Chapter 308 Can I Learn from You
"Try it first."
Xuyuan opened the lid of a small jar of maltose and smeared some on the entrances of the two boxes and inside the boxes.
"Be gentle with your movements. Once all the bees are in, quickly close the lid."
"it is good."
Feng Xing and Zhu Chongli followed their wish and slowly untied the bag to release the wild bees inside. When they were almost done, they slowly closed the lid.
Several people breathed a sigh of relief.
Xuyuan adjusted the valve opening of the entrance a little smaller, pressed down the lid with a stone, and took off the hat he was wearing.
"Yuan girl, can we also learn from you?" Zhu Chongli asked shamelessly.
"But I'm just trying. I can't guarantee that I can support myself. I'm afraid to waste your time." Xu Yuan didn't say everything. After all, it's a good thing that someone can learn, but it's indeed his first attempt and he can't guarantee that he can succeed.
"It's okay. This is our first attempt too. We won't blame you whether you succeed or not." Lao Fan comforted.
"Well, actually you all know the steps we just took, and then the follow-up..."
Xu Yuan explained one by one the things that need to be paid attention to in the subsequent beekeeping. There are so many flowering fruit trees on this mountain, so choosing a good location is not a problem.
Lu Zhenglin pointed, "What about this box?"
Xu Yuan replied: "You can go to Uncle Dafu and tell him that you want to get a beehive. He will help you get it."
"Okay, then we'll go back and make preparations. If you need any help, just call us. It's free. Money is so hard to earn."
"Yes, Xuyuan, you can't teach us this craft for nothing. I have to pay you some tuition fee." Zhu Chongli remembered something and was about to take out some silver from his pocket.
"No, no, just give me some honey when you collect it. Maybe you have more experience than me. I'm also trying it for the first time. If you have any good ideas, you can tell me." Xu Yuan quickly refused.
Seeing that Xu Yuan was unwilling to accept, Zhu Chongli and his companions could not force him, so they could only secretly make up their minds to make this matter a success.
Once the beekeeping is done, there is nothing else to do.
I usually weed the vegetable garden, apply fertilizer and water the plants.
I only took a look from time to time. Fortunately, there was some maltose at the entrance, so the bumblebees did not all fly away. Instead, they slowly began to build a nest inside the wooden box.
The tofu has been dried in the sun for several days and has lost a lot of moisture, and its color has turned yellow.
Add a bag of marinade to the dried tofu and simmer over low heat for half an hour, and the braised dried tofu is ready.
"Sister, I think your marinade package is amazing. Everything you cook with it tastes delicious!" Many people couldn't help but exclaim.
There were many Japanese sweets being eaten with delicious aroma, while people were shoveling rice with them.
"It's delicious. We'll make it next time."
……
Before we knew it, March had passed and it was Qingming Festival.
It is true that it rains heavily during the Qingming Festival.
It has been rainy these days and there is no place to go except staying at home.
With nothing to do in his spare time, Xu Yuan continued to prepare the marinade packets.
I wish I could get more this time and do something big.
Uncle Wang and his friends, who had been in Chunyang City for a long time, returned to the village today.
In the drizzle, Liu Zhushan left some cakes and bacon and then left.
"Sister, if it rains like this, will there be no nectar to collect?"
Xu Yuan hung the bacon by the kitchen window. Hearing Xu Zhi's words, he paused and looked out the window. "It shouldn't be. The rain isn't that heavy."
As long as there are flowers, there will be nectar to collect.
Make a wish and pack a certain amount of the prepared marinade into a cloth bag.
……
"Old Wei, how is Old Wang?"
Uncle Liu asked Doctor Wei who was bandaging the wound with a worried look on his face.
"Fortunately, there is no internal damage. It will be fine after resting for a while!"
"How come you came back injured after your trip?" Doctor Wei stood up and sprinkled the medicine powder on Uncle Liu's right arm.
"Oh, don't say anything. It's really too late. I didn't expect that the urban area of Cheng Chunyang City is so chaotic. If you set up a stall on the roadside, there will be thugs who will come up and shout at you to pay them. If you don't pay, they will start to smash the stall and make it impossible for you to do business." Uncle Liu said angrily.
"It was really infuriating. We didn't buy many baskets of eggs, but they were all smashed. I was so angry that I went up to argue with them."
"You guys are still impulsive. If I hadn't stopped you, what would have happened if someone died?" Liu Zhushan sighed.
If I hadn't stopped it immediately and drove out of the city gate, I really don't know if I would have been detained.
"It's so bullying, they just bully outsiders. The city lord is really a freeloader. If he can't do anything about it, he should just move away." Uncle Wang felt a pain in his heart when he thought of the small basket of smashed eggs. How many chickens had to lay such a basket of eggs, and all of them were gone in an instant.
"Dad, it's okay. Just think of it as giving away your money. As long as you're okay, I'm glad." Wang Shan comforted him.
"Fortunately, I listened to Miss Yuan and turned all the duck eggs into salted duck eggs. Otherwise, I don't know how much I would have lost if I took them with me." Uncle Wang sighed, and he felt a little better after thinking about it.
"What salted duck eggs?"
Doctor Wei put away the tools in his hands and asked curiously.
"Old Wei, come here, let me tell you in detail..." Uncle Wang pulled Doctor Wei to sit beside the bed and started chatting.
Wang Shan and Liu Zhushan looked at each other, nodded, and walked out together.
"Ashan, we have been out recently, so nothing happened at home, right?"
"Don't worry, I'm here, anything can happen."
Wang Shan patted his chest and said proudly.
"Father Liu, Uncle Ashan, Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Liu, are they all okay?" Li Juanhua and Zhu Xiaoque had been sitting in the main room. When they heard the noise outside, they immediately went out and asked anxiously.
"It's okay, it's just a minor injury, it will heal after a while."
"What are you sewing on your hands?"
Li Juanhua: "Let's help Sister Xuyuan sew bags for spices."
"Sister Xuyuan also calculated our wages." Zhu Xiaoque added.
"Okay, that's good. Then you do your best." Liu Zhushan nodded and did not ask how much the wages were. It was up to them to pay it.
Li Juanhua and Zhu Xiaoque nodded and went back to their room to sew.
"Oh, second brother, let me tell you, that girl who made a wish is truly a deity!"
When Wang Shan heard Juanhua and Xiaoque mention making a wish, he suddenly thought of something and couldn't wait to share it with Liu Zhushan.
"What happened?" Liu Zhushan also wanted to know what new thing the girl had done.
