Chapter 98: Honey (1)
As for Luo Tong's curiosity, it was actually an act of stealing a teacher, and the sixth grandfather also acquiesced. Didn't I hear the little girl say that there are only two boxes of bees, I guess I want to keep them for fun. Besides, he also has to put the beehive in Xiaoluo's orchard, which is the shortest to eat people, and it is also appropriate to teach others how to keep bees.
The sixth grandfather first prepared an empty bee bucket, turned it upside down, and smeared honey on the inner wall. Then put the empty bee pain on top of the bee colony, and then use a branch or smoke it, and when the bee colony is almost all in the bucket, the sixth grandfather takes off the bee bucket, wraps it in gauze, and divides it into boxes.
Putting aside the beehive given by the sixth grandfather, Luo Tong saw that there was still a lot of honey in the barrel. "Sixth grandfather, your honey is so good, what is the price, I want to buy some for my mother to taste. Luo Tong asked.
"Generally, it is sent to the town, and some people collect it but the price is not high, only a dozen yuan a catty, this is still good honey, and it is only seven or eight yuan when it is bad. "When it comes to the price of this honey, Grandpa Six is helpless.
"So cheap?" Luo Tong was shocked by this price, "Sixth grandfather, you are definitely selling at a loss at this price, and the honey we usually buy is at least thirty or forty-one catties." And yours this is pure earth honey. ”
The sixth grandfather spread his hands, "I also know that my honey is sold cheaply, but there is no way, I am old, it is inconvenient to travel to and from the town, and I have no market." Speaking of this, the sixth grandfather felt bitter, he had worked so hard for so long, and he had to get so little money every year, and he was also sad in his heart.
"Sixth grandfather, if you can trust me, give me all your honey first, I will help you sell it, and I will help you find a market. Luo Tong proposed, and confidently made a guarantee. This is really not a big thing for her, honey is also used in cosmetics, and Mu Qing definitely needs it.
But it's a bit of a waste to use such a good honey to develop cosmetics, and it is estimated that it will not be enough to send a few points at that time. There must be a lot of their own parents, Sheng Qiwu's elders must also have them, and Mu Qing's side must also have them, so much honey is basically not enough.
Luo Tong made up her mind to help the sixth grandfather, and Grandma Chen also knew that Luo Tong had always had a good idea, so she also persuaded the sixth grandfather, "Sixth uncle, you just believe Xiao Luo once." She will have a way, Xiao Luo has always been steady. ”
The sixth grandfather was still a little hesitant, but when he saw that Grandma Chen also helped to speak, he couldn't say anything more. After all, Luo Tong helped out of kindness, and if he refused again, he would be a little ignorant.
In the end, Luo Tong wrapped all the barrels of honey of the sixth grandfather at a price of 35 yuan per catty, and Luo Tong was worried that this bucket of honey would not be enough. The sixth grandfather pushed at first and said that he didn't want money, but it was Grandma Chen who persuaded him.
The sixth grandfather's house was quite close to the orchard, so Luo Tong put the honey at the sixth grandfather's house first, and took Luo Xiaocheng to the orchard with two beehives. She wants to find a place to put beehives on the side of the wolfberry seedlings, so that the bees can produce delicious wolfberry honey as soon as possible.
Luo Xiaocheng followed Luo Tong step by step, and after walking for a while, Luo Xiaotang's spirit finally came up. The ryegrass in the orchard had grown very tall, and it was soft when stepped on, and Luo Xiaotangi took the lead and rolled in the ryegrass.
Because of the blooming flowers, there were many butterflies in the orchard, Luo Xiaotang ran on the rye grass, and jumped up from time to time to flutter butterflies, which can be said to be the most lively Luo Xiaotang Luo Tong has ever seen.
Choosing a place on the wolfberry seedlings, Luo Tong placed the two beehives on the two fruit trees respectively, so as not to stain the beehives when the seedlings came in the future. Seeing that the bees had already flown towards the wolfberry bushes, Luo Tong relieved himself, clapped his hands and called Luo Xiaocheng to go back together.
Luo Xiaocheng ran over panting, and was about to jump towards Luo Xiaocheng, Luo Tong quickly crossed its armpits, not letting its claws rub against him. It ran wild for a while, and its paws were full of grass juice, which would be difficult to wash if it rubbed against its clothes.
Luo Xiaocheng was in this posture, and he drooped down softly, it was tired of running, and now that the shovel officer wanted to carry it, it reluctantly agreed to her.
Luo Tong carried Luo Xiaotang all the way back, and when he arrived at the sixth grandfather's house, the sixth grandfather was chatting with Grandma Chen, and when he saw Luo Tong coming back, Grandma Chen got up to go back.
The two went back with the bucket of honey, and the sixth grandfather looked at the backs of the two and shook his head, obviously not promising Luo Tong's words.
This bucket of honey is about forty catties, and Grandma Chen proposed it for her to carry, but Luo Tong refused. What is it to let the elderly carry things while they are empty-handed?
And this bit of honey is not heavy, Luo Tong is very strong now, and the seventy or eighty catties that are idle are not a problem at all. Seeing that Luo Tong was going to carry honey, Luo Xiaocheng could only follow behind and walk slowly.
After arriving at Grandma Chen's house, Luo Tong put the bucket of honey in a precious place, and after saying goodbye to Grandma Chen, Luo Tong took Luo Xiaocheng back to the city, she couldn't wait to send the honey back to her mother to try it.
Luo Tong did not go back to the community, but went directly to his home. Luo's mother had received a call from Luo Tong before, and she was also very looking forward to the peach nectar in Luo Tong's mouth. After Luo Tong opened the lid, a sweet fragrance of honey came, and Luo Ma couldn't help but take a deep breath.
She couldn't wait to scoop out a spoonful and pour it into a glass, pour warm water into it, and stir it constantly, so that the fragrance of peach blossoms spread in the air. Take a sip of satisfaction, the sweet honey water seems to soak your whole heart and spleen, Luo Ma sighed, it's really delicious!
Luo's mother was full of praise for the peach nectar that Luo Tong brought back, and there was an electronic scale at home, and Luo's mother specially weighed it, and it was forty-six pounds. Luo Ma found a big glass jar, filled a glass jar full of honey, and asked Luo Tong to bring it to Sheng Qiwu.
Good things should be shared, so that joy can be stacked. Moreover, there are many elders in the Sheng family, and these honeys are just right for them. Luo Tong stuck out his tongue, and his mother was really thoughtful. Thinking of Mu Qing and talking to my mother, Luo's mother simply evened out a few catties, and Luo Tong was happy to be tired of Luo's mother's coquettishness.
She can't say sweet words, but she follows Luo's mother wherever she goes, and Luo Xiaocheng also learns. In the end, Luo's mother couldn't stand the stickiness of the two of them, and sent her back to her own community.
Luo Tong didn't go back to the community as Luo Ma meant, she wanted to give the honey to Mu Qing first, and by the way, she went to visit Mu Qing's company. She and Mu Qing have known each other for so long, and she has never been to Mu Qing's company once, just to open her eyes.
