Rebirth in 1984, starting from beekeeping in the mountains

Chapter 126 Zheng Quan joins the bee farm! It's in the newspaper! (Two in one)

Zheng Quan!

Although after that trip to the market together, Fang Hongan already knew that he would go into the mountains and set traps to hunt.

But in this case, it was him that was seen.

Fang Hongan was still quite surprised.

His face darkened and he quickly squatted down and put his hand in front of his nose.

After this exploration, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I can clearly feel my breathing.

Looked it over.

Zheng Quan's entire body was covered in redness and swelling on his ankle where his shoe was missing, and there were a lot of abrasions on his arms and legs. There seemed to be no obvious wounds on other parts of his body.

it depends.

It should have just fallen from there.

I was knocked unconscious by the fall.

Look at it this way.

He must have set the trap.

Although Gouyaling is the border area between Shanmuling Village and Jiangjialing Village.

But in fact, it is not far from Xichongling Village.

Just look at the wild goods that Zheng Quan took to Qianmaping Market to sell last time, they were all small wild animals such as cured wild rabbits, bamboo rats, pheasants, and turtledoves.

This time, he went to the dense forest of Gouyaling and brought with him a large trap that can be used to hunt wild boars, musk deer, deer and the like.

Even though his legs were inconvenient, he still took the risk to attack the wild boar weighing more than 200 pounds.

This is obviously a bit unreasonable.

Looking at Zheng Quan's complexion, he looked obviously more haggard and haggard than when he saw him a month ago.

Especially the face that had been clean-cut before, now with a scruffy beard. Judging from the length of the beard, it must have been more than half a month since he last shaved.

Before, the impression Zheng Quan gave Fang Hongan was that although he had a leg problem, he was quite self-reliant and particular.

The image before me is in stark contrast to the previous one.

This situation made Fang Hongan think of a possibility.

if it is like this……

Perhaps this can also explain why he risked his life to come to Gouya Ridge to hunt wild boars.

Think of this.

Fang Hongan couldn't help but touch the back of Zheng Quan's head.

At such a high distance, the ground below is not made of stone, but it is hard mud.

The man fell down and fainted again.

The breathing seems to be even and normal, but I'm afraid there will be any problems with your head from the fall.

I touched it and found a clear cyst where the head landed.

It doesn't feel big to the touch, so it doesn't seem to be serious.

Fang Hongan recalled the first aid knowledge he had heard in his previous life and was preparing to take the next step.

"Uh-huh!"

A groan.

Zheng Quan, who was lying on the ground, twisted his body, groaned, and slowly woke up.

He first stretched out his hand to touch the back of his head, cried out in pain, and then his hazy eyes slowly opened.

He turned his head subconsciously, trying to see the surrounding situation clearly.

However, in the blink of an eye, he saw Fang Hongan squatting next to him.

As his eyes froze, the expression on his face was stupid.

"Ok?"

A sound of surprise was uttered.

Then, he rubbed his eyes vigorously with his hands.

After rubbing it for a while, he looked at it carefully again.

After confirming that he was not mistaken, he quickly turned his head to take a look at the surrounding situation.

It is definitely in the same dense forest as before.

Fang Hongan pointed at him and was surprised: "Fang... Brother Fang, why are you... here?"

There was both surprise and joy on his face.

But more of it is the feeling of being at a loss after being caught.

Judging from his appearance, it was obvious that there was nothing wrong with his head from the fall.

Fang Hongan smiled and said, "We just came in to run a little and happened to run into you!"

After saying that, seeing that he was struggling to get up, Fang Hongan hurriedly supported him and prepared to help him sit up.

But Zheng Quan stretched out his hand and directly refused: "I...can do it myself!"

There was a firm determination in his tone.

After he finished speaking, he supported himself on the ground with his hands, bent his legs and prepared to turn over and get up.

However, as soon as he bent his leg and exerted force, his expression suddenly twisted, he frowned, bared his teeth and let out a sharp cry of pain.

In such pain, there was no way I could even turn over and get up.

The hands that were supporting him were no longer able to support himself, and his whole body suddenly fell down.

Fortunately, Fang Hongan on the side had already anticipated this situation.

He quickly reached out and held him.

"thank you!"

While frowning and enduring the pain from his ankle, Zheng Quan did not forget to express his gratitude to Fang Hongan.

Then, that face was immediately covered with a look of dejection and regret.

Seeing this, Fang Hongan counseled: "It should be a sprained ankle, it's not a big problem. You know Doctor Wang in Shanmuling Village, he is good at treating this kind of injuries. I will carry you down the mountain and go directly to him to apply medicine. It will be healed in less than ten days!"

As he spoke, Fang Hongan had already begun to pick up some odds and ends scattered around on the ground.

After picking them up, he found the bamboo basket that had rolled to the side and put everything into it.

the other side.

Listening to Fang Hongan's words, Zheng Quan instinctively waved his hands: "Carry it? So far? No... no need! I... I'll find two sticks to support myself later. Can... can I do it?"

"stick?"

Fang Hongan blinked his eyes, knowing that this guy was just showing off because of his strong self-esteem and self-improvement, so he shook his head decisively, "It would be a miracle if he can do it!"

I have to make excuses when I see him.

He waved his hand to interrupt: "Don't be stubborn, your leg is just twisted now. If you insist on walking for several miles on the mountain road, even if your foot is not disabled, you will have to lie down for several months at least!

You'd better think carefully before you argue about what's important! "

Self-respect and self-reliance are what a person must have.

But for someone like Zheng Quan, who has already reached the point of being insane, that is too much.

Although Fang Hongan could understand that this was probably due to the defect of his foot, a habit he developed since childhood.

But it’s also a psychological illness.

Get cure!

A loud drum needs to be hit with a heavy hammer!
Fang Hongan's words were very direct and serious.

As Fang Hongan finished speaking, Zheng Quan's face immediately turned red, and his expression was filled with embarrassment.

Obviously, Fang Hongan's words hit the sore spot.

Head down, biting his lip.

After hesitating for a while, he finally nodded silently.

He took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at Fang Hongan: "That's... troublesome, no... but... let's not go to Shanmuling Village, please send... send me back to our village! I... I have medicine at home! I can just rest at home!"

The old doctor Wang from Shanmuling Village is well-known in the surrounding area for his skills in treating injuries and sprains.

But I heard that a prescription costs at least a few dollars.

How could he afford to pay this money when his family is still in debt?

Besides, if we go to Shanmuling Village, we won’t be able to live there.

Eventually they had to go back to their Xichongling Village.

By then we will have to trouble Fang Hongan and others.

Although he sincerely wanted to get to know Fang Hongan and the others, he always had to start by causing them trouble, which made Zheng Quan feel uncomfortable.

"Okay! You're being so stubborn again!"

Fang Hongan shook his head helplessly and said directly: "Money can be earned back after it is spent, but it is not easy to get better if there is something wrong with your body! To be honest, you should have a better say than me on this point, right?
Don’t be afraid of trouble! It’s not shameful to trouble others! Rely on your parents at home and rely on your friends when you go out! Friends are friends who help each other when you need them! "

After saying a few words lightly, Fang Hongan did not elaborate any more. He placed the bamboo basket in front of Zheng Quan, then sat aside and waited quietly.

On this side, one could feel the straightforward meaning behind Fang Hongan's words.

Zheng Quan bit his lip and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he slowly uttered a rather helpless sentence: "I... I have no money!"

As soon as these words came out, it was as if a crack was created in the "defense line" that he had forcibly built up.

Then, under the intense emotional catharsis, the entire "defense line" collapsed in an instant.

Zheng Quan also began to vent his feelings with tears in his eyes:
"Brother Fang! My mother is gone!"

"I spent so much money but couldn't keep her!"

"I'm already in a lot of debt!"

"Now my own uncle is here to collect debts from me! I came to this mountain because I had no other choice..."

"But who knew it would be like this? I seem to have… I seem to have messed it up again…"

……

It must have been accumulated for too long.

To vent his feelings, Zheng Quan cried as he spoke, his face full of tears, and his voice became hoarse with excitement.

Listen quietly.

Fang Hongan had no intention of interrupting from beginning to end.

He just sat there and listened silently, then nodded to show that he understood.

I waited in silence for a long time.

After hearing Zheng Quan's twitching sobs gradually subside, he slowly walked in front of him, squatted down, and looked at him seriously: "When you said this trip was messed up, do you mean the wild boar ran away?"

"Ok!"

Zheng Quan nodded silently.

Since Fang Hongan could find him here.

He must have also seen the situation in the bamboo forest.

It’s not difficult to guess that it’s a wild boar.

Facing Fang Hongan in front of him, Zheng Quan had no intention of hiding anything.

"If that's the case!" Fang Hongan raised his eyebrows, "Then it can't be said to be a complete mess, right?"

"Uh?"

Zheng Quan looked up in surprise and looked at Fang Hongan in confusion.

"Let's go!" Fang Hongan supported his body, turned around and pretended to carry him on his back, "I'll take you to share the wild boar meat!"

"Wild boar...meat?"

Zheng Quan's body suddenly trembled, and he exclaimed with round eyes: "You mean... that wild boar was hit by you?"

"Yep!"

Fang Hongan nodded calmly: "It's just a coincidence! We didn't come here to hunt wild animals today! We just happened to run into that wild boar! It's also thanks to your knife, and the trap that broke one of its legs! Otherwise, how could we have picked up such a big beast weighing more than 200 kilograms! You should have one of the four legs!"

"Is that so?"

Zheng Quan opened his mouth wide. After listening to Fang Hongan's explanation, he basically understood the whole story.

But then, he waved his hands vigorously: "No... No! I can't take so much, it escaped... escaped! According to the rules..."

"I know the rules better than you do!" Fang Hongan didn't give him any more time to explain. He pulled him by the body and carried him on his back, muttering, "Such nagging. If you keep being stubborn, it will be really boring!"

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his foot and hooked the bamboo basket on the ground, took it in his hand and stuffed it to Zheng Quan behind him: "Take it!"

"Ok!"

This time, Zheng Quan did not refuse.

He responded solemnly, and then continued word by word: "Thank you! Brother Fang! If it weren't for you... I'm afraid I would be dead today!"

He spoke seriously, and his face, which Fang Hongan couldn't see, was filled with gratitude.

"gone!"

Fang Hongan smiled and looked at the direction to go around the lowland.

He carried him around the bamboo forest, picked up the shoes and the trap, and then walked along the same route he came from, towards the direction of hunting the wild boar.

It is naturally impossible to walk fast in this dense forest environment while carrying a person on your back.

When we were almost halfway there, we suddenly heard a whistle from the direction we were heading.

The whistle had a gentle tone, which was different from the one Fang Hongan used before hunting wild boars.

It was the unique signal sound agreed upon by Fang Hongan and Wang Tong.

Needless to say, Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao must have felt that they had waited long enough and were worried that something might happen to Fang Hongan, so they blew the whistle.

Seeing this, Fang Hongan also responded.

Soon, the whistling over there stopped.

"Is it Brother Wang Tong?"

Listening to this tacit cooperation, Zheng Quan couldn't help but ask Fang Hongan, with a hint of envy in his tone.

"Yes!"

Fang Hongan nodded: "There is also a brother named Taozi... I will introduce him to you later!"

"it is good!"

Zheng Quan couldn't help but grin when he heard this.

After walking for a while, they could vaguely see Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao squatting on the ground and working busy.

Judging from the situation, the blood had been drained and the stomach had been opened, and now they seemed to be processing the internal organs.

"call!"

Seeing this scene, Zheng Quan on Fang Hongan's back became obviously excited. He couldn't help but ask Fang Hongan, "How is it? This wild boar... should be more than 200 pounds!"

"Sure!" Fang Hongan responded, "I estimate that it should be more than 250 kilograms!"

"It's good that I hit it! It's good that I hit it!" Zheng Quan said happily.

The two of them spoke these words.

Upon hearing the news, Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao on the other side also looked over here.

Soon Fang Hongan was seen coming back.

He even discovered Zheng Quan who was carried on his back.

At such a distance, it was naturally impossible to recognize that it was Zheng Quan.

But this time, he only brought back one person. Seeing this, the two men dropped the things in their hands and ran towards this side as fast as they could.

"Brother! What's going on? Is someone injured?"

Before he ran over, Wang Tong couldn't wait to ask.

"Brother Wang Tong! It's me!" Zheng Quan was both excited and embarrassed when he saw Wang Tong.

However, after hearing what Fang Hongan said before, the knot in my heart was relieved a lot. I gritted my teeth, waved my hand and took the initiative to say hello.

After he said this, Wang Tong had already run to Fang Hongan's store.

Hearing this voice and seeing Zheng Quan's appearance, Wang Tong was startled: "Zheng...Zheng Quan!"

Then, he ran over impatiently, helped the already out of breath Fang Hongan to take it, put it on his back, and asked with concern: "Brother Zheng Quan! How...how could you be injured? Where are you injured!"

"My ankle!" Zheng Quan sighed. "I sprained my ankle when I was chased by that wild boar. It's swollen."

"Oh! That's okay! Let's carry you to see the old doctor in our village! He can diagnose this kind of injury accurately!"

After saying this, he suddenly realized, "Wild boar? Then this wild boar was caught by you earlier? And you also cut it with the knife? So, my brother's previous guesses were all correct!"

“I guess… I guess so!” Zheng Quan looked a little embarrassed. “It was my first time to clamp this kind of beast. I didn’t expect it to be so fierce and actually be able to break free from the clamp! Its skin is also thick. I chopped it with my knife with all my might, but I couldn’t cut its blood vessels!”

"That's amazing! You alone can force him into this state! It took the three of us a lot of effort to get rid of him!"

"Let's go! I'll take you to see the goods so we can divide the meat later!"

……

Wang Tong's talent for being outgoing was fully demonstrated.

He carried Zheng Quan on his back and rushed to the place where they were cutting up the wild boar meat.

Zheng Quan, on his side, when he arrived and looked at the wild boar with its belly ripped open on the ground, he also sighed.

Afterwards, after learning about how Fang Hongan and his team hunted the wild boar, they were even more amazed.

He looked at Fang Hongan with a look of admiration: "Your method is the best! Unlike me... I gave orders recklessly and almost lost my life!"

"Hey! Why are you saying these things again! We are all good brothers. If you find it interesting, we can do something together in the future! I guarantee you will have a blast!"

While Zheng Quan was looking at the wild boar meat, Wang Tong had already quietly asked Fang Hongan about it.

Knowing that Zheng Quan's bedridden old mother has passed away, Zheng Quan now owes a lot of debts and is in a very difficult situation.

By the way, I confirmed with Fang Hongan whether he wanted to recruit Zheng Quan.

He knew that Fang Hongan had always had a good impression of Zheng Quan.

He also didn't mind Zheng Quan's leg problem.

Moreover, the apiary is in urgent need of someone to take night duty.

From this perspective, Zheng Quan can be said to be a very suitable choice.

Wang Tong also had the intention of this.

After confirming with Fang Hongan that Fang Hongan also had the same idea, he immediately and frankly put forward this idea.

"Together?"

Hearing what Wang Tong said, Zheng Quan's eyes lit up.

However, he couldn't help feeling that Wang Tong's words were mostly polite, so he smiled and didn't want to go into details.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Wang Tong was about to continue asking questions.

Fang Hongan suddenly glanced at him and interrupted, "Heizi! Taozi! How about this... I will carry brother Zheng Quan down the mountain first and take him to Doctor Wang in a cart to check his foot first!
You guys go ahead and divide the pork according to the plan. I'll send Brother Zheng Quan off first and then come back to pick you up!"

"Okay!"

Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao nodded at the same time.

……

Immediately.

After resting for a while.

Fang Hongan carried Zheng Quan on his back again and followed the marked path down the mountain to find the hidden bucket cart.

Zheng Quan was placed in a cart and pushed towards Shanmuling Village.

They hurried all the way and finally arrived at Doctor Wang's house. Fang Hongan briefly explained the situation to the old doctor, settled Zheng Quan, and then started to return without stopping.

When Fang Hongan arrived at the foot of Gouyaling Mountain, Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao were already waiting at the foot of the mountain, at the place where the bucket carts were previously placed.

The four-legged wild boar meat was placed on a stone with a straw mat. The two men waited there, trying their best to drive away mosquitoes and ants.

After putting the wild boar meat on the cart, Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao refused to let Fang Hongan push the cart no matter what.

The two worked together and arrived at the entrance of Shanmuling village at dusk.

As soon as the cart loaded with several large slabs of pork entered the village entrance, it immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers.

There are many people hunting on Tianmang Mountain, but no one has hunted a wild boar weighing more than 200 pounds for a long time!
While the crowd was still halfway through watching, Wang Tong's father and uncle had already rushed over excitedly.

After seeing clearly, it was indeed the wild boar hunted by Fang Hongan and his two companions.

I was so excited that I joined in immediately.

Seeing this, Fang Hongan also spoke to Wang Tong and asked them to go back and process the wild boar meat and invite his uncle's family to a pig-killing banquet in the evening.

They also sent Fang Chengtao back home and asked them to invite his family over.

Fang Hongan turned around and walked towards Dr. Wang's house.

When I reached the house, I smelled the scent of herbs.

When Fang Hongan walked into the room, Zheng Quan, whose leg was wrapped in medicine, was chatting with Dr. Wang, who was over 60 years old.

When Fang Hongan arrived, he happened to hear a few words.

Judging from the meaning of those words, it seemed that they were talking about himself and Wang Tong and others digging ghost bees and raising bees.

When Fang Hongan appeared, Zheng Quan immediately changed his posture and greeted Fang Hongan with a smile.

During this period of time, he heard rumors in Xichongling Village that there was a capable person in Shanmuling Village who could dig out ghost bees and grow honey.

Because he was busy with his mother's affairs, he didn't ask much.

I didn’t know it was Fang Hongan and Wang Tong.

Just now, after hearing what Doctor Wang said, I realized that the capable people were actually Fang Hongan and his group.

Only then did he understand what Wang Tong meant when he told him to do it together when they were in the mountain before.

For a moment, my heart was moved.

But it happened so suddenly that it’s not easy to bring it up.

Just looking at Fang Hongan, I felt indescribable gratitude and respect in my heart.

Fang Hongan briefly asked about the situation and was relieved to learn that it was indeed just a sprain and there should be no fracture.

When I pulled Dr. Wang to pay, the old doctor just kept waving his hands.

It’s not that he didn’t want it, he just pulled Fang Hongan and asked him for three pounds of wine soaked with red lady wasps.

It turned out that after knowing that Fang Hongan and his team had gone to the central school to clean out two nests of red-necked hornets, the old doctor had long wanted to find Fang Hongan to buy the wine.

This time, Fang Hongan happened to be caught in the crossfire.

Fang Hongan didn't expect that the old doctor would handle it this way.

At that time, the red-blooded wasps and the beehives they collected were all sold directly in exchange for wine from Huang Guigen and Meng Jiuxiang, and then consigned.

However, Fang Hongan and his team brought back the bees that were collected on site using beehive nets and soaked in wine barrels.

The old doctor probably mentioned this because he found out that they had brought some back and did have some in stock.

As for the purpose of Dr. Wang wanting this medicinal wine, it is obvious.

The red-blooded hornet is more poisonous than the ghost wasp, and it is said that the effect of soaking it in medicinal wine is much better.

Old doctor, this should be what you take back and use to make medicinal wine.

Three pounds of Red Lady Wasp Wine costs less than five dollars.

As for the medicine that Zheng Quanfu uses, it would cost at least two dollars per application.

According to the old doctor, this application should last for seven days.

All in all, the old doctor suffered a great loss.

Fang Hongan naturally agreed to this.

He nodded, acted nicely, and invited the old doctor who was alone at home to Wang Tong's house for a wild boar meat feast.

Only then did the old doctor realize that Fang Hongan and his team had actually brought back a pig weighing more than 200 kilograms.

I readily agreed to the invitation.

As soon as the old doctor nodded, Wang Tong ran over.

As soon as he entered the door, he invited the old doctor to a wild boar feast, and then he started to carry Zheng Quan on his back and rushed home.

While on the road, a shocking piece of news was revealed.

He has already discussed with his uncle that Zheng Quan will stay at his uncle's house for a few days during this period.

Anyway, his cousin from his uncle's family happened to be away on a long trip.

As for the house, the wild boar meat had been almost cleaned up by his uncle and father.

Before he came out, many people in the village paid money to buy meat and taste it.

According to Wang Tong's estimation, at least half of them should be sold.

The rest will be marinated with salt and wine after making a wild boar feast tonight, mixed with chili powder, and put into a jar.

If made into jar meat, it can be preserved for at least one month.

When you’re ready to eat, just take it out and steam it. It’s delicious and goes well with rice.

This is a classic way to store meat in the mountains...

Zheng Quan listened to Wang Tong's talk with great interest. Although he still had some opinions on the distribution of the meat and wild boar meat, he felt that it was too much trouble for Wang Tong and that pork should not account for so much of the meat.

But Wang Tong didn't give him a chance to speak at all.

He kept talking all the way, and he was absolutely certain about the conclusion.

Zheng Quan was so grateful that he could only grit his teeth and remain silent.

It was considered as tacit agreement.

Seeing this scene, Fang Hongan couldn't help but admire Wang Tong.

It's no wonder that to deal with someone like Zheng Quan who is too polite and afraid of causing trouble for others, you really need a rough guy like Wang Tong who is very outgoing.

By the time they finished talking, they had already arrived at Wang Tong's home.

Also on this East Ridge.

Wang Yonghe, Wang Yongjiang and Fang Cuihong had all heard about Zheng Quan's situation and experiences.

It was also heard earlier that Zheng Quan first caught the wild boar with a trap, then chopped it off with a knife, and then let the three of them get away with it.

He also quite agreed with the wild boar's idea of ​​taking one of Zheng Quan's legs.

The reception was also quite enthusiastic.

The heat made Zheng Quan feel a little overwhelmed.

Wait until Zheng Quan is finished greeting.

Later, Fang Chengtao came over with his parents.

By the way, Lan Wenxiu was also brought along.

Upon learning that Fang Hongan and his team had hunted a wild boar, although Fang Chengtao had repeatedly reported this to Lan Wenxiu on the way, this time none of the three of them were injured at all.

But after seeing Fang Hongan, Lan Wenxiu couldn't help but look Fang Hongan up and down.

After confirming that her husband was indeed safe and sound, she went into the inner room and prepared to help Fang Cuihong wash rice and cook.

As soon as she entered, Fang Cuihong drove her out and pushed her directly onto a recliner beside her. She also stuffed some of her newly made pastries into her mouth and told Lan Wenxiu to just sit there and wait for her food.

Lan Wenxiu also looked helpless about this.

Seeing people coming and going at the scene, and villagers who heard the news coming to cut wild boar meat, in order to avoid causing trouble, he could only lie down and resign himself to it.

His eyes were fixed on Fang Hongan, who was cutting wild boar meat, and he happily ate the pastry in his hand.

Wild boars have thick skin.

Less fat and coarse fiber.

It also has a fishy smell.

It is not easy to prepare a wild boar feast.

When it comes to preparing this kind of game, Wang Tong's uncle Wang Yongjiang is an expert.

However, the last time I heard from Wang Tong, Fang Hongan was in Lanxi Village, and with his cooking skills, he surpassed the chef in Lanxi Village.

This time, the cooking had to be handed over to Fang Hongan, who helped out on the side.

This doesn't matter whether it's a pig-killing banquet or a wild boar banquet.

In fact, one reason is to try something new.

Secondly, we actually give priority to eating those parts that are difficult to preserve.

Therefore, there are only three or five dishes.

This is not difficult for Fang Hongan.

After demonstrating how to cut the meat, he handed the job of cutting the meat to Wang Yongjiang.

Asking Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao to light the fire and wash the pot...

Wait until everything is ready.

He swung the spatula and started to get busy.

Wild boar meat. This soup is indeed not suitable to be made with wild boar meat.

However, Fang Cuihong had already slaughtered a local chicken and was stewing it in a clay pot in the fire room.

This is a dish of wild boar meat slices fried with pepper, braised wild boar meat, and mixed fried pork offal...

Fang Hongan is also good at cooking these dishes.

By the time the last dish was served, the aroma of the meat had already made everyone present salivate.

The wine is filled, the food is full...

This wild boar feast was a joyous occasion and everyone was very satisfied.

……

The next few days.

Zheng Quan temporarily settled down at his uncle Wang Tong's house.

When Fang Hongan asked Wang Tong to give Hongniang wasp wine, he specifically weighed an extra pound.

Plus that delicious wild boar feast.

The old doctor was also very caring and came to change the medicine every day.

It saves a lot of trouble.

Zheng Quan's recovery was also quite fast.

On the fifth day, you can lightly touch the ground.

After seven days of applying the medicine, walking short distances is no longer a problem.

Because there were some urgent matters at home, Zheng Quan wanted to go back to the village.

Coincidentally, Tian Wangtong was also free, and worried that he might get into an accident, he insisted on accompanying him all the way back to Xichongling Village.

This time on the way to Xichongling, as Wang Tong confessed his experiences, he finally figured out what Zheng Quan had been going through over the past month.

It turned out that his mother, who had been bedridden for many years, was sent to the county hospital with the money Zheng Quan earned from selling Lashan products and borrowing money from everywhere.

But in the end, he couldn't survive and ended up losing both his life and his wealth.

But now Zheng Quan is not only alone, but also heavily in debt.

When Zheng Quan returned to the village, he thought that the villagers would know that he was back and many of them would come to collect debts.

Some people even come to my house to move things.

But what he didn't expect was that several neighbors who had borrowed money from him were quite polite to him.

Even his uncle, who had been very aggressive in collecting debts some time ago, came to visit him with a smile on his face.

He asked about his foot injury recovery with concern, but never mentioned repaying the money.

This change made Zheng Quan a little overwhelmed.

It's even more of a question mark on my head.

Some quiet investigation.

Zheng Quancai finally understood the reason.

It turned out that he and Fang Hongan and others had killed a wild boar together.

The news of their wild boar feast spread back to Xichongling Village after they returned to Shanmuling Village.

But the key point is that the focus of this rumor is not the wild boar.

But it was actually that Zheng Quan had a very close relationship with Fang Hongan from Shiwan Village.

Moreover, Fang Hongan planned to take Zheng Quan with him to do things.

These are the two key points that even Zheng Quan didn't know how to get out.

Everyone in Xichongling Village felt that Zheng Quan's luck was about to change.

Fang Hongan from Shiwan Village.

He is the most popular young man in the entire Dongling area recently.

Rumor has it that he dug thousands of kilograms of wild honey, raised more than a hundred beehives, and dug countless ghost bees...

Not only did people from other villages ask for help, but even the central school in the town...

With that ability, I don’t know how many people are jealous.

Take the matter of digging wild honey and keeping bees, for example.

At the beginning, some people imitated it, but after imitating it again and again, no one could imitate it well.

Like Xie Sanlaba from Shiwan Village, he brought shame to the whole Dongling.

But in fact, there are still many people in other villages who want to learn this path.

There are also several such villages in Xichongling Village.

But in the end, no one succeeded. The worst one was stung by a bee and almost had to go to the clinic.

Seeing that imitation failed, many people wanted to come to Fang Hongan and bring gifts, hoping to become his apprentices.

But without exception, Fang Hongan refused.

The reason given is that the time is not yet ripe.

But the rumor now is that Fang Hongan is willing to take Zheng Quan with him.

This made everyone look at Zheng Quan differently.

After finding out the news, Zheng Quan was a little confused, and he couldn't help but look at Wang Tong who sent him back.

As for the news that Fang Hongan wanted to drag him into the job, he never mentioned it again after Wang Tong mentioned it together.

But this rumor actually spread to their Xichongling Village.

There's something obviously weird going on here.

Seeing Zheng Quan's confused look, Wang Tong pouted and started to explain.

The news that Zheng Quan was going to follow them was indeed released by Wang Tong.

Of course, it was Fang Hongan who gave the instruction.

The purpose of releasing this news is to relieve Zheng Quan's pressure of repaying the debt.

After all, with the death of Zheng Quan's mother, the creditors, even his uncle, were eager to collect the debts.

The main reason is that these people think that it is extremely difficult for Zheng Quan, who has a leg problem, to support himself.

I want to get the debt back as soon as possible to avoid wasting the money.

But if Zheng Quan were to follow them, the situation would be completely different.

The story of digging honey and black bees has become a hot topic, especially the one not long ago when three pairs of baskets of honey were dug in one day.

The whole Dongling was in an uproar. Rumor had it that Fang Hongan and the other two had a way into the furnace and could earn hundreds of dollars a day digging honey...

If Zheng Quan were to get involved, would he still worry about not being able to earn money to pay off his debts?
At first, Wang Tong was somewhat skeptical about Fang Hongan's arrangement.

But after witnessing it with my own eyes this time, I couldn’t help but secretly exclaim in amazement.

After Wang Tong's explanation, Zheng Quan suddenly understood.

Without any hesitation, he took the initiative to talk to Wang Tong about joining.

Wang Tong was waiting for him to take the initiative to speak, and immediately talked about Zheng Quan's apiary.

I heard that you can manage a apiary and learn beekeeping skills and knowledge at the same time.

Moreover, they directly give an additional bonus salary of 30 yuan per month.

Zheng Quan agreed without much hesitation.

When Wang Tong returned to Shiwan Village, he told Zheng Quan that he agreed to come to the apiary.

Three days later.

Zheng Quan, whose foot had fully recovered, came to Shiwan Village carrying a basket of luggage.

With the death of my mother, the family is left with nothing to worry about.

Although there is another uncle in the village.

But the attitude of collecting debts this time made him see his uncle's true face clearly.

This attitude shows that he is fully prepared to make the apiary his home.

On that day, Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao were called together, and chickens and ducks were slaughtered to give Zheng Quan a welcoming banquet.

Then he was led to the apiary.

After this period of construction, the apiary has taken shape.

The renovation and expansion of the wooden house is also nearing completion.

Not to mention Zheng Quan living here, even if he married another wife, living here would not be a problem at all.

As for the beehives in the apiary, after this period of collecting and transferring bees, the number has reached 120.

According to Fang Hongan’s plan for the apiary.

Considering the environment around this apiary and the distribution of nectar-producing plants, the number of beehives in this apiary has almost reached saturation.

The next focus is not to increase the size of the bee colony.

Instead, we strengthened daily management, started to produce honey, breeding, royal jelly and beeswax...

As the three of them were obviously overwhelmed, Zheng Quan's arrival could be said to be just in time.

Two days after that.

Fang Hongan took Zheng Quan and taught him some daily management matters step by step, just like he taught Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao.

Zheng Quan has one biggest advantage because he was isolated since childhood.

That means being patient and calm...

His learning progress in this somewhat boring and repetitive task is faster than that of Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao!

After two days, I basically mastered it all.

in this way.

Fang Hongan handed the apiary over to Zheng Quan.

He led Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao to continue placing bee-luring barrels and exploring the wild honey hives.

I only go to the apiary in the evening to check on the situation.

It can be regarded as a test of Zheng Quan's work performance.

By the way, answer some questions that Zheng Quan encountered in the daily management of beehives.

And so, another five days passed.

That evening, the old branch secretary came hurriedly to the earthen house with a flashlight and a roll of newspaper.

With his arrival, an explosive piece of news spread throughout Shiwan Village.

Fang Hongan and the other three were in the newspaper!
