Rebirth in 1984, starting from beekeeping in the mountains

Chapter 106: Xie Sanlaba fails to learn by stealing and ends up suffering!

Looking at these two confused people.

Fang Hongan couldn't help but smile, and pulled the two of them aside to explain again.

No matter whether it is digging ghost bees or digging wild honey.

It's impossible to keep it secret forever.

Fang Hongan felt that it was extremely rare and precious that they had been able to keep the secret until now.

Speaking of which, I have to thank Xie Sanlaba.

If he hadn't spread the rumor about his uncle who was eating state-funded food.

The clues revealed by these few people in this matter would have attracted people's attention long ago, and turned their attention to them.

Who would have thought that it would be accidentally broken by Xie San's horn now?

Fang Hongan had also already prepared himself to be exposed.

Under the current circumstances, there is no need to worry about being exposed.

Even after the news was exposed, some jealous villagers rushed to grab the goods, but Fang Hongan was not at a disadvantage at all.

Digging for honey?
The honey on the nearby hills has basically been dug out.

Digging ghost bees?

Fang Hongan made a special trip to the county town just to make this bee-proof suit. He was lucky enough to find the right material.

Who can make it quickly in such a hurry?

From researching clothing styles, finding suitable materials, and then finding a tailor who can make them...

Waiting for the whole process to go through.

All the ghost bees around here that could be cleared away have already been cleared away.

After eating the meat, they couldn't even take a bite of the soup...

……

Some explanation.

As Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao listened, the expressions on their faces gradually stabilized.

The two of them smiled awkwardly, and then couldn't help but ask curiously about Fang Hongan's birthday celebration.

original.

In addition to the exposure of their digging of ghost bees, the rumor that Fang Hongan brought back two large baskets of gifts from his father-in-law's house also spread widely throughout the village.

Fang Hongan was too lazy to explain more about this.

These two single guys just don’t understand even if I explain it to them.

Thinking of this, Fang Hongan quickly called Lan Wenxiu out and pulled the two of them to talk about another matter.

On the way back to Lanxi Village this time, Lan Wenxiu recalled that Fang Hongan had teased them about being single.

After being together for such a long time, Lan Wenxiu knew these two people inside and out and felt that they were both good in terms of moral character and personality.

One of them has a wild temperament and acts in a hurry; the other is unstable and either thinks too much or is a bit rash.

Fortunately, after following Fang Hongan for so many days, these shortcomings have been significantly improved.

But Fang Hongan also said that although he can discipline and sharpen them, a man's true growth still depends on women.

They are both quite old now.

In rural areas, it’s time to find a partner.

Otherwise, if you keep wandering around, all sorts of nonsense will spread as word gets passed around.

By then, it will be even harder to find a partner!
Coincidentally, Lan Wenxiu remembered that there were quite a few women of marriageable age in their Lanxi Village and nearby villages.

Although, take Taozi for example, her last blind date with her best friend ended in failure.

But this is a different time!
Now these two people are no longer the same as before, following Fang Hongan in digging and raising bees.

As long as they are attracted to each other, Lan Wenxiu feels that the possibility of success is very high.

So, when she was about to leave yesterday, she took advantage of the fact that her sister-in-law Xue Fen, eldest sister Lan Wenhui, and second sister Lan Wenjuan were all there.

Lan Wenxiu told Fang Hongan that her two good brothers wanted to find a partner.

I heard that Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao were digging and raising bees with Fang Hongan.

Xue Fen, Lan Wenhui and Lan Wenjuan all expressed great interest.

When they were returning this morning, the three of them handed Lan Wenxiu several photos. Each photo was of a young girl. On the back of the photo, some simple information such as age, height, weight, family situation, etc. was written.

Now that both of them are here.

Lan Wenxiu decided to strike while the iron was hot and told the two of them about this.

What this means is that these two people should first look through the photos to see if there is anyone they like.

If yes, she will ask someone to take the letter back and arrange the next meeting or blind date.

Of course, there is no guarantee that this will work.

But it also provides a rare blind date opportunity for these two single guys!

It sounds like this...

Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao's faces suddenly turned red, and they both looked embarrassed.

But those two pairs of eyes still revealed excitement and desire.

Seeing the two of them being awkward and unable to let go, Fang Hongan winked at Lan Wenxiu, found an excuse, and went to the thatched house to see the boxes being sealed.

Leave the stage in this room to Lan Wenxiu.

Fang Hongan is not good at matchmaking or introducing singles to potential partners, so it would be more appropriate to leave this to Lan Wenxiu.

Came to the thatched house.

At present, there are 15 boxes of honey in the entire straw house.

It's already full, and at this stocking density, it's basically reached the limit!

Fortunately, after some planning, Fang Hongan has already found a second breeding site.

That was Fang Chengtao's home, a simple wooden house not far from Laoyaling.

It is right next to the two acres of dry land owned by Fang Chengtao's family.

The reason for building this wooden house was that Fang Hongjiang listened to a cousin and thought that after the household contract responsibility system was implemented, families would be better off and would be willing to spend some money on food.

It happened that when Fang Hongjiang was working outside a few years ago, he helped someone grow watermelons for a year.

Encouraged by my cousin, I planted two acres of watermelons two years ago.

It was planted in two batches, about ten days apart.

As a result, when the first crop of watermelons was about to ripen, people would often go and steal them at night.

In desperation, Fang Hongjiang simply built a wooden house at the edge of the nearby woods.

I got a mat and went up there every day to guard the watermelons.

As a result, after guarding the watermelons for almost two months, in the end, they didn’t make much money!

After doing the math, I realized that apart from earning a lot of watermelons to eat, I didn't make any money at all.

So, since last year, I haven’t planted watermelons anymore.

The wooden house became empty.

Fang Chengtao specially took Fang Hongan and Wang Tong to see it.

Although the wooden house was simple, it was nailed firmly.

After being vacant for two years, only a few parts are damaged. The main structure is still quite solid and its rainproof capabilities are excellent.

More importantly, there are not only large areas of rapeseed flowers planted nearby every year, but also wild nectar plants such as Chinese tallow tree, osmanthus, vitex, and chestnut!

There is no doubt that it is an excellent choice as a breeding site.

On that day, I went to Fang Chengtao's home and had a face-to-face talk with his father Fang Hongjiang. When Fang Hongjiang heard that Fang Hongan wanted to use the wooden house to raise bees, he was very eager to learn.

Even after his leg got a little better, he took Fang Chengtao's mother and the couple went to the wooden house and cleaned it inside and out, which had been abandoned for two years.

According to what Fang Hongan said, some modifications were made to ensure rainproof and ventilation, and a lock was added to the door.

When Fang Hongan was called to go and see.

The entire wooden house has been prepared to the point where beehives can be placed directly inside.

The wooden house is bigger than the thatched house, so it shouldn't be a problem to place 15 beehives there.

Fang Hongan has also thought about it. After all 15 beehives are placed, he can continue to build wooden houses there and develop that area into a relatively concentrated apiary.

At that time, it will also be convenient for centralized management.

However, we have to take it step by step for now.

Check the condition of each beehive one by one.

After making sure that the 15 beehives were in good condition, Fang Hongan walked out of the thatched house and slowly returned to the mud house.

At this time, Lan Wenxiu should have basically agreed on the blind date with Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao.

When Fang Hongan returned, Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao were both grinning and talking to Lan Wenxiu.

That silly expression fully illustrates the meaning of the two words "heart blossoming" and "heart fluttering".

After seeing Fang Hongan coming back, they all smiled awkwardly and lowered their heads in embarrassment.

When the two men were called into the house, Fang Hongan didn't even need to ask them. They started talking proudly about their gains in the past three days.

During these three days, the two dug up a total of 7 nests of ghost wasps.

We also collected 5 beehives and dug nearly 80 kilograms of honey.

7 nests of ghost bees have been soaked in nearly 100 kilograms of wine.

The processed bee pupae weigh more than 20 kilograms.

When I came here just now, I brought 10 kilograms for Fang Hongan and the others.

As for the 5 nests of honey they had collected, the two had already gone to the wooden house at the second breeding site and checked the boxes!
In the afternoon, the two went to check and found that the bee colonies had stabilized!
After listening to their introductions.

Fang Hongan couldn't help but smile.

Based on this record, these two people are indeed worthy of pride!

Even if you know these two people, they already have the ability to work independently in digging out ghost bees, collecting bees, and transferring bees to hives.

But this fruitful transcript is worthy of recognition and praise.

Fang Hongan excitedly clapped his hands to congratulate the two men, and also pulled them to talk about the next plan. First of all, the amount of honey and ghost head bee wine currently stored was already very large.

It's time for a sales wave.

As for sales channel, naturally, it will still follow Liao San's route.

Anyway, I had made an agreement with Liao San before I came back last time.

This time, just wait until someone nearby goes to the county town, and ask someone to take a letter to the county town. When Liao San receives the message, he will naturally go up the mountain to collect it as soon as possible!

Wang Tong said that his uncle's family is going to the county town tomorrow.

This matter was naturally handed over to Wang Tong.

Second.

This ghost bee has dug more than ten nests.

The route has been exposed again.

Next, we still have to hurry up to dig out the ghost bees, but we also have to speed up the harvesting of the honey bees.

The current 20 boxes of bees are still a little too few.

Anyway, the old carpenter has recently increased his speed in making beehives and can make about three beehives a day.

A good number of beehives have been accumulated, and it would be best if they were completed within the next ten days.

Expand the beehives to around 60.

When we reach this scale, by the middle of next month, we will not only be able to extract honey, but also find a way to extract royal jelly.

After all, the old pharmacist is still eagerly waiting for that pound of royal jelly.

At last.

It’s the plan to build a apiary near the wooden house.

Although it was a barren forest, it was no big deal for Fang Hongjiang to build a wooden house there.

But if we want to build a apiary to raise bees, there will definitely be people in the village who will be jealous and will try to hinder us.

Therefore, it would be best to rent the wasteland over there.

Fang Hongan was planning to deal with this matter together with his application for housing land.

It can be said that the main purpose is to let Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao have an overall understanding of what they are going to do in the next six months, and to give these two people a clear goal and direction!
uh~~
In fact, it is similar to the empty promises of later generations.

However, Fang Hongan’s promise was too realistic.

After hearing Fang Hongan's plans, Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao were immediately excited, their eyes full of desire to fight.

He took Fang Hongan aside to consult him about the problems he had encountered in the past few days, and after dinner, he left reluctantly.

Send these two away.

Lan Wenxiu first took out the photos of two women that Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao liked and showed them to Fang Hongan.

These two people, one is the plump type, the other is the tall and thin type.

It seems that he matches well with both of them.

After looking at the basic information behind the photo, Wang Tong chose a beautiful woman who was a cousin of Lan Guihai. Her family was also from Lanxi Village and her family was quite well off.

The pretty and tall girl chosen by Fang Chengtao was a cousin of his eldest sister-in-law Xue Fen. She was from the same village as Yang Huaping and was related to Yang Huaping's family. Although her family conditions were average, it was said that the girl was very filial and good at managing the household.

The choices made by these two people are in line with their personalities.

Asking Lan Wenxiu to keep this in mind, Fang Hongan plans to take Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao to his father-in-law's house when he is free next month to settle this matter first.

Start a family and build a career! Start a family and build a career!
After they get married, they can focus on their careers without distraction.

After all, beekeeping in the mountains is a tough job, to be honest.

Once you get involved, when you are busy, you may have to stay in the mountains for a long time.

Let alone blind dates, I may not even have time to visit friends.

Arrange the marriage of the two of them so as not to delay them.

Marriage is such an important event in life and should not be taken lightly.

Therefore, this matter should not only be discussed with the parents of these two people first, but at this time, the two of them should also be allowed to establish a correct and complete view of marriage.

To avoid doing bad things with good intentions!
However, as an outsider, we can only try our best to guide.

Everything is still in the hands of these two people.

……

……

into the night.

Although the two rumors about Fang Hongan became the focus of discussion in the entire Shiwan Village in the evening.

But Fang Hongan and Lan Wenxiu closed the door of the earthen house.

Fall asleep peacefully amid the chirping of insects and the sound of wind.

The next morning.

As planned, Fang Hongan got up early.

After meeting up with Fang Chengtao who had been waiting outside the door, the two of them walked towards Shanmuling Village.

Although it is also early.

But when the two of them walked onto the road, many people along the way must have heard their footsteps and began to look closely.

After seeing Fang Hongan and Fang Chengtao, he immediately believed yesterday's rumors.

Among them, there were many people who got up early to work and came over directly.

While saying hello, he took the opportunity to ask Fang Hongan and the others whether they were going to dig out ghost bees.

In response, Fang Hongan nodded decisively in acknowledgment.

But for these people who continue to inquire, it is blatant inquiry like how much can be dug out from a nest and how much money can be made.

Fang Hongan simply used vague words to fool people.

When our family was poor, we didn't even bother to look at her.

When they see someone has a way to make money, they will not only approach them but also inquire about their income.

Is this polite?

After casually fooling these people, when someone came to inquire later, Fang Hongan would smile if he saw that they were someone he had a good relationship with before.

As for those with whom we have a distant relationship, we won’t indulge them and will not even bother to respond to direct calls.

This did cause some people to be unhappy.

On the spot, someone expressed his desire to go up the mountain to dig as well.

Some of them spoke with such confidence just to vent their anger, while some... were really tempted by the rumored amount of money that could be made.

After dealing with all these troubles, by the time they met up with Wang Tong at the border of the fir forest, it was already much later than usual.

However, because they were going to dig up three nests of ghost bees today, Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao had already marked them, saving the trouble of luring the bees.

The progress is not slow at all.

The first swarm of bees was cleared in less than an hour.

but.

That is when digging the second hive.

Three people suddenly emerged from the thatched grass nearby.

The leader was Xie Qiangbin.

Next to him was Xie Qiangbin’s second brother, Xie Erlaba, Xie Qiangwu.

The one on the other side is not Xie Qiangbin’s elder brother Xie Dalabao, also known as Xie Qiangwen.

Instead, he was a relative of Xie Qiangbin in Shanmulin Village. If Fang Hongan remembered correctly, he seemed to be his cousin, whose surname was Wang and whose given name was Lang.

It was obvious that these three people came here with a plan.

After arriving, he didn't greet anyone or speak. He just picked a place that was far away but had a good view, and stood with his hands clasped, looking like he was watching the fun.

Seeing this scene, Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao, who were originally preparing to collect the bees, couldn't help but stop.

I couldn't help but drive him away with a few words.

This expulsion made Xie Qiangbin even more excited.

He has an attitude of "I'm just watching the fun, what can you do to me?"

Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao were so angry that they almost raised their fists.

It was Fang Hongan who made a gesture to the two of them and called them to stop.

Reassure them both and let them proceed as usual.

Seeing Fang Hongan as steady as a mountain.

Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao no longer had any concerns.

After digging out the second hive, Xie Qiangbin and his two companions continued to follow and observe the third hive.

Judging from his appearance, he was planning to play rogue and learn it on the spot.

I finished learning secretly that day.

The next day, when Fang Hongan and the others went up the mountain again.

A lot of people joined the team that was secretly learning and observing.

Except for two who were newly called by Xie Qiangbin.

There were a few others who heard the news and followed Xie Qiangbin's example to learn how to make money by digging out ghost bees.

This situation still existed on the third day.

However, on the third day, there were a lot more people.

But strangely, Xie Qiangbin and his group never came again.

But then...

When Fang Hongan and his friends returned to the village in the evening.

I heard an extremely explosive news -

Xie Sanlaba followed their lead and went up the mountain to dig out ghost bees, but he was stung by them. He was poisoned and fell into a coma. He has now been sent to the town clinic for emergency treatment!
