Chapter 297: Willow Catkins; Honey Source Base

The spring breeze from Yumen Pass turns the willow trees green year after year.

That evening, Guo Yang was jogging along the post road in Quanshui Lake Park. Many old men and women were sitting under the willow trees along the way to rest.

"Can a willow tree become a spirit?"

"But it's strange, there are so few catkins this year."

"Could it be the particularity of the infusion and injection?"

"It's okay, it's a good thing after all. Now I can go back and tell my daughter about it. She hasn't dared to go out during this period."

"Are you allergic to catkins?"

"Yes, every spring, I keep sneezing, my face gets pimples, my eyes get red and itchy, my throat gets sore, my nose runs, and my whole condition is like I have a bad cold..."

Guo Yang was jogging while listening to the old men and women chatting.

There are willow trees along the way that were planted after the 5s and 6s. They are now in their prime. If they are not sterilized with intravenous injections, the flying catkins period will last from early May to June every year.

It's really annoying.

There are also several willow trees with a history of hundreds of years in the park. Guo Yang stopped under an ancient willow tree to rest.

The lifespan of a willow tree is generally between 50 and 100 years, and can reach hundreds of years in a suitable environment.

However, the Northwest region is dry, rainless, and windy, and willow trees will become hollow and rot within a few decades.

The ancient willow tree in front of us is nearly 120 years old, which is close to the life limit of willow trees in the Northwest region. It is so old that it is really rare.

But the rich spiritual connotation it carries is passed down from generation to generation.

Zuo Gong Liu!

When talking about the roadside trees in the northwest, Zuo Zongtang is a name that can never be avoided.

The most common phrases in ancient people's poems about the Northwest are "lonely smoke in the desert", "boundless flat sand", "white bones in the wild", "no spring breeze", etc.

Looking at the history of world wars, every brutal war has also caused great ecological damage.

However, Zuo Zongtang and his Hunan Army rewrote the history of Northwest China.

This tree-planting enthusiast who calls himself "Xiangshang Farmer" planted trees while fighting.

Over the past ten years, nearly two million trees have been planted, with about five hundred thousand to six hundred thousand trees planted in Gansu province alone.

Elms, willows, poplars...

"The Prime Minister is unwilling to return to the border, and his disciples from Hunan and Xiang fill the Tianshan Mountains. New willows have been planted for three thousand miles, attracting the spring breeze to pass through the Jade Pass."

It starts from Tongguan in the east, crosses the Hexi Corridor, reaches Hami, and then extends from Hami to southern and northern Xinjiang, with a total length of more than 4000 miles.

Thousands of miles of roads, millions of Zuogong willows, mulberry trees on the roadside, the Shazhong Lake, and the Jiangnan scenery add a touch of new green to the gray and yellow sky in the northwest.

Zuo Zongtang's administration of the northwest gave people the feeling that he was building the frontier as his own home.

In 1934, there was a severe drought. The people had no choice but to eat willow bark to fill their stomachs. When Zhang Henshui was traveling in the northwest, he saw that all the Zuogong willows along the way had been cut down and the bark had been peeled off to fill their stomachs. He wrote:

"We should thank Zuo Zongtang for the severe drought. He planted two rows of weeping willows. We peeled off the bark and boiled it with grass, which can be used as food or soup."

There is also such a record in "The Northwest Corner of China": "On the alluvial plains on the east and west banks of the Zhuanglang River, willow trees are visible from each other, and the canals are connected... There are still willow trees planted by Zuo Zongtang when he was conquering Xinjiang on the roadside. They are ancient and vigorous, making people admire Zuo's great talent and strategy."

Today, there are only a few hundred Zuo Gong Willows left in the world, but the "green for a thousand miles" scenery of the northwest is even more magnificent, attracting spring breezes to often pass through Yumen Pass.

It’s just that every spring when the trees enter their reproductive maturity period, poplar and willow trees will produce flying catkins all over the sky.

Not only does it easily induce rhinitis and damage the environment, it also affects respiratory health, making people avoid it and complain about it.

After running around the park, Guo Yang started running towards home.

This trip was about six or seven kilometers long. I ran until I was sweating profusely, and there was basically no disturbance of flying catkins along the way.

The plant growth regulator of Quanwang Biological is very effective.

Moreover, in order to popularize it in Lanzhou, Jiuquan and other places, Quanwang Biology made concessions on price.

Let the city’s landscaping departments afford the cost.

After all, a city has tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of willow trees. If they all receive injections and infusions every year, the cost would be very high.

After washing up, Guo Yang felt relaxed all over.

……

It is May, and spring is in the air. In many cities, when you walk on the streets, you can see willow catkins flying everywhere.

Beijing.

On her way home from get off work, Ms. Tao had the bus windows closed tightly, but soon she was still surrounded by flying willow catkins.

There was fog in front of the bus.

On the grass between the trees on the roadside, there are piles of snow-white willow catkins, like accumulated snow.

It's scary to look at.

Ms. Tao sat down at the station in fear, and could only put on a mask and walk home.

But even so, willow catkins seem to be able to pass through the gaps in the mask and accurately find the nostrils.

When she got home, Ms. Tao felt her rhinitis coming back and she felt uncomfortable all over.

I had to find the prepared medicine and take it.

"Why are there so many willow trees in Beijing?" Ms. Tao couldn't help but complain.

Her husband Ma Xiaowei said, "In the past, we planted a lot of poplar and willow trees to control the sandstorms. They are now in their prime."

"Poplars are the tallest tree species in Beijing, and willows are the broad-leaved trees with the longest green period in Beijing. They can be said to be the backbone tree species of Beijing's ecological green line."

"In fact, these willow trees have made indelible contributions to the improvement of the ecological environment and the enhancement of the urban landscape."

Ms. Tao rolled her eyes. Shouldn't you comfort me at this time? Why are you explaining to me?
MD! The more I think about it, the angrier I get!
Ms. Tao had no choice but to vent her feelings on the forum, and she found many people who resonated with her.

"Can we cut down trees like willows? I'm going crazy with allergic rhinitis."

"I almost died of rhinitis these past two days."

"I have never seen a more awesome poplar tree guy than those in the capital."

At this time, someone replied, "There was a large-scale felling of willow trees in the capital, and after the felling, it was discovered that the floating catkins were poplar fluff."

It's not just the capital. There are a lot of complaints about willow catkins on the Internet. Almost the entire northern region has been seriously affected.

Some netizens also posted various photos, which attracted all kinds of complaints.

Some netizens even called the relevant departments to lodge complaints directly, and various media reports also came in.

In response to the public's request to cut down trees, the authorities also called for respecting and adapting to nature and being tolerant of willow catkins.

Willows have indeed made significant contributions to urban greening.

One media outlet wrote: “We cannot read Ode to the Poplars, enjoy the shade of the willows by the river in summer, and then think about cutting them down.”

Some existing governance measures were also introduced.

High-pressure water spraying, ground wetting, timely cleaning, renovation, thinning and tending, high-end grafting, vegetation blocking, shaping and pruning...

However, each prevention and control method has its own disadvantages and limitations, and all prevention and control require investment.

Faced with this explanation, the majority of netizens do not buy it.

All kinds of jokes on the Internet.

"The sprinkler truck has also disappeared in the past two days."

"Wait until it rains and then come out."

There used to be a large number of willow trees in the south, but in the 1980s and 1990s, they were gradually cut down and replaced with camphor, osmanthus and other species.

At this time, some eye-catching bags were also shown on the Internet.

"Little Peter Pan from the South, please move aside. I want Little Peter Pan from the North to have a look at our sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the South."

"Treasures in the north, weeds in the south."

"Friends in the south, is it snowing where you are? The kind that's as heavy as goose feathers!"

In this kind of online atmosphere, the harm caused by willow catkins in real life is increasing.

In addition to many people being sick, there were also a number of accidental fires.

On May 5, Master Zhao from Suzhou, Anhui Province, lit a fire in an attempt to burn the poplar fluff all over the ground. Unexpectedly, the dry poplar fluff exploded when it came into contact with the open flame, and Master Zhao was unfortunately burned.

On May 5, Yuan from Henan Province caused the fire to spread when he ignited poplar fluff. Eventually, the fire covered a large area and was very fierce, causing serious social impact.

On May 5, 7-year-old Zhu was playing in the park. Out of curiosity, he used a lighter to light the catkins on the ground in the park. The catkins were then blown by the wind and ignited the seedlings...

On May 5, a fire caused by burning willow catkins occurred in Shunyi District, Beijing, resulting in five cars being damaged to varying degrees.

The criticism from netizens, the guidance of public opinion from social media, the active publicity from firefighters...

No matter what people talk about it, the flying catkins that arrived as expected were once again pushed to the forefront because of everyone's focused attention.

But there are always some cities that do something special this spring.

The flying catkins period in Orchid City generally lasts from late April to mid-May.

However, it was almost halfway through May when people realized, where are the willow catkins this year?

Friends who are surfing the Internet, when they see the discussion on the Internet, will unconsciously open the window to see if there are willow catkins floating outside the window like snowflakes.

However, the scene of snow fluttering in the wind like a winter snow scene in previous years is gone.

It's just a pure green.

"Fuck, when did Lan City's greening management become better than Beijing's?"

On the streets, citizens ride electric bikes to and from get off work in a swaggering manner;

On college campuses, students riding bicycles to class whiz by;
The fire department also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the pitifully few willow catkins.

Naturally, this scene was reported by the media and was also posted online by curious netizens.

"There are very few poplar and willow catkins in Lanzhou this year. I'm a little uncomfortable with it all of a sudden."

"Does anyone know what's going on? My two elders keep saying whether the willow tree has become a spirit."

"Ah? Willow catkins are actually seeds, but they have long white hairs on them, and they fly around like cotton. The reason they don't bloom is because the tree has been sterilized."

"Trees can be sterilized. I've learned something new!"

"The catkins have been flying for thousands of years. Why do you have to give them sterilization shots just because you don't like them (dog head)?"

"King Cheng, hurry up and hit me! My nose still wants to live."

Not only Lanzhou, but citizens of other cities in the northwest also recalled the scene of giving injections and infusions to willow trees on the streets, and then they suddenly realized the reason.

“The technology nowadays is really amazing!”

"This is very effective."

……

In the capital, the landscaping management department of a certain district was gathering together to discuss countermeasures with troubled looks on their faces.

"Lao Wang, aren't you guys doing that high-joint head-swapping thing? Is it working?"

In response to the inquiry from the supervisor, Deputy Director Wang of the Bureau of Landscape and Greening said helplessly: "We only sawed off the trunk and grafted it into a male willow tree this year. It will take at least three years to see the effect."

Seeing the director's expression unchanged, he added: "It's theoretically possible, but high-end grafting only works on willow trees. Poplar trees still have to shed their catkins!"

The director asked again: "What about the injection?"

"It has to be administered every year, and the technical requirements are high. In addition, the cost of medicines is generally too high now," said Deputy Director Wang.

"That's not possible, we really have to cut down the tree!"

"The Olympics will be held next year, who dares to cut down trees?" The director's face darkened, "If we cut down the trees, who will protect us from the wind and sand?"

Willow trees are the main native tree species in Beijing, and their stock accounts for more than 40 percent of the city's total.

The female willow trees in Beijing are relatively large, so it is unrealistic to cut them all down and leave only the male trees, which would also disrupt the balance of the ecological environment.

It is not realistic to change all tree species.

Native tree species are relatively safe and have many advantages. Replacing a large number of native tree species is likely to bring about unpredictable and unimaginable ecological problems.

Many cases of invasive alien species destroying the ecological balance have taught us many lessons.

For a while, the capital city couldn't find a better solution.

The conference room was silent and filled with smoke.

At this time, a young man said:
"Director, I saw on the Internet that the city in Gansu was not affected much by the willow catkins this year. They said they had received sterilization shots. Do you want to ask?"

Deputy Director Wang said subconsciously: "I've already said it's very expensive. The cost is very high. The best we can do is get an injection near the Olympic venues next year."

"Is the case in Gansu an exception?" The director looked at the young man encouragingly.

"No, it should be universal. Several cities including Lanzhou, Jiuquan and Xi'an have controlled the situation this year."

Deputy Director Wang was surprised and said, "How is that possible? How much would it cost?"

"You can find out if you just ask."

Soon, the answer was determined.

Many cities in the northwest have used a new type of plant growth regulator, which costs less than ordinary agents, causes less damage to trees, and naturally has lower technical requirements.

In fact, the low cost alone is enough to attract people.

There are many willow trees in the capital, but there are not necessarily fewer willow trees in northwestern cities.

In terms of financial resources, the cities in the northwest are all very poor. Others can afford it, so why can't I?

There are many cities that have this mentality, and it won’t hurt to ask.

Even if they did not inquire in person, many landscaping management departments were tempted by the sales promotion of agricultural supplies dealers.

It is cheap enough, effective, and has relatively low technical requirements... Apart from having to get injections every year, there are no other disadvantages.

Whether for long-term use or temporary emergency, it is a good choice.

In an experiment at Lanzhou Quanwang, several researchers in white coats were silently adjusting various reagents in glass bottles.

Pink, red, blue...some are still tumbling and bubbling.

They seemed to be some strange things, looking like the villains in a science fiction movie.

After a while, the group of people finished their work, came out of the laboratory, and took a sip of the plant extract mixed drink they had prepared themselves.

"Sister Hui, did you know that the plant regulator that the lab developed last year became a big hit?"

"Which regulator?" Li Hui raised her eyebrows and said, "The laboratory has produced so many results in the past two years that I can't remember them all."

Yuan Fang smiled and said, "The one about sterilizing poplar and willow trees. Don't you hate poplar and willow catkins? There are much fewer catkins in Lanzhou this year."

"Oh."

"I heard that many cities have placed purchase orders, especially Beijing. Seeing the low price, they purchased one million yuan in one go. Now the total sales volume is close to ten million yuan."

"You led the R&D of this product. You should get the sales commission according to the proportion. Unfortunately, the profit of this product is not high."

Li Hui realized it belatedly and said, "It's the season of willow catkins again."

Yuan Fang touched his forehead helplessly. He was really obsessed with research. However, most people in the experiment didn't care much about this.

Plant growth agents have indeed done a great job. A small bottle costs only one or two yuan, and an adult tree only needs to be injected with four or five bottles.

The cost of a tree is kept within 10 yuan.

Some wealthy cities sterilize all the willow trees in the main urban areas at a cost of only a few hundred thousand yuan.

Some small counties choose to sterilize only the poplar and willow trees in the core areas, with the number ranging from a few hundred to one or two thousand trees, costing several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan a year.

Many cities can afford this price.

Why not spend a little money to solve people’s livelihood problems?

Quanwang Bio's plant growth regulators have also made their way onto the national stage.

In recent times, Guo Yang, who has been paying attention to related developments, can't help but become more and more satisfied with the performance of the King of All.
-
Time slowly passed through mid-May, and the willow branches became slender and drooping, swaying in the wind.

On the Gobi Desert, there are yellow flowers, which are the tiny and tough flowers of the sea buckthorn forest. No one passing by would have thought that sea buckthorn flowers as bright as the morning glow could bloom in this dry and desolate Gobi Desert.

The sea buckthorn forests are arranged in rows horizontally and vertically, and it is obvious at first glance that they are standardized orchards that have been carefully managed.

Even the native locals were increasingly surprised.

"This Gobi Desert is full of rocks, but this sea buckthorn tree not only survived but also bloomed. It's really rare."

"Weird things happen every year, but this year there are more. Not only have the willow catkins stopped falling, but the Gobi Desert has also turned green."

“Sea buckthorn is really a magical species.”

"This Jiahe Group is really good at this. I heard that once the seabuckthorn blooms, it will be the turn of the hemp to bloom."

"It will take another two years for sea buckthorn to bear fruit."

Guo Yang drove alone through the sea buckthorn forest. On the originally bare and barren Gobi desert, light green grass began to grow under the protection of the sea buckthorn forest.

More importantly, by digging up the surface soil, the underground leakage environment is changed.

Originally, only one tenth of the water could be retained through natural precipitation and artificial irrigation, but now the roots of sea buckthorn and kenaf are dense, and the amount of water retained can reach 20% to 30%.

This is a huge improvement.

In the spring and autumn of this year, the entire 30 acres of Gobi Desert and land will complete the final planting.

The construction of Jiahe’s headquarters will also be completed.

However, Guo Yang did not know much about building construction, so he completely handed over the project to Rongcheng Dadi Company.

He came to the Gobi Desert mainly to see the development of beekeeping.

Sea buckthorn is also an important nectar plant. In Qinghe County of Altay, sea buckthorn flowers provide a rich source of nectar for beekeepers.

After nearly two years of development, Jiahe Gobi has already taken shape as a nectar source base.

There are not only sea buckthorn, but also Hanhai kenaf, both of which are excellent nectar plants with a flowering period from April to August. If some other plants are planted, plus Tianhe’s flower seed production base, the nectar-collecting period of the bees can be extended to the greatest extent.

At the same time, the climate is dry and bees are less likely to get sick.

In short, the future is promising.

However, when Guo Yang arrived at the grazing area, he was still frightened by the dense swarms of bees.

He has never kept bees, but he was stung a few times when he was a child, and it really hurt for several days!

sloppy.

No wonder Xie Shijie didn’t come when we asked him to come along. Maybe we had expected this.

Guo Yang muttered in his heart: "I guess Xie Shijie was also stung by a bee, so he didn't want to come over."

"But you can't think that way. The first crop of alfalfa will soon be harvested, so it's reasonable for him to go and take a look."

Guo Yang hesitated in the car and soon attracted the attention of a beekeeper, who walked over and looked at him in confusion.

I had no choice but to roll down the car window.

"Does this bee sting?"

"No." Gu Huaihai said: "Where did you come from? What are you doing here?"

It looked like another new employee. Guo Yang smiled and said, "I'm from the group company. I came to take a look at the situation."

"Oh, I'm Gu Huaihai, the person in charge here." Gu Huaihai said, "Don't worry, come down boldly. The bees won't sting you now."

The car window had been rolled down for a while, and although some bees flew in, they did not sting.

Guo Yang also couldn't understand the principle behind this.

But I also plucked up the courage to get out of the car.

Gu Huaihai reminded: "Be quiet when closing the car door."

"Oh."

There were several employees busy in the venue, and Guo Yang didn't understand what they were doing. After learning about the scale of the bee colony, he got straight to the point.

"Is there any honey?"

Gu Huaihai looked as if he knew it was true. These leaders came here for the honey.

"Yes, but these are to be sold. If you want to take them, you need to ask the leader for approval."

"Oh, I just asked casually." Guo Yang smiled and said, "How is the honey?"

"It's OK." Gu Huaihai said, "The color, aroma and taste are relatively stable, and the maturity is high, but the sea buckthorn tree is still too small."

"It will be fine in June. Hanhai kenaf has more flowers and is more suitable for making honey. Not only are there more flowers, but the quality of the honey produced will also be better."

Guo Yangke remembers that one of the characteristics of Hanhai kenaf is that its pollen is extremely attractive to bees.

After staying in the apiary for a while, Guo Yang also learned more knowledge.

For example, some people advocate collecting honey once a year, believing that such honey is better, but in fact this is unscientific.

Just like people, once the bee colonies have stock, they become lazy, and when it comes time to collect honey in the fall, they may not get any honey at all, and the quality of the honey may not necessarily be better.

Therefore, Gu Huaihai and others usually collect honey once every one or two weeks, and they do not collect all of it each time, leaving enough feed for the bees. This can both ensure maturity and increase honey production.

Also, the reason why bees don’t sting people has a lot to do with the quality of their breeding and management.

Pests and diseases, long-term lack of honey and pollen, poor external honey and pollen sources, bees with wild habits, unsuitable climate, abnormal odors, high-decibel noise, etc. can all cause worker bees to sting people.

The bee colonies here are obviously well managed and the climate is suitable.

So Guo Yang also felt at ease and boldly moved around in the bee colony, watching how the employees collected honey.

Maybe I was too proud.

When Guo Yang was watching intently, a bee stung him on the exposed back of his neck without hesitation.

"Hiss...it hurts..."

Guo Yang couldn't help but gasp. The employee next to him immediately realized that he was stung and hurried over to help pull out the stinger.

"Didn't you say it doesn't sting?"

"You stayed outside the hive for too long, blocking the bees from entering and exiting, so of course you were going to get stung."

"You have to sting people even if you're blocking the road?"

"You're delaying people's commute. Do you think the bees will be upset?"

Guo Yang didn't expect that bees, like humans, could also have temper tantrums. This professional matter should be left to professionals.

He did not stroll among the beehive, but returned to the car. He first called Xie Shijie and asked him to say hello to Gu Huaihai, saying that he wanted to take some honey away.

After a while, Gu Huaihai came to the car and said nervously: "Boss, I'm sorry, I haven't recognized you in half a year."

"It's okay. This is my first time coming to the apiary in half a year." Guo Yang grimaced in pain. His neck was getting more and more painful.

Gu Huaihai asked in surprise: "The boss was stung by a bee?"

"Yes, I was bitten accidentally."

Gu Huaihai became more and more nervous. The boss was bitten on his first visit to the apiary. He must be in trouble!

"Give me the honey!" Guo Yang said. It was not easy for him to taste the honey.

"it is good."

Gu Huaihai quickly walked to a small house and said, "Xiao Zhang, quickly bring me a few jars of the best honey."

Xiao Zhang, who is in charge of the warehouse, asked doubtfully: "Boss Gu, Boss Xie said that we can't just give it away casually!"

“That’s the big boss!”

"what?"

"Hurry up, hurry up."

Xiao Zhang quickly took a bag and put a few cans in it, then stuck his head out to look at the car, "I heard that the boss was stung by a bee just now."

"Don't talk nonsense when you look back."

After a while, Guo Yang got the sea buckthorn honey. He opened it and took a look. The honey was a very light amber, transparent and viscous liquid with the fragrance of sea buckthorn flowers.

Gu Huaihai said: "These are all special honeys, which are produced only when a single nectar plant blooms and secretes nectar."

Guo Yang also learned this today. High-quality honey has very high requirements on the homogeneity of the nectar source and the maturity of the honey.

Guo Yang reminded: "When the Hanhai ramie blooms later, remember to distinguish the singleness of the nectar source."

After the car left, Gu Huaihai returned to the office with lingering fear.

Several people were still struggling with the issue until they got off work.

"Which big boss would come to the bee farm alone?"

"Doesn't the boss have bodyguards?"

"It really lives up to its reputation. The boss really likes to go on incognito visits."

Before the end of get off work, the news that the boss went to the apiary and was stung by a bee spread like wildfire within Jiahe.

The story was spread with details and details.

After Guo Yang came out of the hospital, he received a call from Luo Xiu. He went to Jinling and contacted Qianlong Security Company to discuss matters concerning overseas security companies.

"Boss, were you stung by a bee?"

"It's not a big problem."

Later, Xie Shijie also called and said, "Boss, I was stung by a bee. I need to wash it with soapy water immediately."

"Have you been stung too?"

"Yes, it's miserable."

"Then I feel more balanced."

After Guo Yang returned to the company, people would come up to him from time to time to greet him, with wandering eyes.

It turns out that everyone knows that he was stung by a bee.

Ning Xiaojing also came to the office to express her caring greetings and reported on the progress of Jiahe's orchard work.

In addition to apple orchards in the north, Jiahe has also officially started building citrus orchards in Sichuan in the south, dragon fruit in Guangxi, and banana orchards in Hainan.

It is still the conventional orchard planting base of 3000 acres.

These varieties were all cultivated in August 2006.8. After more than half a year of preparation, the nursery will be able to start planting in autumn.

The progress is not slow. That's how an orchard works. It takes time to accumulate.

However, if you control the standards from the beginning, subsequent work will be much easier.

Guo Yang also planned to go to Sichuan as the rice field hydrangeas were about to bear fruit, and he would also like to visit the citrus orchard, as he had some knowledge in this area.

After being busy for a while, Guo Yang finally had some free time. He checked how to consume honey and the development of the domestic honey industry.

Only then did I know that our country is a major honey exporter.

However, since joining the WTO, it has also been subject to sanctions from the EU’s technical barriers.

The reason is still agricultural residues.

Does honey contain pesticide residues?

This made Guo Yang confused.

But after checking the information for a while, it seems to be true.

But while most beekeepers are restricted from exporting their honey, a honey company in Jiangshan, Zhejiang, has seen a sharp increase in honey sales both at home and abroad.

Exports increased by 40%.

It is really based on the quality of honey that it has conquered the domestic and international markets.

Guo Yang was overwhelmed with excitement.

Hanhai red hemp flowers are very attractive to bees, so the quality of the honey they secrete should be good too!

By then, we will conquer the world with quality.

After reading it, Guo Yang also made a little honey and drank it with warm water.

The taste is mellow and sweet, with a unique sea buckthorn flower scent.

"Not bad, not bad." Guo Yang suddenly felt that the pain in the back of his neck was not so severe anymore.

I sat there leisurely for a while, and when it was almost time to get off work, Qu Yang, whom I hadn't seen for a while, walked in.

"Boss, I just got off the plane and heard that you were stung by a bee."

Guo Yang was speechless for a while.
"Isn't it just a bee sting? What's the big deal? You guys came back and asked me if I was stung by a bee. I always feel like you have bad intentions."

"Boss, don't you think about your current status? Is there any boss who acts like a farmer every day?"

“Isn’t Li Denghai different?”

"Even Li Denghai may not be as tanned as you, let alone how can Denghai Seed Industry compare with Jiahe? Even if it compares with Tianhe, it can only eat the tail gas."

Qu Yang spoke eloquently, and every word hit home.

"Please sit down. Let me make you a cup of honey to try." Guo Yang said unhappily.

“Then we must definitely try.”

"How's it going in America?"

"It's OK. We are already carrying out breeding work. Many of the germplasm resources accumulated by Tianhe can be used directly. It is estimated that products will be available on the market in one or two years."

"Hmm." Guo Yang thought for a moment and said, "Next month, I'll go take a look next month too."

It was time to get off work, but the two were still chatting. Qu Yang also took a photo of the honey water and sent it to the group.

For a while, the group became noisy, and everyone was talking about whether the boss was stung by a bee.

Only Peng Shuyu from Jiahe Supermarket was interested in the quality of the honey.

"Boss, Mr. Xie, honey can be sold in supermarkets. These health products are selling very well now. The Cistanche deserticola produced by Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry is very popular. There are many male repeat customers who spend money without blinking an eye."

These words immediately made the men in the group narrow their eyes. Everyone is familiar with Cistanche deserticola, which can replenish kidney yang and improve essence and blood.

Shahai has produced a lot of Cistanche deserticola since last year.

Many married men have stockpiled goods.

It can be used to soak in wine, cook porridge, or stew, but the best effect is to take fresh Cistanche directly orally.

March to May is the time to harvest fresh Cistanche deserticola in large quantities!

For a time, Lu Hanbin became a hot commodity again, and many people sent him private messages.

"Brothers, go find Zhuang Zheng!"

"I'm in the desert every day, so I don't have time to send you posts! Do you know how many trees Happy Farm has saved to plant? There are media and reporters watching it every day, and plant protection drones are very popular. A team of experts came to conduct research in the past two days, and they also asked me to support them and give them face."

Guo Yang accidentally saw it on Qu Yang's phone, and couldn't help but smile, then said in the group:
"If you want fresh Cistanche deserticola, please sign up in the group and I will arrange it for you."

After a brief silence, everyone began to sign up reluctantly.

Basically everyone wanted it.

Guo Yang couldn't help but complain in his heart.

How weak you are!
But what he didn't expect was that several female executives, including Peng Shuyu, Chen Yun, and Fu Qiuyan, also signed up.

Guo Yang looked up at Qu Yang and said, "Should I prepare more for you? You haven't been back to China for a long time."

"Just anything is fine. A few dozen kilograms will be enough."

"Aren't you afraid of making up for it?"

"No." Qu Yang smiled and said, "Isn't it said in the company that I have eight wives?"

Knew it!
As long as it is related to the kidneys, men spend money more than women.
