Chapter 161 Honey (4/4 Subscription)

"Yo, old man, Grandma Liu, are you here too?" Zhang Feng met the two elders as soon as he walked out of the backyard.

"Yes, I heard that your family has a big pumpkin of seven or eight hundred catties, so come and have a look......" The old man said with a smile.

"There were so many people just now that I couldn't squeeze in. Grandma Liu said with a smile.

"Hehe, let's just come and see the fun, but the pumpkin is not that big, only three or four hundred catties. Zhang Feng smiled and led the two elders to the backyard. "You see the big pumpkin is here. ”

Zhang Feng just checked on the Internet, the world's largest pumpkin has more than 1,900 catties.

It was bred on a Swiss farm and exhibited at an agricultural fair held in a small town in eastern Switzerland.

The world's largest pumpkin weighs 953.5 kilograms, and it has to be transported in a small truck, and it weighs almost as much as a small car.

It also broke the Guinness World Record for the heaviest pumpkin in the world, which was previously won by a couple from the United States.

Weighing nearly a ton, the Swiss farmer easily beat all competitors and won the Guinness World Records for the world's largest pumpkin.

Compared with the world's largest pumpkin, Zhang Feng is simply a pocket-sized pumpkin, but such a large pumpkin is rare in the local area, because the Chinese people do not have the hobby and habit of cultivating giant pumpkins, and it is very rare to have three or four hundred catties of large pumpkins.

"Xiaofeng, this pumpkin in your house should be a local variety, right?" The old man still knows a lot about pumpkins, and at a glance, he knows that this is just an ordinary local variety, but it is really shocking and incomprehensible to be able to grow such a big fruit.

"That's right, old man, this is an ordinary local breed, it is estimated that it has mutated!" Zhang Feng nodded.

"Haha, I'll just say, you kid is so lazy and doesn't take care of it, how can you grow such a big pumpkin. The old man smiled and said to Zhang Feng.

Hearing the old man's words, Zhang Feng was suddenly embarrassed, a little crying and laughing, although he was a little lazy, but why couldn't he grow a big pumpkin? Besides, isn't this one planted by himself? Although the effect of Rihua Auxin is still a little lucky, but it is also his own planting, in the old man's opinion, he is lucky, this is the only time to meet such a big pumpkin.

"Xiaofeng, you can cut honey in this box of bees, it's been more than half a month. At this moment, Grandma Liu walked to the beehive and observed for a while, and said to Zhang Feng.

"So fast?" Zhang Feng has never raised bees, so he has no experience, and as soon as the honeycomb is put there, Zhang Feng has never managed it, if it weren't for Grandma Liu's reminder, Zhang Feng wouldn't have remembered it.

"What's the matter, it's summer, it's the time for the flowers to bloom, the nectar source is abundant, and the bees are producing honey faster!" Grandma Liu explained with a smile.

"Cutting honey, I haven't done this yet?" Zhang Feng said with some embarrassment.

"No, how did you get your wild nectar last time?" asked Grandma Liu in surprise.

"Last time, ......" Zhang Feng then briefly explained the processing process last time.

"I see, it is true that the method of harvesting honey in the wild and domesticated is not the same. After listening to Zhang Feng's description, Grandma Liu nodded, because the wild beehive is irregular, and the domestic bee hive is one by one, which can be extracted separately, and then put into the honey shaker for honey, shake the handle and stir the hive will make a circular motion, and the honey on it will fly out and be transferred into the honey shaker because of centrifugal force.

"Hehe, it's okay, I will cut honey, and I'll help you make a tool for taking honey later, so that you can learn it as soon as you learn it." The old man smiled, he had kept bees at home when he was young, so he could not be more familiar with such a job as cutting honey and extracting honey.

Then the old man took out a beehive to observe, measured the size with a thin thread, and then came to the utility room, took out various tools and prepared to make a honey shaker.

"Xiaofeng, you go find a clean bucket, the thick-walled kind, it's too thin and easy to break. The old man asked Zhang Feng to give him a hand.

"Got it, old man, wait a minute!" There are such buckets in every rural household, and Zhang Feng quickly found one and put it in front of the old man.

"Look at it, the honey shaker we are going to make is like this......" Then the old man explained to Zhang Feng the principle and production method of the honey shaker, Zhang Feng couldn't help nodding, and found that it was indeed not difficult to make this thing, but he had not actually done it, and he didn't dare to say that he would be able to do it successfully.

The old man is really a good skill, but most of the time in half an hour, he made a simple honey shaker, although it looks very simple, but only these tools in the family, it is good to be able to make it like this.

"Haha, it's finally done, Xiao Feng hurry up and get a fan of honey to try!" the old man stood up happily and said to Zhang Feng.

At this time, everyone also stood on the side, wanting to see how the old man was going to get honey, but everyone had never seen it, and they were curious.

Soon Zhang Feng took a fan of honey from the beehive, and the old man fixed it in the honey shaker, and then shook the handle with his hand, and the honeycomb moved with it, and the honey flew out and hit the wall of the barrel, and then slowly gathered at the bottom of the barrel.

After shaking it repeatedly for a few minutes, all the honey in the hive flew out and gathered in the bucket, and all the honey in the hive was taken out.

Finally, the empty hive is taken out, and all the honey is left in the bucket - that is, in the honey shaker, as long as the empty hive is put back into the hive, and the honey can be taken again in a week or two.

"Well, this honey is delicious, everyone come and taste it, it tastes really good!" The old man dipped a little of his finger and put it in his mouth, and his mouth was immediately full of fragrance, not as sweet and greasy as ordinary honey.

"Well, this honey is really good. Grandma Liu tasted a little, her eyes lit up, and she was full of praise, feeling that even if she had eaten the nectar before, it was far from it, this nectar was full of fragrance, and it made the whole body lazy when she ate it in her mouth, just like eating fairy wine, which made people feel shocked.

Zhang Yue, the girl, couldn't wait for a long time, ran into the house as soon as she slipped a cigarette, and quickly took out a few chopsticks to distribute to everyone, but she herself took a small spoon, scooped it and slowly poured it into her mouth.

"Hehe, this greedy little girl!" Seeing Zhang Yue's gluttony, Grandma Liu couldn't help laughing.

"Xiaofeng, you go find your two clean bottles and fill the honey in the honey shaker. The old man also smiled, and then instructed Zhang Feng.

"Got it, old man!" Zhang Feng has prepared a lot of such small bottles at home, which used to be used to hold bad chili peppers or tofu or something, but now it finally comes in handy again.

Originally, Zhang Feng thought that there were not much, and finally filled two small bottles, estimated to be about three or four catties; the honey at home is not a simple thing, because the wildflowers in the yard have been watered by Rihua auxin, so this honey tastes so good,

Zhang Feng speculated that it also had great benefits for the human body, so Zhang Feng sent a bottle to Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu. The two old men were also very happy, and they obviously liked Zhang Feng's honey very much.

"Grandpa Liu, Grandma Liu, it's almost time now, let's have a meal together, don't go back. "The eldest sister stayed.

"Hehe, okay, it's better to eat together with more people. The old man smiled and agreed, and seeing this, Grandma Liu also stayed.
