Rebirth in 1984, starting from beekeeping in the mountains

Chapter 72: Uncle who eats state-funded food?
After weighing, the checkout process begins.

Two hundred and sixty-five kilograms of honey, at the price of one dollar and ninety-five dollars per kilogram, Liao San had to pay five hundred and three dollars and fifty dollars.

Fang Hongan generously gave the change of three yuan and fifty cents to Liao San.

After all, the purchase price increased by ten cents.

It is equivalent to earning more than 20 yuan.

You still have to wipe out the remaining parts to show your generosity!

Next, Liao San paid the money for Fang Hongan to buy things.

Because Fang Hongan had previously instructed him to buy something worth one hundred yuan.

So Liao San only paid a hundred yuan in advance. After deducting this hundred yuan, Liao San finally paid Fang Hongan four hundred yuan.

It can be seen that Liao San had indeed not expected that Fang Hongan's family would have more than 200 kilograms of honey.

He basically emptied all his pockets to get this four hundred yuan.

All added together, they covered the entire table.

After receiving this "huge sum" of more than four hundred yuan, Fang Hongan originally wanted to keep Liao San for dinner and leave the next day.

But with more than 200 kilograms of honey loaded on the donkey cart, Liao San had no appetite for dinner.

I wish I had wings so I could fly back immediately.

Fang Hongan wanted to keep Liao San overnight, but he actually had selfish motives.

Today, when he went to the thatched house to install anti-escape plates for the beehives, he saw traces of the ghost-headed bee near the orchard on his way back.

This shows that there is a hive of black bees near the orchard!
Judging from this indication, the ghost wasps will soon discover the colony in the straw house.

In this way, making bee-proof clothing to clean the hive of black bees becomes more urgent.

It happened that Liao San came over at this time. If we could keep him for one night, we could go to the county town together tomorrow.

If you want to make bee-proof clothing that can protect against black bees, the material of the bee clothing cannot be ordinary cotton or linen.

In later generations, there were all kinds of high-tech materials. But in this era, according to Fang Hongan’s idea, it would have to be at least high-density canvas or Oxford cloth.

Although Fang Hongan knew something about the situation in the county town, he had no idea where to find these things.

But Liao San is different, as he is a cunning rascal, he must have many ways!
If he leads us, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!
However, since he was in a hurry to leave, Fang Hongan had no choice but to hold him back and told him that he was going to the county town the day after tomorrow to find a way to make bee clothes.

When Liao San heard that Fang Hongan wanted to make a bee suit that could protect against ghost bees, he was surprised and happy.

What was surprising was that Fang Hongan actually had the courage to dig out the hive of the ghost bee.

The good news is that, according to Fang Hongan, he dug out the hive of the black bee, mainly for the purpose of catching the black bees to make wine.

Things like ghost head bee wine are more valuable and rarer than honey in the black market.

In the black market of the entire Xiaonan area, as long as you have the goods, you will have no trouble selling them!
If Fang Hongan can make Guitou Bee Wine, it means that he, Liao San, will have another golden way to make money!
At that moment, Liao San immediately patted his chest!

He said that as soon as he returned today, he would help Fang Hongan find out the materials of the beehive clothes.

Afterwards, the two sides agreed on a meeting place for tomorrow.

Fang Hongan and Wang Tong took the path they took last time and sent Liao San out of the village together.

Originally, I was worried that Liao San would not be able to control the car when going down the steep slope of Jigongbo by himself.

Later, when Liao San pulled the donkey cart for demonstration, we realized that his donkey cart was equipped with a braking device for going down steep slopes, so he alone was enough to go down the mountain.

I guess this was the reason why Liao San dared to pull the donkey cart up here alone to collect the goods.

After seeing Liao San off, Fang Hongan and Wang Tong did not return to the village, but went up to Laoya Ridge without stopping.

It took about an hour in total to successfully collect three swarms of bees.

By the time the two of them had checked the boxes in the thatched house and were walking back, it was already completely dark.

The two of them walked through the orchard in the dark, and when they were about to turn back to the main road, a burst of muttering came from the main road. "Brother Wang! Have you heard that Fang Hongan's family in the village sent over 300 kilograms of rice by donkey cart today?"

"How could I not have heard of it! It's all over the place, but how come I heard it was 500 kilograms of rice?"

"Oh! The amount is not important! What's important is that I heard that this was sent by his uncle who lives in the city and works for the government! Fang Hongan has an uncle in the city, why haven't I heard about it before?"

"I don't know the details, but I heard a long time ago that Fang Hongan's mother was indeed married from the city. It's normal for her to have an uncle who eats government food!"

"Is that so? Doesn't that mean Hong An is going to make a comeback?"

"Yes! It's several hundred kilograms of rice! Who can afford this?"

"It's good to have a relative who eats the government's food!"

"Who says it's not true?"

……

He probably didn't notice Fang Hongan and Wang Tong who were blocked by the fruit trees in the orchard.

The two men became more and more excited as they talked, and when they got to the point they were most excited about, they stood there repeating the same thing over and over again for a long time before reluctantly parting.

After the two men walked away, Wang Tong turned to Fang Hongan with a confused look on his face: "Brother! This..."

"hehe!"

Fang Hongan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Earlier, when Liao San was weighing the honey, he took the initiative to tell him about his encounter with Xie Qiangbin at the village entrance.

He even told her about how he had tricked Xie Qiangbin into guessing that he was invited by Fang Hongan's uncle to deliver rice.

Fang Hongan guessed at that time that given Xie Sanlaba's character, rumors would spread throughout the village immediately.

But he never guessed that the version that circulated would be like this.

His uncle...

My uncle who lives in the county town and eats government-funded food.

In this era, the phrase "eating state grain" in Xiaonan area is the same as the phrase "eating emperor grain" in the northern area, and actually refers to people in government offices.

Fang Hongan thought about it.

To be honest, he really has such an uncle.

After all, his father and mother's marriage was also quite legendary.

His father, who had just returned from the army, brought his mother to this valley. His grandfather's family would never agree to this marriage.

For example, Fang Hongan’s father-in-law was against it at first.

Later, conflicts arose over his parents' marriage, which led to the severance of relations between their family and his grandfather's family.

In his previous life, probably around 2009, Fang Hongan heard a message from someone saying that an uncle was looking for him.

However, Fang Hongan's life was already in a mess at that time. Not only did he not respond, he also hid in another city...

Therefore, Fang Hongan had no idea how Xie Qiangbin came up with this idea.

I can only say that this guy's gossiping mind is really strong!

However, although this rumor is outrageous, from another perspective, it may not necessarily be a bad thing.

With this as a starting point, many things in the future can be pushed in this direction.

That really saves a lot of trouble...

and so……

Let these rumors fly for a while!
