Chapter Ninety-Seven: Bees

Although Uncle Chen said that he didn't want Luo Tong's food expenses, Luo Tong didn't have a big face to really eat and drink for nothing, so almost every day when Luo Tong went to Qingshui Village again, he had to buy some food and bring it over.

Anyway, there are vegetables in the countryside, and Luo Tong only picks meat vegetables every time he buys them, and pork, beef, mutton, fish and the like are not the same every day. Grandma Chen said a few times, but Luo Tong still went his own way.

In Luo Tong's words, Uncle Chen has already let her eat and drink for nothing, and she can't help herself if she goes on like this, anyway, everyone eats together, so she should improve the food. Today, Luo Tong bought local pork, and Grandma Chen's cooking is not as delicate as Sheng Qiwu and Luo's mother, but Luo Tong feels fragrant when he eats it.

At noon, there was a big pot of braised pork on the table, and the braised pork made by Grandma Chen was a must-have in Qingshui Village. Luo Tong loves to eat very much, no, when she sees braised pork, her saliva is going to come down.

The braised pork is so fragrant, Luo Tong was stunned and ate half a bowl of rice more than usual. After eating and drinking, Luo Tong was lying on the sofa at Uncle Chen's house, touching his little belly and humming.

Grandma Chen asked, "Xiao Luo, I see you were worried just now, what's the matter?"

Luo Tong sighed, "Grandma Chen, I'm worried, didn't I plant wolfberries? The wolfberries are blooming, I want to raise some bees, but I don't know where to sell bees?"

Grandma Chen smiled when she heard this: "It turns out that this is the case, there is a beekeeper in our village, it is the sixth uncle." The sixth uncle has been raising bees for decades, and whoever wants to buy honey in the village is looking for the sixth uncle, which is a serious local honey. ”

Sixth Uncle? Luo Tong was puzzled, in her impression, it seemed that she had never seen this person. She often comes to Qingshui Village, and she can almost call the people in the village by name, but she really doesn't have any impression of the sixth uncle.

Seeing the blankness on Luo Tong's face, Grandma Chen was amused, "Luo girl, how long have you been in the village?" Of course you don't know many people in the village, the sixth uncle likes to be quiet and rarely goes to lively places, and it's normal that you haven't seen him." ”

Luo Tong suddenly realized, she came to Grandma Chen, who was washing dishes, "Grandma Chen, can you take me to Uncle Six's house? I want to buy some bees and put them in the orchard." ”

Grandma Chen wiped her hands clean and said with a smile: "What's this? Just a few steps, I'll take you there now." ”

Luo Tong was overjoyed, and the two went out together to walk towards the sixth uncle's house, and Luo Xiaocheng, who had not finished eating, lazily fell behind. It ate too much at noon and felt bad for the whole cat. As for the black back, he had already gone to the flower garden with Uncle Chen to inspect as soon as he finished eating.

The sixth uncle's house is at the very edge of the village, and it is good to keep bees at home. Grandma Chen's house was quite far away from the sixth uncle's house, and it took more than ten minutes to arrive. Along the way, Luo Tong paid attention, but there were few bees on the side of the road.

Looking at the big tiled house hidden among the trees, Luo Tong didn't see any difference, but the courtyard gate was not as open as the people in the village. "Is Uncle Sixth at home?" Grandma Chen stood outside the door and called a few times. It took about two minutes for an old man to come over and open the courtyard door.

"The third family, why did you come here today. I just cut the peach nectar, come in and taste it, yo and Xiao Luo, come together. The gray-haired, smiling, kind-hearted old man couldn't help but pull the two into the backyard.

When it comes to peach nectar, Luo Tong's eyes shine, peach nectar can dredge the meridians, dilate the peripheral capillaries, improve blood circulation, promote skin nutrition and oxygen supply, and moisturize the skin.

In addition, it can also prevent the chronic deposition of melanin in the skin, and effectively remove melasma, freckles, dark spots and so on the body surface that hinder beauty. It can be said that peach nectar is a good beauty product, especially the peach nectar made by this pure earth bee.

With anticipation, Luo Tong and Grandma Chen walked into the backyard. As soon as he entered the backyard, Luo Tong saw a dense crowd of bees rushing in and out, and if people with dense phobia saw this scene, they would have goosebumps all over their bodies.

Although Grandma Chen called the old man the sixth uncle, Luo Tong saw that he was so old, and the sixth uncle himself really couldn't call him, so he directly called him the sixth grandfather.

The place where the sixth grandfather harvested honey was not covered, and he harvested honey between boxes of beehives. A wooden barrel was filled with a thick, golden liquid, and some of it formed golden lumps that looked like honey.

There are still a lot of bees crawling by the barrel, but Luo Tong is not sure if it is not, and the honey sold in the supermarket is not like this, it is all packed in small bottles.

The sixth grandfather scooped up a spoonful in the bucket with a spoon and handed it to Luo Tong. Luo Tong hurriedly took it with both hands and thanked him. This time I was sure that it was honey, and when I took it, I smelled the faint fragrance of peach blossoms. Smelling this fragrance, Luo Tong felt good, and tasted a mouthful of sweet fragrance, the taste was really indescribably wonderful.

Luo Tong's heart was full of joy, and he couldn't help nodding at the sixth grandfather to indicate that it was delicious. She is a clumsy tongue, she is not very good at speaking good and obedient, she can only say that it is delicious, and Grandma Chen kept nodding her head and saying yes when she tasted it.

Seeing them nodding and smiling, the smile on the sixth grandfather's face became even bigger: "This is thanks to the orchard of the Xiao You family, if there is such a good source of honey, how can such a good honey be brewed!"

"Sixth Grandpa, since this peach blossom can produce honey, why don't you put the beehive in the orchard, and save the time of bees flying around. Luo Tong suggested that she was not a stingy person, and she was happy to help others.

And if there are bees coming to collect honey, she can also learn some experience from the sixth grandfather in the future, and rub some other honey by the way, which is a sure profit.

"What's so embarrassing?" the sixth grandfather rubbed his hands, excited and embarrassed, but the joy on his face couldn't be stopped. If he could really put the beehives in the orchard, he would save a lot of things in the future.

"What's so embarrassing about this, the flowers in the orchard are blooming over there, and it's a waste not to pick them, isn't it?" Luo Tong comforted him and turned to business, "Sixth grandfather, I came to give you two boxes of honey." The wolfberries in the orchard are blooming, and I want to put two boxes of bees on the side of the wolfberry seedlings. ”

Luo Tong put down the spoon in his hand and explained his intention, and when the sixth grandfather heard it, he readily agreed, and instead gave Luo Tong two boxes of earth bees to come out. According to him, his family has been keeping bees for decades, and although this native bee produces less honey, it is purer.

Luo Tong squatted beside the sixth grandfather to see how he divided the bees, and by the way, he stole the teacher, so that the bee colony would grow and develop in the future, and he would have to trouble the sixth grandfather again.
