Bind the system and take your younger siblings to survive in the disaster years

Li Qingxiu put another chicken drumstick into Qingfeng Li's bowl and said, "This pancake is made of cornmeal. Since you like to eat it, when the weather recovers in the future, our family will grow some corn."

The two siblings were playing with Li Qingxiao after eating, when there was a knock on the courtyard door.

Li Qingxiu went to open the door and saw that the person who came was Li Dazhuang. She was a little surprised because Li Dazhuang and the others were going to dig winter bamboo shoots today, and she didn't expect to come back so soon.

"Uncle Da Zhuang, you're back so soon!" After Li Qingxiu said that, he turned sideways to let Li Dazhuang in.

Li Dazhuang smiled and waved his hand: "I won't go in. When we went to dig bamboo shoots, we found a large honeycomb on the mountain wall on the other side of the bamboo forest.

Maybe it was because of the cold weather, but none of the bees stung us when we collected bees. We took down the entire hive.

Li Zheng also asked me to come over and ask you to teach everyone how to make beeswax candles. "

Li Qingxiu's eyes lit up, she didn't expect Li Zheng and the others to have such a big gain. "Okay, I'll tell Xiaofeng and then I'll follow you."

"I have to go home. You go to the bonfire later. They are all waiting for you there." After Li Dazhuang finished speaking, he took the first step.

Li Qingxiu went back to the house and told Qingfeng Li that she had to go to the bonfire to teach everyone how to make beeswax candles, and asked Qingfeng Li to take good care of Li Qingxiao at home.

"Sister, you can go ahead with peace of mind." Qingfeng Li nodded obediently.

Li Qingxiu quickly arrived at the bonfire in the open space. At this time, everyone's faces were filled with joyful smiles, and the air also exuded a sweet smell of exclusive honey.

Li Qingxiu walked up and saw everyone filtering the honey from the hive.

The children on the side were all staring intently, and the slightly smaller children put their fingers in their mouths and swung. They desperately hope that adults can give them some honey to taste.

"Qingxiu girl, you came just in time. Everyone is filtering out the honey. After filtering, you can teach everyone how to make beeswax candles." Li Zheng saw Li Qingxiu coming and greeted him with a smile.

Li Qingxiu said: "I didn't expect that everyone would be so lucky to find so many hives."

Li Zheng nodded: "Yes, we were lucky this time. There are at least hundreds of kilograms of honey in that hive. Pretty girl, do you think how many candles can be made from so many hives?"

"There should be quite a few." After Li Qingxiu said that, he saw the third master and a few men cutting bamboo in the open space on the other side, and there were a lot of chopped bamboo placed at their feet.

Li Qingxiu asked in confusion: "Uncle Li Zheng, what are you planning to do by cutting so many bamboos?"

"Oh, we need to prepare lanterns. Lanterns are more windproof than torches. With lanterns, it is easier for us to go up the mountain to find supplies." Satomasa explained with a smile.

At this time, Widow Jia came over with a bamboo tube and a bowl of water, and said to Li Qingxiu: "Qingxiu, here is the freshly filtered honey for you, and here is the honey water, it is delicious, you Give it a try.”

Seeing Li Zheng staring at the bamboo tube in her hand, Widow Jia immediately explained: "Li Zheng, don't get me wrong. I picked this honey myself and filtered it myself."

Li Zheng silently rolled his eyes. "I know, I didn't say anything."

Li Qingxiu took the honey water from Widow Jia's hand with a smile, took a sip and praised: "This honey is very good! It's very sweet."

After Li Qingxiu finished speaking, she heard the sound of gurgling. She and Widow Jia followed the sound and saw a row of children not far away looking enviously at the honey water in Li Qingxiu's hand.

Widow Jia was afraid that Li Qingxiu would be embarrassed, so she asked the children to ask their elders for honey water.

The kids immediately got into a fuss and wanted to taste the honey water. The adults were so annoyed that they had no choice but to agree that they would each make a bowl of honey water to sweeten their mouths later.

Li Qingxiu also told Li Zheng that he needed to cut more bamboo sticks to use as wax cores, set up two iron pots to prepare the honeycomb residue, and make more bamboo tubes to hold the beeswax liquid.

When Li Zheng heard this, he didn't ask any questions and did everything as Li Qingxiu said.

After the two iron pots were set up, Li Qingxiu began to teach everyone how to boil the honeycomb dregs. She first put the filtered honeycomb dregs into the iron pot and heated it slowly to let the wax in the honeycomb dregs gradually melt.

Widow Jia looked at the slowly melting honeycomb residue in the pot and said, "It looks a bit like boiling lard."

Xiao Chen on the side smiled and said: "Hey, don't tell me, they really look alike."

After the honeycomb residue boiled, Li Qingxiu said that the liquid needed to be filtered, so Li Zheng found a large cloth bag and wooden barrel, and then filtered the beeswax liquid.

Li Qingxiu poured the filtered wax liquid into the bamboo tube again, and then placed a bamboo stick.

After finishing, Li Qingxiu said to everyone: "As long as the wax liquid solidifies, the beeswax candle will be completed."

Li Goudan said in surprise: "Is it over now? It's quite simple."

Li Qingxiu smiled: "The production process is not difficult in the first place, it is just difficult to find the raw materials."

After hearing what Li Qingxiu said, everyone nodded in agreement. They knew they were lucky to be able to find so many hives this time. I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to make beeswax candles again in the future.

The next step is to queue up everyone to get started. Li Qingxiu was on the side giving instructions. When they completely mastered how to make candles, Li Qingxiu planned to go back.

"Monkeys, there are so many monkeys!"

At this time, a startled breath attracted everyone's attention. Everyone looked around and saw dozens of monkeys running towards them not far away.

Li Lei suddenly realized, "No wonder we didn't meet any monkeys when we dug winter bamboo shoots this time. It turns out they followed us back secretly."

The monkeys were getting closer and closer, their eyes fixed on the honey beside the campfire.

Li Qingxiu's heart tightened, and she realized that these monkeys might have been attracted by the aroma of cooking honeycomb residue.

Widow Jia quickly came to Li Qingxiu and asked, "Last time, I was attracted by the winter bamboo shoots. Could it be that this time I am attracted by the fragrance of honey?"

Li Qingxiu nodded slightly: "That's probably the reason."

As soon as Li Zheng heard this, he immediately said: "How about giving them some honey and seeing if we can send them away?"

Li Lei disagreed. "It's useless. There are so many monkeys here. If they are not fed, they will definitely not leave."

Li Qingxiu also echoed: "Brother Li Lei is right, and what should we do next time after feeding them this time? As long as we feed them once, they will definitely come to pester us next time they are hungry."

Li Zheng said worriedly: "What should we do? These monkeys look like wolves and are not easy to mess with."
