September 15, 9 a.m.

An Liang has already appeared in Star.Garden, and Zheng Yuansi of Daofeng Bee Farm has brought two bee experts to Star.Garden together, ready to investigate whether Star.Garden can breed bees.

Inside Star.Garden's No. 1 greenhouse, An Liang and Zheng Yuansi chatted, and two bee experts carefully studied the situation of No. 1 greenhouse.

Including the number of watermelon flowers in the No. 1 greenhouse, the content of watermelon nectar, and the analysis of the flowering time of watermelon flowers.

"This is where the famous jade series of watermelons are planted?" Zheng Yuansi looked at the large and small watermelons and asked in amazement.

An Liang nodded, "That's right! ”

"It seems that President An, you really have mastered the amazing technology, and you have actually cultivated watermelons into a fast-ripening variety, and they are uninterrupted all year round." Zheng Yuansi exaggerated.

An Liang just smiled, did not answer in the affirmative, and did not deny it. As for whether he has mastered the technology, how could An Liang say it? How Zheng Yuansi wants to guess, that is Zheng Yuansi's business.

Mystery is the only way to have a sense of mystery!

After almost two hours of investigation, the two bee experts returned to Zheng Yuansi's side, and Zheng Yuansi asked more actively than An Liang, "How is it?" Lao Zhou, can I keep bees here? ”

The bee expert surnamed Zhou is the chief technical expert of Daofeng Bee Farm, his full name is Zhou Wei, and he looks a little bigger than Zheng Yuansi.

"President, after my judgment and Lao Gang's judgment, although the area here is relatively small. Not eligible for bee farming. But here the watermelon flowers. The nectar content is more than 500% that of ordinary watermelon flowers. Moreover, the density of flowers far exceeds that of ordinary watermelon vines. One more point. That is, after we watched the monitoring records, we found that the flowering period was abnormal. The flowering period of these watermelon flowers is simply extremely abnormal, almost reaching half a month. Zhou Wei said excitedly.

Zheng Yuansi, as the president of the bee farm, is naturally not a straw bale, he frowned and said: "Doesn't that mean that the watermelon flowers here can collect nectar repeatedly, and the flowering period is super long, and new honey can be supplied every day?" ”

"Yes!" Zhou Wei replied in the affirmative. "And besides that, one more point! Because this is a greenhouse environment, bees have no natural predators, and the efficiency of honey collection will be much improved. At the same time, the small range of honey collection also means that the flight distance is shorter, and the amount of honey collected per unit time is higher. ”

Gangrui, another technical expert at Dobong Bee Farm, added: "President. I would like to add that also because of the greenhouse environment here, the temperature and light can be adjusted according to the demand. So, bees don't need to sleep in winter. Honey harvesting can be carried out all year round! ”

Zheng Yuansi smiled bitterly, and he looked at An Liang with envy, "President An." You're a bee's paradise! If I wasn't sane, I would like to buy planting techniques from you. Then I also set up a greenhouse to collect honey for the bees. But. I guess, your planting costs are not low, right? ”

An Liang nodded, and did not specify the specific planting cost, because the cost of the Fountain of Life could not be calculated.

"President Zheng, so I can breed bees here?" An Liang asked with a sigh of relief.

Zheng Yuansi nodded affirmatively, "Of course you can." However, although the conditions for bee farming are excellent, the small size of the area is also a big problem. The yield of honey is very small, I am afraid. ”

"How much is very little?" An Liang asked.

"The output of a greenhouse, every month, I am afraid is less than 100 grams." Zheng Yuansi sighed.

The vast majority of bees, the honey collection radius reached 2.5 kilometers, that is, 2500 meters, according to the calculation formula of the circular area, when the radius is 2500 meters, the area reached 19.625 million square meters, but the area of the greenhouse is only 1000 square meters.

The honey harvesting area in nature, even if it is a fraction of the data, is five times the area of the greenhouse. Therefore, even if the flowering period of watermelon flowers in the greenhouse is super long and the amount of nectar is too large, it cannot make up for the gap in area.

In terms of production, there are naturally very few!

An Liang said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, it's okay to be less." ”

Zheng Yuansi made a clever guess: "President An should want to use bees for pollination, right?" Pollination by bees is indeed a good approach, far exceeding the efficiency of manual pollination. At the same time, it also saves human resource costs. ”

However, Zheng Yuansi didn't know that because of the participation of the Fountain of Life, watermelon flowers could directly bear fruit without pollination at all.

An Liang did not deny Zheng Yuansi's speculation, "President Zheng, we only have two greenhouse watermelons, that is to say, we need two bee colonies, do you have the right bee species?" ”

Zheng Yuansi nodded, "Of course there is!" President An is a native of Xia Guo, have you heard of Xia Guo bees? We're going to send you two summer bee colonies, and they should have no problem adapting to the environment here. ”

"Well, no problem. By the way, President Zheng, what is the price of two Xia Guo bee colonies? An Liang figured out, as long as the price is not too expensive, then pay directly.

Zheng Yuansi laughed and said, "It's just two Xia Kingdom bee swarms, what kind of money do you want!" Our apiary cultivates two summer bee colonies, and it doesn't have to be too troublesome, just send it to President An! ”

An Lianggao glanced at Zheng Yuansi, this kind of favor debt is more troublesome than selling it at a high price, An Liangcai doesn't want to owe a favor debt!

"What's so embarrassing? President Zheng should tell me the price! An Liang rejected Zheng Yuansi's kindness.

Zheng Yuansi continued to persuade, but An Liang also continued to excuse himself. In the end, Zheng Yuansi thought about it for a while and said, "Since President An is so polite, we are not welcome, and we will blackmail President An fiercely." ”

An Liang's expression remained unchanged and said: "You're welcome, blackmail is welcome!" ”

"I've heard that Star.Hotpot is also owned by President An, and we want five free coupons for Star.Hotpot, is that okay?" Zheng Yuansi asked.

Star.Hotpot's free coupons are not unlimited for free, but have a certain amount of standards, including 1 million won and 2 million won.

If you use the standard free coupon of 2 million won, you will not be able to make up for it even if you do not spend 2 million won. However, the consumption after exceeding 2 million requires the customer to pay more.

At the same time, Star.Hotpot's free coupon has one of the biggest advantages, that is, it is almost free of appointment, as long as you call Star.Hotpot, as long as Star.Hotpot still has a vacant seat, you can book directly after verifying the correctness of the free coupon.

The free coupon is really convenient for the limited-supply Star.Hotpot. It's a pity that the number of free coupons for Star.Hotpot is very small, and they are basically given as gifts.

An Liang was reluctant to owe a debt of favors, although the two Xia Kingdom bee colonies were indeed nothing to the Daofeng Bee Farm.

But if An Liang wants to obtain them himself, if he goes through the channel of Xia Kingdom's imports, it will definitely be a troublesome and troublesome thing. Consuming money is secondary, and the key is that it also consumes a lot of time.

"No problem, President Zheng, I'll give you five free coupons with a quota of 2 million. Also, how about we go to eat Star.Hotpot at noon today? An Liang said generously.

"Thank you so much President Ann!" Zheng Yuansi said gratefully.

It was already past eleven o'clock, and after An Liang contacted Xiang Yaling, everyone drove to Star.Hotpot. Because it was a company affair, Xiang Yaling was not involved.

Everyone chatted while eating, and after Zheng Yuansi drank a few glasses of sake, he began to boast, "President An, our Daofeng Bee Farm is one of the largest bee farms in Seoul. This year, we have acquired another large piece of land in Daofeng Mountain, and we have planted apple trees. Once the apple grove is formed, we can develop both the apple sales business and the apple honey industry, killing two birds with one stone. ”

An Liang said: "Then congratulations to President Zheng!" Come, President Zheng, let's have a drink! ”

Sake is really not stressful for Anliang.

Zheng Yuansi and An Liang drank another glass before continuing, "It's just a pity! The apple trees are seedlings that take at least three years before they bear fruit. It would be nice to buy an apple grove directly! ”

"Huh?" An Liang's mind flashed with a flash of inspiration, as if he had grasped something, 'The fruit trees of those test subjects in the fifth greenhouse are all fruit seedlings. Could it be that the forest springs give birth to their shapes, but there is no way to give birth to their life rings, so it is also necessary to reach the concrete real forest before it can begin to bear fruit? ’

Although the diameter of the thickest trunk has reached 100 mm, the test fruit trees in the No. 5 greenhouse still show no signs of flowering and fruiting.

An Liang couldn't find the reason, and he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't even have a clue. It was only now, after listening to Zheng Yuansi's boasting and nagging, that I grasped a little clue.

In general, it takes 2-3 years for apple trees to blossom and bear fruit after planting. An Liang actually knew this piece of information, but he never considered it in this regard.

Because the Forest Spring changed the shape of the trees, turning the seedlings into mature trees, Anliang ignored this problem.

But now that I think about it, the Forest Fountain should have only changed the shape of the trees, not their age. So, the fruit trees of those test subjects can't bloom and bear fruit, right?

However, whether this is the reason or not cannot be determined for the time being, and further experiments are needed to know. However, before further experiments, An Liang still has one more thing to ask Zheng Yuansi.
