Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 298 Honey
Before the tricycle reached the village entrance, I saw a man standing under the persimmon tree waving from a distance.

As soon as the car was parked, Wang Hai ran to the motorcycle in two or three steps, complaining aggrievedly, "Doctor Li, Mr. Qian, let me go back to the city, my girlfriend is going to break up with me!"

separate!

The eldest brother-in-law frowned, "You and Sun Qiang are not stationed in the village in rotation, and you will go back after only a few days. Do you still have a sense of responsibility?"

Mention Sun Qiang.

Wang Hai was so angry that he sued Xiao Hei because of his grievances.

"Mr. Qian, it was agreed that we would rotate once every half a month. Sun. Sun Qiang hadn't been back since he returned to the city a month ago. Sometimes he said that the father-in-law had an affair, sometimes he said that the mother-in-law had a third child, and sometimes the sister-in-law needed him during menopause. Stay with me. I don't know how old his sister-in-law is, but she won't be able to come back anyway."

puff!

Li Hongbing couldn't help laughing, Sun Qiang's reason was really weird.

The father-in-law is having an affair, the mother-in-law has three children, and the sister-in-law is in menopause.

The eldest brother-in-law suppressed a smile and put on a straight face, "It's really outrageous. I'll talk to him when I get back to the city. Let's go to Nineteen Turns with me first."

"Really?" Wang Hai doubted what the boss said, and no one in the company was reliable from top to bottom.

"It's more real than gold, hurry up and get in the car, you'll be as ink-stained as a girl." The eldest brother-in-law urged impatiently.

Shaking all the way to Chaotianyan.

Parking the motorcycle to the side of the road, the three of them stood on the edge of Chaotian Rock and looked down. Wisps of white clouds, like veils, and the dark green vast land with mountains and mountains, looked like an ink painting with a panoramic view.

"It's so beautiful. If it can be developed, it will definitely be a 5A-level scenic spot." The elder brother-in-law couldn't help but said.

"Build a viewing platform here, watch the sunrise and sunset, and watch the clouds roll and the clouds relax."

Wang Hai even nodded in agreement. Although life in the mountains is lonely, the scenery is indeed first-class and original, no worse than those boasted on TV.

"Stop talking nonsense, watch the road!"

Li Hongbing spoiled the scene by interrupting the two burning bun men to express their feelings, took out a tape measure and walked to the [-]th turn.

"The width here is only 2 meters, Wang Hai, how wide is it suitable?"

After all, Nineteen Turns was carved out bit by bit by the whole village back then, and the width standards were not consistent. At that time, it was only required to be able to pass a horse-drawn carriage.

Knowing that Li Hongbing called him to widen the [-]th turn, Wang Hai's heart was darkened instantly, and the idea of ​​leaving the forest area was completely extinguished. However, as a designer, he still has professionalism, so he observed for a while and visually measured the slope.

"It depends on whether it is a small change or a big change. For a small change, you only need to dig 1.5 meters into the inner side of the cliff, but it is still not possible to pass a large vehicle. After all, the turning angle and slope have not changed."

"In the case of major changes, all the original roads will have to be changed. The inner side of the cliff will be dug deep to increase the width, counterweights will be installed, concrete support beams will be installed on the outer edge of the roadbed, and a large overhang structure will be used, so that the slope and wrong lanes can be reduced."

Listening to Wang Hai's technical terms, Li Hongbing was at a loss.

"Just say whether it can be expanded, how to expand is your business, and the process does not need an introduction."

"That's right, a lot of nonsense." The eldest brother-in-law agreed.

Hey, chickens talk to ducks!

Looking at the two bosses speechlessly, Wang Hai tried to use the most concise words and said, "It can be expanded, and it can be completed in half a month. The cost is estimated to be about 300 million."

How good to say so early!

At a young age, Rory is repetitious.

Li Hongbing turned his head to look at his elder brother-in-law, "Let's start work tomorrow, and I'll transfer the project money to you later."

Grass!
"You still have to be pregnant for nine months to have a baby. You are playing with mud! You need to investigate in the early stage, do you understand the design?"

The eldest brother-in-law immediately came to the same line with Wang Hai, despising the uncle as a rough brother-in-law.

"It doesn't matter whether I understand it or not. What matters is when you start working. I'm Party A now, so I don't understand it or not." Li Hongbing pointed at himself with a smile.

"you…"

The eldest brother-in-law paused, and the brother-in-law was right, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Wang Hai, who was standing aside, shook his head.

This doesn't seem to work for the brother-in-law's brain.

Party A, who didn't sign the contract, Party A!

"The project is handed over to you. Remember to notify me when you start the work. Do you want to have dinner in the old house at night? I will make chicken stew with mushrooms?"

Li Hongbing clapped his hands, and directly left the burden of widening the nineteen crutches to his eldest brother-in-law, and continued to be the shopkeeper.

"No, your sister is waiting for me to come home for dinner. She has a bit of a temper recently." The elder brother-in-law said on his face that I wanted to stay, but there was a tigress at home, and he shook his head bitterly.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Wang Hai, "You go back to the city with me first, and contact the design institute to help produce a blueprint. This matter is left to you, and you may stay in the mountains."

No!

How did this happen to me.

With the two of you, use your lips.

Wang Hai was speechless, and was about to evade, but he heard Mr. Qian yelling, "You bitch, Red Soldier, send me down the mountain before you go!"

As far as the eye could see, Dr. Li rode away on a motorcycle.

Back to the old house.

Parked the car and walked into the rice field, the house was empty.

The two girls go to school, Shan Xing goes to the Qixiang San factory, the silly boy hangs out in the village, the wolf dogs run to the meadow barn to play with the dogs, and Mama Xiong goes back to the warehouse to rest.

In the huge courtyard, Li Hongbing was the only one left idle.

Bored ready to take a nap under the old oak tree.

Three bear cubs ran over from outside, pawing at their trouser legs and complaining.

"What, you were stung by a bee?"

The one-clawed bear cub stood up, and wriggled pitifully, there were several clearly visible red envelopes on the fart.

"That's right, I didn't learn well at such a young age, I was stung for stealing honey, and I still have the face to sue."

Li Hongbing grabbed the cub by the ear.

I can't help but wonder that although bumble bees produce honey, the amount of honey is not high, and the honey they make is bitter and hard. When I was a child, I used to dig bear's nests just for fun.

As for bear honey, it is not eaten by dogs.

"I gonna go see."

Li Hongbing walked towards the vegetable garden, and the cubs thought they were going to help them back up, and followed behind aggressively.

The vegetable garden of the old house is different from the oak tree vegetables. The original energy is several times that of the oak tree vegetables, and the natural output and quality are also several times that of the oak tree vegetables.

The food eaten by the family must be better.

Buzz!
Before getting close to the vegetable garden, you can hear the low vibration of wings, dense chubby and furry bumblebees shuttle between the flowers in the vegetable garden, and many bumblebees fly in and out from the courtyard wall.

Be nice!

There are so many.

Li Hongbing was stunned. The last time I visited the vegetable garden, there were only a few hundred bumblebees. Now there are at least two or three thousand. The queen bee can really give birth!
Buzz!
The appearance of the bear cubs made the bumblebees who had worked so hard to gather honey and pollinate them instantly become manic, and rushed over in a swarm, scaring the bear cubs to hide behind Li Hongbing's legs and tremble.

"What are you doing to make the bumblebees so angry?" Surrounded by the swarm, Li Hongbing didn't panic at all. The queen bee had already told all the bumblebees through pheromone that Li Hongbing was also the king of the swarm.

The three bear cubs bowed their heads and remained silent.

At this moment, the queen bee wobbled over, landed on Li Hongbing's shoulder, flapped her wings, and accused the bear cubs of their bad deeds.

"What, they planed the beehive!" Li Hongbing was stunned, and brought the queen bee to the ridge of the vegetable garden. Several places in the ridge of the bumblebee's nest had been dug out, and the soil was still fresh.

"What did you do?" Li Hongbing turned to look at the bear cubs behind him.

Hey!
The bear cubs shook their heads in unison in denial, and their movements were unified as if they had been practiced.

Yo, the mouth is very hard!
Li Hongbing stretched out his hand to grab the back of a bear cub's neck, grabbed the bear cub's palm with one hand, and looked at the dirt with honeycomb debris in the crevice of the paw.

"Where did this soil come from? Are there other beehives in the house?"

The bear cub retracted its paws guiltily, and the remaining two bear cubs hurriedly lay down on the ground, hiding their little paws under their bodies.

"Go and apologize to Bumblebee." Li Hongbing put down the bear cub.

The three bear cubs stood pitifully in front of the bumblebee swarm, and blew twice. The bumblebee swarm dispersed and continued to work.

Li Hongbing said to the queen bee, "They won't tear down their houses in the future."

The queen bee fluttered her wings and flew into the hive. When she came out, she staggered and grabbed a small piece of honey and put it in Li Hongbing's hand.

The honey block is not big, about the same as soybeans, and its color is golden and crystal clear, like a piece of golden crystal, exuding a rich fragrance.

Is this bear honey?
Li Hongbing picked up the honey suspiciously, and put it into his mouth at the urging of the queen bee.

The honey melts instantly in the mouth, sweet and fragrant, as if eating a hundred different flowers, it is like immersing in the sea of ​​flowers, which makes people happy and relaxed.

Breathe out, accompanied by bursts of flowers.

so sweet!

So sweet!

"Is this the honey you picked?" Li Hongbing had a pleasant expression on his face.

The queen bee fluttered her wings and said that there were still many at home.

"How many?" Li Hongbing became very interested, watching the queen bee land on a certain position on the field ridge, her wings fluttered rapidly.

"Dig it?"

With the consent of the queen bee, Li Hongbing rolled up his sleeves and dug up the soil on the surface of the field ridge with his hands, revealing a hollow with a flaky off-white honeycomb inside and a wax shell made of honey on the outside.

Li Hongbing lightly pressed the wax shell and prepared to pinch a piece, who would have thought that the wax shell was quite strong.

Increase your strength again, with a click, your fingers penetrate the wax shell, and when you pull it out, honey is stuck to it, and the fragrance of flowers is even stronger.

Hey!
Smelling the tempting scent of honey, the cubs scratched their ears greedily, and kept pulling on Li Hongbing's trouser legs. Even though they were still small, they had sharp claws, and they grabbed the trouser legs into strips of cloth in a few strokes.

Li Hongbing licked the honey sticking to his hands.

Compared with crystallized honey, thick honey has a richer taste and is slightly less sweet, but the fragrance of flowers is more intense than crystallized honey.

The queen bee buzzed and flew to Li Hongbing's shoulder.

"Give me all this honey, do you have enough?"

After the queen bee heard it, she vibrated her transparent wings and flew up, landed on the ridge of the field, flew up, landed again, and flew up again.

"These places are honey storage rooms, darling, you guys are really capable!" Li Hongbing got up and walked back to the kitchen to get a jar of honey.

Seeing Li Hongbing leave, the three cubs gulped their saliva unceasingly due to the aroma of the honey nest, and couldn't help but approach the honey nest.

Buzz!
A swarm of bumblebees descended from the sky, blocking the bear cubs, their fluffy farts showing bee needles.

Afraid of being stung by bee needles, the bear cubs fled back in fear.

When Li Hongbing came back with the glass bottle, he carefully broke off pieces of honey nests and put them into the bottle, but there was still a lot of honey wasted.

Especially when bumblebees built their honeycombs on the ground, and the roots of the honeycombs were mixed with crystallized honey and soil, Li Hongbing felt distressed when he saw it.

It is shameful to waste, and a hive must be built for bumblebees.

Putting down the glass jar, Li Hongbing wandered around the vegetable garden, looking for a suitable place to build a beehive.

Finally, I chose a small open space close to the courtyard wall on the east side of the vegetable garden. The location is remote, quiet, and leeward. Not only can I get the sun every day, but it is also close to the water channel, which is convenient for bumblebees to drink water.

Li Hongbing got rid of the weeds first, and dug out a foundation two meters long, one meter wide and half a meter deep against the courtyard wall.

Then I rode a tricycle to the open space outside the yard to pull stone materials. When I was renovating the old house, I pulled a lot of hemp stones from Wuya Ridge, and some of them were left in the open field.

I loaded a cart full of Maqing stones back to the vegetable garden, threw the stones into the honeycomb foundation, moved in cement, sand, and gravel, and mixed concrete on site.

Concrete is poured into the foundation, smoothing the ground.

Li Hongbing built stone walls according to the size and shape of Ma Qingshi, and filled the gaps between the stones with cement to prevent insects from crawling into the hive later.

The courtyard wall can replace the back wall of the honeycomb. On both sides are Ma Qingshi stone walls with a thickness of [-] cm. Later, an insulation door will be installed to facilitate the extraction of honey.

Busy till the sun goes down.

A crooked honeycomb was built, with an irregular trapezoidal shape, precarious, giving people the illusion that it would collapse at any time.

Li Hongbing, who has a great sense of accomplishment, is not worried. After the cement solidifies tomorrow, the entire beehive will be buried with soil. This will not only support the beehive, but also keep it warm. Otherwise, the low temperature of minus [-] in the forest area in winter may not be enough for the bumblebees to survive. .

Buzz!
The queen bee flew over and looked at the strange building.

"How do you feel about your new home?" Li Hongbing asked confidently.

so ugly! !

Turning around the hive, the queen bee twisted her furry fart and flew away without looking back.

"!!!" I worked hard to build a beehive, but was rejected by the queen bee. Li Hongbing was not sad. Animals don't understand human art, it's normal.

Shan Xing came home from get off work from the Qixiang San factory, and saw Brother Hongbing squatting by the wall with a strange house next to him.

"Xing'er, come here quickly, I'll show you something." Li Hongbing smiled and waved.

When Shan Xing came up to him, Li Hongbing pointed at the crooked beehive beside him, his face pale, "Guess what this is for?"

Shan Xing looked at it carefully, then covered her mouth and smiled, "Who doesn't know this, a cesspit, brother, our toilet doesn't have a septic tank, why do we have a cesspit."

Li Hongbing was speechless, what kind of eyes, such a hive full of art can be regarded as a cesspool.

At this time.

Sha Wa came back from school with two girls, and the wolf dogs walked in through the gate.

Seeing Dad and Aunt Shan Xing by the vegetable garden, big and small surrounded them, not waiting for Li Hongbing to speak.

"What an ugly house." Anna took the lead in complaining, and got her approval with a look of disgust.

San Hui even stepped forward and raised his hind legs, urinating against the stone wall.

Li Hongbing's anger soared, and he looked at Shawa. He was the last speaker, and his words determined the future fate of the hive.

Sha Wa raised his hand and pointed at the hive, "Master, it's about to collapse."

What!
Collapsed?

Impossible, impossible at all, the bricklayer in Caogou Village built a mere honeycomb with two knives, and he just pinched it with his hand.

Li Hongbing turned his head and watched the hive wobbled a few times before collapsing.

Grass!
waste time.

A honeycomb that took an afternoon to build turned into a pile of stones in an instant.

Stop playing.

Li Hongbing didn't even look at it, he lifted his legs and left the vegetable garden.

A group of people and animals behind him stared wide-eyed.
