Niu male

It is said that the thorn roses on Niuwangzhuang Mountain bloomed in large areas because there were not enough people to pick them. After Luo Meng knew about this, he brought two boxes of bees up the mountain, hoping that they would bring back some nectar.

This afternoon, after Luo Meng helped Xiao Shulin cut a lot of packing tapes, he had nothing else to do, so he just stared at his son like a nympho, seeing the focused expression on his face and the faint lines between his brows. Textures, spiritual short hair, slender neck, broad shoulders...

"You have nothing to do?" Xiao Shulin saw that his work efficiency had seriously dropped.

"No more." Romon didn't want to move the floor right now.

"Aren't you going to take a look at those beehives on the mountain?" Xiao Shulin planned to find him something to do.

"Not so fast, I'll go in two days." Romon waved his hand.

"Go now." Xiao Shulin raised his chin at him.

"I'll go tomorrow..." Luo Meng was just about to explain that he would go tomorrow, but when he saw Xiao Shulin's eyes cast over him, he had to change his words: "Then I'll go up the mountain to have a look now." Then he stood up from the stool reluctantly, On the way up the mountain, Lao Zhou sighed and thought: Xiao Shulin is good at everything, but he is too manly, although he likes this very much...

For this thorn rose nectar, Romon didn't have much hope at first, because since he raised bees himself, he often went to several beekeeping forums to hang out. He heard that the rose nectar and wild rose nectar on the market are basically It is not natural honey, because the male and female stamens of roses have degenerated, and there is no fruit at all, and wild roses, that is, thorn roses, although they can produce honey, the output is very small.

Since the output is very small, Romon plans to keep the few boxes of bees on the mountain for a few more months, and wait until the flowering period of the thorn roses at home is over, then shake the honey together, and how much can be shaken, but today Since Xiao Shulin had spoken, he should go up the mountain to have a look.

As soon as he arrived at the thorn rose field, Romon saw many of his own little bees busy in and out of the thorn rose flowers, pulling their tiny legs to search for nectar meticulously.Romon found a nearby beehive, and as soon as he opened the top cover, a burst of fragrant flower fragrance rushed towards him. Romon sniffed and smelled it, and the smell was not bad, not greasy.

It didn't take long, and there was a lot of honey in the beehive. Fortunately, he came today and brought a honey shaker, otherwise, after a while, these thorn rose honey would become a group of small The bees are gone.

Bees are like this. As long as they store enough food, they will concentrate on breeding the next generation and stop actively collecting honey, so they must empty out the food in their hives in time, unless there is no nectar source in winter, Romon Only enough rations will be left for them.

After shaking several beehives, Luo Meng went back with the honey shaker on his shoulders. After simple filtering of the honey, Luo Meng found some moderately sized jars from the courtyard. A jar can hold two catties, and these honeys are filled with five and a half jars in total.

"Come on, try it." Luo Meng took out the last half of the jar, found two more spoons, and handed it to Xiao Shulin.

Xiao Shulin put down the half-woven basket in his hand, took the spoon handed to him by Romon, dug a spoonful of rose nectar from the jar, and ate it into his mouth.

"How is it?" Romon looked at him expectantly.

"It's delicious." Xiao Shulin usually eats a lot of wolfberry nectar, and occasionally changes the taste, and he really thinks it's good. The taste of this thorn rose nectar is different from other nectars. The faint fragrance lingers, and the taste is mellow. In short, it is delicious .

"Then eat more." Romon pushed the half jar of honey towards him again.

"Well, you can eat too."

"What are you two eating?" Bu Yigua went out early this morning, and didn't know that he was telling the fortune of that noble man again, and he didn't come back until now. Meng and Xiao Shulin sat opposite each other under the big tree, you and I were having a good time eating.

"Oh, it's rose nectar." Romon smiled at him.

"The thorn roses on our mountain have already harvested honey?" Bu Yigua stopped in his tracks.

"Yeah, it tastes pretty good." Xiao Shulin said and put the spoon into the jar again, scooped out a spoonful of pink honey, and ate it in one bite.

"Do you two know how much such a jar of honey is worth?" The fat on Bu Yigua's face trembled slightly.

"It doesn't matter how much it costs." Romon didn't take it seriously, it's just half a jar of honey, and he just ate it.

"It's best for women to eat this thing, what are you two doing?" Bu Yigua looked angry and indisputable.

"It's delicious." Xiao Shulin twitched the corner of his mouth, and dug out another spoonful of honey to eat. He also felt a little strange. He and Luo Meng ate their own honey. What's wrong with this old man?

"Okay, you two, eat it, if you don't like it, just tear down this hill and chew it." Bu Yigua sighed and walked towards the courtyard: "Oh, it's tens of thousands. Just eat it."

After hearing this, Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin looked at each other in astonishment, tens of thousands?This stuff is really good to eat, but it's not so delicious that it can be worth 10,000+.

"Hey, Master Divination, don't be in a hurry to leave. Tell me, does this thorn rose nectar have any skills?" Pulled back.

"Skills? What kind of skills can there be, it's just worth money." Bu Yigua hummed.

"Can it be so valuable? Our goji berry nectar is only a few hundred yuan a catty." Luo Meng rubbed his hands. If it was really so valuable, then wouldn't the reservoir on their mountain be owned?

"This honey is good, it depends on who sells it and how it is sold, do you understand?" Bu Yigua gave Luo Meng an unpredictable look.

"Understood! I understand!" Of course Luo Meng understood that Bu Yigua was just saying that the price of selling this honey to him would be better than selling it to Tongcheng Ma Congrong: "But Master Bu, you Look at our thorn rose nectar, can it really sell for 10,000+?"

"If you're talking about thorn rose nectar and goji berry nectar, the price is good, but it can't be high, but if you can classify this nectar into one, two, or three grades, if your family can be rated above first grade, Even if you get a special one, the price is... you know?" Bu Yigua raised his round and plump chin.

"Understood! This one of ours must be a premium one. In ancient times, it would have been paid as a tribute to the royal family!" Not only did Romon understand, but he also remembered one thing. He called Gao Gaogui to order it earlier. Baijiu, the old guy made three grades of liquor for him. Could it be that he was taught by Divination?

"That's right, that's what it means." Bu Yigua chuckled twice, then changed the subject and said, "It makes sense, that's the truth, but it depends on who sells it. , if you give it special things, he can only sell them for first-class prices.”

"Master Bu, what do you mean?" Luo Meng smiled, thinking that the old guy is going to buy and sell.

"Just say how many jars of this honey you still have." Bu Yigua asked directly.

"Besides the one we have, there are five cans left." Romon said.

"50, you give it all to me." Bu Yigua directly offered the price.

"60." Without blinking his eyes, Luo Meng directly raised [-].

"Okay, but if you have this honey in the future, don't let that old boy Ma Dingliang know, and the old man of the Ma family, you have to be careful. Anyway, if you have this honey in the future, you can come to me directly. "Bu Yigua doesn't want to compete with Tongcheng Ma's family. He is alone and weak, how can he win against their big family?

"Deal!" Romon readily agreed.

"Continue to eat." Sending away Bu Yigua, Luo Meng told Xiao Shulin to continue eating. Anyway, the spoons had been served just now, and it was too late to sell it now, let alone for Xiao Shulin to eat, he would be willing to give up any good thing .

"Don't eat it, it's not as good as small river prawns." Xiao Shulin's flesh hurts, and these few mouthfuls will cost tens of thousands. How many small river prawns will he have to sell to earn back?

"When we earn enough money in the future, we won't sell any good things, and keep them all for ourselves." Luo Meng said with a chuckle.

"Bah!" Xiao Shulin twitched the corners of his mouth, and put the spoon into the jar again. Well, he admitted that the taste is indeed very good.

"The next time you shake honey, leave some for my sister, my mother, and Aunt Ayun." Luo Meng said again.

"If they know the price, they probably won't be able to eat it anymore." Among these women, Aunt Ayun is the richest, but her richness is still in the category of common people, 10,000+ a jar of honey, she It must be reluctant.

"Then don't tell them the price, if you don't tell me, I don't tell you, how can they know?" When Luo Meng thought of this, he suddenly thought of another question, this divination got his honey Go outside to sell, don't recruit some big shots for him back then, Luo Meng doesn't want to turn his Niuwangzhuang into the back garden of rich people.

"Worrying ass! When I came out to mess around, you didn't even have a fertilized egg!" Facing Luo Meng's advice, the old fat man burst into foul language, thinking that he would go all over the world with a divination Can't deal with such a small problem?What's more, he has decided to retire here. After spending his whole life in the rivers and lakes, how can he mess up his final resting place?

After Bu Yigua got these jars of honey, he packed his bags and went out early the next morning, probably looking for some super rich rich man to do sales. Not to mention, this old liar went around telling fortunes and divinations to others. If you want to talk about rich people, you really know a lot.

In any case, once the 60 was credited, Romon's hands were much looser, and he didn't have to worry too much about repairing the reservoir, at least the initial funds were already in place.

Then there is the issue of recruiting people. Since Romon put up the recruitment poster, people have signed up one after another in the past few days, but the number is still not much, less than [-] in total, and it is still far from the goal of [-]. far away.

"Is it really necessary to raise wages?" Thinking of this, Lao Zhou's heart was bleeding. He remembered that when the reservoir was built in the village, the wages rose again and again. The cost of this reservoir will be huge if the wages are counted.

After all, the village chose a good terrain to build a reservoir. It is enough to build a dam, but his hillside is different. The excavation is all manual, because the hillside is too steep, and the terrain where the reservoir is to be built is long and narrow. An excavator If it accidentally fell down from the hillside, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In addition, stones have to be piled up around the reservoir for reinforcement. Not to mention the cost of the stone materials, the labor alone requires a lot of money. It is really based on the salary level of [-] to [-]. When the reservoir is completed, the old Zhou felt that he would probably go bankrupt.

"Old Zhou, we want to discuss something with you." This morning when Romon and the others were about to close the store, seven or eight boys who looked like high school students came in.

"What's the matter?" Luo Meng's eyes were sharp, and he immediately recognized these three high-ranking students.

"We heard that you are going to build a reservoir?" asked a fair boy wearing glasses.

"Yeah, but with your small body, I'm afraid it won't be enough." Romon smiled and shook his head, stacking several Romons under the shelf.

"We can get a little less salary." A boy behind said anxiously.

"You are in the third year of high school, right?" Romon put down his work.

"Yeah, I just finished the exam in June, and I've been playing at home for almost a month." The guy with glasses replied.

"Let's talk, what's your plan?" Looking at the expressions of these boys, Luo Meng guessed that they were definitely more than just wanting to take summer jobs. Young people don't know how to hide, and the seriousness on their faces has already betrayed them. An understatement.

"We want to go to Niuwangzhuang to learn farming." One of the taller boys said.

"Stop reading?" Romon asked him.

"What are you going to study? We won't be able to get into a good school anyway." The boy curled his lips.

"Farming the land is not so easy." Romon said to them.

"We know." The three high schools held planting classes, and these students also had some experience.

"Does your family agree?" If their family disagrees, Romon will teach them to farm on their own initiative. In the end, not only will it not please them, but it may even cause resentment.

"Our parents already know about it." The boy said.

"Then they agreed?" Romon smiled, wanting to play this kind of word game with him, this girl is still a little young, knowing and agreeing can be the same thing?

"I don't agree, let's take it slowly." The four-eyed boy sighed like an old man.

Luo Meng thought about it, the summer harvest would be coming soon on his mountain, and a lot of beans and melons and fruits on the mountain needed to be harvested by hand. These students can come if they want, there are not many more of them, and the reservoir cannot be built. Can arrange other work to do.

"That's it. Let's not talk about the future. Let's talk about the summer job. If your parents agree, you can come. You will be paid as much as you do. Just like everyone else, you will not be given less." As for learning to farm and so on, after they feel the real agricultural labor, they might retreat first.

"Is it okay for those under the age of eighteen?" The glasses boy asked anxiously.

"Okay, as long as you are sixteen years old, you can come if you are not sixteen years old, but you must be accompanied by your parents." Niuwangzhuang is not too crowded this season.

"Can other students come with me?" These boys asked again.

"As much as you want, but if you don't work hard, you will be invited back." Romon replied.

"Where are the girls? Can girls come?" A small boy asked expectantly.

"I can come, just like you, as long as my parents agree."

"Aw!" Hearing that girls can come too, the boys who didn't know why suddenly became excited!

Romon glanced at them and said nothing.It just so happened that Liu Ruhua was planning to arrange pickles during this time. He wanted to arrange more people for her. Besides, those little girls would be safe if they followed her. !

So two days later, the whole Niuwangzhuang was boiling. Most of these seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys and girls came to Niuwangzhuang for the first time. Five groups were laughing and joking, and some couldn't help singing loudly because they were in such a good mood...

"Ahh! Why are you here too?"

"Didn't you say that your parents won't let you come?"

"Hey! Let's live in the same dormitory, shall we?"

"Oh my god! This place is just too good!"

"Wow! There are so many cows!"

"Aww! I heard that there are no separate dormitories for boys and girls!"

"I'm a little bird~ how to fly~ but I can't fly high~~~"

"Come up quickly! You can really see a lot of birds from the skylight!"

"..."

Downstairs in the corridor, Chen Guanshi said to Lao Zhou with a sad face, "Master, I'm afraid I won't be able to lead this group of employees."

"It's okay, it's puberty, it's inevitable to be a little restless." Romon patted him on the shoulder, telling him to relax and work hard.

"Take it out to repair the reservoir for two days, and it will naturally stop." Zheng Bolun, who was usually silent, said lightly at this time.
