Chapter 172 Beekeeper

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go find Luo Tuimao and ask him about beekeeping."

The old father was surprised: "You live in the city now, why are you still studying beekeeping? Will you be allowed to keep bees in the city?"

Zhang Jingyi: "Of course you can't raise one in the city, but you can raise one in your daughter-in-law's hometown."

The old father suddenly realized: "Help my daughter-in-law's hometown get rid of poverty and become rich, great! Go quickly."

Zhang Jingyi took Elizabeth and ran next door.

Although it is said to be next door, in fact, the next door in the countryside is very far away!
They walked through several fields before reaching their neighbor's house. From a distance, they could see swarms of bees taking off and flying everywhere. Elizabeth was a little scared. It seems that even the most powerful women are afraid of insects.

Zhang Jingyi smiled and squeezed her hand: "Don't be afraid, domestic bees won't sting you as long as you don't force them to death."

The two walked forward a few more steps, and a burly young man came over. It was still spring, and the man had rolled up his trouser legs to his knees. His calves were covered with thick leg hair... No wonder his nickname was Luo Tuimao.

"Oh, Jingyi!" Luo Tuimao laughed, "When did you come back? And you brought back a beautiful foreign wife. I heard a long time ago that you married a foreign wife in the city, but today is the first time I see her. Hey, hello, sister-in-law. Can you understand what we say?"

"I understand." Elizabeth smiled: "Hello, brother."

Luo Tuimao: "Oh, Jingyi didn't say he would bring you here, and I didn't even prepare a gift for you."

Elizabeth thought of the big red envelope her mother-in-law had just given her, and she was a little shocked: Is it popular here for people to give expensive gifts when they meet? That's terrible. Don't give me another gift that I can't pay back.

Just as she thought of this, she saw Luo Tuimao return to the house. When he came out, he held two large glass jars of honey in his hands: "I don't have any prepared, so I might as well give you some of my own honey. It's a small gift, not worth anything at all. But I can guarantee that it is real honey, without any weird stuff added."

Elizabeth was shocked: Not worth the money? There were two big jars of honey.

I can’t pay it back, I can’t pay it back, I absolutely can’t pay it back.

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "I came to you this time because I want to do some research. My wife's hometown has also bloomed recently. It's spring, and there are flowers all over the mountains. It would be a waste if we don't use them. I want to learn from you how to get some bees to raise there."

Luo Tuimao understood: "Oh? Starting from scratch, a novice beekeeper?"

Zhang Jingyi: "Yes, you are the most reliable person to ask for help in this matter."

Luo Tuimao: "If it's close, it's easy. Just move a few boxes of bees from my place. I'm an expert at short-distance migration of beehives... But your sister-in-law's hometown is a bit far away, right? In Europe? I can't send you a few boxes of bees from my place."

Zhang Jingyi: "It's not that far. Her family is not in Europe. They have moved to the suburbs of Shuangqing. In short, generally speaking, what should a person who starts beekeeping from scratch do?"

Luo Tuimao: "The first thing is to buy bees. You need to go to the nearby XXX company and buy a whole box of bee colonies from them. Usually, a queen bee, a honeycomb, and 1 worker bees are packed in a box and sold in full."

Elizabeth was shocked. "Huh? You can actually buy something like this? Isn't that outrageous?"

Luo Tuimao laughed: "You don't know, my sister-in-law, in our country, there are people doing all kinds of strange businesses."

Elizabeth: "This stuff should be very expensive, right?" Luo Tuimao nodded: "It's not bad, about three hundred yuan a box."

Elizabeth: "How much?"

"More than three hundred!"

Elizabeth took out the big red envelope that her mother-in-law had just given her. Inside was 50 100-yuan bills. Her hand holding the red envelope trembled slightly. "So, my mother-in-law gave me more than a dozen boxes?"

I was so touched! It turns out that what my mother-in-law gave me was not just money, but also valuable production tools.

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "Okay, let's use this red envelope to buy it. Let's make the first batch of 15 boxes and move them to Xihuang Town for breeding."

He turned to Luo Tuimao and said, "Tuimao, I am an amateur in beekeeping. It is only because of you as a friend that I dare to try it. During the beekeeping process, I will come to you if I have any questions."

Luo Tuimao smiled and said, "We grew up together. There's no need to say such polite words. If you have any questions, just come to me. Come on, drive your new car, and I'll take you to the company that sells bees."

With Luo Tuimao, an old hand, leading the way, the rest was easy.

The three of them soon arrived at XXXX Company. The sales staff there were all very familiar with Luo Tuimao. It seemed that he often came here to buy the tools needed for beekeeping. The two sides quickly negotiated the price, and then 15 sets of bees, along with various breeding tools and a full set of protective clothing needed by beekeepers, were delivered in a huge pile.

One truck couldn't carry all the honey, so Zhang Jingyi had to transport it back to the warehouse in several batches, then drive the truck back to the honey company and load another truck...

Xihuang Town.

Adrian was chatting with Sevi when he saw Zhang Jingyi coming again: "Hi! Mr. Adrian, I have a profitable business here. Do you have any farmers who are smart and open to new things and can take over this business from me?"

When Adrian heard about the profitable business, he immediately became interested: "Hey, why should we give the profitable business to the farmers? I can just give it to my servants. I really want to hear about it."

Zhang Jingyi thought: Luo Tuimao told me that a new beehive will not produce honey in the first year, but in the second year. That means there will be no income in the first year, it is pure investment. Ordinary poor farmers really can't stand a year without income. It is better to leave this matter to someone like Adrian, who can afford to lose a year.

"Okay, then leave it to your servant." Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "My business is beekeeping."

"What?" Adrian was shocked when he heard the word beekeeping. "No way, this is a very powerful technique. Most people can't do it."

In fact, beekeeping technology has existed in the West for a long time, but this technology is not popular. Only a very small number of people know how to do it, so the price of honey is comparable to gold.

Everyone knows that honey is valuable, but no one dares to try it easily, and Adrian is the same.

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "You find it difficult because no one teaches you. I brought a full set of beekeeping techniques and equipment. As long as you are interested, next year... you will be able to produce your own bees and become a super rich man."

Adrian's heart began to itch.

The man in front of him was the richest person he had ever met. Now that he was willing to share some of his money-making skills with him, he would be stupid not to take advantage of it.

"Oh, Mr. Zhang!" Adrian said, "Please allow me to try."
