"yes. Liu Qingshan nodded solemnly, looked at his mother and said, "Mom, we have to have a bowl of water, we can't just give it to my uncle, if you want to give it to my uncle, then others will definitely give it too." If there are two catties per person, according to the head just calculated, it is indeed necessary to give away ten catties of honey for nothing. ”

Liu Yuanhe listened to it happily, and hurriedly interjected and asked: "Qingshan, if these ten catties of honey are sold, how much can they be sold?"

"Hmm. Liu Qingshan thought for a while, "Ordinary soil honey costs almost two hundred yuan a catty, like this pure deep mountain wild honey, how can it cost three hundred yuan a catty, ten catties, it is three thousand yuan." ”

Three thousand yuan? Wu Cuimei's eyes widened. Obediently, this, this giveaway, you have to give away 3,000 yuan?

She was distressed: "Hey, this, this is too much money, 3,000 yuan, your father may not be able to save 3,000 yuan for a whole year in the village." This, oops, forget it, don't give it to anyone. ”

"Mom, it's okay. Liu Qingshan said with relief, "As long as you are happy, let alone give ten catties, even if you give away all this honey for nothing, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal, I won't save money, I won't marry a daughter-in-law, anyway, it's good to be a single, I don't have a wife to care, and I don't have to raise children, how free." ”

"What are you talking about?" Wu Cuimei shook off her son's hand, "Who said they wanted to give it? Don't send it, you can't give away one or two of these honeys, you must keep it and sell it." ”

Seeing that the contrast between his mother and his mother was so great, Liu Qingshan couldn't cry or laugh, and reluctantly said: "Oh, since that's the case, then I'll listen to you, no matter what you say, I'll listen to you." ”

Although after being bullied by the bees, there were many pains and swelling on the body, but after teasing my mother, I immediately felt comfortable physically and mentally.

Wu Cuimei was busy with housework, and Liu Yuanhe followed her son to squeeze out the honey.

The taking of wild honey is different from that of artificial honey.

Most of the honey farmed is obtained by 'shaking honey'. And these beekeepers are called beekeepers. Beekeepers raise honey, which is different from mountain farmers who collect honey part-time in the mountains. Honey is the main source of income for beekeepers, so it is important to use high technology to get the most honey in order to secure income.

Therefore, the 'honey shaker' came into being.

The honey shaker is a hand-cranked machine, which is very simple to operate, that is, to take out two pieces of the same square honeycomb from the boxy beehive, and then put it into the honey shaker, shake it a few times, and the honey will be out of the honeycomb.

This method allows honey to be taken without destroying the honeycomb, so after shaking the honey out, the honeycomb must be put back into the hive for the bees to continue collecting honey and hoarding honey.

This honey can be collected multiple times a year, and although the yield is high, the efficacy is much lower than that of native honey and wild honey. However, you get what you pay for, and people sell it cheaply, only a few dozen yuan a catty, and its value is lower, which is understandable.

You can't spend dozens of dollars to buy a pound of honey back, but you want to get the nutrition and efficacy of wild honey worth hundreds of yuan a pound.

Artificial honey is easy to take, but soil honey and wild honey are relatively difficult to take.

The difference between soil honey and artificial honey is that the bees of earth honey are wild and not artificially fed. The sealing boxes of soil honey are mostly made by digging out the heart of wood.

Find a large piece of wood, hollow out the heart of the tree, and form a beehive. After applying beeswax from previous years, the hives are placed in the wild, and wild bees will come to make their home.

The bees settle down and don't care about it, anyway, the beehives are released, and they are occasionally free, just take a look, and they will never participate in the honey collection of the bees, let alone feed them sugar or anything. As a result, the yield of native honey is very low and can only be taken once a year, and most of them are taken around the winter solstice.

The method of taking soil honey is mainly 'cutting'.

After cutting the honey, take it home, and take the honey in a 'drop' way.

That is, put the honey cube on the bamboo sieve, put it in a container below, and let it drip on its own.

The nutritional value and taste of native honey are much higher than that of artificial honey, and the yield is low, so the price is much higher.

Pure wild honey from the mountains is even more expensive.

This is also the reason why Liu Qingshan can confidently think that his honey can be sold for 300 yuan a catty.

Wild honey is taken in the same way as local honey, which is mainly drop-based.

Sometimes, however, in order to speed up the dripping of honey, it is necessary to destroy the honeycomb with chopsticks, so that the honey that was originally attached to it flows out quickly and drips into the container.

As the so-called father and son are concentric, their profits are golden.

Although Liu Yuanhe was an unreliable person, with him by his side, Liu Qingshan quickly found the tools and put all the honey pieces on the bamboo sieve.

During the meal, Liu Yuanhe asked, "Qingshan, I saw you say in the group, let everyone drink honey water." ”

"yes. Liu Qingshan nodded, "Don't worry, I said it, you can only drink honey water, and honey will never be given." ”

"Are they really coming?" Wu Cuimei was inexplicably looking forward to it. I don't know what the villagers' expressions will be when they see her son come back with so much honey at once.

Oh, when she thought that some women always liked to speak ill of her son, saying that her son was stupid, that her son was stupid, that her son was not serious or something, she couldn't help but snort coldly in her heart: Look at it, my son is much better than some people's sons.

However, she was also a little worried: "Qingshan, why are you so stupid? Why do you have to tell the villagers that you have found wild honey? In this way, it is estimated that many people will have to go into the mountains tomorrow to look for honey." ”

"Haha, Mom, you're thinking too much. Liu Qingshan said, "This is not yam and bamboo shoots, it is not something that can be found if you want to find it, and it is ......."

In addition, there is basically no wild honey around the village, so if you want to find it, you have to go deep into the mountains.

And according to the footsteps of ordinary people, it is impossible to find wild honey and travel back and forth to the mountains in one day.

Unless overnight in the mountains.

However, so far, no one in the village has dared to spend the night in the mountains.

Liu Qingshan said with a smile: "Moreover, this honey is not something that can be found if you want to find it, if people really have such good luck to find it, it can only mean that it is something that is destined for others, even if I don't say it, people will encounter it sooner or later." ”

Hearing her son say so relieved, Wu Cuimei had nothing to worry about.

Since it is a predestined thing, it is naturally impossible for others to control it.
