In the Gu family hall, Qi Fengyuan sat at the main seat, Gu Sitian sat with him, and Gu Quan and other important members sat down at the bottom.

As requested by Qi Fengyuan, Gu Quan went out to introduce the situation of the apiary to him in detail:

The entire Gujia apiary consists of two fruit trees and three flower fields.

The peach and pear trees planted in the two fruit forests cover about 200 acres each. The peaches and sweet pears produced every year are an important source of income for the Gu family.

The three flower fields are basically wild. The large one covers over a thousand acres, and the small one covers more than 200 acres. There are various flowers and plants growing in them, making them a natural source of honey.

In addition, the Gu family now has thirty-nine direct members, employs nearly a hundred servants, and there are about 500 nearby villagers who rely on apiaries for a living.

After listening to the report, Qi Fengyuan had a rough outline in his mind, and quickly sketched out a blueprint, asking everyone in the Gu family:

"The entire Liuxi Town covers an area of ​​300 square kilometers. How much time and manpower will be needed to turn the entire area into fruit trees and flower fields for raising bees and making honey?"

This question stumped Gu Quan, and no one in the entire Gu family could answer it, because they had never thought of such a huge plan.

They had never thought about it before, but when the immortal master Qi Fengyuan asked, they started to think about it on the spot.

The Gu family members in the hall gathered together, talking to each other and discussing for a long time before Gu Quan came to summarize the report:

"If all the labor force in the town, farm tools, seeds, and fertilizers are sufficient, it should be possible to transform most of the forest land in the town into qualified apiaries in three years."

"Three years... is a bit long..."

Qi Fengyuan pondered for a moment, glanced at everyone in the field, and quickly made a decision:

"In terms of materials and manpower, I will find a way. Starting today, the entire Gu family will work out a mountain forest transformation plan as soon as possible and make every effort to expand the apiary. I will transform Liuxi Town into a beekeeping town within a year."

No one understood why Qi Fengyuan attached so much importance to beekeeping, and no one dared to ask in detail.

In order to enhance their confidence, Qi Fengyuan spent 500 taels of gold on the spot as a preliminary investment in the transformation plan. Now the Gu family had no scruples and expressed their firm support for the top leader's decision.

Because of the serious injury, Qi Fengyuan's savings were basically spent. Of course, this refers to spiritual stones and resources for cultivation.

Immortal cultivators rarely care about gold and silver, because these materials are too easy for them to obtain. It is useless no matter how much they save, and they cannot exchange for any cultivation materials.

Qi Fengyuan is different. As a person who came from modern society, he has a deep-rooted greed for gold and silver.

During the ten years he has been a son-in-law of the Xiao family, he has always had a small hobby of saving money. Up to now, he still has a fortune of tens of thousands of taels of gold, not to mention a mountain of gold and silver.

Unexpectedly, what was a small hobby at the beginning has now played a big role.

With the kind invitation, Qi Fengyuan accepted the luncheon arranged by the Gu family.

For a long time to come, he will have to use the Gu family's beekeeping technology to carry out the overall transformation of Liuxi Town and achieve mass production of honey.

During the dinner, Qi Fengyuan clinked glasses with everyone in the Gu family frequently, showing a very friendly attitude.

The fact that a condescending immortal master was like this made the Gu family feel very good. They responded enthusiastically, and the atmosphere became more and more intense.

Gu Sitian stayed with Qi Fengyuan throughout the whole process, played the role of the hostess very well, and also enjoyed this new identity.

Although she is the eldest lady of the Gu family and holds the title of the most beautiful woman in Liuxi Town, in fact, her status in the Gu family is not very high.

The current speaker of the Gu family, Gu Quan, is not her father, but her uncle. Her parents passed away due to illness when she was very young.

Gu Quan had no children, so he adopted Gu Sitian as his adoptive father, so she became known as the eldest lady of the Gu family.

Affected by the early death of her parents, Gu Sitian has dreamed of being a fairy since she was a child. She longs to become stronger and live longer. She doesn’t like red clothes but prefers weapons, and she has no interest in the family’s beekeeping skills.

Therefore, her relationship with the Gu family is not that good. If she hadn't met Qi Fengyuan, she would have been given away as a bargaining chip in marriage within a few years.

Now, she flies up the branches, and the tribesmen's attitude toward her has changed overnight, and they are lining up to fawn over her.

Although Qi Fengyuan didn't say anything, Gu Sitian was thoughtful and knew that beekeeping was very important to him.

Her vision is different now. She doesn't care about how some Gu family members were mean to her in the past. Instead, she is generous and tries to guide Qi Fengyuan into taking control of the entire Gu family as soon as possible.

The banquet ended in a harmonious atmosphere. After Qi Fengyuan explained the matters again, he left with Gu Sitian, successfully completing the trip back to his parents' home.

After coming out of Gu's house, Qi Feng did not go back home. He took Gu Sitian around nearby villages to buy honey from farmers.

To his disappointment, there was honey, but the quantity was small and scattered. It took him a long time to collect it before a honey crystal was formed.

In the next few days, Qi Fengyuan and Gu Sitian traveled throughout Liuxi Town to collect all the honey they could, but the result was still not much.

First of all, it is not the flowering season, the bee colonies are in the recuperation stage, and the amount of honey produced is not much.

Second, beekeeping is very dependent on the environment. Without sufficient flower sources, the bee colonies will have no flowers to collect, and naturally they will not be able to produce honey, so not just any piece of forest land is suitable for beekeeping.

After transferring his own territory, Qi Fengyuan went to nearby villages and towns to continue purchasing.

The result is still not ideal. There are very few people like the Gu family who specialize in beekeeping. Even if there are, the scale is not large.

In addition, Qi Fengyuan did not dare to make a big deal about the acquisition. After all, it was other people's exclusive territory. He did not say hello in advance, so he would not be able to tell if he was discovered.

There are many primitive jungles and wilderness areas in Lujiao Mountain City. Since there are not many domesticated bees, Qi Fengyuan decided to focus on wild bees.

The result still disappointed him.

Relying on the bee energy secret skills shared by Xiaomi, Qi Fengyuan controlled the small bees and quickly found many wild bee colonies.

There is honey, but Qi Fengyuan dare not take it.

If you over-extract honey, once the weather changes, the bees cannot go out to collect honey, and there is not much food in the nest, it will be difficult for them to survive.

Through Xiaomi's relationship, Qi Fengyuan can now be regarded as the supreme leader of hundreds of millions of bees, and he must not let them bear the risk of destruction for his own selfish interests.

In desperation, Qi Fengyuan had no choice but to continue wandering around. While purchasing honey, he was also inspecting the forest land, looking for suitable flower and tree seeds, and land reclamation agricultural tools to prepare for the subsequent transformation plan.

Although Gu Sitian has no interest in beekeeping, she comes from a beekeeping family and has provided Qi Fengyuan with a lot of professional help.

This honey harvesting trip lasted for more than half a month, and Qi Fengyuan harvested a total of ten honey crystals.

According to the agreement between him and Xiaomi, all harvests would be split 50-50, but he finally got only 5 yuan.
Chapter completed!
