The next day, at the invitation of Li Youran, a construction team from a company specializing in courtyard ponds and swimming pools sent people over to investigate the site and negotiate the contract. After comprehensively inspecting the various tube wells, the distribution of pipelines and the soil characteristics in the backyard of the new store, the visitors
, drew a sketch, made a list of equipment and materials, and agreed on the fish pond plan with Li Youran.
The fish pond is above ground, rectangular, with a main pond of 12 square meters, and a small filter pond next to it. The walls and bottom of the pond are waterproofed, tiled, and equipped with submersible sewage pumps, filter equipment, water supply and drainage equipment and other water circulation systems, as well as heating equipment and lighting devices.
, a glass lighting cover is installed on the pool, which can be closed and locked, so that the sun can be used to the maximum extent for heating in winter.
The construction team came and quoted a price of 70,000 yuan. After bargaining, the price was finally settled on 60,000 yuan all-inclusive. Construction started three days later. Li Youran signed a contract with him and paid an advance payment of 10,000 yuan.
After seeing off the construction team, the waiter from the private restaurant came over and told Li Youran that they had received a second order from one of the first customers, Section Chief Zhang, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses. The reservation was scheduled for tomorrow evening.
.
Hearing the news, Li Youran was very happy. The private restaurant had begun to take off, which was a good sign. He found Liu Senjiang and communicated with him about matters related to the private restaurant, and explained that he would fully delegate power and allow Liu Senjiang to give full play to his potential.
Chef Liu is also very proud of his abilities and is determined to do something great.
When the reservation time came, Section Chief Zhang gathered a total of eight men and women according to the standard and drove three cars.
Chef Liu maintained a stable cooking level, and his busboys and waiters also cheered up and tried their best to make the diners on the table eat heartily and happily. Some of them said that they always thought that they had tasted everything after traveling all over the country for many years.
The delicacies from all over the country made me feel calm and calm. It turned out that I didn’t know that there was a heaven outside the world. Today was really an eye-opener. A group of people also touted Section Chief Zhang’s outstanding taste and extraordinary realm, which made Section Chief Zhang feel so proud that he felt like he was floating in the clouds.
Different from the last time, the last person to pay the bill was an out-of-town businessman. Only then did the waiter know the real guest of the meal. According to Li Youran's request, the service staff of the private restaurant should try their best to obtain as much food as possible without leaving any trace.
Customers' personal information is collected and filed, which will be of great benefit to future development.
When the diners left, their faces were all smiling and rosy (this is an elegant way of saying it, the common saying is as red as a monkey’s buttocks). It’s no wonder that all three bottles of the Luzhou Laojiao they brought with them were consumed. The waiter gave them each one.
He handed out his business card for ordering food, and after asking if he needed to contact the chauffeur service and receiving a negative answer, he respectfully sent the guests off.
Li Youran had to admit that what Fatty Luo said was right. These days, the wealth of rich people is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. According to the waiter's report, when the foreign businessman paid the bill, his face was calm and clear.
, there is not a trace of fluctuation in the eyes, just like buying a pack of cigarettes.
md, these rich people, officials' money is not in vain if they don't make it. Most of them are not easy to come by anyway. If they don't earn it themselves, they won't spend it in any decent place. Li Youran thought to himself, and the original trace of guilt in his heart was gone.
The smoke disappeared.
It seems that the reputation of private restaurants is slowly spreading, and repeat customers will become the main consumers. You don't have to worry anymore, just maintain the quality of the dishes.
Feng Daniu worked very hard. He quickly brought good news to Li Youran. After many inquiries, he finally found a beekeeper in the suburbs. The man promised to sell a beehive, including the bees that were overwintering inside, but the price was just smaller than that of the overwintering bees inside.
The market price was higher. Feng Daniu knew that Li Youran was in a hurry, so he didn't care anymore and agreed. Under the guidance of the beekeeper, he purchased the matching scraper, gloves, mask, white-haired bee brush, and honey harvester.
knife, and even bought a simple cylinder honey shaker made of tinplate.
The beehive was brought here in a rented van. It was made of pine boards. It was more than 60 centimeters long and about 30 centimeters high. It was not too new and was a standard ten-frame beehive. According to the beekeeper,
The bee species is Apis cerana, or Apis cerana for short.
Li Youran looked in along the ventilation hole and faintly saw a swarm of bees clustered together, vibrating their wings and making a buzzing sound. This is the way the bees survive the winter. With the queen bee as the center, other worker bees surround each other layer by layer.
They form a bee colony together to keep each other warm, so that the internal heat can be maintained. The worker bees will exchange positions every once in a while, allowing the outer bees to come in to warm themselves up and avoid freezing to death. This also ensures the health of the entire colony.
Have a successful winter.
The beehive and supporting tools were carried into the north warehouse. Li Youran sent the others away, closed the door, found a piece of gauze, dipped it in dilute disinfectant, and wiped the outer surface of the beehive. Then he pressed the top with his right hand.
Lid, with a thought, the entire beehive was put into the space.
At night, Li Youran entered the space to check. When he saw something new coming, he became curious and kept circling the beehive, sniffing it with his nose from time to time.
"Ang Ang, this is a bee with a bit of a temper. Don't mess with it." Li Youran smiled and patted Ang Ang's head. Ang Ang barked a few times, but he didn't know if he heard it.
The climate in the space is warm, which makes the bees think that spring has arrived and the bee swarms have dispersed. Hungry, they crawl around anxiously in the beehive, trying to find a way out to find food.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, you are busy." Li Youran lifted the beehive, walked to the upper stream of the stream, and placed the beehive on a slightly higher platform. Ang Ang also followed closely behind, wagging his tail, wanting to see
See what this weird big box is.
Li Youran bent down and gently pulled up the two gates of the beehive, revealing the slender door of the hive on the side. Soon, a dozen yellow-brown worker bees came out first, carefully explored the surroundings, and sounded the alarm.
After receiving the signal, they stretched their somewhat stiff wings one by one, vibrated at a high frequency, and took off with a flick of their feet.
The fragrance of peach blossoms called these keen scout bees, and they flew to the peach forest and quickly returned. They danced a "round dance" on the hive, which is the unique language of bees, telling their brothers that delicious pollen is not far away.
Here, everyone, go quickly.
A large number of worker bees suddenly became excited, swaying their antennae one after another, and rushed out of the nest door impatiently, flying towards the peach nectar source. Suddenly there was a buzzing sound in the air.
The surface of the beehive is covered with bees. It is said that the number of members in a bee family can reach 30,000 or 40,000. Of course, no one can count them clearly.
A few reckless bees even bumped into the tip of Ang Ang's nose, scaring the curious baby so much that he backed away and kept shaking his head.
The busy bees, the blooming peach blossoms, and the petals falling in the water are all so refreshing and unforgettable. A real pollination expert appears, and I can finally take a back seat. I just don’t know what space honey is.
How about the taste? I hope these little things can give me a satisfactory answer.
The little bee buzzes, buzzes, flies to the west, flies to the east.
At this time, the children's song from childhood sounded in Li Youran's heart.
