Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Chapter 430 Collecting Honey

Gu Siwei believes that the fruit produced by the fruit trees he planted in the space will be delicious, but he also believes that there will be no nearby villagers who will not eat his free fruit and spend money to buy his own fruit, let alone the factory. Workers will choose their own high-priced fruits over cheaper home-grown fruits sold by farmers.

What?

Why does Gu Siwei sell his own fruits so expensive? That's because Gu Siwei never believes that good products come at cheap prices. If his own fruits are good, they will naturally be sold at a high price.

After eating a few loquats, Gu Siwei continued to look at the other fruits in his small orchard to see if any were ripe. As he walked, Gu Siwei passed a honey box and took a casual look at it. He found some Bits of honey dripped along the seams of the sealed box.

"Even this... forget it, these people really can't count on it."

The honey box was full of honey, but no one at home noticed it. This made Gu Siwei not know what to say for a while. He walked over and climbed up the tree. Gu Siwei checked the honey box and found that it was indeed full. Yes, if it had been discovered any longer, the bees themselves would have eaten it.

After coming down from the tree, Gu Siwei ran to the nearest point and found that it was just as he thought. Although this honey box was not as full as the previous one, it was still ready for harvesting.

After looking through all the honey boxes, Gu Siwei took Xiaomao directly, took the backpack, and put a tin bucket directly in the backpack.

Ouch!

When Da Mao saw Gu Siwei carrying a basket on his back and exuding the sweet scent of honey, he immediately followed him.

Gu Siwei didn't chase it away, just let it follow behind him, and just like that, he returned to the forest with one man, one bear, one dog and two horses.

Gu Siwei started cutting directly from the nearest honey box.

When we came to the tree, we climbed the tree first. When we got to the fork of the big tree, Ya'er untied the rope that hung the box, put down the honey box hanging almost to the top of the tree crown, and then opened the lid, and you can see a whole section of the trunk. In the hollowed-out honey box, there are pieces of perfect honeycombs, each of which is a perfect hexagon, and each hexagon is filled with amber honey.

Cut off most of it with a knife, Gu Siwei put the honey nest into the iron bucket, then put the hand that was holding the nest into his mouth and ate the honey on his hand.

"Um!"

The honey in this season really has a strong floral fragrance, and Gu Siwei can taste it from this piece of honey. What these bees like most is peach blossom, because the honey has a peach blossom smell.

"Still a bee who loves peach blossoms," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

He continued to cut honey, and Gu Siwei tasted every piece he cut. He found that all the bees in this swarm seemed to be fans of peach blossoms. The taste in the whole box was the same, but the time of picking was different. The flowers of the honey were different. The fragrance is also different. You can clearly feel that the further away from the entrance and exit of the beehive, the stronger the peach blossom aroma of the honey will be. In other words, the flowers will bloom more abundantly at this time, and the nectar source will be better.

Three-fifths of a box of Honeycomb Gusiwei was taken out, leaving almost half a little less. Moreover, each piece of Honeycomb Gusiwei was not completely cut off. There was always a little left so that these industrious bees could continue to brew. The capitalist Gu Siwei can continue to exploit the fruits of their labor.

After hanging up the honey box, Gu Siwei slid down from the tree.

The trees on which the honey boxes are hung are not fruit trees, but old trees that existed in the past. Originally, it would take a person and a half people to hug them, so it would be perfect to hang a honey box on them.

Seeing Gu Siwei sliding down from the tree, Da Mao was so anxious that he screamed for a piece of honey to try.

"The honey nest is hanging on the tree, you...".

Originally, Gu Siwei wanted to make fun of him, saying why Da Mao didn't reach for the honey nest in the tree. It's a good thing that Da Mao can't speak, otherwise he would have replied: How do you know I didn't go enough?

Does Da Mao want to eat honey? He definitely wants to eat it. Not only does he want to eat it, he also wants to eat it from the bottom of his heart. Unfortunately, although he can climb trees, Da Mao has no way to deal with this swarm of bees.

When Gu Siwei built a honey box to select bees, he must choose from the bees in the space. Although there are bees outside, such as a nest over there in the storage hole, it is inconvenient and not as good as space. If you want to dodge, you can go in. Well, although the storage cave is not far away, who doesn’t want to save trouble.

Second, the bees in the space are slightly larger. If you don't pay attention, you may not be able to tell them apart, but the bees in the space are indeed larger than outside.

Judging from Gu Siwei's character, who likes big things but doesn't like small things, there is no choice at all. He just goes to Fengzi in space.

For Gu Siwei, the difference between the two types of bees is size, but for Da Mao, it is not the case. If it is too close to the hive, the bees raised in these spaces will not be a good thing. If you can make the hair bigger and fatter, it will not only sting you, but also have an anesthetic effect, which will make you feel dizzy and fall from the tree.

If you don't remember it once, you will forget Da Mao's silly temperament after a few more visits, and you won't dare to come up to steal honey again. Not only Da Mao, but all animals, including birds, will not dare to approach the hive.

Gu Siwei didn't notice that there wasn't any bird droppings within ten meters around the tree where he hung the hive.

"When you have enough food, you can smell the honey, and you are like a dog. Youtiao, I didn't say anything about you, you have always been a good comrade, I said big hair...".

Although he was mumbling, Gu Siwei still took a cut piece of honey nest from the bucket and handed it to Da Mao.

Da Mao also knew how to write the word polite, so he took it, hugged it, sat down and started chewing it.

Gu Siwei didn't think much, and just carried the bucket to the next honey nest. When Da Mao saw Gu Siwei moving, he immediately took the honey nest in his mouth and licked the honey off his two front paws. , and then followed Gu Siwei with Xiaopao.

Gu Siwei didn't pay attention to these details at all. He was humming a little tune while going to the second honey nest tree. After arriving at the place, he continued the previous step, climbed the tree and placed a box to harvest honey, all in one go.

After going back and forth seven or eight times like this, Gu Siwei harvested all the honey from all the honey nests, and then he returned to his house with three large buckets of honey.

First, they drove Chestnut and Big Fat to graze, while You Ni stood guard at the door. As for Big Hair, he played with him wherever he fell in love. After eating a piece of Big Honey Nest, he followed shamelessly. Gu Siwei simply ignored it.

What, let it eat?

Believe it or not, the three buckets of honey collected are not enough for one person. Oh, no, they were made by a bear.

At this moment, Da Mao was a real pot-bellied man. If he opened his mouth to eat, two sheep would not be able to stop him, and a cow would be about the same as a normal scalper.

That is to say, Gu Siwei has space to support him, otherwise he would not be able to raise a behemoth like Da Mao. Gu Siwei knows that it is comparable to the world's largest brown bear, but it is definitely much bigger than the ordinary Chinese bear. Anyway, among the wild bears nearby, no one has the guts to rub against a tree in front of the big bear if they see it, or do something like that. Taking provocative actions.

After the bees were finished, Gu Siwei had to pack the honey separately.

What to use to store honey?

Of course, they are cans and bottles. Gu Siwei is really looking for a crisper box that will be used in a few decades, but he needs it now. Let alone in China, Gu Siwei has never seen the kind that can be heated and can be used in the Hong Kong market. Cool fresh storage box.

Therefore, although cans are inconspicuous, they can be used to hold honey.

Gu Siwei's family has a lot of jars and bottles, but this time there was a bit too much honey. The cans and bottles at home were all used up, and they couldn't hold so much honey.

While he was worrying, there was movement outside. When Gu Siwei pricked up his ears, he knew that his wife had returned with a family of young people. The old man was naturally several old men in the family, and the young one was Gu Siwei's son.

"dad!"

Before the little guys entered the house, they started howling at the top of their lungs. I used to feel my head grow bigger when I heard these sounds, but after not listening to them for a month, I suddenly felt that the sounds were a little bit more attractive.

Is this the beauty created by distance? Gu Siwei thought for a moment.

The little guy outside was still shouting at the top of his lungs, and Gu Siwei had no choice. He shouldn't let his two-hundred-and-five-year-old son have his throat chopped off by shouting.

"Stop shouting, it's in the house, come in quickly, come in and eat honey," Gu Siwei responded loudly.

Hearing Gu Siwei's answer, a bunch of little guys ran in happily, and they didn't know who they were. When they saw Youni at the door, they stopped and pulled Youni's ears for a while, almost making Youni roll his eyes.

"If you keep pulling me like this, I'll kick you to death!"

After all, he was an uncle. A biological uncle would not be lenient at all when beating up his nephew.

The little guy immediately retracted his hand and trotted to catch up with his brothers.

Hu Yanqiu pretended that he didn't see it, and she didn't feel bad at all. At this time, almost every family had free-range children, so she felt bad after being beaten by her uncle? Then don't do anything else all day long, just feel bad.

Now parents don't have time to worry about such trivial matters.

Entering the house directly, Hu Yanqiu saw dozens of cans and bottles filled with honey on the table, as well as more than one bucket of unfinished honey.

"What, they're all cut off?"

Hu Yanqiu said, came to the table, took a piece of honey from Gu Siwei, who was about to share the honey with the children, and then broke it into two pieces, that is to say, from the original large piece, this piece The honey block is divided into two small pieces.

"Don't let them eat too much sweets, watch your teeth carefully," Hu Yanqiu said.

Gu Siwei had no objection to this. It was indeed bad for children to eat too much sugar, and Gu Siwei was not sick and wanted to do this.

Soon each of the six little things held a piece of honey.

Hu Yanping, who followed in, didn't need anyone else to tell him. He took a piece himself, which was almost three or four times the size of the children. He sat at the table and began to eat happily.

This made a bunch of boys greedy. They all looked at the honey cubes in their hands, which were not much bigger than their own hands. Then they looked at the honey cubes in their uncle's hands, which were several times bigger than their uncle's hands. They all had little faces. It's all about envy.

Snapped!

Hu Yanping's good days ended instantly because Sicui came in.

He snatched the honey piece from Hu Yanping's hand, split it in two, and gave the smallest piece to Hu Yanping. The larger piece turned to the door and threw it to Da Mao, who was at the door eagerly smelling the smell of honey in the air.

Seeing that the pieces of honey in their uncle's hands were now smaller than their own, the little guys were satisfied and continued to lick the honey happily.

When Hu Yanping started grabbing honey from Sicui, he looked confused and stared at Sicui with his mouth open. Until Sicui came back, he didn't even dare to fart. He looked down at the honey cubes in his hand and threw them all away. He put it in his mouth and chewed it with vengeance.
