Chapter 683: Beekeeping!!
Tang Jun is also curious about the current situation in Chen Ergou's family, although Ergou is physically disabled, his ambition is not disabled, and his personality is relatively strong.
In the case of relying on manual labor to determine the family income, the conditions of his family are indeed inferior to those of other families, but he secretly taught himself to repair, and he can repair the TV sets and satellite receivers in the two villages of Shanghe and Shanghe, and basically there is no problem in making ends meet.
Now that the wind of poverty alleviation is blowing, his family is the first batch of registered households, and he is also a key poverty alleviation target, Professor Ding brought him the beekeeping project, he immediately felt that the opportunity had come, so he worked very hard every day.
Not long ago, Professor Ding and Tang Jun had a phone call, saying that Ergou has now become an expert in beekeeping, and he is not a problem with changing buckets to extract sugar in daily life, and he is even very proficient in how to breed bee queens.
And what's more, he also studied the breeding of wasps, the hornet is particularly disgusted by the people in the countryside, the first is that this thing is dangerous, the people work outside and come across this thing to hide, in case of provoking a nest of wasps, the light will be injured, and the heavy will die.
In Dalinshan Town, there were often wasp stings, stinging to death, it can be said that wasps were once a big scourge of the people, but in recent years, people in the city like to eat bee pupa, the price of wasp pupa climbs, a nest of wasp pupa in autumn can sometimes be sold for more than 1,000 yuan.
Under the trend of interests, there are a group of people in the society who specialize in playing hornet's nests, and the hornets have almost disappeared in a few years, and the demand for the demand side is still strong, so breeding hornets has also become an industry.
However, the difficulty of wasp breeding is relatively high, mainly because this kind of thing is more harmful, in addition, some wasps are still natural enemies of bees, and the news that Chen Ergou studied raising hornets by himself still surprised Tang Jun.
Professor Ding told Tang Jun:
"Ergou is not satisfied with making a fortune by himself, he thinks that the beekeeping industry is very suitable for Shanghe Village and Xiahe Village, and he wants to bring the villagers to beekeeping.
But traditional bees need flowers, although the forest coverage area of Dalin Mountain is relatively large, but it can't support the flowers needed for large-scale breeding, so he thought about raising wasps, I think his idea is quite good, his drilling energy is enough, I think there is a chance to succeed! ”
Based on these reasons, Tang Jun still has some expectations for this trip to Shanghe Village, when Tang Jun and Zheng Pingyuan went to Chen Ergou's house, they saw that the house was cleaned up inside and out, and Ergou was wearing a new set of clothes today.
There are almost forty buckets of bees placed in front of and behind his house, and in terms of development, Chen Ergou's bee breeding and development speed is really fast!
Speaking of beekeeping, Chen Ergou said with relish, he said:
"In fact, it is relatively simple to divide the barrel, the key is to cultivate the queen bee yourself, and after having the queen bee, you can divide the bucket at any time. But there are more barrels, you can't take sugar, so this year is mainly for the purpose of breeding, sugar should not be too much, it is estimated that in the second half of the year, another wave of gallic honey, I am ready to sell more than 100 catties of honey! ”
He paused and said, "But next year my sugar should be doubled, and I conservatively estimate that I should be able to sell four hundred to five hundred catties of honey next year!" ”
At present, the price of honey is 100 yuan a catty, and if Ergou can sell 4 or 500 catties of honey a year, his annual income will be 40,000 or 50,000 yuan.
For a family like him, this income is enough to live in a month, not to mention that Chen Ergou's family still has nearly 20 acres of land transferred, and basically the land income is more than 10,000 a year!
"Ergou, I feel that the front and back of your house have changed a lot, one is to clean up, the second is to harden the tower, and there are a lot of things added, there is such a smell of a well-off home!" Tang Jun said with a smile.
Chen Ergou said seriously: "Secretary Tang, to be honest, I have been helped by ZF in the past few years, and they have already hardened the tower, but I didn't agree!"
Because our family used to be poor, ZF is very grateful for giving us basic living security, where can ZF help us do such construction? This year, I kept bees, and after the rape nectar came out, I sold it for 10,000 yuan, and then I sold a few nests of bees.
Or spend my own money steadily, after I earn money from beekeeping, I still want to rebuild the house, and also build a brick house, I heard that the road will soon lead to the opposite pass, and there is a ropeway from the pass.
We are estimated to have a trend of building brick houses up and down the river, and I will definitely do it anyway! ”
When Chen Ergou said this, his eyes were full of longing, Zheng Pingyuan praised it, and said: "Ergou, you are a typical example of our people's poor ambitions, and you are also a model of hard work and prosperity, with your spirit, we will be able to get rid of poverty in Shangxiahe Village, and we can proudly say that we will soon take off the poverty hat left to us!" ”
Zheng Pingyuan came to visit relatives, so he brought a bag of polished rice, a mention of cooking oil, a fish, a piece of fresh meat, and fifteen catties of walnuts. Because there are many "relatives" today, and all the way over is a construction site, it is impossible to carry it manually, so Tang Jun invited two mules to carry the things over.
When Tang Jun and Zheng Pingyuan were chatting at Chen Ergou's house, the mule sent things over, Chen Ergou beckoned the old lady to cook, and then everyone had a simple lunch together.
After eating, Chen Ergou took Tang Jun and Zheng Pingyuan to see the hornets he raised, good guys, the hornets that were scared when they looked at them really let Chen Ergou study them, he put the location of the hornets and wasps in a particularly hidden mountain col, basically this mountain col The common people will not go.
Chen Ergou said:
"I studied the habits of wasps and wasps, and according to their habits, as long as people don't provoke them, especially their hives, they won't take the initiative to attack people.
This whole col is our family's own mountain, I have filed with the village, this place Shanghe Village and Xiahe Village people do not want to come, especially children can not come, it should be said that safety considerations are relatively thorough!
Vespas and wasps are now raised, and the first batch of bee pupae should come out this fall, of course, the amount will not be very large, and now there are already two or three people who raise wasps with me, all of whom are brothers on the other side of the river!
I occasionally go over to help them take a look, I should say that the good thing about this industry is that the bee chrysalis raised are absolutely not marketable, and now there are more and more people who like to eat bee pupa, and the price is quite high! ”
Chen Ergou is worthy of being a baby in junior high school, and he usually can't work because of physical reasons, so he hides at home and reads a lot, so his thinking is still good, and when it comes to beekeeping routines, his mind is very clear.
Tang Jun was also worried that Zheng Pingyuan would be in danger if he followed, but Zheng Pingyuan's interest was very high, Tang Jun couldn't stop it at all, and when he arrived at the place, Tang Jun found that the risk was actually not big, Chen Ergou had experience in dealing with bees, and there would be no problem if he didn't alarm his nest anyway.
Chen Ergou mainly let Tang Jun and Zheng Pingyuan visit the small greenhouse cultivated by his queen bee, it should be said that this place opened the eyes of Tang Jun and Zheng Pingyuan, especially Zheng Pingyuan, who praised Chen Ergou very exaggeratedly.
Chen Ergou knew that Zheng Pingyuan was the secretary of the county party committee, so he looked very shy and said with a red face:
"Actually, I learned these techniques from Professor Ding, and it is said that there are experts in this area in the provincial capital, and they also sent me a lot of books, and I also learned some knowledge from books!"
Zheng Pingyuan laughed, his mood was extremely comfortable, and he said to Tang Jun:
"This kid is in a good mood, hey, it's a pity ......"
Tang Jun knew what Zheng Pingyuan said about pity, first of all, it was a pity that Chen Ergou was sick when he was a child and caused his disability, and the second pity was of course a pity that Chen Ergou was born in such a closed place as the upper and lower rivers.
Zheng Pingyuan didn't say this, because if he said it, it would not be consistent with his identity as the secretary of the county party committee. Of course, Tang Jun understood this, and said:
"I don't think there's anything to be sorry for, in this life, the key is to live seriously, Ergou I think this kid has done this, his future will definitely get better and better!
I heard Professor Ding talk before, Professor Ding wants to stay in Shangxiahe Village for a few more years, and it is best to stay until Ergou is a child, and it seems that the professor still wants to tell Ergou about a family affair! ”
Zheng Pingyuan said: "This is good, this is really good, I want to thank the professor when I go back, to be honest, my relative is too timid to think about this."
Looking back, if Ergou's beekeeping business can really be started, he can definitely be regarded as a capable person in the two villages of Shangxiahe, and I think that at that time, it is really not too difficult for him to find a daughter-in-law! Why didn't I think of it? ”
Zheng Pingyuan was talking about this matter all the way back, so much so that he also called Professor Ding aside, and the two talked for a long time, and after coming back, he looked in a good mood and said to Tang Jun:
"Regarding the question of the second dog's parenting, in fact, Professor Ding has a little bottom! I think I can go to propose marriage after the bee chrysalis of the second dog is sold in the second half of this year!
The other girl's impression of Ergou is not bad, I think it is easy to do with this basic thing. ”
Tang Jun laughed dumbly, thinking that in such a place where birds don't, the marriage of a disabled person can be asked by a county party secretary in person, and he is particularly concerned, it should be said that such a thing may be difficult to appear even in a novel, I have to say that this is something that will only appear under the party's poverty alleviation policy in the new period, and it is only possible that such a thing will occur under the system of our country.
