Chapter 411: Feed the white sugar water
Early the next morning, Gao Mingcheng braved the snow and rushed back to Gaojia Village.
Rao is in good physical condition, and he drove the tractor all the way back to the village on a snowy day, and he was cold enough.
When passing by Zhang Chengyuan's house, he stopped the car directly and went to find Zhang Chengyuan and Chen Dasong, father and son.
Although he has a lot of strength, he has forty boxes of bees, and he has to go back and forth several times by himself, so naturally he has to find a few helpers.
When shouting, Chen Dasong's youngest son also volunteered to help, Gao Mingcheng glanced at him, a fifteen-year-old young man, not too young, so he agreed.
The four of them began to head towards the place where the beehives had been placed.
Because it was winter, the beehives were not placed deep in the mountains, but moved to the bottom of the mountains.
In winter, there are few flowers in the mountains, but there are more nectar plants at the bottom of the mountain because the villagers grow vegetables.
After finding the beehives, Gao Mingcheng found that the beehives were covered with a thin layer of snow.
The snow is still falling, and the temperature is cold.
Gao Mingcheng immediately said: "Move the beehives to my house, otherwise these bees will freeze to death." ”
He stacked the two beehives on top of each other and took the lead in carrying them up and walking towards the house.
Others followed suit, Chen Duoxi's strength was smaller, and he only moved one beehive at a time.
Forty beehives are scattered in two places, although they are at the foot of the mountain, they are also a few hundred meters away from Gao Mingcheng's house.
But fortunately, there was a lot of strength in numbers, and soon, all forty beehives were moved back home.
Gao Mingcheng put these beehives in the hall and the empty room.
After the wind and snow outside, he lifted the lid of a beehive to check the bees inside.
All the bees are huddled together, layered on top of each other, densely packed, this is for warmth, to be able to effectively resist the cold.
Because of the low temperature, the bees are in the hives and do not go out to find the source of the honey.
Gao Mingcheng is not a black-hearted businessman, he has not touched the beehive since the honey shake in late autumn, so there is still some honey in this beehive, even if the weather is cold and there is no honey source outside, the honey will not starve to death immediately.
But in order to maintain the number of bee colonies, he still decided to feed the bees with white sugar water, in fact, when large-scale bee raising, when there is no nectar source in winter, it is necessary to feed white sugar water.
He found sugar from his home, found a few soda bottles, poked a few small holes in the cap with the tip of his knife, and then began to mix the white sugar water.
Close the cap with the hole in the bottle and do a handstand, and the white sugar water in the bottle will slowly drip through the small hole, and the dripping speed is also very slow due to the small hole.
He found rope and tied the bottles, and hung them on the beams.
Gao Mingcheng said to Chen Duofu: "In the future, you will come and see it every day, and if there is no sugar water in the bottle, you will mix a bottle of sugar water according to what I just did." Remember? ”
Chen Duofu specially followed him to learn how to manage bees, and he watched the whole process carefully before, because it was not complicated, so he would see it at a glance.
When Gao Mingcheng asked, he immediately nodded and said, "Brother Mingcheng, don't worry, I have already learned." ”
Gao Mingcheng said again: "Bees are active during the day and go into the hive to rest at night, so you can come and see it every day during the day, and you should also know how much sugar water to make." ”
Gao Mingcheng took out all the sugar at home and put it in a special place for Chen Duofu to take it conveniently later.
"In addition to feeding the sugar water, you also have to observe the situation of the bee colony, if there is a situation, you go to the cooperative in Junling to call me, and I will reimburse you for the phone bill."
Gao Mingcheng took out a pen and paper, wrote down the phone number of his clothing store on a piece of paper, and asked Chen Duofu to take it.
Chen Duofu first read it a few times, trying to remember, and then carefully put the paper in his pocket.
Gao Mingcheng came back this time for the sake of bees.
Now that the bees have been dealt with, he is ready to go back to the county.
Chen Dasong said suddenly: "Seeing that it is almost noon, Mingcheng, you can go to my house for lunch before leaving, and also taste your aunt's craftsmanship." ”
Chen Duoxi immediately said: "Brother Mingcheng, my mother's cooking is delicious!" ”
Gao Mingcheng saw that they were enthusiastic, so he agreed.
Zhang Chengyuan is not good at communicating with people, and he was stunned for a moment, he felt that he should also ask Gao Mingcheng to eat at home, but he rarely said such polite words, and the meals at home were cooked with a lot of jade.
Many Yu has a problem, that is, she is not so neat in doing things, and her family's meals will be eaten much later than others, for example, most people have food around noon, but his family has to go at least two o'clock.
Many beauties don't like her second sister's procrastination and grinding the most, so when many beauties are not married, they cook a lot of beauties.
Zhang Chengyuan lost the opportunity, so he shut up.
Gao Mingcheng closed the door and only opened the window a crack to let in air.
When the house is warm, the bees begin to move out of the hive, and the doors of the room and the hall are open, and white sugar water bottles are hung in both places to facilitate the bees to move around the house.
The bees are sensitive to sweet smells, so they fly towards the hanging soda bottles, where they suck the white sugar water.
Gao Mingcheng looked at the house full of beehives and thought to himself, after the beginning of spring next year, he would have to build a shed at the foot of Xiaofu Mountain, which could provide shade and place farm tools and fruits in spring, autumn and summer.
In the winter, you can wrap the shed in a circle with plastic sheeting and move the beehives there to spend the winter.
Otherwise, it is really inconvenient to keep so many beehives at home.
Gao Mingcheng followed Chen Dasong and his son to Chen's house.
Chen Dasong's wife's surname is Liu, so Gao Mingcheng calls her Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu knew that Gao Mingcheng would have lunch at home, and she was very welcoming in her heart.
Gao Mingcheng invited her husband and son to do things, and there were two more items in the family, and she was always very grateful in her heart, she began to think about what dishes she had at home, and she could make a table of sumptuous dishes.
"Duoxi, you go to the field and pluck some garlic and green onions and come back." Aunt Liu began to arrange tasks for her youngest son.
"Duofu, you go catch a chicken and kill it!"
When Gao Mingcheng heard that he was going to kill a chicken, he immediately stopped it: "Aunt Liu, you don't need to kill chickens, just eat some of them!" ”
Aunt Liu insisted on killing chickens to entertain guests, and said: "The chicken to be killed is an old chicken, which has long stopped laying eggs, and now it is killed and eaten, and the chicks will be hatched in the spring of next year." ”
"Dofu, you want to catch that black-haired chicken, you know?"
"Yes!" Chen Duofu responded and went to the chicken pen.
Because of the snow, the chickens were not as active as usual, and they were all staying in the chicken pen, Chen Duofu slowly approached, and after locking on the target, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the defenseless black chicken.
The black chicken hurriedly wanted to escape, but he couldn't escape, so he could only let out a helpless cry.
The other chickens were frightened and avoided it.
Gao Mingcheng looked at this scene and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to praise it.
"Blessing, not bad! Pretty awesome! ”
Chen Duofu smiled, his eyes full of pride.
When others catch chickens, it is often difficult to catch, but Chen Duofu is very good at catching chickens when he is young, he found that when he wants to catch chickens, he can't show his intentions at first, he has to pretend that nothing happens, slowly approach the target chicken, and then catch the target chicken with lightning speed.
Of course, it was also related to the weather, the weather was too cold, and the chickens were not so active.
After he caught the chicken, he began to slaughter the chicken and pluck the feathers, as swiftly as he did when he caught the chicken.
Gao Mingcheng watched him pluck his hair while talking to Chen Dasong.
Chen Dasong took out a cigarette and asked Gao Mingcheng to smoke, but Gao Mingcheng refused.
The two of them began to talk about some things in the field, and they began to talk about some things in the village.
Chen Dasong vaguely reminded Gao Mingcheng and told him that his reputation in the village is not very good now. He also said that after his parents' house bought a TV set, it became very popular in the village, and now people watch TV at his parents' house day and night.
Moreover, those who watched TV had already handed over the task money issued by the village committee to Gao Mingpeng.
After Gao Mingcheng heard this, he couldn't help laughing, sure enough, the rivers and lakes are not fighting and killing, but human feelings.
The people in the village are eager to watch TV, and Gao Mingpeng has the task of collecting money, so he took this opportunity to let people pay all the money that should be paid earlier.
Of course, in the entire Gaojia Village, it is impossible for all people to go to Gao Yuanjian's house to watch TV, and therefore are willing to pay money, there are always a few families who are too poor to come up with that money.
Zhang Chengyuan's family and Chen Dasong's family paid the money, but they didn't go to Gao Yuanjian's house to watch TV, because they were far apart, and because they were foreign surnames, they didn't get along so well with the people in the village.
Gao Mingcheng listened to this and didn't take it to heart.
Last month, with everyone's support, I got 1,123 monthly passes and got a chance to draw a lottery.
Before the draw, I prayed that I would win the grand prize, but ...... I was so lucky that I only drew a hundred yuan, and when I watched other authors draw ten thousand yuan and an Apple phone, my eyes were red with envy......
This month's goal is still to ask for 1,000 monthly passes, thank you for your kindness!
