Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 222: Taking the Beehive

After hearing this, the village chief Li Huairen laughed and said, "Yueyue's idea is very good."

Then, the expression on the village chief's face became as bright as the sky appearing after the clouds have cleared away.

He rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go and inform the whole village now to gather at the west end of my village at 9:00 p.m. tomorrow. Let's gather everyone together and discuss this matter carefully."

After the village chief Li Huairen finished speaking, he smiled and winked at Qin. The village chief and his wife stood up at the same time and spoke to An Yue.

"Yueyue, let's go and arrange the meeting. Tomorrow at 9:00 p.m., Yueyue, don't forget to come to the west end of the village to discuss this matter!"

"I will definitely remember. Oh, by the way, Auntie, last time Yueyue asked you to borrow some candy and a bamboo hat. I bought them today and will go get them for you. This saves Yueyue from having to make a special trip."

After An Yue finished speaking, she stood up and went to the main hall to get some candy and a bamboo hat.

Qin smiled and said, "Girl, just use it. Why are you in such a hurry to return it?"

In the blink of an eye, An Yue had already taken out the candy and the bamboo hat. She handed them to Qin Shi with a sweet smile and said, "This is a loan and a return. It won't be difficult to borrow again!"

"What a clever fellow! Let's go!"

After saying this, the village head and his wife took a step forward and walked towards the gate of the yard.

An Yue walked them out of the yard and waved to them at last.

An Yue returned to the yard and quickly cut the remaining pig grass.

At this time, it was already You time.

The pig grass had been cut and An Yue stood up and washed her hands.

Take a hoe and some wood and go to the west corner of the yard to plant the stakes.

At this time, Chunzhi came back carrying two wooden barrels.

As soon as Chunzhi entered the yard, An Yue smiled and said, "Chunzhi is back just in time. Come and help me. Let's plant these pieces of wood in the ground and fix them in place."

Chunzhi put down the wooden barrel and walked towards Anyue, asking, "Miss, Chunzhi saw the village head and his wife just now. Have they been to our house?"

"Yes! Tomorrow at 9:00 p.m., our village will discuss digging a well."

"Well, Miss Mingri, go ahead and don't worry! I have Chunzhi at home. Chunzhi will water the potatoes planted in the black soil tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, my dear Chunzhi."

After a few seconds, several pieces of wood were planted upright in the corner of the west wall.

An Yue took the hoe, and the two of them walked out of the vegetable garden, walked out of the spring branches in the vegetable garden in the yard, and took the bucket to the kitchen.

Then, he walked up to An Yue and washed his hands with her.

An Yue smiled and asked, "You're tired from carrying water to irrigate the fields today, right?"

Chunzhi smiled and shook her head: "It's okay! Chunzhi is not tired."

After they washed their hands, An Yue pulled Chunzhi to sit on a bench in the yard and said, "You're tired, so just sit here and take a rest! I have to go to the back mountain and bring back the beehive."

After An Yue finished speaking, she turned around and went to her room to change into thick coarse clothes.

"Miss, Haruji will go with you!"

An Yue asked Chun Zhi with a sly smile: "Are you afraid of being stung by a bee?"

Chunzhi sat on the bench, scratched his forehead with a smile, nodded weakly and said: "Well, Chunzhi is naturally afraid."

An Yue changed her clothes, used An Nian's socks as gloves, put her long gauze skirt over her hat, and put all her equipment in the backpack.

She walked to the yard and said to Chunzhi, "So, Chunzhi, you stay at home. Niannian should be home soon."

After saying that, An Yue carried the backpack and walked towards the gate of the yard.

"Miss, you have to be more careful!"

"Well, don't worry!"

The sun sets in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun lengthens An Yue's figure.

Along the way, she walked quickly towards the foot of the back mountain.

After a while, they arrived at the bees' old nest.

She put down the backpack, put on the hat and socks that she had prepared in the backpack, and then walked quietly towards the beehive.

The bees at this time are no longer as active as they were at noon. Most of them have returned to the beehive to rest, and only a few are still wandering outside the beehive.

An Yue took a deep breath, bent down and carefully opened the lid of the beehive, then tilted her head slightly to take a look at the situation inside the beehive.

Just as she expected, there were already many bees clinging to the inner walls of the beehive.

An Yue gently closed the lid of the beehive and blocked the small hole reserved.

She picked up the beehive and placed it horizontally on the backpack, then gently tied the beehive to the backpack with a straw rope.

The bees were a little restless inside, but fortunately they were blocked tightly and couldn't fly out.

After An Yue tied up the beehive, she gently put the basket on her back and started walking towards home.

She muttered to herself, "The old nest must have plenty of honey. I'll get it another day."

At this moment, the sun had slipped into the hills, and An Yue soon reached home.

When they got home, the gate of the yard was open. An Yue walked into the yard carrying a beehive. The dog Ba Shi seemed to sense something was wrong. It barked at the basket on An Yue's back.

When An Nian heard Ba Shi barking, he hurried out of the room.

Seeing that it was An Yue, he asked, "What are you carrying, sister?"

An Yue made a 'silence' gesture to An Nian, nodded and smiled at him, and without stopping for long, walked straight to the southwest corner of the yard.

An Nian was so well behaved that he didn't ask any more questions. After changing his clothes, he went to the kitchen to help pass firewood.

An Yue gently put down the backpack in the southwest corner and untied the straw rope tied to the beehive.

Then place the beehive gently on a wooden stake that has been buried in the ground in advance, and then use straw ropes to secure the beehive to the stake.

At this moment, the bees in the beehive began to buzz and become restless.

The more restless they are, the less likely they are to open the small hole, and after being frightened, they may all fly away.

The beehive is made of woven bamboo silk, so it won’t suffocate the bees.

An Yue thought about it and decided that it would be better to make a queen bee cage while it was still dark, catch the queen bee and keep her in a small cage. This way, beekeeping would be more stable.

Then, she took the backpack and walked out of the vegetable garden, hurriedly began to look for bamboo threads and bamboo branches, and started to make a queen bee cage.

An Yue wanted to make a bamboo queen bee cage that was three fingers wide, so she found some hollow bamboo branches and bamboo strips.

She used a machete to carve rows of small holes on the bamboo branches. The holes were of the same size, diameter and distance, and she made eight in a row.

Then cut the bamboo strips into the same thickness and length as matchsticks and piece them together to form a cube.

Finally, use thin bamboo wire to tie the cube together again. After a while, an exquisite queen bee cage is ready.

An Yue put on her anti-sting gear, carefully opened the lid of the beehive, and soon found the queen bee.

The queen bee is much larger than ordinary bees. An Yue put the queen bee into a cage, closed the queen bee cage, and fixed the queen bee cage to the wall of the beehive.
