The two of them didn't know why she was so angry, so Xiao Zhiwan opened her mouth to test:

"Did Xiaoyuan bully you? Tell me. My eldest sister will make the decision for you."

"Sister! You've screwed me up this time. I thought I had accepted a good job and had a big meal, but instead I ended up in a stinky puddle. I didn't even take a few bites of the meal, and I almost felt sick and vomited!"

Gu Sitian collected her emotions and complained.

"Did I trick you?"

Xiao Zhiwan was a little surprised. She asked Gu Sitian to go to the banquet in her place. Something must have happened in the middle. She quickly asked:

"What happened? Where is Xiaoyuanren?"

"I'm here."

Qi Fengyuan was originally outside the courtyard gate. Hearing them mention him, he couldn't hide anymore and came to sit in the small pavilion.

Mo Qingying served everyone some tea and listened quietly. She was also curious about what happened.

From her understanding, Gu Sitian sometimes likes to show off her temper, but mostly in jest. This is the first time she has seen him so angry.

Gu Sitian hesitated to speak. She really didn't know how to speak, so she could only look at Qi Fengyuan.

Qi Fengyuan took a sip of tea, and then told them about the dinner trip to Pianshan County in detail.

"..."

Xiao Zhiwan and Mo Qingying were shocked after hearing this, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Under the moonlight, the courtyard fell into silence.

"Are all the Xiao family people like this..."

After a while, Mo Qingying broke the silence and couldn't help but ask this question.

First there was Sun Tzu Jian from the Alchemy Hall, and now there is Xiao Jiyang from Pianshan County. Each one is more playful than the other, which makes people question the Xiao family's ethos.

Xiao Zhiwan is quite embarrassed. After all, she is the eldest lady of the Xiao family. If something like this happens, her face will be disgraced.

She knows that many members of the Xiao family, especially immortal cultivators with spiritual roots, have some special hobbies in private.

Mrs. Xiao, including the previous head of the family, have tried to suppress this evil trend more than once, but they still continue to be suppressed.

There is no way around this. Strength is directly proportional to desire. The more we suppress, the more counterproductive it is sometimes and is not conducive to unity and development.

Therefore, as long as she doesn't go too far and causes trouble, Mrs. Xiao can only turn a blind eye.

She can't control other people, but in Qi Mansion, such evil spirits must not be allowed to blow in, not even a trace.

The three women had a clear understanding of each other, and they all thought of going together. After making eye contact, they all turned to Qi Fengyuan.

Qi Fengyuan didn't know what they were thinking, so he sat upright and immediately expressed his stance:

"It's too late for me to cherish you, so how can you do that kind of thing? I dare say that these people's desires are placed where they shouldn't be, and they are on their own path to immortality. Sooner or later, we will be able to surpass them, look down on them, and use them.

, there is no need to get angry about this kind of thing."

"I'm just angry! That guy treats his women like goods, and those women are shameless and obviously have a big belly. I..."

Gu Sitian was still angry. When she thought of Xiao Jiyang's wretchedness and his group of wives, she felt sick and continued to curse:

"Look at his wretched appearance, with a big, flat nose and nostrils pointed upward, like a bull's head. I really want to slap him on the head with an iron fist!"

"Bull head?"

Hearing this adjective, Qi Fengyuan found it funny. Xiao Jiyang did look a bit similar, so he immediately answered:

"Yes! I kill a tauren with one sword!"

In the next month, Qi Fengyuan was busy with the apiary.

There were originally two acres of spiritual rice fields in Liuxi Town. After the harvest, they were plowed over again, and now they are planted with Daiyin flower seeds.

As for the cooperation with Pianshan County, Qi Fengyuan basically did it himself and no longer allowed Xiao Zhiwan to come into contact with Xiao Jiyang and other tribesmen in Pianshan County.

Although Qi Fengyuan refused openly and secretly, Xiao Jiyang still refused to give up, thinking that he was waiting for a price, so he offered some more benefits.

Qi Fengyuan didn't take it, so he tried his best to avoid contact with Xiao Jiyang.

He can't afford to offend you for the time being, but when he can, he'll have something for you to look good on.

With the completion of various renovations and the expansion of the apiary, new problems have emerged.

The more bees you raise, the more honey you consume.

Especially for newly invested apiaries, new bee colonies need to be put in. When the pollen and nectar are not sufficient, some honey or sugar must be added artificially to maintain the daily life of the bee colonies.

As a result, honey production has been slow to increase, and most of it is spent on growing bee colonies.

The more serious problem is that with such a large number of bee colonies, once the autumn and winter come, when flower sources are greatly reduced, many bee colonies will not be able to survive if there is not enough food supply.

Therefore, the problem lies in food.

In addition to honey, bees’ favorite food is white sugar. If you replace it with white sugar, you can save a lot of honey.

By stocking up on enough sugar, you can survive autumn and winter safely, and even deal with some bad weather.

For example, on continuous rainy days, the bee swarms cannot go out to collect flowers and make honey, and can only continue to consume the stored honey. As time goes by, the bee swarms will be in trouble.

At this time, putting sugar in it is the best rescue and can also save a lot of honey.

Qi Feng is far from short of money, but he can't buy enough sugar.

There are several reasons.

Lujiao Mountain City, including the surrounding mortal towns, does not have many places that produce sugar, and the output is very fixed.

Sugar is a very interesting product. It is a source of sweetness and can provide calories. Everyone loves to eat it.

But it cannot replace food, and it cannot be diversified, because if you plant more sugar, you will have less other grains, which will cause big problems.

In human history, no matter which plane the world is in, there have been many wars caused by sugar.

In troubled times, sugar is often a more reliable hard currency than gold and silver.

Sugar is like a balance point of social conditions. It doesn’t matter if it is too much or too little. Once it is tilted, it will lead to serious consequences.

Therefore, even if he is not short of money, Qi Fengyuan does not dare to let Xiao Zhiwan go shopping for sugar. If it causes turmoil in the world, he cannot afford the consequences.

There are two ways to solve this problem.

One is to grow your own and be self-sufficient, just like building an apiary.

This method is slow to produce results and requires a lot of investment. Take sugarcane, the crop with the highest sugar content, as an example. Planting and harvesting require a lot of manpower and material resources. The harvest is only once a year, and you have to build an additional sugar workshop, which is very troublesome.

Another way is to purchase it elsewhere and look for a stable sugar supply.

The Xiuxian Continent is vast and rich in resources, and there are also different customs and customs in the mortal world. There are even many isolated places, each with its own specialties.

If we can find a sugar-producing land, the problem will be solved and a lot of effort will be saved.
