Portable space

Although there are several large beehives in the space, and a lot of honey has been collected, but they are all placed in the space to let them grow naturally. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are wild. Zhang Taiping himself did not raise honeycombs. The experience of bees, first of all, how to make this beehive is a problem. It seems that I can only go to the old man Wang who keeps bees in the village for advice.

After eating, Zhang Taiping brought some ordinary honey from bees in the space to Old Man Wang's house.Old man Wang's sons and daughters went out for a long time, but they never heard from them again. There is only a four or five-year-old girl in the house, who has been fourteen or five years old in the past ten years, and she is also a beautiful woman.As for Old Man Wang's real name being gradually forgotten by people, at least Zhang Taiping didn't know what his real name was.

As his son and daughter-in-law went out to wander around and gradually disappeared, the old man Wang also gradually became silent, and his temper became a bit weird. He seldom interacted with people in the village and devoted himself to raising his granddaughter.With this skill in beekeeping, the girl has not suffered much, and she can still go to school.

When Zhang Taiping came, Ah Huang also followed and entered the yard. The little dog in Old Man Wang's house just barked and saw Ah Huang who was behind Zhang Taiping, then got into me and hugged him into a ball, not daring to come out again.

Old man Wang, who was cutting bees, turned around when he heard the sound and saw Zhang Taiping coming in, and Ah Huang who came in leisurely. He frowned involuntarily and said, "What's the matter?" Since they were close friends, honey was also sold to outsiders, so they had less contact with people in the village. Zhang Taiping's sudden visit was naturally a bit unexpected and a little bit displeased.

Zhang Taiping had heard about the old man's strange temper, so he didn't take his rude tone to heart, and said, "I also want to raise some bees, but I don't have experience, so come and learn."

Elder Wang still has a bit of a weird temper, but he is not unreasonable. Recently, he also heard that what Zhang Taiping did was indeed doing some practical things for the village, making life easier for the villagers.After hearing about Zhang Taiping's intention to come, his face softened a lot, but he still said with a straight face: "You can see for yourself, but be careful not to get too close and let the bees sting you."

After finishing speaking, I was busy cutting honey again.These days are when the flowers are blooming, and the nectar that the bees come back after working all day is also the best honey in a year.Moreover, the accumulation of nectar is very fast, and it needs to be mowed once a day, so it cannot be sloppy.

Zhang Taiping didn't bother, but just watched casually.

Old man Wang has 23 beehives in total, and they set up a circle in a corner of the yard, with densely packed bees flying in the sky, and they are quite busy coming in and out.Zhang Taiping opened a box and took a look. Inside there was a net-like object covered with bees. It must be a honeycomb simulated by artificial breeding. When cutting honey, take it out and turn it over and cut it from the back. OK.

When the honey first came out, it was not sticky like that sold in the market, but almost lumpy. The better the quality of the honey, the more obvious the coagulation.The freshly harvested honey can't be taken immediately, most people can't bear it and have diarrhea, and ordinary people can only take it after diluting it.Those sold on the market are diluted, but the difference lies in the degree of dilution.

Old man Wang was a little surprised that Bee didn't overreact to Zhang Taiping's actions, but he didn't say anything, and continued to concentrate on his own business.

When Zhang Taiping raised his head, he happened to see a young girl of fourteen or fifteen years old standing at the door, with this apron around her waist and her hair simply tied back.He also had a shovel in his hand.This is old man Wang's granddaughter. As for the name Zhang Taiping, I don't know much about it. Standing at the door, she has a girl's unique charm.

Today happened to be Saturday, and the girl, who was going to junior high school outside, came back home.The children of poor families are in charge of the family early, the old man and the girl depend on each other, and the girl doll is sensible and well-behaved early on. She is not very old but she has a good skill in cooking. She comes back to cook for her grandpa on Sundays.

"I still don't know your name?" Zhang Taiping asked the girl standing at the door.

Although the girl was sensible early, she was only a teenage girl after all, and she still couldn't let go in front of Zhang Taiping, so she whispered: "Wang Fenger."

The name was chosen by the old man Wang himself. He has been raising bees all his life, and he named his granddaughter a homophony of Fenger.

"Good name." Zhang Taiping praised and handed over what was in his hand and said, "Take this in."

The girl was at a loss with the shovel, and the busy Old Man Wang stopped and raised his head and asked, "What is this?"

Zhang Taiping smiled and said: "I didn't have anything when I came here, so I just brought some casually." He said and stuffed it into the girl's hand.

Old man Wang understood what he meant. Generally, villagers would bring some gifts with them when they went to other people's homes to ask for help.

While still thinking about whether to buy it or not, Wang Feng'er had already opened the bag to have a look, and immediately a strong fragrance overflowed, "It smells so good." She couldn't help but exclaimed, and then she was surprised again, "Hey, it turned out to be Honey! How can it be so fragrant?" He raised his clear eyes and looked at Zhang Taiping.

"Hehe, this is the wild honey I picked in the mountains." Zhang Taiping replied with a smile.

When Old Man Wang heard that it was honey, he was a little curious. Wasn't Zhang Taiping playing tricks in front of Guan Gong's gate?He came to his home to send honey.Put down the tools at hand and come over to have a look.

Sure enough, there is a strong aroma.Old man Wang opened the cap of the bottle, and the aroma became stronger.When the surrounding bees smelled the aroma, they all came to this side, and Old Man Wang quickly closed the lid again.After several people entered the room and closed the door, old man Wang reopened the lid and began to observe carefully.

After entering the room, Wang Feng'er said "Yeah" and hurriedly turned around and ran to the side of the pot. She was cooking just now, and she forgot about it when she went out. The room is now filled with a burnt smell.

After opening the lid, the escaping aroma suppressed the smell from the burnt pot in the house.

The old man Wang observed and sniffed for a while and said: "This is really the best honey. I have been raising bees for so many years and I have only seen bees in my life. But is this really the honey I found in the mountains?"

Zhang Taiping nodded and said in affirmation: "Indeed, that hive is as big as the old cage. Old man Qian and Wang Gui also know about this."

When Old Man Wang heard that they were all one meter square in size, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​going to pick some honey.The wild bees in that mountain are not as easy to get along with as the small domestic bees. They are big and poisonous. If they are stung a few times, they will kill people.As for the method Zhang Taiping used to obtain it, he didn't ask further, that is a private secret method.

Old man Wang might not accept anything else, but such a good honey is reluctant to refuse.The so-called "hands are soft, but mouths are short", Zhang Taiping then explained in detail how to make beehives and some beekeeping skills.

In the end, Old Man Wang probably still felt that he had taken advantage of Zhang Taiping, and said, "If you have any problems with beekeeping, just come to me."

Zhang Taiping nodded. In fact, his main purpose of coming today is to see how the beehives are made. As for the skills of beekeeping, he believes that the wild bee eggs taken out of the space must not be weak in adapting to the environment. They It used to be self-supporting, basically no need for human management.

After talking about the business, the old man Wang pointed to Ah Huang who was rubbing against Wang Feng'er and asked, "This is the yellow dog from your family before, isn't it? How did it grow so big?"

Zhang Taiping also looked at Ah Huang and said: "Maybe it was because he was fed less in the past, but now that he is well nourished, he will naturally grow up." He himself was a little surprised, "This guy is rarely so close to strangers. Why are you so close to Wang Fenger today?"

"It's not considered a stranger anymore," Old Man Wang said with a smile, taking a puff of dry cigarette, "It's been less for half a year, but it used to come to the house a lot, and every time the wind blows, it will give it some food."

Only then did Zhang Taiping suddenly realize that he knew the situation at home before, Cai Yazhi seldom fed it, and basically just boiled some wheat husks.Moreover, he would be beaten by Zhang Taiping from time to time, so he often ran out to mess around in various yards.Seeing that it was pitiful, Wang Fenger fed it some food, and then it came here often, and Wang Fenger would prepare some for it every time.Therefore, Wang Feng'er can be regarded as half the master, and it is normal to get close to her.

The old man Wang said again: "I think your dog is not bad. When the time comes, which bitch will be matched with it, come and tell me, and I will go get a pup back." Ah Huang is a male dog and can't have pups, so he can only watch it I bred with that dog and caught a pup.

"Okay, no problem." Zhang Taiping rejected Old Man Wang's idea of ​​staying for dinner.

When I got home, I started looking for wood to make beehives by myself. I made more than a dozen and placed them in a circle outside the wooden door in the backyard.The artificial beehive inside had to be bought at a special place above the town.

The beehives were made the next day, and Zhang Taiping didn't procrastinate. He rode his motorcycle directly to the town to buy more than a dozen artificial honeycomb boards to put in the beehives.By the way, he also took out various fruits such as watermelons and melons that had matured in the space and brought them home in a big bag.

Every time Zhang Taiping brought back fruit, Cai Yazhi always thought that Zhang Taiping would spend money recklessly, he just smiled and didn't explain.Put all the fruits in the refrigerator, and tie the unfinished watermelons with ropes and hang them in the well in the courtyard to freeze. It is best to take them out at night and cut them open.
