Chapter 123 Wild Honey

After entering Weibo and reading it, I realized that they have a lot of fans!Of course, there are quite a few Weibo posts, with various contents, but they are all related to animals, or pets.

In addition to some popular science knowledge, there are also some animal photos and short stories, as well as chicken soup jokes, and this Weibo writer can really write.

Moreover, there are quite a lot of retweets and comments on these microblogs. Wei Jingze looked at them for a while, and then realized that Ethan, Duoduo, etc. are the names of other animals. It is really amazing that these animals have fans.

Wei Jingze doesn't have any special feelings for animals. He just thinks that Dafeng is unique and a unique existence. Of course, every pet owner may think that their pets are the most special, but Wei Jingze's feelings for Dafeng are even more special. Not the same, maybe because both of them are from the military?

Wei Jingze spent some time looking through Weibo, and found that this hospital is really very popular. The most important thing is that it is located in City B, and their family also sells goat milk powder. Of course, there is no advantage in terms of products and prices. , and even the price is more expensive, but the sales volume is very good, obviously the fans support a lot.

Wei Jingze thought for a while, and placed an order. In addition to buying goat milk powder for the two kittens, he also bought dog food for Dafeng and the others. He was so busy that he didn't have much time to go to the city to buy them. This hospital looks quite reliable. , just buy it directly.

Now express delivery can also be delivered. After the road is repaired, it will be much more convenient for express delivery to come in. In addition, Pan Qiuyang's family is a big online shopper. In addition to his wife's shopping, he also needs to buy clothes, toys, and books for his children. I saw the courier come to deliver the courier to his house.

After closing the online shopping page, Wei Jingze continued to study the strategies for raising milk cats. It turns out that milk cats need to be wiped, otherwise they can't poop themselves. Wei Jingze really doesn't know about this.

After studying the popular science posts carefully, Wei Jingze has some ideas on how to raise a milk cat. It takes about two days for the goat milk powder to arrive. In these two days, he can only drink fish soup and eat fish meat.

Fortunately, the two kittens did not have any adverse reactions. After playing in the house for a while, they fell asleep on a piece of Wei Jingze's clothes. The kittens are so cute when they are asleep!While Wei Jingze was a little apprehensive, he was also a little happy. The black cat handed over the two kittens to him, probably because he trusted him?I really didn't expect that I would be trusted by a cat.

Jiang Yanzong was able to accept Gale sleeping in the house before, but now he has no complaints about the two little milk cats, but he is a little worried about the cat hair.However, the two kittens seem to like the smell of Wei Jingze very much. Every time they go to bed, they look for Wei Jingze's clothes and pants, never Jiang Yanzong's, although Jiang Yanzong's clothes are better than Wei Jingze's, much more comfortable and soft.

After the autumn harvest was over, there were really not many things to do. Wei Jingze discussed with the old man about harvesting the millet, and the old man agreed to continue to hold eyes.But the old man said: "I can't go with you for the next two days about harvesting millet. We have other things to do."

Wei Jingze was curious: "What's the matter?"

Master Yingqi smiled very happily, and said: "Your grandfather told me about the wild honey on the mountain, and we decided to go up the mountain to look for it."

It turned out that the two old men were greedy for wild honey, and they had already agreed to look for it in the next two days.

Wei Jingze was also very curious. He had been in the village for almost two years and had never seen a real wild honey, so he decided to go with him and asked Jiang Yanzong, "Do you want to play?"

Jiang Yanzong didn't know what Wei Jingze was thinking, and he definitely wanted to follow along to join in the fun and watch the wonders!

Since he wants to go, then go, the mountains are also quite fun.

So Jiang Yanzong nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and have a look together!"

Wei Jingze immediately said to the old man, "Grandpa, the two of us are going too!"

The old man thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's go together, and you have to take care of Xiao Jiang when the time comes."

Wei Jingze nodded without thinking, this is his bounden duty!You have to keep an eye on him!

The old man chose a good weather and set off with the three of them.

This is the first time Master Yingqi has gone up the mountain. Wei Jingze is still a little worried that he will need someone to take care of him, and his physical strength cannot keep up. Unexpectedly, Master Yingqi is also very good on the mountain. People are better.

This time, the mountain where the old man took Wei Jingze to dig Gastrodia elata last year was the direction, but it was a little more remote, and the mountain road was really winding.

The old man was very comfortable walking on the mountain, Wei Jingze felt a little ashamed of himself, but this season, there are not many wild fruits on the mountain, occasionally you can see some wild fruit trees, the old man can come one by one and ask if they can be eaten , What does it taste like, there are indeed many good things in this mountain, many things are edible, and there are also many wild herbs, which can be used to treat wounds urgently after being injured or bitten by a snake It seems that no plant grows in vain, and each plant has its own abilities and specialties.

After passing a big tree, the old man stopped and said to Wei Jingze, "Kick this tree."

Wei Jingze: "Ah?" Why kick a tree by the side of the road for no reason?

The old man didn't seem to be joking at all, and said, "Kick hard."

Wei Jingze thought for a while, since the old man asked him to kick, then he should kick!So Wei Jingze raised his foot and kicked on the tree trunk, only heard a rustling sound, Wei Jingze also felt something hit his head and body.Even the strong wind was smashed and ran away.

When I took a closer look, what fell on the ground were small black bead-like nuts. The outer skin was already black, and the black was shiny, which looked very interesting.

The old man nodded and said, "A few more kicks."

So Wei Jingze kicked a few more times, and more small fruit trees fell down, like it was raining.

The old man started to squat down to pick up things on the ground, and even Master Yingqi helped to pick up things. Wei Jingze asked while helping, "What is this? What can it do?"

He may have seen this thing before, but Wei Jingze didn't know what it was used for.

The old man said: "This is the bitter pearl in our dialect. The meat inside is bitter when it is not cooked. If you peel off the skin, you can grind it to make tofu. It is different from the tofu made from beans. It is very special. It can also be compared with The glutinous rice is cooked together in the pork belly, and it is good for people to eat."

What the old man talked about were all local recipes, which were the eating methods developed by the farmers in their lives for so many years. He said that they were good, but he couldn't tell clearly, he only knew that they were very good.

Master Yingqi then said: "I've heard of this thing before, and your grandfather mentioned it to me today, so I want to try it."

It turned out to be like this, Wei Jingze kicked the tree twice again, and a lot of small bitter beads fell out, he bit one and ate it, it really tasted like a freshly picked nut, only with a slightly bitter taste.

The four of them worked together and picked up a lot of bitter pearls. The old man told everyone to move on. If you continue to delay like this, it will be too late to go home, and it will take a lot of time to get the wild honey!

Wild honey is the honey made by wild bees. It is said that the honey made by wild bees is sweeter, more fragrant and more delicious than the honey made by artificially raised bees. I don’t know if it is true. It may be because some people feed bees with sugar water. So the honey made by artificially raised bees is not so good.

After walking for several hours, I finally stopped in front of a hole.

Master Yingqi was more impatient and asked, "Where is the hive? Where is the hive?"

The old man said: "Don't worry, put on all the net pockets first."

When collecting honey, you must take good protection. Even domesticated bees are not easy to provoke, not to mention wild bees, which are more fierce than domesticated bees, so there should be no skin exposed outside, or you will be stung.

The old man made several sets of simple protective equipment with the nets and hats used to surround the vegetable garden, and used them to protect everyone when collecting honey. When he was trying it out, Jiang Yanzong said in a silly way: "Is it okay to wear this?" Are you afraid of mosquito bites?"

Wei Jingze thought this guy was really interesting, and he thought of using this mosquito repellent.But the same principle applies to mosquito nets.

"Let Dafeng go away a little bit, or he will be stung." The old man told Wei Jingze.

Wei Jingze was busy putting on the protective gear for Jiang Yanzong. His careful look and the intimate attitude of the two of them made the two old people feel a little embarrassed. Young people, show affection if there is any disagreement!

After hearing the old man's words, Wei Jingze helped Jiang Yanzong pull the back part up, and then ran to talk to Dafeng, telling him to go a little farther and not stay around here.

Although dogs are covered in fur, bees are not easy to mess with. Those cats and dogs who have been stung all have swollen lumps. Although it is funny, it is also very pitiful and painful.

Dafeng listened to Wei Jingze's words and ran away. Wei Jingze turned around and began to watch the honey collection.

Except for the old man, no one else has done this before, and it would be good for the others not to cause trouble, so Wei Jingze was the only one who could step forward to help.

Before taking honey, remove all the weeds at the entrance of the hole, and make sure there is no flammable dead grass.

Then, the old man got a handful of weeds, put some green leaves in them, and lit them with a lighter. The weeds tried to burn but couldn't burn well, making smoke, and when they got close to the hole, they started to smoke the bees.

When taking honey, all the bees in the honeycomb should be taken out. The most commonly used and easiest way to operate is to use smoke, so that the bees will not be harmed.

The old man smoked with weeds for a long time, and the bees came out of the nest, and all of them flew out, but they didn't fly away, but flew around. Because they were threatened, the bees were also very aggressive, and all four of them were on the body. There are some bees on the ground, and I use protective things, so I don’t have to be afraid of being stung by bees.

Wei Jingze was at the side helping the old man, while the other two were completely onlookers, unable to help.

The old man smoked several fires, and finally no bees flew out of the hive. The old man looked inside and said, "Can you see the honey?"

Wei Jingze stretched his head to look, the hive was pitch black, but he could see a whole yellow piece lying across the hole, it was honey.
