At night, Li Youran entered the space with a pair of pruning shears, hoping to prune the branches of the peach and jujube saplings. He came to greet her and called out happily.
"I'm so happy today, Ang Ang." Li Youran smiled and touched Ang Ang's faucet, feeling that it was very excited.
Angang screamed twice more and ran towards the stream.
Li Youran looked up and was pleasantly surprised to find that the row of peach trees were in bloom.
The peach saplings are only more than two meters high, but they show strong vitality. Clusters of pink peach blossoms are covered with flowers. The breeze blows, and the peach blossoms sway gently, and the fresh and elegant fragrance ripples with the wind.
Li Youran slowly walked to the stream. The clear stream, the gorgeous peach blossoms in different postures, and the overflowing fragrance of flowers. Is this the legendary Taoyuan Wonderland?
If paired with a bottle of wine and a bamboo-backed lounge chair, then——
Tang Yin's song "Peach Blossom Temple" immediately came to mind:
Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, Peach Blossom Fairy in Peach Blossom Temple;
The Peach Blossom Fairy planted peach trees and picked peach blossoms in exchange for wine money.
When you are sober, you just sit in front of flowers; when you are drunk, you come to sleep under flowers;
Half awake and half drunk day after day, flowers fall and bloom year after year.
I wish I could die in my old age and spend my time in wine, and I don’t want to bow before my carriage;
Cars, dust and horses are enough for those who are rich; those with poor wine-gold branches are destined to be poor.
If the rich and the noble are compared to the poor and the lowly, one is on the ground and the other is in the sky;
If the poor and the lowly were compared to a chariot and a horse, he would have to drive and I would have nothing to do.
Others laugh at me for being crazy, but I laugh at others because they can’t see through it;
There are no tombs of heroes from the Five Tombs, and there are no flowers or wine to cultivate the fields.
Hahaha, Li Youran laughed, picking chrysanthemums on the east fence, lying drunk on peach blossoms, the indifferent state of life seemed not in line with his age.
He shook his head and started working with pruning shears. Peach blossoms are a good thing. In his hometown, those girls who love beauty like to pick peach blossoms every spring, then pound them into juice and apply it on their faces. It is said that
Can nourish the face.
According to past experience, the medicinal properties of peach blossoms in the space are definitely better than those outside. After thinning the flowers in a few days, the collected peach blossoms can be made into beauty and skin care creams. This is purely natural and does not add any chemicals.
By the way, we can let Xiaoying and Gu Weiwei try it first later.
Also, Ling Wanru?
"The peach blossoms on the human face reflect each other's red", this sentence suddenly appeared in my heart, and the delicate peach blossoms in front of me seemed to turn into Ling Wanru's bright smile.
Li Youran was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.
What's going on today, is he about to become a sour scholar? He laughed at himself, calmed down, and continued pruning the peach branches.
Ang Ang also seemed very happy. He was jumping up and down along the stream and rubbing against the peach tree trunks. The space was full of life and flowers, and the little guy seemed to be enjoying it.
So many plants in the space are blooming, but what seems to be missing? By the way, bees. These hard-working little things can not only pollinate crops, but also brew high-quality natural nutrients-honey.
Thinking of the taste of honey, Li Youran couldn't help but swallowed. When he was in Lijiagou, he couldn't afford candy because he was greedy, so he took his younger brother Li Fangcheng to the back mountains to look for wild honeycombs, and after finding them, he used tree branches to light them.
Xun, while the wild bees were dizzy from being smoked, take off your shirt and cover your head, with a sickle on your waist. Climb up the tree and cut off a large piece of the honeycomb, throw it into the prepared bucket, and then carry it away quickly.
Run. I don’t know how many times I was stung for this, and even scolded by my second aunt, but the sweet and mellow taste always made the two brothers forget about the threat of bee stings, and they struck again and again. This is what is called pain and happiness.
.
Fortunately, Li Youran knew the word "draining the lake to fish" at that time, which was also taught by Teacher Yang in the town's primary school. So he only cut a piece of the hive every time, so that the wild bees would not be so angry that they immigrated with their families. After being sad,
I can still rebuild my home, and with the hard work of these master builders, it won't take long for the honeycomb to be restored.
This is also one of Li Youran's happy childhood memories. After entering the city, he also tasted the honey sold in stores and supermarkets. Compared with the wild honey in the mountains, it is completely different. After tasting the taste carefully, you will find that it is greasy.
The sweetness is also mixed with a touch of bitterness and sourness, and there is no trace of the floral fragrance that natural honey should have.
Later I learned that most of the so-called honey on the market is actually made by vendors adding sugar to water and then adding a small amount of sulfuric acid. The longer it simmers, the darker the color becomes. It looks somewhat similar to the color of honey. Finally, a little bit more is added.
Fragrance, so that Li Gui becomes Li Kui and makes his debut.
High-end products are made of natural honey mixed with sugar water, syrup, etc. In today's society, this is considered a good conscience and is enough to receive the Medal of Moral Model.
As for real natural honey, it is basically rare in the market and can only be found but not sought. I am afraid you can only buy it directly from beekeepers, which may not be completely reliable.
There are more and more management agencies, but things are becoming less and less managed. This can be regarded as a strange circle, Li Youran sighed helplessly.
This society is like this, it's useless to think too much, just think about where you can get bees.
Spring hasn't arrived yet, so it's hard to find wild bees. It seems that you can only ask a professional beekeeper to get a box of domestic bees that are spending the winter indoors.
After pruning the branches, she went to the pergola to sort them out. Li Youran lifted the bamboo mats and palm mats rolled up at the edge of the space to the stream, found a place to spread out and lay down, and slept here tonight.
When Ang Ang saw Li Youran resting, he stopped playing and ran over to lie down next to him.
Accompanied by the gurgling water and the quiet fragrance of flowers, he relaxed and slowly fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Li Youran found Feng Daniu and asked him to inquire about the beekeeper.
"Boss, I have never come across this before. I will immediately mobilize my fellow villagers to inquire about it." Feng Daniu, wearing a gray uniform, said
He said. Now he has been promoted to the position of logistics director, which sounds quite similar to him. He is also in charge of two subordinates. For this reason, he is envied by many fellow villagers.
"We need to handle this matter as soon as possible. Not only can we contact fellow villagers, but we can also check online. I want to buy beehives and bees together. There are also related supporting tools and so on. Just ask the beekeeper for advice on these." Li Youran nodded.
Head, every time Feng Daniu asks him to buy something, he never asks about the specific purpose. This is a good habit.
Li Youran thought for a while and then said:
"By the way, Daniel, now that the stall is getting bigger, there are more and more things that need to be purchased. It seems that your logistics department needs a van. You can sign up for a driving school and learn a book. I'll go back and talk to the finance department.
Say."
When Feng Daniu heard this, he nodded happily. He had wanted to play with the steering wheel for a long time, but he had never had the chance. Now he got his wish.
After Feng Daniu left, Li Youran suddenly remembered that not only the logistics department, but also he should buy a car. Now he still rides the old 28 bicycle when going out. The store is very profitable, and he doesn't need to save too much. He should consider changing transportation.
It’s a tool. It’s just that it’s a bit troublesome to learn to drive. It takes too long. If you can’t do it, just learn to drive with an automatic transmission. I heard that the learning time is nearly half and it’s easy to get started. And considering the current level of urban traffic congestion, driving a manual transmission car is very difficult.
