3 What to sell?

This is a cottage to bring to mind, and a mini tractor to buy with attachments, carry out the missing communications on the farm, put up storage, think about installing mini-plants (well, this is for the future) to process fruits. Since he learned from high school lessons that a finished processed product is more expensive than raw materials.

An example was his country. In the colonial era, the country was used as an agricultural appendage, cultivated agricultural products and industrial crops.

It took a lot of strength, water, which in the region was not very much and the products grown with great difficulty were simply exported to the empire, where they were processed, while receiving great profits.

In addition to the built factories, factories and other infrastructure necessary to maintain the empire in the colonies, environmental problems and an acute shortage of fresh water remained in the inheritance from the empire.

Since the empire divided the land of its colonies in such a way that some colonial countries got mineral resources, and the other only water sources, the third extensive pastures and agricultural land without water sources.

After the departure of the empire, everyone had a hard time. It was necessary to be able to negotiate, to transfer mineral resources for water at one price at fraternal prices, and water for other products at another. There were no enterprises for processing, it was necessary to build. And it's all the time and expenses.

The sad experience from history was also before the eyes of Dara. History teaches a lot, he knew it, his own subject.

In the meantime, you can focus on three main areas, drawing up a list of purchases and costs, work on the device farm and the preparation of finished finished products for its online store.

At least the first products from my farm, I can get no less than six months. In the meantime, I'll equip everything, prepare stores, put things in order, I need to think about the range.

For the online store at first, I will sell - two types of berry fruit candy, one with added protein and the other pure berry without sugar. Berries can still be bought from Grandma Mahtab.

Therefore, I can make prices lower and increase the range, add berries. Since this type of goods is swept away in the store shelves, I think that my prices and variety will find their buyers.

Also, I can probably use old recipes from the 18th century to make sweets, but here, I first need to consult a nutritionist to find out if these recipes are healthy or not.

If you think about it from the other side in the East, since antiquity, they have thought about issues of longevity, rational and wholesome healthy nutrition. Every nation has its own unique methods and rules for healthy eating. They are based on centuries-old experience, features of physical and geographical conditions of the area, traditions and culture. All food is well balanced.

At the same time in the East, there were several basic medical concepts of proper and healthy nutrition. It is Greek, Persian, Chinese, Arab, Indian, Tibetan.

Well, I will probably use the knowledge of Persian and Chinese, they are closer to me and since the times of antiquity, our region has been in close contact with the Chinese for at least 2,000 years. This even says our national cuisine, it has a double boiler, manti, steamed sweet rice buns, noodles, manpar.

Of course, when using preparation methods and products from other regions, one should take into account the fact that a medicinal substance or food product in the conditions of one country has one action, and in another country and other climatic and other conditions another action.

This should be remembered.

As it was written in the Treatise of Indo-Tibetan Medicine - for many thousands of years in the East a huge array of unique historical experience in healthy nutrition was accumulated and the main healing properties of food for different geographic zones were described. This information also went through centuries of testing for the sick and is described in various narrative medical treatises.

Naturally, such valuable historical information is of undoubted interest for modern medical science, dietetics, and healing cooking when searching for new concepts and rules for healthy eating.

For this, we need modern knowledge in order to correctly understand the ancient experience in its practical application in modern times, to test it.

In the meantime, if I go to Grandma Mahtab, I will know how to buy berries from her.

Dara sat in motorcycle and headed towards the mountains where Grandmother lived. The road was dirt, so I had to go in a cloud of dust.

The village was small, only 12 families. They lived here recently, or relatively recently, by the standards of the East. Last 70 years. Grandma got this site from the plant where she worked. Now she lived there.

In the village, usually the gates and doors do not lock, all of them, no thieves and if there is, they know the traditions and do not steal houses like proud eagles, they do not hunt near their nests.

Opening the beautiful door of the gate, Dara, in the courtyard, saw Grandma Mahtab clamoring, near a boiling pot. She skillfully regulated the fire by removing or adding firewood.

Grandma, hello! How are you? How are your children? Grandchildren? Is everything alright? Outside is such a wonderful weather, and you bother!

Aah, it's you little mischievous, Dara! You've been gone a long time! Like mom, dad, brothers, aunts, uncles? How are you? What are you doing? Where do you go to work?

Well, sit down, here at the table, in the legs there is no truth. Pour yourself green tea, while I see you are busy cooking!

Dara, noticed that Grandma used not water but juice! And that means that she is preparing an ancient recipe, and a healing one from the 12th century! He read about it in an old Arabic treatise of the 14th century.

It was a recipe for cooking rice with meat on the juice of vegetables. There were two options for improving the bowels used pumpkin juice, but in order to better see the juice of carrots.

The recipe itself was simple, according to an Arab source, it originated in the "Tsvo" country. That is, we have, or rather, in the mountains south of Maly An, at 300 kilometers.

You need meat, onions, garlic, carrots for juice, and add to the pot, pumpkin, rice, oil.

Heat the butter, throw the chopped pieces of meat, fry until golden brown. Add onions, carrots, fry, until soft. Pour carrot juice and put on low heat for 30-40 minutes, put spices and garlic, if you wish, and quince. After putting rice. But here you need to choose it correctly, it should be rice with a long grain. Put steamed until ready, if necessary, add more juice. Give the rice the shape of a mountain, pat it with a spoon, if a deaf sound is heard, then the food is ready.

But here I look, Grandma Makhtab cooks differently ?! This is probably the second cooking option, "split". This is when rice and wax are cooked separately from meat, and meat in another pot. Then the food is less fatty and more dietary by modern concepts.

Judging by the cooking process, there was still an hour or so to complete the miracle of the dish.

While Dara was thinking about this, Grandma Makhtab, already deftly put rice in the pot and closed it with a lid, went to the table and sat down beside her.

Dara, came to her senses and immediately, taking a bowl, poured a bit of green tea, Grandma Mahtab, with respect.

Slowly, Grandma drank tea. Her eyes sparkled brightly under the caressing sun.

Well, son, why come to me, the old grandmother? What will our conversation be about?

I heard from Shabnam that you decided to become a farmer and open your shop in the capital? Probably you came to me about my berries?

Ah, this talker, Aunt Shabnam ?! She chimed about it to the whole world!

Dara, smiled brightly, that's what wisdom and discernment means!

Yes, Grandma Mahtab, precisely for them! While I'm just starting to prepare for opening a store on the ground, the farm has not yet been put in order, but for my online store, products are needed.

I've decided to sell there - dried fruit, marshmallow, jam, dried berries, nuts, mulberry flour. At first. And then, when there is a harvest on the farm, I will be able to exhibit my products from there.

What do you think Grandma Mahab? Can you sell me berries and dried fruits, nuts and flour?

Well, it's hard to say right away. My harvest this year was big, four kilograms will be. I don't need money, I'm already old; you'll not take much with you to a distant world. But here it is necessary to help children and grandchildren, the granddaughter learns on the contract. He needs to pay $ 2,500 from his second semester for tuition, and they say that the price of the contracts goes up. So, as I say the young "in"!

By the way, I can prepare my own pastille and agree with my neighbors about dried fruits, nuts and flour.

Will you pay me more for this? How do you like this idea? Oh, son?

Dara, was surprised again! Here are these old, wise and cunning foxes, as our neighbors Chinese say.

Well, this solved many questions for Dara. If Grandma Makhtab will collect everything herself in one place, cook, he will only have to deliver and prepare goods for sale!

And what, let's Grandma, I will sign a contract with you to buy all these products! And with the price we agree! Cg of berries on the market in the capital costs 10 dollars, in wholesale you can buy for 4. But they are with chemistry, and your Grandmother is all pure, her own, natural. Take for kg 6 dollars. How do you look at it?

Oh, my son will not be enough, let's still throw, a bit, because, you say yourself, everything is natural!

Well, Grandma, you caught me, okay, then let me throw 50 cents more. Otherwise, there is no way, while I only take the first steps, but how will it go and I will add the price to you, will we write everything in the contract?

Do you agree?

Well, son, come on this and decide!

I will cook pastila according to our old recipes.

Grandmother, and you can, try to make a pastila according to the Tula recipe. I once knew an exchange student from Voronezh, who in Russia brought delicious such marshmallow fruit, she is apple and protein. Sergey was his name, he is a historian, he left me a recipe, can you try to make it?

I love the new! So try, give your recipe! I'll call you tomorrow and tell if I can cook it or not. And also you and I need to decide how much you will buy berries, how many marshmallows, dried fruits, and flour you need.

Let me ask people in the village, find out, and then tomorrow we will discuss everything!

What do you say, Dara?

Okay, well, Grandma, you came up with it well! Then tomorrow we'll talk!

Goodbye!

Um, where are you in such a hurry? I won't let you go anywhere until you try to eat my food, and if you leave now, consider that I won't help you!

Good, good, Grandma Mahtab. I just said out of courtesy that I was leaving. I really want to try your version of this rice!

And now ... rice was a success. It was red from carrots, the aroma emanated amazing!

Golden pieces of meat soaked in carrot juice, garlic, pumpkin, quince. The taste was just magical! And such a texture of meat!

Dara washed two large bowls of rice at a time!

And Grandma Makhtab happily smiled looking at this eater!

Returning to the farm Dara, began to make lists of purchases of basic and range. How much can you pull?

From purchases and expenses:

- mini tractor (to determine the type)

- mounted equipment to it

- agrotechnical activities on the farm

- wire engineering communications

- obtaining permits, registration, etc.

- purchase of seeds

- purchase of natural fertilizers (and here it is necessary to specify!)

- purchase of refrigeration equipment

- purchase of ventilation equipment

- purchase of heating equipment

- spending on building materials (for the store)

- score

- furniture

- dishes

- mini processing plants (for the future)

- household equipment for processing berries

- mini bus (possibly used)

- arrangement of a minibus for the transport of products

- contract for the purchase of products from Grandma Mahtab

- salary to relatives in the Shop

- Lunches and a feast for builders in the store

Well, the rest will need to then add more.

Range:

For an online store ...

I needed my assortment, for the beginning Dara planned to include in it:

- candy of black currant, gooseberry, raspberry, sea buckthorn

- marshmallow of apples with protein according to the Tula recipe

- dried fruits obtained in a natural way, dried in the sun, without adding sulfur namely (apricot, peach, apples, raspberries, currants, yellow grapes, plums)

- walnuts, pistachio and almonds

- flour from pounded dry mulberry

- dried persimmon

- crystal sugar from grape juice and berries

- Amber sugar.

About him a separate conversation - Yantak sugar - on a camel thorn a yellowish sticky liquid appears on the leaves, in the evening it freezes and turns into small grains. Gather amber manna in late August - early September. Syrup is boiled from the manna, and this must be done early in the morning so that the manna does not melt. Amber syrup has healing properties - it clears and softens the throat and lungs, and also helps with coughing, easily dissolves yellow bile and quenches thirst.

Use in the form of syrup, which is prepared with quince and carrots.

The finished syrup acquires a dark pink color, and the carrots and quince in it do not float to the surface and are evenly distributed in the syrup. Before readiness, a vanilla pod or 3-4 stamens of saffron are added to the syrup "(it was used in Front and Central Asia since the 9th – 10th centuries AD).

- Carrot jam.

Carrot jam with honey strengthens the intestines and digestion.

A sweet almond with crystalline sugar is useful for ulcers in the intestines and bladder, pleurisy, strengthens eyesight, throat. The negative properties of almonds are hard and difficult to digest in a cold stomach, harmful to the intestines, corrects these properties - mastic.

- Almond jam is highly nutritious, very beneficial for the kidneys. If you brush your teeth with honey 3-4 times a week for a month, then the teeth are cleaned, make them white (From ancient Persian medicine 3-11 c. AD).

- Ginger jam.

- Grape jam.

- Jam from rose petals.

All the recipes of Dara, he knew both from the old Persian books and his Grandmother Sanaz, prepared these jams, but with their own characteristics. Probably the recipes were modified over time, in the absence of some products they were replaced by others, the recipe was developed and supplemented.

All the products for his online store, Dara planned to take from the village of Grandmas Makhtab. Everything is environmentally friendly, the recipes are old from traditional medicine, have been tested by modern doctors, so that in small quantities, even useful and as far as getting products from his farm, Dara planned to include other products in the assortment of both stores.

- Root -

- Pasternak

- Fennel

- Celery

- Parsley

- Ginger

- Chicory

Pasternak - has analgesic properties, treated cough, strengthens strength after the flu, it also strengthens the walls of the capillaries.

Fennel - helps to treat poisons after insect bites and snakes, but it is not recommended for pregnant and lactating.

Celery - good for flu, improves memory.

Parsley - heals the heart and blood vessels.

Ginger - cures cold, cough, has a warming effect.

Chicory is a natural antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and wound-healing agent.

Any plant has its positive therapeutic effects, so and negative, it should be remembered. The man is unique in itself, one thing suits one thing, another thing suits another and also grow other plants - luffa, it can be eaten and can be used as a sponge. Luffa is good with meat. It is popular with restaurateurs as the above listed roots.

The same row includes asparagus and artichokes. In restaurants, these products are bought with great pleasure. At the same time, only 1-2 kg are bought at a time, for 4-5 days. Moreover, for example, 1 kg of asparagus costs $ 14, but the artichoke is already 25. One celery root jumps in price from $ 1 to 5. Depending on the season.

So to grow in small batches of several kg of these rare garden crops, it would be very beneficial, provided that a direct contract is signed for the supply of these products to restaurants. Moreover, they buy these products at the market price, and not fixed. As producers of such garden crops, from one, two and more is not. Seeds have to buy in Europe or Russia, but they are already proven, high-quality, without unpleasant surprises in the form of some diseases or pests in them. These seeds are subject to verification by a special plant protection service against pests.

Therefore, the seeds are expensive. In addition, there is a need for knowledge of how to grow this or that garden crop, your approach, your agrotechnical measures, who do not know them, he does not manage to grow anything.

For the realization of his other idea, Dara decided to plant berries and bushes. Irgu, Strawberries, Strawberries, Raspberries, Currants, Gooseberries, Sea Buckthorn, Blueberries and agree with the mountaineers, who in the villages have organic fruit trees.

Namely, the supply of apples, pears, cherries, cherries, plums, mulberries and also try to plant a couple of interesting plants - irgu, fezalis, sloe, medlar. If you take root, then the table will be richer and more money will be available in the future.

He will be able to start a business through the online store, attracting customers and creating a customer base. After three months, he hoped to start a store on the ground and also to cultivate your small farm. He will have to work on it himself.

Grand ideas. It remains only to bring them to life!

The same evening, his longtime friend Jos Aguar came out on Skype, they met him on an internship, on new technologies in historical science.

Since then, they often talked, after an internship, Dara was seen in Jos a couple of times at international conferences.

Jos was 10 years older than Dara. He was a historian and cartographer who worked for a multimedia company in the Philippines.

While they were on an internship, Jos said that they sometimes eat horsemeat too, like Dara. At parting, friends exchanged gifts; Jos gave him an "English Tagalog Translation Dictionary and Phrasebook 1st Edition." Dara gave him a cup of tea from his native city.

Hi, Dara! so, how are you?

Dara, waited ... waited, he thought, now Jos will tell him - well, how is your farm and shop there, did Aunty Shabnam have time to go international?

But no, it only seemed to him.

Here, why am I calling you? The fact is that our company has now developed a new software for drones. We tested them, work perfectly, though there are some problems, when the weather is unstable, strong wind or rain, then drones cannot work. And so wonderful technology in action. Namely, they can be used in agriculture!

Hey Jos? This is how we studied on internships, space imagery? Type of monitoring satellites for agriculture? Mapping - the state of crops, moisture, and on them and recommendations for the application of mineral fertilizers? Something like that?

No, bro, you do not catch up? Drones are the best! Cheaper at times! The more opportunities for farmers.

So, I invite you to participate in our program and become a distributor in our country of our technology! We will provide and multicopter and software and service "Agro Analytics." Most of all, for farmers who have a field of 4 to 30 hectares!

For example, our company can provide farmers with digital thematic maps - monitoring crops of crops, the degree of moisture, assess the germination of sprouts, monitor and plan plowing, analyze the state of the soil, and harvest. Identify adverse processes for crops such as floods or pests. As well as a map of the soil and the content of various elements in it. On the basis of this, the expert system will be connected and will allow you to make a plan for planting certain crops according to soil types!

Cool same ?! Admit it, Dara! These are new technologies in action!

This is a new direction in the world, agricultural management. Precise farming.

You can use our copters and do point planting of seeds, in those places where the soil will accept them better! You can water the plants, spray them with fertilizers or pesticides! They can show the lack of nutrients in the soil, not to mention the invasion of pests.

This is a true technological miracle!

Imagine, Dara on your laptop will have the whole map of your farm plot, for example. Roads, rivers, ponds, warehouse, beds with your vegetables and you can easily deal with planning, harvesting, and indeed automate this process. We have ready-made solutions, there would be money and desire. Moreover, I note that the drone itself is not as expensive as the software itself.

This is the price of a small car with a trailer. Plus we provide you with service. Well, the type I can go to your country and create your own expert service center. I have not traveled abroad for a long time, and I have not seen you. Good opportunity, so I immediately remembered you! You need to grab the bird of happiness by the tail and not to wait for something unknown!

The note, the drone can shoot in the clouds, plus an hour it can easily take off another 25 square meters. km, when areal shooting.

Well, think about it, and in a couple of days you will tell me whether I thought up or not!

I tell you, this is a goldmine!

Real real magic!

Dara, smiled, what a good friend he has! This is the main topic! He can now try it on his farm, if indeed everything is so, then the new business can be stirred up in the capital and this is a completely different level! Cool, Jos! Respect, you!

Then Dara remembered his relative, he seemed to be about 10 years ago, was developing microelement fertilizers for farmers, picked up various chemical elements for soil types, in very small quantities and in weak concentrations. As well as the second method, it is already completely environmentally friendly ...

The essence of the application of the method of microelement fertilizers in small concentrations, particularly important for certain soils, elements. This may be copper, and manganese, zinc, molybdenum, iron. In the form of, solutions of salts of these trace elements. By spraying the plants. In the first method, up to 40 percent.

The second method is the treatment of seeds before sowing for 1-2 months, a gradient magnetic field, using permanent magnets that are attached under the conveyor belt. When the conveyor moves, a gradient magnetic field is created that possesses, improves seed germination and thereby increases the yield by up to 30 percent.

The use of these methods - an environmental yield increase, firstly, cheaper, and secondly, will allow you to be able to put a mark on your "Eco" products. This will immediately give the opportunity to raise the price by 50 percent! Thirdly, this type of fertilizer allows you to increase the yield of agricultural crops immediately. In the fourth, the seeds increase their immunity to pests and diseases.

Having new drones, allowing you to do a spot planting, having new fertilizers that will not harm the plants, and ultimately people, will give exactly what Dara was striving for!

Organic food, simple organic food! If a person eats her, he will increase his immunity, and this, in the era of the global threat of a flu pandemic and its mutations, will allow mankind, well, not everything, but whoever can eat natural food will cope with this challenge. The main thing is not to get sick, and if you get sick, then do not suffer from side effects.

After all, the simple flu has already changed in recent years. If it used to take only 5 days to get the flu out of the human body, now it takes 5 times longer. It also gives complications to the bronchi, lungs, throat, liver, and what will happen in a few years? No one really knows.

People who eat unhealthy food with preservatives, salted, pickled, sweet, bitter, with GMOs, treated with antibiotics and growth harmonies, eventually lead to a weakening of its immunity on the one hand. On the other hand, viruses on antibiotics undergo mutations and become stronger.

Those who eat healthy food, clean, free from impurities of harmful substances, pesticides, radionuclides and heavy metals, already give themselves a chance to survive in the future!

A healthy diet can immediately heal the human body, reduce the risks of the disease - stomach ulcers, diabetes, vascular diseases, heart, liver and kidneys.

It is treated very expensive, of course, provided good and qualified doctors. And if the good doctors went to other countries? What to do sick? At least, at least not to get sick, but to eat the right and healthy food in order to keep your body healthy.

As our neighbors say, the Chinese - there are three rules for human health - a good full sleep, the right healing food, and the third is the drugs themselves.

In Persia and China have long understood that food is the key to human health! It must be balanced, in the summer heat there is food with cold elements such as mulberry, grapes, pear, melon, watermelon. In the cold cold - ginger, apple, dried fruits, nuts.

Replenish vitamins and trace elements easier to eat - garlic, onions, berries, nuts, meat. Walk in the fresh air, at least 3-4 km a day, breathe fresh air.

Do not pounce on pastries, do not drink carbonated and sweet drinks every day. The daily dose of sweet soda is surprisingly only 48 ml and not 1.5 or 2 liters.

It immediately hits the liver! Gums! If you drink sweet soda, do not forget to check the total blood sugar level. Dara knew this, at the university, for some reason they were passing 2 years of medicine and sugar rises great then, especially if a person eats pastries, ice cream and drinks sweet soda all the time. From the norm of 3.3 to 5.5 millimoles per liter, up to 6.7 mol or even higher. Do you need this? For a man? Medicines to drink? They are very expensive. If there is no health insurance, then everything, come, gentlemen!

Living with diabetes is not fun, as with a stomach ulcer. Isn't it easier to eat healthy food right away?

But many people don't think about it, because it seems to them that they are healthy ?! Idiocy of course, but the majority of modern patients, brought themselves to this state. They did not know how to cope with stress, nerves and elementary, sticking their problems.

Instead of being able to solve problems at the mental level. As the wise Syma-Tsan used to say, there is time for quick action, there is time for retreating, there is time for not doing anything. The one who knows when to attack, when to retreat, when to do nothing, when to actively decide, he is the winner.

Healthy food. Need to know for sure!

Here you need to eat more fruit, they give fiber, which makes the human body more healthy.

In a healthy diet, new trends have appeared, which people previously did not know about. It seems to be such a customary and beloved tradition of many people to arrange a barbecue with an open fire, can lead to sad consequences for health. In a year, you can only do it twice or three times, without consequences.

Namely, to be able to combine fruits, berries, whole grains, legumes and nuts.

Exactly what Dara had planned to sell in his stores.

So far, there remained three issues to be resolved about the store, after talking with her new employees, aunt Shabnam, a saleswoman, her children Behman, a freight forwarder, and Arash, whoever designed his website — the online store, Uncle Navid, who will repair his store. They agreed to meet tomorrow morning!

In the afternoon he had to talk with Grandma Makhtab that the village people there decided on his request for the sale of environmentally friendly products. Agree or not? He would have to take Behman right away, he just has a car and Arash. So that they see with their own eyes with whom they will work? It will be necessary and it will be determined who will carry the products from the village he, Daora or Behman. All these subtle organizational issues took away his time. But they were important.

Yes, in the evening you will need to talk on Skype, with Jos at the expense of delivery Dronov and with Bro Fang, his brother works at the Institute of Remote Sensing of the Academy of Sciences and they, there was an interesting software product on 3D cartography. Interestingly for 3 years, they managed to translate it from Chinese into English? When Dara was in Shanghai, at the exhibition, most of the software products presented at it were in Chinese. There was also a curious development on the basis of the Mitsubishi chassis for digital mapping from the machine. It was worth talking about.

It is possible to talk with the younger uncle Deroesh, he was the director for the sale of instruments navigators for cars, maybe that will tell interesting.

One way or another he needed to make a work plan.

And then, take it on your own farm. There will be fun. It is time to slowly prepare for crops, ahead of time at least for a couple of months.
