Chapter 124 The day when bees danced with honey (first update)
Lu Lu breathed a long sigh of relief and finally kicked the woman out.
I just hope she has sense and won't step into this meadow next time.
As for Zhou Fangjing, Lu Lu didn't want to worry about it.
I just vaguely felt that when I met Zhou Fangjing in my previous life, his wife was not this woman, and something must have happened during that time.
Given Zhou Fangjing's situation, it was impossible to support this woman. It would be a matter of time before something went wrong.
As for how he left, Lu Lu seemed to have never heard anyone mention it in his previous life, which was a bit strange.
Putting aside all these things in his mind, Lu Lu walked towards his barrels of black bees, preparing to check the situation.
Taking advantage of the sunny and warm weather, Lu Lu opened the lid of the bee bucket and found that the bees had fixed the honeycombs tied to the guide base bars to the guide base wooden bars. He began to remove the twine tied to them one by one.
During the inspection, he also saw two particularly vigorous swarms of black bees, which had begun to build larger nest holes on the honeycomb, indicating that they were about to flourish.
The emergence of males means that swarms of bees will begin soon.
Every household in the mountains will raise a few hens. Once you raise chickens, it seems that the money will never be exhausted. Although it is not much, the water will flow. The yard with the chickens flapping around seems to be a lot more lively.
, the days became much more practical.
Looking at the results of this day, Lu Lu was filled with joy. This was a very solid feeling.
The status of local chickens is not low these days. They are known as the "chicken butt bank".
Normally, I would be reluctant to slaughter, unless there are important guests who need to be entertained.
When farming, you still have to work with the people in the village. At least it can play a role in sharing the damage.
Lu Lu quickly stopped: "Sister-in-law, please stop working. It would be great to leave the hen to lay eggs. When I came over, I brought a roe deer over to eat this..." He pointed to the sack next to him.
Lu Lu had a lot of contact with her in her previous life, and she also helped when her family's mountain goods purchasing point was opened. She had a very good relationship with Chen Xiuyu, and she told Zhang Shaofeng to help deal with many of the difficulties they encountered.
The five swarms of black bees we keep may be affected by the smell and become chaotic. If they get into a fight, the gain will outweigh the loss.
Along the way into the village, Lu Lu simply said hello to everyone he met. When he arrived at the village, he turned to Zhang Shaofeng's home.
The only difference is that the bigger one has a mole behind the pinna of the left ear.
If you want land, you have to cultivate it yourself.
As soon as he saw Lu Lu, Zhang Shaofeng thrust the horse's rope into his wife's hand, hurried a few steps forward, opened the courtyard door, put his arm around Lu Lu's shoulders and started to walk into the courtyard: "Let's go, let's go, hurry up."
Enter the house..." He turned around and said to his wife: "Daughter-in-law, Brother Lu is here for a rare visit. He will butcher a hen later. I want to have a good meal with him tonight."
Seeing that it was almost time, Lu Lu went up to the ridge, greeted Wang Dalong, and asked them to divide the roe deer that had been blasted with single beans and take them home. He himself packed the one with the single beans in a sack and went straight to
Go to Xiushan Village.
He melted the beeswax in the iron pot again, then tied a grass brush with urala grass, moved the bee buckets that had been made for a period of time back to the underground cellar, and dipped them one by one in the barrels and at the door of the nest.
Brush it with beeswax and bake it on an earth stove to let the beeswax blend into the wood.
Coat the bee bucket with beeswax. Attracted by the smell of beeswax in the bee bucket during the bee harvesting season, the scout bees will enter the bee bucket to check. After confirming that it is suitable, they will lead the bees to move in directly.
He just stayed in Xiushantun, he had no land.
On weekdays, there is nothing wrong. Everyone is busy opening land and working hard towards the goal of filling the warehouse with grain.
Each bee bucket has a faint aroma of beeswax mixed with honey. Lu Lu believes that as long as a black bee finds this bee bucket, he will happily move in.
Next, Lu Lu moved the bee buckets out of the cellar one by one, found a location on the hillside where bees were kept on the left, and set them up one by one.
After all this busy work, it was already evening in a blink of an eye.
But planting crops on the meadow alone is quite exciting.
After struggling for more than an hour, Lu Lu got a wax cake weighing more than two kilograms in the small wooden barrel used to receive it.
"Hmm...okay!"
Lu Lu remembered this clearly.
But looking around Xiushan Village, the places where fields can be opened have already been owned.
This is the reason why Lu Lu doesn’t cook it outside.
Lu Lu also wanted to farm. With food, at least the rations for humans and animals would not have to be so troublesome as having to go to the district to exchange tickets to buy them.
He looked forward to the day when bees would dance here and the fragrance of honey would come.
Attracted by the aroma emitted when the wax was boiling, black bees would worm their way in through the cracks in the small windows from time to time and buzz around in the cellar.
As he expected, there was no one at Zhang Shaofeng's home.
But Caodianzi, where the cellar is located, is too far from the village.
For Lu Lu, its greatest function is to lure bees.
There were a lot of wild animals around, and it was impossible for him to keep watch here all the time. If he went out for a while, he might be harmed by many rats, badgers, wild boars, and the like.
He could only suppress this idea temporarily.
Beeswax has many uses. It is often used for batik dyeing on the costumes of ethnic minorities in the south, and it also has some industrial uses.
Zhang Shaofeng's daughter-in-law responded with a smile.
The bee trap bucket is finished!
The remaining nearly twenty bee barrels were waxed and baked. It took Lu Lu nearly two hours to complete.
The two little guys are very strong and look exactly the same. The older one is named Zhang Tianhua and the younger one is named Zhang Tianyu.
Lu Lu simply waited at the door. It was already approaching evening, but he didn't wait long before Zhang Shaofeng and his family came back from the fields in a carriage, all looking disgraced.
This is much easier than going into the mountains to find bees.
This is a very simple woman who talks very little and is diligent in her hands and feet.
When the soil in the meadow is turned over, it turns out to be thick, fertile black soil. When planting in this kind of land, there is no need to consider the issue of fertilizers. As long as there are no natural disasters, you can get a good harvest, whether it is corn or rice.
During this period of time, I was busy farming. I saw along the way that the fields were full of people driving horses and oxen to plow and sow. Even though it was already evening, they still refused to stop.
Lu Lu thought for a moment, returned to the underground cellar, cleaned his iron pot, lit firewood in the earthen stove, added water to the iron pot to boil the old beehives that had been retained, and then filtered.
"Brother, you finally remembered me!"
However, there is no use thinking about this now.
Bees are very sensitive to the smell of beeswax.
When they heard that there were roe deer, their twin sons jumped up excitedly: "Okay... okay... we can eat roe deer meat!"
In order to distinguish the two brothers, he often pulled the ears of the two little guys.
So much so that later on, whenever the two brothers saw Lu Lu, the first thing they did was to announce their names, and they were both scared.
"You can just come, why bother?"
Zhang Shaofeng smiled and led Lu Lu into the house.
