Tomato Plants in Yang Jiali

The Yangjia in Qiaoting Village has a history of producing eggplant seedlings for nearly 500 years. In the people's commune, there were still many farmers who farmed and sold. After the reform and opening up, it has become a characteristic industry of the Yang family. 68 of 72 households are engaged in eggplant seedling production. After harvesting in autumn and planting in winter, each household planted seeds in the whole border of the contracted field and set up a plastic shed with an area of 100 mu. Before Tomb-Sweeping Day, outdoor sales were all over Xiaoshan and even exported to Jiangxi, Fujian, Jiangsu and other provinces. The family with the least planting has an annual income of several thousand yuan, and the most can reach more than 20 thousand yuan. However, because sowing, management and sales are all heavy work, its intensity greatly exceeds the human body's bearing capacity, and the life expectancy of male labor force is lower than that of other villages. At present, the oldest male worker is 77. Every New Year, the whole village plays more rice cakes than other villages. The purpose is to go out and sell eggplant seedlings as snacks. [2]

Joy mutton

There is a folk saying in Xiaoshan that "Louta dog meat, Joey mutton". There is a lot of dog meat in Louta, and Joey's mutton is very good. Joey mutton takes goat mutton. Goats eat grass and their meat is clear. Since the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, there has been a family named Zhu He who specializes in burning mutton, and the whole set of skills has been passed down from generation to generation. Cooked mutton goes through three processes: slaughter, burning and pressing. Cooked mutton is white in color, fragrant, crisp and quite dry. The master of slaughtering sheep is good at mastering the heat, not raw or crisp. The soup of roast mutton guarantees a "fragrant" secret. Drain the mutton after cooking, remove the bones and press it again, which looks good and is easy to cut into pieces. Every winter, some people sell it to Xiaoshan and Hangzhou, and bring it to Beijing, Shanghai and other places for relatives and friends to taste. After the reform and opening up, the master who slaughtered sheep in the town returned to his old job, and goats produced in Anhui and Jiangsu were trafficked to Joey. At the end of 1980s, the older generation of sheep butchers, such as Wang Wenyu and Lu Xianxing, passed away and were replaced by a new generation. For example, Wang Axing, the son of Wang Wenyu, completely inherited the ancestral skills and innovated them, and the mutton stall business flourished. Although mutton costs about a kilo 15 yuan, customers still flock to it. [2]
