In the early years, Xiao Yun watched a documentary about beekeepers chasing the flowering period. A couple driving a truck with a car of bees chasing flowering period all over the country. It was very hard and very lifelike.
Later, when I watched the video of the northeast master Pankang on Douyin, I accidentally saw the operation of beekeeping by the northeast farmers. The farmers who broadcasted the live broadcast did not use the rectangular wooden boxes before, but built a concrete beehive. Use it-later he learned that cement beehives are actually a common operation, one is durable, and the other is cold-proof.
Raising bees on the grassland specifies that it is impossible to chase the flowering period everywhere, and there is no need to carry beehives around. In addition, the cold temperate climate is really cold in winter. Concrete beehives must be colder than wooden ones; another, wooden beehives want to be used. It will take a long time to test the workmanship, Xiao Yun consciously does not have that skill...
One night, Xiao Yun takes Balke to the depths of the alfalfa field, and prepares in advance except for woodworking utensils, wood, cement and bricks.
"We used cement and bricks to make the outer wall of the honeycomb, and we made it into a rectangle, which was about this big." Xiao Yun stood at the position he chose and gestured with his hands "Place the nest frame in the middle, so that the nest frames are arranged vertically. Leave a bee path in between... The base of the nest frame is something that imitates the structure of a honeycomb and allows bees to live in. I will not do it. Let's try to provide empty wooden boards, or try to weave similar small pieces with rattan and grass, and then wait for the bees come in"
"If you put the wooden board vertically and make a honeycomb structure on the wooden board, the bees will live in it?" Balker was excited.
"...If the bees feel that the house we provide them is comfortable." Xiao Yun nodded, "How can the nests of bees in the wild not be as strong and warm as the beehives on the outer concrete wall?"
Balker thought it was not right. His castle was built by summoning low-level demons to dig up the mountains and dig stones. It looked pretty good. It was nowhere near as comfortable as the cement brick houses of the snow werewolf clan. He didn't want to go back to live in the cold castle now. Immediately geared up... Carrying hydrated cement, I didn't dislike this work, it was dirty and dirty, and I was very active.
Xiao Yun is not surprised by this, because in this world, sugar is considered a luxury!
Or in a world where productivity is lagging behind, sugar is not cheap...In modern history on earth, the blacks who were captured in the slave trade don't know how many were buried in sugarcane plantations in foreign countries. The capitalists frantically looted black slaves because the profits of sugarcane planting at that time were no less than the huge profits of illegal drugs.
Sweetness is the most popular taste. Let alone human beings, ants all know to chase sugar. It can be seen that the demand for sugar in organisms is irrespective of race or species. Only modern people who are tired of all kinds of sweets are qualified to pretend to say that they don't like sweets and replace them with places where productivity is lagging behind. HaHa, ordinary people can experience sweetness once a year even if they have a good standard of living.
The green dragon Balker who owns a forest territory, the last time he ate serious sweets was when he was trading with the forest elves... It's not that this guy can't afford sugar, but that this guy doesn't have the concept of fair trade with people. "I want it all" with my eyes, and I can't get in. It's not bad for this kind of villain to come to the forest elves to entertain him. Give me sugar back? Are the forest elves look silly while sweet?
Therefore, Balker also greets honey...
Made six cement beehives lined up in two nights, put the wooden nest frame in it, and covered the upper part with a protruding wooden board, leaving a space for the bees to travel. The gap, the next step is to wait patiently for the bees that flew to the alfalfa field to pick flowers to live in... In order to speed up the process, Xiao Yun patiently shakes some pollen with a clean cloth and sprinkles into the beehive, hoping to make honey early. The little guy brought in.
During this process, Balker was impatient and unwilling to let others see that he was impatient. The twisted look made Xiao Yun a little bit anxious for him... Fortunately, the hard work paid off. The first blooming period of the alfalfa field was about after ten days, five groups of bees happily moved into their new homes.
Balker was too happy, and didn't want to let others see that he was happy. He followed the soldiers in and out with a sullen face all day; the big-hearted Snow Werewolf was not taken seriously, the gray dwarves and goblins were afraid of this guy, old Seeing this guy far away, hide as far as he can hide immediately.
"He kept my promise and didn't expose the secret of raising bees." Xiao Yun touched his chin with satisfaction. This is a rare shining point in the green dragon. Although he has a bad personality and a big temper, he still can't beat him up ( This is Xiao Yun's most annoying), but it is a good thing to have a sense of trustworthiness, which shows that this guy can at least be responsible for his words and deeds, not a bear. "Master Xing said, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat dried shrimps, dried shrimps... can fight dragons." Turning his gaze to the goblins who were hiding in the corner for dinner, Xiao Yun's eyes flashed brightly...
Balker looked at the two shivering little guys in front of him with no expression, turned his head and asked Hongye dissatisfiedly: "Ayun really told me to look at them?"
Two adult goblins, Baron and Gal almost fell down...
Hong Ye secretly scolded Xiao Yun who asked her to spread the word, but he remembered Xiao Yun's words quite firmly, and said with a smile: "Ayun said, the soldiers all go out in rotation. Only you go every day. You have been working hard during this time. Now, let you change to a lighter job and take a break..."
Balker felt very comfortable when he heard this: "It doesn't matter to me that I don't need a rest."
Don't forget what you said when you get busy when you look back! Hongye was complain in her mind and smiled on the surface: "Of course we know that you are different from us, but we all live together. There is no reason to ask whoever is particularly capable to pay all the time. If this is the case, wouldn't other people feel sorry for it? You take it as it is. Don't let us be too embarrassed, and occasionally do some light work."
Balker's mouth turned up uncontrollably, pretending to be generous: "Okay, just be optimistic about these two gadgets, right?"
"Baron and Gal are going to the forest to collect wild garlic for the tribe. You know, bean curd and stir-fried vegetables taste a lot worse without wild garlic. Originally, we should accompany them to this job, but the first batch of alfalfa is about to start. I'm ready to harvest, so I have to trouble you." Hongye's tongue is almost knotted... Ayun asked her to say simple meanings in such complicated words, which is very worrying!
"Give it to me!" Balker waved his hand, raised his head and walked out... after a few steps, he stopped and looked back, throwing a disgusting look at the two trembling goblins, "Hurry up and keep up !"
Baron and Gal looked at Hongye in fear... As a result, Hongye only urged them to hurry up with their eyes. They couldn't hold them back. The two goblins could only face the cruel life with tears in their eyes.
"Go, hurry back, pay attention to safety!" Hong Ye waved.
"Don't worry!" Barker said loudly.
Hongye watched the trio leave the tribe, who had been violating the way, turned their heads and spread their legs, and went to find Xiao Yun.
"A Yun, are you so relieved to let Balker go to accompany Baron and Gal?" When Xiao Yun was actually holding the clay in a relaxed manner, Hong Ye felt angry.
"If he agrees or not, then naturally there is nothing to say. If he wants to agree, you can rest assured." Xiao Yun slowly turned the pottery bowl.
"...What are you thinking about?" Hongye had learned her fineness a long time ago, and it was not so easy for Xiao Yun to fool around.
Xiao Yun carefully removed the squeezed pottery bowl, set it aside to dry, wiped his hands and stood up: "Didn't you tell me about that guy's inferiority. Don't even look at Balker and he hasn't enjoyed much happiness, this guy. I really don't know what the human suffering is. As a dragon, the worst and most embarrassment is that the jewelry and beloved things are robbed by the old man. It is difficult to survive? It does not exist. The dragon is not easy to die anyway, and he lacks awe in his life. So, let him see how the weakest goblin on this prairie struggles to survive, don't ask him to have empathy for the goblin, at least let him know the weight of the word survival. "
"Uh..." It was another argument that didn't understand but seemed very reasonable, making Hongye speechless for a while.
"We ourselves have suffered and lived through hardships, so we can understand that races who are weaker than us will not despise others because they are weak and think that their lives are worthless." Xiao Yun said seriously, "We snow werewolves hold this idea, but it doesn't mean that others will be like us. Hongye, think about it, how did we first meet Balker? That guy took the gray dwarf indifferently and went back as a slave. You think he will go. Do you respect lives who are weaker than him? To correct this guy's wrong worldview, of course, he must understand that little life also has the dignity and way of living."
"Actually, I don't care what happens to that guy. I'm just worried about Baron and Baron. Just Gal." Hongye said frankly, compared to the goblin, the green dragon was not at all pleasing, it was Ayun who kept coaxing him for the peace of the tribe, others didn't know that she didn't know. "Haha...Don't worry, all the gold and silver jewelry are in my place." Xiao Yun smiled, "What happened to Baron and Gal? All his wealth is gone."
Hongye: "...(o言o) "
Baron & Gal:"Ahhhhh!!!
Baron & Gal immediately covered the opponent's mouth, closed his eyes, and endured the fear of being caught in the air by the dragon's claws.
It takes a few hours to complete the flight in ten minutes. This is the case when Barker deliberately slowed down and lowered the flying altitude.
Released his left paw and threw the scared goblins to the ground, Balker took out his robe and put on them, looking at them blankly.
Baron & Gal: "...?"
"Don't you want to collect wild garlic?" Balker was dissatisfied.
The two goblins jumped up quickly... their noses twitched around. Barke loves tofu, cold elm money and bean sprouts (the bean sprouts after removing the bean sprouts and blanching), and naturally likes the taste of wild garlic. When the two goblins gathered, the uncle slowly followed behind with his hands on his chest. I want to see what such delicious wild garlic is like.
Baron and Gal have soft feet, which does not hinder their work. After touching the periphery of the forest with sparse trees for a while, they found the target. "...Huh?" Bark felt a little strange when he saw the two goblins go down and pick up the grass. When Baron had the bulbs small and round, the stems and leaves were as thin as grass blades, the wild garlic was shaved out of the wild grass, and the roots were carefully removed. A piece of mud, I was surprised to find that this thing that looked indistinguishable from weeds was actually his favorite wild garlic? !
The wild garlic grows in many patches, and I found one place, and I must look around carefully; the two goblins directly knelt on the ground, chopped on the left and planed on the right, and they dug up a handful of wild garlic. The handfuls of wild garlic were folded in half, the leaves wrapped around the stem, and put into a small bag made of bark. The two goblins shrank and looked at the green dragon who was standing next to the supervisor like the uncle. They brewed for a while before they mustered up their courage: "The surrounding area... is finished, let's go and look elsewhere?"
"Lead the way." This time Barker didn't go ahead. Although it was small, he was a bit hard to count... He could not recognize wild garlic that looked like a grass. In this way, he picked two more wild garlic growing areas, and when they continued to collect them, Baron found something good.
"Ba~ Balker, shall we go pick some mushrooms?" Baron is considered the bolder in the goblin, he squatted, "Then, there are mushrooms over there..." "What did you do?" Balker frowned.
"That is, it is put in the soup when it is cooked, which can make the soup taste more delicious..." Baron nervously.
Balker thought about it, Hongye didn't say that he could only collect wild garlic, so he waved his hand generously.
After collecting shiitake mushrooms, they found a small piece of matsutake that is growing well. Xiao Yun didn't know the goblin, but he knew it. He happily received it in the bag; there were also some that grew on the ground and even grew in the soil. The edible mushrooms were also searched for by goblins who were able to gather them first.
The bags between the two people's waists were quickly filled, unwrapped from the belts, sealed and tied, back to back, and then unfolded the solid bark fiber woven bag, and hung it on the belt.
When collecting wild garlic again, the ground suddenly trembled slightly.
"Huh?" Balker frowned and looked deep into the forest. The branches and leaves blocked his vision, only to feel a bearish breath in that direction. Bear Meat Balker doesn't like to eat, it's woody and hard, he loses interest at a glance, and looks away.
... Then he saw the two goblins stop gathering, dig out a piece of land, take out the soil inside, and then scrambled to squeeze into the hole.
Balker: "...?"
The two goblins who got into the hole and were about to drag the turf to cover themselves, suddenly froze a while. (Ha ha ha ha!)
Balker reacted to what these two little creatures were doing, and blue veins appeared on his forehead: "Me, Balker is standing here, but you are afraid of a bear?"
Baron and Gal...just as if pressing the accelerator key. Jumped out of the hole, quickly filled back the soil that was just dug, covered the land, swished back to the place and burrowed in the wild garlic, as if nothing happened just now.
"..." Balker suddenly had a kind of entanglement. If you want to be serious, you will drop the price.
Thinking that the little goblin wasn't enough for him to slap his face, a louder voice seemed to be a pitiful person who was about to be scared to death, and Balk's teeth tickled the little bit of annoyance down.
"Seeing a ghost, I actually want to let this kind of thing." After recollecting his "submission", Balker's face didn't look good.
Collecting is a tedious and time-consuming task, and Barker has no sense of going forward to help. All the way, he only knows that his hands are hanging around his chest. The wild garlic collected this day is naturally not as heavy as the usual snow werewolves when they come with goblins. But after returning to the tribe, Bark had just landed and transformed into a human form before he even wore clothes. Xiao Yun greeted him and praised Bark's bear face. What really helped us a lot, as expected. Don't send it out for money if it's reliable or the like.
The goblin specified that he had no guts to sue that Balker was only an overseer and did not work hard, so he was photographed comfortably. He really thought he was doing a good job of "caring for the goblin", so he should come down and continue to "help a lot" without knowing it.
The next day, the big paw caught the two goblins and Balker flew to the edge of the forest, always feeling that something was wrong... but he really didn't understand what was wrong.
After a boring day again, the inexplicable Balker grabbed the little goblins and returned to the tribe. This time he met the old patriarch of the snow werewolf clan, Caogen...
The performance of Caogen patriarch is much smoother than that of Hongye, and it seems when the three tribesmen just came back from the greenhouse, they "coincidentally" saw Caogen where Balker had landed as a transport plane. They stared at Balker in a particularly natural astonishment. Then they turned their heads and said to their own people: "No wonder Hongye and the others I went to harvest alfalfa with peace of mind. It turns out that Barker helped them a lot!"
They don't know what Caogen is talking about, and the three clansmen with a bewildered look: "?"
Balker, what he was doing, subconsciously lifted his chest...
On the third day, I still vaguely felt that there was something wrong with Bark. When he flew to the forest, he was basically in a good mood... Indeed, he was old and bored. This kind of boring work to accompany the little goblin for a whole day, but the dragon clan has gone through more boring days, and it is not bad for such a few days.
"Today's flattery...Maomao, it's up to you."
In the tribe, Xiao Yun swept a circle of several tribesmen who could come in handy in the great cause of training the green dragon, and named Yu.
Languo breathed a sigh of relief, Yu immediately showed a very reluctant expression.
"It's a bit of team spirit. Hongye and Caogen have worked hard. How can you lose the chain?" Xiao Yun followed the temptation. "You don't need to memorize a lot of words like Hongye. Just learn the method of Caogen patriarch yesterday. Just say something that Bark can hear. If you are really upset in your heart, then think about it: The preferential treatment and special care given to this guy now are all for the next ten years. Let him do the work a hundredfold. That guy can only laugh now, and when he will cry in the future... Thinking about it this way, is it more comfortable in your heart?"
Yu, blue fruit, grass roots, red leaves: "..."
"Okay, everyone is busy, Maomao, come and I will tell you what to do..."
Yu...How can Yu say? Goes and does it. !
On the fourth day, when Green Dragon Bark was "going to work", he took the initiative to find two goblins...
If you want to say which race in this world can do boring things most enthusiastically, the name must be the dragon who didn't run-life spans long, life can be guaranteed without automatic to find their death, and energetic, what else can you do without doing boring things?
Therefore, the dragons sleep casually for a winter, and if they get a certain toy, just stare at the toy and laugh happily for ten days... So let Balker work as a "supervisor" for the two little goblins for a few days. It's really not a big deal, as long as you're willing to do it...
Shook his hips and followed the collected goblins for three days, and Balker was really a little panicked. On the fourth day, he decided to be in the process of "helping a lot." Find something to do: stare at the two little goblins who are busy gathering, and use their labor process to pass the time.
Someone on the earth said this when they accused their direct blood relatives. The greatest cruelty is ignorance. There is a certain reason. If the person who is living in front of you just falls into the eye, it must be more hurtful than deliberate targeting.
Previously, Balker's view of goblins was like this. Even if he forced his father to have a home and ran to send people under the fence, he did not pay attention to the minority and absolutely weak goblins in the Snow Wolf tribe. In other words, he didn't think that goblin was also a kind of intelligent creature. If the goblin hadn't come earlier than him and had already integrated into the life of the snow werewolf tribe, Balker had established his first impression as soon as he arrived. He was likely to be dissatisfied with the snow wolf man providing the goblin with food of the same quality as him.
Balker, who was finally willing to give a little attention to the goblins (still based on the premise that there is nothing else to do), found that the goblin was such an ugly and weak thing that he couldn't even look down on slaves, and it was not completely useless— —The two of them collected a lot of wild garlic, in addition to finding some good-tasting game, it was not completely useless in his impression.
Balker, who has undergone a slight change in his mentality, returned to the tribe that day, and it was Qingyan and Qiu of the Cat Clan who were responsible for affirming his "paying". The two stood chatting at the door of the large kitchen and saw the goblin. The wild garlic and game ingredients that I brought back looked very happy, and said to the two goblins and Balker: "Thank you, you can put enough wild garlic in everything you eat these days. It's all your credit."
Balker, he keeps his chest tall habitually, and there is something inexplicable in his heart... Maybe he should also try to collect wild garlic tomorrow?
Balker was struggling with the same job as a goblin and was a little lost. Xiao Yun came up and said with a smile: "You have been really hard for the past few days. I don't have to go to collect it tomorrow."
Balker was relieved.
Xiao Yun said again: "During this time we have to quickly collect the alfalfa in batches. It is really too busy...Balker, tomorrow the goblins are going to collect limestone, can you please take care of them?"
"Okye." Balker did not hesitate.
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "I know you are very reliable, so I will trouble you. The safety of the nine goblins of our tribe is left to you. To tell you the truth, this batch of limestone is very important. In a month or so, the rain will be intensive. We need to reinforce the river embankment. We need to use a lot of cement..." After a pause, and looking around no one around, Xiao Yun said in a low voice, "That's what we do. The cement used in the beehive was burnt out of limestone, and the house we lived in was also built with this. It is totally inseparable from it."
"Oh..." Balker understood, he was a little proud of it, it turned out to be so. No wonder he begged for important things!
The next day, Balker, with his chest upright, followed a group of goblins to the low mountain quarry in the southeast of the tribe and went out of the dry land. Halfway through, he remembered something, thought about it, and suddenly found out—wait, for
For the snow werewolf tribe, the cement that is so important is actually made from the splendor of the earth?
Arriving at the quarry, a small sloped low mountain bag was dug out and Balker was stunned for a while...For the dragons, it's not difficult for the dragons to use magic to flatten such a mountain bag, but...weak and small like a reptile, the goblin can actually dig out such a gap in the mountain?
With his dazed skill, the conscious goblins have already stepped forward to start work. This mountain bag bulged due to changes in the earth's crust is full of limestone under the surface of the excavated rock. The height is about 30 to 40 meters, which is not too high, but it is also a very dangerous height for goblins, so they excavated from above. Dig down and stepped down; nine goblins, old and small, climbed to the top, and their tiny figures walked on the white and slightly steep mountain wall, like ants climbing on the tree unremarkably.
Balker suddenly felt that something was touched in his heart, but he got serious to think about where he was touched, but he really couldn't feel it.
