Chapter 31
"Why are you free today and came here? Is the store not busy?"
"Hey, don't mention the business in the store to me. I feel like my head is going to explode these days. I'm making trouble in the store, so I come out for a walk."
When Zhang Hong mentioned the word business, Li Mei's face immediately changed. From what she said, Zhang Hong could hear that she seemed to be in some trouble.
"What's the matter? This is, the business in your store has always been good, why are you so angry."
Next, Li Mei talked to Zhang Hong, and there was a reason for her to be worried, and she couldn't just complain here for no reason.
It turned out that the cake shop opened by Li Mei was in some trouble. Honey was inseparable from making cakes and desserts, and among the honeys, the most scarce supply was pure wild honey.
Most of the current honey is artificially farmed, and the quality of the honey produced is lower. And the most important thing is that in order to make more money, many people add things to the honey.
The cake dessert made with this kind of honey is not only not as beautiful as it is, but also has a lot of bad taste. Li Mei has been worrying about the honey for a while.
"So that's the case, then why didn't you release the news in Beitang County, saying that you need to produce pure honey, I don't believe there is no one."
Of course Li Mei also knew this truth, and also used the method Zhang Hong said, but this Beitang County was different from other places.
"Zhang Hong, it's not that you don't know. There is no beekeeping in Beitang County. Naturally, there is no need to talk about wild honey. If there is no other way, I can only buy it from other provinces at a high price."
As Li Mei's good friend, when Li Mei encounters troubles, Zhang Hong will try her best to help her find a solution, but she doesn't have anything like honey.
Thinking about this, Zhang Hong suddenly thought that Xiao Yi gave herself a jar of honey a few days ago, just to make water for her daughter. After thinking of this, Zhang Hong said.
"By the way, Xiao Yi, where did you get the honey you gave me a few days ago?"
"I got it from a hive in the village, and the hives were built by the bees outside."
Xiao Yi knew what Zhang Hong was going to say, it was true that he gave Zhang Hong the honey, but Xiao Yi was not a beekeeper either.
"Yes, can you show me some?"
Before Zhang Hong had time to take the honey home, she brought it to Li Mei. Li Mei looked at the color of the honey in the bottle, and immediately showed a smile on her face.
"It's the color. Although it's not a good variety of honey, judging from the color, there is no other thing added to the honey."
Li Mei couldn't wait to open the lid, poured some on the porcelain spoon, golden honey flowed out, and tasted it.
"That's right. It's indeed wild honey. The taste is much better than those sold in the market. Do you still have these honeys, Xiao Yi?"
"Ah? I don't know how much you need, Sister Li. I can't guarantee that you will have it. I can only go back and look for it for you."
"Of course I want as much as I have. I can eat hundreds of catties. Now the market price of honey is between 120 and 180 per kilogram. If you can provide me with honey of this quality, I will give it to you." You set the price, three hundred per kilogram."
Xiao Yi did not expect that this honey was so sought after. If he hadn't met Li Mei today, Xiao Yi would not have found such a way to make a fortune.
I am not a beekeeper, but I can use Taoism to attract the queen bee to build a nest. If I have a queen bee, I don't have to worry about not having honey.
"That's good. I'll go home first and see if there are any wild beehives. By the way, I plan to raise bees. I don't need beehives to raise bees in the open air. When the time comes, I will send the honey I produce directly to Sister Li."
Raising bees to produce honey is not as simple as chickens laying eggs. Of course, Xiao Yi can't say here that he can guarantee that he can get honey, and it will take time.
Li Mei originally came to Zhang Hong's place to have a look. She wanted to plant flowers but didn't care to plant willows. When she met Xiao Yi, she directly solved one of her most troublesome problems.
"It would be great if that's the case. I'll buy a batch of honey from outside these days, and after your Xiao Yi's honey comes down, you have to take care of me as soon as possible."
"Definitely, Sister Li, don't worry, you'll be my big client in the future, there's no reason not to serve a big client well."
"I like to hear that. Then this matter is settled. If you have honey of this quality in the future, contact me as soon as possible. I will ask for it all."
During today's trip, Xiao Yi sold a total of 2,400 yuan for vegetables. With this method of growing vegetables, life at home will definitely get better and better.
After delivering the vegetables, Xiao Yi was not in a hurry to go home. The vegetables in the house were gone, and those vegetables in the vegetable garden would be sold out sooner or later.
Now Xiao Yi has a bolder idea, that is to start growing vegetables in his own land, first in small pieces, and then gradually expand the scale of planting.
After buying the vegetable seeds, this trip took a lot of time, and it was almost twelve o'clock when Xiao Yi came out of the agricultural material store.
"I didn't expect it to be almost noon. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have talked so much with that boss, so I could hurry home now."
Xiao Yi was holding a woven bag in his hand, and the woven bag contained vegetable seeds. There were all kinds of vegetables, and they were all varieties with a relatively short growth date.
A narrow alley, when Xiao Yi happened to pass by, he heard a woman's cry for help from inside, accompanied by a few men's rough voices.
"Help, don't come here."
"Bitch, I didn't even have ten yuan in my bag, and I scratched my face without asking. Can you scratch your third master's face?"
On the way home from get off work, Qin Xiaoyan encountered a few muggers who snatched her bag. Qin Xiaoyan scratched a person's face with her fingernails in a hurry.
"Don't come over, I don't have to. If you take another step, I will call someone."
"You shout, and no one stops you. Who in this area doesn't know that I can't afford to offend your third master."
The person who snatched Qin Xiaoyan's bag was Li San who had been beaten by Xiao Yi once before. Li San now had a clear red mark on his face, some of which were bleeding.
Li San felt that he had misunderstood the right person in snatching bags today, so he snatched Qin Xiaoyan's bag, only to find that there was only seven yuan in the bag except some daily necessities for women.
Seven yuan can't even afford a meal, and his face was scratched. Li San felt that he was at a loss, but after seeing Qin Xiaoyan's face clearly, Li San touched his chin with a smile and said.
"I didn't expect you to be poor, but you look pretty good. I've changed my mind, third master. If you accompany your third master to have a meal and a glass of wine, we'll let this matter pass."
"No, I know what you mean, I won't promise you."
Qin Xiaoyan could tell from Li San's eyes that Li San had bad intentions in his heart, and the so-called eating was just a cover.
"Hey, then don't blame me for being rude. What are you guys still doing? Catch her and take her to my room. When I'm done having fun, I'll let you try something new. It looks like it's still a baby."
As soon as Li San spoke, the four people around him immediately surrounded Qin Xiaoyan. How could Qin Xiaoyan, a girl, escape the grasp of five men.
