Chapter 42

It was finally time for the first batch of honey to be collected. Ruan Zhixuan notified Wu Yunan one day in advance, and the two families rushed to the mountain early the next morning.

This is the time when the flowers are blooming, and busy bees can be seen everywhere. Wu Yunan wears a bamboo hat with a veil hanging down her head and gloves on her hands, lest she be attacked by bees when cutting honey, except for Ruan Zhixuan , the rest of the people are almost dressed like this.

No one is as tough as Grandma Wu's aunt, who dared to let so many bees land on her body, just looking at it would frighten people's nerves.

"Where do we start first?" Ruan Zhixuan glanced at Wu Yunan. At first, the beehives of the two families were next to each other, which was convenient for Wu Yunan to learn how to raise them. Of course, the beehives also came together.

"Xuan'er, come here first, let's take a look and learn a little bit." The patriarch also came along, and brought a few good guys, all of whom came to help, and let's take a look at the freshness and see how this honey is made. from.

"That works." Ruan Zhixuan did not shirk, walked to her own beehive, started from the top one, and took out a frame from the beehive, which was densely covered with bees.

The onlookers couldn't help but backed away for a long distance, it would be terrible if this thing flew out all of a sudden and stinged people!
Ruan Zhixuan shook the frame in her hand, most of the bees fell down, and the rest of the stubborn ones need to be gently swept down with a soft brush. These little things are too delicate, and a little force will hurt them .

Wu Yunan looked at Ruan Zhixuan in amazement as she "snatched food from the mouth of bees", but none of the bees attacked her. How did this happen?Naughty children in the countryside have to be careful not to be stung by bees when digging out the beehives!

Ruan Zhixuan put the clean frame boards in the buckets that had been prepared long ago, most of which were already sealed, and took the prepared clean knives to cut off the beeswax from top to bottom, and dropped them into the clean buckets .

Golden honey flowed out, and a fragrant smell spread immediately.

"This is honey!" Mrs. Li was so bold that she leaned over to look at it wearing a bamboo hat: "Cut it like this?"

"We have a handle on the outside of this barrel, which can be shaken from the outside." Ruan Zhixuan quickly finished cutting the first one: "We have to shake the wooden barrel later, so that the honey can be shaken out."

The smell of fresh honey made many furry children want to move, but before they could do anything, they photographed it for their parents to be honest, this is not a wild beehive, they are raised to sell for money, furry children are not sensible, if they touch it What should I do if someone cheats me?
I heard that this stuff is very expensive outside!
"When cutting honey, you should pay attention to it, and the movement should be gentle. Don't hurt the bees, and cut everything else clean, and leave enough rations for the bees." After Ruan Zhixuan demonstrated it, most people will understand it. It's just a difference in proficiency: "Even if we plant the land and pay the grain, then we have to save some food for our family, and we can't make the bees hungry."

"That's right, didn't the scholars say it? What's the name, ah, you can't kill the chicken to get the eggs!" The patriarch also grinned and laughed, seeing the golden honey flowing out, which means that the white money is about to be obtained. Yes, can you not be happy?
Such a bee is really a good thing, how long does it take to invest, and the money will be returned.

The harvesting and shaking of the honey went smoothly. After the first box was harvested, Ruan Zhixuan deliberately shook out the honey from this box first. The thick honey was poured into the wooden barrels that had been prepared earlier. Come down, never stop.

Wu Yushu and Da Lang, who had been prepared for a long time, weighed the honey produced from the first box, and after excluding the weight of the wooden barrel, they got a little more than seven catties of honey.

Of course, the calculation is based on the fact that one catty is equal to 16 taels. If you want to say that a catty is ten taels, no one will take care of it at all, and you may even be scolded by the buyer.

"So much?" The patriarch, Wu Yunan and his son both came over, their eyes widened: "Yunan, what's the price of the honey outside?"

"This good honey can be sold for about two taels of silver per catty!" Wu Yunan also widened his eyes. He knew that if he could raise bees, he would be able to make money, but he never thought that it would be such a huge profit: " Your box is seven catties, this, this is more than ten taels of silver!"

More than a dozen taels of silver, even if the farmers don’t eat or drink for a year, they may not be able to save it. It’s only been a long time for beekeeping, and there is such a harvest. Also, this is the output of a box of bees , Ruan Zhixuan can raise ten boxes!
"Hey, my mother!" The clansman who was helping next to him sat down on the ground, unable to get up for a long time: "This, such a time, there are more than 100 taels of silver?"

More than 100 taels of silver!Not coins!All of a sudden, the old Wu family made a fortune and became a rich man!
Even Wu Yushu's family was dumbfounded, Mrs. Li was so trembling that she couldn't speak, and suddenly turned around and grabbed Da Lang: "You will learn from your little aunt in the future, do you know? You can't learn anything , your mother will never forgive you!"

"Sister! Sister!" The clansmen who were stunned by such profits came forward one after another: "You can't hide your secrets! We also want to raise bees, so you can teach us too! Just rely on Seeing the future in the field, the boys in the family are getting bigger and bigger, and it’s almost impossible to get rid of it!"

Ruan Zhixuan knew that this day would come sooner or later when she first decided to keep bees. At this time, there is no artificial beekeeping. The demand for honey is high and the supply is short. It is normal for the price to be high. It is surprising that no one is jealous when they see profits.

"I've told the patriarch about this a long time ago. If you want to raise it, then there's no problem!" Ruan Zhixuan quickly transferred the topic to the patriarch: "Patriarch, this matter is for you."

"Okay, I'll tell everyone about it!" My family has made a lot of money, and the Lala folks should also: "Xuan'er is a good girl, and she said it from the beginning. If beekeeping makes money, everyone will think about it." Follow along, and you can do it! It’s just that the bees are hard to find, and they were found after searching all over the mountains and forests. If you want to raise them, you can find beehives by yourself, or you can wait for our two families. bee boxing."

Ruan Zhixuan handed over the harvesting and shaking of honey to Wu Yushu's family, and brought a bottle of honey samples herself: "Uncle patriarch, I'll go to the city and talk to them about collecting honey!"

"Wait! It's not safe for you to be a woman, Yunan, you go with this! Get in the car!" The patriarch slapped his son with a red face, good boy, but he has better eyes than him. I am strong!
Wu Yunan happily ran down the mountain and got into the car. After a while, the news that honey can make a lot of money has spread all over Wujia Village. go.

The only exception was the family. Because Chen wanted to avoid apologizing to Ruan Zhixuan, she ran away to her mother's house. He Hua dressed up beautifully every day and disappeared. Wu Yufu was left alone and went out every day, so he missed this scene.

Thank you readers for your concern. During the pregnancy protection period, I will not stop changing. I will pay attention to my body.
