How much money can you make per day by getting a few deer carts to haul goods?

For ordinary people, of course it is enough. After all, the red deer are caught in the mountains, and then the cost of building the car is paid.

You can earn it back in a few days.

But...for Xu Qingfeng, it was useless.

For this little money, he might as well just kill the red deer and sell the meat quickly.

In other words, you breed red deer and cut some antler to sell every year.

Instead of relying on red deer to pull carts to make money.

Efforts and gains are not proportional.

Moreover, as time goes by, there will soon be more trucks pulling goods.

Today, there are very few Dongfeng trucks, but by the 1990s, there would be several in the village, hauling sand and bricks, moving earth, and building houses for people.

While chatting, Xu Qingfeng had already cooked dinner.

This dinner still shocked He Chunhua.

Didn’t you realize that your youngest son still has this skill?

Brat, how many things are you hiding from yourself?

She had heard from Xu Heping that the factory director's daughter was as beautiful as a flower.

This aroused her, and she couldn't wait to go to the forest farm to meet him, but after thinking about it, she felt it was inappropriate.

You have to let Xu Qingfeng deal with it first, and then bring him back to meet him. That will work.

Otherwise, if Xu Qingfeng hadn't captured the factory director's daughter, her leaving would not only be a disservice, but also not beautiful.

Although she is just a rural woman, she also knows that the water inside is deep and shallow.

"Try to see how my cooking skills are. Although I rarely cook, I have done it a few times." Xu Qingfeng smiled slightly and said to everyone.

Soon, everyone started tasting it.

"Well, it tastes good, about eight times as good as your mother's." Xu Heping took a bite and said immediately.

"Not bad, brother, this dish tastes better than what I cook." Sister-in-law Li Ruyue said with a slight smile.

He Chunhua felt that with this skill, it would be easy to win over the factory director's daughter.

Dahan, Erhan and Zhuzhu can only say: Wucao, delicious, awesome, amazing.

If it were a few decades later, maybe the sentence 666 would still come up.

Nothing more...

But I am uneducated, so I can travel all over the world just by dancing on grass.

Dahan and Erhan have two living treasures. After two glasses of white wine, they need to develop their talents.

Today's performance is to break the big stone in the chest.

Xu Qingfeng and the others couldn't be bothered, but let alone, the program was very effective, and the meal was quite enjoyable.

The two brothers were also having fun.

Of course, no one was willing to play with them before, so they cherish everything they have now.

Naturally, I am willing to work harder, even if it causes a little embarrassment, to make everyone happy.

Xu Qingfeng could see humility in their naive smiles.

They are not people-pleasers, but they are willing to do so.

"Okay, Dahan Erhan, there is no need to be like this in front of my family, we get along as equals." Xu Qingfeng called Dahan Erhan back.

After dinner, Xu Qingfeng told everyone that he was going to pick a hornet's nest later.

"You kid, why are you poking a hornet's nest when you have nothing to do? That thing is too dangerous." He Chunhua said immediately complaining.

"Your mother is right. The hornet's nest is well placed in the tree, and it is far away from the village. If we don't provoke them, it will be over."

Xu Heping said.

Xu Qingfeng smiled slightly: "You can't say that. The animals are still on the mountain and they haven't provoked us. But don't hunters make a living by hunting? The same goes for wasps. This thing can make money. You guys, just wait and see. , I can’t guarantee that this hornet’s nest is worth my father’s monthly salary.”

There aren't that many wasp nests alone, but don't forget that the wasp pupae and the wasp itself can be sold for money.

Bee pupae are a rare delicacy, and wasps can be used to make wine.

Although few people know it these days, even in later generations, not many people in the Northeast eat this stuff.

Silkworm chrysalis, on the other hand, eats more.

But Xu Qingfeng knew the deliciousness of bee pupae.

If there were several kilograms of bee pupae in this hornet's nest, it would be so fragrant.

Whether you eat it yourself or sell it, there is a big market.

Of course, if it were to be sold, Xu Qingfeng would have to cook it himself to make it taste good. Otherwise, anyone else would not know where to start.

After dinner, Xu Qingfeng planned to ask Dahan to pick up Erxi.

But unexpectedly, Erxi had already arrived.

So Xu Qingfeng and the others got on the deer cart and headed towards the place where the hornet's nest was.

There were too many people to fit in the deer cart, so only Xu Qingfeng, the two brothers Dahan and Erhan, Erxi, and Xu Qiusheng went.

The rest stayed at home and waited.

By the time they reached the location of the hornet's nest, it was almost completely dark.

But the moon is still very big and round tonight.

Therefore, everyone can clearly see the hornet's nest hanging on the tree not far away.

"Good guy, this hornet's nest is really big. I'm afraid it's been many years. Why do my bees in my house get less and less every year for no reason? There is a hornet's nest here." Erxi complained.

Wasps should be damned.

He was all hoping to make some money from beekeeping, but he ended up getting wasps in trouble.

"At this point, the wasps should have returned to their nests, and we can pick the hornet's nest." Erxi said to Xu Qingfeng and the others.

Xu Qingfeng nodded.

"Qingfeng, I'll go up then. You can just watch from the side. The moon is very bright tonight, so we don't need you to provide us with light." Erxi said, tying a rope to himself, and then started to climb the tree.

"Uncle Erxi, don't you wear a protective cover to cover your head? It would be too dangerous to go directly like this." Xu Qingfeng said quickly.

"No, I put medicinal powder on my body. The wasps will smell it and won't sting me. Even if they do, it won't be a big problem. This medicinal powder can detoxify bee venom." Erxi said with a smile.

He is not a fool, of course he came prepared.

Xu Qingfeng's eyes lit up, there was such a good thing, and he immediately asked Erxi for some, and then put some on himself.

"Does this thing really work?" Dahan muttered.

"It's better to believe that it's something than something that's not. Just put it on quickly. Even if it's useless, we haven't lost anything." Xu Qingfeng said.

This is true. Soon, Dahan and the others also applied it.

Erxi took out another stick of incense.

This is his secret medicinal incense, specially made to deal with wasps.

Xu Qingfeng has also seen this kind of medicinal fragrance.

There are still many beekeepers in later generations who use it to deal with wasps.

It can kill wasps but is not poisonous to humans.

Erxi took advantage of the moonlight and began to climb the tree. This tree was tall and straight.

The hornet's nest is about ten meters away.

Still very high.

So Erxi was also extra careful.

At this height, there is no room for mistakes. Falling down is no joke.

Although there is a rope tied to the body.

Xu Qingfeng held a telescope in his hand and watched Erxi approaching the hornet's nest little by little.
