Gao Mingcheng returned to the place where the beehive was. Before he got close, the black tiger and the elf barked and came over. When the two dogs saw that Gao Mingcheng had come back safe and sound, their expressions were particularly excited and they circled around Gao Mingcheng.
He even wanted to pull on him. Gao Mingcheng felt the loyalty and love of the hunting dogs for him, and he felt happy in his heart. He rubbed the heads of the black tiger and the elf dogs and said, "It's getting late, let's work first!"
This place has been discovered by the black bear, and he has temporarily spared the black bear's life, so it is best to move the beehive to another place.
So Gao Mingcheng could only carry the beehives to find a suitable place, and then place the beehives in the new place one by one.
I hope that black bear won’t come again to cause damage, otherwise we will arrange to steam bear paws immediately!
After finishing all this work, Gao Mingcheng took the honey shaker and two dogs down the mountain. When he got home, it was already noon, and Duomei was cooking in the kitchen, with wild boar head bones stewed in a large iron pot.
Yesterday, many beauties packed up the wild boar heads and feet at home, but they didn’t have time to stew them yet, so they happened to cook them today.
According to Gao Mingcheng's instructions, Duomei also sent some of the remaining wild boar meat and offal to several families. Her second sister's family also sent a pound of meat and half a pound of pork liver.
Pork liver replenishes blood. Her second sister is pregnant and needs something to replenish blood.
Speaking of which, Gao Mingcheng's sister-in-law is about to give birth, but not many people go to the hospital to give birth at this time. They all give birth at home. Some people will call the midwife to come, and some people may give birth at home. Elderly people come to help deliver the baby, such as mother-in-law, mother, etc.
At this time, women have to do work in the fields, and even more work at home. Even pregnant women have to work in the fields in the morning. Many pregnant women give birth to their children in the afternoon and lie down on the bed for a while. In two days, I had to do laundry, cooking and feeding.
There are even people who give birth to their children directly in the fields. There is a girl named Gao Tian in Gaojia Village because she was born in the fields.
"Mingcheng, are you back? The meal will take a while." Duo Mei walked out of the kitchen and looked at the honey shaker in Gao Mingcheng's hand.
Gao Mingcheng placed the honey shaker on the ground, and then took out the shaft inside. There was some honey hanging on the iron frame above, but this was a necessary waste, because honey is sticky and will definitely stick to it. On the honey shaker.
After the shaft and the iron frame were taken out, what was left was a wooden barrel. The honey obtained previously was collected in the barrel, and there were some residues at the bottom.
"How many beehives of honey is this?" Duo Mei asked with interest.
So Gao Mingcheng briefly talked to her, but did not mention the encounter with the black bear. Du Mei is young and a woman, so he doesn't want to scare her.
The two talked for a while, Duomei returned to the kitchen and continued to work on lunch, while Gao Mingcheng went to the house to get a bottle to fill the honey.
There were two kinds of bottles, one for one pound and one for two pounds. After filling them all, Gao Mingcheng realized that he had obtained a total of thirty-five pounds of honey this time, plus the honey stuck to the barrel. And the residue, a total of thirty-six kilograms.
This yield is not bad to be honest. Italian bees are very active bee species in collecting honey and produce more honey than medium bees. However, the number of bee colonies was small during the winter before. It is only now that the weather has warmed up that the number of bee colonies has begun to increase. growing.
The amount of honey produced is related to the number of bee colonies and the number of honey sources.
This is the nectar raised by Gao Mingcheng himself. He decided to keep two bottles for his own consumption, save another to give to Grandma Xi and Gao Guobing, and sell the rest for money.
Last year, he made a lot of money at the drug fair, but he didn't make much after that, and he spent all his money. It's been a long time since he made a big profit.
But there is still a little bit of honey. If all twenty boxes of honey are shaken out, it will be a bumper harvest.
"Mingcheng, it's time to eat!" Many beautiful voices came from the kitchen. There are only two dishes today. One is the meat torn from the pig skull, stir-fried and seasoned with chili and wild onions, and the other is boiled in pork bone soup. Tofu.
I didn’t make tofu at home, so someone gave me some as a gift. Last time when I made tofu, I couldn’t finish it, so I gave some to acquaintances.
It is said to be a gift, but in fact it is an exchange of favors and an exchange.
At the dinner table, Gao Mingcheng mentioned that his sister was learning tailoring. Yesterday, he asked Duomei to ask Aunt Dong, but he had no time to ask about it since then.
Duo Mei said: "I told the master, and the master said he was willing to accept it, but he didn't want to charge tuition. He just wants Shufang to learn and help the master for three years. He will make money from doing the work, but not much."
"Mingcheng, master is planning to set up a clothing workshop! Didn't you say before that you wanted me to sell clothes in the county? Master said we can make our own clothes and sell them!"
At this point, many beauties' eyes lit up and they seemed very excited.
Gao Mingcheng has many aesthetic tailors. Firstly, this is a craft, and secondly, it is also useful for selling clothes in the future. For example, if the trousers of the clothes are too long, you have to change the trousers. If you can change them yourself, it will be much more convenient, and you can also cut them yourself. Clothes, take them out and sell them.
But Gao Mingcheng had thought about opening a clothing workshop, but he hadn't mentioned it yet because there weren't many tailors nearby, and it wasn't that convenient to go to the county to recruit people.
"It's okay to open a clothing workshop, but are there a few manpower? Does Aunt Dong want to do it alone, or in partnership with someone?" Gao Mingcheng asked.
Duo Mei pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Master said he wanted to partner with me."
Duomei doesn't have much capital. Aunt Dong said that she is partnering with her, which can be regarded as an indirect partnership with Gao Mingcheng.
"This is a good thing. As long as you want to do it, I will support you." Gao Mingcheng affirmed, which immediately caused many beauties to smile broadly.
At first Gao Mingcheng said that he wanted Duo Mei to go to the county to sell clothes and catch up with the business boom, but Duo Mei was a little scared in her heart. After all, she had never been to the county often, let alone done much business.
But now that Aunt Dong said that she wanted to open a clothing workshop and would partner with her, she was no longer so afraid.
Hugging can keep you warm.
After the meal, Gao Mingcheng decided to talk to Dong Feixia in person to see what Dong Feixia thought about opening a garment workshop.
There haven't been many things going on in the fields recently. When Gao Mingcheng passed by, Gao Shouwang and his wife were both at home.
"Uncle, aunt." Gao Mingcheng greeted with a smile and walked into the yard.
"Mingcheng is here, hurry up, sit down." When Gao Shouwang saw Gao Mingcheng, he enthusiastically pulled Gao Mingcheng to sit down as if he were his own son.
After asking, Gao Mingcheng got straight to the point and talked about the clothing workshop.
Gao Shouwang and Dong Feixia looked at each other, and Dong Feixia said: "I plan to open a clothing workshop in partnership with Duomei. From now on, I will be responsible for leading my apprentices to make clothes, and Duomei will be responsible for selling clothes in the county. What do you think?"
