Chapter 85: Bees

Returning home with Luoluo, Meng Ying was preparing dinner dishes with Aunt Pu, a large pot of pork ribs was stewed in the pot, steaming hot, and the fragrance of pork ribs permeated the entire kitchen.

"Auntie, we're back, let's see what Uncle brings back." Back home, Luoluo shouted at Meng Ying.

"What did you bring back?" Meng Ying, who was chatting with Aunt Pu in the kitchen, stood up and walked towards the courtyard.

"Come out and have a look."

"Coming, what did you bring back?"

"Don't listen to Luoluo, Xiaoying, it was the cauliflower snake in the cave at the beginning, I was afraid that it would die of cold because of the ice and snow hidden in the cave, so I brought it back, and let it go when it woke up." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Then be careful, don't get bitten, Luoluo, you must not get too close to this snake." Meng Ying was still a little afraid of snakes, and stood far away and said.

"I'll put it out into the sun and run away when it wakes up." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

Although Zhao Yuan is an out-and-out foodie, but like this kind of wild snake, not only Meng Ying is more afraid, but also because snakes contain a lot of parasites, in case they are not well treated, in this era of backward medical care, it is not a trivial matter, so he chose to release it.

"I stewed a big pot of pork ribs with Aunt Pu and used it as the main course of dinner." Meng Ying saw Zhao Yuan sniffing the smell of meat coming from the kitchen, and said funny.

"It's okay to come out and bask in the sun, don't stay in the house and be a female celebrity." Zhao Yuan said to Meng Ying.

"Okay, I called Aunt Pu and Yingchun out, just as Aunt Pu and they were about to move to the town, and I wanted to tell you first." Meng Ying nodded and said.

"Okay, you can call them out."

"Aunt Pu, welcome spring, come out to bask in the sun."

"Okay, just come out." Aunt Pu's mother and daughter also came to the courtyard.

"Aunt Pu, did you tell Xiaoying that your family is going to move to the town?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"Didn't you tell the owner of the house? That's the case, isn't the owner's shop about to be renovated, although living in the owner's house is quite close, but it's still a little inconvenient to come and go, and the owner pays such a high salary, our family can rent a house in the town. Aunt Pu said.

In fact, the main reason is that Zhao Yuan has been eating and living here for nothing during this time, and it is not good to always go on like this, since Zhao Yuan gave their family a salary that can live independently, Tao Pu does not want to live in Zhao Yuan's house for nothing, and when he arrives in the town, he can devote himself to the operation of the store that Zhao Yuan is about to open.

"It's okay, do you need my help to rent a house?" Zhao Yuan thought about it, and the salary he gave to Tao Pu's family was completely enough for them to live a better life, so he nodded and agreed.

"Don't bother you, we can find it ourselves."

"When are you going to move to the market, rent the house first and then move, don't worry."

"Okay, owner, if there is anything here at home that you want us to come back, as soon as you are notified, we will come back immediately."

"As long as you help me run the shop in the market, there's nothing wrong here." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Boss, I want to go to the mountains and see my father and them work." Tao Yingchun on the side said with a smile.

"No hurry, we'll go together later." Zhao Yuan waved his hand, turned his head and asked Meng Ying, "Is there boiling water at home, bring some for them to help with the work." ”

"Yes, we boiled the water first, and put some tea leaves, which were put in a bucket to cool, can we send them now?" Meng Ying nodded and said.

"Send it over, put it on the platform in front of the cave, and whoever is thirsty will drink it himself."

"Okay."

With a wooden barrel containing more than half a bucket of tea, and closing the door, Zhao Yuan and the others came to the platform in front of the cave on the mountainside, beckoning everyone to come and drink tea.

"Owner, we found a swarm of bees under the dead tree on the edge of the cliff, do you think we want to recall it?" Hearing Zhao Yuan call everyone to drink tea, the big guy who had been busy for a long time wiped the sweat on his forehead and walked towards the platform here on the mountainside. Taking a sip of herbal tea from the bowl, Tao Pu said to Zhao Yuan.

"Boss Zhao is lucky, I didn't expect there to be a swarm of bees on the mountain." Wen Jianglang said with a smile.

"Where is it, the last time the wasteland was cleared, so many people came up to the mountains to cut down trees and didn't find it?" Zhao Yuan also said with a smile that bees are a good thing, not only pollinating flowering crops, but also brewing sweet and delicious honey.

"At the bottom of a cliff below, there were basically no trees there, so maybe no one was going there at the time." Tao Pu also said with a smile.

"In this way, which of you can do carpentry work, it just so happens that there are a lot of planks left over from the last renovation of the house at home, helping to make a beehive." Zhao Yuan looked around and asked.

"Brother Wen will do some carpentry work." Li Zheng clapped his hands and said when he heard Jiang Lang.

"Uncle Wen can also do carpentry work?" Zhao Yuan said in surprise, he didn't expect that Uncle Wen not only had good fruit planting skills, but also carpentry.

"That's right, Brother Zhao, although I know some carpentry work, I can only build some utensils like boxes, cabinets, tables, chairs and benches, this beehive, but I haven't done it, and I don't know how to do it." Uncle Wen flipped his hand and said.

"It's okay, as long as you know how to do carpentry, I know how to make beehives, as long as I say it, you can understand." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay, I don't have a problem, and the other thing is that the tools for carpentry work are at home and I didn't bring them." Uncle Wen said.

"I have some tools at home for carpentry work, and you can see if they are suitable for you." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

When he was decorating, Zhao Yuan happened to be idle, so he asked Carpenter Li, who came to help with carpentry work, and asked him to help prepare tools such as chisels, planers, saws, and ink fountains for carpentry work. This is where these carpentry tools come in handy.

The beehives that Zhao Yuan was going to make came from the knowledge about beekeeping in his mind, and the bees found in the mountains should be Chinese bees, and he only needed to make a ten-frame beehive.

"Don't stand here all the time after drinking tea, and keep working." Zhao Yuan was about to tell Uncle Wen about the structure of the beehive, and Li Zheng Wen Jianglang began to urge everyone to work.

"Uncle Lizheng, don't be in a hurry for a while, everyone will do it after they have rested and evened their breath, I will look at it for a while, and there will be a lot of mountains and forests that have been cleaned up." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"No, Boss Zhao, since you have paid for it, then we must all be worthy of the salary you gave, and a few meals, everyone said that this is not the case." Wen Jianglang said to everyone.

"Li Zheng is right, let's get to work."

"Work and work."

"I'm really not in a hurry for a while." Zhao Yuan had to watch everyone take the tools and continue to work.

"Brother Zhao, do you think I'll work first, or go back with you to make a beehive." Uncle Wen asked.

"Uncle Wen, you always go back with me to make beehives, it just so happens that I also follow you to learn the craft of woodwork, this doesn't need to be kept secret, right?" Zhao Yuan asked with a smile.

"No, no, Brother Zhao is willing to learn, it's too late for me to be happy, but I don't know much, I only worked as a carpentry apprentice for a few years when I was young." Uncle Wen waved his hand and said.

"Then let's go down the mountain first." Zhao Yuanduo Meng Ying said.

"Uncle, I want to see the bees?" Luoluo said expectantly.

"Go back first, wait for the beehive to be ready, and call the bees back to see if it's okay, and Luoluo can eat very delicious honey in the future." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay then."

Meng Ying put the lid on the wooden barrel containing the herbal tea, and several people walked down the mountain, seeing Wen Jianglang and others who were working, Zhao Yuan greeted everyone again, and let everyone rest and drink some herbal tea after working for a while.
