"Master Tu, how many people in your family can keep bees?" After hearing this, the village chief asked directly without beating around the bush.
"I got married when I was fourteen. I have four sons at home. There was originally a younger one who died in infancy.
His parents are still alive, his wife is virtuous, and he has nine grandchildren. Xiaoyu and Xiaogu can both keep bees.
The eldest son of another boss is fourteen years old this year, not yet married, and is preparing to...take the imperial examination! Why! But he also keeps bees. "
Tu Fei introduced the situation at home and sighed when he talked about his eldest son and grandson.
Everyone sympathizes with him and knows that the imperial examination has been cancelled. What a hope for the family!
"Master Butcher, if I don't ask you to do hard work, the village will hire people to do the work. The people in the village are busy and have no time to give advice. Can you give me a price?"
The village manager was very happy to see that there were so many people there, and asked the other party how much they would pay to do the work.
"My family has seven people. My mother-in-law and I, four sons and eldest grandson, earn 140 pounds a year."
Tu Fei gave him a price, which averaged 20 qian per person per year, and he didn't even have to do hard work.
The head of the village shook his head: "Master Butcher like this, your family will have five people, you and four sons, and you will get 200 guan a year."
Your beehives come in together, and each hive will give you one hundred pence a year, that is, five people and..."
"My beehives have eight spleens per box." Tu Fei reported the number.
"Two hundred and forty dollars a year, your wife should take care of your parents-in-law, and the children still have to study.
In such a big place behind the library, a school will be set up and people will be found to teach the children.
The children in your family go to school on weekdays and are provided with three meals and no tuition fees. "
The headman raised the price. He already knew from what Zhu Xi said that the flower driver was really good and he was almost catching up with Han Han in raising bees.
Doing physical work is not worth the money, but doing technical work is.
Just like Wang Yiqian, how much is he worth if he is asked to move bricks? Asking him to manage people's work is different.
Tu Fei looked flattered: "That's a lot, I'll give you a lot. We have nine grandchildren, and we don't have to do anything. I'll give you one hundred and fifty guan."
“Master Tu, it’s settled, two hundred and forty strings, others don’t know how to do it, so don’t keep it a secret and not teach me.
This money will be used to buy your technology and then move it to the greenhouse in winter.
Regarding the methods of raising bees and extracting honey, the village also has some methods and will inform everyone.
For example, everyone now harvests honey and then squeezes it. As a result, the honeycomb is damaged.
There is a new method in Xiaqiu Village, shaking honey. After the honey is shaken out, the honeycomb is still there. I believe Master Tu knows what this means. "
The leader asks the other party to teach the technology to others, and at the same time throws out the technology and tells the other party that we know more than you, but we just don’t have time to teach.
"Ah? The honeycomb is not bad? Then...it will be fine in that year...How can this method be shown to others?"
Tu Fei was frightened. Could it be that Xiaqiu Village specializes in raising bees?
Why do I feel that if I know it, others know it, but I don’t understand what others know.
"There are so many skills in the world! If every skill is guarded, what else can Xiaqiu Village do?
There is also a method in Xiaqiu Village where bees are separated from their nests and intercepted directly. There is no need to splash water. It is like fighting and is too tiring.
When the village waits for the bees to separate from the nest, they directly move the original queen bee and the bees she brought with her to the new location. "
The director came up with another technique, but there was nothing we could do about it, we Hanhan were just so strong.
Tu Fei's legs were shaking and he wanted to kneel down. Could it be that he had met an ancestor?
"Master Tu, please promise, you have to keep the secret and don't tell it to the public. Xiaqiu Village will pass it on when you are tired. What use do you have?"
Zhu Ming was worried about Tu Fei beside him. You still refuse when Xiaqiu Village asks you to do something?
When Xiaqiu Village submitted the inscription to my father, his father's company had stopped construction.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhu. My family will definitely teach others patiently, so that they can do their jobs well and never hide anything."
Tu Fei wiped his sweat and agreed that Xiaqiu Village knew more than his own family. Just as shopkeeper Qin said, if he didn't want to pass it on to others, he would pass it on to others.
Moreover, I have heard that vegetables can be grown in greenhouses in winter, but I have never seen how to raise bees in them.
"This will trouble Master Tu." Li Chang smiled and nodded.
The two parties turned around and went to the Shangyuan County Yamen. Someone went to Tu Fei's honey shop to find someone, and everyone wanted to write a contract.
…
"Brother, I just learned today that raising a bee is not easy."
Zhu Feng was busy until the beginning of Shenshi. We didn't eat lunch, so we went outside Donghua Gate to eat barbecue together. We grilled it with a grate instead of skewers.
Zhu Biao came over to pick up the meal at noon. It was delivered by someone from Xiaqiu Village. He said that the village chief was busy and had no time for lunch, so he would barbecue here in the afternoon.
Zhu Biao sent the food back to the princess, and went to the main hall for another class. He was always hungry, just waiting for this barbecue!
The meat is marinated in the village, and it's just right to grill it at this time.
Zhu Fang told his brother about the survival wisdom of flower drivers, while using chopsticks to turn the meat over on the grate.
Charcoal is baking next to it, ready to be replaced at any time, and there is a stack of grates, also used for changing.
It’s hot and I can’t eat anything else. It’s okay to eat barbecue, even when it’s cold.
Zhu Biao added a piece of meat to his bowl for dipping: "The same goes for wars. The most troublesome enemies are those who attack steadily and are difficult to mobilize. Attacking by force will cause heavy losses and it is easy to lose."
"I feel that with Xiaqiu Village by my side, I am very stable." Zhu Xi said what was in his heart.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin is so complimentary." The chief expressed his modesty.
"That's right, we won't be able to eat all the honey in the future anyway. We started harvesting dried vegetables this year, and pickles are the best sellers.
I don’t know if there will be a war next year. If there is a war, the soldiers must be prepared.
The vegetables in Yingtian Mansion are obviously not enough, so I arranged for people to go to other houses to collect them, which can help increase the income of local vegetable growers. "
As Zhu Xi spoke, he turned to the matter of harvesting dried vegetables. This was Ju Biqi's business.
Some of the dried vegetables are used in restaurants, and most of them are used for pickling.
Different sauces were made in vats after vats, and the soybeans were shipped by truck.
"Your Highness, besides pickles, the best vegetables are dried seaweed, seaweed, kelp, and kelp.
We knew we were going to fight, so we made a lot of dried green onions, dried ginger, and dried carrots before the Chinese New Year last year.
If there is still a war, you need to prepare in advance. Even if the war is not fought, those things can still be sold. "
When the village chief talked about collecting dried vegetables, he mentioned dried green onions and ginger. When the soldiers in the war were cooking, they would grab a handful and put them in the soup.
According to Hanhan, it is not only delicious, but also supplements vitamins and chlorophyll, especially carrots, which are prone to night blindness at night, so just eat them.
Zhu Xi nodded: "You know, there are also dried shrimps and dried shrimps. They can be preserved with salt.
There will be more troops and horses available next year, thanks to you... Forget it, I won't boast, it's better to have more horses anyway.
Our joint business can not only make money, but also provide logistical assistance to the soldiers.
If we win the battle, we should share some of the credit. oops! What should we order then? "
Zhu Xiang started to worry as he talked. After he has made merit, how can he praise him?
He is a prince, what else can he give? Give money? Stop joking, are you short of money?
The same is true in Xiaqiu Village. People don't even want the iron coupons of alchemy books.
"Actually... the three archways at the entrance of the village look... missing. Yeah! Yes!"
There are things you want inside, a memorial arch, where you can cry when you worship your ancestors.
