The Vicious Fat Wife Dressed as a Disabled General

Chapter 198 Choosing a Beekeeping Site

Beeswax is insoluble in water, but the fluidity of water will also change the shape of uncured beeswax. She can only hold the mold with both hands, and only let the bottom of the mold soak in the water, using the temperature of the river to quickly cool and solidify.

Although this can speed up the curing, it is roughly estimated that it will take at least two or three hours to completely cure and release the mold. Jiang Zhinuan is lying here like this, holding one mold at a time. It is better to just put it there and wait for her after lying down for a whole day. The convenience of natural curing.

"You can't lie on your stomach like this, is it possible that you want to lie here for a whole day?"

Jiang Zhinuan is also a little helpless, she can't really lie here for a whole day, she has other things to do today, but if she gives up such solidification and just waits for natural time, it will be too slow.

Uncle helped her up: "Get up, it's cold on the ground, you go make breakfast first, I'll find a way for you."

"Uncle has an idea?"

"What? Don't believe me?"

Jiang Zhinuan quickly smiled and waved his hands: "No, no, believe me, then I will leave it to uncle, and I will make breakfast first."

For breakfast, Jiang Zhinuan boiled a pot of rice porridge, picked up a few eggs in the reeds, washed them, threw them into the rice porridge and cooked them together, and baked a few soft and glutinous wild onion pancakes, and the arrangements were made.

Of course, she didn't forget to drive the lactating ewes into the special shelf yesterday, squeezed some goat milk and boiled it at high temperature for the two children to drink.

Mammals have a limited lactation period, lambs are not too young, and visual rations will not last long, so such nutritious things should not be wasted, and sometimes they must be drunk quickly.

Of course, these three little milk dogs are also full. Jiang Zhinuan did not treat the ewe badly. He cut fresh grass with dewdrops and sent it to its mouth early in the morning. When the ewe saw Jiang Zhinuan I didn't mean to hurt it and the little lamb, and it didn't make any fuss when the little milk dog came to drink milk.

Everything is going in the right direction.

After breakfast, Zhang Shuangzhu came here alone on a bamboo raft. He said that the haggis soup he brought back last night was very popular with his elder brother and his father-in-law.

I entrust him to thank Jiang Zhinuan.

Jiang Zhinuan waved her hand, she got this food for free, and she couldn't finish it by herself, so it's right to share it, there's nothing to thank.

Zhang Shuangzhu is an honest person, and he asked himself what he should do today when he came here.

Jiang Zhinuan could only ask him to follow Di Qing and the others to help repair the awning boat.

Uncle said to help her solve the solidification of the beeswax, cleaned the pots and dishes, and asked the two children to play by themselves, and she couldn't wait to go to the river.

Uncle and Zhang Shuangzhu were already squatting by the river, and when she got closer, she saw a rectangular bamboo cover floating on the river.

There are also ropes tied around these sides to fix the bamboo cover on the river.

"This is?"

"Quick, you're here just in time, put your mold on and try it out."

Jiang Zhinuan had no choice but to carefully hand over the mold filled with beeswax, and then Zhang Shuangzhu, who was lying on the ground, sent the mold to the bamboo cover in the river.

This bamboo cover was made by Jiang Zhinuan's uncle when he was making breakfast. It uses Di Qing's sun-dried bamboo. It is very light in weight and has great buoyancy.

After a mold was put on, the bamboo cover floated steadily on the river, and the mold didn't even touch the water.

The uncle turned around and stretched out his hand to Jiang Zhinuan: "Come on, continue to hand over the mold."

Jiang Zhinuan passed six or seven molds in a row, and the bamboo cover seemed to sink a little bit, and the bottom of the mold was considered to be stained with river water.

After the ten molds were put on, the river water completely submerged the bottom of the molds through the bamboo cover.

Jiang Zhinuan looked at it, his eyes lit up, he gave his uncle a thumbs up and praised his uncle again and again: "Uncle, your method is really ingenious!"

The uncle raised his eyebrows: "Uncle said everything, and uncle will solve it for you, so that you don't have to lie here and wait for it to solidify."

"This is really time-saving and labor-saving. Ten molds can be cooled and solidified together at one time. In this way, at least thirty or fifty nest foundations can be removed in one day."

Zhang Shuangzhu looked very happy.

If the nest foundation can be made as soon as possible, he can also start raising bees as soon as possible.

"Brother Shuangzhu, how about it, I will trouble you to demould these nest foundations here today, just as I spared time to go up the mountain with Uncle Zhang to confirm the final place."

Zhang Shuangzhu nodded: "Okay, I'll stay at home, and I can help Di Qing when it's solidified. After it's solidified, I'll remove the mold and re-cast it."

"Success, I will leave these to you."

The amount of beeswax in their hands can be completely removed into the foundations in a day or two. She has already estimated that this amount of beeswax can remove more than eighty pieces of foundations and make ten beehives.

At that time, these ten beehives will be raised first, and if there is any room for improvement, it is better to operate on the remaining ten beehives.

So right now, they need to determine the place where the bees are kept.

Uncle Zhang and Brother Shuangzhu had already selected many places on the mountain in the past two days, but Jiang Zhinuan had to decide which place to choose. After all, this bee farm was advocated by her, and Zhang Shuangzhu was hired by her to keep bees. Yes, even according to what Jiang Zhinuan said, she only needs to make roast duck honey, and let Zhang Shuangzhu sell the rest to make money, and that Zhang Shuangzhu is at most just a contributing partner.

Both Zhang Abo and Zhang Shuangzhu are real people, and they all thought that Jiang Zhinuan must decide this place in the end.

Jiang Zhinuan had no choice but to go up the mountain with Uncle Zhang in his free time today.

Several places have been selected, and they rushed to the destination, and the time was much faster.

The two climbed all the way to the top of the mountain. There is a flat land behind the top of the mountain. On the flat land is a fertile grassland. Uncle Zhang pointed to the grassland and introduced: "Don't look at the grass now. After a while, there will be a sea of ​​flowers here." .”

"Flower sea?"

Jiang Zhinuan took a closer look, and sure enough, among the green leaves were some flower buds that had sprouted.

This decision is an excellent place for beekeeping!

A sea of ​​flowers will naturally attract bees, and the yield of honey will be high.

But the only downside is that it is a bit far away from where they live, and it took almost an hour for them to climb up without resting all the way just now.

Letting Zhang Shuangzhu raise bees on the top of the mountain alone, not to mention the loneliness, she was afraid that Zhang Shuangzhu would be scared by himself. After all, most of the time, he would live here, and he couldn't climb up and down every day.

"Uncle Zhang, this place is nice, but it's a bit far away. Didn't we agree at the beginning that it should be closer to where we live, so it's not convenient for Brother Shuangzhu to eat or come back to live?"

"This place was discovered by accident. It's really good, so I'll take it as an alternative. Of course, there are several other places. Let's take a look and choose the best ones. You don't have to think about eating and sleeping. The second child is young and strong. It doesn't matter how much you run."

Jiang Zhinuan nodded and followed Zhang Abo down the mountain. Along the way, Zhang Abo took her to see several flat lands, all of which were not bad. The mountain is full of wild flowers when summer comes, but there is no place where the sea of ​​flowers on the top of the mountain is concentrated. out of place.

Speaking of which, the best place is still on the top of the mountain, Jiang Zhinuan was a little confused: "Uncle Zhang, which place do you think is more suitable?"

She threw this difficult problem out, hoping that Uncle Zhang could help her make a decision.
