Chapter 201 Planning
When Shen Dali said this, Lin Ting and Yang Xiuxiu didn't care. After all, bees are not easy to find.
After having lunch, they took a short rest and continued to pollinate the corn.
They worked on it for two and a half days, and on the morning of the third day, the three of them worked together for an hour and finished.
Lin Ting drove the carriage and said he would take them home, but Shen Dali said he had something else to do and walked up the mountain.
On the way home, there were only Yang Xiuxiu and Shen Wanyi.
After returning home, Lin Ting went to boil water to take a bath and wash her hair. She also washed Shen Wanyi as well.
Finally, Yang Xiuxiu went to wash. While there was still fire in the kitchen, Lin Ting also made breakfast.
Shen Dali planted soybeans on the farm, and now they were just ripe. Yang Xiuxiu peeled the soybeans in the carriage.
Lin Ting minced some pork and fried it with ginger and garlic. It would taste better if some chili peppers were added.
But she wants to keep the peppers at home for seeds.
The kitchen is very big now, and there are five pots on the stove alone, so Lin Ting can cook very quickly.
Steam the egg custard in one pot and stir-fry the vegetables in the other.
Yang Xiuxiu tidied herself up and saw that Lin Ting had almost finished cooking.
There were only three of them at home eating at noon, and Shen Dali didn't know when he would come back.
"Lin Ting, the corn pollination is done. Will you stay home this afternoon or go to the county?"
Lin Ting usually goes to the county during the day because her business is there, so Yang Xiuxiu asked her.
"Today at home, I plan to make some new things to sell and expand our family business."
Yang Xiuxiu nodded: "Then I will take Xiaobao to visit later and won't disturb you at home."
"it is good!"
In the afternoon, Lin Ting sat in the study. On the table in front of her were many books, which were business manuals she had bought.
Furong Pavilion is currently considered to have collapsed. Once this big store collapses, countless new Furong Pavilions will stand up in an instant.
If she wants to make a living, the food she makes must not only be good, but also make a splash as quickly as possible.
After reading so many books, she still couldn't think of a good solution.
She stood in front of the window thinking, then flipped through the book, and combined her advanced ideas, she finally came up with a suitable method.
She wanted these beauties to stand on Yujisan's shoulders and pick apples. This was the fastest and most effective way to gain recognition.
In the evening, Shen Dali finally returned home. Lin Ting saw that he was holding a nest of bees in his hand, which was bigger than the basin they used to wash vegetables.
When Lin Ting saw what he had in his hand, his eyes lit up instantly.
"Xiaobao, Xiaobao, come out and see what grandpa brought back for you? Hehe..."
As soon as he entered the yard, before he saw anyone, Shen Dali began to excitedly call Shen Wanyi out, wanting to give all the good things he had got to his granddaughter immediately.
"Xiaobao, Xiaobao..."
Lin Ting came out of the study, his eyes fixed on the beehive in Shen Dali's hand.
"Xiaobao and Grandma are out visiting and haven't come back yet. Where did you get this swarm of bees, Grandpa? Are you okay?"
Shen Dali was not stung, but his clothes were covered in mud. I don’t know how he managed to get the beehive down.
"I'm fine. I was lucky. I tied a red string to a bee and chased it all the way. I didn't expect that I could actually find the beehive.
It grows in rock caves, and burning the grass will smoke out the bees, making it a little difficult to dig.
But there’s still plenty of honey in here, enough for our family to eat for a long time.”
You really have to be lucky to find it. Otherwise, if you want to eat honey, you can only buy it from the beekeeper.
"Xiaobao and Grandma will be back soon. Let me take care of this beehive. I just need it."
Shen Dali gave the things to Lin Ting, and then he went to take a shower and change into clean clothes.
Lin Ting cleaned the beehive, found a few containers, and placed the honeycombs on the containers.
After the honey had finished flowing, she collected it with a cloth and squeezed the bees to make it cleaner.
She crushed all the remaining honeycombs. At this moment, Yang Xiuxiu and Shen Wanyi had returned from visiting friends.
Lin Ting asked Yang Xiuxiu to light a fire, and she put the honeycomb she had made in the pot to steam.
"Lin Ting, you don't want to steam those honeycombs and eat them, do you?"
Yang Xiuxiu saw her preparing the beehives like cooking, but these things cannot be eaten.
Lin Ting looked at the fire, his eyes never leaving the steamer.
"I'm making beeswax. This hive of bees my father-in-law got should be enough to make a lot."
Yang Xiuxiu had never heard of beeswax. Lin Ting always had a lot of strange things in her mind, and she didn't know where she knew so much.
"I know about candles. Do you want to use this beehive to make candles?"
In Yang Xiuxiu's opinion, this is the only way to use wax.
But when she saw Lin Ting shaking his head, she knew she was wrong.
"No, I'm making this beeswax to make rouge and lip balm. When I'm done, you can try it, mother-in-law."
Yang Xiuxiu smiled, and when she smiled, her chin was exactly the same as Shen Qingzhou's.
"Just make it and use it for yourself. I'm already old, and if I need those, the villagers will laugh at me."
Yang Xiuxiu is not old, she is only in her forties, but she has been doing farm work and her skin is dark, which makes her look a little older.
"Mother-in-law, we dress ourselves up to make ourselves happy. We don't care what others do. We should never compromise ourselves just to make others happy. Others can't give us anything."
Yang Xiuxiu had never thought about it from this perspective. The villagers often gathered together and gossiped.
They can only talk but can't solve anything for others, so Lin Tingting is right, the most important thing is to be happy.
"Okay, I'll try it when you make it."
After steaming for an hour, Lin Ting thought it was almost done, so she opened the steamer and squeezed the water out of the steamed honeycomb with a cloth again and put it into the basin.
The water in the steamer was also scooped into basins. It took two basins to fill them. Finally, she took the two basins to the yard to cool.
Autumn is coming soon and the nights are starting to get cooler.
When she got up the next day, she saw that a thick layer of beeswax had solidified on the water in the two basins.
Take the two pieces of beeswax out of the water and place them in a well-ventilated area to dry.
After tidying himself up, he drove towards the county in a carriage.
First, buy some dried flowers that can be used to make lipstick, and then find some small porcelain bottles. In the place where porcelain is fired, there are many porcelain bottles that can be used to hold rouge, both small and large.
But Lin Ting was making it for others this time, so he had to make it authentic and whet people's appetite before setting a price.
What she wants to sell is luxury goods, and the price must be higher than that of Furong Pavilion, and her target audience is wealthy ladies and ladies.
After finishing all the shopping, Lin Ting went to the Tea House again. She brought all the plans she had come up with at home that day.
I discussed it with Lin Lin today and have done all the preliminary work.
