Tong Xiu frowned and took a sip of honey water, even after eating a simple but hearty lunch, the weird, bitter and astringent taste seemed to still linger in his mouth for a long time.

"Uncle Zhang, after I go down the mountain, I will send some daily necessities up. In the future, your salary will be increased by 100 yuan on the current basis. Please pay attention to who else is going to work on the bee farm. I will personally lighten your burden." Qin Heyi said to Lao Zhang: "When the workers have removed all the honey, we will leave too. In a few days, someone who repairs the road should come over and contact you when the time comes. Our honey is good, as long as we have convenient transportation and a good brand, it is easy to make a profit.”

Old Zhang, who was still immersed in the excitement, blushed with excitement, and nodded repeatedly when he heard what Qin Heyi said, "I will pay attention to the good ones, and I will definitely find some skilled, hardworking and down-to-earth people for the bee farm."

"Then trouble Uncle Zhang, you call me every time before shaking the honey, and I will send someone to bring the honey down the mountain."

"Okay, okay."

The workers were uniformly dressed in blue overalls. Qin Heyi came within half an hour after making a phone call. They were strong and strong, and each of them carried two barrels of honey without any embarrassment.

After waving goodbye to Uncle Zhang and going down the mountain, Qin Heyi asked the workers to stop halfway and put all the honey on the flat ground.With a light squeeze in his hands, a gust of wind passed by, and the blue paper figures slowly fell to the ground where the workers were standing. Tong Xiu stepped forward to pick them up, stacked them neatly one by one, and held them in his hand. He flicked it up, "The spell is easy to use, and it saves a lot of money for the workers."

"It's a pity that we need to operate it ourselves. We can't come here every time we shake the honey. It's too troublesome."

"That's right." Tong Xiu patted the knee-high honey bucket. Although it wasn't high, the bucket was fat and fat, and it took a lot of effort. "What should I do with so much honey? It's cold, so there's still not much left." Yes, I heard from Uncle Zhang that there will be a lot of royal jelly, beeswax, pollen and so on after the beginning of spring, and they can’t all be stored in the jade box. How long will we have to eat?”

"Selling honey in Litang is not enough. I was thinking of recruiting one or two workers for Litang, but the work in Litang is not stable at present, and the guests they receive are quite special. It is not suitable for ordinary people to come here. Selling honey It's different." Putting all the honey into the storage bracelet, Qin Heyi said so.

"Well, it makes sense, but it feels uncomfortable to let strangers into the house, and we'll talk about it later."

When he got home, Tong Xiu received a call. It turned out that his parents had come back. He was supposed to travel to celebrate the New Year, but he went to some places of interest and historical sites. There are people or people. The inaccessible places with beautiful scenery are not very convenient for life, which is a disappointment. And return, decided to wait for the Chinese New Year to go abroad for a walk.

Knowing that Tong Xiu's parents were coming, Qin Heyi cooked a sumptuous dinner, specially used the honey brought from the bee farm, and cooked several delicious dishes, one of which was sweet and sour pork ribs made with honey instead of sugar. like.

"We went to the bee farm that Lao Qin won at the food exchange meeting today. The honey there is really good, but we can't sell it."

Seeing that his wife liked to eat pork ribs, Tong Qi picked another piece for her, "What about the bee farm now? It's a pity that it's closed, but it will take a lot of effort to run it."

"I'm going to hire a few employees to sell honey in Litang, which can be regarded as attracting popularity for Litang."

Tong Qi nodded thoughtfully.

After eating and clearing the table, Qin Heyi soaked in honey water and went out with Tong Xiu who was carrying fruit, when he heard Tong Qi and Bai Jingrou talking about some interesting things they saw and heard during their travels.

"During the time in Wuxing, I was the most uncomfortable. I couldn't eat well and play well, so don't go there in the future." Bai Jingrou mentioned a place and complained.

"Mom, are you talking about the Five Elements in City C?"

"That's right, that's over there." Bai Jingrou nodded, picked up the fruit plate from Tong Xiu's tray and put it on the table, she said: "Just now it seems that the place Xiao Qin is going to is over there, right? "

"That's right over there. There's a martial arts family there, and there's a nationally-renowned cooking school." Qin Heyi took a glass and poured honey water. The honey brought from the bee farm is also good for simply soaking in water. The color of the water is slightly Yellowing does not destroy the nutritional value of honey. He did not soak it in boiling water, but took warm water. In order to increase the taste, he also put a slice of lemon in it, which is sour and sweet. It is very good to relieve greasy after meals.

Tong Qi took the honey water from Qin Heyi's hand and took a sip, "Just drinking it like this, it tastes really good. When your mother and I were in Wuxing, we couldn't find such a delicious drink. There is a famous drink in the country. There should be a lot of delicious food in the culinary school, we read it on the Internet, and the taste of a bound hoof there is very good, it is because of the bound hoof that I went to Wuxing."

"But when I got there, I realized that there are very few pedestrians on the street, and there are only one or two restaurants on the street, and the taste is very bad." Bai Jingrou followed her husband's words and continued: "The five elements are very depressed. There are not nine empty rooms in ten rooms, and four or five are empty. Well, they probably all went out to work. We also went to the vegetable market, and there was a stall selling rats, big rats."

"Could it be a bamboo rat or something? I caught it on the back mountain, and it tastes pretty good."

"No, that kind of mouse is very thin and long, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. The hair on its body is thick, hard and greasy. It looks like it has no appetite, but many people buy it. They say that it is very delicious after peeling the skin and braised in soy sauce. Put a few peppers together. Stir-fried, it can be fragrant in the house for a day, and I don’t know if it’s true. I wanted to try it, but your mother said it was too ugly, and it smelled strange after killing it, so I didn’t eat it.” It’s rare to see another local specialty food, but I didn’t eat it because it was too ugly. It’s a pity to think about it after I came back. "But to be honest, it's really ugly. It's like a gray-haired mouse in the sewer. It doesn't make a loud noise when it kills it. The color of the blood is also dark, and it emits a strong fishy smell."

Tong Xiu silently put the bananas on the plate, the fruit in his hand was a bit too much to eat, why did he feel so disgusted after eating a big mouse.

Qin Heyi frowned deeply, "Maybe it's the customs of different places. Some places eat mice, ordinary gray mice, but I haven't heard that ordinary gray haired mice are so big, unless they are radiated."

"It's not that they still take hormones, maybe there are different breeding methods."

Tong Qi and Qin Heyi also had an in-depth discussion on how to breed mice. As long as the scale and industrial chain are formed, it will not be a problem to sell them all over the country, just like crayfish. How many crayfish die on the dining table a year? The premise is that people in other places can accept the big rats of the five elements like crayfish...

Tong Xiu made a disgusted expression and stuck out his tongue, "Stop talking, I feel so sick, I'm going to spit out my dinner."

"Haha, children are from every family, and they see more of the world. There are some documentaries that are still shown. In some places abroad, they eat fried rats. They tangle the tails of the rats and hold them up on the road to sell them. People who eat them There are quite a lot, I remember that in the documentary, it seems that they are dipped in the local sweet and spicy sauce when eating, and it looks delicious when they eat."

"...Dad, don't talk about it." Tong Xiu really convinced his father, he was full of curiosity about everything, even wanted to know more about some weird food, and had the courage to try it.

Today, the whole family chatted until very late before going to bed, and Tong Xiu's parents also rested in the Qin residence, and did not return to the bottom of the moon lake.The next day, Qin Heyi got up and baked a toast, sliced ​​it, smeared it with honey and put it in the oven to continue baking, making it into a crispy and sweet crispy toast, which tastes great when eaten with milk.

Combining Chinese and Western styles, Qin Heyi also made a cage of siu mai. Inside the siu mai were diced meat, diced mushrooms and dried tofu, and two or three green beans were placed in the opening of the siu mai.In addition to siu mai, there are also ready-made bean paste buns bought in the supermarket, which has always been the favorite brand of Qin Heyi and Tong Xiu. Although it is not as good as the ones made by ourselves, the taste is still very fragrant.The Chinese food is served with thick boiled millet porridge. A small handful of rice is put into the millet porridge. It looks richer in color and tastes better, which can be accepted by southerners.

After breakfast, Tong Qi pulled Qin Heyi aside, and wanted to discuss some things with him, "Xiao Rou and I don't usually have much to do, but we heard you talking about honey yesterday, so we thought about it tonight, can we Let's run it. How about renting a storefront in the street for the purpose of selling honey?"

Tong Xiu said that he doesn't like to let strangers into his home. Although Litang is an external store, it is also a part of their home. The employees are different from the guests. The guests leave as soon as they come, but the employees have to be fixed. of.Qin Heyi didn't think much at first, but when he heard Tong Xiu say this, he took it to heart. The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. Their family is no different from others, and they have too many secrets, so they rashly invited some strange employees over. , is not very good.

Although he can observe the breath and can roughly distinguish a person's good from bad, but people's hearts are far away, who knows that the hired staff will definitely be good.

Let Tong Xiu's parents go to the town to run a honey shop, even if the business is bleak, it's okay, and it's also good to find something for the elders to do.But the quality of honey is so good, as long as anyone with a little knowledge can know, the situation should not be too bad.

Qin Heyi was full of thoughts. He had already thought about it when he was listening to Tong Qi talking about his thoughts. When Tong Qi finished speaking, he nodded, "Father, your suggestion is very good, and it just solved our troubles. There is no need to hoard so much honey."

"Haha, it's us who solve your troubles, you just happened to find something for us to do, so it won't be too boring. Although the bottom of Moon Lake is good, it's isolated from the world, too cold and lonely. Humans live in groups, otherwise I and Xiaorou also doesn’t know how to go out for a walk. Alas, the outside world has changed too much from the past, and we still can’t get used to it all at once, so Baoyue Town is better, it feels more at ease.”

"Then it's decided. There is no storefront on the main street, so we can only look for it from other places."

"It's okay. Baoyue Town is so big. It's not just Jixiang Street, there are others. As long as the quality of honey is good and we advertise it, people will definitely come to buy it."

"Hmm, I thought so too."
