Chapter 360: Coming up with an idea
Bian Rui took the stupid cow, followed by four small ponies, one person and five animals to form a small team, walking on the path into the village.
There are usually few people walking on this trail, because the place where this road leads is a bamboo forest, and no one takes this road except for people in the village who want to eat bamboo shoots or something.
Therefore, this trail is very difficult to walk, although this trail has been paved before, but the road is like this, if there are fewer people who usually walk, then the weeds will slowly erode it, when it was originally opened up, it was almost more than a meter wide, and now it can be seen that it is only about twenty or thirty centimeters.
If we don't do it in another two or three years, I'm afraid that the whole trail will be robbed by these plants.
But fortunately, in this season, there are fewer mosquitoes, snakes and rats, and most of the grass and vines have withered, and the road is relatively smooth.
"Uncle Nineteen, what are you cutting so much bamboo for?"
As soon as he came out of the road and turned into the village, a curious baby who was squatting on the side of the road to pee in front of his house asked Bian Rui.
The little guy is not afraid of the cold, now Bian Rui is wearing a sweater with thin underwear, this little guy is still open crotch pants, the little finch in the middle is still hanging outside, and there is still a pair of sandals on his feet, and it is not his own, I don't know if he is wearing grandpa's or father's.
"This bamboo, cut it home and feed the cows!" Bian Rui said with a smile.
After speaking, Bian Rui bent down and said to this kid: "Your calf cow eats bamboo, if you do, Uncle Nineteen will also give you some for you to feed your own calf and cow!"
When the little guy heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't eat, don't eat!"
"What's the use of not eating bamboo calf cows, I think it's better to let Uncle Nineteen cut it!" Bian Rui said with a smile.
When the little guy heard this, he immediately covered his little finch and shook off his feet and ran, running for about ten meters and feeling that the distance was safe, so he turned his head, but he was still afraid that his nineteenth uncle would cut his little finch and his hands were still tightly covered.
"Uncle Nineteen is a big villain!" the little guy said angrily, "I'm going to tell Aunt Nineteen to let her beat you!"
"Yo, I'm going to sue, don't run!"
Before Bian Rui's words were finished, the little guy ran back to his yard with his crotch covered.
Bian Rui stood outside the yard and heard the little guy complain to his grandmother: "Milk, milk, Uncle Nineteen wants to cut my calf and cow, saying that my calf cow doesn't eat bamboo!"
"Since it's useless not to eat bamboo, let Uncle Nineteen cut it if he wants to!" The old lady is also a coax.
"Don't!" the little guy was naturally reluctant.
Bian Rui listened to Zhile outside, and pulled the stupid cow to continue walking.
"Little Nineteen, what are you doing with so many bamboos cut at this time, and they are all so small, weaving fences? No, which fence is woven at this time?" Bian Qi couldn't help but ask when he saw his cousin cutting a large pile of green and thin bamboo.
Bian Rui said: "Brother Seven, I'm going to try to see if I can use this bamboo to raise bees."
"Do you really want to raise bees with bamboo, what kind of bees do you raise? Are you going to engage in beekeeping next spring?What is the prospect, if it is good, tell your seventh brother, and I will do it with you this time" Bian Qi originally heard that bamboo beekeeping felt that this matter was not nonsense, but when he turned his head and thought about Bian Seventeen's encounter, he immediately came again.
The families in Bianjia Village are not very poor, so to speak, it has nothing to do with poverty, and they have almost stepped into a well-off life, but they are not rich enough to regard money as dung, and now what Bian Rui wants to do to make money has become a small consensus of the people in the village, and now Bian Qi heard that his cousin wanted to keep bees, and it was normal to come to the spirit.
Bian Rui said with a bitter face: "Where is the beekeeping, I am here to settle down for the bee uncle, didn't we have some little bees in our house, that thing doesn't like to live in the beehive, it likes to drill the eaves, if it goes on like this, my house will not live in people, can the yard be able to stand it in summer." Originally, I was going to set it on fire, but my daughter-in-law said that it was also a life, and I had to find a way to get rid of it, no, I was going to try it with this thing."
Bian Qiyi understood it, and said in his heart: So that's what happened!
"Your daughter-in-law is really, a few bees have been raised to the height of life, okay, you can go back to your work quickly."
Turning around, Rui heard the seventh brother muttering: This woman has read too many books, and she is in trouble, and even the life of the bee is considered, and she is too full to eat.
Bian Qi said that he was ready to leave, but after taking two steps, he remembered one thing: "Nineteen, your sister-in-law made sweet lotus root in the morning, your daughter-in-law likes to eat it, and I will get some at home later."
"I see, thank you Brother Seven"
"Thank you, thank you, it's not a valuable thing," Bian Qi smiled and waved his hand and continued to walk forward.
Bian Rui returned home with the stupid cow.
Unloaded the bamboo on the stupid cow, Bian Rui dragged the table saw out of the house, and directly began to cut the bamboo into sections, three bamboo knots for a section, respectively, the thumb thick, the middle finger thick and the little finger thick bamboo were divided into three categories, and after the bamboo was sawed out, Bian Rui made a hole in the last bamboo knot, and tied all the same type of bamboo together with a thin cotton rope, so that the bamboo looked like a beehive from one side.
Thirty-four bamboos of each type were taken and tied into a bundle. The bamboo section is three sections, one of which is open, that is, the hole in the bamboo section is exposed, so the bamboo becomes a bamboo tube that is sealed while penetrating, Bian Rui dips a little honey with a bamboo skewer at the bottom of each bamboo tube, coats it on the bottom wall, and then hangs all the bamboo tubes under the eaves.
After doing all this, Bian Rui squatted in the yard to observe whether the bees would get into the bamboo tube, or whether they would come out like a beehive after getting in.
"Little Nineteen!"
Just as he was looking, Bian Rui heard the voice of the seventh brother and quickly stood up.
When I turned my head, I saw that Brother Qi was carrying a basket in his hand, and there was a blue and white sea bowl in it, and the sea bowl was filled with honey lotus.
The honey lotus made by the seventh sister-in-law is the first in the village, not only does it look good, it tastes sweet and glutinous, and Bian Rui is convinced to make honey lotus root, and the honey lotus made by others is sauce-colored, but what she makes is white, and the lotus root is made like a little doll arm, powdery, and after looking at her honey lotus root, Bian Rui understands why Nezha uses lotus root to shape his body when he is resurrected.
In short, the seventh sister-in-law is very good at this, Yan Lan likes this taste very much, originally Bian Rui's family gave everyone a share of wild honey, so they sent some to Yan Lan when they did it.
"Ouch, I forgot about this, look at my brain!"
Bian Rui immediately ran over and took the basket in Seventh Brother's hand, returned to the kitchen and poured the contents of the basket down, then washed the sea bowl, and got a few pieces of Shaqima for Seventh Brother.
returned the basket to Seventh Brother. Bian Qi glanced at the contents of the basket, and didn't say much, just picked up the basket and continued to look up at the bamboo beehive made by Bian Rui.
"Why does this thing look so suspenseful, hang three of these things in the yard, I don't know if people see it and think you're doing it to ward off evil spirits."
"How do I know if it will work out, anyway, I'll try it when I think about it, if this doesn't work again, it is estimated that I will really burn the bees in a few days, and I will go crazy if I don't burn them," Bian Rui said.
"I think it's burning while your daughter-in-law is not paying attention, where are you doing? Immediately as soon as the frost and snow fall, the bees in your bamboo tube will freeze to death, if the bees and I don't change places in the eaves, you will be on fire at night, let the bees live in the bamboo tube, and the bees will not be stupid!" Bian Qi said.
Brother Qi's words suddenly made Bian Rui scratch his head: "Then wrap it in a layer of grass to keep warm?"
"If you want to keep warm, you have to come like this, have you ever seen how to build a grass house before? and mud and grass finally mixed into a kind of mud, I think you do this and then insert these bamboo tubes into it, and then put it in the place behind you, there will definitely be no problem this winter" Bian Qi gave his cousin an idea.
Bian Rui thought that this idea seemed to be good, but he was not sure, so he asked, "Can it work?"
"No, try it, anyway, if it doesn't work, you're going to burn the bees," Bian Qi said with a smile.
Bian Rui nodded, then thought for a moment and asked, "Who else knows this craft now?"
Bian Qi said: "What's so difficult about this! Wait for tomorrow, I'll come over to help you tomorrow, let's cut the straw first, and then take the mud, anyway, when your livestock is too much, just catch up with the mud pile and step on it, I guess I can wait for the afternoon to get the billet down......."
Bian Rui thought that since the seventh brother would do this, he would do it! So the two brothers made an appointment for tomorrow morning, and Bian Qi went home. Bian Rui waited for his cousin to leave and began to prepare dry straw, and then found a pond to dig the kind of mud that could be used to make adobe bricks. This thing is easy to find, it is everywhere, if it weren't for the trouble Bian Rui could have dug it out next to his home, but in order to save trouble, Bian Rui still went to the river embankment to get it.
Yan Lan came back and saw a pile of yellow mud piled up at the door of her house, and then some hay, and her husband, who had nothing to do all day, was busy cutting the hay into small pieces with knuckle lengths.
"What kind of demon is this?" Mr. Bian, what about you?" Yan Lan asked.
The little girl couldn't help jumping out of the car when she saw that it was so funny, and couldn't wait to join her father's team of cutting hay.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" the little girl was very happy.
"I'm going to fight with the mud with Brother Qi tomorrow, and then try to put the bamboo pipe in......" Bian Rui told Yan Lan about his thoughts on tidying up.
Yan Lan listened and said, "It's really a big project!"
