The Vicious Fat Wife Dressed as a Disabled General

Chapter 222 Placement of Beehives
Xu was really tired after a busy day yesterday, Jiang Zhinuan didn't get up to exercise today for the first time, and slept until the sun rose.

When she got up, Di Qing and his uncle had already made breakfast, and Uncle Zhang also came with brother Shuang Zhu.

Today, they have one thing to do, and that is to move the ten beehives that have been prepared to the apiary, and prepare to attract bees for beekeeping.

After a simple breakfast, Jiang Zhinuan moved a beehive up the mountain with him. Di Qing was inconvenient in his legs and feet, so he stayed at home to take care of the children.

The four of them ran back and forth three times before moving all the things they needed up there.

Uncle Zhang was busy arranging the cabin for his son. When Jiang Zhinuan finally carried the honey up, the cabin had been cleaned very clean. The wooden bed was first covered with a thick layer of hay and then a mattress. Jiang Zhinuan Sit on it and try it, it is very soft.

"It's quite comfortable."

Uncle Zhang nodded: "Just make do with it outside, just put some hay on it and it won't be so hard."

Zhang Shuangzhu looked back and forth at the hut: "It's pretty good."

Jiang Zhinuan was afraid that he would be scared if he was alone on the mountain, so he said, "When you come up in the future, bring Dahei with you and let him be your companion."

"I think it is! With Dahei as a companion, there is something going on outside here. It's good to have a reminder, and it can also strengthen your courage."

Several people rested for a while on this mountain.

Zhang Abo was a little curious: "The beehives have been moved up, how do you attract the bees?"

"Let's go, let's all help out together."

Jiang Zhinuan stood up and walked out of the cabin with the honey in her arms. She first took out the foundations of the beehive one by one, and then dipped the honey into the foundations with chopsticks.

On this piece of nest foundation, there are densely packed honeycomb holes, at least there must be a hundred or so. Putting honey in with chopsticks bit by bit is a big project.

The key is that there is not much honey, which can barely fill the foundation of these nests.

With limited conditions, she could only use these clumsy methods to attract bees. The four of them did not stop, and it was already noon when the foundations of the ten beehives were covered with honey.

Jiang Zhinuan stood up and thumped his sore waist: "My God, it's finally fixed."

Uncle Zhang was also exhausted, sitting on a small stool and smoking a pipe.

"Brother Shuangzhu, hurry up, help Uncle Zhang down the mountain first, the smell of this dry smoke will affect the taste of honey."

Uncle Zhang was stunned for a moment and was about to put out the dry smoke.

Jiang Zhinuan just said: "It's fine for a while, we're done here, let's go down the mountain and wait, you finally lit it, let's smoke."

Uncle Zhang was a little embarrassed: "If you're tired, you can't help it."

Zhang Shuangzhu walked ahead with him, Jiang Zhinuan closed the door of the cabin, and followed behind with his uncle.

The uncle looked back from time to time: "Let's go now? When will the bees come?"

"Let's take a look tomorrow. We burned so many beehives before, and many wild bees have no home. They should come here looking for the smell. If there is a queen bee, they will nest in this beehive."

Uncle heard it in a daze. Anyway, what Jiang Zhinuan said made sense to him.

There is nothing to do in the afternoon.

Zhang Abo went back to the town to rest on his own on the bamboo raft. These days he helped Jiang Zhinuan a lot. Jiang Zhinuan also felt sorry for Zhang Abo. He knew that he would not be able to stay here, so he had to let Zhang Abo go back first. .

Zhang Shuangzhu followed his uncle to continue to reclaim wasteland on the mountain. The few plots opened up before have already been planted with crops, and some have even sprouted green seedlings.

The days gradually became normal, and Jiang Zhinuan rarely had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he took out the small piece of beeswax left over from the foundation of the nest.

On the dressing table, the rouge and gouache that Di Qing gave her gave her a sudden idea.

She can try to use beeswax to make some lip balm, which is much more convenient than licking that piece of red paper.

In the afternoon, there was nothing to do, so Jiang Zhinuan went up the mountain to find a few brightly colored wild flowers and came back. After putting the child to sleep, he sat at the table and started tinkering.

She first crushed the wild flowers in a small saucer, filtered out the colored juice, then melted the beeswax, stirred it with the juice, and finally put it in a small saucer to wait for it to cool.

Jiang Zhinuan once watched a video of making lip gloss, the steps are just such a step, but they added a lot of other things, anyway, she doesn't have the conditions, so she can only try it with the existing beeswax and wild flowers.

There was only a little bit of beeswax in Xiaodie, and it solidified quickly. After it solidified in the evening, Jiang Zhinuan couldn't wait to try the color on the back of his hand.

The eyes are shallow, a little dry, and hard.

The experiment has failed!

The beeswax is already hard after solidification, adding some flower juice can't change its shape, why didn't she think of this?

To make lip gloss, some oil should be added. The function of beeswax is to solidify, but it is not the main raw material.

What kind of fat can be used to do it?

Jiang Zhinuan only has soybean oil and lard to eat at the moment, which is definitely not enough.

The matter of making lip gloss can only come to an end temporarily, and we can only try it when we encounter suitable raw materials in the future.

the next day.

Jiang Zhinuan went to the bee farm on the mountain with Zhang Shuangzhu who stayed overnight in the reed marsh last night.

The two of them inspected the ten beehives that were installed yesterday, and there are already some bees in them. It is still effective to attract bees by the smell of honey, but the best way for bees to settle down is to Once you catch the queen bee and put it in, the worker bees will naturally follow.

The matter of catching the queen bee is left to Zhang Shuangzhu. Anyway, he has protective clothing, so he is not afraid of being stung by bees.

Jiang Zhinuan took his uncle to the town together.

She had to convert the ten catties of salt tickets in her hand into salt and buy them back when she was free.

The two of them walked to the entrance of the market together, when there was a mournful cry, Jiang Zhinuan froze for a moment, looking for the sound.

"Uncle, did you hear someone crying?"

Uncle nodded, and he pointed in a direction: "It seems to be over there."

"Go, take a look!"

Jiang Zhinuan was very curious, how could someone cry outside in such a clear day, she dragged her uncle towards the direction where the crying sound came from.

Turning around an alley, an old woman was crying bitterly in front of a shaft.

Jiang Zhinuan walked over quickly: "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

The old woman looked up at Jiang Zhinuan, didn't say anything, but cried even louder, as if she had suffered some great grievance.

But no matter how Jiang Zhinuan asked, the old woman just didn't say the reason.

The uncle tugged at her sleeve helplessly: "Forget it, people don't want to talk about it, so you don't want to ask, maybe there is something sad."
