In a small mountain village in Jinnan, there is a retiree who spends his old age in peace after retirement, but plays with small yellow persimmons, and can earn 100,000 yuan a year for his family. This retiree's surname is Shi, 66 years old this year, let's call him Lao Shi.
Lao Shi's hometown is in a small mountain village called Shi Jia Di. In addition to the fact that the old Shi shi ate public meals, his wife and children were farmers. In this way, there is land in the family. Since ancient times, this small mountain village has been spinning persimmon cakes, which are the leading industry here, and dozens of households in the village are operating persimmon cakes. Every year, when the frost falls, it is the busiest and most beautiful season here.

Before Lao Shi retired, he carefully studied the persimmon cakes in the village, which were all small persimmons, and because the persimmons were small, they could not sell for a good price. So Lao Shi chose a large local persimmon and began the grafting work. Taking advantage of Sundays and holidays, Lao Shi grafted all 200 small persimmon trees into large persimmons, and also helped the masses graft more than 2,000 large persimmons. This persimmon is called ox heart persimmon in the local area, and it is large and thick, so the swirling persimmon cake is thick, sweet, frosted, and has a very good taste, so the selling price will be very high. For example, a small persimmon cake sells for 8 yuan a pound, while a pound of beef heart persimmon cake sells for 15 yuan - 20 yuan.

The old historian was able to endure hardships, and did not enjoy leisure after retirement, but like a farmer, he ran around the field for four seasons. When the frost falls, Lao Shi and his son will drive two electric tricycles to their fields to pick persimmons. Because the persimmon is large, so the picking will be faster, the persimmon people under the persimmon tree can stand underground and hook, but the persimmon picking above the persimmon tree will be more difficult, not on the tree to pick, both with a ladder to pick. It is very dangerous, but the old history is not afraid, daring to go up the tree and the ladder. The family could not finish the persimmon cake, so at this time, they would hire local women to spin persimmon cakes for their own family.

Old Shi also can't stay idle, not only to pick persimmons in the field, but also to spin persimmon cakes at home. It's not easy. Because the persimmon cake is a technical job, most of the local women's persimmon cakes, men spin persimmon cakes are very few, but the old history will spin persimmon cakes. His wife's meal was ready, and the people hired by his family to spin persimmon cakes all went home to eat, and the venue was left with Lao Shi, so Lao Shi took advantage of the gap in the field to spin up the persimmon cake himself. Only to see the spinning car shake, the spinning knife flying, one by one ox heart persimmon instantly turned into persimmon cake.

The old Shi family spins 20,000 kilograms of persimmon cakes a year, and a pound of persimmon cakes is sold to 15 yuan - 20 yuan, which can increase the family's income by 100,000 yuan a year. This retirement is easy and not simple.
