Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 248 Nomination and Self-recommendation
While patting Mrs. Song on the back, Mrs. Feng turned her head and said to Li Xin, "That's right, that's what the doctor said."

Feng Zhizhi added a sentence: "It is said that this disease needs to be taken care of, and you can't eat anything spicy. My sister-in-law rarely eats..."

Feng Zhizhi was holding a bowl of warm water while talking, waiting for Feng Dehui to take it for Song Shi to use at any time.

Li Xin did know a folk remedy for asthma, so he didn't hide it, and said: "I heard that if you have asthma, you can use Chuanbei to grind it into powder, add honey three or four times the amount of Chuanbei, mix it together and steam it. When half a stick of incense is in the air, eat some every day, it can relieve cough."

Feng Dehui hurriedly raised his head and asked Li Xin, "Is what Mrs. Guan said true?"

"Why am I scaring you?" Li Xin said: "But this method is also a folk remedy. I don't remember where I heard it. I don't know if it will work." After thinking about it, he said: "There are people with such a disease. Pay attention to cleanliness at ordinary times, too much dust will make her uncomfortable, and she will cough when she is uncomfortable, and this is a vicious circle."

Feng Dehui responded while supporting Song's body, and gently patted her on the back.Li Xin also stepped forward to give her a helping hand, and asked Feng Dehui to support Song Shi to sit upright. After a long time, Song Shi blushed and spit out.

After spitting out phlegm, Mrs. Song felt much more comfortable. She drank some water, rinsed her mouth, spit it out, and then drank warm water lightly.

Mrs. Feng recited "Amitabha" and said: "It's okay, it's okay, this time it's not as hard as last time." Then she accused Song: "If you know you can't talk too much, don't talk too much. Talk too much. Doesn't it make you cough?"

Song just smiled, and apologized to Li Xin: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law Guan, I made you laugh."

Li Xin naturally waved his hands and said politely: "It's okay, your body is important."

She can't care about a patient.

After being interrupted by Song's cough, at least Li Xin could pretend not to know about the matter she mentioned just now.If the question came to her clearly, to be honest, she really didn't know how to answer it.

Feng Dehui confirmed with Li Xin again: "Sister-in-law Guan, what you said just now is that Chuanbei is ground into powder, mixed with three or four times the amount of honey and steamed for half a stick of incense, right?"

Li Xin nodded and said: "This is a folk remedy. I don't know how reliable it is, and I don't know if it will work. But honey Chuanbei and so on are good things, not hairy things, not spicy, just It’s good to eat as usual.”

Feng Dehui wrote it down seriously, then turned his head and said to Song gently: "We will follow this prescription and try it later, to see if it can relieve your cough."

Song shook her head with a sigh and said, "Don't worry about it, Chuanbei honey, it's so easy to get."

Aunt Feng frowned and said: "Honey... just now, my niece, didn't you mention that your family wants to make honey for a living?"

Li Xin said: "Yes, no one in Hehua Village or Lijia Village has this experience, so let's see if Xiahe Village has any."

"Honey is so expensive now..." Mrs. Feng said, "Last time I saw a small jar in a grocery store, and it cost four hundred dollars! It's more expensive than rice!"

Aunt Feng said generally, while making a circle of the thumb and index finger of both hands together to make a shape about the size of a bowl.

"Mother, it costs so much money." Feng Dehui sighed: "Our Yizhou is no better than the east side. We seldom produce our own honey, and they are all shipped from other places for sale. Of course, it is expensive."

Feng Defa asked suddenly: "Brother Guan, Sister Guan, do you want to make a living with honey?"

Without waiting for Guan Wen and Li Xin to answer, he stood up and said earnestly, "I know a little bit."

Guan Wen was taken aback, and Aunt Feng asked first, "Defa, what nonsense are you talking about? How do you know about bee honey... You were stung by bees when you were young, have you forgotten?"

Li Xin was also surprised: "Brother Feng understands the business of honey?"

"I know a little bit." Feng Defa patted his head and said, "When I was stung by a bee when I was a child, I felt unhappy. I destroyed a bee nest and licked the honey with one hand..."

"You idiot!" Aunt Feng couldn't help scolding: "You were stung once and it's not enough for you to ask for a second sting?"

Feng San also said: "Defa, what are you thinking, how can you go against the bees?"

Feng Defa didn't answer what his parents asked him, and only said: "Later, I became interested in bees. Sometimes I found a bee nest and secretly went to dig some honey, and the bees didn't come to sting me." Feng Defa looked at Guan Wen and Li Xin said: "Later when I grew up, I never did such a thing again, but I met an old man passing by, he was a beekeeper, because I kindly gave him a bowl He told me some knowledge about beekeeping, and I kept it in my mind."

Li Xin was surprised, what a coincidence?
Even Feng Yaya didn't believe it, and asked Feng Defa with his little finger: "Second brother, is it true?"

Feng Defa glanced at her, patted her head pityingly, nodded and said, "Really."

"Then, the second brother is going to pick some honey and come back to feed Yaya..." Feng Yaya licked his hands: "Yaya is hungry..."

Feng Defa sighed, changed his serious face and said to Guan Wen and Li Xin: "If brother Guan wants to make a living in this business, I can help..."

This is a bit of a self-recommendation.

Feng Dehui helped Mrs. Song to rest, but he never came out again.Aunt Feng looked at Guan Wen and Li Xin when she heard what her son said, and Feng San also looked at them.

It was a difficult time for the Feng family. The family was almost unable to make ends meet, and was anxiously waiting for income to come in to support their lives.The Feng family is also aware of the conditions of the Guan family. If it weren't for the girl from the Guan family who has a reputation for being fierce and courageous enough to kill people with a knife, and who is a little older, it might not be their turn for the Feng family to talk to the Guan family. Talk about love.Now the housekeeper girl is with her older brother and sister-in-law. Everyone says that Guan Wen and his wife in Hehua Village are kind people, and they must be easy to get along with.

If the Guan family can ask Feng Defa to help... Feng Defa will not be treated badly.On the other hand, maybe Feng Defa could get closer to the girl from the Guan family because of this, it would be great if he could really get married to the girl from the Guan family in the end.

Of course, these are just what Feng San and Aunt Feng are thinking in their own minds.Although Feng Defa said that he knew beekeeping and had knowledge in that area, but if things went wrong, it would be difficult to explain to the Guan family.

Besides, if he really knew, why didn't he raise bees himself to make a living out of honey?
The Feng family would not think so.

The Feng family is honest, and they don't know how to turn their heads too much. The business of making honey is what Guan Wen said, so they can't steal the business they want.And now the field is short of people to serve, in the eyes of Aunt Feng and Feng San, what is more important than food, how can it be possible to get some bees to produce honey without food?

But it was Feng Defa himself who asked to help, and Feng San and Aunt Feng couldn't refute him now.

Hearing what Feng Defa said, Li Xin was a little moved.

How should I put it, this is a process of experimentation. Few people in Yizhou understand it. Since she can't find it, she can only find it by herself. If she really finds it out, the benefits will be great.A small jar of honey the size of the bowl that Mrs. Feng was holding would cost four hundred dollars, and if she lowered it by one hundred dollars, it would still cost three hundred dollars.To say that the cost of honey is definitely not high, nectar is everywhere in spring mountain flowers, and honey is made by bees themselves from the nectar collected by bees, which is almost free of cost—except for the risk of being stung by honey.

If she agrees to Feng Defa now, and Feng Defa does his best to do things with them, and he and Guan Wen give Feng Defa a proper favor to help them through this difficult time, then the two families will communicate more and have a loyal friend.

Success is good, but failure is no big deal.Originally, it was a costless business, so Li Xin regretted it at best.

She is impulsive now, but it doesn't mean she is impulsive. She still has to consider the meaning of Feng Defa's "request".

Thinking of what Feng Defa said earlier when he said he met Axiu, Li Xin was a little suspicious. Could it be that he mentioned it to her because he wanted to get close to Axiu?

She thought so, and Guan Wen also thought the same way.

He knew that his daughter-in-law wanted to plant flowers in that land to raise bees and let the bees collect honey. Look at the rock wall over there in the cave, and help with shoveling stones or something.As much as she cared about the river beach, the daughter-in-law was staring at the river beach and the rocky ground all day long.

Now the river beach has turned into a lotus pond, and he is in charge of it, so the daughter-in-law has lost her hands, but just ask every day and go to have a look every two days.In contrast, there are more times when running towards the stone field.

It was precisely because he knew that she wanted to use the land that he was interested in her wanting to keep bees.

He was also a little disappointed that he couldn't find a beekeeper in Xiahe Village. He thought he couldn't find it this time, so he would ask again next time.Unexpectedly, now Feng Defa himself proposed to help.

If people say they want to help, of course it can't be for nothing. The Feng family is short of money, and the field is about to employ people. It's not a big deal for Feng Defa to help them if he loses the land, he must pay others.But because he knows some things about beekeeping, Guan Wen has already been a little moved like Li Xin.
However, he also had to consider, Feng Defa showed his liking for Axiu, would he take this opportunity to get close to Axiu?

The ideas of Guan Wen and Li Xin agree on this point.

Guan Wen said to Feng Defa: "If Brother Feng is willing to help, of course the two of us will be very happy."

A look of joy appeared on Feng Defa's face.

However, Guan Wen continued: "However, if Brother Feng comes to help, he will definitely live in our house. It's just that our house now..." Guan Wen counted for him: "My grandfather is here, and you and I, Mrs. Guan The couple, as well as a baby and a younger sister, the younger sister is still engaged, it is inconvenient for a strange man to live in our house..."

Feng Defa's face turned pale all of a sudden, and Li Xin guessed that what he was thinking in his heart was that the younger sister who was engaged to be married was Axiu.

After he calmed down for a while, Feng Defa regained his composure. Although his face was still pale, his eyes became more determined.

"It doesn't matter, Brother Guan. If the place is spacious, I can build a straw shed to sleep in. It's better to be closer, so I can take care of it at any time. It won't be long before I look at the sky and it will heat up, and I won't be cold. "

Guan Wen then nodded and said: "Since Brother Feng said so, then I don't have any worries. Let's go back today. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, Brother Feng, come when you are free. I will Let me help you build a grass shed first."

Feng Defa said: "Then I will trouble Brother Guan."

"No trouble." Guan Wen shook his head and said, "This is wronging you." Then he pondered: "As for the wages, it's fine if I hire a part-time worker, because I don't know if I can raise them well, so I will pay less Give me some, [-] yuan a day, and I will provide food here, do you think it is suitable?"

"It's very suitable, Brother Guan." Feng Defa calculated in his mind, thirty for a day, nine hundred for a month, nearly a thousand yuan... This is half a tael of silver. "If it's higher, I don't dare to help, I'm afraid I will lose face if it is smashed."

Guan Wendao: "It doesn't matter, your sister-in-law Guan also told me that this is something to try, no one can do it overnight, right?"

As he spoke, he avoided Guan's family and lightly rubbed Li Xin's waist.

At this moment, Li Xin was like Fu Zhixin, and immediately understood Guan Wen's intentions. He reached out and took out a silver coin from his sleeve pocket. , it means that you have one less person in your family. You take this money first, and it is regarded as a month's wages paid in advance to you. "

Feng De stared at the gleaming silver coin in his hand in a daze, and then tried to push it back after a moment of daze.

"Brother Feng, just keep it. You don't know what will happen to your family once you leave."

Guan Wen said with a smile: "This is our family's sympathy. I hope you will be more dedicated to helping us in the future. This is not for nothing, but it is just a month's wages paid in advance. "

Feng Defa was silent, as if trying to suppress something.Aunt Feng said gratefully: "My niece, what can I say...you are really kind people!"

He said that he wanted to bow to Guan Wen and Li Xin!
Li Xin hurriedly stepped forward to support Mrs. Feng, and said, "Don't be like this, Mrs. We are all juniors, this is unbearable..."

Guan Wen also gave a little support, and said, "Don't be too polite, ma'am."

Li Xin and Mrs. Feng said a few more words, and Mrs. Feng just took Li Xin's hand and kept saying that she was a good person, which made Li Xin feel a little embarrassed.Feng Zhizhi stood beside Aunt Feng quietly, while Feng Yaya looked curiously at the silver coin in Feng Defa's hand.

After Guan Wen and Li Xin bid farewell to Feng's family and left, Li Xin asked Guan Wen on the way: "You didn't make it clear to Feng Defa that the younger sister who is engaged to be married at home is Amei and not Axiu. Is it not good for him to misunderstand..."
