Niu male

On Niuwangzhuang, since the flowering period of wolfberry flowers passed, the bees raised by Luo Meng ran out of food, and it was not until the vegetables and strawberries in the greenhouse bloomed that they gathered honey again.

However, the flowers of these vegetables and strawberries do not flow too much honey. The bees are busy collecting honey every day, which is just self-sufficient. Until the newly planted loquat trees on the mountain bloomed this year, their food It became richer, and Romon also had honey to collect.

When it comes to honey, we have to mention Wangjiazhuang.Since Wang Dasheng of Wangjiazhuang got beekeeping advice from Luo Meng, in the past six months, almost every household in Wangjiazhuang has tasted the sweetness of beekeeping and selling honey.

At the beginning, some quick-witted villagers sold honey for hundreds of yuan at a time. Although the money was not much, it was not bad for the farmers in their village.Gradually, the number of beekeepers increased, and now some villagers have more than ten boxes of bees in their homes.

There are too many bees, and the problem will follow. The biggest problem is that the honey source is not enough. After all, their village is so big, and almost all the beehives are concentrated in the village. The nearby honey sources are naturally tense. Then the bees and The bees began to fight among themselves, and the beehives in many people's homes were severely damaged by this fight.

But the good thing about the people in their Wangjiazhuang is that there are many capable people, and there are people who stick out their heads in everything. Let’s not talk about the cadres in the villages and towns, and the rich households like Wang Dasheng, just talk about their village. The village chief is also capable. He is in his 20s. He returned to the village after graduating from university to run for election as the village chief. Out.

Village head Wang first found a few people in the village who could talk, held a small meeting, and then decided to plant honey sources around the village, so that the bees raised by the villagers in Wangjiazhuang could have honey all year round.

In the past half a year, the villagers in Wangjiazhuang have been very motivated. First, some people went up the mountain to dig a lot of wild osmanthus saplings and planted them around the village. Then the village raised funds to sell many saplings of locust tree and jujube tree, which were all planted near their village. on the hillside.

Village head Wang also took the lead in buying a lot of milk vetch seeds and distributed them to every household, so that if the villagers have idle land at home, they can go to sprinkle the seeds of milk vetch seeds. Every spring and autumn, it is also a very good source of honey .

Now the wild osmanthus flowers on the mountain are blooming, which can be regarded as an eye-opener. The wild osmanthus flowers in their area are quite good this year.I heard that in order to ensure the purity of the wild osmanthus honey, the people in Wangjiazhuang organized the villagers to turn over the land of vetch that had not yet withered, and buried the vetch in the soil. The vetch is a good green manure. In the coming year, the land where milk vetch has been planted will become more fertile.

Luo Meng heard in the past two days that the TV station in the county is going to do an exclusive interview with them. It seems that the matter has been settled. It will focus on promoting the wild osmanthus honey produced in Wangjiazhuang in winter. If it is done well, it may be listed on the TV station. .

This morning, Luo Meng transported a car from the town to Niuwangzhuang in the morning, and arranged the work for the day. Seeing that there was nothing to do, he went to his small building deep in the valley.

From a distance, Luo Meng saw the door downstairs of his house was open. When he walked in, he saw Xiao Shulin sweeping the floor with a big towel tied on the broom. There was a stubborn stain on the ground, so I squatted down, pulled a corner of the towel, and wiped it vigorously.

"Just leave these things to me." Romon changed into his slippers and entered the room with a smile on his face.

"Anyway, I have nothing to do." Xiao Shulin replied indifferently. He was used to doing these housework at home before. He and Boss Xiao were the only two in their house. If Boss Xiao didn't do it, he would do it.

"Why don't you wear more?" Luo Meng squatted down beside Xiao Shulin, leaned over and kissed him.

"I just took a shower, it's not cold."

Xiao Shulin smiled, his ears were a little red, he stood up and swept the floor downstairs, and then went upstairs with the broom, and Romon followed, the stairs and the floor upstairs were damp The water vapor is obviously just wiped off.

Xiao Shulin took the towel off the broom and scrubbed it for a few times, then hung it on the rope next to the laundry sink, and put the broom against the wall.

"Do we still grow grapes on this roof?" Romon leaned against the railing on the edge of the platform, looked around, and felt that the current situation is pretty good, with a wide view.

"Stop planting, isn't there already so much planting at the blacksmith shop?" Xiao Shulin also thinks it's so good now.

The entire platform on the second floor of their house is slightly lower than the two rooms next to it, a difference of more than ten centimeters, which is a small step to prevent the rainwater from the balcony from flowing into the house on rainy days.The ground was paved with wooden floors, and the wooden railings were also made very strong. Xiao Shulin and Luo Meng liked to lie down here when they had nothing to do these days, and they fell in love with each other soon, and they never wanted to make any changes.

The two lay side by side on the floor, watching the sunlight fall into the valley little by little. After a long time, Romon finally asked the topic they had been avoiding these days: "When are we going to see your dad?" ?”

"It's almost there." Xiao Shulin said.

"tomorrow?"

"Ah."

"..." Luo Meng didn't say anything, and Xiao Shulin didn't say anything, so the matter was settled. Tomorrow, they were going to face Boss Xiao's anger.

"Beep...beep..." As the classic and nostalgic phone rang, Romon took out his phone and looked at it. It was already past nine o'clock in the morning, and two hours had passed before he knew it.

"What's the matter?" Romon asked.

"Someone is looking for him, and he is said to be Wang Dasheng from Wangjiazhuang." Luo Zhifang's voice sounded on the other end of the phone.

"Got it, come here."

"!" After getting the answer, Luo Zhifang hung up the phone without saying a word, and left a series of busy messages for Luo Meng. It's strange to have to open it.

"Is something wrong?" Xiao Shulin also sat up from the floor.

"Well, Wang Dasheng is here, probably because of Scolia's business." Luo Meng sat up and did not leave immediately.

"I'm going to the company soon." Xiao Shulin said.

"Come back for dinner?" Romon asked him.

"Back." Xiao Shulin nodded.

"Be careful on the road." Romon said again.

"Ah."

"I'm leaving?"

"Oh."

"What time do you come back at night?" Romon asked again.

"It's about five o'clock."

"Be careful on the road, there will be a lot of cars at that time." Luo Meng still did not leave.

"Oh."

"..." Romon wanted to say something else.

"Let's go." Xiao Shulin urged him.

"Oh." Luo Meng rubbed his nose, stood up reluctantly from the floor, walked through the corridor, and turned his head when he went down the stairs, and saw Xiao Shulin grinning at him. Then I pedaled down the stairs and rode a tricycle to Wang Siheyuan.Xiao Shulin sat on the edge of the railing, watched him go farther and farther, and disappeared after turning a corner. Then he went into the house to change clothes, and he should go out in a while.

When Luo Meng arrived at the courtyard, Wang Dasheng had been waiting for a while. This man was still the same as before, tall and fat, with a big belly and a very expensive belt around his waist.

"Brother, you have maintained this place really well." Wang Dasheng warmly greeted Luo Meng as soon as he saw him.

"Hey, toss around." Luo Meng moved a stool for himself, and sat next to Wang Dasheng.

"The last time I came back, it was a few months ago. At that time, there was nothing on this mountain. I think it was just a cowshed. Now look, such a big yard has been built." Wang Dasheng continued Said.

"How is your Wangjiazhuang? I heard that you are going to be on TV?" Romon waved his hand and changed the subject casually.

"It's not bad." Wang Dasheng was not very modest, and told Luo Meng about their Wangjiazhuang: "At the beginning, I didn't get the tricks, and I took a lot of detours. Now it's better, basically every household After raising bees, there are a few very stupid ones who can’t learn it, so there is really no way.”

"Before we were doing business outside, and we knew a lot of people. The honey produced in our village was easy to sell, but I still found it troublesome, and I would go outside every time. It was troublesome. Taking advantage of this time, the TV station is not doing it for us. As for advertising, I was just thinking about setting up a store in the town, if I can make a name for myself, I will definitely sell my products.” When talking about the sales of honey, Wang Dasheng seemed full of confidence.

"Then you came to see me this time..." Romon asked him directly why he came.

"It's also for beekeeping. Although our Wangjiazhuang is now raising bees to produce honey, it's not bad, but I don't know if it's because the people in our village shake the honey too often, and the bees are too slow to sort. A few young people from the village came back, and they also wanted to follow beekeeping, and I couldn’t get so many bees for a while, so I thought of you.” Wang Dasheng explained the purpose of his visit this time in a few words, that is, to buy bees. son.

"How much do you want?" The bees on the Niuwang Manor have bred well this year. Anyway, the Niuwang Manor is only this big in total. Too many bees are useless, and I don't want to pinch Romon off. After all, they were picked for him. There is a lot of honey, there is no credit but hard work, and the people of Wangjiazhuang are willing to buy it, which is just right, and it can increase their income.

"As much as you want, there are two young people in our village who also said that they want to go up the mountain to herd bees. At least dozens or hundreds of boxes will be needed, otherwise it is not worth the hard work." Wang Dasheng is still the same as before, They are very concerned about the affairs of their village.

"Then I don't have that many." Romon doesn't have a few more boxes in total now.

"It's okay, anyway, we want as much as you have." Wang Dasheng said.

"What's the price?" Although it was from a fellow villager, Romon wasn't too polite to ask him the price.

"With beehives, how about [-] per box?" Wang Dasheng asked.

As for the price, Romon had no idea, one thousand and eight per box, this price should be considered pretty good.In their place, due to geographical constraints, there are no large-scale honey sources, and there are very few beekeepers, but there are people who sell honey in the market, and few people who sell bees have heard of it.

Without the market price as a reference, the price is more flexible when buying and selling bees. Objectively speaking, [-] is not low, but Romon is not very satisfied.

"Let me take you to see my bees first." Romon shook his head and did not continue to negotiate the price.

"Okay." Wang Dasheng was also straightforward. In the past six months, he groped along with the people in Wangjiazhuang all the way, and he also went through a lot of ups and downs, and accumulated a lot of beekeeping experience.In his opinion, Luo Meng is not the kind of person who cares about everything and likes to bargain. Since he is not satisfied with the price he offered this time, Wang Dasheng also wants to see what is so special about their bee.

Luo Meng took Wang Dasheng all the way to his own loquat forest. The loquat trees planted just before autumn this year are still very small. At this moment, some small trees have sporadically bloomed white flowers, and some are still growing. With buds.

Luo Meng led Wang Dasheng to a beehive in the loquat forest, and swiftly caught a worker bee that had just harvested honey and was about to return to the nest from the bee path.

"Look at my bee." Luo Meng handed the bee to Wang Dasheng.

"This!!!" When Wang Dasheng saw it, his eyes froze.

This bumble bee in front of me is slightly larger than the one raised in their village, and its color is brighter. The whole little bee looks very energetic. At this time, its stomach is full of honey, and its round abdomen is shining in the sun. It seems that it can still shine through, showing a crystal clear amber color...

"Can you see the difference?" Romon put the bee in front of the bee path, and saw it flapping its wings, and quickly got into the bee path.Then Luo Meng grabbed a few more and showed them to Wang Dasheng, all of them were of this quality.

"It's not easy for us to raise bumblebees. They like to move around and are easily frightened. It is even more difficult to produce high yields. Needless to say, the benefits are cold-resistant and good at collecting scattered honey sources, like the wild bees in your village. Sweet-scented osmanthus honey, it can only be collected by the bees, in winter, in our land, the bees can't stand the cold at all."

"Our Niuwang Village has good geomantic omen, and the honey it produces is good. To tell you the truth, the price of our honey here is not low. I haven't fed these bees with any sugar, and they are all raised with nectar. If the box is [-] yuan, the honey they eat alone may be more than this money."

"Yes, it is indeed more than this price." Wang Dasheng looked at the beehive in front of him anxiously.

In the past, when he didn't know how to keep bees, even the best bees were just bees in his eyes, nothing special, but now that he understands, knowing that these bees are good, the resistance is almost gone , Just like those who love to drink are greedy for those rare wines.

"Tell me, how much is it?" With Wang Dasheng's financial resources, even if he wanted to buy a box and go back to have fun.

"It's hard to say about the price." Romon smiled and said, "I'm a good bee, and I'm sure I don't want the price to be low, but the villagers in your village keep bees for making money, right? The price is high, how long will it take to get back the cost, what if there is an unexpected discount in the middle? You have to go back and discuss this matter with them.”

"You're right." Wang Dasheng sighed, and said, "I'll discuss it with them when the time comes. Tell me first, what price can you accept?"

"I don't want to make a fortune as a fellow in our village. I can accept it if I get three thousand."

To be honest, if Romon really wants to make money from this, there will be a lot of beekeeping enthusiasts on the Internet. Such good bees almost only exist in legends. Naturally, there are not a few people who are willing to pay a lot of money. In the first place, before Luo Meng earned a lot of money, his reputation was first spread out.

This is exactly what Romon doesn't want. He just wants to guard this mountain bump and live a peaceful life. Of course, it would be even better if the reputation of Shili Baxiang could be better.

"Then I'll buy a box and go back to show them." Wang Dasheng rubbed his hands. Now he can't wait to move this box of bees to the balcony of his own house. If he has nothing to do, he can use a magnifying glass to have a look. When you are a guest, show off again.

"It's just one box. I don't know if I can buy it or not. There just happens to be a box over at the strawberry shed. I guess I'm going to be hungry again these days. I'll let them go back with you in a while, so I can have a good time." Roman said generously.

"Hahaha! Thank you, brother!" Wang Dasheng accepted it openly without being pretentious.

It is said that when the strawberries started to bloom, Romon put a box of bees in the shed. At that time, there were a lot of strawberry flowers, and new flowers bloomed every day. These bees should not be short of rations.

Later, when the strawberries in the greenhouse began to bear fruit one after another, the number of flowers decreased sharply, and the source of honey became a problem.But because there were a lot of bees elsewhere, Romon didn't think about how to place them for the time being, so he didn't move.

One day when the two sisters Luo Meihui and Luo Meiling went to the strawberry shed to see strawberries, they saw a little bee picking and picking a cluster of small white flowers that were about to wither. Desperately want to find a little bit of nectar.

The two sisters watched the little bee crawling in and out of the strawberry flowers. After a while, they finally gave up and left.Then soon, a new little bee came and started a new round of searching...

That afternoon, when Romon saw the two nieces, who were originally happy, entered the strawberry shed, he immediately felt sad, and said to him with a mournful face: "Uncle, the little bee is so pitiful!"
