Yun Qishi subconsciously shook her head and looked at Yun Dazheng, saying, "Why are they coming after us? Old man, I'm not saying this to be mean, but what do we have that's worth their attention? They say we earn a lot a month, and after covering our expenses, we can still net over a hundred. But think about it, that's just a small amount of money in our little town. People might be envious if they heard about it. But if they're really rich, who would even notice us?"
"I don't know who our neighbors are, but they must be rich, right? They wouldn't even look at our little bit of money."
“Old woman…” Yun Dazheng shook his head, drawing out his voice, and said, “You’ve misunderstood. When I said they’re coming for us, I didn’t mean they’re after our money. I think they’re after our technology.”
"Technology? What technology do we have?" Yun Qi asked, somewhat surprised.
Yun Dazheng glanced outside and said in a low voice, "We may not have much technology, but others don't know that."
"Think about it. In the eyes of outsiders, we have special beekeeping techniques. With these techniques, we can earn more than a thousand yuan a year with ten bee colonies. If they got these techniques, set up a large apiary, and raised hundreds or thousands of bee colonies, wouldn't they be able to earn ten thousand or even a hundred thousand yuan?"
"Think about it yourself. Back in the day... when we were all young, didn't the foreign firms in the city also buy honey? I heard people say back then that our country's honey was sold to foreigners."
"Does that mean foreigners don't eat honey anymore?"
"Our honey isn't selling because of the small quantity. If we could scale it up, wouldn't it become a huge industry?"
"Royal jelly is much more expensive and has many more uses than honey. Although it is said to be difficult to preserve... even a local bully in our county can come up with a way to preserve royal jelly. Don't those foreigners want to do the same?"
"Think about it yourself. Ever since you started taking royal jelly, hasn't your body become much better than before? Anyway, when I look at you, I feel that you are getting younger and younger. My own body is the same. I feel that I am getting younger and younger."
"Didn't you hear what our Duo'er said? Ordinary bees usually eat royal jelly and only live for a few months at most. But queen bees eat royal jelly and can live for several years."
“Ordinary people like you and me, even when we didn’t have to worry about food and drink now, still hoped to live to be a hundred years old, let alone when we didn’t have to worry about food and clothing. Don’t those rich people and foreigners also want to live longer?”
Yun Dazheng thought about it more and more and felt that this made sense, and couldn't help but say, "The bigger the business, the more shrewd people are, and the more far-sighted they are. It's as if they have an extra brain. Who knows what they're up to?"
Hearing this, Yun Qi nodded, but then interjected, "No matter what their intentions are, it's all in vain. The reason our family can raise bees well and produce so much royal jelly is not because of any technology, but because of Xiao Jiu."
"That's exactly right," Yun Dazheng replied with a hint of smugness. He shook his head before adding, "No matter what their intentions are, this time, they're going to be disappointed."
His tone and expression suggested he had won a great victory.
