portable space

Although there are several large honeycombs in the space, and a lot of honey has been collected, they are all placed in the space and allowed to grow naturally. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are wild. Zhang Taiping does not raise them himself.

Based on bee experience, first of all, how to make this beehive is a problem. It seems that I can only go to the beekeeper in the village, Mr. Wang, for advice.

After dinner, Zhang Taiping brought some ordinary honey from the bees in the space to Old Man Wang's house. Old Man Wang's children went out to live in the early years, but there was no news anymore, and only a four or five-year-old child remained at home.

She is a 14-year-old girl who has turned 14 or 15 years old in the past ten years. She is also a beautiful woman. As for Old Man Wang's real name, people have gradually forgotten it. At least Zhang Taiping doesn't know what his real name is.

As his son and daughter-in-law went out to work and gradually disappeared, Old Wang also gradually became silent and his temper became a bit weird. He rarely interacted with people in the village and focused on raising his granddaughter. With this background, he was a beekeeper.

The craftsmanship did not make the girl suffer any hardship, and she was still able to go to school.

When Zhang Taiping arrived, Huang followed him and entered the yard. As soon as Old Man Wang's thin dog barked and saw Huang behind Zhang Taiping, he got into me and hugged me into a ball, not daring to come out again.

Old man Wang who was cutting bees heard the sound and turned around to see Zhang Taiping walking in, and Ah Huang who came in leisurely. He frowned involuntarily and said, "What's the matter?"

We had close friendships and sold our honey to people outside, so we had fewer interactions with people in the village. Zhang Taiping's sudden arrival was naturally a bit unexpected and a bit unpleasant.

Zhang Taiping had heard about the old man's weird temper and didn't take his rude tone to heart. He said: "I also want to raise some bees, but I have no experience. Come here to learn."

Mr. Wang still has a weird temper, but he is not unkind. I have recently heard about what Zhang Taiping has done. He has indeed done some practical things for the village and made the villagers' lives easier. After hearing Zhang Taiping's intention, his face changed.

He softened a lot, but still said with a straight face: "See for yourself, but be careful not to get too close and get stung by bees."

After saying that, I was busy harvesting honey again. These days are when the flowers are blooming, and the nectar returned by the bees after working all day long is also the best honey in the year. And the nectar accumulates very quickly, every day

It needs to be cut once, so don't be careless.

Zhang Taiping didn't bother him, but just watched casually.

Old Man Wang has a total of twenty-three beehives here. They are placed in a circle in the corner of the yard. There are dense bees flying in the sky, and they are quite busy coming in and out. Zhang Taiping opened a box and looked at it. There was a net inside.

The honeycomb is covered with bees. It must be a honeycomb simulated by artificial breeding. When harvesting honey, just take it out and turn it over and cut from the back.

When honey first comes out, it is not in the viscous shape sold on the market, but almost lumpy. The higher the quality, the more obvious the condensation of honey. This freshly cut honey cannot be consumed immediately, and most people

For those who cannot bear it and have diarrhea, ordinary people can only take it after diluting it. What is sold on the market is diluted, but the difference lies in the degree of dilution.

Old Man Wang was a little surprised that Bee didn't react excessively to Zhang Taiping's actions, but he didn't say anything and continued to do his own thing.

When Zhang Taiping raised his head, he happened to see a girl in her prime, about fourteen or fifteen years old, standing at the door. She wore a girdle around her waist and her hair was simply tied back. She also held a shovel in her hand. This is Old Man Wang's.

My granddaughter, whose name I don’t know very well is Zhang Taiping, but standing at the door has a unique charm of a girl.

Today happens to be Saturday, and the girl who is attending junior high school has returned home. Children from poor families have long been in charge, and the old man and the girl depend on each other. The girl has been sensible and well-behaved for a long time. She is not very old, but she has developed a good cooking skill.

, I will come back and cook for grandpa on Sunday.

"I still don't know what your name is?" Zhang Taiping asked the girl standing at the door.

Although the girl became sensible early, she was still a teenage girl after all. She still couldn't let go in front of Zhang Taiping, so she whispered: "Wang Feng'er."

This name was chosen by Mr. Wang himself. He has been keeping bees all his life, and the name he gave his granddaughter also sounds homophonic to Bee'er.

"Good name." Zhang Taiping praised it and handed the thing in his hand over and said, "Take this in."

The girl was at a loss with the shovel. Old man Wang who was busy stopped and raised his head and asked: "What is this?"

Zhang Taiping smiled and said, "I didn't have anything when I came here, so I just brought some." He put it into the girl's hand.

Old Man Wang understood what he meant. Generally, villagers would bring some gifts when they go to other people's homes to ask for help.

While she was still thinking about whether to buy it, Wang Feng'er had already opened the bag and looked at it. A strong aroma immediately overflowed, "It smells so good." She couldn't help but exclaimed, and then she said in surprise, "Hey, it turns out to be...

Honey! Why does it smell so good?" He raised his clear eyes and looked at Zhang Taiping.

"Haha, this is the wild honey I collected in the mountains." Zhang Taiping replied with a smile.

When Old Man Wang heard that it was honey, he was a little curious. Wasn't Zhang Taiping playing a machete in front of Guan Gong's gate? He came to his home and delivered honey. He put down the tools at hand and came over to take a look.

Sure enough, there was a strong aroma. Old man Wang opened the lid of the bottle, and the aroma became even stronger. The bees around him smelled the aroma and gathered around. Old man Wang quickly closed the lid again. Several people entered the house and closed it.

After opening the door, Old Man Wang reopened the lid and observed it carefully.

As soon as she entered the house, Wang Feng'er hurriedly turned around and ran to the stove with a "yeah" sound. She was cooking just now and had forgotten about it when she went out. The house was now filled with a burning smell.

After opening the lid, the aroma escaping suppressed the smell of the burning pot in the house.

Old Man Wang observed and smelled it for a moment and said: "This is really the best honey. I have only seen bees in my life after raising bees for so many years. But is this really honey found in the mountains?"

Zhang Taiping nodded and affirmed: "Yes, that hive is as big as Lao Long. Both Old Man Qian and Wang Gui also know this."

When Old Man Wang heard that they were one meter square, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​going over to collect some honey. The wild bees in the mountains are not as easy to get along with as domestic bees. They are big and poisonous. If they are

A few stings can kill people. As for the method Zhang Taiping used to collect it, there is no need to ask further. It is a private secret method.

If it were anything else, Old Man Wang might not accept it, but he couldn't bear to refuse such good honey. As the saying goes, "Taking others with a soft hand, eating them with a short mouth", he then gave Zhang Taiping a detailed explanation of how to make beehives and some beekeeping techniques.

skills.

In the end, Old Man Wang probably still felt that he had taken advantage of Zhang Taiping and said, "If you have any questions about beekeeping in the future, just come to me."

Zhang Taiping nodded in agreement. In fact, the main reason he came today was to see how beehives are made. As for the skills of beekeeping, he believed that the ability of wild bees taken out from the space to adapt to the environment is not weak. They

In the past, it was self-sustaining and basically did not need anyone to manage it.

After talking about the business, Old Man Wang pointed at Ah Huang who was rubbing against Wang Feng'er and asked, "Is this the yellow dog you used to have? Why has it grown so big?"

Zhang Taiping also looked at Ah Huang and said, "Maybe it's because I didn't feed him enough in the past, but now that I'm well nourished, I'll naturally grow bigger." He himself was a little surprised, "This guy rarely gets so close to strangers.

Why are you so close to Wang Fenger today?"

"It's not considered a stranger anymore," Old Man Wang took a puff of dry cigarette and said with a smile, "It has only been missing for half a year. It used to come to the house frequently, and Feng'er would give it some food every time."

Zhang Taiping suddenly realized that he knew the situation at home in the past. Cai Yazhi rarely fed it, and basically just boiled some wheat bran. Moreover, it would be beaten by Zhang Taiping from time to time, so it often ran out.

I went to various courtyards and wandered around. Wang Feng'er saw that it was pitiful and fed it some food. After that, it came often, and Wang Feng'er would prepare something for it every time. Therefore, Wang Feng'er can be regarded as half the owner, so get closer to it.

It's also normal.

Old Man Wang said again: "I think your dog is a good one. Come and tell me which female dog you are married to, and I will go and get a puppy." Ah Huang is a male dog and cannot have puppies, so he can only watch it.

I bred with that family's dog and caught a pup.

"Okay, no problem." Zhang Taiping rejected Old Man Wang's idea of ​​staying for dinner.

When I got home, I started looking for wood to make my own beehives. I made a dozen of them, which were placed in a circle just outside the wooden door in the backyard. The artificial beehives inside had to be bought from a special place in the town.

The beehives were made the next day. Zhang Taiping did not delay and rode his motorcycle directly to the town to buy more than a dozen artificial honeycomb boards to put in the beehives. Along with them, he also bought various ripe watermelons and muskmelons in the space.

Take out the fruit and take home a big bag.

Every time Zhang Taiping brought back fruits, Cai Yazhi always suspected that Zhang Taiping would spend money arbitrarily. He just smiled and did not explain. He put all the fruits in the refrigerator, and tied up the unfinished watermelons with ropes and hung them in the courtyard.

The well is frozen inside, so it is best to take it out and cut it open at night.
