The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 135, Honey and Tea
At around nine o'clock, after coming out of the hospital, Li Weiguo rode directly home.

Over at the hospital, Zhao Guobing has a nurse and two brothers Zhou Can taking care of him, so he doesn't need to worry too much. Although he is seriously injured, he can still take care of himself, as long as Li Weiguo and Zhou Can take turns bringing him a meal these two days. become.

Back in the courtyard, the courtyard felt much deserted than usual.

Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and many neighbors started going out to visit relatives from today, so there were fewer people in the yard.

For example, the family of the third master across the door, I don’t know which relatives they are from. Anyway, the whole family has gone out at the moment, and the neighbors from other families are not there. There is only Li Weiguo in the front yard, and it is deserted.

The Silly Zhu brother and sister in the middle courtyard are not here either, only the first man and his wife and Jia Dongxu's family are at home.

Back in his own house, Li Weiguo lit the stove, sat at home and drank tea for a while, feeling really bored.

A person in a daze at home might as well enter the space to farm, and then sneak into the secret space.

After entering the space, Li Weiguo took a rough look at the development of the space and was quite satisfied.

The wheat, corn, sweet potato and half acre of vegetables grown in the farmland can be harvested and sown automatically on a regular basis.

The farmed chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, sheep and rabbits are now being farmed at full capacity. They can automatically breed, feed, slaughter and store, and they are basically on the right track. He doesn't need to worry about it at all, which is very convenient.

After looking around at the development of poultry, livestock and farmland, Li Wei looked at the half-acre medicine field and one-acre orchard.

The orchard is the fruit seedlings from Wang Mancang of the commune when I crossed over last year. At the beginning, there were only twelve seedlings. After more than half a year of planting and cultivation, the one-acre orchard has been filled with fruit trees, with a total of 180 trees.

Apples, peaches, dates, cherries, walnuts, chestnuts, [-] trees of each of the six kinds.

The longest ones have been planted for seven years, and the latest ones have been planted for three or four years. They were all planted by Li Weiguo after the first batch of fruit trees were harvested.

With the current planting situation of the orchard, one round can be harvested every other month, and the six kinds of fruits can be harvested by several thousand catties, which can be eaten up. Except for a small amount of food left for oneself or as a gift, most of them are used for feeding For livestock, there is no way, they can't stay in the warehouse to eat ashes, right?

After seeing the fruit trees, Li Weiguo looked at the twelve-frame beehives placed in the center of the orchard.

After five or six years of reproduction in the space, the number of bees in the space has grown to [-] to [-] bees, and the twelve-frame beehive has almost reached its breeding limit.

This 24-frame beehive was custom-made by Li Weiguo. Ever since the bees moved in, they have never collected honey once. Up to now, a second layer of successor boxes has been added to the original [-]-frame beehive, making a total of [-] beehives. nest frame.

This large colony of bees has been breeding for so long, so there must be a lot of honey.

Today he wants to open the box to see how much stock is stored in it.

Just do it.

Li Weiguo went straight to the beehive. As soon as he approached, hundreds of bees in the beehive found him, and a large "buzzing" flew out, flying around Li Weiguo densely, which was very spectacular.

Without stopping, Li Weiguo continued to approach the beehive. He could control everything in space with his thoughts, and it was easy to isolate the bees from approaching, and he was not too worried about being stung by the bees.

Walking in front of the beehive, Li Weiguo used his mind to arrange the bees flying around him to a distance of two meters, and then began to open the cover.

Open the top layer of the box cover, and the twelve nest frames in the upper layer of the successor box are exposed, and the honeycomb above is still clinging to the densely clinging bees.

Take out the honey spleen, use your mind to gently push away the bees clinging to it, and gently peel off the cocoon skin on it, and the honey on the honey spleen will be revealed.

Brown-yellow honey, crystal clear, viscous and rich, with a strong sweetness piercing the nostrils.

Li Weiguo was also greedy looking at it, he took a little bit of honey lightly with his hand, put it in his mouth and tasted it.

Hmm. Sweet, very sweet, cloying kind.

This is a good thing, nutritious and delicious, whether you keep it for yourself or give it as a gift, it is very good.

I glanced at the honey in the beehive with my mind. It was almost more than 100 kilograms. There was a lot of honey stored and it was ready to be taken.

So Li Weiguo took out a large pottery jar from the static warehouse and began to fill it with honey.

This big pottery jar was specially used to hold pickles at home, and it has not been used for a long time. After cleaning, Li Weiguo has been throwing it in the static warehouse, and it just happens to be used at this moment.

A full pottery jar can hold almost a hundred catties, which is enough to collect the honey.

However, Li Weiguo never collected all of them at once. He only bought 20 catties and then stopped. The remaining [-] catties of honey were not going to be taken. He had to save some for the bees. After all, bees also had to reproduce and consume.

Anyway, with the flow rate of the space, no matter how hard he eats alone, he can't keep up with the speed of the bees making honey, so he will come to get it when he needs it.

After taking the honey, Li Weiguo looked at the half-acre medicine field in the space.

After getting the seeds of tea trees and medicinal herbs from the seed shop in October, Li Weiguo buried the seeds and didn't take much care of them, letting them grow freely.

Fortunately, the land in the space is very fertile, and the medicinal materials planted basically survived.

Medicinal materials such as ginseng, Codonopsis pilosula, and Dendrobium officinale are all growing well, green and full of vitality.

What is even more surprising is that the [-] tea trees planted by Li Weiguo back then have all grown up. After three months outside, they have been planted in the space for three years, and they can already be picked in small quantities.

Looking at the green leaves and tender buds on the tea trees, Li Weiguo immediately picked some tea leaves from twenty tea trees and packed them in a small dustpan.

Considering that the tea trees have not been formed for a long time, and they are afraid of affecting the subsequent development of the tea trees, they did not pick too much. A total of [-] tea trees took half a catty of young leaves.

After another month or two, when the tea tree grows to four or five years old and enters the mature stage, he will be able to fully realize the freedom of tea.

It's beautiful when you think about it
Looking at the half a catty of young leaves in the dustpan in his hand, Li Weiguo was in a very good mood.

Tea is a rare commodity these days, and even high-ranking cadres don't get a lot of rations every year.

When ordinary people come to the door, they can take out some "high broken" to treat them, which can be regarded as a high standard, let alone such a good tea as he has in his hand.

Just as Li Weiguo was thinking about how to fry these tea leaves, suddenly, the secret space sent an alarm to him.

There was a knock on the door outside the house.

Li Weiguo looked solemn and did not dare to delay. He immediately took the tea back to the static warehouse and thought about it later.

Then he dodged and went outside.
