Chapter 220 When the linden tree flowers bloom with honey fragrance
Lu Lu squatted in front of the bee barrel and watched the bees enter for most of the time before returning to the cellar to continue eating.
Bee colonies that move in on their own like this are the easiest to raise and develop the fastest.
Judging from the number of this swarm of bees, it won't take long for them to become quite strong. Maybe they can get some honey after the linden tree's flowering period ends.
Thinking of the lime tree, Lu Lu couldn't help but look up at the lime tree next to him. After a few days, those tiny flower buds had grown a lot and were about to bloom.
It’s that time of year again when the linden trees bloom with their honey-scented flowers.
I haven't taken care of these black bees for several days.
After Lu Lu had eaten, he went to collect the bees he had collected. He opened the lid of the bee bucket and took a look. Except for the weaker group that had not yet produced males, the other groups already had many males.
Peak, and several royal towers have been built on the honeycomb.
Seeing that the tip of the capping platform began to turn yellow and turn black, Lu Lu knew that his swarms of bees would also be divided in the past few days.
He doesn't want too much human intervention, so the bees are divided naturally and the fittest survive, which is quite good.
If there are a few more swarms of bees, as long as they develop and grow this year, next year will be the time to really harvest honey.
In the next few days, we have to guard these swarms of bees. If the sub-swarm escapes, it will be a big loss.
Also take advantage of these few days to have a little rest.
Afterwards, Lu Lu went around the meadow again and saw that the deer had gathered among the trees on the hillside. As soon as he saw Lu Lu appearing, they immediately jumped into the distance.
In such a place, there were twelve sika deer, large and small, and he roughly estimated that the number was about the same.
Next year, the doe will give birth to more fawns, and the number will soon reach nearly twenty.
It doesn't matter if there are too many. The vegetation around the meadow may not be able to support so many mouths, so it needs to be fed manually. There are not enough manpower, and it will be too busy for the time being.
Anyway, the foundation has been established, and it is only a matter of time to expand the deer herd.
After thinking about it, he picked up the chain saw and went to the hillside to knock down a poplar tree. He cut two sections back, dug out a tree trough, set it up in the middle of the meadow, and put some salt in it.
There was no saline-alkali land in the meadow, so he could only provide the deer with salt himself to ensure their needs.
When Wang Yan came to cook, Lu Lu greeted him and told him that he had already eaten and there was no need to leave any food. Then he led the four Yuan Baoniangs, carrying Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, along the mountains and forests to Xiushan Tun. He was going to
Go and see your corn and seedlings.
I haven't seen it for several days and I don't know what it looks like.
Along the mountain forest, Lu Lu walked as if taking a walk.
In the mountain forest near the village, there are often people moving around. The forest trails are crisscrossed and criss-crossed. It is almost impossible to see any larger wild animals, and even those small animals are very few.
Along the way, not even Yuan Bao hummed.
Lu Lu didn't care. These areas were not hunting places at all. The reason why he walked into the mountains and forests was to try his luck.
When approaching the back mountain of Xiushan Tun, Yuan Bao suddenly shouted.
Lu Lu looked up and found that walking through the forest were the two Shandong men who had asked him to help kill the blind bear and capture the cub.
When they heard the dog barking, the two of them also saw Lu Lu, but they only glanced at him before turning to the mountains and leaving in a hurry.
Judging from the appearance of the two of them, the clothes they were wearing were brand new, and one of them was carrying a No. 16 single barrel. It seemed that the little bear had been caught and sold, and the money was obtained to buy a gun.
But, didn't they settle in the mountains and forests near Huilong Tun? Why did they wander around in the mountains behind Xiushan Tun?
Judging from the last incident of killing the blind bear, these two people are definitely not easy to get along with.
If they didn't have guns in their hands, they would definitely be in trouble.
"You have to be more careful in the future!"
Lu Lu sounded the alarm in his heart.
They are also looking for a living in the mountains. If they encounter each other again, if there is a dispute, there are people on hand. I am afraid they will not choose to swallow their anger like last time.
Unexpectedly, after walking a short distance, Yuan Bao screamed again. Lu Lu turned his head and looked carefully, and found that the one making the noise walking in the forest was Huang Caiju, the daughter-in-law of beekeeper Sun Hanwei.
It's not that far away from where they keep bees. From the looks of it, she's picking wild vegetables in the mountains.
Hearing the barking of the dog, Huang Caiju looked nervously towards Lu Lu. When she saw clearly that it was Lu Lu who came out, she let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's Brother Lu, are you hunting in the mountains?"
After all, they had met once before, so they knew each other, and they were both educated youths, so they smiled at Lu Lu and said hello.
"I'm just wandering around and stopping by to see how the crops are growing... Sister, are you going up the mountain to pick wild vegetables?"
Lu Lu also asked casually.
"I have nothing to do these days. I have nothing to do. I just go out and have a look. The wild vegetables in the mountains are not easy to eat in the city. I go to the mountains to pick some every day. I save money on buying vegetables and they are still fresh." Huang Caiju
Said with a smile.
"Then you're busy...I'm going down to the fields."
In the mountains and fields, Lu Lu didn't want to talk to other people's women, especially Sun Hanwei's women. He had gone to the farm to borrow seeds from him.
If this is seen, it would be troublesome if we get involved again!
After Lu Lu finished speaking, he left.
"Brother Lu...wait!"
Huang Caiju's voice came from behind, and Lu Lu couldn't help but frown slightly.
He stopped and looked back, only to see Huang Caiju hesitate for a moment and then walk over quickly.
However, when she arrived in front of Lu Lu, Huang Caiju lowered her head, blushed, squirmed for a while, and stopped talking.
"Sister, what's going on?" Lu Lu couldn't help but ask.
"It's just...he came to your cellar to look for you. He already told me..."
Huang Caiju was urged by Lu Lu, looked up at Lu Lu, and said with difficulty.
Before she could finish her words, Lu Lu immediately shook his head: "Stop talking, there is no way I can agree to this!"
After saying that, Lu Lu turned around and left. Even though Huang Caiju called several times from behind, he never stopped at all. He kept walking downwards and slowed down when no one could be seen.
I really don’t know what these two couples are thinking...
Originally, the slope where Sun Hanwei kept the bees was right next to the mountain path going down from the back mountain, and Lu Lu also deliberately avoided it.
I went to the corn field and took a look. Most of the corn seedlings had grown out. Everywhere I looked, there was fresh green.
This is better looking than those of several surrounding families.
It is worthy of being obtained by the head of the old village.
I looked around and saw that in addition to the corn seedlings, there was also a layer of fine grass.
Lu Lu estimated that after ten more days of growth, it would be time to weed.
Afterwards, he went down to the field below to look at the rice seedlings he had planted. After a few days, the changes in the rice field were even greater, and the whole field was already green.
Those seedlings have grown up a lot, which is very gratifying. There are still people helping to control the fields and water, which is doing well.
He hasn't asked Chen Xiuqing if he was helping in this matter. If it was someone else, he would have to thank him.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a person walking along the ditch in the distance. I took a closer look and found that it was Zhang Shaofeng.
"Brother Feng..." Lu Lu called out from a distance.
Zhang Shaofeng was fishing for debris along the ditch. When he heard Lu Lu calling him, he also smiled at Lu Lu and called: "Brother!"
He walked quickly along the ditch, and Lu Lu also greeted him.
"What are you doing?" Lu Lu asked with a smile.
"Fill out the ditch...the weather may change in the next two days. Make preparations in advance to avoid heavy rain, which will be troublesome." Zhang Shaofeng said with a smile.
"How did you know the weather was going to change?"
Lu Lu raised his head and looked at the sky. The sky was clear and blue again, and there was no sign that it was going to change.
"My dad's leg hurts again. It's very accurate. As soon as he starts to complain about pain in his leg, the weather will definitely change... Why are you free to come here today?"
"I'm here to take a look at the rice field water."
"It's up to you to take care of this little thing, I'll take care of it for you."
"You've been helping me look at it?"
Lu Lu didn't expect that there was really someone else.
"We use water from the same ditch. By the way... sit and chat for a while. I have something to tell you."
Zhang Shaofeng said and sat down on the field ridge.
