Chapter 223: Ginger Honey Syrup (Ask for Subscription)
Not long after dinner, the villagers really came.
There were more than a dozen people in total, both men and women.
Among them, Tan Dasha, Liu Erliang, and the village chief and his wife all came.
Probably by appointment, everyone rode motorcycles, hula and poured into the courtyard, and suddenly the dark courtyard was very bright.
"It's small in the house, let's just boil sugar water in the yard. ”
When Liu Qingshan came out, he held a big pot and smiled at the people who had just stopped the car: "Boiling sugar water in the yard must have a different flavor." ”
Liu Erliang agreed: "Good idea, Dasha, follow me to move stones." ”
When Tan Dasha heard this, he hurriedly caught up with Liu Erliang, ran to the corner of the yard, and moved a few stones.
The stones were piled together, and a makeshift stove was built, and a large iron pot was placed on it.
The village chief was in charge of lighting the fire, while the village chief's aunt was busy moving the iron pot down from the stove again, muttering, "Oh, you haven't cleaned this pot, I'll wash it." ”
After a period of busy work, the freshly washed iron pot was put back on the stove, and the firewood also lit each other, licking and kissing the black bottom of the pot.
Wu Cuimei took out a big bowl of ginger, and Liu Yuanhe carried a bucket of water.
Heat the water in a pot and add the ginger.
When the water boils, put the honeycomb that has dried the honey into the water and boil.
As the firewood grew stronger, the water in the pot gushed more and more, and after a while, a layer of golden wax oil floated on the surface of the water.
The village chief instructed, "Qingshan, bring a basin with some water and a spoon." ”
As soon as the basin and spoon arrived, the village chief took it upon himself to scoop out the wax and oil from the water and pour it into a basin filled with cold water.
The golden wax oil enters the basin and meets cold water, and it quickly condenses into shape.
As the village chief salvaged the pot, the sugar water in the pot slowly became clean, until finally only a small amount of wax and oil foam floated on it, and the village chief ordered, "Bring the bowl." ”
Liu Qingshan turned around and went to bring more than a dozen bowls.
A small table was placed on the edge of the campfire, and more than a dozen bowls were placed on it.
The village chief scooped out the ginger honey water from the pot one by one, and poured it into the bowl one by one.
White smoke curls and the aroma is abundant.
Although the courtyard is spacious and not sheltered from the wind, in this vast world, you can still smell an extremely rich sweet smell of honey.
Everyone held a bowl of sugar water in their hands, and before they could reach their mouths, they warmed their hands and fragrant their noses. After the warm honey water jumped over his lips, soaked his tongue, and slid into his throat, he only felt warm all over his body, as if a warm force poured from his head to the soles of his feet, and the whole person instantly became a lot lighter.
As soon as the body warmed up, everyone couldn't help but joke.
Among these dozen people, the most suitable one to joke about is Liu Qingshan.
An uncle said: "Qingshan, look at you, you look a little passable, you can make money, not to mention, even the honey in the deep mountains can be met for you, you say that you are so lucky, why didn't you meet the right girl?"
Hearing that someone opened his mouth first, the others hurriedly followed: "Yes, Qingshan, what's the matter with you, you're in your twenties, why don't you talk about anyone?"
"When I was your age, my son could cook. ”
"That's not it, there are several people in the village who are younger than Qingshan now, and the children are all in kindergarten. ”
"Some of them are in elementary school. ”
"Qingshan, do you have any difficulties? If you have any difficulties, you can tell us all, and we will help you find a way. ”
The word difficulty made everyone laugh.
If a man can't find a partner because of some 'difficulty', the first 'difficulty' is naturally that difficulty.
So, someone said: "Qingshan, this wild honey is a good thing, if you eat more, maybe you can be cured." Hahaha. ”
"Yes, yes, these wild honey are brewed from wildflowers in the mountains, and most of the wildflowers and weeds in the mountains are from herbs, so the older generation has always said that these wild honey can not only strengthen the body, but also cure diseases. ”
Liu Qingshan didn't take these jokes to heart, but Tan Dasha, who wanted to marry a daughter-in-law, was stunned to put these jokes in his heart.
So, he drank bowl after bowl of honey and drank more than ten bowls.
It's not that he has any 'difficulties', and, in fact, he doesn't know what the villagers' mean by 'difficulties', he just heard that he can marry a daughter-in-law by drinking more honey water, so he drank it.
Everyone patronized Liu Qingshan's joke, but they didn't notice Tan Dasha's movement, until the joke was almost over, everyone came back to their senses and found that the ginger syrup in their bowl was gone, so they went back to the pot to prepare to scoop the syrup, only then did they suddenly realize that there was a pile of scum left in the big iron pot.
And Tan Dasha, who was squatting next to the big iron pot and drinking sugar water, was completely unaware of everyone's squinting eyes, and was still drinking the last bowl of sugar water.
"Dasha, you said you, you can eat so much, which woman dares to follow you?"
After the joke is over Liu Qingshan, everyone wants to make fun of Tan Dasha again.
It was not until late at night, when the firewood was extinguished and the pot was cold, that everyone dispersed in twos and threes and went home.
Liu Qingshan stood under the light of the hall, looking at the honey that had already dripped two small pots, and the honeycomb without honey, but he was a little embarrassed.
These are all good things, and they can't all be eaten at home, they still have to be sold.
But where do you sell it? That's the question.
He'll have to think about it.
In Xinjie Town, the honey is estimated to be difficult to sell. It's not that the mountain people don't know the goods, but because the price he puts on the wild honey seems to be a little too high.
Three hundred yuan a pound of honey, it is estimated that the mountain people didn't bother to bargain after hearing it, so they turned around and left.
So, Xinjie Town won't think about it.
In that case, let's go straight to the prefecture and try it. Although the county is not a big city, there are still many rich people in this small county because of its vast land, sparsely populated land, rich minerals and developed transportation.
Of course, just because there are many rich people does not mean that the place is rich. Rich people are rich people, ordinary people are ordinary people, and they should not be confused.
Early in the morning, Liu Qingshan put the honey into a plastic bucket with a lid, made a wooden rack, fixed it on the tailstock of the motorcycle, and set off for the county seat.
Before leaving, his mother stopped him: "Qingshan, be careful, this honey is so expensive, don't fall it." ”
"Mom, early in the morning, can you say something nice. Liu Qingshan replied angrily, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed forward suddenly, almost missing the stream.
Fortunately, he reacted in time, otherwise, he would have really responded to his mother's crow's mouth.
