Villager of Daming

Chapter 302 Through Four Seasons, Flowers Always Bloom (Part [-])

'Creak creak...' Zhu Wentian dug out a bowl and said to Zhu Xi: "Choose, yes!"

"Mulberry, no, watermelon, no, change it to plums, put more honey, plums are sour."

Zhu Xi is just like a normal shopper, choosing and choosing, and finally making a request.

Zhu Wentian cut the pitted plums in half, put eight of them, poured honey water, and inserted a bamboo spoon into the small bowl.

Pass it over: "Eat, sweet, cool, hehehehe!"

"Thank you! I mean this bowl of shaved ice is alive. Hanhan, how many people would suffer from heatstroke in such a hot day?

I guess there is already a queue for free water delivery in front of the library.

There is boiling water for making tea, and there is also cold boiling water standing there. Who would pass by and want to fill a bamboo tube? "

Zhu Xi held the bowl of shaved ice in front of his nose, and said while feeling the coolness.

Zhu Wentian was in a daze for a moment, then shaved three more bowls of ice, put watermelon, this time squeezed the juice, put some slices of watermelon, and left the shed on a tray.

"Hanhan, where are you going? There's no shade outside, just wait for me." Zhu Xi followed with his bowl in hand.

A hundred paces away, there were three people standing next to a beehive. It looked like they were grandparents and grandchildren.

A boy who is eight or nine years old, a girl who is also eight or nine years old, and a man in his 40s.

Marriage is early, and children are born early, but there are few people with four generations living under one roof, and the average life span of people is short.

The grandparents and grandchildren were obviously not afraid of bees. They let the bees fly around, and the two children talked with a smile.

The little girl stretched out her hand, held a bee, and moved it to her face for a closer look.

"Grandpa, shouldn't you move the beehive away quickly? It will drop a lot if you continue to raise it."

The little girl's crisp voice can be heard far away, and can be heard more than twenty steps away.

The little boy next to him also said: "Fortunately, they know how to feed salt water, but it's not enough, the bees can only run to the ground or rocks to find something to eat.

It's so hot now that the bees will burn if they touch them, they should... eh?Splashed?

Yes, pour water on nearby rocks and the ground so it's not so hot and the bees can settle down. "

"Do you know how to keep bees?" Zhu Xi heard it, obviously the grandparents and grandchildren knew about bees.

"You are..." The 'old man' looked at Zhu Xi and a group of guards with knives behind him.

"Just call shopkeeper Qin. Let's have a bowl of shaved ice! Hanhan saw you, so he made it for you."

Zhu Xing arranged a title for himself, which was also called by others before.

"Thank you, Xiaoyu, Xiaogu, call me. My surname is Tu, and my single name is Fei." The person introduced himself.

"Thank you! Brothers!" "Thank you, brothers!" The two children shouted together.

"Zhu, Hanhan, I, um, hehehehe!" Zhu Wentian also introduced himself.

As he spoke, he pinched one end of the tray with one finger, and took the bowl down with the other.

"It turned out to be the guardian of Xiaqiu Village. It's a pleasure to meet you! My family's Xiaoyu and Xiaogu have been borrowing books from the Danqing Library."

Tu Fei does not refuse to eat cold drinks, if someone with a knife guard can give you food, if you don't eat it, you will lose face.

When he heard the word Hanhan, his attitude was different from before. Obviously he knew that Zhu Hanhan was the village guard of Xiaqiu Village.

The child was borrowing books from the library to read, and heard that Xiaqiu Village bought many bees to come and take a look. They are the village guards, so they can't be wrong.

"Brother Hanhan, the food in the library is delicious." The boy Xiaogu took the bowl and praised the box lunch for the children for free.

"That's right, Brother Hanhan, but sometimes we have to raise bees with our family, and we can't always eat them." Xiaoyu continued.

"Eat, okay, ummmm!" Zhu Wentian responded.

Tu Fei received the shaved ice and looked at Zhu Xi: "This shopkeeper Qin, I knew the plans of those merchants before, so I didn't care about them.

Xiaqiu Village has taken over the honeycomb. I will take a look the next day and see that it is okay.

Looking at the hot weather again, I was afraid that the bees in Xiaqiu Village would die and lose money, so I only came today.

However, some classes have played tricks, and the pieces of broken stones over there are obviously shipped later.

Splashing water to cool it down will allow the bees to eat something, so it's fine for now, but..."

"Thank you, Master Tu, for coming to help. I'm discussing the matter of moving. I just confirmed the location. You are..."

Zhu Xi understood that Tu Fei accepted Xiaqiu Village's favor and came here to help.

Unexpectedly, Xiaqiu Village had already responded. The other party was obviously proficient in beekeeping, but just now the little girl reached out to hold the bees, and most people would get stung if they encountered them.

"Plum blossoms welcome the spring, and people are in a hurry. Don't ask the time and way, and the seasons are to the god of flowers.

My family has been flower drivers for generations, but they didn't dare to run around because of the war, so they stayed in Yingtian Mansion for a few years.

Fifty boxes of bees are kept, and they can be kept for two and a half seasons a year. They usually sell honey, beeswax, and dried flowers in small shops. "

Tu Fei introduced himself as a flower catcher.

From the beginning of winter jasmine to the withering of plum blossoms, they are constantly running around all year round.

Zhu Xi learned about flower catchers from the head of the village, he wondered: "Why two and a half seasons? Four seasons to catch flowers!"

"In spring, it is cold and cold, and it rains in midsummer. In autumn, frost falls early, and snow covers the south of the Yangtze River.

You never know when natural disasters will come, so it cannot be counted as the harvest of four seasons, but only two and a half seasons.

Counting the harvest of the four seasons will spend the money earned by the four seasons and sell the honey of the four seasons.

The bees of the flower catcher are life, and there must be enough food for the bees.

For the flower driver, the bee is not afraid of cold or heat, but afraid of disaster and starvation.

As long as there is enough honey, we are not afraid of any day, and we are guaranteed to be able to feed the bees. "

Tu Fei told Zhu Xi that no matter what the circumstances, the flower driver must leave honey for a season and a half.

Zhu Xi clasped his fists: "I've been taught!"

He knows that this is not only a method of beekeeping, but also a way of survival. The flower driver does not care about any situation and has rich experience in raising bees.

I am afraid that the honey reserves will be insufficient, and the bees will be starved to death by then.

People like shopkeeper Song and the others didn't understand anything, and they knelt down in a hot day.

This kind of situation doesn't matter to the blind eye, of course, it is also very simple in front of Xiaqiu Village.

"It's hot, let's go, shed, umm!" Zhu Wentian uttered, and walked back first, because it was too hot outside.

"Yes, yes, Master Tu, let's talk under the shed." Zhu Xi came to his senses.

The group followed Zhu Wentian back to the place where they came back. The two children looked at such a large piece of ice, their eyes lit up.

Zhu Wentian didn't care about the others, and continued to shave ice. Just as some were shaved, the head of the village brought the children over.

"Hello, Uncle! How are you!" The little girl greeted a stranger first when she saw a stranger.

Turning his head to Brother Hanhan, he said, "Quickly, bring a bowl to the chief first, there's ice! I'll come!"

She deftly put the minced ice in the shavings, poured fruit juice, inserted a small spoon and handed it to the chief.

The head of the village nodded to Tu Fei, and Zhu Xi immediately introduced from the side, telling what everyone said before.
