Chapter 33: Making Honey
It wasn't until it was almost dark that Chen Baoli and the others returned to the village, saying that they would climb the mountain, but the harvest at hand was not small.
Not only Chen Baoli, the three of them had a great time, Li Quan was as elated as Ye Tiansheng.
The two found a lot of mountain goods on the mountain and sold them to Chen Baoli. Today, in addition to the 100 yuan guide fee for leading the way, the two of them also earned more than 300 yuan to find mountain goods.
What wild vegetables, shiitake mushrooms, fungus, etc., and even a honeycomb with honey still there.
For this reason, Li Quan and Ye Tiansheng were stung by bees several times. Fortunately, this bee venom is not very strong, it is just swollen, and according to previous experience, it can subside in a day or two.
Earning 400 yuan a day, they were stung a few times, and they didn't feel at ease.
Chen Baoli: The three of them also feel that they have made a lot of money. Not to mention things like shiitake mushrooms and wild vegetables, just natural honey, it is quite difficult to meet the authentic ones with money.
Outside, a casual jar of low-quality honey with sugar costs a hundred or dozens of yuan!
A few people went into the mountain, but they didn't bring any food, so Li Quan carried a pot and a few bowls. At noon, they were on the mountain looking for ingredients to eat.
The pheasants caught two or three roasted and ate them, and Chen Baoli and the others felt very happy. In addition, I took a lot of photos.
Back at Zhang Fan's house, Chen Baoli and the three of them found that their legs were sore. Almost all day long, they are walking, and it's no wonder that they don't do sore, especially if they don't usually exercise much. It's good to be able to keep going home.
The aunt took advantage of the darkness and quickly put away the drying Tian Qi. The countryside is prone to dew at night, and things to dry cannot be left outside overnight.
If you're unlucky enough to get a wasp, you'll shed your skin if you don't die. Zhang Fan saw that Li Quan's eyes were swollen, which was a bit funny.
The wasp is also called a wasp in their place, and its nest is usually built underneath and is a very aggressive bee species.
After being stung, it can even be life-threatening in serious cases. Even if you don't die, it's definitely painful! There used to be a very tough guy in the village, who was stung a few times and howled in pain for a whole day.
"I just saw that it wasn't a wasp, so I stabbed it. Chen Baoli said with a smile.
Honey is basically a yellowish-white viscous liquid collected by bees and naturally fermented. Honey is known as nature's most perfect nutritious food, and the ancient Greeks regarded honey as a gift from heaven. Since ancient times, China has been artificially beekeeping and collecting honey, honey is not only a good medicine, but also a high-quality drink, which can prolong life. It can also be used in beauty supplements.
How can they let go of such good nutritional products? They don't need it, and their daughter-in-law must like it!
Honeycomb honey cannot be used directly, and there is a lot of dregs, which needs to be further processed and processed. This kind of work is not difficult for the aunt.
Separating honey, and separating heart honey or pressing honey, is to take out the honey card in the honeycomb, put it in the honey shaker, shake it out by centrifugal force, and filter the honey, or use the method of squeezing the honey to separate the honey card and filter the honey.
The method used by the aunt is the latter, which is only three steps: pressing, filtering, and canning.
People who don't know how to do it may do something to boil honey, which is called disinfection and sterilization. In fact, it is not scientific, and high temperatures will damage the nutritional value of honey.
Secondly, honey itself has a disinfectant and antiseptic effect, and there is no need for high-temperature sterilization.
If you really love hygiene, you can put the honey in a clean and high-temperature basin and stew it over water, and don't put it directly into the pot to boil.
In the end, Chen Baoli and they couldn't get a bottle each, and they spent so much money, and Uncle Zhang Liye didn't know what they were happy about.
If they really understood how honey is produced, they probably wouldn't be able to eat it.
As far as Zhang Fan knows, after returning to the nest, the collection bees will spit out the honey to the internal bees, or disperse them into several nests, and the internal bees will continue to process them. In the process of processing, the bees first suck the honey into their stomach and mix it with invertase, then spit it out, and then suck it in, so that the honey that everyone sees is formed.
To put it simply, it's bee vomit.
"Sister-in-law's craftsmanship is good. Chen Baoli grabbed a bottle of slightly more and slapped a sycophant.
Dinner is the rabbit meat sent by the fox, rabbit meat is high protein, low fat, low cholesterol meat, rabbit meat protein is higher than ordinary meat, and fat and cholesterol content is lower than all meat, so it has a "meat in the vegetarian" saying.
Its meat texture is delicate, delicious, nutritious, compared with other meats, it has a high digestibility, and it is easy to be digested and absorbed after eating, which is not found in other meats, therefore, rabbit meat is very popular with consumers.
They exercised a lot and consumed a lot today, so they also ate a lot at night, and they ate twice as much white rice alone as usual, which surprised even them.
Eating well and sleeping soundly!Or also very tired, the three of them fell asleep at ten o'clock or so.
When they woke up, they were refreshed, and for the next three days, the three of them spent the next three days in the mountains and waters, and they couldn't think about it. It wasn't until Zhou Yuhang received a phone call that he decided to leave.
After three or four days of exposure, Tian Qi had dried and weighed it, and there were more than 130 catties. According to the price set before, a total of 65,000 yuan.
When they really got the money, they couldn't help but be happy. After the nephew returned, he made two windfalls in a row.
"Thank you Brother Zhang, aunt for your hospitality in the past few days, if you are free another day, we may still come to nag, you are all fine except for transportation and shopping. "Wang Feihong is not polite, he will really bring his family over to live for a while when he has time.
The past few days have not been long, but he clearly feels that his body has become healthy.
"What kind of nagging is not nagging? Come and play when you have time, that is, make multiple beds and add a pair of chopsticks. Zhang Liye helped to carry the mountain goods onto the car.
Those Tian Qi asked the village tractor to help pull it to the town.
After Chen Baoli and the others left, Zhang Fan began to divide the money. He took 20,000 yuan himself, and Li Quan and Ye Tiansheng each had 15,000, which was 5,000 more than what he said before.
The remaining 15,000 will be donated to the village to repair roads.
Li Quan and Ye Tiansheng still felt that they had taken too much, and it was beyond their imagination to be able to get 10,000. Fifteen thousand, it's really not safe to take it, and they didn't do anything!
Zhang Fan didn't care, he couldn't let the people who followed him suffer, right? Besides, with the magic purification bottle, so if he didn't take a little money to heart, why not give more money to his own people?
"Take it back! I will donate the remaining 15,000 to the village in the name of the three of us to build roads. ”
"Brother Fan, it's good for you to call the shots, we have no opinion. ”
"Yes!"
