Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 492 Is it that simple?
Is it so delicious?

Sanwazi looked at Liang Xianglian and Erniu's exaggerated reactions and couldn't help but feel curious for a moment.

Then he put his nose to the bottle and smelled it, and his eyes lit up instantly.

Then, he impatiently put the bottle to his lips, tilted his head back and took a small sip.

The next moment, he froze in shock, his attention completely drawn to the Coke in his mouth.

this.
This is so delicious!
Soon, he, along with Liang Xianglian and Erniu, was completely intoxicated by the delicious taste of Coke.

Not until they had finished drinking the Coke in the bottle bit by bit did they suddenly come to their senses and set their eyes on the package that Li Guoqiang brought back.

Then, just when Sanwazi was about to get another bottle, Erniu suddenly stepped forward, pressed down the package with her hand, then turned around and looked at Sanwazi with a vigilant look.

"You've already drunk a bottle of Coke, so let me keep the remaining Coke for safekeeping. If you behave well later, I'll give it to you!"

After saying this, she didn't care whether Sanwazi agreed or not, and just gave Liang Xianglian a look.

Seeing this, Liang Xianglian instantly understood what Erniu meant, and hurried forward to help Erniu lift the package and take it to the west room.

Sanwazi looked at their backs as they left, his face suddenly fell, and a hint of resentment appeared in his eyes.

Clearly, these cokes were brought back by Li Guoqiang for them to drink together, so why should he have to wait until they perform well before he can drink them?
If it weren't for the fact that he was still young and couldn't beat Erniu, he really wanted to have a good talk with Erniu.

At this time, Erniu and Liang Xianglian had no idea that Sanwazi had already had the idea of ​​having a good fight with them. As soon as they took the package to the west room, they started counting the amount of Coke.

Moreover, they were not satisfied with just counting once, they counted three or four times in total, as if they were afraid of missing something.

Finally, after checking, they found that there were a total of twelve bottles of Coke left.

This amount is neither too much nor too little. If they were allowed to drink as much as they wanted, they would probably finish it in less than a day.

And if they only drink a bottle every few days, they can drink it for half a month.

Thinking of this, they felt both happy and worried.

Among them, they were happy that they didn't have to worry about drinking Coke in the short term.

What they worry about is that after they finish drinking all the Coke, they don’t know when they will have the chance to drink it again.

All in all, it seems quite confusing.

Fortunately, they were not the kind of people who liked to dwell on trivial matters. After hesitating for a while, they locked all the twelve bottles of Coke in the cabinet to prevent the third child from stealing them out of greed.

Then they started to busy themselves with sorting out the other things that Li Guoqiang brought back.

By the time they had put everything in place, nearly half an hour had passed.

At the same time, Li Guoqiang had also carefully inspected the villa in the mountains inside and out.

Among them, he paid special attention to checking the mouse generator and wires to avoid fire caused by leakage.

After all, this place is located deep in the mountains and forests, and if a fire occurs, it will be no joke.

Fortunately, various industrial materials at that time were known for their strength and durability, so he did not find any problems in the end.

Then he went for a walk around the fields near the stream.

Perhaps because there were more birds and pests in the mountains and forests, and the fields were too large to be taken care of, Liang Xianglian and others did not reclaim much land, probably only about five or six acres.

However, even so, if we can successfully grow some vegetables, fruits and melons on this field, it will be enough to ensure daily needs.

In addition, what made Li Guoqiang feel a little regretful was that there were not many fish and shrimps in the stream.

In this way, even if he could bring the children over, they would not be able to experience the joy of catching fish and shrimps.

Therefore, he had to give up this plan and instead consider the development plan of a private apiary.

Now, after last year's accumulation, there are nearly 500 beehives in the private apiary, which have almost completely occupied the nectar sources within a radius of 50 miles.

If you want to continue to expand the scale of the apiary, you have to find another place with richer nectar sources and build a new apiary.

For him, finding a place is not difficult, nor is increasing the number of beehives. The difficulty lies in the lack of trustworthy people to look after them.

If he adopts the free-range model, the honey will probably be harmed by various animals in the mountains before he can harvest it.

Therefore, expanding the apiary is obviously not feasible for the time being.

In this case, in order to increase profits, we must start with the efficiency of honey collection and the quality of honey.

Among them, the quality of honey has a lot to do with the environment and climate where the apiary is located. Unless the apiary is moved to a place with better conditions in all aspects, there is no need to consider so much.

The efficiency of honey collection is directly related to the living conditions and habits of the bees.

It's like saying that if the bees have a better living environment and are in a good mood, they will naturally be more motivated to work.

In addition, different species of bees will also lead to differences in their ability to find nectar sources, flying speed, the amount of honey they carry, and their resistance to wind, rain, and heat.

Moreover, if you want to cultivate better varieties of bees, it will not be done in a day or two. It will take at least three to five years of screening and cultivation.

Thinking of this, he was somewhat surprised to find that the second way also seemed to be blocked.

It can be said that the only thing he can do now is to keep the private apiary as it is, and then slowly eliminate those incompetent bee colonies and replace them with more capable ones.

In this way, when the reform and opening up comes seven or eight years later, he will be able to have a group of bee colonies with relatively good abilities in all aspects to use as seeds, and then promote and develop them.

After this result, he once again had the idea of ​​bringing Liang Xianglian and others to Hong Kong.

After all, if Liang Xianglian and others went to Hong Kong, no matter what business they did, they would earn much more money than guarding the apiary in the mountains. There was no need for them to waste their precious time and stay in the mountains.

However, considering the social environment in Hong Kong, before that, he had to establish a force in Hong Kong that could protect the safety of Liang Xianglian and others.

After all, he can't be with them all the time. If someone starts to miss him, it would be troublesome.

Thinking of this, he shook his head slightly, and without thinking about it any more, he turned around and went back to the villa in the mountains, ready to ask Liang Xianglian and others for their opinions first.

At this time, Liang Xianglian and Erniu were busy cooking, while Sanwazi was standing in front of the stable feeding the sika deer with some fodder.

When he saw Li Guoqiang coming back, he hurriedly went up to him and asked, "Brother Qiangzi, will you bring us Coke again in the future?"

"What?"

When Li Guoqiang heard this, he couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Didn't I bring you more than a dozen bottles? Aren't these enough for you to drink?"

"no!"

Upon hearing this, Sanwazi hurriedly waved his hands and explained, "I just think that Coke should be quite expensive." Having said that, he scratched his scalp a little embarrassedly, but his eyes were full of expectation.

"fine!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted to see Sanwazi wanting to eat but afraid of not being able to have it. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Although this Coke is a bit expensive, it's nothing to me. As long as you behave well in the future, I'll buy some more and bring it over for you to drink."

"Forehead"

When Sanwazi heard these words, his eyes suddenly lit up, then quickly dimmed, and he even felt like crying.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang immediately asked in confusion: "I promised to bring you Coke in the future, why are you still crying?"

"Humph!"

Sanwazi snorted, then said aggrievedly: "My sister told me before that she would give me Coke only if I behaved well. Now you say so again, so what does it take to be considered a good performer?"

"Ah!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted when he heard this explanation, and then he laughed and said, "Why do you care so much? Just do everything you are supposed to do, that's all!"

"It's that simple?"

Sanwazi was slightly stunned, then asked suspiciously.

"if not?"

Li Guoqiang rolled his eyes, then ignored the third child and walked straight into the house.

"Great!"

When Sanwazi saw that Li Guoqiang didn't seem to be teasing him, he couldn't help but cheer, and then followed Li Guoqiang happily.

And he was thinking as he walked.

If Liang Xianglian and Erniu don't give him Coke, he will bring up what Li Guoqiang said.

"Brother Qiangzi, please go inside and wait for a moment. The meal will be ready soon."

When Erniu saw Li Guoqiang come in, she greeted him hurriedly, then picked up the spatula and started stir-frying the food in the pan.

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang nodded and agreed, then leaned over to take a look and found that there were several plates of prepared meals placed next to the stove, so he picked up a piece of pot-sticker cornmeal pancake and ate it while walking towards the east room.

When Sanwazi saw Li Guoqiang’s actions, he immediately wanted to reach out and take it.

However, before his hand could touch the pot-sticker cornmeal pancake, Erniu reached out and hit him.

"Look at your hands, they are so dirty, why don't you go wash them!"

"Oh!"

When Sanwazi heard this, he looked at his own palms. The grievance in his heart instantly turned into embarrassment, and then he turned around and ran out quickly.

It was all because he was too happy to hear what Li Guoqiang said just now, so he forgot to wash his hands. It was definitely not intentional.

Erniu looked at Sanwazi's back and couldn't help shaking her head.

Ever since she had seen the elegance and cleanliness of Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others, she and Liang Xianglian had always paid great attention to their personal hygiene, and even asked their third child to pay more attention to it.

However, Sanwazi is a boy after all, and he has been living in the mountains since he was a child, so he often forgets about this.

Under such circumstances, she was really worried that the third child would be disliked by Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others.

Although Sanwazi will have to live on his own when he grows up and will not always be with her and Liang Xianglian, if he can be liked by Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others, it would be easier for her to help him, right?
"okay!"

Liang Xianglian saw what Erniu was thinking, and quickly waved her hand and said, "You know what kind of personality your brother has, and some things can't be forced.

Besides, your performance is not much better than his, so you should worry more about yourself instead!"

After saying that, she gave Erniu a look of disdain.

When Erniu saw this, she suddenly felt embarrassed.

As the saying goes, family members know their own business.

Although her performance is better than Sanwazi's, she is also used to living in the mountains. How can she completely correct her behavior in a short period of time?
Normally, if she was in front of Li Guoqiang, she would pay more attention, but once Li Guoqiang was not around, she would unconsciously relax.

In comparison, Liang Xianglian's performance was much better.

Although she has been living in the mountains for more than ten years, she still has the foundation laid by her childhood in a wealthy family. She can correct herself quickly as long as she pays a little attention.

Coupled with her plump and charming figure, when people see her out there, they can't believe that she is just a country girl.

Just like that, after a while, the food was ready.

Sanwazi also washed his hands several times by the stream before he dared to come back and sit with Li Guoqiang on the fire pit waiting for dinner.

While eating, Li Guoqiang suddenly put down his chopsticks and asked softly, "Do you know Xiangjiang?"

"Xiangjiang?"

When Liang Xianglian, Erniu and Sanwazi heard this, they looked at Li Guoqiang with confusion, not knowing what Xiangjiang meant.

“Hong Kong is it.”

Li Guoqiang was not surprised when he saw this and hurriedly introduced them to them.

After they all understood what Xiangjiang was, he continued to ask: "If I could take you to Xiangjiang, would you be willing to go?"

"This"

Hearing this, Liang Xianglian, Erniu and Sanwazi looked at each other in confusion, not understanding why Li Guoqiang wanted to take them to Hong Kong.

Then, Liang Xianglian suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly: "Qiangzi, don't you want us anymore?"

"no!"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang waved his hands and said, "How could I not want you? I think that staying in this deep forest is not only dangerous, but also inconvenient.

So, I thought if you are willing, I will take you to Hong Kong and let you start a new life there."
