When Chen Shixuan saw it, he joked that she was thinking too much, and she could care about how the bees built the house.

Yanni told him the benefits of adding an empty frame, if you can successfully lure bees to make a nest in an empty frame, not only will it be convenient to take honey in the future, it will not destroy the hive when taking honey, but also reduce the loss of larvae, and the larvae will be guaranteed, and the number of bee colonies will not decrease.

Chen Shixuan was silent for a while, drawing pictures on the paper, he also wanted to add an empty frame to his cage, no matter how he compared, he felt a little lacking.

Yanni persuaded: "It's better to let Dad ponder while doing it, and he will always find a way." ”

April is a relatively quiet month of the year, and there is nothing to do in the fields for weeding and fertilizing.

Chen Xiaocai pondered at home to make two kinds of beehives, and Yanni suggested: "It would be nice if it could be antiseptic, insect and smelly like bees." ”

Chen Xiaocai thought for a while and said: "It's not difficult to achieve anti-corrosion and insect prevention, the furniture that my father used to paint can achieve the effect of anti-corrosion and insect prevention, but this smell is a bit big, and bees may not like it." ”

Depend on! The smell of lacquer is so big, and the bees that don't fly away are all smoked to death.

"Dad, your paint stinks, bees won't like it, bees like the smell of flowers." Xiaoyu on the side protested, obviously impressed by the smell of paint he usually paints for furniture!

Yanni: "I think I want to add the smell of the bees to the hive, so that the bees will stay there if they feel familiar." ”

What is the taste of the bees themselves, should you brush the beehives with honey. That's not right, honey will attract ants and bugs, everyone is thinking about it.

It wasn't until Li came back from picking vegetables from the field that she saw that they were silent one by one, and asked the reason, she went into the storage room and came out with half a bucket of beeswax.

"Master, do you think this is okay? This is cut from the beehive, when you were asked to sell it, you said you don't know if people want it, so you put it there, this is the bee's own thing, you should like it. ”

Dad: "Oops! With a bang, he retreated and said: "Why did I forget this, you can wax without painting!" This wax can also play a good role in antiseptic and insect protection. ”

The next day, Chen Xiaocai boiled the beeswax and brushed it piece by piece with a brush, and the two small ones were also helping.

Yan Ni frowned when she saw this, she felt that this was not good, so she stepped forward and said to Chen Xiaocai: "Dad, look, there is no brush in that gap." ”

The two little ones listened, and you looked at her, and then said, "Yes!" Yes! I didn't even brush it in the cracks. ”

Dad looked at it and said angrily, "Then what should I do?" Do you want to dismantle it all, brush it with wax and put it back together? ”

"Why don't you put the box in and bubble it, it's like we take a bath, it's everywhere." Yanni had a bad idea, and after saying that, she doubted that it would work?

Everyone thought about it for a long time, but they didn't think of a more comprehensive approach.

In the end, Chen Xiaocai finalized, "Try it!" It's a big deal to waste some wax, it's no big deal. ”

When they were talking about collecting the bees, they found that they had overlooked a big problem, where should the bees be placed?

If you put it in the house one or two nests, it's okay, but if you have more people and bees back to do each other, it's not good, and it's eye-catching in the ground, if it's still in the mountains, it's better not to collect it?

Yanni thought about it, there was a small hill at the end of the village with a few trees growing and weeds, and it would be good if she could buy it.

Chen Xiaocai heard her say that she wanted to buy a mountain, and after pondering, he said: "Although the mountain is small, it is too eye-catching to buy it, so we must find a proper reason for it." ”

Li said: "It costs a lot of money to buy that mountain!" The land is not fertile, and if the bees are not well raised, it will be a big loss. ”

"Mother, don't lose money, you want us to raise pigs at the foot of the mountain on this side of the village, plant some fruit trees on the mountain, don't expect the fruit to make money, and raise a lot of chickens, and raise bees on the other side of the mountain to make money."

"Alas, this is a good note, it is simple to raise pigs and chickens, I can do it well, even those bees, I will not participate, you can serve!"

This sentence made the family laugh, and the two little ones teased her and said, "Mother, are you still afraid of little bees?" How cute that little bee can collect honey! ”

"It's just that honey can be sold for money if you have honey to eat."

"Mother, this pig is not like raising one or two pigs at home, but hundreds of pigs. You have to raise a thousand chickens, are you sure you can do it? ”

Li Shi was shocked by these words, "This ......, do you want to raise so much?" Our family can't wait! ”

Chen Xiaocai was also shocked.

"The stall is too big, let's cross the river by feeling the stones, or take it step by step, it's always right to be safe."

"If you want to buy that small hill, I estimate that our family's money is still a little short, tomorrow I will go into the mountains to look around, if there is any honeycomb that I haven't found."

"Dad, do you remember? Last time, Uncle Zhang seemed to have said that honey can only be harvested after a period of time in the honeycomb, and if the time is not long enough, the honey cannot be stored for a long time and is easy to spoil. Yanni was worried that Chen Xiaocai would pick immature honey because of lack of money, so she fooled.

"Did Brother Zhang say that? I don't remember, the last time I went to sell honey, Steward Dong said it. ”

Chen Xiaocai did not harvest much when he went into the mountains this time, so he shook out sixteen catties of honey.

Because you want to prepare to buy a mountain, you have to repay the money you borrowed first, otherwise you will not pay back when you see that you have money to buy a mountain, and no one will feel good about it.

Because the area is remote and poor, there is no special person to take care of the business of buying and selling mountains and fields, so they can only find the village chief uncle.

Early the next morning after repaying the money, Chen Xiaocai went to the town to buy good wine and food, and came back, and invited the village chief and the old man to come to the house for lunch to discuss the purchase of the mountain.

When they heard that they were going to buy the hill, they all said that the land on the hill was barren, and there were only a few trees with no timber, so it was not worth it.

Later, I heard that it was a breeding farm, and I thought I could give it a try, so I said that the next day, my father and the village chief went to the yamen in the town to declare.

Things went very smoothly, when my father came back, he bought a lot of food, wine and food, and said that tomorrow the yamen would come to measure the area, and when the time came, a few tables would be opened, and the grandfather's third uncle, seventh uncle, and the village chief uncle would be invited to accompany him.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, the people who measured the land took the tools to the village chief's uncle's house, and at the same time, the villagers learned that Chen Xiaocai's family, who had a large amount of debts before, wanted to buy the mountain.

Today is a good day for the Chen family, the third aunt Zhang came to help early in the morning, and the Li family still has some nostalgia for the red-faced matter before, and his attitude towards her is a little light, and he can't get warm.

Aunt Seven also came, but she brought her cousin, who was less than two years old, and had a big belly, so Li asked her to sit down and chat.

This time, the amount of dishes is very sufficient, just like people set up a banquet, there are ten bowls, and in addition to chicken, you can add more after eating.

The third uncle's family and the seventh uncle's family and the village chief's family were called together, plus the people from their own family and the yamen, and five tables were opened.

After the people from the yamen left, the third uncle, Chen Xiaoquan, stayed to ask his father where the money came from, and said that the people in the village said that our family had borrowed a large amount of money a month ago, so why did we have money to buy a mountain so quickly? also persuaded Chen Xiaocai not to take any detours.
