Chapter 206 The Technician's Surprise

After eating and drinking, everyone left in a drunken state, leaving only Li Guoqiang and Xu Guanglu on night duty while they discussed arranging for the militia company to take turns on night duty.

In fact, almost every household in the village has one person serving as a militiaman in the militia company, and some families even have fathers and sons fighting together, like Xu Guanglu.

Therefore, this can also maximize the benefits to the villagers without worrying about causing too much opinion.

Since the people on night duty are different every day, in addition to the personal belongings that each person brings, all other utensils need to be prepared by the public, such as kettles, firewood, flashlights, etc.

In addition, the night duty procedures and shift handover matters must also be determined to avoid not knowing what to do or causing disputes if something happens in the future.

Li Guoqiang took out a pen and paper and placed them on the table on the kang. Based on the suggestions made by Xu Guanglu, he kept writing and revising, and finally came up with a more complete plan.

At that time, after Xu Guangfu and Sun Maocai have reviewed it, it can be officially implemented.

After discussing the important matters, Xu Guanglu fell asleep directly and soon began to snore, obviously he was drunk.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but shook his head and laughed, then reached out to cover Xu Guanglu with a quilt to prevent him from catching a cold.

Although it was already spring, the temperature outside was still quite cold at night, so cold that when he opened the door and walked out, he could see a white mist when he exhaled gently.

He stood at the door of the wooden house, quietly looking at the silent apiary in front of him, with a slightly melancholy look on his face.

Before he knew it, half a year had passed since he came here, and he didn't know what the situation at home had become.

Although he would receive letters from home from time to time, he would inevitably miss his family over time.

Fortunately, the apiary has now started smoothly. If all goes well, when the honey is harvested in the fall, he can ask the brigade and the commune to give him a letter of introduction to return to Sijiucheng on the grounds of finding a high-priced market.

Then, when the scale of cooperation expands, we will find an opportunity to set up an office in Sijiu City, so as to achieve the goal of staying in Sijiu City for a long time.

As for whether Xu Guangfu and others were willing to let him go, that was not even within his consideration.

At worst, he could offer his position as apiary director in exchange.

Faced with such huge benefits, he believed that most people would agree.

At that time, he only needs to spend the next two years, waiting for the social situation to ease a little, and waiting for a new round of factory expansion, and then he will be able to stay in the city completely by recruiting workers back to the city.

Moreover, as long as he was willing to spend money, he could find someone to fake marry Xu Yuping and let her go to the old city with him openly.

Alternatively, he could also spend money to buy work points and have Qu Yinfeng, Xu Yuping and the others move to Sijiu City.

Anyway, money and supplies are not a problem for him.

In addition, after such a long period of adaptation and thinking, he has completely transformed from an ordinary person in his previous life into a mature man who does whatever he wants without breaking the rules.

He knew that the word "obedient" was used to describe ordinary people who had no ability. For a chosen one like him, as long as he did not go against the general trend and was not too high-profile, he could do whatever he wanted.

Everything is for living a happier life.

Soon, three days passed.

After a series of arrangements and adjustments, all affairs of the apiary were on track.

Among them, Qu Yinfeng, Xu Yuping, Li Xiuqin, Ma Guifang and Zhang Mei'e are responsible for cleaning the apiary every day, observing and recording the status of the bee colony, and promptly discovering and reporting various abnormal situations.

The people from the militia company work in groups of two every day on night duty to protect the safety of the apiary.

As the person in charge of the apiary, Li Guoqiang has been sorting out various affairs in the apiary these days, and teaching Qu Yinfeng and others some basic knowledge and precautions of raising bees.

After all matters were in order, he went into the mountains again under the pretext of looking for beehives and ran his own private apiary.

During this period, Erniu and Sanwazi, a brother and sister, gradually adapted to going into the mountains to look after the bees every day.

They even took the initiative to ask Li Guoqiang to teach them about raising bees, and their work attitude was very positive.

In order to encourage them, Li Guoqiang went to the county town and bought them a lot of snacks. He also accelerated the progress of learning Chinese medicine, acupuncture, pharmaceutical preparation and other skills so that Liang Xianglian could be cured as soon as possible.

On this day, Li Guoqiang had just returned from the mountains and added a hive of bees to the apiary as usual. Then he saw Xu Guangfu walking into the apiary with two strange middle-aged men with a passionate look on his face.

"Come here, Qiangzi, let me introduce you. These two are livestock technicians that Director He of the commune invited from Tie City. They came here specifically to help guide the work of our apiary. If you have any questions, you can talk to them."

"Technician Mou, Technician Pang, this is Comrade Li Guoqiang, the person in charge of our bee farm. If you have any questions later, you can go and ask him."

Soon, Xu Guangfu gave a brief introduction to both parties.

When Mou Zetian and Pang Yunchun heard that the handsome young man in front of them was the one who helped Jinshanbao Production Brigade set up the apiary, they couldn't help but feel surprised.

Then, without waiting for Li Guoqiang to say anything, they hurriedly said, "Comrade Li Guoqiang, can you take us to see the beehive first?"

"can!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang immediately nodded and agreed, "Please follow me."

After saying that, he turned around and took Mou Zetian and Pang Yunchun towards the beekeeping area.

Before they got closer, they heard a buzzing sound in their ears, which gave people goose bumps and also dispelled the doubts in Mou Zetian and Pang Yunchun's hearts.

At first, when they learned that the Jinshanbao Production Brigade had built a large-scale apiary, they were a little skeptical.

Now, after seeing the scene of the swarm of bees flying, they had to believe it was real.

Then, they couldn't help but feel puzzled about Li Guoqiang. They didn't understand why he had such ability at such a young age.
So, they quickly asked Li Guoqiang various professional questions, trying to find out his background.

However, what they didn't expect was that Li Guoqiang not only answered the various questions they raised fluently, but also asked them many difficult questions in return, which almost stumped them.

In order to avoid embarrassment, they did not dare to ask any further questions and hurriedly took out paper and pen to record various information about the apiary.

After all the data were almost registered, they asked Li Guoqiang to randomly open three or four beehives, carefully check the conditions inside the boxes, and compare them with the previously registered data.

Eventually, they found that the apiary was doing much better than they thought. It could even be said that even if they were to run it themselves, they would not be able to do it so well.

Li Guoqiang saw that Mou Zetian and Pang Yunchun looked a little strange, so he asked hurriedly, "Technician Mou, Technician Pang, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with these bees?"

"without!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Zetian was slightly stunned, then quickly waved his hand and explained: "There is nothing wrong with your bees. You just need to check them regularly in the future."

"That's it!"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows, and more or less guessed why Mou Zetian and Pang Yunchun looked so unhappy. He nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work!"

"It's not hard, it's not hard!"

At this time, Mou Zetian and Pang Yunchun did not dare to be arrogant in front of Li Guoqiang, for fear that Li Guoqiang would slap them in the face in front of Xu Guangfu.

You know, before they came, they promised Director He Shijun of Majiadian Commune that with their presence, the apiary of Jinshanbao Production Brigade would be able to reach a higher level.

Nowadays, let alone reaching a higher level, being able to keep up with Li Guoqiang is already considered good enough.

Although they didn't know if there were any better bee farms elsewhere, they were sure that there was basically no one in the entire Tie City who knew how to raise bees better than Li Guoqiang.

Rather than saying that they came here to provide guidance on the work, it would be more accurate to say that they came here to learn from Li Guoqiang.

Not long after, they finished looking at the beehives and followed Li Guoqiang back to the wooden house, ready to explain the situation to Xu Guangfu so that people would not think they were there to eat and drink for free.

"What? You guys are leaving now? Didn't we agree to stay in our production brigade for three days and give us guidance on the work of the apiary?"

When Xu Guangfu heard that Mou Zetian and Pang Yunchun were planning to say goodbye and go back, he couldn't help but ask anxiously.

"that."

Facing Xu Guangfu's expectant gaze, Mu Zetian said with a little embarrassment: "To be honest, Comrade Li Guoqiang's knowledge of beekeeping is much better than ours. We can't help at all if we stay here."

"So we plan to go back early and report the situation to our leaders to see if we can set up a test site here to study the technology of raising bees."

"Really?"

Xu Guangfu's eyes widened when he heard this, and then he quickly asked, "Are you serious? Can our bee farm really be used as a test site?"

“I’m not sure about this yet!”

Mu Zetian shook his head, then said seriously: "However, I will try my best to advise my leader when I return."

"After all, our country is now in a period of reconstruction. If we can summarize a set of effective beekeeping techniques and then promote them so that more places and more people can raise bees, it will definitely help the country's development."

"Yeah!"

When Xu Guangfu heard Mou Zetian talk about the importance of the bee farm, he was instantly delighted. He nodded and agreed, "We originally considered that beekeeping doesn't cost much money and can earn a lot of money, so we spared no effort to support Comrade Li Guoqiang to do it."

"That's right!"

After hearing what Xu Guangfu said, Mou Zetian could not help but nodded and sighed: "Compared with raising pigs and chickens, beekeeping can be regarded as the one with the smallest investment and the largest return."

"Moreover, as long as there is enough nectar source, the bee farm can continue to expand, which is very suitable for rural areas to engage in sideline business to increase income."

"It's a pity that we don't have that many people who know beekeeping techniques, so we can't expand this business quickly."

When he said this, his face was full of regret, and he was obviously feeling sorry for the inexhaustible sources of nectar on the country's vast land.

"fine!"

Seeing this, Xu Guangfu quickly spoke to comfort him: "Look, we have already started it now!"

Hearing this, Mou Zetian and Pang Yunchun looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

You know, there are only three or four technicians in the entire iron market who truly understand how to raise bees scientifically.

Therefore, no one had expected that someone in the Jinshanbao Production Brigade would be able to run such a large-scale apiary and run it so well.

Thinking of this, they all turned their heads to look at Li Guoqiang who was sitting quietly beside them. There was admiration and respect in their eyes, as well as a hint of uncontrollable bitterness.

They are city-level technicians who have attended college, but in the end they are not as good as a high school graduate.

For so many years, I have been living a dog's life.

At this time, Li Guoqiang was completely unaware that his outstanding performance had already ruined the mentality of Mou Zetian and Pang Yunchun. He was thinking about the matters concerning the apiary experimental site.

In fact, his ideal goal was to cooperate with relevant institutions in Sijiu City, rather than with the departments where Mou Zetian and Pang Yunchun were located.

If he really cooperates with Mou Zetian and Pang Yunchun, it will be difficult for him to return to Sijiu City in the future.

Therefore, he hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Technician Mou, Technician Pang, I think it is a bit early to talk about the test site now. It is better to wait until the honey is produced and see how the harvest is."

"Otherwise, if the final harvest is too little, it will be difficult to explain to the leaders."

As soon as this was said, it immediately attracted the attention of Mou Zetian and Pang Yunchun, who nodded hurriedly and agreed: "Yes, you are right. We don't know what the results will be yet, so it's a bit early to do a trial."

"Ok!"

At this time, Xu Guangfu also reacted and quickly said, "I think we should do as Qiangzi said just now! If we can achieve good results, it will be easier for you to talk to the leaders about this matter."

"to make!"

When Mu Zetian saw that Xu Guangfu also agreed, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Then it's settled!"
