Chapter 89 89. Tobacco and honey
Song Sancheng still felt a little sorry for the milkvetch: "We are in such a hurry. If we don't turn it over and dry it, the milkvetch in the field will come out again. No Do I still have to pull it out? "
"And isn't it blooming? I see the bees are buzzing with joy, and I don't know how much honey they produce. Even if they can't sell vegetables, it's still good for the bees. . ”
It is the nature of farmers to cherish everything that can be put into their mouths. Song Tan was not in a hurry, and slowly persuaded:
"It's okay, Dad, I plan to plant water spinach, onions, ginger, garlic and so on in that piece of land. If I plant it now, I can start harvesting it in a month. I will have time when the time comes." Let’s get rid of the weeds first... Let’s make money first!”
The spiritual energy acts on the new crops, making them stronger and more capable of absorbing nutrients. Naturally, there is no room for weeds to grow.
"As for the bees... Dad, they have been blooming for a day or two, and there is only one field to supply our bees, which were originally responsible for fifteen acres of flower fields - how can we supply them here?"
< br>I bought five boxes of bees at once. After this period of feeding, I am afraid there will be more than 20,000 bees. At the end of the day, I am afraid the fields will be empty of pollen.
"But don't worry, our fields are going downwards in sequence. I think the fields above are about to bloom, and they won't be hungry."
Song Tan has arranged this. Yes, Song Sancheng had no choice but to agree.
Then he looked at her, hesitated for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Can I plant two rows of tobacco leaves for your father in that corner alone?" He's good-looking. That's what your grandfather is good at. Look at how busy he is with our family..."
Song Tan sighed.
Yes, even when they are busy, they often smoke less. The father and son have the same virtue.
But if she doesn’t grow tobacco, her grandfather will grow it at the door...
Song Tan thought for a while, and suddenly smiled meaningfully: "Okay!"
Zhang Yanping looked numbly at this fair-skinned and pretty little cousin, but he opened his mouth and did such a thing in the middle of a meal. With too many arrangements, I can only wear a mask of pain:
“I finally know why Tao Yuanming ‘planted beans at the foot of the southern mountain, and the grass was full of bean seedlings’…”
Because of the farming This job is really not something ordinary people can do.
……
Brother Yanping's painful transformation is still going on. Grandpa Song Youde went with Song Sancheng to help build the doghouse, while grandma Wang Lifen couldn't stop making money. After lunch, she stepped over the basket and rushed up the mountain!
Wu Lan was anxious for a while. After eating, he pushed the bowl away and quickly ordered Qiao Qiao to wash the dishes.
Song Tan was not idle either.
A group of ducklings and chickens occupy the corner space in the yard, chattering and quacking, feeling the lingering aura of the yard every day. They are vigorous and lively and cannot be ignored.
It’s just that they grow faster as they eat more, and now they have begun to gradually lose their lovely yellow fluff, and their appearance has downgraded.
Song Tan called the king over and touched its head affectionately at this moment:
"Come on, king, watch them. Tomorrow we will start sending the chickens and ducks up the mountain. They are all in the fence. Be careful. It’s nice to look at them.”
“This is your job, and you will be rewarded if you do the work. It’s enough for you to eat.”
The king has been very well-behaved and voracious in the past two days. It didn't look very big, and Wulan was muttering that he had eaten too little...
In fact, dogs are also spiritual.
It knew that it was given away because it ate too much and the previous owner could not afford to feed it, so it has not yet regained its true appetite.
After hearing this, he moved his front paws, readjusted his posture, and subconsciously shook his thick tail against the ground, and then stared at the chickens and ducks in the circle with bright eyes. , a deep sound came from his throat:
"Woof!"
"Don't be afraid of a lonely dog. When these three puppies are older, I will share them with you. Take it, teach it well.”
Suddenly another heavy soft object fell on the tail. The king looked back and saw that it was indeed one of the five, six, and seven treasures. At this moment, he was trying hard to pull the tip of its tail. He was shaking his head and trying to kill with all his strength.
By the time Qiao Qiao had tidied up the kitchen, Song Tan had already brought a large cylindrical bucket out of the room.
The vat is brand new and bright, with a shaker on the side. The other hand held a basin with two layers of filters, a brush, and a thin, sharp knife inside.
Then he gave the basin to Qiao Qiao:
"Let's go Qiao Qiao, let's go harvest honey." Qiao Qiao cheered instantly, quickly took the basin, and suddenly walked halfway He asked again: "What does cutting honey mean? Do you have to cut off the bees?"
Song Tan: ...If I had known earlier, I would have talked about shaking honey.
But this also reminded her: "Just wait a moment."
She returned to the house and took out a gauze hood and a pair of rubber gloves.
“Come on, put on the hood and gloves, so as not to get stung by bees again.”
The painful memory of the last time was still in front of him, so Qiao Qiao quickly put it on and put on the hood. The gauze net was tied tightly around the neck, for fear that a fish would slip through.
The beehives are on the trail at the back of the mountain, placed in steps every five meters.
The milkvetch in the field at the moment is enough for them to eat and drink, but there are not many bees here.
However, this is only relative.
There was still a lot of buzzing around the beehive. Qiaoqiao stood there and hesitated for a while before following.
“Come on, study hard. When you become proficient in learning, this task will be given to you in the future.”
Everyone in the family has work to do. Although Qiao Qiao does a lot, she doesn't have a specific business and is always lacking.
As for honey shaking, there is not much danger if the protection is good, so it is still very suitable for Qiao Qiao.
Qiaoqiao was really excited and excited, and nodded heavily: "Yeah!"
The two walked to the mountain, first found a flat stone and put the basin on it, and then placed the big bucket on it. aside.
Lift up the asbestos tiles covering the top of the bellows to keep out wind and rain, and then open the lid. The next moment, Qiao Qiao shouted "Ah"!
Then he looked at Song Tan: "Sister, don't you want a hat?"
Song Tan shook his head: "Sister is the most powerful in the world, no need."
This is what the beekeeper said before Song Tan was given detailed guidance through the video. Even though it was his first time doing it, Song Tan acted like a veteran.
The main reason is that she has no fear of bees. At this moment, she is fighting with bare hands, and her movements are relaxed and casual.
In each beehive are five wooden frames, on top of which are the spleens cast by the bees.
She first picked out a piece, and then directed Qiaoqiao to take a brush: "Come on, be gentle and brush all the bees off the nests."
The nests are deep and light yellow.
The creamy yellow color is the layer of beeswax on top, and the whitish one below is hatching larvae. The darker yellow color is the unique color of honey. The larvae have not had time to give birth to so many.
The air is instantly filled with the unique sweet taste of honey, which is refreshing.
However, there are still many bees clinging to the nests on both sides, and they have not yet flown away. Just use a very soft brush and gently brush them away.
Qiaoqiao hesitated: "Is this their home? Should we drive them away?"
Thank you for your support!
The process of shaking honey should be quite standard if everyone follows Qiao Qiao. But...if you imitate, you will be responsible for the consequences.
Another: Since we are all exhausted from reading (monthly tickets have been drained), I will find a good sister and a good friend to recommend tomorrow!
No more, come to the comment section next!
As expected, I am not in good condition after staying up late. I will definitely not stay up tonight.
