Chapter 211 Is this true?
"Secretary Qi, look, the golden part here is the honeycomb used to store honey, which accounts for about two-thirds of all the honeycombs."

Li Guoqiang reached out to open the lid of the hive, then pointed to the honeycombs in the beehive and introduced them softly.

"Ok!"

Qi Xuelin nodded slightly after hearing this, and then asked curiously, "How much honey do you estimate this box of bees can produce?"

"this."

Li Guoqiang hesitated for a moment, then gave a more conservative figure, "I estimate that I can produce between 40 and 50 kilograms!"

"so"

Qi Xuelin's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "This box of bees can produce more than 200 yuan."

"That's right!"

Li Guoqiang nodded and said seriously: "According to the current market price of honey, it is indeed like this."

"very good!"

Qi Xuelin nodded slightly, and then said with admiration: "If I remember correctly, one mu of land can produce about 350 kilograms of rice now, and one kilogram of rice is about 1 cent, which is 35 yuan."

"That means your box of bees is equivalent to ten acres of land."

"Moreover, the greater benefit is that compared to farming, it can save a lot of labor and costs. It is a typical case of small investment and high benefits."

"You've done a great thing!"

"You flatter me!"

Hearing Qi Xuelin's implicit praise, Li Guoqiang quickly smiled and said modestly, "I'm just trying to do it to the best of my ability."

"What a dare to think and do!"

Seeing how down-to-earth Li Guoqiang was, Qi Xuelin could not help but praise him: "As an educated youth from the city, you are not afraid of difficulties. Instead, you take on greater responsibilities and find ways to create benefits for the collective. You are indeed a young man of the new era!"

"The reason I came here this time, besides wanting to see the bee farm in person, is mainly to invite you as an outstanding representative of the educated youth to come to Beijing to report to the old man on your work."

"How is it? Do you have the confidence to complete the task?"

"This"

When Li Guoqiang heard the old man's name, his heart was shocked. He asked in disbelief, "Is this true? Can I really report my work to the old man?"

"Ha ha!"

Qi Xuelin was delighted when he saw this, then nodded and said, "Of course this is true. How could I possibly joke with you about such a big thing!"

"Thank you, leader!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted to see that Qi Xuelin really didn't seem to be joking, and then he quickly agreed: "I promise to complete the task!"

You know, that's the legendary figure he grew up listening to!

Although he was a time traveler, he still couldn't help feeling excited when facing such an extraordinary idol.

At the same time, he also completely understood Qi Xuelin's purpose.

His purpose was not to promote the development of the bee farm, nor to transfer him to other places, but just like Tang Shenglin, director of the Chang County Youth League Office, he simply wanted to gain some political achievements from him.

Perhaps, when he returns from Beijing to report on his work, he will be awarded some honorary rewards, and then thrown aside like used toilet paper to fend for himself.

Thinking of this, the excitement in his heart suddenly cooled down a lot, and then he glanced at Qi Xuelin indifferently.

Sometimes, a person’s value is not given by others, but created by his own efforts.

Moreover, he didn't even think highly of what Qi Xuelin could give him.

As long as he can see the old man smoothly, then what's the harm in letting him get some benefits?

"very good!"

Seeing Li Guoqiang so enthusiastic, Qi Xuelin immediately showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then he said softly: "Then you should prepare well in the next two days. I will ask the county to help you get the certificate. When you get the certificate, you will immediately leave for the provincial capital, and then go to Beijing with other outstanding educated youth representatives."

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang nodded hurriedly and agreed.

In fact, he had never thought that he would return to Sijiu City in this way.

Thinking that he would be able to see his family soon, his mood suddenly brightened.

After finishing the business, Qi Xuelin didn't want to stay any longer and soon asked to leave.

When Xu Guangfu and others heard that Qi Xuelin was about to leave, they hurriedly tried to keep him and said that the village had already prepared food.

Then, He Shijun also pleaded a few more times, and finally Qi Xuelin agreed to stay for a simple meal.

While Qi Xuelin and others were entering the room, Xu Guangfu hurriedly pulled Li Guoqiang aside and asked in a low voice, "Qiangzi, how much honey do you think we should give to the leaders?"

"Take the honey?"

Li Guoqiang was slightly stunned, then asked with some confusion.

"Yup!"

Xu Guangfu nodded, and then said seriously: "The leaders have come here with great difficulty, we must give them some local specialties!"

You know, he was counting on Qi Xuelin to say a few words for him so that he could be promoted to the commune and become a person who eats public food!
"That's it!"

Li Guoqiang didn't expect Xu Guangfu to be so keen on giving gifts. Hearing this, he could only nod and agree, "Okay, then I'll go get some honey now."

"There are sixteen of them in total. If each of them gives two kilograms as a token of appreciation, that should be enough."

"Two pounds?"

Xu Guangfu frowned, then asked hesitantly, "Is two kilograms a little less?"

"Ha!" Li Guoqiang was happy to hear that, and then he said unhappily, "Uncle Fu, don't you think about how long we have been raising these bees? If we send more, the bees themselves will have nothing to eat."

"Forehead"

Xu Guangfu's expression froze, then he nodded somewhat angrily and said, "Okay then! Then give each of them two kilograms as a token of appreciation!"

"Then I'll get busy first!"

When Li Guoqiang saw that Xu Guangfu agreed, he hurriedly turned around and walked to the simple kitchen, picked up a large bucket and walked towards the beekeeping area.

Since he didn't prepare bottles for the honey in advance, he could only cut off the beehives and wrap them up in oil paper.

Although it is a little inconvenient to eat, from another perspective, it can better highlight the authenticity of the ingredients.

In fact, if Xu Guangfu had not insisted, he would not have wanted to give honey to Qi Xuelin and others, so as to prevent others from thinking that their apiary was easy to make money and coming to take advantage of them from time to time.

In addition, he didn't have anything to ask Qi Xuelin and others for help. Instead, it was Qi Xuelin and others who needed his cooperation to achieve political achievements, so naturally he didn't need to go out of his way to please them.

Soon, he picked up the bucket and harvested all the beehives. In the end, he obtained 1500 kilograms of honey combs. At the same time, he also used Jin Dad to get an extra kilograms of honey combs, which were worth about yuan. It was a huge profit.

Moreover, honey does not need to be included in the planned supply like other materials such as grain and pork, so it can be sold to purchasing stations openly just like other mountain products such as mushrooms and fungus.

However, as the manager of the apiary, he still has to avoid suspicion to some extent. Even if he wants to sell it, he cannot choose to sell it at this time to prevent people from accusing him of embezzlement.

Fortunately, he is not short of money now, and he has an increasingly large storage space. He can store the honey first and take it out when needed in the future.

When he packed all the honey combs, Qi Xuelin and others had already finished their meals. Then, with satisfaction on their faces, they took the oil paper bags from Xu Guangfu and others.

After all, this can't be considered as bribery, it's just some local specialties given by fellow villagers.

Before leaving, Qi Xuelin did not forget to tell everyone that Li Guoqiang would soon go to Beijing to report on his work as a representative of outstanding educated youth. He then instructed the county leaders to issue a certificate to Li Guoqiang as soon as possible. Then he patted Li Guoqiang on the shoulder, turned around, got into the car and left.

If Li Guoqiang's deeds had not been reported in the newspapers, causing a certain response in society and being quite impressive, I'm afraid that a big shot like Qi Xuelin would not have taken the time to come here.

The main reason why he came here was to be on the safe side and to prevent the people under him from exaggerating the facts and thus causing trouble.

Xu Guangfu, Sun Maocai and others were naturally unaware of his thoughts. When the car drove away, they were still standing there, looking at it reluctantly, as if they saw the scene of themselves being promoted and reused.

As for Li Guoqiang, he had already been pulled into the house by Qu Yinfeng, Xu Yuping and others, and then hot meals and dishes were served to him so that he could have a good bite of the hot food.

I have to say, it’s your own woman who cares about you the most!
After he finished his meal, Xu Guangfu, Sun Maocai and others remembered him as their great contributor, and rushed into the house to ask about reporting their work in Beijing.

When they learned that Li Guoqiang was most likely going to report to the old man in person, they instantly became envious and their eyes turned red.

"Qiangzi, have you asked Secretary Qi if you can bring someone with you?"

"Yes! Qiangzi, I have always dreamed of going to Sijiu City to visit the old man! Can you take me with you?"

Hearing everyone's request, Li Guoqiang shook his head without thinking and said, "Sorry, I don't have the final say on this matter. I still have to report to the provincial capital first, and I don't know what the situation is."

"Forget it!"

Seeing Li Guoqiang speak so straightforwardly, Xu Guangfu couldn't help but wave his hand in disappointment and said, "Qiangzi has to listen to the arrangements from above, so let's not embarrass him!"

"Instead of thinking about these things, you might as well think about who will be in charge of the apiary when Qiangzi is gone?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of Sun Maocai, Ma Changshun and others immediately lit up, and then they all started to compete for the management rights of the apiary.

If I can replace Li Guoqiang and manage the apiary for a period of time, it will be an impressive achievement that I can show off later.

Especially when you are promoted and reused in the future, with this qualification, you will be ranked ahead of others.

However, after arguing for a while, neither of them could convince the other, and finally they had to leave the issue to Li Guoqiang to decide.

When Li Guoqiang saw this situation, he immediately came up with a solution that would satisfy both parties.

"Well, I think we should let everyone take turns to be on duty!"

"Okay! I think this method will work!"

"Yes, that's what I think we should do!"

The next moment, everyone spoke up to express their agreement, and then began to discuss how to arrange the shifts, and asked Li Guoqiang what they needed to do while they were on duty.

Upon seeing this, Li Guoqiang immediately suggested that they start taking shifts starting today.

This way, he can familiarize himself with the work at the apiary while he is still there, and can also avoid any unexpected changes that would prevent him from having enough time to hand over the work.

After hearing this suggestion, Xu Guangfu and others nodded in agreement without saying a word.

Now, in their eyes, the apiary is not only their future cash cow, but also a ladder for them to climb up.

Therefore, anyone who has a bit of ambition will not refuse to gild himself and increase his qualifications.

However, they did not know that the main purpose of Li Guoqiang's proposal was to prepare for his own return to the city in the future.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will take this opportunity to report on his work in Beijing, use the various resources at his disposal to find someone to arrange a formal job for him, and realize his plan to return to the city for development.

Since he possesses such extraordinary abilities, why should he follow the rules and stay here to waste his time?
Besides, he didn't want Luo Huijuan to wait for him too long!
The only thing that worried him was whether he would be forced to stay here after meeting the old man?
If this is true, then he can only go back to the previous plan, expand the apiary, and then look for an opportunity to open an office in Sijiu City.

Soon, the news that he was about to go to Beijing to report on his work spread throughout the village.

After knowing this, the villagers just felt a little envious, but Shao Ruian, Shang Xiuzhen and other educated youth felt like they had eaten ten kilograms of lemons and were almost dying of sourness.

Originally, they just thought that Li Guoqiang was one step ahead of them and had made a name for himself in the village. However, they didn't expect that Li Guoqiang could get the opportunity to meet the old man with the help of a small apiary.

If they had known this would happen, they would have definitely deepened their relationship with Li Guoqiang in advance!

Maybe now they will have the chance to follow Li Guoqiang!
Thinking that they had missed such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, they immediately felt extremely regretful.

Then, after finally getting off work, they all ran to Li Guoqiang's house at the same time, hoping to cram and establish a better relationship with Li Guoqiang.

Especially Pan Qiaoyan, Shen Fengxia and Shang Xiuzhen, the girls who already had a certain liking for Li Guoqiang, their eyes were almost tearing when they saw Li Guoqiang.
