Chapter 401
After collecting the beehive, on the way back, Shen Fei asked A Zhuang:
"You held the bees like that just now, and you didn't get stung at all?"
"It depends on the situation. If this group of bees had not been provoked before, it is possible that they would not be stung at all. But this nest today is obviously not unprovoked..."
A Zhuang shook his head helplessly and stretched out his hands to show Shen Fei.
There were not many stings, only 5 places were stung by bees, leaving five slightly red and swollen small spots on his hands.
Seeing this, Shen Fei laughed and said, "That's normal. I thought that if you held it like that just now, they wouldn't sting you."
Just now, seeing A Zhuang's skillful and bold operation, he thought that the bees would really treat him differently so seriously. It turned out to be a misunderstanding. The bees did not show mercy to A Zhuang.
"The main reason is that this group of bees have been provoked and are very irritable. If it is another beehive, you can really hold it with bare hands without being stung by bees."
A Zhuang is very confident in his skills in digging out beehives. He attributed all the stings to the fact that the bees had been provoked.
Shen Fei couldn't deny this. This nest of bees was indeed provoked by the monkeys, otherwise he wouldn't have been stung when he walked by carrying a sack.
The two of them, one carrying a sack for collecting bees and the other carrying a basin of honeycomb, returned to the jujube tree together.
During the time they went to collect bees, Shen Wentao and his team had already picked two sacks of about 200 kilograms of green dates at the jujube tree.
The efficiency of their picking was quite high, not slower than Shen Fei's four monkeys.
Before Shen Fei brought a few people here, he had already asked the monkeys to stay somewhere else for the time being, so as not to have trouble explaining when they met.
"Wow, you really dug out the beehive! So much honey!!"
Seeing them coming back with things, Datou jumped down from the tree and walked towards them excitedly.
When he came closer, Datou didn't show any courtesy at all, and directly reached out to pick up a piece of honeycomb in the basin and put it in his mouth.
After taking a bite, the fragrant honey flowed out and instantly filled his entire mouth. There was only one word, "sweet!"
"This pure wild honey is so sweet and delicious! It also has a floral scent, which is really good!"
The others around him were attracted by Datou's exaggerated expression of enjoyment.
Seeing everyone coming over, Shen Fei and A Zhuang did not hesitate to cut one of the honey into several small pieces with a knife, so that everyone could take one or two small pieces of honey to taste.
The taste of honey is really good. After trying it, everyone gave a thumbs up. It's really sweet! Delicious!
After eating the honey, everyone was more motivated. They gathered around the jujube tree and continued to pick green jujubes. It was quite pleasant to pick and eat while picking.
Time passed by minute by minute. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Fei stopped everyone.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work today."
"This island is a little far from the village. It's already three o'clock in the afternoon. Let's go back first and pick the rest next time."
At this moment, they have picked a lot of green dates.
Including the sack of green dates he asked the monkeys to pick before, they picked a total of 9 sacks of green dates today.
Among the 9 sacks, eight were full and one was half full.
Each full sack had about 120 kilograms of green dates, and the 9 sacks must have more than 1,000 kilograms.
After picking these 9 sacks, the green dates on the jujube trees still looked dense. It was estimated that if they picked six or seven more times like this, there should be no problem. The quantity is really quite large.
"There are so many green dates, Brother Fei, where are you going to sell them? In the town? Or in the county?"
Big Head was holding a big green date weighing three or four taels in his hand, and asked Shen Fei while eating it.
Hearing this, Shen Fei smiled and said, "Take it back first. After returning, send some to the store to sell, and then go to the town to see if there is anyone who wants to buy it. If there is, sell it to those who want to buy it. If not, think of another way."
With so many green dates, it is highly likely that they will not be sold out if they are sent to their own small store. They will have to find buyers again. It would be better if someone wants to buy it, which would be easier.
Hearing this, Lin Cuihong said:
"If you can't find a buyer, you can also set up a stall in the town market. Every afternoon when there are many people, go to the town market to sell for a while. Our green dates are so crisp, refreshing and sweet, they will definitely be hot-selling."
Hearing this, Shen Fei did not refute, "Let's take them back first."
"You can carry them if you can, and don't force yourself if you can't. We'll just make one more trip."
When he said don't force yourself, Shen Fei looked at Shen Wentao, fearing that his third son would show off.
One sack, one120-30 kg is not easy to carry. Shen Wentao is not yet an adult and his bones are not yet fully formed. He should not do heavy work.
Seeing his father looking at him, Shen Wentao smiled and picked up the half bag of green dates next to him and said:
"I am the youngest here, I will carry this half sack."
He carried half a sack easily, and walked in front without any pressure.
Seeing this, Shen Yong did not say much nonsense, and directly carried a sack and followed behind.
Datou and A Zhuang also carried a sack each.
There were four sacks on the scene, and Li Weixi also wanted to help. However, after trying a few times, he gave up and really couldn't carry it. It was too heavy.
Shen Su and Lin Cuihong also couldn't carry a 120-30 kg sack.
"We can carry it, don't force it." Shen Fei said to them, carried a sack to his shoulder, and then carried the sack of bees and walked towards the beach.
Later, Shen Fei and his team went back to carry the remaining green dates back to the fishing boat.
On the way back, Shen Fei, Datou and A Zhuang went to the small fishing boat, while Shen Wentao and his team drove the big fishing boat.
"There is only one person on the small fishing boat who can take care of me. What are you all doing here?" Shen Fei asked A Zhuang and Datou on the way back.
Datou smiled and said:
"Come and take care of each other, Brother Fei. With the two of us as a burden, there is less danger of capsizing."
"You are so bold to say that, talking about capsizing at sea." Shen Fei rolled his eyes.
This guy is really outspoken.
A Zhuang said: "Brother Fei, I see your second brother and second sister-in-law, they have been learning about these things on the fishing boat, asking about the operation of the fishing boat, and asking where we have recently set the net and where to put the trap. It seems that they have some ideas."
Some ideas?
Do you also want to go out to sea to fish?
Shen Fei shook his head and said:
"My second brother's savings over the years have been squandered by that woman. They don't have the money to do it if they really have an idea. I guess they are just curious. My second brother should understand these things."
Some time ago, Shen Yong did want to get a small fishing boat and go fishing, but when he wanted to buy a boat, he found that all his savings had been taken by Lin Cuihong for so-called investment.
Now that the money is gone, they can't even afford a small fishing boat, so how can they get a big fishing boat?
