Chapter 119 A life as sweet as honey
The bee colony flew away, and there were still a few bees flying sporadically around the hive, wandering around the hive, Zhao Ziqiao was fortunate to see a bee colony escape, knowing that the bees around the beehive were lone bees who went out to collect honey and came back, as long as the queen bee did not lead the swarm back, the hive was abandoned, and the remaining bees would follow the smell left by the queen bee to pursue the past, or starve to death.
Coupled with the fact that there is still smoke floating under the hive, the possibility of the queen bee coming back is extremely low. So Zhao Ziqiao didn't care about the few bees dangling around the hive, and strode under the hive.
Looking at the beehive hanging like a blanket on the branches, Zhao Ziqiao licked his lips, it seemed that there was already a taste of honey in his mouth, but this beehive was hanging a little high, let him go up, it was impossible, he had to come back and move the ladder, and at the same time take some containers for honey, if the hive fell to the ground, it would not be beautiful.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ziqiao asked the two farmers under the tree to take care of the fire, continue to make smoke, maintain the supply of smoke, and ensure that the queen bee would not fly back, and he drove back on a quad bike.
An hour later, Zhao Ziqiao drove a quad bike with a wooden ladder hanging on the car, loaded with several washbasins and buckets, and rushed over with a clang, followed by two farmers running with kitchen knives.
Arrived at the tree hanging under the hive, there were only a few bees around the hive, and the queen bee who ran away did not lead the swarm back, Zhao Ziqiao smiled, waited for a while and followed the farmers who ran over, and asked the two farmers who took care of the fire to put the wooden ladder on the tree, and he asked the two farmers with kitchen knives to help the rope climb up.
Looking up at the bark constantly falling, Zhao Ziqiao was very glad that this kind of activity was not his own battle, if it was an unstable fall, he wouldn't even have a chance to rescue!
Two peasants with kitchen knives struggled to climb up the tree for a while, and finally climbed to the part where there were branches, and when they arrived here, they used their hands and feet together, and grabbed the branches to climb up, which was much less laborious than just relying on their hands and feet to climb up around the trunk.
Looking at the farmers who were climbing on the trees, Zhao Ziqiao remembered the scene when he was a child watching the people in the village climb the trees in order to prune the branches, when he was a child, he was very envious of the kind of people who were like monkeys on the trees, of course, the most important thing is that this kind of person who can easily go up the tree, can easily go to the tree to pick up the bird's nest on the tree, and at that time can raise a bird at home, that is a thing that can make the children of the whole village envious.
But now the conditions are good, there is no longer this situation, as long as the branches block the sun, no one will go up the tree to prune the branches, but directly cut down the tree, now children want to raise birds, as long as they are coquettish with their parents, a few dollars in the market for a dozen dollars of chicks, pick at will.
After a minute or two of Zhao Ziqiao's distraction, the two peasants climbing on the tree had already stood up, stepped on a branch under the hive, and stared at the hive hanging on the tree with a slight shaking.
Seeing that the two had reached their positions, Zhao Ziqiao picked up the rope tied to them, tied the two buckets, and let the two people on the tree start to pull up.
The bucket clanged against the trunk of the tree and was pulled up by two peasants on the tree, one holding the bucket and the other farmer cutting the hive, in an orderly manner.
Zhao Ziqiao looked up at the movements of the two, chuckled, and whispered, "Do you still know the division of labor?"
The farmer with the kitchen knife on the tree reached out and held the corner of the hive, and the kitchen knife in his hand slowly cut in, and the hive was covered with kitchen knives, and the honey in the hive flowed out at once, golden as oil, thick as a thick pulp.
The farmer who cut the hive couldn't help but take two mouthfuls of sweet air when he smelled the fragrant honey, and his Adam's apple contracted for a while, and he couldn't wait to press his whole face against the hive.
However, he did not lean his face over, but used all his strength, cut off a large piece of beehive, and held a large piece of beehive in his hand, and the farmer was about to put it into the bucket in the hand of the farmer next to him, but the hive in his hand was affected by gravity, and suddenly broke off from the middle, and a large piece of the hive fell directly down.
The falling beehive touched the branch and split into several pieces, and the honey in the hive was like a blooming flower, splashing out, Zhao Ziqiao looked at this scene, and shouted with some pain: "Give me a small cut every time! Don't cut so big!"
If you really want these two guys to drop chunks of cut honey one after another, the few beehives hanging from this tree are not enough for them to cause trouble.
After Zhao Ziqiao finished shouting, the two farmers who did not go up the tree ran towards the place where the hive fell, and after looking for a while, the two came to Zhao Ziqiao with a bunch of beehives stained with dead branches and leaves, looking like offering treasures, and let Zhao Ziqiao eat.
Looking at their hands blackened by the ignition, and then seeing the dead branches and leaves stained on the beehive, Zhao Ziqiao didn't have the slightest appetite, waved his hand, and let them eat by themselves.
Hearing Zhao Ziqiao's instructions, the two farmers were suddenly excited, and they didn't care about the situation in their hands, they opened their mouths and bit the beehive in their hands, chewing with great enjoyment.
As soon as the two of them ate like this, Zhao Ziqiao smelled a rich honey fragrance, a mixture of floral fragrance and sweetness, this taste has always stayed in Zhao Ziqiao's memory, and now smelling this smell, he couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.
However, seeing the honey flowing down between the dark fingers of the two, Zhao Ziqiao had a lack of appetite on his face again, feeling that such a good thing was really ruined by two people!
There were two farmers eating honey next to him, and Zhao Ziqiao was even more looking forward to when the two farmers on the tree would be able to cut a bucket of honey down, so that he could satisfy his hunger!
With Zhao Ziqiao's instructions, the farmers who cut the honey on the trees also cut the beehives into small pieces and cut them down, basically only enough for the size of a fist.
This is a bit of a slow work and meticulous action, which makes Zhao Ziqiao look a little uncomfortable, according to this efficiency, when will he be able to eat honey?
I wanted the farmer on the tree to cut it bigger, but thinking of the farmer's IQ, Zhao Ziqiao still gave up this idea, don't let the farmer on the tree understand his thoughts, and waste a lot of honey in vain.
Zhao Ziqiao raised his head and swallowed his saliva, staring at the farmers on the trees cutting the hive, he didn't expect that he could stare at them for more than ten minutes without changing his movements.
And the two farmers beside him were after eating the honey in their hands and licking their fingers clean, they saw the honey dripping from the tree, and the two of them ran to the place where the honey was dripping with their mouths open like fools, waiting for the honey to fall into their mouths, every time a drop of honey fell into their mouths, they could dance happily, and there were black lines on Zhao Ziqiao's head!
Finally waited for the honey bucket to emerge in the hive, Zhao Ziqiao hurriedly asked the farmer on the tree to put down the bucket, and in a somewhat worried mood, Zhao Ziqiao finally waited until the bucket landed smoothly.
As soon as the bucket landed, he couldn't wait to run over, reached out and pinched a fist-sized beehive, and took a hard bite, the viscous honey was so overwhelming by the tip of his tongue that it flowed into his mouth, and the mellow sweetness suddenly made Zhao Ziqiao couldn't help but take a big breath, and enjoyed it and closed his eyes directly.
How many years have you not experienced this feeling?
The honey that is so sweet that people feel happy spreads out in the mouth, this kind of feeling that is so sweet that it makes people feel thick, but not disgusting, just this mouthful of honey is enough to make the cells in the body jump with it.
When Zhao Ziqiao was enjoying it, golden honey flowed from the place where the hive was bitten, and it flowed down his fingers holding the hive to his wrist, and he felt the honey flowing at the wrist, Zhao Ziqiao opened his eyes and stretched out his tongue to lick the flowing honey directly.
Just now he was laughing at the two peasants for not being able to eat each other, but in the blink of an eye, he was also reduced to their appearance!
"That's the taste!" Licking the honey off his fingers, Zhao Ziqiao chewed the honeycomb in his mouth, as if he was chewing QQ candy.
The most enjoyable way to eat honey is Zhao Ziqiao's way of eating, eating it together with the beehive, chewy and sweet with honey, and the feeling in the mouth is much more enjoyable than simply eating honey.
The fist-sized beehive in his hand was eaten by Zhao Ziqiao's greedy mouth, and there were a few more pieces of beehive residue on the ground that he chewed into slag, and the mouth was a little greasy, but it still made people want to eat it.
Licking the remaining honey juice at the corner of his mouth, Zhao Ziqiao stepped back a little with a bucket full of beehives, he was afraid that the bark falling from the tree would fall into the bucket, and his action directly affected the eyes of the two farmers, the two farmers stared at the bucket in his hand, and the desire to eat could melt the iron bucket.
"Hehe, this isn't for you. Zhao Ziqiao saw the eyes of the two like hungry wolves, and said with a smile.
This kind of natural sweet food, in the tropical rainforests of Africa, is a rare delicacy, and it is also an important criterion to prove whether the men in the tribe can take care of their wives and children, although Zhao Ziqiao does not have such a heavy sense of responsibility, but pure wild honey is also a rare good thing.
After he said this, the two farmers didn't look away, Zhao Ziqiao really couldn't stand the eyes of these two goods, and in desperation, he took out two beehives from the bucket and handed them to the two.
Seeing Zhao Ziqiao handing over two beehives, the two farmers shouted loudly, but the beehive in his hand jumped on the ground with some excitement.
Zhao Ziqiao sighed and shook his head, just a beehive, they can do this, there is really no one!
Seeing the two of them biting the honeycomb and eating honey, Zhao Ziqiao couldn't help but pick up a piece of the honeycomb, who doesn't like a sweet honey life?
Since the two people below had tasted the honey, Zhao Ziqiao was not stingy, and shouted to the two farmers on the tree: "You guys should also taste this honey!"
Hearing Zhao Ziqiao's shout, the two farmers on the tree shouted excitedly, compared to the two farmers under the tree, they endured the hardest, and now they can finally taste the honey in front of them, can they not be happy?
Looking at the movements of the two farmers on the tree, Zhao Ziqiao was really afraid that they would fall from the tree, but eating honey and watching people work, this kind of happy life is really pleasant!
