Yang Xiaole took out a greasy salt water bottle from the kitchen and walked towards the team.

Out of the village, the cornfields on both sides directly submerged people, and there were a lot of cobs on them, and the harvest would be in a little more than a month.

From time to time, people patrol the field to prevent someone from stealing corn cobs.

A three-meter-wide dirt path with various weeds growing on both sides.

Across the cornfield, there is a soybean field, followed by the rice field of Wanggezhuang.

Rubbing the edge of Wanggezhuang, I came to a main road, and along the main road, I soon arrived near the village committee of Hongqi Village, that is, the production brigade.

Didn't rush to the dropshipping point, but continued to walk forward.

After a while, I saw a thatched house on the side of the road.

There was no food growing in a field next to it, and there were more than a dozen wooden boxes on it, and countless bees were flying around in the air.

Before I got close to the beehive, the middle of the road was full of bees flying around.

This thing is a treasure in this day and age.

Not to mention rural people, even urban people are not ordinary people can eat, it is self-evident who can eat it.

Although he had never farmed before, he went to school.

Without bees spreading pollen, how can there be results.

And according to the growth rate in the space, it will soon be usable, but don't just bloom and not bear fruit when the time comes.

The beekeeper is called the old man of the yellow camel, and it is not clear what the specific name is.

The old man was busy in the meadow.

One pair of hands, without gloves or protection, walked around a colony of bees, taking out a board from the hive from time to time.

When Yang Xiaole saw this scene, let alone going to the beehive empty-handed to get something, even if he approached it now, he was afraid of being stung by bees.

That thing stings people, it hurts.

But he can't go at this time!

Let him go find wild honey, he can't catch it.

Looking at the bees floating in the air, he walked over with a frown.

The old man looked at him and did not speak.

Quietly playing with his own things.

Insert the boards into a hand-cranked wooden barrel, next to which there is something like a spout, and a small wooden barrel is placed underneath to receive the honey.

The old man did not shake the honey in a hurry, but cleaned out some of the bees in the hive.

Some are dead, most are alive.

After he got it done, the old man looked at him and asked him, "What are you doing?" Want honey? It is enough to have the approval of the commune. ”

Yang Xiaole shook his head: "No, Grandpa Huang, do I want two queen bees?" I'm not in good health, so I use it to make wine. ”

A hive is large enough to divide into nests, while bees have a limited flight range.

This means that there is a limit to the amount of pollen that can be collected, and the number of bees that can be supported does not change much.

It has been fixed for so many years.

And there are quite a few queen bees that run out here every year, so queen bees are not as precious as they imagined.

When the old man heard this, he glanced at him, pointed to the bee that had just fallen on the ground, and said, "Go there and have a look, there should be one." ”

Yang Xiaole stretched out his head to take a look and walked over cautiously.

I'm afraid of the bees in the air to give him a look.

When he came closer, he looked at the bees crawling on the ground, and he really couldn't tell which queen bee was!

The old man glanced at him, walked over and pulled it with his hand.

Pick out a bee with a longer tail than the others, a little darker, and a slightly larger body.

Placed directly on the ground.

It's just that this bee is a little unhealthy, and it seems that some of them can't fly.

"Wait a minute."

The old man put the bee in front of him, then stood up, went to a hive, looked at it for a while, and picked out another bee from it.

"Here you go!"

After getting it done, he went back and started shaking the honey.

Yang Xiaole looked at the bees on the ground and was speechless for a while.

The sick queen bee who crawled on the ground before was fine, but the healthy one caught from the hive was pinched to death by the old man, probably because he was worried that the bee had flown off.

But just now he said that he used it to make wine.

It's hard to say anything right now.

Looking at the bees crawling on the ground, Yang Xiaole thought for a while, and he didn't know if this thing could be saved with well water.

With the attitude of giving it a try, he found a leaf nearby and wrapped two bees.

But when he left, he still asked, "Grandpa Huang, you gave me the queen bee, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, there are two queen bees in that nest of bees, and one will die in the end anyway, it doesn't matter."

The old man said, shaking his handle.

The board inside spun up quickly.

And the bamboo spout, a stream of honey gushes out of it and falls into the wooden barrel below.

There were also quite a few bee carcasses and parts inside.

Yang Xiaole looked at the honey and swallowed his saliva, sugar is rarely eaten in a year, let alone honey.

But he knew he couldn't get the honey.

If you are a relative of the other party, you can still get some secretly, and don't even think about it if it doesn't matter.

I could only leave in a huff.

Back on the main road, he walked quickly towards the village council, carefully watching the bees stop.

Coming to a grove, he looked around.

Seeing that there was no one, he came to a bush and squatted down, and crept into the space.

I saw it in the morning, and he didn't care about anything else at this time.

I got a drop of well water and put it next to the leaves, and then watched quietly there.

"Buzz"

Just as he stared at the queen bee, he felt movement above his head.

Immediately let him know that it was a bee.

As if I could feel it, there was really one on top of my head, and one on my clothes.

As his thoughts flashed, he took the two bees away.

Once he had it done, he set his sights on the queen bee in his hand.

At this time, the queen bee is gulping down well water.

"Hey, I really drank it!"

Seeing this scene, Yang Xiaole was happy for a while, but he didn't know if the well water would work.

After a drop of well water was drunk by the bees, the other party lay there and did not move.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole looked around, and a small wooden box in the wooden house appeared in his hand.

Carefully put the queen bee inside.

As for whether it can live or not, it depends on its own creation, and if it really can't be done, he will find a way.

He put the wooden box under the eaves of the hut, and put a few drops of well water on the leaves, and he left it alone.

I'll get some pollen and give it to eat.

After getting it done, he got out of the space.

Looking up and seeing that there was no one around, he walked in the direction of the village committee.

In a few moments he came to a brick house.

It is the consignment point of Zhang Liuer's house.

A wooden board at the door is written with a brush: Hongqi Village purchasing and selling point.

This was once the property of Wu Laocai's family, but at this time it was changed into a sales point in Hongqi Village.

And the village committee is Wu Laocai's home.

"Zhang Liu'er!"

At this time, the windows and doors of the store are wide open, and the inside is illuminated by sunlight.

Zhang Liu'er was looking at the villain book behind the counter, and when she heard the voice, she stretched out her head to take a look.

Seeing someone coming, she was puzzled, "Yang Xiaole, why are you here?" ”

This guy is not in good health, and his family usually comes to buy things.

He rarely comes.

Yang Xiaole walked in with a smile: "Hit a pound of soy sauce!" ”

I casually placed the empty soy sauce bottle on the wooden counter.

Seeing this, Zhang Liuer put down the villain book and stretched out her hand: "What about the eggs?" ”

Yang Xiaole smiled and took out 1 cent and 5 cents and handed it to her.

"I don't have to change eggs today."

Then they looked at each other.

This girl is 13 years old this year, and she will go to school early in the next life, and she is already the age of the second year of junior high school.

The figure is also beginning to take shape.

You can still see some scale, although not much.

And the other party's face is very good-looking, but the face is a little dry and a little dark, which is a common characteristic of rural children.

Even if her family eats well, it's the same.

"Shout, give the money! Your soy sauce is used so quickly, didn't your brother just make soy sauce the day before yesterday? ”

Zhang Liu'er asked casually with a smile, took the money casually, and put it in an iron box on the counter.

Only then did I come to the vat next to me.

I picked a large wine hanging from the shelf, opened the wooden lid on the vat, and poured it slowly into the salt water bottle.

Although the movements are not as smooth as Zhang Laohan, they are also very skilled.

When Yang Xiaole heard this, he felt that there was no secret in the village at all, and he ate fish the day before yesterday and changed it to a little soy sauce, which was used once.

Now I will be noticed when I come back.

Seeing that Zhang Liu'er was making soy sauce, he smiled and said, "Oh, I didn't go to catch fish yesterday, that thing costs oil, and if there is no oil, I use soy sauce on top." ”

Zhang Liuer didn't care about it, so she asked casually.

Hearing this, she just nodded and poured soy sauce with peace of mind.

When it was done, I put it back in its place, put it on and handed it over.

"What more?"

Yang Xiaole took a look.

This is a consignment store, which is much smaller than the supply and marketing cooperatives of the commune, and there are very few types.

On the top of the wall behind the back, a ten-character slogan was pasted on red paper: *** Long live, serve the people.

On the counter there are two glass jars containing sorghum syrup and orange fondant.

A hand-held scale.

Behind the wall is a wooden shelf, on which are neatly placed some ordinary supplies, soap, matches, salt, brown sugar, tooth powder......

And things like protective gloves.

Yang Xiaole took a look, most of them don't need tickets, but there are not many categories!!

As for the brown sugar wrapped in newspaper on the shelf, it's a good thing, but it's probably been sitting there for months.

As for why there is such a thing as brown sugar asking for tickets, there is also a thing here.

That's because there are also a lot of votes in rural areas, but the number is very small.

Every year, when you complete the grain planting tasks explained above, a part of the ticket will be issued to buy scarce things.

Otherwise, people in the countryside who don't weave cloth and don't produce sugar will not be able to wear clothes and eat sugar for the rest of their lives.

It's just that the amount is very small, and it's not enough at all.

They are a family of seven, and last year there were almost two feet three cloth tickets and three taels of sugar tickets.

Barely enough to make a set of clothes.

However, the current cotton cloth is not wear-resistant, and this cloth is used up a lot every year just for patching.

I took a look at the cabinet and there was a seller of flashlights and batteries.

Shaking his head, this thing doesn't require a ticket, but it can only be bought if the production team issues a certificate, which is no different from asking for a ticket.

Pointing to a pile of pale red wrinkled toilet paper, he said, "Bring me two pounds of straw paper." ”

At this time, the straw paper was not sold on knives, but on pounds.

The price of this thing is actually not expensive, only 1 cent and 8 cents a catty, and not everyone in the countryside is reluctant to use it.

Anyway, my wife is reluctant to use it.

In her words, straw paper is expensive, and there are so many families that they have to pay about two catties a month and a few dollars a year.

If you don't use it, you can save a few bucks a year!

It's a big deal, just wash it after it's done.
