Rebirth in 1984, starting from beekeeping in the mountains

Chapter 129: Two people on a blind date! It's like the love of a grandfather! (Two in one)

Inside the big red brick and tile house.

After settling down.

The father-in-law took the initiative to find Fang Hongan and talked about building a apiary.

The information that Lan Jianjun and his team brought back three days ago was truly shocking.

This made Fang Hongan, the father-in-law, feel a little unbelievable.

Not only was it reported in the newspapers, but the town party secretary and deputy county chief also personally led people to inspect the case.

This is something that this old man, who is over 60 years old, dare not even think about.

Not to mention, according to Lan Jianjun, Fang Hongan still wants to build a large apiary here.

Most of the questions Lan Zhenshan asked were not beyond Fang Hongan's expectations.

I answered it patiently.

The main focus is on the apiary.

The construction of this apiary will definitely involve the issue of joint ventures.

When they were in Shiwan Village, Lan Jianjun, Lan Guihai and Yang Huaping mentioned that they must bring Fang Hongan in to form a partnership, and Fang Hongan should naturally take the lion's share.

But Fang Hongan did not agree with this plan.

Lanxi Village is separated from Shiwan Village by more than eight miles of mountain road.

In the absence of roads, traveling back and forth is quite inconvenient.

If he holds a majority stake, he will not only have to invest money, but in fact, he is often out of reach.

Besides, after all, there are quite a few people participating, and they seem to be having a lot of fun at the moment.

But if there is a conflict of interest, based on the cases I have seen in my previous life, people who sleep in the same bed will gradually develop different dreams and eventually become enemies...

Not to mention, it is not uncommon for partners to become enemies and go to court.

Having learned lessons from these things, according to Fang Hongan's idea, he can fully support the construction of the bee farm in Lanxi Village, but it would be best if he does not take shares.

And it would be best if the person who holds the majority shares is not one of Lan Jianjun, Lan Guihai and Yang Huaping.

After much thought, Fang Hongan came up with a plan.

Please ask the father-in-law to take action.

My father-in-law is the head of the bee farm and owns 40% of the shares. The remaining three, Lan Jianjun, Lan Guihai and Yang Huaping, each own 20%.

Although Lan Zhenshan is over sixty years old, he is in very good health.

Having served in the army and worked as an accountant for a production brigade in Lanxi Village, he is quite clear-headed about some things.

Most importantly, in this whole family.

The old man has the authority to say what he means.

He was able to intimidate Lan Jianjun, Lan Guihai and Yang Huaping without any suspense.

After Fang Hongan's repeated consideration, this plan has become quite mature.

This time, I took the opportunity when my father-in-law came to talk to me.

Fang Hongan also threw it out.

As expected by Fang Hongan, his father-in-law...

The first thing was shock.

Then, he waved his hands to show his disagreement.

But after Fang Hongan frankly laid out some of the key details in front of the old man.

After a while of contemplation, the old man gradually became interested.

Seeing this, Fang Hongan took the opportunity to paint a rosy picture for the old man, describing the bright future of the bee farm and flattering the old man a few words.

The old man finally accepted Fang Hongan's plan reluctantly.

This finalized the partnership.

Next comes the entire process and related details of building a apiary.

For these, Fang Hongan wrote a construction plan directly before coming to Lanxi Village.

From site selection, to contracting the mountain, to peripheral construction, facility construction, custom-made beehives, collecting bees and transferring them to beehives, to breeding...

Each step is clearly stated in detail in the planning document.

Not only that, but a lot of detailed information is also attached.

For example, the application and contract template for contracting the mountain, the drawings of the beehives, the configuration requirements of the labor force in the apiary...

There are more than ten pages of detailed information.

When Lan Zhenshan took it, his whole face was full of surprise.

When I brought him in as the person in charge of the apiary, I saw that his eyes were wide open.

My breathing became more and more rapid.

First, you sit and watch, then you sit up straight.

After watching for a while, he couldn't sit still anymore and stood up.

He was just standing still at first, but soon he was pacing and even couldn't help dancing.

This plan not only includes everything he can and cannot think of, but also everything he can think of.

More importantly, it is very easy to operate.

In the words of the elderly, it is like the food is delivered to your doorstep and you just have to open your mouth and eat.

Lan Zhenshan became more and more excited the more he looked, and it seemed as if the shadow of a apiary had emerged before his eyes.

"Okay! Hongan! This apiary! We built it!"

"Everything, just do as you want!"

"I'll call your brother and the others to tell them that everything will be under your command!"

Lan Zhenshan excitedly grabbed Fang Hongan and patted his chest to settle everything.

Afterwards, he took Fang Hongan to start implementing some of the details.

For example, Lan Jianjun and his team have basically finalized their site selection on three locations and are waiting for Fang Hongan to make the final decision.

As for making beehives, there was also a carpenter in Lanxi Village with quite good skills. He suggested to Fang Hongan that he should ask the carpenter to make the beehives.

As for the division of labor for this task, Fang Hongan's opinion was also sought.

In short, after patting his chest, the old man quickly took on the role of the head of the apiary.

After finalizing these.

The old man took the initiative to bring up the issue of joint venture.

It turned out that just when he was finalizing the details, the old man had thought of another plan.

That means he can nominally own 40% of the major shares.

He came out to intimidate the three families of Lan Jianjun, Lan Guihai and Yang Huaping.

But when it comes to dividing the money, 30% of it should be given directly to Fang Hongan.

After hearing what Lan Zhenshan said, Fang Hongan also understood what the old man meant.

It's simply that one reason he feels he owes himself is that he's also afraid that he might just walk away and do nothing.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Fang Hongan bluntly put forward his request: "Dad! Let's forget about the share division! Don't worry, I won't lose money, nor will I be a slacker!

We may not have the same shares, but we can change the model of cooperation!
I can do my best to help build the apiary and provide all the guidance and technical support for the apiary!
But as a condition of cooperation, in the next three years, all products produced by the apiary, including honey, beeswax, royal jelly, etc., must be sold uniformly through me!
Don't worry, I won't bargain for you. This price can be compared with the current purchase price of Guihaozi!
I'll be honest with you. The first reason I did this was to concentrate resources so as not to disrupt the market. The second reason was that I was going to build a processing plant to process and develop the products of these bee breeding products to increase their added value. The third reason was that everyone could make a profit, and this business could be sustainable in the long run, don't you agree?"

Fang Hongan told all this very frankly.

Then, he sat down quietly, leaving time to the old man who was lost in thought.

No more interruptions and no more explanations.

The matter has been stated clearly and straightforwardly enough. The longer the old man thinks about it, the more Fang Hongan is happy to see it happen.

In short, based on the old man's wisdom, he would have his own considerations about the things involved.

It is always better to use unpleasant words to make things clear first than to create resentment later.

It is said that family is not a place to reason.

But most of the time, the situation has reached an irreconcilable level and these are just excuses to smooth things over.

After a few minutes of silence, the old man stood up and stretched out his right hand to Fang Hongan: "Okay! Let's do as you say! Your approach is very good! I agree with it!"

"As long as you understand!" Fang Hongan smiled, stretched out his hand and held the old man's warm hand.

……

Finished talking with Fang Hongan.

Lan Zhenshan then pulled Lan Jianjun, Lan Guihai and Yang Huaping into the house.

This was obviously another long conversation.

Fang Hongan didn't want to get involved, so he took a rest and took Lan Wenxiu to the big tree in the backyard to enjoy the cool air.

As for Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao.

Once they were settled, Xue Fen, Lan Wenhui and Lan Wenjuan pulled them over to chat.

The blind date for both of them is scheduled for tomorrow morning.

Xue Fen, Lan Wenhui and Lan Wenjuan are both introducers and the bride's family members.

This can be considered as a way to get to know these two people in advance.

At first, before Fang Hongan went in to have a detailed discussion with Lan Zhenshan, Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao seemed very reserved when facing Lan Wenxiu, the eldest sister-in-law and her two sisters.

But when Fang Hongan came out.

We've completely started chatting.

Neither of them is shy. They have improved a lot in speaking after following Fang Hongan for some time. In addition, before they came out, their family members gave them many instructions and warnings.

What to say and what not to say.

I feel a little more confident.

Fang Hongan asked Lan Wenxiu for some information, and what he found out were mostly interesting stories about digging for bees.

I also listened to what Lan Wenxiu told them on the way. When she was talking about these things, she still knew how to show her strengths such as her ability to endure hardships, earn money, and be filial.

Before Fang Hongan and Lan Wenxiu went to enjoy the cool air, he looked at the expressions of Xue Fen and the others.

The smiles on their faces were enough to show that they were still very satisfied with Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao.

After resting on the two lounge chairs under the big tree for more than an hour, the door to the old man's inner room opened.

Afterwards, Lan Jianjun led Lan Guihai and Yang Huaping to find Fang Hongan.

The old man should have explained everything clearly to the three of them.

The three of them were trying hard to suppress their inner excitement.

When he saw Fang Hongan, he first expressed his gratitude excitedly, and then made his attitude clear in a decisive manner.

Then, he couldn't wait to pull Fang Hongan to talk about the site selection for the apiary.

It was probably around three or four in the afternoon, and Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao had also become idle.

Fang Hongan asked Lan Jianjun and others to take them to the three locations they had planned to visit.

According to what Lan Jianjun said before, these three places are not far from the village. Two of them are on the mountain called Shuilongling where he took them to dig honey last time.

The three of them chose the location according to what Fang Hongan had taught them before.

After looking at the three places, they are all pretty good.

However, after thinking it over, Fang Hongan led them for another walk around Shuilongling.

Finally, they chose the small barren mountain range which they called Cuduoling.

Cudouling is next to Shuilongling. Objectively speaking, the two places on Shuilongling are better than Cudouling in many aspects.

However, this Cuduoling has an advantage that the other two places do not have at all.

There are cliffs on three sides of Cuduoling, and only the side facing Shuilongling is a gentle slope.

The whole shape looks like a dustpan.

Based on the nectar-collecting radius of bees, basically all the nectar sources that the bees on Shuilongling can collect can also be collected on Cuduoling.

In a terrain like Cujiling, the construction of a apiary can greatly save costs.

As long as a fence is set up on this side of the gentle slope, it will become an independent area.

This will be easier to manage in the future.

Moreover, Cuduoling is a barren mountain at first glance. It would be simpler and more cost-effective to contract it with the village than to contract it with Shuilongling which stretches for several miles.

After explaining to Lan Jianjun and the others, the three of them all clapped their legs and cheered.

After returning home, that night, Lan Zhenshan led Lan Jianjun and several others to the home of the village party secretary of Lanxi Village.

In fact, Lan Zhenshan is also an old team leader of Lanxi Village, and he has a close relationship with this group of calligraphers.

In addition, the village party secretary has also read the "Xiaonan Daily". Since Fang Hongan's visit today, everyone in Lanxi Village has known about it, and he has heard many rumors.

Perhaps many of those rumors are indeed exaggerated.

But when the deputy county chief led a team to inspect the apiary in Shiwan Village, the village party secretary knew that it was all true.

Fang Hongan and his team came to Lanxi Village to contract the barren hills in the village to build a apiary?
That would be a huge benefit to the village with no harm at all.

Before Lan Zhenshan and his team came to visit, I heard in the afternoon that Fang Hongan and his team had already gone up the mountain to select a site.

After dinner, the village party secretary of Lanxi Village called several people from the village committee to his home for a meeting.

When Lan Zhenshan and Lan Jianjun arrived, several people were still in a meeting.

After taking a look at Lan Zhenshan's contract application, the members of the village committee agreed without any hesitation.

The two contracting contracts were also signed that evening.

Even Lan Zhenshan did not expect how smoothly the whole process would go.

Finalize the contract.

The next morning, Lan Zhenshan led Lan Jianjun and several others to Cuduoling.

Like Lan Guihai and Yang Huaping, he also called in a few helpers.

According to the plan given by Fang Hongan, we started by clearing the site and building the wooden house.

A group of more than ten laborers started the construction in full swing.

Fang Hongan, after explaining everything to Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao, also went up the mountain.

As a married man, it's not easy for him to settle for blind dates.

Wang Tong’s blind date was in Lanxi Village. Since he was a relative of Lan Guihai, Lan Wenhui had been arranging the place for the blind date.

In order to boost Wang Tong's reputation, Lan Wenxiu, as his cousin, went with him.

Fang Chengtao's selected blind date partner will go to Yangjiatang Village next to Lanxi Village.

The person in charge of the arrangements was Xue Fen, and she was accompanied by Lan Wenjuan.

After these women recognized these two men, they spared no effort in making arrangements.

The two were a little nervous at first, but after Fang Hongan reminded them that he would wait for them to come back to the mountain to dig honey and collect bees, they immediately relaxed.

The whole morning.

Fang Hongan is always on Cuduoling.

When building the wooden house, Lan Zhenshan invited all the construction masters in the village, and Fang Hongan provided ready-made blueprints.

There was no need for Fang Hongan to intervene at all, so Fang Hongan focused all his energy on teaching Lan Jianjun and others how to arrange the beehives.

All the placement points were pointed out.

I also taught them some details like direction and inclination.

We went down the mountain around noon.

Not long after I got home, Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao, who had gone on blind dates, came back one after another.

Looking at the smiles on their faces, you can tell that the situation should be quite good.

After asking.

And indeed it is.

These two pairs of blind dates were attracted to each other at first sight.

Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao were basically "lusted by beauty" after seeing the photos.

The families of these two women had previously been somewhat concerned about the large mountain valley like Shiwan Village.

But once the matter was reported in the newspaper, the obstacles were basically cleared.

According to what Lan Wenhui and Xue Fen asked, the girl's family has even directly revealed that they want to invite people from Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao's families to come and discuss the marriage.

This is also the characteristic of blind date marriages in this era.

As long as there is love at first sight, the plan is to get married quickly.

However, according to Fang Hongan's idea, at this point, he shouldn't be too hasty.

It just so happened that Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao would both stay in Lanxi Village for a while during this period, so Fang Hongan encouraged the two to take advantage of this time to spend some time together and get to know each other better.

Marriage is a serious matter and should not be taken lightly.

Smoothness is a good thing, but too much smoothness can easily lead to accidents.

At this point, the blind date is halfway done.

This was in the afternoon.

The three of them held a meeting to plan to go up the mountain to dig honey and collect bees.

Lan Jianjun and a few others came back after going to the carpenter's house to order beehives.

Also joined in.

From the time Fang Hongan left to now, they have already dug up a lot of honey.

The amount of honey stored at home has reached more than 200 kilograms.

At the beginning, Fang Hongan only took care of them for two days.

After repeated practice, I have basically mastered the art of luring bees to collect honey.

But when it comes to looking for bees in the mountains, it's all about luck.

After digging out all the bees on Shuilong Ridge, we basically searched the remaining hills in a carpet-like manner and spread bee-luring water to lure them.

Naturally, this efficiency is not very high.

However, it also eliminates some incorrect options.

A few people made a plan and, based on what Fang Hongan and his team had observed when they arrived, they quickly decided on the hill they wanted to go to.

Then, we were divided into groups again.

Fang Hongan and his three companions, plus Lan Jianjun and his three companions.

The entire team consists of six people. If they go to the same hill together, the efficiency would be too low.

Fang Hongan waved his hand and divided them into two groups.

He led Lan Jianjun and Yang Huaping in a group, while Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao led Lan Guihai in another group.

After finishing this group, old man Lan Zhenshan returned from Cuduoling.

When he heard that Fang Hongan and his friends were going up the mountain to dig honey starting tomorrow, he blinked his eyes and became interested.

However, he hasn't spoken yet.

Lan Jianjun, the good son, reminded his grandfather that as the person in charge of the apiary, he still needed to keep an eye on the construction of the apiary.

He forcibly suppressed the thoughts that were rising in the old man's heart.

In the end, after being beaten by Lan Zhenshan, he shut his mouth in disappointment.

Lan Zhenshan just reminded them to be careful when going up the mountain, and then began to arrange for Xue Fen and the others to cook.

The main frame of the wooden house of this apiary is almost completed, and there are more than ten people helping to work on it inside and outside.

Although most of them are relatives from the three families, the labor cost is not much, but the food still needs to be provided well.

Because we had to arrange a blind date for Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao this morning, the lunch was a bit simple. The old man felt sorry for the people who worked there, so he had to prepare some hearty dishes for dinner and invite the people from the ridge back to have a good meal.

In fact, there was no need to wait for the old man to make any arrangements. Fang Hongan's mother-in-law, Luo Dong, had already arranged for Xue Fen and others to kill chickens and ducks early in the morning.

When it was almost time to prepare dinner, Fang Hongan had nothing to do, so he went over to help.

When this skill was demonstrated once again, those who came back from work were said to be eating dishes prepared by Fang Hongan.

Then I became more motivated to eat.

They swallowed the food in big mouthfuls and ate with great relish.

This scene fell into Lan Zhenshan's eyes.

It is an honor to be the head of the family.

That evening, the group was going to go to the river to take a bath and pick some river clams.

Hearing that Fang Hongan caught more than ten pounds of river clams and a catfish weighing more than ten pounds at one time, Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao couldn't help but be eager to try.

Wang Tong, in particular, was ready to show off his skills.

However, Fang Hongan held the two men down.

You just had a blind date, why don't you strike while the iron is hot and ask the blind date out for a walk in the evening and come and play with them to pick clams?

What a stupid person.

After some pointers, the two suddenly realized what was going on. They quickly packed up and, at Lan Wenxiu's suggestion, went to find Xue Fen and Lan Wenhui.

We didn't make an appointment beforehand, and now that I want to make one, I need to find someone to introduce me to make the contact.

Fang Hongan and his group of four, together with his two cousins ​​Lan Jianjun and Lan Guihai who came to help, came to Lanxi again, found a section of the river where they often caught clams, and went into the water.

This time, Fang Hongan once again conquered everyone with his unrivaled performance.

……

The next day.

After having breakfast early, two bee-digging teams went up the mountain.

A team of three carried two pairs of baskets and a bamboo basket up the mountain.

I brought a water bottle and prepared lunch.

I was prepared to work hard in the mountains for another day and come down in the evening.

Let Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao's team go to the mountains on the other side of the road coming from Shiwan Village.

Fang Hongan led Lan Jianjun and Yang Huaping in another direction.

We followed the winding path up the mountain and asked Lan Jianjun about the mountains that his team had previously dug.

After ruling out these options, Fang Hongan looked towards the mountains and walked for nearly half an hour before he reached a mountain.

It is a large mountain range, not very steep, and is mainly covered with miscellaneous trees, the most common of which is the yellow broom that can be seen everywhere.

This small tree, which cannot be sawn into boards for thousands of years or used to build bridges for tens of thousands of years, can be found everywhere in the entire Xiaonan area. It was once a nightmare for many people when they were children.

after all……

A filial son is born under the stick, and a good man is born under the broom!
Anyone who grew up in the mountains, has probably been beaten with a yellow broom stick when he was a kid!

The yellow broom on this ridge is the most lush and abundant among all the mountains Fang Hongan has seen.

Although there are not large forests, there is a cluster every few meters.

That's why Lan Jianjun said that this mountain is called Huangjingling.

June is the season when the yellow broom blooms.

Although the flowers of this small tree are inconspicuous, what is not well known is that the yellow broom is a nectar-producing plant with a strong nectar flow.

These mountains of yellow broom are undoubtedly a natural treasure trove of food for bees.

Lan Jianjun immediately realized something when Fang Hongan pointed his gaze at the yellow broom on the mountain. He quickly asked, "Hongan! Is there nectar from this yellow broom that can be collected?"

in their cognition.

Nectar is only available from flowers like rapeseed, locust, and Chinese tallow.

This yellow broom, which can be seen everywhere and whose flowers are inconspicuous, is precisely what they ignore.

"some!"

Fang Hongan nodded and pointed to a route: "Let's go up from this side! After we go up, we will go to that area to lure bees. As for the honey water, big brother will spread it. The bee chasing route is also very big brother's!"

Second brother-in-law, this time we will listen to our eldest brother's arrangements and instructions! When the situation gets crowded, you will be the main force and arrange for me and my eldest brother!"

"what!"

Lan Jianjun and Yang Huaping exclaimed at the same time.

He looked at Fang Hongan in surprise, and a hint of nervousness appeared on his face.

If Fang Hongan was not present, they would make the decision.

But if they were asked to take charge when Fang Hongan, the expert "master" is here, wouldn't that be showing off one's skills in front of an expert?

This makes them feel very stressed.

"That's fine!" Fang Hongan said in a comforting tone, "Just do it boldly. If there are any mistakes, you can summarize them after you're done!"

After saying that, he shook his hands and said seriously: "You have been digging for so long, it's time for me to see your real ability. I will go back this time, and I don't know when I will come back next time. Although Dad is the major shareholder of this bee farm, it is really supported by you!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Hongan turned out to be testing their abilities so that he could give them better guidance in the next few days.

Lan Jianjun and Yang Huaping both nodded immediately, clenched their fists, and their expressions became determined.

Just like Fang Hongan said, they have been digging bees for nearly half a month, and it is time for them to show some real skills.

"Okay! I'll do it! Let's go!"

Lan Jianjun waved his hand for a moment, then led Fang Hongan and Lan Jianjun towards the mountain along the route Fang Hongan pointed out.

When they arrived at the area Fang Hongan mentioned, Lan Jianjun moved his eyes around, searched in the large area, and finally chose a place where thatch grew.

Then, his eyes unconsciously fell on Fang Hongan.

This action was obviously to seek Fang Hongan's opinion.

However, upon closer inspection, I discovered that Fang Hongan had already half-closed his eyes, leaning against a stone, with an attitude of complete indifference.

Yang Huaping on the side spread his hands towards him, looking helpless.

Lan Jianjun immediately realized that Fang Hongan was testing him.

Thought for a moment.

Finally, the bottle of bee-attracting water was taken out.

Carefully and evenly sprinkle it on the thatch.

Then he took a deep breath and sat back where Fang Hongan and Yang Huaping were sitting. He stared at the place where the bee-attracting water was sprinkled, and waited anxiously and nervously.

I don't know why, but I was obviously facing my brother-in-law, and the test was not formal at all.

But it was actually more stressful than when I was a kid, facing that strict teacher who would hit my hands with a stick if I made mistakes during exams.

Time passes little by little.

I waited and waited, but the expected bee shadow still didn't appear.

Not only Lan Jianjun was a little nervous, but Yang Huaping beside him also became nervous.

Take a bee-luring spot for example. Although it was An Jianjun who spread the bee-luring water, after much thought, Yang Huaping also felt that the place chosen by his elder brother Lan Jianjun was the best choice for the entire area.

If he were asked to choose, he would choose that area without hesitation.

If Lan Jianjun fails to lure the bees, that means his decision was wrong.

For a moment, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Yang Huaping was sweating, and Lan Jianjun was even more so.

Seeing that several minutes had passed, he couldn't help but take out the bottle of honey water, look around, and continue searching.

This area was pointed out by Fang Hongan.

In Lan Jianjun's opinion, that should be able to attract bees.

Since the previous choice was wrong, shouldn’t we change places?
Lan Jianjun turned his head and searched everywhere. Just when he was confused, Yang Huaping suddenly pointed in the direction where the bee-attracting water was sprinkled, and a joyful voice rang out: "Here they come! Bees!"

"hiss!"

Lan Jianjun heard the most beautiful words and immediately turned around to look over.

Then, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Just above the thatch, you can clearly see a few bees circling and flying downwards.

And behind them, there was a faint black shadow flying towards them.

This scene was undoubtedly the most wonderful scene for Lan Jianjun.

He stood up suddenly and couldn't help but wave his fist.

Then, I began to wait patiently.

He knew very well that finding the bee path was a very crucial step, but also the one that was easiest to be careless about.

If you don't do it properly, even if you attract the bees, it will most likely be a waste of time.

Normally he might be used to cutting the Gordian knot and pursuing speed, but this time Fang Hongan was the one who wanted to think more carefully, and what he wanted was stability.

We waited and waited until large numbers of bees began to fly back, and the bee trail in the sky became quite clear.

He then waved his hand and said to Fang Hongan: "Hongan! Let's go!"

"coming!"

Fang Hongan opened his eyes and jumped up.

Following Lan Jianjun, the bamboo and the bee path went up the mountain.

After turning left and right for several minutes, we finally found the place where the large number of bees fell.

But then the problem arises.

Although they could see where the bees were falling in large numbers, there was a pile of rocks that they could not cross before they could track them to where they stopped.

After the three of them circled around the pile of rocks and came to the bee-infested area, they discovered that behind the lush trees was actually a large depression.

In other words, the bees returning to the nest seemed to have landed behind the lush trees.

But in fact... it is entirely possible that it fell anywhere in this depression.

"..."

Lan Jianjun was stunned for a long time.

Then they looked up in panic, but found that while they were taking a detour, not only had the largest swarm of returning bees fallen into the nest, but even the "tail roots" behind them had disappeared.

"This……"

Lan Jianjun wiped the sweat from his forehead in panic.

He couldn't help but look at Fang Hongan again, seeking help.

But Fang Hongan seemed to have noticed nothing. He just stood aside, waiting for Lan Jianjun's arrangements.

"call!"

Lan Jianjun heaved a sigh of relief and was helpless. He muttered, "It's in this spoon field anyway. I'll find it no matter how hard I try!"

At this point, we have to go ahead even if we have to bite the bullet.

After saying that, he jumped down and started looking for it directly.

Seeing this, Yang Huaping followed and started searching together.

After the two of them had been searching for nearly five minutes, Lan Jianjun finally raised his sweaty head and excitedly waved his hand towards Fang Hongan: "Found it! It's right here... Come quickly!"

After he said this, Yang Huaping breathed a sigh of relief and ran over immediately.

Seeing this, Fang Hongan also followed.

When we got closer, we followed Lan Jianjun's pointing and saw a crevice with several bees coming in and out.

It should be the noise made by Lan Jianjun when he was looking for the beehive that startled the bees in the hive. The number of bees pouring out of the stone bees was obviously increasing.

Obviously, this is the beehive we are looking for.

"Hongan! How do we divide the work next?"

After heaving a sigh of relief again, Lan Jianjun couldn't help but ask Fang Hongan in a consulting tone.

But unexpectedly, Fang Hongan simply spread his hands.

"Brother!" Yang Huaping on the side quickly reminded, "Hongan said! You are the one who will arrange this swarm. Hongan and I will follow your instructions!"

"Uh...oh!"

Only then did Lan Jianjun react.

He scratched his forehead and thought for a long time before he slowly said, "Let's dig bees together. Huaping, go get the cigarette holders and you can smoke the bees later! Oh...you can harvest the honey too!"
As for Hongan, you...just prepare a bamboo basket first, and then...help me pry the rocks first, and then...prepare the plastic bags and pack them!"

Perhaps it was because the previous two processes were not smooth, which put Lan Jianjun under great pressure. When making this arrangement, Lan Jianjun not only spoke slowly but also very cautiously.

After saying this, he muttered and pondered over it again, then nodded and confirmed, "That's it!"

After saying that, he put on a bee-proof hat, picked up the sickle beside him, and started working in a hurry.

First, he cut the thatch around the cracks in the rocks. After cleaning one area, Lan Jianjun picked up a hoe and started digging from the mud on the cracks in the rocks.

After prying open a few pieces of rubble, he picked up the crowbar and, together with Yang Huaping, pried open the stone at the bottom of the crevice.

Once the stone was opened, more than half of the entire beehive was exposed.

It is not big, but there are 7 honeycombs. Look at the degree of coverage of the honeycomb area.

This is what seven or eight kilograms of honey looks like.

However, this was enough to make Lan Jianjun excited.

"Hua Ping! Xun Yan!"

With a shout, Yang Huaping on the side took out a cigarette and started smoking.

As he was being annoyed, Lan Jianjun also learned his lesson and simply took out a watch from his pocket and started looking at the time.

This lasted for about 8 minutes before he waved to Yang Huaping again: "Alright! Let's harvest the honey!"

Yang Huaping immediately took out a dagger and lay down.

The subsequent honey harvesting process was quite smooth.

Wait until the honey pieces are put into the bags.

Seeing that there were only two honeycombs left in the hive, Lan Jianjun immediately called a halt.

Then he called Fang Hongan and Yang Huaping and filled the stone of the beehive back into the ground.

After thinking about everything that happened last night, he clapped his hands, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and looked at Fang Hongan with a little uneasiness: "Hongan! Are you done?"

"Let's talk over there first!" Fang Hongan pointed to a shady place on the side.

"Oh!"

Hearing this, Lan Jianjun knew that Fang Hongan was going to summarize his problems and give him guidance.

This made me feel both excited and nervous.

After they sat down, Fang Hongan raised his eyes slightly, looked over, and said directly: "Brother! Tell me first, what do you think needs to be improved in the process of digging out this nest of bees!"

"This one……"

Lan Jianjun suddenly became a little embarrassed and nervous, but looking at Fang Hongan's calm eyes, he couldn't help but calm down quickly. After thinking carefully for a while, he said leisurely: "When I was looking for the bee path, I waited too long! I thought that if I waited longer, the bee path would be clearer and easier to find! But I didn't expect it to be like that later!

If anything, the division of labor...is...still a bit messy!
Oh! By the way... I was a little impatient when digging the beehive..."

Lan Jianjun looked sincere and thought carefully before summarizing it.

Then he looked at Fang Hongan with some uneasiness.

Facing his gaze, Fang Hongan did not play any empty tricks and said directly: "Let me tell you! It may not be complete, there are some unexpected things, I will continue when I think of it next!

First of all, the choice of the bee-attracting point is still not quite right. Although that piece of thatch faces the wind, the thatch on the windward side grows better than that on this side. In fact, it blocks the wind and is not conducive to attracting bees. It would be better to spread it in the front piece!

The time for chasing the bee road was not just a little slow, it was extremely slow...

Speaking of division of labor, the problem did not arise when we started digging bees, it was a big problem from the beginning...

……

There are also problems when harvesting honey...

The backfilling method was also rough in the past..."

……

Fang Hongan talked about them one by one.

In just a few minutes, more than ten items were mentioned.

The key is that each of these issues is not just about pointing out the problems.

The correct method is also explained.

At the beginning, Lan Jianjun felt a little ashamed and embarrassed.

But soon, I was immersed in it.

Judging from Fang Hongan's calm and patient tone, every word he said could be regarded as earnest teaching.

Many problems that Lan Jianjun had previously overlooked were completely made clear to him after Fang Hongan explained this.

And Fang Hongan's patient teaching attitude.

Lan Jianjun couldn't help but recall what Wang Tong said when he talked about Fang Hongan teaching them last time he went to Shiwan Village.

This is sometimes done with Fang Hongan.

Sometimes I feel like I can feel the love and care from my grandparents.

This current experience...

Lan Jianjun couldn't help but feel deeply loved.

With doubts, Lan Jianjun couldn't help but look at Yang Huaping on the side.

The latter seemed to understand his thoughts instantly.

Also nodded.

A gesture of approval...
