However, Song Sancheng still felt a little sorry for the milkvetch: "If you rush it in such a hurry, if you don't turn it over and dry it, the milkvetch in the field will come out again. Don't you have to pull it out?"
"And isn't it blooming? I see the bees buzzing with joy, and I don't know how much honey they produce. Even if we can't sell vegetables, it's still good to leave it to the bees."
It is the nature of farmers to cherish everything that can be put into their mouths. Song Tan was not in a hurry and slowly advised:
"It's okay, Dad, I plan to plant water spinach, onions, ginger, garlic, etc. in that piece of land. If I plant it now, I can start harvesting it in a month. Then I will take the time to remove the weeds... Let's make money first!"
The spiritual energy acts on the new crops, making them stronger and more capable of absorbing nutrients. Naturally, there is no room for weeds to grow.
"As for the bees... Dad, they have been blooming for a day or two. There is only one field to supply our bees, which were originally responsible for fifteen acres of flower fields - how can we supply them here?"
I bought five boxes of bees at once. After this period of feeding, I am afraid there will be more than 20,000 bees. At the end of the day, I am afraid the fields will be empty of pollen.
"But don't worry, our fields are going down in sequence. I think the fields above are about to bloom, so they won't be hungry."
Song Tan had already arranged this, and Song Sancheng had no choice but to agree.
Then he looked at her, hesitated for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Can I plant two rows of tobacco leaves for your father in that corner alone?"
"Our land is fertile this year and the tobacco leaves are growing well. Your grandfather is good at this. Look at how busy he is with our family..."
Song Tan sighed.
Yes, they often smoke less when they are busy. The father and son have the same virtue.
But if she doesn’t grow tobacco, her grandfather will grow it outside the door...
Song Tan thought for a while and suddenly smiled meaningfully: "Okay!"
Zhang Yanping looked numbly at this fair-skinned and pretty little cousin, who opened her mouth but made so many arrangements in one meal, and could only wear a mask of pain:
“I finally know why Tao Yuanming ‘plants beans at the foot of the southern mountain, but the grass grows and the bean seedlings are sparse’…”
Because farming is really not something ordinary people can do.
…
Brother Yanping's painful transformation is still going on. His grandfather Song Youde went with Song Sancheng to help build the doghouse, while his grandmother Wang Lifen couldn't stop making money. After lunch, she stepped over the basket and rushed to the mountain!
Seeing this made Wu Lan anxious for a while. After finishing eating, he pushed the bowl away and quickly ordered Qiao Qiao to wash the dishes.
Song Tan was not idle either.
A group of ducklings and chickens occupy the corner space in the yard, chirping and quacking, feeling the lingering aura of the yard every day. They are vigorous and lively and cannot be ignored.
It's just that they grow faster as they eat more, and now they have begun to gradually lose their lovely yellow fluff, and their appearance has downgraded.
Song Tan called the king over and touched its head affectionately:
"Come on, Your Majesty, watch them. Tomorrow we will start sending the chickens and ducks up the mountain. They are all in the fence. You have to watch them carefully."
"This is your job. If you do the work, you will be rewarded, enough for you to enjoy."
In the past two days since the king came back, he has been very well-behaved and doesn't seem to eat much. Wu Lan even muttered that he ate too little...
In fact, dogs are also spiritual.
It knows that it was given away because it ate too much and the previous owner could not afford to feed it, so it has not recovered its true appetite.
After hearing this, he moved his front paws, readjusted his posture, and subconsciously shook his thick tail against the ground. Then he stared at the chickens and ducks in the circle with his bright eyes, and shouted from his throat.
A low voice:
"Woof!"
"Don't be afraid of a lonely dog. When these three puppies are older, I will share them with you and teach them well."
Suddenly, another heavy soft object fell on its tail. The king looked back and saw that it was indeed one of the Five, Six, and Seven Treasures. At this moment, he was trying hard to pull the tip of its tail, shaking his head, and trying to kill it with all his strength.
By the time Qiao Qiao had tidied up the kitchen, Song Tan had already brought a large cylindrical bucket out of the room.
The big bucket was brand new and bright, and there was a shaker on the side. In the other hand, he held a basin with two layers of filters, a brush, and a thin, sharp knife.
Then he handed the basin to Qiaoqiao:
"Let's go, Qiaoqiao, let's go harvest honey."
Qiaoqiao cheered instantly and quickly took the basin. Halfway through, she suddenly asked: "What is cutting honey? Do you want to cut off the bees?"
Song Tan: ...If I had known earlier, I would have said it.
But this also reminded her: "Just wait a moment."
She went back inside and took out a gauze hood and a pair of rubber gloves.
"Here, put on your hood and gloves to avoid getting stung by bees again."
The painful memory of the last time was still before her eyes, so Qiao Qiao quickly put it on and tied the gauze of the hood tightly around her neck, for fear that a fish might slip in.
The beehives are on the mountain path at the back of the mountain, placed in steps every five meters.
There is enough milkvetch in the fields now for them to eat and drink, but there are not many bees here.
However, this is only relatively speaking.
There was still a lot of buzzing around the beehive. Qiao Qiao stood there and hesitated for a while before following.
"Come on, study hard. When you become proficient in it, this task will be handed over to you."
Everyone in the family has work to do. Although Qiao Qiao does a lot, she doesn't have a specific business and is always lacking.
When it comes to shaking honey, there isn't much danger if the protection is done well, so it's still very suitable for Qiao Qiao.
Qiaoqiao was really excited and excited, and nodded heavily: "Yes!"
The two walked to the mountain, first found a flat stone and placed the basin on it, and then placed the vat aside.
He opened the asbestos tiles covering the top of the bellows to protect him from wind and rain, and then opened the lid. The next moment, Qiao Qiao shouted "Ah"!
Then he looked at Song Tan: "Sister, don't you want a hat?"
Song Tan shook his head: "Sister is the most powerful in the world, no need."
This is something that the beekeeper has given detailed instructions in videos before. Even though it was the first time for Song Tan to do it, he acted like a veteran.
The main reason is that she has no fear of bees. At this moment, she is fighting with bare hands, and her movements are relaxed and casual.
Inside each beehive are five wooden frames, with honeycombs cast by the bees on top.
She first picked out a piece, and then directed Qiaoqiao to get a brush: "Come on, be gentle and brush all the bees off the nest."
The nest spleen is dark and light yellow.
The creamy yellow color is the layer of beeswax on top, and the whitish layer below is where the larvae are hatching. The darker yellow color is the unique color of honey, and the larvae have not had time to give birth to so many.
The air is instantly filled with the unique sweet taste of honey, which is refreshing.
However, there are still many bees clinging to the spleens on both sides of the nest, but they have not flown away yet. You need to use a very soft brush to gently brush them away.
Qiaoqiao hesitated: "Is this their home? Do we want to drive them away?"
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Thank you for your support!
The process of shaking honey should be quite standard if everyone follows Qiao Qiao. But...if you imitate it, you will be responsible for the consequences.
Another note: Now that I’ve exhausted my monthly subscriptions, I’ll find a good sister and good friend to recommend to you tomorrow!
No more, come to the comment section next!
It's true that I'm not in good condition after staying up late, so I won't stay up tonight.
