat. With dry ovashi. Tomatoes, peppers, garlic and onions we dry in summer.
Making a fruit candy from berries and fruits. Mulberry flour.
Meat is stored in the old-fashioned way. In a 200 liter wooden barrel put boiled or roasted meat, and top with melted lamb lard. When freezes, put in the cellar. When you need meat, just take it out of the frozen oil and fry more. So the meat can be saved up to six months.
The refrigerator is not needed to us! Almost all themselves and produce, well, except batteries for androids, binoculars, digital cameras ...
"Oh, dear, why do you need cameras in such a remote place, and digital ones as well?"
Well, are you giving the guy? To earn money on the "drains"!
Food photos for example, take well. 300 bucks a month, sometimes all 700! And tax pay 26 percent.
The additions are quite good. Sometimes successful shots are shot - a snow goat torn by wolves or a bear picture. For them tozhk can roll off at 50-60 dollars.
"Yes, you are rowing a row with money here!"
No, we are not rowing, but our neighbors, through the ridge they wash gold, a week for 70-90 dollars is obtained, although sometimes it floods them in the pits. They then dig them without fasteners, 10 meters deep. Some lucky ones find nuggets of 800 grams! But there were few of them this year.
And from the precious stones, there were no serious finds for the last three years. But 10 years ago, a tractor driver, dug a vegetable garden and found a diamond there, handed over to the state and received a new Nexia ...
And so extra gains will not be superfluous. I have three daughters, two sons, you need to arrange each. make a wedding. It is easier with sons, but according to traditions, each daughter should be given a dowry, buy all the clothes to the groom's side, furniture.
And you know, furniture, dear, even the cheapest one costs a full garnetur of at least $ 3,000, and in order not to hit the person in the dirt, you need furniture for $ 6,000 at least. Eze well, if the side of the groom does not ask to buy a car, then it is another 10,000 dollars. So you need to save. The minimum cost for one wedding is about $ 30,000. So I still have to work and work!
This year I wanted to give the eldest daughter married, in the summer. So I would be happy to receive additional money from the sale of dry fruit. They are honest - good, I will eat rotten and spoiled myself, I will sell you good ones. But you respect the old man, give a fair price!
"Oh, dear, everything will depend on the quality, if it is really excellent, then we will buy for 3 dollars 40 cents 1 kg, you know that wholesalers buy dry fruits for 40 - 70 cents per 1 kg and sell for 8-15 dollars ".
"Previously, it was called profiteering, now it is called a market economy, a business!"
I understood! But I have quality products, I answer!
"Yeah, it's like a unas ordering three types of goods in an online store, and bringing two ... and then the amount is returned for the third product because of the balls ... which you can't buy!"
"Or you make a delivery of tea, but they don't bring it, because they took the other one, they don't return the money, but they offer another cheaper tea."
"This is our Eastern mentality, so come down."
No, brother, I am not like that, I am honest, my inner conscience will not allow me, we have been taught differently, the party is the mind and conscience of our era.
I do not sing to the tune of Mammon, for me the honor is more important!
"Great, old man!" "Well, you say, now in the 21st century such words are not heard from a pure heart"!
"Let's see how your words will be reflected by deeds"!
"If you say that the products are excellent, then for your honesty, your hospitality, we will pay $ 4 per 1 kg!"
"What do you say to that, eh, old man?"
I will say thank you, dear guest! You will not regret choosing me!
And now turn left here ....
