Old man Li has a new career, which makes him feel like he has regained his second life. He no longer dozes off in the fields, but walks back and forth along the ridges, looking around, as if he has already made plans for the rice fields.
Song Tan went up along the back mountain and carefully looked at the five boxes of bees he had bought.
After I brought them back and fed them with sugar water for two days, the cherry blossoms at the door began to bloom, with clusters of pink and white, blooming very beautifully.
The only problem is... there's only one.
If it weren't for the spiritual energy mixed in, it wouldn't be enough for these bees to eat.
The whole tree was suspended by Song Tan's spiritual energy and was surrounded by buzzing swarms of bees every day. It was quite scary when viewed from a distance.
But this kind of day won't last long.
As April gradually approaches, more and more flowers are blooming in the mountains and fields. Song Tan has planned that after April, he will make a flower bud bloom every day, giving the bees half a month to collect honey, and then plow the fields again.
We will strive to complete the rice transplanting work by late April and officially enter the vegetable planting season.
As for that bumblebee—it’s still hatching babies now!
This bumblebee was unlucky. It was caught by Qiao Qiao just after it came out of the cave, before it could eat the pollen.
At first, I could survive by relying on sugar water, and now I absorb spiritual energy in big gulps every day.
The child in the beeswax jar didn't grow much after hatching, but it did get fatter. Now it's rounder than a thumb.
The only thing that remained unchanged was the pair of fragile little wings, which simply could not carry this heavy body. They flapped in vain every day, so much so that Song Tan began to worry.
If you eat so much and get so fat, won’t you crush the entire flower when you try to collect nectar
She was worried in her heart, but her hand couldn't help but touch the round, plump, hairy and yellow butt again.
The bumblebee has probably been rubbed many times now. It was rubbed so hard that even the beeswax jar slid forward a bit. It didn't even extend its stinger, and it was obviously quite calm.
…
Song Sancheng was already picking up the shoulder pole to pick up pig food.
The five little pigs kept eating every day. Fortunately, he was strong, otherwise he would not be able to handle so much pig food every day. In addition, there were a group of chickens and ducks chirping next to him...
He looked both happy and sad.
The good news is that the little guys are full of vitality and look delicious.
What worries me is that they are still a long way from growing up, and my pig-feeding business will probably have to continue for a whole year.
Qiao Qiao was sweating in the vegetable garden, well-behaved and honest. The whole Song family was busy.
Except Zhang Yanping.
He was now sitting on a stool, crossing his legs and playing with his phone. Seeing Song Tan coming back with a frown on his face, he couldn't help but jokingly said, "Hey, what's wrong with our little peasant girl?"
Song Tan did not hide anything:
"I have fences all over my mountain. I can still keep an eye on the back mountain, but there are a lot of black fungus and white fungus sticks in the chestnut forest. I only use nylon ropes to block them. I'm afraid I won't be able to stop them when the harvest comes."
The chestnut forest was a gentle slope with paths up and down, but it was quite far from Song Tan's house. The chestnuts were still growing leaves, and the fungus was still in a state of stacking and ventilation, so the fence was put up and it was fine for the time being.
But I’m afraid that by the time the black fungus and white fungus are fully formed, someone will come and steal them.
After all, once you have eaten the food from her house, you will miss it.
When I tell Zhang Yanping about this, I am also thinking that there is strength in numbers, so if it doesn't work, I can just arrange for my cousin to take the three puppies to patrol the mountains.
At most, you can add a big white.
Zhang Yanping was not good at farming, and he did not notice Song Tan's terrible idea at all.
There were three little dogs whining beside his legs and gnawing at his hands with their little teeth. Could they be taken to patrol the mountains
If you really meet a thief, wouldn't it be like delivering vegetables to him
But he didn't know anything. After thinking about it for a while, he finally came up with an idea:
"You just want to stop them, right? That's easy! Plant some thorny vines around the edge of the mountain to encircle them. It's best to plant vines with lots of thorns so you don't have anywhere to attack them."
"Don't think about how many fruits you can bear. You need to figure out what your biggest need is. If you need protection, then focus on protection."
He raised his eyebrows and said smugly: "Tan Tan, make me another cup of your tea. Make me another cup and I'll give you a trick."
Song Tan doesn’t feel bad about his own family drinking tea, but he can’t give it to Zhang Yanping!
This cousin has never been to the fields yet.
"No. At most I can give you a few taels when you go back."
That's enough! What else do you need a bicycle for
Zhang Yanping immediately introduced seriously:
"You can also watch some videos online when you have time."
"I saw an introduction to golden cherries. Isn't that the thorny vine on the roadside here? But it has disappeared now."
"That thing is very beautiful when it blooms, but it's covered with thorns! The fruits are also full of thorns, and the vines are piled up, so it's impossible to pick them."
"Its peel can be eaten, used as a medicinal material, and can be used to make wine. It has high economic and medicinal value."
"You don't need to collect the fences. Just drive some sturdy stakes at regular intervals for support, and plant a circle of golden cherries inside and outside. It can not only deter people, but also bring in extra income."
As he spoke, he suddenly laughed:
"Tan Tan, if you have a good harvest of golden cherries and can't sell them, don't worry, I'll find someone for you."
Song Tan looked at him suspiciously, then checked online -
My goodness, no wonder Zhang Yanping looks so weird!
The biggest use of this thing among the people is to make wine, which is used to nourish the kidneys, strengthen the essence and enhance the yang!
She looked at Zhang Yanping thoughtfully:
"Brother, no wonder my aunt said you should go to the countryside to practice labor. Lying at home playing with your phone every day is really exhausting."
Zhang Yanping instantly exploded:
"What do you mean by weak? What do you know as a girl? I know whether it is weak or not."
Song Tan snorted: "What's wrong with a girl? I don't go online, or I don't learn knowledge? You are clearly hitting my sore spot, and you are angry out of shame."
There is nothing that a cultivator has not seen!
As she spoke, she picked up the hoe again:
"But, brother, since the golden cherries you mentioned are reliable, I'll cut a few more for you when the chives in my field are grown."
When she came back just now, she took a walk around the village and happened to see a fellow villager who was tidying up the vegetable field. He felt that he had planted too many leeks and now they were not growing strong due to lack of fertilizer. He was too lazy to do any more and simply changed to planting something else.
Song Tan didn't show any disgust at all. He carried a black fungus stalk from the mountain and exchanged it for a large piece of leek roots. He decided to deliver it to the Agastache field later.
Zhang Yanping stayed there for a moment, then suddenly reacted and his face turned red and white.
Of course, leeks also have a well-known effect - aphrodisiac!
He is a young guy, he can't bear to hear these!
