Niu male

When the two stilted buildings on Niuwangzhuang were full of people, the thorn roses on the mountain just entered the blooming period. Every morning, a large number of flower buds trembled and opened their petals, and most of the petals would be plucked on the same day. After picking them, they are transported to the mountains to refine the essential oils. Bees are also flying in and out of the flowers, busy collecting nectar.

Because the seedlings of thorn rose are quite cheap, and a large number of petals are needed to extract the essential oil. When planting it, Lao Zhou worked hard. The flower belt surrounding the entire Niubei Peak is long and wide. Hundreds of people sprinkled it in, and it was sparse. Not too much at all.

In the courtyard at the foot of the mountain, a warehouse was cleared out and used for extracting essential oils. It was located next to Martin Liang’s laboratory. Zhou is naturally happy to have one more free laborer, and it is still a semi-professional level.

Because Mario had promised to sell this batch of essential oils to them early on, there was no embarrassment in asking questions when encountering problems during the process of refining the essential oils. Mario was even more generous with his advice, and even opened a video communication.

Mario and his family have a rose garden that has been passed down from generation to generation. The professional level is unquestionable. Even the two little girls in their teens are very orderly in their work. When the adults are not free, Romon has been given For the guidance of the two of them, in order to express his gratitude, Romon said that when the rose essential oil was delivered a while later, each of them would give them a bottle of rose honey.

"Is there any honey in the roses?" the little girls asked with their eyes wide open in not-so-fluent English.

"Yes, our roses here have honey, but it's very rare." While chatting with the little girl on the other end of the video, Romon sorted out the day's harvest. From morning to night, hundreds of people worked non-stop Baskets and baskets of petals were transported down from the mountains, and after processing, only a few bottles of essential oils were produced, and if they were not sold at sky-high prices, I would be sorry for everyone's hard work.

"Is it expensive?"

"Of course, so I can only give you a small bottle each."

"If this honey is really as good as you said, we can consider introducing roses from your country."

"That's probably going to be difficult."

"why?"

"Because the benefits are too low, unless you also have cheap land and a lot of cheap labor, and the type of bees is not right. The bees we raise here are small in size and are very good at collecting sporadic honey sources. Your side The big guy can't do it."

"Maybe I can try planting a few plants in the backyard first?"

"If you want to buy flower seedlings, you are always welcome."

"Are you ready?" At this moment, the door of the barn was pushed open, and Xiao Shulin asked with his head in.

"Okay." Romon replied back, quickly said goodbye to the two girls on the other end of the video, then turned off the computer, put the day's essential oils and flower water in the cabinet and locked it, took the key, and turned off the light lock Door.

It was already dark outside, and Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin walked to the blacksmith shop together. These days, the longest time their family spends together every day is on this section of the road. When they go out, they are two people, and when they come back, they are three people. personal.

Houwazi has recently become obsessed with playing chess. He comes back from kindergarten every afternoon, and goes to the blacksmith shop after dinner. Sometimes he even eats dinner there, waiting for Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin to pick him up before going to bed. Home.

"General!" The yard was lit, and old man Chang was sitting on the rattan chair, raising his hand and pushing a horse down.

"..." Houwazi squatted in a corner of the chess table without saying a word, holding two chess pieces in one hand and playing them leisurely, while pressing the dishonest Huahua with the other.As Huahua grew up, he became wilder. He not only caught birds, but also caught small fish in the ditch. Once caught by Xiao Shulin, his free movement space was greatly reduced.

"Don't look at it, dead chess." Old man Chang said with a smug smile.

"Aw!" Huahua replied unceremoniously, this guy no longer sounds like a kitten, but looks like a beast.

"General." Houwazi moved his handsome man to the side, facing the opposite general.

"It's useless." Old man Chang moved his hand to the side without haste.

After a few steps, the situation on Houwazi's side still didn't improve. Old man Chang's pawn crossed the river again and directly killed his handsome face. Obediently pushed a straw cage on the table to the opposite side.

"Aw! Aww!!!" Huahua gave up, stretched out her claws to hook the grass cage, and refused to let it go.

"I would like to bet and admit defeat, why can't I afford to lose?" Old man Chang smiled and took the grass cage, Huahua just yelled twice, but he still didn't dare to provoke this old guy with broken force value in front of him.

"Dad." Houwazi turned his head to look at Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin, his face soon became happy. This kid has become a habit of losing chess recently, and their old Zhou said, that thing Just pay the tuition fee, don't be too reluctant.

"Son, this chess piece is very good." Lao Zhou spared no effort to help his precious son regain his confidence elsewhere. This chess set was made by Xiao Shulin for him, because there is no need to carve any patterns, just a few words. He got up very quickly, and within a few days, Houwazi was able to play walnut chess pieces.

"Old Swallow, Old Cui, come quickly, have you eaten bamboo shoot insects? It tastes so good after roasting it." Here, Lao Chang has already called friends to prepare for supper.

"I used to love to eat this when I was a kid."

"A sprinkle of salt is better."

"There's no brazier, I'll go back to the house and get it."

"It would be even better if you can have some wine."

Here, Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin hugged Monkey Boy and Hua Hua, and after saying hello to Xiao Boss, Aunt Ayun and the others, they got out of the blacksmith shop.

The old man Chang is actually good to Houwazi. Houwazi eats all the good things in his house, imported candy, fresh food from the coast, fruits from the south, etc. Now that the old man has money and leisure, he is willing to eat it, and his children are also willing to eat it. Filial piety, there are a lot of delicious food at home every day.

However, Houwazi would not want to get involved with the things he exported every day playing chess. If he loses, he loses. It's not because he is a child that he doesn't take him seriously.Both Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin also felt that this was very good. Under this subtle influence, their son was destined to be a famous man when he grew up.

After a few days of accumulation, it was time for the first batch of flower water to be sold on the shelves.The so-called flower water is to collect the essential oil and water during the distillation process, and then extract the upper layer of essential oil, and the rest is flower water. In addition to water, there are many substances dissolved in water in the petals. , although this flower water is not as precious as essential oils, it is also relatively rare.

Old Zhou's flower water is pure natural without additives, maybe not as targeted as some skin care products on the market, but there are many people who pursue pure nature these days, and netizens who are not enthusiastic enough about their products are stuck between their teeth .

So far, the beauty and skin care products of Lao Zhou’s family are only two. The previous loofah water plus the current flower water and rose essential oil will have to wait until the Damascus rose is in full bloom. At that time, the essential oil will be extracted and placed in their supermarket and Luo Xingyou’s. Sell ​​on the web shop.

Because the income from loofah water is good, there are a lot of loofahs grown in Niuwangzhuang, and the price of loofahs is also relatively cheap. Once the loofahs here are cheap, the loofahs in the village will not sell well, so Now people in Dawan Village don't like to grow loofahs.Is it okay to compete with Niuwangzhuang?Isn't it a pleasure to find yourself in a hurry? How much cow dung is used in other people's fields, and how much do they use at home?Can that compare?

In the cold storage of the old Zhou family, there are tanks of loofah water, which are enough when they are put in. Then the foam on the top and the sediment on the bottom are removed, filtered, and bottled for sale. Good.

There is also someone who opened a record post in the forum. It is a girl from Tongcheng, 29 years old, married and has a child, her mother-in-law's family, the family background is good, she grew up being held in the palm of her hand when she was a child, and her life is quite easy after marriage.

But time makes people old. Before she was 30 years old, she felt that her skin had begun to go downhill.It may be due to personal skin quality, or it may be due to the use of too many chemical products when she was young. At the age of 29, she began to develop some fine wrinkles on her face, her skin lacked elasticity, and there were even some imperfections. Large noticeable dark spots.

Her husband is a veteran of the Tongcheng Forum, and they both worked in Niuwangzhuang before. He also recruited a few workers to make up the numbers, and brought her five bottles back in one breath. It is true that she loves her wife, and her blind worship of Niuwangzhuang is also absolute.

Afterwards, she opened a record post in the forum, and decided to take a macro picture of the partial skin on her face every day under the same lighting conditions. In the following days, she used loofah water every morning and evening, and took pictures every day for comparison , and try to use as little makeup as possible during the day. At the beginning, she was not used to it. She always felt that she would not be able to meet people if she did not put on impeccable makeup, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted.

The effect in a short period of time is not very obvious. After using it for half a month, she compared the photos she posted at the beginning, and it seemed that there was some improvement, so she continued to use it until the five bottles were used up. Her post was also popular, not to mention the old Zhou's loofah water, anyway, he never had to worry about sales.

Soon, these netizens discovered that the old Zhou family had launched a new product, thorn rose flower water, but when most of them opened this page, they had already missed the first batch of flower water. Fortunately, the details of the baby can still be viewed.The things of the old Zhou’s have never been introduced much. Except for the buyer’s notice and the introduction of express delivery status edited by this online store, the rest are basically pictures.

Like the thorn rose flower water this time, two photos of the old Zhou family’s thorn rose flower belt and two photos of the flower pickers are posted on the page. In addition, there are petals, buffaloes, flower harvesting scenes, and essential oil extraction flowers The general course of water.Both the introduction and the pictures are very simple and natural. There is no over-emphasized artistic atmosphere, and there is no deliberate emphasis on the simplicity of the countryside. It just presents the origin of these flowers and waters on the Internet.

Compared with the loofah water, the price of this thorn rose water is higher. A small bottle of water, 100cc, sells for 100 yuan. Some people say that the price is too expensive, and some say that the thorn rose water is low-grade. No matter what they say, a day When the batch of flower water was put on the shelves, it was still in full swing.

Since the start of the flower-picking activity, Romon basically has no time to kill chickens and look for chicken spirits every day. He is also groping for the work of extracting essential oils, and he has not found a suitable person to hand over this work for the time being. , he had no choice but to stand on his own for the time being.

On the other side, although old man Chang's condition is not bad, this matter is still pending after all. This old man is a nice person, and he is also very good to their monkey children. Things, after all, are not something he can have if he wants to.

It was not dawn that morning, when Xiao Shulin went to town to practice martial arts, Luo Meng just woke up, he thought for a while, and went to the chicken shed by himself, staring at his roosters tied with small strings They looked at it for a while, and finally untied all the ropes from their feet, and there was not one left.

After a while, Chai Fengxiang and Bian Dajun came to catch a batch of young roosters that were going to be distributed to Jiweilou today. When it was dawn, roosters, hens, big chickens and little chickens came out of the chicken coop one after another, and Luo Meng sprinkled some chicken food with them .

"Ahh..." Both foodies, Yaya and Dabao, have a tendency to develop horizontally, and they live a very comfortable life with so many chickens.

"Dabao, come here." Romon squatted on a log, looked at his chickens for a while, and then beckoned for Dabao to pass.

"Wow!" Dabao barked lightly, and jumped over in a few steps. This guy has grown up now, and he is much bigger than his father. His white hair is fluffy and fluffy, which makes his round body even more round. Lao Zhou has no complaints about its figure, but has some complaints about its food intake.

"Baby, go and help me catch a chicken. If there is a chicken spirit, I will treat you to eat chicken for a week, one every day." Lao Zhou patted the dog's head of their big treasure and said.

"Wow!" Really?Dabao was wagging his tongue and wagging his tail with anticipation in his eyes.

"Does Ji Ling know?"

"Wang!"

"Oh, look at you, how much good food do you eat? My son doesn't eat as much as you do."

"Wang woo..."

"If you find it, eat chicken, if you can't find it, eat steamed buns."

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

"Okay, let's go, the protest is invalid."

This guy Dabao walked into the chicken flock without even hesitating for a moment, and rushed towards a majestic big rooster. It wasn't in a heavy class at all, and within a few strokes, it was bitten by the wings and brought to Romon.

"Are you sure there is a chicken spirit on it? You didn't even look for it carefully." Lao Zhou looked at the big rooster. This is the best breeder chicken in their family. Could it be that he misunderstood what he meant?

Dabao put the big rooster in his mouth on the ground, raised a thick front leg and stepped on the neck of the chicken: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

It knows the situation of every chicken here, so does it need to look carefully?
