Chapter 496: Son-in-law Makes a Great Contribution!
"Bees, don't you poke a wild honeycomb, can a bee sting its face like this?" Xiang Gang raised an eyebrow and looked at the golden retriever.
The golden retriever nibbled and nodded violently at the crisp persimmon he had just thrown to him, "Squeak!" That's why I want to pull a helper to take revenge, so many wild bees, it is stupid to fight them single-handedly.
Xiang Gang suddenly became interested and asked Yingfang: "Do you remember the wild honey you bought in the mountains of your hometown last year?"
Ying Fang will be surprised: "Are you going to poke the wild honeycomb? Forget it, it's too dangerous! What should I do if I get stung? I'd rather not eat that mouthful of honey." ”
"Squeak!"
When the golden retriever heard the word wild honey, he jumped three feet high excitedly, squeaked and ran on the man's shoulder, and waved his paws a few times towards the sky, which means "rush", help Lao Tzu take revenge, smash the nest of the wild bees, kill and kill!
Ying Fang teased its tail a little funny: "Golden Retriever, you won't be chased by the bee swarm because you smashed the wild honeycomb, do you?
"Squeak......" The golden retriever looked at the pair of paws with resentment, the hostess was too bad to save any face for it.
Xiang Gang smiled and said: "If it's really a wild honeycomb, I really have to be accompanied by the Golden Retriever, otherwise how do I know where it is? But Golden Retriever, you have to listen to me, you can do whatever I tell you to do, don't hum and chirp." ”
"Squeak!" the stupid and cute little golden retriever fell into the man's trap.
Xiang Gang had the experience of digging the honeycomb last time, and this time he prepared much faster.
Torches are definitely needed, otherwise how can we attract the wild bees that are stationed in the nest? Secondly, we must wipe them on the face and hands and other exposed parts with a bucket of rotten yellow mud after going to the mountain.
Xiang Gang is okay, he wears thick clothes when it's cold, wears a felt hat on his head, and wears a coat on his body, and there are not many parts that need to be smeared, mainly on his face and hands.
The golden retriever is miserable, and it has to wipe its whole body without clothes, and when it is finished, it will take a look at it.
Except for the two eyes that are spinning around in bones, the whole body is yellow. It is not allowed to scratch it, because the mud is easy to fall off when it dries, and it is even more sticky when scratched.
A man and a monkey went up the mountain to dig out a wild honeycomb, and Yingfang and her mother waited at home worriedly.
After waiting for an hour, no one returned.
Jiang Xinrou was so anxious: "Why don't you come back? Don't you have an accident, right? I knew that I wouldn't let me go, a little wild honey made people panic." ”
Yingfang was also worried, but her mother was already so anxious, if she behaved more nervously, it would only make her mother more worried, so she was relieved in turn: "Mom, believe your son-in-law, he will be fine." I took it once in my hometown last year, and I was born twice once, and it will be fine. ”
"That's what I said, but ......"
Jiang Xinrou's voice did not fall, but she listened to the sound of the courtyard door opening and closing.
The two looked at each other, and it seemed that they were back!
Let's go out to greet them.
It's not like Xiang Gang is back.
It is estimated that I have washed my face and hands with the help of mountain streams, except for my shoes and clothes, which are stained with grass clippings and mud, my body is not very dirty. Carrying an iron bucket in his hand, looking at a bamboo basket on his shoulder, he strode forward excitedly.
"Are you back?
"Yes, Xiao Xiang, is there anything wrong with people? What about the golden retriever? It hasn't been stung this time, has it?"
The two of them spoke one after the other.
Xiang Gang wiped his sweat and answered one by one with a smile: "It's okay, we're both fine." The little guy found a fig tree in a crevice on the back of the honeycomb, and he was reluctant to come back for a while. I still have to rush to work, put the honeycomb first, and filter it when I come back. The mosquito net cloth you used last time is still there, right?"
As he spoke, he took the hot water from his mother-in-law and quickly washed his face.
"Yes. Ying Fang continued, "I washed it and brought it back last time, I wanted to use it to steam snacks, buns or something, but I didn't expect it to come in handy again." ”
Xiang Gang finished picking himself up and prepared to go out. Before leaving, while the mother-in-law was not in the hall, she quickly pecked at the corner of her daughter-in-law's mouth, "Happy, I got you so much honey, which is enough for you to eat for more than half a year." I don't know if honey has an effect on lactation, but if so, I'll cut a few more pieces. ”
Ying Fang pinched the meat on his waist with disgust: "You are a honeycomb made by your family, you can cut it if you want to eat it." If you are lucky not to be entangled by wild bees this time, it does not mean that you will be lucky next time. ”
Xiang Gang chuckled, knowing that she was shy, so he stopped teasing her, and went to work with a few words.
As soon as Xiang Gang left, Ying Fang suddenly thought-
"Look at my memory, I forgot to tell him about my dad and grandpa and they will be back tomorrow. ”
"What's the big deal, it's not like I won't come back at night. ”
Jiang Xinrou came out of the back room, answered with a smile, and then patted a small book with a brown paper cover in her hand, and said excitedly between her eyebrows:
"My son-in-law has done a great job! I was looking for this notebook just now. When your grandmother was there, she once told me an earthwork, saying that soil honey can promote lactation, drink a little honey water every day when you are pregnant, and after giving birth, honey is brewed with sweet wine, and the baby is kept to drink enough milk. And I heard that it can improve resistance, which is good for both mothers. ”
Hearing this, Ying Fang twitched the corners of her mouth fiercely.
Jiang Xinrou was still embarrassed by her, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I was also embarrassed at that time." When your grandmother told me, she hadn't given birth to you yet, so she was easy to be shy at that time. I was afraid that your father would see the joke on me, so I secretly wrote it down in a notebook and pressed it under the suitcase. I'm glad I brought this suitcase, otherwise I wouldn't be so sure...... Well, come and see, is the soil honey milk-inducing? Your grandmother is highly educated, and what she says will not be wrong......
Yingfang didn't need to look to know that her grandmother told her that her mother's earthwork was true - there is indeed such a lactation method among the people, and she had heard the older generation talk about it in her previous life.
The reason why the corners of his mouth are twitched is because he feels that his mother and the man are too tacit. After teasing her with this, the other one found out the real credentials. Let her say what is good?
Xiang Gang said that he said that the honeycomb would be kept, and he would filter it when he came back.
However, the two of them were idle, so in their leisure time on an autumn afternoon, they patiently drained a few large pieces of honeycomb that Xiang had just cut with a mosquito net. The amount of wild honey that has been drained is quite a lot.
Yingfang found out the idle bottles and jars at home, washed them, scalded them with boiling water, dried them, and used them to hold honey, and packed more than ten cans of large and small.
Thankfully, there is a cellar where these things are stored. Otherwise, it is also very spectacular to have so many rows in the stove room, and if a guest comes one day, what should be explained for this?
The two happily carried the filtered honey into the cellar one by one. A few cans were left to give away, and the others were hoarded in the cellar.
