Afternoon

Because the guests are leaving

Zhang Feng made dinner early

After eating, the cute little girl Jiajia still reluctantly left with her parents, and Zhang Lin's two classmates, Li Wei and Xiao Xue, also said goodbye and left.

and old classmate Liu Yiyi also hurried back to deal with his business, as for the two old men who continued to stay at Zhang Feng's house, they planned to stay here for a few more days.

Zhang Feng personally sent everyone to the entrance of the village, because Liu Yiyi and Yang Guang both drove their own cars, so Zhang Lin's two classmates got into Liu Yiyi's car and drove towards the county seat together, standing under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, watching the two cars leave, Zhang Feng turned around and returned home.

Time flies

In the blink of an eye, it was noon the next day,

At this time, the weather was really hot and unbearable, and Zhang Feng, who was lying in the yard, suddenly had a whim and was ready to make crystal jelly to relieve everyone's heat.

So Zhang Feng went to the nearby mountains to pick false sour pulp, an herbaceous plant native to Peru that is now found in many parts of the southwest.

Fake sour pulp is the main material for making crystal jelly, to be precise, its seeds (ice seeds) can be made into crystal jelly, this plant is available in the nearby mountains, so Zhang Feng took a bag and went to the nearby mountains to pick the fruit of the fake sour pulp.

"What are you doing, madman?" A group of hairy children in the village also ran over curiously when they saw Zhang Feng and asked.

"Hey, it's you, Da Mao, I'm picking the fruit of crystal jelly. "Fake sour pulp is used to being called crystal jelly in the local area, and you have to say that these children may not know about fake sour pulp.

"Oh, Brother Madman, are you going to make crystal powder, how about we help you pick it?" When the little guys heard that Brother Crazy was going to make crystal powder, they immediately swallowed their saliva, thinking about how refreshing it was to eat crystal powder on such a hot day.

"Okay, you help me pick it, and I'll invite you to eat crystal jelly when the time comes. Of course, Zhang Feng knew the plans of these greedy cats, and said to them with a smile.

"Yay!" "Brother Madman, you're so good!" The five or six leather monkeys suddenly cheered happily, and everyone was excited at the thought of the cool crystal powder.

With the help of these leather monkeys, in about half an hour, Zhang Feng's big bag was full, Zhang Feng estimated it, and felt that it was enough, so he stopped the enthusiastic leather monkeys and took everyone home.

…………

"Brother, do you want to make crystal jelly?" Seeing Zhang Feng coming back with a big bag of fake sour pulp, Zhang Lin was overjoyed, it was really a pleasure to be able to eat cold crystal jelly on such a hot day.

"That's right, Zhang Lin brought me the vegetable pot. ”

"Got it, brother!"

Zhang Lin immediately went into the kitchen, Zhang Feng was not idle, but went into the house to find a piece of gauze, and then went to the utility room to get some quicklime, ready to make clarified lime water, because these things are indispensable for making crystal powder.

After preparing these things, Zhang Feng mobilized the group of skin monkeys to help peel off the fruit of the fake sour berry and take out its seeds, that is, ice seeds, because this is what is used to make crystal jelly.

This process is more troublesome and the workload is the largest, Zhang Feng is very fortunate to have called such a group of bear children, otherwise two or three people don't know how long it will take.

Because they wanted to eat crystal jelly, the bear children worked very hard, and after half an hour of hard work, they finally got all the ice seeds.

However, at this time, Zhang Feng's clarified lime water was also ready, and Zhang Feng poured the clarified lime water into a clean large bowl, which he would use later when making cold powder.

"Alright, it's finally time to get started. Zhang Feng clapped his hands, called out the monkeys, and prepared to start making crystal powder.

The method of making crystal jelly is not difficult, first put the ice seeds into a cloth bag made of gauze, and then tie the mouth of the gauze well. Place the gauze bag wrapped in ice seeds into a basin of water.

Then, like washing clothes, rub repeatedly to make a large amount of viscous liquid flow into the water, until no mucus is released or a large amount of foam is formed.

Then slowly pour the clarified lime water into the basin of water just now, stirring clockwise with your other hand while pouring until you can clearly feel the ice powder begin to solidify and thicken, and then stop pouring it.

"How long is it going to be stirred, madman!" the little ones asked eagerly, as if they couldn't wait.

"Hehe, it'll be fine right away. Zhang Feng already felt that the crystal jelly in the water was about to take shape. Then Zhang Feng put the crystal jelly in the refrigerator and froze it.

"Brother Crazy, why did you put it in the refrigerator?" The little ones were suddenly anxious, thinking that Zhang Feng didn't plan to give them food, so they hid in the refrigerator.

"Hehe, if you don't put it in the refrigerator, how can the crystal jelly be cold?" Zhang Feng said with a smile.

"Oh!" the little ones waited patiently when they heard Zhang Feng say this. About twenty minutes later, Zhang Feng opened the refrigerator and saw that the crystal jelly in the basin had been completely formed.

Zhang Feng carried the crystal jelly out, Zhang Lin had already prepared a small bowl and spoon, the little guy couldn't wait, and took the guy around the basin containing the crystal jelly, swallowing his saliva silently.

Scoop out the crystal jelly, add brown sugar, sesame seeds, peanuts, honey, etc., a bowl of natural crystal jelly is ready, which is not the stuff that is made with chemicals on the market.

"Brother Crazy, Da Mao was almost stung by a bee today!" After eating the crystal powder, Xiao Shi said like Zhang Feng.

"Why did Da Mao provoke bees?" Zhang Feng knew that bees generally do not take the initiative to attack humans, and only when they are frightened will they have an attack reaction.

"It's not all your fault, if you hadn't pushed me, would I have almost hit the honeycomb?" As soon as he heard Xiao Shi say this, the honest Da Mao was also anxious, and said angrily.

"I was careless...... Little Stone muttered quietly.

"What, Da Mao, where did you find the bees?" Zhang Feng's eyes lit up when he heard that there was a honeycomb, wild honey is a good thing, and it can't be bought in the market at all.

"It's in the back mountain where we often pick wild mountain bubbles. Hearing Da Mao say this, Zhang Feng secretly remembered the location and planned to take a look for himself later.

However, Zhang Feng was silent, picking wild honey is a more dangerous thing, Zhang Feng didn't dare to let these bear children know, let alone take them, if there was a problem with being stung by a bee, it would be a big trouble, so Zhang Feng was ready to go quietly when there was no one.

After sending away this group of leather monkeys, Zhang Feng immediately began to prepare, at first Zhang Feng just wanted to get some wild honey, and then Zhang Feng thought to himself, simply move the hive to his backyard, so that the family can often eat authentic honey.

So Zhang Feng hurried out a beehive, brought a full set of equipment to burn a hornet's nest, and quietly entered the mountain. When he came to the back mountain, Zhang Feng really found a wild honeycomb in the place that Da Mao said.

The wild honeycomb is not big, about the size of a basketball, and the golden honey inside exudes a rich aroma, seeing such tempting honey, Zhang Feng has a smile on his face.

Then he put on his equipment, fully armed, and carefully transferred the hive directly to the hive, feeling the hive vibrate, and the bees inside buzzed out, frantically trying to attack Zhang Feng, but unfortunately Zhang Feng was covered all over, and the bees had no way to start.

After covering the beehive, after waiting for about ten minutes, the manic bees finally calmed down, and then Zhang Feng walked home with a box of bees.

Fortunately, it was noon at this time, the heat wave in the air was rolling, and there was no one on the road, Zhang Feng smoothly transferred the bees to the house, and finally Zhang Feng put the bees in the corner of the backyard, which is usually inaccessible and very suitable for raising bees.

The bees moved back to their homes at that time, but unfortunately it was not so simple to get honey, in order not to affect the growth of honey, Zhang Feng only went to the largest hive.

Put the honey into the basket with a clean vegetable basin underneath, then slowly crush the beehive, and then wait quietly for the honey to leak into the vegetable bowl.

But at this time, the honey was still mixed with a lot of broken beehives, which could not be eaten directly, and needed to be filtered again with fine gauze, so that the impurities in the honey could be filtered out.
