Rebirth in 1984, starting from beekeeping in the mountains

Chapter 122: A model in all industries, will he be in the newspaper?

"???"

Seeing that the two men did not answer his question, they instead pointed at the basket behind him and asked him to look at it.

Du Yuanbo was stunned again, then turned his head and looked at the baskets beside him.

As for these baskets, he had already taken notice of them at the very beginning.

I was curious at that time.

Fang Hongan and his group said they were villagers from the mountains, but they found a truck and transported the things in the baskets to the county town...

This is a bit weird.

This kind of truck is hard to find and the price is not cheap.

What would be in this basket to make it worthwhile?

However, the basket was not only tied tightly, but also covered with straw. As a hitchhiker, it was not convenient for him to take a look, so he suppressed his curiosity.

And now, Fang Chengtao suddenly asked him to take a look.

After a moment of hesitation, Du Yuanbo suddenly thought of a possibility.

An expression of shock suddenly appeared on his face, and he moved his butt little by little to the edge of a basket.

Turning his head and taking a look at the three people who were smiling with their lips pursed, Du Yuanbo stretched out his hand and pulled the straw from the basket in front of him.

The area he dug up was not large, but it was enough to see clearly what was under the straw.

In sight, there is a transparent film bag, and in the bag, there is liquid flowing as the truck shakes. Although there is no smell and the viscosity cannot be seen, the familiar amber color makes the answer obvious.

"This one……"

His guess was confirmed. Du Yunbo took a breath, turned around, and stared at Fang Hongan and the other three in horror.

After a while, he said in a silly voice: "Are these baskets filled with... honey?"

“Yeah!”

Wang Tong held his head high, looking proud: "Not only that! We also put the honey you bought with the fat aunt and asked them to sell it on our behalf!

Also... the method you mentioned of selling honey jars and wooden spoons was also thought up by my brother!"

"..."

Du Yuanbo fell into a daze again.

After spending a while to digest this information, he let out a long sigh: "So that's how it is!"

A flash of embarrassment flashed across his face, but he soon forced out a smile: "That's really a coincidence!"

While he was sighing, he had already moved his butt to sit next to the three people, holding the jar of honey, and laughed at himself: "I think you guys are all tired of this stuff! Hahaha!"

"But this honey is really delicious. Is this wild honey or honey from bees?"

"The one you bought is wild honey!" Wang Tongdao said, "but the honey in this basket contains not only wild honey, but also honey produced by our farmed bees."

"Farmed?" Du Yuanbo's eyes lit up. "You also raise bees?"

Due to the special nature of his job, Du Yuanbo has traveled to many places over the years, including some in the mountains, but this is the first time he heard of bee farming in Xiaonan area.

Out of curiosity, Du Yuanbo leaned over and started chatting with Fang Hongan and the other three with great interest.

The honey farming business, under the planning and orderly promotion of Fang Hongan, has now been initially launched.

At this stage, there is no need to keep it confidential.

On the contrary, in this situation where transportation and information are quite blocked, it is urgent to make a name for yourself as soon as possible and occupy the leading position as soon as possible.

This is crucial both for quickly establishing the brand and for Fang Hongan's next market expansion.

The amount of wild honey he has dug up now is still enough for Liao San, this devilish rat.

However, as the scale of subsequent breeding continues to expand, it will be difficult for Liao San to consume all of it through his current sales channels in the ghost market, or simply relying on personal consumption demand in the Xin County Ghost Market.

Other sales channels must be expanded as soon as possible.

Moreover, in addition to honey, there are also many other products such as bee species, beeswax, royal jelly, etc.

These are difficult to sell through the channels of Guihaozi like honey.

Once the brand is established, with the extremely inflated market demand in the foreseeable future, you can just sit back and wait for the buyers to come to you...

and so……

Guessing vaguely that Du Yuanbo was related to the newspaper and that his job was probably a correspondent, Fang Hongan did not hide anything from Du Yuanbo's inquiries and took the initiative to briefly introduce the situation of digging and raising bees.

When Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao saw Fang Hongan's attitude, they completely relaxed.

Faced with Du Yuanbo's further questions, he also patiently introduced the situation.

As for Du Yuanbo, the more he inquired, the more surprised he became.

If they said that the three of them had the ability to dig wild honey, he could still accept it.

After all, there are indeed many capable people in such a big mountain.

Not long ago, he had met several mountain herders in the mountains.

Not only can he identify hundreds of medicinal herbs, he is also an expert at setting traps and hunting in the wild.

Entering the mountains is like entering their world.

While others are having a hard time moving forward, they are living like fish in water.

What really shocked Du Yuanbo was Fang Hongan and his team's superb bee-raising skills, their courage to contract a barren hill to build a apiary that was said to be able to house hundreds of beehives, and their clear and long-term understanding of the entire vision of bee breeding.

How does all of this resemble the behavior of a young man from the mountains who has not received much education and has only been to a backward small county like Xin County?

This made Du Yuanbo very excited.

Just as Fang Hongan speculated.

Du Yuanbo is a correspondent of Xiaonan Daily, mainly responsible for writing some information and manuscripts for the newspaper.

There is still a big difference between writing nowadays and later generations.

In an era of poor information flow, a lot of information can only be obtained after obtaining some clues, through correspondents like Du Yuanbo who go deep into the front line to understand and interview.

Of course, because the means are quite simple, and the cycle and cost of acquisition are relatively high, generally speaking, they will only go to remote places when it is important information.

This trip to Qianmaping was a coincidence.

Originally, Du Yuanbo didn't come here for Qianmaping.

Instead, I received an important clue and came to collect information for the press release.

At that time, the leaders at the newspaper were not very willing for him to come.

Du Yuanbo begged the newspaper's leaders for a long time and signed a pledge before he got the letter of introduction.

But unexpectedly, after this happened, something went wrong.

This resulted in Du Yuanbo's original topic being completely scrapped.

It seemed that he would be criticized and embarrassed if he returned. After much thought, Du Yuanbo could only try to use his connections and information channels to dig out some other topics or information to bring back.

After all, we can't come here without getting anything.

After this digging, Du Yuanbo actually discovered a piece of information that really excited him.

Du Yuanbo received this message from an old classmate, who now works in the education department of Xin County.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. This time, Du Yuanbo came to Xin County. He was frustrated at work and needed someone to help. The first person he thought of was naturally this old classmate.

I brought some fruits and went to this old classmate's house to have a drink. This classmate actually took out a dish of fried bee pupae to go with the wine.

This not only surprised Du Yuanbo, as this thing was his favorite, but he was also very clear that it would be quite difficult to get it.

Out of curiosity, I started asking this old classmate.

Upon inquiring, his old classmate told him everything and said that a central school called Qianmaping in Xin County was plagued by ghost-headed bees, and the school had been trying to find a solution for a long time but failed.

Later, several capable people who were able to clean out the ghost wasps were invited. Not only did they clean out the known ghost wasps, they also helped the school find another nest of ghost wasps hidden around the school that posed a huge safety hazard, and they cleaned it out using extremely professional methods.

This story, among his old classmates, is actually just an interesting topic of conversation.

But when Du Yuanbo heard it, he immediately became excited.

Recently, their "Xiaonan Daily" has just launched a module called "Models in All Industries", which aims to discover dedicated and good role models emerging from all walks of life.

After the launch of this module, it has not only received praise and recognition from the superior propaganda department, but also been welcomed by the general public, aroused good social response, and received many letters of praise from the public.

However, after more than 20 issues, there were obvious signs of weakness due to serious homogeneity of content and some model stories were not typical or novel enough.

Gradually, it has become a display platform for some people to gain fame.

Under such circumstances, the newspaper has been trying to discover some unique and innovative role models.

But unfortunately, some of the manuscript information sent in is either fake and empty at first glance, or highly repetitive with what has been advertised before...

Therefore, after hearing this story, Du Yuanbo was immediately interested.

A professional bee digger who can dig out ghost bees... This identity is inherently unique and novel.

What’s more, it has eliminated safety hazards for the school. On a larger scale, it is protecting the future flowers of the motherland!
In addition, the incident of ghost-headed bees injuring people happened to be the focus of their recent reports in the "Xiaonan Daily".

The cause was in Shuangqi County, where two elderly people were stung to death by ghost bees in just two months.

The newspaper also gave focused coverage to these two accidents at the request of relevant departments.

We also want to draw the attention of grassroots departments and the people to strengthen the prevention and control of ghost bees!

In this context, if there happen to be a few "role models" who can overcome the hidden dangers of the ghost bee, it would be really a great opportunity!

Therefore, after asking his old classmate, Du Yuanbo rushed to Qianmaping Town the next day.

It was only after arriving at Qianmaping that Du Yuanbo learned about the entire incident, which was even more legendary than he had previously known.

First of all, that bee was not an ordinary ghost wasp, but a red-necked hornet whose toxicity and ferocity far exceeded that of the ghost wasp.

Secondly, the hidden nest of poisonous bees is even more dangerous. It is right next to the school wall. Every day, students play around there. It is extremely dangerous...

Finally, the three capable people who could clear out the ghost-headed bees were actually young men who were just over 20 years old. It was said that these three people not only helped the school to clear out the hidden dangers of poisonous bees, but also helped the nearby villages to clear out a lot of ghost-headed bees!

Not only is he an accomplished worker, he is also very professional, and has an amazing ability to find and remove beehives...

This made Du Yuanbo even more excited.

The only pity is that according to the introduction from the central school, those young men are all from a small village in the mountains...

If you want to interview, you have to go up the mountain...

At the beginning, he agreed to lend the car to take Du Yuanbo up the mountain.

But unfortunately, the car was not borrowed in the end. Du Yuanbo waited for most of the day, but he really had to rush back to the newspaper office, so he had to give up the idea of ​​interviewing in person.

Anyway, the information collected now is enough for Du Yuanbo to write a fairly detailed special report.

With Du Yuanbo's experience and this report to bring back, he can probably complete the task smoothly this time.

What he never expected was that he would discover a new clue from this car that he stopped casually.

Beekeeping...

If what the three people said just now is true, with that scale and the vision of driving the whole village and the whole mountain to jointly develop the beekeeping industry in the future...

This can definitely be used as a promotional example of "Model in All Industries".

Thinking of this, Du Yuanbo began to think continuously in his mind and organize the information he had just obtained.

Subconsciously, he took out the pen from his chest pocket and a small notebook from his trouser pocket, and prepared to ask more questions and write down some relevant information.

He opened the notebook and flipped through the information he had obtained at school. After a subconscious glance, Du Yuanbo was about to continue flipping through the pages...

But suddenly——

There was a thud.

Du Yuanbo's heart was shocked!
On the big mountain!
Three young guys who are just over twenty years old!

Can dig beehives!

and many more!

these messages……

It can't be such a coincidence!

Could it be that……

Du Yuanbo turned his head suddenly and looked at Fang Hongan and the other two.

The words of Vice President Sun’s introduction quickly emerged in my mind.

The three of them were all young men. The one named Fang Hongan was the backbone. He was not very conspicuous, but he gave people a very calm, steady and comfortable feeling. He also had extraordinary conversation skills...

As for the remaining two, they are not as outstanding as Fang Hongan, but they are also very distinctive...

These……

It totally corresponds!

Could it be that……

Thinking of this, Du Yuanbo took a deep breath and could no longer suppress his inner excitement.

"you you……"

Du Yuanbo excitedly grabbed Fang Hongan's sleeve and asked, "Are you Brother Fang Hongan from Shiwan Village?"

"Ok?"

When Du Yuanbo asked this, Fang Hongan and the other two were all shocked.

Because they had not introduced themselves to Du Yuanbo before, Du Yuanbo had always generally called them "little brothers".

How come you asked this question all of a sudden?

Moreover, he immediately said Fang Hongan's name.

For a moment, both of them couldn't help but look at Fang Hongan.

Fang Hongan was also surprised when he heard Du Yuanbo ask this.

But considering that Du Yuanbo had said before that he came to Qianmaping to find a unit for something, now I think about it, he is most likely looking for the central school, and he may have known about me from Vice Principal Sun or Director Liu.

He is just a newspaper worker, and he is still so excited knowing his identity...

Is it possible...

A possibility emerged in his mind, but Fang Hongan felt that it was too much of a coincidence.

For a moment, I couldn't believe it.

But facing Du Yuanbo's impatient gaze, Fang Hongan still nodded.

“Really…really!”

Du Yuanbo was so excited that he almost stood up.

"What do you mean?"

Seeing how excited he was, Wang Tong couldn't help himself.

"Wang Tong! Brother Wang!"

"And you... should be Brother Fang Chengtao!"

With excitement, Du Yuanbo pointed at Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao in succession.

"Ok!"

"???"

This made Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao even more dumbfounded.

"Coincidence! What a coincidence!"

After being excited, Du Yuanbo couldn't help but grin and laugh.

This excited laughter lasted for several seconds before he noticed that Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao were looking at him in confusion.

He quickly took out his letter of introduction from his pocket and explained to the three people: "I forgot to introduce myself to you. I am a correspondent for the Xiaonan Daily. I went to Qianmaping this time because I heard about the three of you brothers clearing poisonous bees for the school..."

"I have already learned the specific situation from Vice President Sun. I was originally planning to go up the mountain to look for you, but I really don't have a car..."

"I didn't expect that we would meet by chance like this! It's really fate!"

After a sigh, Du Yuanbo briefly explained the reason for the whole incident.

"..."

After hearing this, Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao looked at each other.

Even Fang Hongan was a little confused at first. How could this be such a coincidence? It was really comparable to a plot in a novel.

More importantly, it sounded like Du Yuanbo was planning to write a special report about their help in cleaning up the matchmaker hornets at the school and publish it in the newspaper?
Just this matter?
Is it worth writing about in such detail?
He also noticed Fang Hongan's surprise and astonishment.

Du Yuanbo continued to introduce: "We have a new section in the Xiaonan Daily, which mainly introduces some role models and heroic deeds in various industries. I think what you three did to clean up the poisonous bees for the school is in line with the purpose of our section!

In addition, there are your beekeeping deeds and ideas. If you don’t mind, I would like to write them in as well, combining these two things and writing a special report…”

After confirming the identities of Fang Hongan and the other three, Du Yuanbo immediately rejected the report he had prepared previously.

He thought of a better solution.

Clear out the poisonous bees for the school and protect the future flowers of the motherland!

Born in the mountains, relying on the mountains to make a living, self-taught, beekeeping, and willing to encourage people in the mountains to do beekeeping...

This is a spirit of dedication, devotion and selflessness.

If you write from two aspects, it will definitely be better than the previous one!
