Rebirth in 1984, starting from beekeeping in the mountains

Chapter 123 Quick Shipment!
Du Yuanbo said this excitedly.

It also shocked Fang Hongan and the other three.

From the looks of it, these three of them are going to be in the newspapers?
Fang Hongan had already made some vague guesses based on his own speculation.

So, the shock didn't last long.

But Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao were all in extreme shock.

Be in the newspaper!

This is something they dare not even think about in their life vision.

Just about cleaning up the matchmaker wasps in school?
In excitement, Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao became obviously a little nervous.

Looking at the changes in the three people in front of him, Du Yuanbo couldn't help but smile, and now paid more attention to Fang Hongan.

He also realized that among these three people, Fang Hongan was the absolute backbone.

If this matter is to be accomplished smoothly, it will ultimately fall on Fang Hongan's shoulders.

"OK!"

Facing Du Yuanbo's gaze, Fang Hongan didn't hesitate too much.

This kind of newspaper advertising is even more effective than placing advertisements.

What could he refuse?

"it is good!"

"Then let's talk about some details!"

"My idea is this..."

"Take a look at what I wrote and see if it's appropriate. Are there any parts you need to add?"

……

After explaining his ideas to Fang Hongan and the other three, Du Yuanbo also subconsciously asked Fang Hongan and the others.

This is entirely out of respect for the other party Hongan and others.

In fact, Du Yuanbo didn't hold out hope that Fang Hongan and the others could offer any constructive suggestions.

But what they didn't expect was that after he said this, Fang Hongan nodded and actually listed several opinions.

These opinions are not changes or additions to the details.

Rather, it was some suggestions on the ideas and structure of his entire report.

What shocked Du Yuanbo even more was that after Fang Hongan mentioned these suggestions, when he compared them with the original ones, the whole report had a qualitative leap in both its concept and structure.

In comparison, what he had carefully conceived before was completely pale in comparison.

Shocked, Du Yuanbo couldn't help but respect Fang Hongan.

This person.

But it is definitely not as simple as being a beekeeper in the mountains.

While sighing, thinking about Fang Hongan's wonderful suggestions, Du Yuanbo quickly suppressed his inner excitement, took out a pen and quickly wrote it down.

When he came across something that he felt he didn't understand thoroughly enough, he would pull Fang Hongan aside and humbly ask for advice.

Because he was so impressed in his heart, the way he addressed Fang Hongan changed completely for a moment, and he kept calling him Master Fang with such respect, as if he was treating Fang Hongan as a teacher.

This scene left Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao dumbfounded.

In their eyes, the newspaper correspondents are undoubtedly high-level intellectuals.

My brother (Hongan) actually conquered him.

Awesome!

I was shocked but also very proud.

Du Yuanbo, on his part, was completely conquered by Fang Hongan's knowledge and conversation.

The only thing he regretted was that this journey was too short.

After he finished asking questions related to the report and was about to continue to consult Fang Hongan about some confusions at work, the Jiefang truck had stopped at some point.

Then, the truck driver shouted, "We've arrived at the county town!"

"Oh!"

Although he was still reluctant to leave, Du Yuanbo suddenly realized that it was time to get off the bus.

After all, he had to rush back to the newspaper office today.

At that moment, he excitedly shook hands with Fang Hongan and the other two, then reluctantly got out of the car.

The truck driver on the side looked at Du Yuanbo as if he treated Fang Hongan and the others as his family.

I was extremely curious for a moment.

Wow, it only takes one bus trip.

This guy, how could he kiss like this?

After seeing Du Yuanbo leave, he reconfirmed the get-off point with Fang Hongan and the others, and then the train started again and headed towards the county town.

After about ten minutes, the truck stopped on a gentle slope.

Soon, Liao San's excited voice could be heard from the truck: "We're here! We're here! Over here! Brother Fang!"

This is not Dongmenjing, but an old residential area near Jiefang Square. It looks like there is a road, but it branches off from the main road. In fact, there are not many vehicles and pedestrians passing by.

Obviously, this should be the base where Liao San stores the goods.

When Fang Hongan and the other two got out of the car, Liao San had already come up to them enthusiastically, stuffing a bottle of soda into each of their mouths: "Come! Come! Come! You must be tired! Have a bottle of soda to cool down first!"

Compared to canned fruits, soda is still a bit rarer these days and can only be bought in county towns.

Compared with the various beverages in later generations, the taste is still a bit simple.

But it’s cool, and after sitting here for a few hours, it’s really refreshing to have a sip of it.

It didn't take long for the three of them to finish the bottle of soda.

At this time, Liao San came up again.

Just now, he had already looked at the basket on the car.

Oh boy, except for a pair of baskets made of beeswax.

The rest is honey.

Based on Liao San's experience, the amount in those baskets is definitely no less than 300 kilograms.

How long has it been?

That's so much all at once.

This made him very excited.

Although, after I came back last time, the shipping speed was much lower than the previous two times.

But it is stable at more than 30 kilograms every day.

Even with the 300 kilograms last time, it could only last for ten days at most.

Moreover, as the reputation spreads.

Right now, not only are the ghost rats in Xin County looking for him, wanting to get honey from him, but even some ghost rats in the surrounding counties have also come to him after hearing the news.

Willing to buy honey from him.

This made Liao San want to go to Shiwan Village every few days.

But Fang Hongan and his team were very clear about the situation. The peak period for digging wild honey had passed, and the apiary had just been established.

Under such circumstances, he did not have much expectation for the amount of honey Fang Hongan would bring this time.

I thought that it would be good if I could weigh over 100 pounds.

But the amount in front of me...

It's only been a few days.

Either Fang Hongan and his team have found a new place to dig honey.

Either...

The honey they raised has begun to produce...

Whatever the reason is, it is undoubtedly good news for him.

With excitement, Liao San stuffed a pack of cigarettes into the truck driver's hand and the two began to unload the goods.

Seeing this, Fang Hongan and the other three also stepped forward to help.

The unloaded baskets were moved directly to a small building on the roadside.

After unloading all the goods, one basket after another, Liao San took the initiative to walk up and asked the driver to pay the fare, and then he invited Fang Hongan and the other three to enter the cabin.

This cottage has three floors in total, and the first floor has a wooden door facing the street.

It's definitely a storefront.

It is close to Liberation Square.

I guess this is also the reason why Liao San set up his warehouse here.

After entering the house, Liao San immediately arranged the weighing matters.

Although he entered the warehouse, he was really afraid that something unexpected would happen when facing Fang Hongan.

I don't dare to have any ulterior motives.

After weighing, the honey this time weighed as much as 332 kilograms - the same weight as Fang Hongan and his friends weighed at home.

Liao San also paid the money readily.

Soon after, he took Fang Hongan and the others to the second floor and started entertaining them.

The second floor is a small living room with two bedrooms, which is as messy as the old house in Dongmenjing.

Fang Hongan asked him for a piece of paper, wrote a purchase list and handed it to Liao San.

There are really a lot of things on this list.

But Liao San just took a glance and readily agreed.

With the recent boom in the honey business, he has become a big shot in Ghost Market Street.

My circle of contacts is much wider than before.

It only takes a few words to buy all the things Fang Hongan wants to buy.

It won't delay much.

After putting away the list, Liao San also took the opportunity to inquire about the situation of Fang Hongan's batch of honey.

After learning that Fang Hongan’s apiary already has more than a hundred beehives in total, and the first batch of beehives have begun to harvest honey.

Liao San became even more excited.

This is much better than Fang Hongan and his team finding a new place to dig wild honey.

According to his understanding, Fang Hongan and his team's first batch of beehives had only been put up for a month.

This is enough to harvest honey.

This honey collection cycle was beyond his expectations. If calculated based on this cycle, even if Fang Hongan and his team did not go up the mountain to collect honey, the monthly output of the bee farm alone would greatly exceed the original 150 kilograms.

Thinking of this, Liao San couldn't help but feel agitated.

In the past month, he has made a lot of money just from selling honey.

I have also basically figured out the demand in the entire ghost market.

If it's stable, losing 500 to 600 kilograms a month is not a problem at all.

Plus those foreign ghosts who want to find his stuff...

With the channels he has now, the amount he can consume can be said to be quite large.

Under this premise, the more output Fang Hongan and his apiary can produce, the better.

"Brother Hongan!" After organizing for a while, Liao Sanmang couldn't wait to inquire, "Your bee farm can harvest honey every month now, right?"

"Ok!"

When Liao San opened his mouth, Fang Hongan knew what he was thinking and asked directly, "Do you want to increase the dosage every month?"

"Yes Yes!"

Seeing that Fang Hongan had made it clear, Liao San simply nodded in acknowledgment.

"How much do you want?"

"How much can you produce?" This time, Liao San did not answer, but asked cunningly.

Fang Hongan: "As for the bee farm, 500 kilograms should be no problem!"

"Five hundred kilograms?" Liao San was excited, but then he realized that Fang Hongan was only talking about the apiary, not the wild honey digging part.

Of course, he also knew that Fang Hongan had other shipping channels besides him.

For example, the small shop in Qianmaping Market.

Obviously, Fang Hongan didn't want to put the eggs in his cage.

However, he naturally strives for the greatest benefit. After pondering for a moment, he did not hide his desire. He looked at Fang Hongan and said directly: "Then I want 600 kilograms a month!"

Looking at each other, Fang Hongan thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay!"

"Then...it's settled!"

I heard Fang Hongan agreed so readily.

Liao San became excited again.

……

Rejected Liao San’s idea of ​​arranging lunch.

After some tidying up.

Fang Hongan called Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao, and the three of them carried the beeswax and picked up the kettle containing royal jelly, and hurried to the medicinal materials purchasing station.

Because of the busy farming season in summer, few people go up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs, and it is the off-season.

At the medicinal materials purchasing station.

Many people were taking a nap.

In sharp contrast, the old herbalist was in high spirits, holding a few slices of medicinal herbs and looking at them carefully.

He was so serious that he didn't notice Fang Hongan and the others coming over.

It was only when Fang Hongan and the others approached the counter that he felt someone approaching and said slowly: "Wait for me for a moment, just put the things you want to sell on the counter, I'll take a look!"

While speaking, his eyes were still fixed on the medicinal herbs carefully without even raising his head.

"Hey……"

Wang Tong was just about to speak and call out the old herbalist.

But Fang Hongan waved his hand and interrupted him.

Immediately, Fang Hongan took out the kettle containing royal jelly, placed it directly on the counter, and opened the lid of the kettle.

The old herbalist saw Fang Hong put the things down and didn't show any intention of looking up.

Still looking at the medicinal herbs in front of him.

But after looking at it for a while, his nose suddenly twitched.

"Chichi..."

After two tries, as if he was doubting his sense of smell, he couldn't help but take two deep breaths.

After confirming what he smelled, his head whipped around.

This time, he didn't look at Fang Hongan and the other three.

Instead, he looked directly in the direction of the smell and locked onto the kettle on the counter.

Then, excitedly, he picked up the kettle on the counter.

The head has already moved forward impatiently.

Look and smell...

The sullen face just now soon showed excitement.

“Royal jelly!”

"It's royal jelly!"

He suddenly raised his head, glanced around, and quickly fixed his eyes on Fang Hongan.

In excitement, he snatched the lid from Fang Hongan's hand and covered the royal jelly again. He couldn't wait to ask Fang Hongan, "When did you take it?"

"This morning! Don't worry, they are all preserved according to your instructions, guaranteed to be fresh and active!" Fang Hongan said.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Without saying a word, the old herbalist took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and handed it directly to Fang Hongan.

This stack of banknotes includes yuan, dimes and cents.

The stack was almost one centimeter thick.

Moreover, it is directly circled with a rubber ring.

It was obvious that the old herbalist had already prepared it in advance.

"it is good!"

Fang Hongan didn't even count and just threw it into his pocket.

Taking advantage of the situation, I took out the beeswax.

The appearance of more than 100 kilograms of beeswax once again shocked the old herbalist.

After seeing the quality, he even smiled.

But when it came to the price of the acquisition, he suddenly remembered something, stood up and rushed into the back door.

Seeing this scene, Fang Chengtao was a little confused.

But Fang Hongan and Wang Tong couldn't help but look at each other when they saw this familiar scene.

"Brother! Has this old pharmacist gone in again to help us bargain for the price?" Wang Tong couldn't help but wink.

"Help us to ask for a price?"

Fang Chengtao seemed a little confused after hearing this?
This is supposed to be a bargain, right?
But when he saw the smiling expressions of Wang Tong and Fang Hongan.

Just know that this is probably true.

For a moment, I couldn't help but be amazed.

After waiting for a while, the old pharmacist came out again, muttering some curses.

Apparently, communication about the asking price was not going well.

As soon as the old pharmacist came out, he persuaded Fang Hongan and the others, "The quality of your beeswax is better than last time. I want to give you at least 1.5 yuan per catty, but they don't want to! You must have at least 100 catties here. I think you should collect all the beeswax and go to Guixian to sell it next time!"

"No need!" Fang Hongan shook his head. "I don't need this little money! Besides... I may not sell the medicinal materials purchasing station next time! Just consider it as a favor to you!"

"Okay! As long as you're willing to accept it!"

The old herbalist was not stubborn. After hearing what Fang Hongan said, he knew that he should be able to find other people to get the beeswax. He couldn't help but mutter and curse a few words, and then he helped Fang Hongan and the others to weigh it and issue the invoice!
After Fang Hongan and the others took the tickets and went to the payment window to collect the money, they agreed with the old herbalist on the time for the next delivery of royal jelly.

He hurriedly left the medicinal materials purchasing station.

The shipping and purchasing have been completed smoothly.

Found a state-owned restaurant and had lunch.

Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao both mentioned the matter of getting a car.

This is exactly what Fang Hongan wants.

After a short rest, under the guidance of Fang Chengtao, the three of them came directly to Jianshe Road in Xin County.

This is considered an old street in Xin County.

It is also the busiest street.

Everything related to food, clothing, housing and transportation can be found here.

Blacksmith shops, repair shops, tailoring stalls, and stores selling farm machinery and tools...

They all gathered on this street!
The three of them chose to go directly to a sales station that sold flatbed carts and bucket trucks.

After some inquiries, I found out that I didn't need industrial coupons like buying a bicycle, but the price was still quite expensive.

And there is no bargaining.

After thinking and comparing, Fang Hongan chose a compromise solution and bought a ready-made bucket truck.

But for a flatbed cart, you can just buy some spare parts and ask an experienced carpenter to help you build the wooden deck and then assemble the parts.

Not only can you save money, the craftsmanship of the old carpenter is also much better than the quality of those sold here.

After finalizing the plan, Fang Hongan paid the money, then found a cart, and took the purchased cart parts and bucket cart back to Liao San's warehouse.

Coincidentally, as soon as the cart arrived, Liao San also came back carrying a large load of things.

The two baskets on the shoulder pole were filled with the things on Fang Hongan's list.

If you buy all these things, then you'll be done with this trip.

Fang Hongan asked Wang Tong to find the truck driver who was loading the goods, while he stayed behind with Fang Chengtao to count the items.

After counting the items here and sitting down to rest for a short while, the rumble of a truck was heard outside the house.

When I went out, I saw it was that truck.

this time……

The truck was transporting goods to Qianmaping Town.

However, I had already discussed with the truck driver when I started driving that after unloading the goods at Qianmaping, I would make one more trip to take them to Shiwan Village.

Anyway, I pay for the gas, the hard work and I also get honey!
The truck driver also readily agreed.

The purchased items were loaded onto the truck one by one, and with a rumble, the truck drove towards the vast mountains again...
