Chapter 352: The Bee Comes Home

The water in the cauldron kept boiling, and bundles of high-top greens were untied directly on the side of the pot, and they were thrown directly into the cauldron without washing or brushing.

After about two or three minutes, as soon as the leaves change color, the original white vegetable is slightly semi-transparent, and the dish is blanched. The person standing by the pot takes a big iron hook, bends an arc-shaped hook at the top of the long handle, and gently pokes the old vegetables in the pot with the hook, and then can easily scoop the whole vegetable out of the pot.

The vegetables were not directly put into the tank, but hung on the shelves that were temporarily supported by bamboo, waiting for the vegetables to no longer drip down, you can put the vegetables into the tank, circle by circle, waiting for the dishes to fill the entire tank, the last step is to press the cylinder stone, and then hide it for half a month to a month when the vegetables are quietly hidden in a corner of the home to ferment, if it becomes, it is a vat of good sauerkraut, if not, then this vat of vegetables will be rotten, feed the pigs and pigs do not eat.

Bian Rui is naturally not afraid of this, he has helped his mother since he was a child, so that Bian Rui knows the essentials of making sauerkraut, not to mention that his father and grandfather are on the side to help guide.

Yan Lan seemed to find it quite interesting to hook vegetables from the pot, and stood next to Bian Rui and said repeatedly: "It's my turn!

Bian Rui had no choice but to hand over the iron hook in his hand to Yan Lan again, and he and his father added vegetables to the pot together.

Who knew that standing next to my father for a while would make my father a little upset.

"You go into the yard and bring out the rest of the greens, I'll be alone here, don't make a mess on my side" Bian Rui's father said while concentrating on adding vegetables to the pot, the old man worked very carefully, waiting for the vegetables in the pot to be almost caught, and then adding the vegetables in his hand into the pot.

Bian Rui is willing to firewood, this guy is full of firewood with the thickness of his forearm, and he can't think of enough firepower to stack up layer by layer, let alone standing on the edge of the pot, even standing within two or three meters of the pot, he can feel the heat wave emitted from the bottom of the pot.

Wen Shizhang and Yosuke Terashima seem to be very happy to work, and they don't know if they are eating and drinking here in Bian Rui, and after eating and drinking for so many days, they feel that they can't get over without doing some work, and they don't want to stop and drink saliva when they are sweating profusely, as if they want to compete with others for the May Day Labor Medal.

Yan Lan persuaded her a few times, and then the two put down the hook, ran to the table on the side, picked up a glass of water and poured it, wiped her mouth after pouring it, and returned to the cauldron to continue working.

Bian Rui saw that a glass of about three or four hundred milliliters of water from Yosuke Terashima's neck entered his stomach, so he opened his mouth and said: "Slow down, slow down, don't choke, and we can be a little more delicate in this work, you work so hard that I look a little like Huang Shiren."

Yosuke Terashima looked stunned when he heard this, and opened his mouth to ask curiously, "Who is Huang Shiren?"

When Bian Rui heard him ask, he remembered that the Chinese in front of him was like a Chinese, in fact, he was not a Chinese but an authentic Japanese, and it was quite difficult to speak Chinese, and it seemed a little too difficult for him to understand Huang Shiren.

Just when Bian Rui wanted to explain, Wen Shizhang, who was working there, opened his mouth and said: "He is a very hateful landlord, landlord, you know it, he is a person who own......s a large piece of land, is very rich, but has a very bad heart."

Yosuke Terashima heard Wen Shizhang explain the landlord to himself, and said with a smile: "I can't figure it out now, whether we are from the Chinese cultural circle or you are from the Chinese cultural circle, I know the landlord, I just don't know Huang Shiren, you don't have to explain so carefully."

"If you don't explain it in detail, I'm afraid you won't understand" Wen Shizhang was a little proud, took the hook in his hand and waved it twice, and at the same time reached out and wiped the sweat on his head.

"......" Yosuke Terashima didn't know how to answer, so he silently picked up the hook in his hand and prepared to continue working.

Bian Rui was trying to see the excitement here, and suddenly heard his grandfather calling him.

"Come and take a hand, and put this dried vegetable into the house."

Hearing this, Bian Rui immediately trotted to his grandfather's side, took the bamboo basket in his hand and began to put the green vegetables that were no longer dripping on the shelf into the basket, and after filling half the basket, he stretched out his hands and came to a big bear hug and carried the basket into the cellar.

Bian Rui's grandfather was stacking vegetables in the cellar, a circle of yards, from the edge to the center, after the yard was completed, he handed the basket to Bian Rui, took the vegetables from the basket that Bian Rui brought and continued to stack.

Bian Rui has a new basket here, so he naturally has to go to pick up the food.

In this way, waiting for the sun to set, all the hundreds of catties of vegetables of Bian Rui's family were returned to the tank, and the large pressure cylinder stones were also in place, and the bowls of green vegetables began to slowly breed delicious with the magic of nature.

Yosuke Terashima and Wen Shizhang both worked, Bian Rui can't always send people back if he does his job well, there is no such thing, whether the Americans or the Japanese come to China, they have to abide by Chinese customs, anyway, Bian Rui thinks so, so it is the right thing to leave the two of them to eat.

In addition to the host and guest of the country dinner, there must also be a companion, who is the best escort in Bian Rui's house? Of course, it is Yan Lan's father, and the other is the old man Wu, if neither of them is there, it will be the turn of the others to take the top.

However, the luck of the other people today is not good, because both the old man Yan and the old man Wu are at home, and they are also busy for a day, and they heard Bian Rui calling for dinner, so the two happily rode a small electric car and came over.

"I was holding a bowl and preparing to eat, I didn't expect your call to come, I saw that this is not good, you Bian Rui has a treat, we can't help but come, I want to give you this face......" As soon as the old man Wu arrived at the door, he jumped out of the back seat of the electric car and entered the yard and said to Bian Rui with a smile.

Wen Shizhang and Old Man Wu are very familiar, although there is a little gap between the two in terms of age, but Old Man Wu is a stubborn old man, no matter how old he is, he is willing to intersect with his peers, so he is very popular in the village, and he is famous for being disrespectful.

The disrespect for the old here is not a derogatory word, but it means that the old man is open-minded and can talk to anyone, without a little shelf, so everyone jokingly uses this idiom to evaluate the old man.

So Wen Shizhang can directly make a joke about the old man.

"I'm afraid you're thinking about Bian Rui's craftsmanship, why didn't you bring some gifts or something, you can't come to dinner empty-handed. Mr. Yan, that's because he went to his son-in-law's house, and he is half a master, what's the matter with you?"

Old Man Wu smiled and stretched out his hand to tap Wen Shizhang, and at the same time turned his head and smiled at Old Man Yan: "If this person really doesn't look at his face, he will think that this is an authentic Chinese, you understand everything, and you will block me with gifts when you come up!"

Speaking of this, Old Man Wu said to Wen Shizhang: "You can be regarded as mistaken, I brought a gift." Bian Rui, bring out the jar of the wine I have in the cellar, don't use the best, the Wuliangye in the cellar is good."

Wen Shizhang didn't hold back and smiled directly: "Your big money is too imposing, and it doesn't need to be too good, so I'll try the five grains you have in your cellar today?"

Bian Rui heard Old Man Wu say this, so he turned his head to get the wine.

There were seven or eight people in total, so Bian Rui took two bottles of wine.

At this time, Bian Rui's dishes have been prepared almost, drinking a little wine at night did not put on much pomp, they are all home-cooked dishes, four cold and four hot, cold dishes are cucumbers, cold tomatoes, boiled peanuts and preserved eggs, four hot is braised fish, fresh carp just out of the lake at night, there are more than four catties, remove the fishy line and remove the scales, there is no earthy carp that is fresh and don't want it.

The remaining three and one fried eel fillet with green onion are considered hard dishes, and the other two are gourd river mussel roasted tofu, and autumn bamboo shoots hodgepodge or something is half hard and half soft.

When everyone was old, everyone sat down casually, and there was no division of the main and secondary seats, so everyone pulled a stool and sat next to the small table, and squatted under the old ginkgo tree to eat together.

After everyone drank two or three cups with their cups, they put down the cups and began to eat while pulling around.

"What are you busy with these days? I didn't see you calling me to go fishing," Wen Shizhang asked the two old men.

Old man Yan said: "Our family, like Xiaorui's family, is making sauerkraut."

"Dad, you don't have to do it, I've done so much, can you just wait for your second elder to come over and get it?" Bian Rui felt that he needed to remind his father-in-law that they had done it today.

Old man Yan said: "Yours belongs to yours, your mother is also thinking of learning some crafts from her mother-in-law, tomorrow our family will prepare pickles, and the snow mushrooms have been bought."

Yan Lan opened her mouth when she heard this and said, "Dad, we are not polite to you, we really prepared your share!"

"You can keep it for yourself and eat it slowly, if your friends think it tastes good, you can also send more, we don't need you to worry about it here," Old Man Yan said with a smile.

From moving to the village, the old couple felt that this day was getting more and more interesting, and now they started to start with pickles and slowly wanted to enter the role of rural life more harmoniously, in short, they followed what the villagers did, and experienced the fun of the countryside.

As he was talking, Wen Shidao suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Bian Rui, why do you have so many bees in your family?"

Bian Rui looked up and found that there was a small black shadow in the sky above the yard, and if you looked closely, it was not a bee, it was not an ordinary bee, but a group of bees that Bian Rui raised in the space, and the number was not much, that is, dozens of hundreds or so large.

"Where did the bees come from?" Bian Rui's grandfather asked curiously.

Bian Rui's father said, "Da Rui, this is a bit like the bees we picked two days ago?"

"Don't you think this bee honey is delicious, I wondered if I could raise one, so I made a beehive, why don't the beehives live, what do you do in the yard?"

Bian Rui also felt very curious, wasn't it good the first two days, working during the day to make honey and staying honestly in the wooden beehive at night, why did they all fly back to the yard today?

"If you can raise this bee, then we have all lived in vain all these years" Bian Rui's father was a little dismissive of his son's thoughts.

Bian Rui's grandfather said: "Let the child toss and let him toss, and if he can't toss, it's a lesson!"

"I'm pretty good at raising this," Bian Rui was a little puzzled.

Bian Rui's grandfather said: "If this can be cultivated, then you have done a big thing, I don't know how many seniors want to raise this thing, but at most two seasons, this bee will not work, either a large piece of death or no way to collect honey, otherwise you can wait until you?

Originally, Bian Rui was also full of confidence, because the bees were used to the box, but today he saw that the bees flew back to his yard, so he felt that he had no bottom.

"I just want to try it, if you raise it well, you can raise it, and if you don't raise it well, there is no loss" Bian Rui scratched his head and said with a smile.

Bian Rui's grandfather looked at the bees in the air and said: "Now this little thing is getting more and more rare every year, and the bees from abroad have squeezed the native bees here here and have no place, alas, everyone used to be able to cut the honey of this bee often, but now it is a rare sight to see it once."

Bian Rui knows that many beekeepers are now raising foreign bees, that is, good varieties of bees cultivated abroad, and domestic native bees are not too popular.
