Chapter 124 The Great Harvest

However, unlike the artificially raised bees, these honeycombs are not a straight piece, but a bit like a drooping sac, but it can be seen from the side that it is a flat honey block.

The wild bees do not have the grids in the artificial beehives, so they directly made a hive hanging from the top, and there are many hives of similar shapes and sizes inside. The color is yellow, which is very attractive to look at.

Before the old man started, he said: "Let's just take some of it, and leave the rest for the bees to eat. Food is also needed for the winter."

All three of them nodded at the same time. It is definitely not the right way to go fishing. The wild bees will gather honey to make honey next year after the winter.

This hive is quite large, so there are quite a few honey blocks in it.

After waiting for the bees to fly away, the old man began to carefully remove the honey lumps with a knife. Wei Jingze hurriedly handed over the bucket he brought, and the old man put all the honey lumps into the bucket.

There is a yellow layer on the outside of the honey block, which looks like pollen. The pollen covers the hexagonal honeycombs. The honeycombs are full of dark yellow honey, which looks very attractive.

Wei Jingze couldn't help breaking off a little bit, gave it to Jiang Yanzong and Master Yingqi first, and then tasted a little bit himself, the taste was really indescribable, it was different from the pure sweetness of the honey he had eaten before. Similarly, this honey can be said to be fragrant and sweet.These bees are supposed to collect honey from flowers, so it’s really hard to say which kind of flower’s fragrance it is, so it seems that the fragrance is also very layered, with a sense of deliciousness and happiness.

As soon as the old man turned his head and saw the way the three of them were eating, he couldn't help laughing: "Is it that delicious?"

The three of them nodded in unison. Of course it is delicious. The honey made from wild honey is indeed better than the artificially raised one. It has a very pure taste of honey.

The old man smiled even more, and said, "Isn't it delicious? When you go back, shake out the honey and eat as much as you can!"

Master Yingqi said: "Okay, when I get back, I'll go to the restaurant to make some honey biscuits and other snacks, let's eat slowly!"

The old man happily said yes.

After the hive has taken a few pieces of honey, it stops taking it and leaves enough food for the bees.

Before leaving, the old man tidied up the hole again to make sure that there was no fire left. The bee hole was also covered with thatch, leaving only an opening for the bees to come in and out, so that others would not find the hive and take all the honey inside. The bees have no honey to eat.

Wei Jingze put a bucket of honey into his back basket, and carefully covered it with a film and bamboo cover, feeling quite satisfied.

After finishing this hive, it was already noon, and everyone found a place to sit down and eat.

With Master Yingqi here, everyone can't eat steamed buns and pickles like Wei Jingze and the others did last time. This time, the rice balls made by Master Yingqi are served with some side dishes. Even if they are cold, they taste very delicious!The four of them ate everything in their lunch boxes.

The last time Wei Jingze and Jiang Yanzong went to the mountains together, they didn't come across a walnut tree. This time, there is an old man leading the way, no luck, just go to the walnut tree.

However, the walnuts here are not big, they look small, and they are a bit difficult to open. It is said that there is not much meat, but they are delicious and oily, and they will not feel greasy after eating.

This season, the walnuts are almost gone, so they are all picked up on the ground. Master Yingqi nodded and said, go back to make walnut cakes.

After picking up the walnuts, the old man took everyone to fetch another wild beehive, but this one was smaller and not as big as the first one, so the honey he got was not particularly large.

At first, everyone thought it was a good thing to harvest so much today. They were going to walk around to find some fruit trees with nuts. When they picked up nuts, they suddenly heard the sound of strong wind.

When taking honey, the strong wind hides far away. Needless to say, bees are not easy to provoke. If you get stung and become ugly, the key is that it is very uncomfortable, so the strong wind will walk a hundred meters away , When the honey was finished and ready to leave, Wei Jingze would call Dafeng, and Dafeng knew it was safe.

Just after taking the honey, Wei Jingze took a small piece of honeycomb and licked it for Dafeng. Dafeng's ears immediately stood up, and his eyes immediately straightened. Wei Jingze thought something was wrong, but Dafeng's tail froze Shaking it up, obviously I like this wild honey so much!Dafeng is also very good at choosing food.

So Dafeng remembered this sweet and greasy taste.

When taking honey for the second time, Dafeng ran away again. I smelled and smelled it nearby. There are many smells in the woods. Danger.

Just when Dafeng buried his head in smelling everywhere, he suddenly smelled a sweet and greasy smell. Dafeng was stunned and sniffed, it was true!It's just that the smell is faint, as if it's a little far away.

Excited, Dafeng immediately trotted along the smell, and after turning a small circle, Dafeng finally found the source of the smell, so Dafeng immediately yelled, wanting Wei Jingze to come and get honey quickly!That sweet thing is delicious!It smells so good!

When Wei Jingze heard Dafeng's call, he also heard Dafeng's excitement. He thought Dafeng had found a fat rabbit or something.So Wei Jingze said to the old man and the others: "Come here slowly, I'll go see what Dafeng is doing."

The three agreed, and Wei Jingze immediately ran towards the direction of the wind.

Seeing Dafeng jumping up and down in place, he was very happy, but there were no pheasants and hares. Wei Jingze wondered what Dafeng was excited about.

When Dafeng saw Wei Jingze, he immediately ran over and bit Wei Jingze's trouser leg with his mouth, and pulled it towards the edge of the tree. In order to prevent Dafeng from tearing his pants, Wei Jingze hurriedly followed Dafeng's speed.

The thing that makes Gale very excited is a withered tree. This tree has long since died, and its branches and leaves have long since disappeared. There is only a trunk left. The trunk is very thick. It is estimated that the tree was not young when it died. .The trunk was leaning against another tree, and it looked crumbling. There was a lot of green moss growing on the black bark, and it looked vibrant even in this autumn.

Wei Jingze looked left and right, but he didn't see the reason for the strong wind's excitement. Later, when he saw the strong wind screaming into the tree hole, Wei Jingze leaned over, pushed aside the dry grass and looked inside the tree trunk.

The trunk is empty. It is estimated that this layer of bark is the only thing left in the whole tree, but there are something hanging in the bark. If you look closely, it turns out to be honey!

Wei Jingze turned his head to look at Dafeng, Dafeng barked twice, as if he was very happy that Wei Jingze finally understood what he meant.

Wei Jingze looked at the seemingly large amount of honey again, propped himself up and touched Dafeng's head, and said, "Good job, it's a shame you can see this."

Dafeng barked, and Wei Jingze said, "Okay, I'll make honey water for you when we go back!"

Gale couldn't be happier.

At this time, the voice of the old man called Wei Jingze came from the woods, and Wei Jingze hurriedly stood up and responded: "Here! I will let Dafeng come to pick you up!"

Without a dog to guide the way, even the old man would easily get lost, because the woods look different every year and every season.

Dafeng flicked his tail to pick up the old man and others. The old man and Master Yingqi panted slightly, and Jiang Yanzong also blushed a little, probably because he was in a hurry.

Master Yingqi found a clean stone, sat down on his buttocks, and said, "You dog runs too fast, and you don't know how to take care of our old bones."

Wei Jingze hurriedly apologized for Dafeng, and said: "I will teach Dafeng in the future. Dafeng is so excited, so he runs faster. There is a big beehive in this tree trunk. Dafeng found it, and he probably looks forward to it. Get honey!"

The old man wiped his sweat, and was pleasantly surprised when he heard this: "Really? Let me see!"

Wei Jingze pointed to the entrance of the cave, and the old man lay down on the ground and looked into the cave. After only one glance, he burst into laughter and said, "It is indeed a very large beehive, even bigger than the first one. Congratulations!"

Jiang Yanzong and Master Yingqi were very pleasantly surprised. When Dafeng heard the old man praising himself, he wagged his tail even faster. Well, it's all thanks to me, so I want to eat honey when I go back!

This meaning is expressed very clearly.

The old man also made a promise to Dafeng: "Okay, I'll drink honey water for you when I go back!"

Dafeng suddenly jumped up happily, Wei Jingze said so, the old man also said so, so there are two honey water?Happiness comes too suddenly!

Everyone watched Dafeng excitedly and laughed for a while, and the old man was ready to fetch honey.

The two holes at both ends of the trunk are some distance away from the beehive, and there is no way to take it directly. After discussing with several people, they decided to open a piece of the bark, wait until the honey is taken, and then cover it back, try to restore it as much as possible to ensure the safety of the beehive.

Fortunately, he brought a knife and other tools when he went up the mountain. Under the guidance of the old man, Wei Jingze began to make holes in the bark. Although the bark looked rotten, in fact it was still It is tougher and not so easy to open, and Wei Jingze is worried that if the whole tree trunk is broken or falls down, all the hives inside will be destroyed if he uses too much force. .

After working for nearly an hour, Wei Jingze managed to peel off a piece of bark. When the bark was removed, the honey could be seen.

At this time, according to the order of taking honey, first put on the protective gear, then use smoke to remove the bees in the hive, and then take the honey. This old man is very skilled in doing this. Fill up the several barrels that everyone brought.

Seeing that the bucket was full, although the honeycomb could still take some, it was enough for the rations of the bees, but the old man still decided not to be greedy. After stopping, he asked Wei Jingze to cover the bark back, and put a straw woven rope on it Tie it up to prevent the bark from falling off due to external force.

After doing all this, several people looked at the three buckets full of honey, and they were very satisfied. They were ready to go home and make it delicious!

Everyone was carrying heavy loads on the return journey, but everyone was very happy.
