Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 205 Planting Flowers and Beekeeping
Guan Wen was a little embarrassed by Li Xin's laughter, so he gave her a sly smile and pushed her away, "Stop laughing, I will always take a detour when I meet this person in town."

"Hey, why?" Li Xin asked curiously, "You were in town...that is to say, you met him when you were walking the darts?"

"He lives in the town, and it's very common to meet him, but his family is still in the village, and he will come back every once in a while."

"Then why are you hiding from him?"

Guan Wen twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "Every time I meet him, he will tell me a lot of words, so to speak, I can't understand it, and I can't talk to him, and I have to look at him with a gloomy face. Uncertain face..."

Guan Wen paused for a moment, then sighed helplessly: "Unfortunately, if I said that I had something to do and left, he would not be happy, thinking that I would slander him, and would stab me a few words..."

Li Xin smiled and said: "That's also the sin you made since childhood."

"Yes, yes, I made a bad mouth."

Guan Wen nodded helplessly, embraced Li Xin and said, "Xin'er, let's get down to business. I came to discuss with you how to manage the rocky land."

Li Xin glanced at him and said, "Didn't you have an idea on your own? Breaking it into stone slabs to pave the way will make the village more convenient in the future. This is a good thing to benefit the villagers."

"I can't do it by myself." Guan Wen grabbed Li Xin's hand and patted it up and down, pouring out his bitterness to her: "I figured it out, and I'm afraid it won't take half a year to finish this piece of rock. It can’t be finished, it’s easy to have more people, but our family can’t invite so many men from the village to do things. Although there is soil under the rock, there is nothing to grow, except flowers and grass growing inside. of……"

"Wait, what did you say?"

Li Xin suddenly grabbed something, interrupted Guan Wen, and tilted his head slightly: "What did you just say?"

"What did you say?" Guan Wen was a little puzzled: "It is said that there is soil under the stone."

"No, no, the next sentence—"

"The next sentence..." Guan Wen pondered: "It is said that only flowers and grass grow in the soil."

"That's right, that's it!"

Li Xin jumped up from the bed excitedly, and spun around several times, until Guan Wen was dizzy.

Guan Wen stretched out his hand and pulled her back, "What's wrong with you? So happy to hear something?"

Li Xin laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, put his hand on Guan Wen's shoulder and said, "Ah Wen, it's winter now, isn't spring coming soon?"

Guan Wen looked at her strangely: "Of course, after winter comes spring, and there are still two or three months. It was fine just now, what's wrong with you..."

Li Xin just laughed and grinned. Seeing Guan Wen enjoying himself for a while, he said, "Ah Wen, I thought of a way to make money."

"What way?"

"Look."

Li Xin reached out and took out paper and charcoal pencils from the bedside cabinet, and excitedly ran to the table and sat next to the stool.Guan Wen followed in confusion, only to see that Li Xin had drawn a circular circle on the paper, and there was an opening on the lower left side of the circle.

Li Xin motioned Guan Wen to sit down, showed him the paper, and said, "Take a look, does this look like that piece of rock?" Pointing to the gap, Li Xin said, "This is the entrance to the cave."

Guan Wen nodded, waiting for Li Xin to continue.

"This piece of land is all rocky, but there is soil underneath, and you can grow things, but it's covered by rocks, isn't it?"

Guan Wen continued to nod.

Li Xin marked out an area at the gap, which only occupied less than one-tenth of the rocky ground, and asked, "Does it take a long time to open here?"

Guan Wen calculated carefully, and said: "It should not be much. After clearing out the rocks, the remaining land will take about a month. If only the rocks are removed."

"That's just right!" Li Xin clapped her hands on the table with a smile on her face.

Guan Wen looked at her and felt happy when she smiled, but he still didn't know how to make money, so he felt a little itchy, and hurriedly urged, "Tell me quickly, what do you think of?"

"Grow flowers."

"Grow flowers?"

Guan Wen was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "I thought you were thinking of something. What kind of way to make money is planting flowers? When spring comes, there will be mountain flowers all over the mountains and plains. You don't need to plant them."

Li Xin smiled and said, "I'm not talking about just planting flowers."

"What's that? Open it up to grow vegetables?" Guan Wen rubbed Li Xin's head amusedly and said, "Daughter-in-law, why do you look far away? Isn't there an open space next to the bamboo grove? Make a bigger one. You can grow whatever you like, and it is convenient to be next to the chicken shed, and the chickens can catch insects if you put them in."

Li Xin pursed her lips and said, "This is also a good idea. But when I say planting flowers, I don't mean planting flowers in the simple sense."

As he spoke, he whispered a few words into Guan Wen's ear.

"What?" Guan Wen said in surprise, "You're joking!"

"Who's joking with you?" Li Xin said displeased, "I'm telling you seriously that our family will earn money in the future."

"But……"

Guan Wen patted his thigh and said in a low voice: "Although there are many bees in the village, no one has tried to raise them. Bees sting people, and no one wants to mess with them."

Li Xin raised his eyebrows, Guan Wen continued: "Although honey is precious and valuable, it is not an easy thing to serve. Risking the risk of being stung to earn money that hangs your life—" Guan Wen just Shaking his head, he couldn't even say it was feasible.

Li Xin has made up his mind.

Yes, she thought of beekeeping.

When spring comes, mountain flowers bloom everywhere. If the bee barrels are left to allow the bees to collect honey, how much honey can be harvested in one spring and summer?She doesn't know much about beekeeping, and she doesn't have the slightest impression of the body itself. Compared with Hehua Village, the terrain of Lijia Village is flatter, there are no hills, and naturally she has never raised bees.But Lotus Village has unique conditions, if it is not used, it will be called a waste, and it would be a pity for her to see the gold in front of her go to waste.

"Ah Wen, it's too arbitrary for you to say it's impossible without trying it." Li Xin said, "When picking honey, as long as you wrap your whole body well, the bees won't be able to sting you. But it's a good thing, you also said that it is expensive, if it can really make a big profit, then our family..."

"You've been thinking about how to make money all this time, and what you say is better than what you sing." Guan Wen looked at her amusedly and said, "I said earlier that I wanted to use this cave for something, but I couldn't remember it for a while, but I will see you later." Looking at the river beach, and said that the river beach will be opened to store water to raise fish and grow lotus, and now I have a whim to raise bees...I said, Xiner, are you busy with these things alone?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand worriedly to test the temperature on Li Xin's forehead: "It's not burning yet, but suddenly I want to make money and I'm in a daze."

Li Xin was slightly taken aback.

Was she really dazed?Even she herself doubted that she was bouncing around during this period of time, so why did so many thoughts pop out all at once?What Taoist Wang said should be true. The hilltop of their family is a prosperous place, and they can find business opportunities to make a fortune after all.

It’s just that everything needs to be operated at a cost. Without a foundation, the built building will be crumbling.
Why is she in such a hurry now?

An image of a person flashed in Li Xin's mind, too fast for her to see clearly.

Guan Wen squeezed her hand, and Li Xin came back to his senses and said, "Well... what's wrong?"

"I blame you?" Guan Wen sighed lightly, and said, "Xin'er, it's good to have an idea, but you have to consider the specific situation. We don't have any experience in beekeeping, so it's too early to say that."

Li Xin hurriedly asked: "Then do you know anyone who has experience?"

Guan Wen shook his head and said, "If I knew, I would have told you just now."

As he spoke, he comforted Li Xin and said, "Xin'er, things have to be done step by step, don't worry."

"But... spring and summer, it's coming soon, and it must be completed before this time."

Li Xin sighed, "Awen, I think this is a good idea. Really, if it is done, it will be the first share. Do you know how big the profit here is?"

Guan Wen was silent, Li Xin said: "You have to clean up the stones anyway, why don't you help me clean up this one first, okay?"

Li Xin looked at Guan Wen expectantly. She is a woman, and she doesn't have the strength to swing an ax or move a stone, so she can only turn to Guan Wen for help.

Seeing his daughter-in-law looking at him like this, Guan Wen's heart softened by half.Thinking about what my daughter-in-law said made sense, he was going to clean up the rocks, so he would just start cleaning from the entrance of the cave as she said.

Immediately Guan Wen agreed, and Li Xin took the initiative to kiss him on the cheek with a smile. He was so happy that Guan Wen went straight to Li Xin and kissed him a few more times, which made Li Xin regret it.

After Guan Wu had a big fight with Guan Ming on the [-]th day, he packed his things and went to Guan Wen's new house to sleep, and slept next to the old juncture in the old junguan room.I also told Li Xin about the meal, and he will give the money to eat with them.Of course Guan Wen didn't want his money, saying that the brothers didn't care about these few meals, but Guan Wu insisted, and Guan Wen didn't accept the money, so Guan Wu stuffed it into Li Xin's hands.

Naturally, Li Xin didn't want to argue with his uncle, so he could only accept it blankly, but he was thinking in his heart, with Guan Wu's dull temper, he probably wouldn't have thought of this at all.

Li Xin is very optimistic about the pair of Guan Wu and Xing'er. They can complement each other, and they are both interested in each other. This is a good marriage.

On the other hand, Guan Quan and Hu Yueying are a pair... Li Xin feels more and more that their life will not be very good in the future-if it is true that the three copper coins imply auspiciousness, Guan Quan will get rich in the coming year. , It’s really hard to say.

But Guan Wu's house was finally going to be built. Guan Wu felt that Guan Wen's house was built well, so he asked people from the Gu family to help build the house again.We are all acquaintances, and this is the second business, so the salary will naturally not be too big.

I don't know if it's because of living in Li Xin's "prosperous land", Guan Wu's luck really improved. The foreman who had disappeared before appeared, not only paid back all the wages owed, but also subsidized each person with [-] yuan. Money, said it was "reputation", named his surname and said that his master was named An in the town, and he was a kind person.

Guan Wu didn't care about other things when he got the money, but Li Xin felt that the foreman deliberately pointed out the name of Master An, which was a bit deliberate.
