Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 541: Beekeeping Land
"Come on, Brother Sun. Last time we went to your place, you treated us to a meal. Now it's our turn to treat you to a meal. You'd better drink a few more glasses later."

After Xu Yuliang had someone take the things into the workers' room, he immediately greeted Sun Dezhuo and others with an enthusiastic look on his face.

Although he didn't know why Sun Dezhu and others came to apologize to Li Guoqiang, now that Li Guoqiang had accepted the things, it proved that everything was fine.

As the production team leader of Jinshan Fort, he certainly cannot be too rude and make a fool of himself.

Furthermore, in order to celebrate the dividends and the completion of the third and fourth apiaries, Li Guoqiang brought back a lot of prey from the mountains, including more than a dozen flying dragons and a wild boar weighing more than 300 pounds.

This amount of meat is not only enough for the villagers to have a big meal, but also enough to entertain Sun Dezhuo and others.

"Okay, then we'll shamelessly eat at your place and then ask for your advice."

Upon hearing this, Sun Dezhu hurriedly glanced at Li Guoqiang, and seeing that he had no objection, he nodded and agreed.

Moreover, he was very humble, which greatly benefited Xu Yuliang and made him more enthusiastic towards him.

Not long after, a dozen people in their group sat at two tables on a newly built fire pit in the workers' room, exchanging management experiences on bee farms, dividends, and field work, while waiting for the bee farm workers to serve the food.

Qu Yinfeng, who was the head chef during the communal dining era, was now busy cooking in the simple kitchen built in the yard with village women including Xu Yuping and Li Xiuqin, creating a lively atmosphere reminiscent of the lively atmosphere of the communal dining era.

Soon, the yard was filled with the mouth-watering aroma of various dishes, and the villagers present were reluctant to leave the workers' room, for fear that they would miss out on a meal.

In addition, they were also discussing one thing, that is, whether Li Guoqiang would build the fifth and sixth, or even the seventh and eighth apiaries next.

After all, human desires are endless, and the profits that a apiary can bring are so lucrative. If they can build a few more apiaries, they will be able to get more dividends.

As they were talking, someone suddenly suggested, "Why don't we pick a few people and go into the house to ask Qiangzi?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately felt excited, and then they began to nominate one after another.

However, since none of them knew what Li Guoqiang was planning in his mind, none of them wanted to easily offend Li Guoqiang.

In the end, after a lot of pushing and shoving, no one was chosen.

In desperation, someone suggested calling Xu Yuliang out first, and then letting Xu Yuliang go to Li Guoqiang to ask about this matter.

When everyone heard this, they immediately passed the proposal with a unanimous vote. Then, without waiting for everyone to nominate, someone took the initiative to run into the workers' room and called out Xu Yuliang.

"What's the matter? What happened?"

Xu Yuliang walked out and saw that everyone was looking at him eagerly. He couldn't help but ask with some confusion.

"Well, that's what happened."

Soon, someone told Xu Yuliang the details of the incident.

When Xu Yuliang heard that he was asked to ask Li Guoqiang about setting up the fifth and sixth bee farms, his face suddenly darkened, and he scolded him angrily, "Nonsense, I think you guys are just eating and having nothing to do.

We have just completed the third and fourth apiaries, and haven't even confirmed whether there will be any problems, but you are in a hurry to ask Qiangzi to help build the fifth, sixth, or even more apiaries. Do you really think this is as easy as picking up money on the ground?

Moreover, I can tell you very clearly now that Qiangzi has a task assigned by the county. He needs to establish a beekeeping technology research institute deep in the mountains to safeguard the contracted beekeeping project in our county.

So you'd better not disturb him unless you have something to do. If you delay him from completing his mission, I will deal with you."

After saying this, he didn't even bother to look at everyone's reactions, and simply turned around and went back to the workers' room.

The next moment, everyone reacted, and then they all felt curious and admired that Li Guoqiang was going to establish a beekeeping technology research institute in the mountains.

After all, they knew how dangerous the deep mountains were, and Li Guoqiang actually risked his life to go into the mountains to build a beekeeping technology farm in order to protect their and other production brigades' beekeeping projects.

This made them feel a little guilty.

However, even so, he did not suggest to dissuade Li Guoqiang. Instead, he repeatedly praised Li Guoqiang's selfless spirit, as if he wanted to make this matter a reality and prevent Li Guoqiang from changing his mind at the last minute.

At this time, Li Guoqiang was still sitting quietly in the room, listening to the praises and flattery from Xu Yuliang, Sun Dezhu and others, while thinking in his mind where it would be most appropriate to place the Beekeeping Technology Research Institute.

Although his real purpose was to bring the people around him to Hong Kong to start a new life under the guise of setting up a beekeeping technology research institute, he still had to do what he had to do.

In this way, we can not only give an explanation to the county, but also, after the reform and opening up, with the help of the Beekeeping Technology Research Institute, vigorously promote the contracted beekeeping project, thereby quickly starting a new business.

Therefore, the location of the Beekeeping Technology Research Institute still needs to be carefully considered.

In addition, it is time for him to propose to the production team to arrange Qu Yinfeng, Xu Yuping and others to the Beekeeping Technology Research Institute.

Another thing is to let the production team select a group of people to be responsible for delivering the next first batch of honey to Sijiucheng, and to take over the work of Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others.

As for the tea and lemons needed by Xiangmi Zhai, he could take time out every month to come back and deliver them to Xiangmi Zhai. By the way, he could also show up in Jinshanbao and Chang County and report his work to the county leaders to prevent others from thinking that something had happened to him.

Soon, while he was thinking, Xu Yuping, Li Xiuqin and others came in one after another with pots of steaming and fragrant food, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

Then, amid the clinking of glasses, it didn't take long before Sun Dezhuo and others got themselves drunk due to Li Guoqiang's extraordinary alcohol tolerance.

After eating and drinking, Li Guoqiang looked at Xu Yuliang, Sun Maocai and others, whose faces were red from drinking. He didn't know what to say, so he quickly asked someone to send them back home.

After that, he gave a few brief instructions to the workers in charge of the apiary. Then, he made an excuse that he wanted to check the nectar source nearby and used teleportation to go to the villa deep in the mountains.

At this time, Zhao Liming was sitting on the big kang in the west room of the villa in the mountains, eating lunch with his wife, children, and daughters-in-law.

While eating, he solemnly warned his family not to reveal the situation of the villa in the mountains and the private apiary.

After all, he didn't want to cause any trouble to Li Guoqiang one day and cost his family their lives.

"Dad, aren't you tired of hearing me say this every day? My ears are almost callused from hearing it!"

When Zhao Dajun heard his father nagging him again, he immediately rolled his eyes, his face full of impatience.

In his opinion, Zhao Liming was just too timid. As long as they had guns and bullets, what was there to be afraid of?

If he was really pissed off, he would just kill that Li Guoqiang, and then take over the three big blue brick and black tile houses, as well as the bee farms. By then, he would be able to earn several hundred yuan a month just by sitting there, wouldn't that be fun?
Thinking of this, he began to get excited and didn't notice that Zhao Liming's face was filled with fear.

Until Zhao Limin suddenly shouted, "Qiangzi, listen to my explanation!"

Only then did Zhao Dajun notice something was wrong and hurriedly turned around to look at the door.

This sight frightened him instantly, as he had never expected that someone would appear quietly at the door, and that he was such a tall and handsome young man.

"Qiangzi, this is all because the child is ignorant. I will definitely discipline him in the future and will not bring you any trouble!"

When Zhao Liming saw Li Guoqiang standing there quietly without saying a word, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly climbed down, bent over and repeatedly made assurances to Li Guoqiang.

"is it?"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang glanced at Zhao Dajun, who looked unconvinced, and raised a playful smile.

Then, before Zhao Liming could react, he suddenly disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of Zhao Dajun, holding a gun against Zhao Dajun's forehead with a playful look on his face.

"Just now I saw that you seemed a little unconvinced, are you convinced now?"

"I give in! I give in!"

Zhao Dajun looked at the black muzzle of the gun on his forehead and broke out in a cold sweat. Then, when he heard Li Guoqiang's words, he nodded frantically and spoke.

If he was just being pointed at by a gun, he might not be so scared.

What really frightened him was Li Guoqiang's elusive figure.

Only then did he truly understand why Zhao Liming would never tire of reminding them every day during mealtime.

If it were him, he probably wouldn't be much better.

"Alright! For your father's sake, I'll let you go this time. If it happens again, you'll have to choose a grave for yourself first!"

When Li Guoqiang saw Zhao Dajun's cowardly look, he immediately lost the mood to tease him. His face darkened and he warned him in a cold voice.

Only when he moved the gun away did Zhao Dajun breathe a sigh of relief, then lay down on the kang somewhat weakly.

Zhao Limin quickly stepped forward and slapped Zhao Dajun hard, then said to Li Guoqiang with gratitude: "Thank you for your magnanimity. I promise to discipline him in the future and not let him talk nonsense again."

"okay!"

Li Guoqiang glanced at the two women and three children who were shivering beside him, waved his hand gently and said, "You know my temper. As long as you can help me do a good job, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

As he said that, he jumped down from the fire pit and walked out of the house.

Seeing this, Zhao Liming hurriedly followed behind like a dog servant.

"Has anything happened here recently?"

Li Guoqiang walked outside, looked around, and then asked casually.

"No, nothing happened, everything is going well!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Liming quickly responded, then stood obediently by the side, waiting for Li Guoqiang to continue questioning.

However, when Li Guoqiang heard his answer, he just replied with a faint "hmm", and then disappeared out of thin air in front of him.

This startled him and he quickly turned around and ran into the house.

After he confirmed that Li Guoqiang did not enter the room but really left, he slowly walked to the kang, sat down on the edge of the kang and gasped.

"Dad, he's gone?"

Zhao Dajun was delighted when he saw this, and then he hurried forward and asked in a low voice.

"Snapped!"

"How dare you ask? Do you know that you almost killed our whole family just now?"

When Zhao Liming heard what Zhao Dajun said, he raised his hand and slapped Zhao Dajun on the spot, then started cursing with an uncontrollable look on his face.

Faced with Zhao Liming's anger, Zhao Dajun could only silently cover his face with his hands and dared not open his mouth to refute.

Before, he might have thought that as long as he had a gun in his hand, he wouldn't have to be afraid of an outsider like Li Guoqiang.

However, after truly witnessing how terrifying Li Guoqiang was, he no longer had the slightest thought of resisting, for fear that if he wasn't careful, Li Guoqiang would suddenly shoot him with a gun.

As for reporting Li Guoqiang's affairs to the higher-ups and asking them to send people to arrest Li Guoqiang?
He didn't even dare to think about this idea, let alone do it.

"Humph! I'm telling you the truth now. If you don't want to die, you should behave yourself from now on. Do you hear me?"

When Zhao Liming saw that Zhao Dajun had realized his mistake, the anger in his heart slowly dissipated. He then snorted coldly and warned him with a serious face.

"heard it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Dajun nodded hurriedly and agreed. Then, seeing Zhao Liming go to comfort his mother, he also hurried to comfort his wife and children.

At the same time, on the other side, Li Guoqiang also used teleportation to successfully find a valley with dozens of acres of flat land in a mountain more than ten kilometers away from the private apiary.

Moreover, in the valley, there are not only many flowers and plants, but also a small mountain stream flowing slowly.

The most important thing is that there are no steep cliffs around the valley, so there is no need to worry about avalanches in winter.

Coupled with the abundant nectar sources and clean environment, it is truly a great place for beekeeping.
