Chapter 184: I'll wait for you to grow up
Even a fool like Su Wan could have heard it. Jiang Yu almost called out her name.
She was excited and nervous. But was she really as good as he said?
Or is she being too sentimental again?
"Then there are many girls in this world who can make money. You have to take your time to choose and make your choice."
She deliberately joked, making Jiang Yu very helpless.
"Yes, there are so many girls in the world who can make money, but I probably only like the one with the sweetest smile."
"There are so many people with sweet smiles, and there is always someone better than you." Su Wan continued to make fun of him.
Jiang Yu really couldn't do anything about her. This girl did it on purpose.
He stopped talking, and Su Wan felt lost again. She pulled a piece of dogtail grass to play with it in annoyance.
Holding the dogtail grass, she recalled last year, when Jiang Yu also liked to hold it in his mouth, looking nonchalant.
If it were an ordinary person, this kind of image would only make people feel disgusted, but he can make it look so good, like a gentleman with bad taste.
When they reached the main road, a white dog passed by them, wagging its tail and looking very happy.
Su Wan suddenly thought of her cat Wangcai. If nothing had happened, he would probably be this big too.
When I turned around, I found that Jiang Yu was also looking at the dog, and he even started laughing as he looked at it.
Su Wan suddenly wanted to tease him. She stood there waiting for him, looking at him with a smile.
Jiang Yu felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at him:
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Su Wan waved to him and he walked towards her.
"What's wrong? What do you want to do?"
Looking at her expression, Jiang Yu knew that she had bad intentions, but he was willing to take the bait.
"Look down, there's dirt on your face."
Jiang Yu lowered her head obediently, but she scratched her chin with her hand and said:
"So good."
She teased him like a puppy and looked at him with a smug look on her face.
"Good boy, I was just kidding you. There's nothing dirty on your face." After Su Wan's provocation, he wanted to withdraw his hand and run away.
Before she could pull her hand back, Jiang Yu grabbed her wrist and she failed to escape.
Jiang Yu's eyes were filled with turbulent waves again, clearly reflecting Su Wan's face, which showed forbearance and excitement. In short, his eyes were not innocent.
"I was wrong. If you don't like it, I will never do this again."
Su Wan thought that he was treated like a puppy, and he was unhappy and angry.
As a result, Jiang Yu grabbed her hand, rubbed the back of her hand gently with his chin, and said seriously:
"I'll wait for you to grow up!"
She is still young now, and he has some feelings for her, but he can only try his best to suppress them, not wanting to scare her.
Because he was afraid that he would really lose control and want to kiss her, wouldn't that make him a beast?
Starting from emotion and ending with courtesy, Jiang Yu let go of her hand and walked away first.
Su Wan stood there in a daze, unable to recover for a long time. Jiang Yu in front of her had already turned around and called her.
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and catch up."
He calmed down quickly, and after the flirting, it was as if nothing had happened.
Only Su Wan was repeatedly brainwashed by the phrase "wait until you grow up".
What does he mean? Is he dissatisfied with his youth?
However, this body of hers was indeed still small, only fourteen years old, and Jiang Yu was five years older than her.
…
A few days later, more than a dozen beehives were delivered to the Su family. Su Wan placed two of the beehives in the back garden and placed the rest in a shed in the flower field for collective feeding.
If you are successful in attracting bees, consider adding more beehives.
However, there are some tricks to attracting bees. After the beehive is made, it needs to be roasted and smoked over a fire to dilute the smell of people inside.
Su Wan had asked about beekeeping families a long time ago. Honey had not yet become popular in this dynasty, so it was not circulated on the market.
The only honey that exists is the honey nest found in the wild. After tasting it, some people found that it is sweet, and the honey inside is especially good for the human body. Therefore, some people in Jin State went up the mountain specifically to look for this wild honey.
However, this kind of wild honey is very expensive on the market and is only for the nobility. Only people with status or wealth can afford it.
However, wild honey is rare. Most of it is purchased by the royal family, and a small portion is kept in the homes of princes and nobles. The amount that can be circulated on the market is also extremely expensive.
Su Wan boiled some sugar water and smeared it inside the beehive, which was the key to attracting bees.
Originally, the best wax is the one used on the beehive, but this is hard to find. Su Wan learned from a video in modern times that some large beekeepers use sugar directly to raise bees. Honey raised with sugar is naturally not as authentic as the honey made by the bees themselves, but it is enough to attract bees.
There are already many bees in the flower fields, flying around stealthily. This season is the time for bees to divide their cells, and they need to find a suitable place to build their hives. These sneaky bees are the scout bees sent out by the large group.
Su Wan called his third brother, Jiang Yu, and Jiang Sheng and his wife, and the group went to the fields to catch a lot of scout bees. They put them into the beehives in batches to let them get familiar with the environment.
The smell of the hive inside will make them relax their vigilance and choose this location as a hive.
Moreover, there are flowers nearby, and they like such places. Let the scout bees in to familiarize themselves with the environment, and then let them out after a cup of tea. Once they are familiar with the environment, they will go back to notify the main group to move.
When Su Wan went to check the next day, he found that most of the beehives were already full of bees. A small part of them had less but still had bees in them. This indicated that the bee trapping was successful and all that was left was for the bees to collect honey in the future.
Jiang Sheng and his wife have been learning while Su Wan has ordered more than 20 beehives, planning to fill the flower fields with them. These bees will be handed over to Jiang Sheng and his wife to take care of in the future.
Take care of the beehives, remove the dead bees in time, and prevent birds from attacking the bees.
In short, they will have work to do in the future.
Su Wan had already taught him how to lure bees, and she let them take care of the next twenty beehives themselves. She would come back to check on the situation two months later.
The most urgent thing is to rush back to Xiangzhou to do something.
Counting the days, the border war will break out in two months. By then, hundreds of thousands of troops will need a lot of money and food to feed them. Taxes after autumn will double, and the price of food will rise. Ordinary people will have to pay taxes, and they can only take food if they don’t have silver. But if the taxes double, people will have to pay the food but have nothing to eat, and they will have to go to the market to buy it.
Since ancient times, the world has been unstable and the common people have suffered. She had to go back and stock up as much food as possible at home before the price of food rose.
This war will last for several years, and it will only get more and more chaotic. The Xuanhe River basin has been suffering from constant floods, and the harvest has already been barren. By then, the price of food will have risen, so it is better to make plans in advance.
It stands to reason that war should not be launched in a year of disaster, but the border kept provoking, and seeing that the situation in Jin State was not good, they had already assembled hundreds of thousands of troops, so they had to fight.
