Chapter 281: The Secret of Honey
Early in the morning of the second day, the fat man got up and circled around the chicken farm. This is already his day when he looks at the lively chicks, the elegant sika deer and the proud red deer, and is in a happy mood.
Howling and howling, as usual, came to the fat man out of nowhere, rubbing his head against his trouser tube, which was regarded as a greeting, lukewarm.
Even so, the fat man is already very content: people are real wolves, why do they want to wag their tails with you every day?
In front of the kennel, the black girl was lying there lazily, her belly was already a little bulging, and her little life was being nurtured inside. But how many can there be, and the fat man has no bottom in his heart.
Seeing the howl, the black girl got up and wagged her tail to please her, and the howl ran away without a trace. The black girl's hot face was pasted with a cold **, and she was a little unthinking, so she went straight back to the kennel.
"Something ruthless and unrighteous, without a sense of responsibility at all." The fat man muttered, and then saw a group of wild boys walking from the village surrounded by the two old men.
"Uncle Fatty, are you still catching earthworms today?" The second fat man shouted from afar.
The fat man scratched his head, he should have built a few more pools, but when Lin Lao came, he would definitely accompany him up the mountain. So he ordered: "You first bring all the bricks from the vegetable factory, and then I will have time to get them." β
During the conversation, Lin Lao had already come to the fat man: "The air in the mountains is good, get up in the morning and walk around, refreshed." β
Old Wu nodded sympathetically: "Don't you see I'm just here to raise bees in the mountains, wait first, I'll get some honey." These gluttonous boys, as soon as they saw me, they all followed. β
The fat man suddenly realized: "You stinky boys. You didn't think about working for me. I'm waiting to drink honey. I was happy just now. The truth, each of you, will get you some villain books. Now it's all free! β
didn't wait for the old Wu Tou to come back. But a bunch of bees flew over first. Buzzing in the flowers around the garden. These flowers. They were all wildflowers brought back from the mountains by the fat man last year. Of all shapes and sizes. Colorful. It's all very vigorous.
Lin Lao stopped in front of the flower. Watch the bees collect honey. He muttered, "Anglao Ge's honey must be mellow." β
Suddenly. He saw clusters of red flowers among the flowers. The flowers are small. But it was dazzlingly red: "Little yellow." You've got Rhodiola Rosea here. Weird. Look at this flower cluster. It seems to be a high mountain land variety. β
The fat man secretly admired. You can recognize alpine rhodiola at a glance. It's true that not ordinary people can do it. And for senior leaders. Alpine rhodiola is just right.
So he nodded: "This is transplanted from the Yue birch forest on the top of Daqing Mountain, where it is inaccessible all year round, and basically retains its original style." According to Uncle Yaozi, the effect of medicine is also the best. β
Lin Lao looked up at the lush green mountains in the distance, and his gaze looked extremely distant: "Since you are here, you must go up and have a look." β
Thinking of the cold on the mountain, the fat man was a little worried: "Lin Lao, to get there, it will take about four or five days to walk, and the higher the altitude, the colder the climate, this month, the snow must not have completely melted." β
"Haha, it's okay, when I crossed the meadow, I was only fourteen years old, and I didn't come over like this!" Lin Lao's words revealed incomparable heroism, and the fat man also woke up to the fact that the old man in front of him was originally a soldier, and in front of the soldiers, there was no difficulty at all.
Old Wu Tou walked back with a canned bottle, got a pot for the little babies, and then washed Lin Lao alone with a big bowl, and the fat man followed to borrow it.
"Well, there is sweetness in freshness, which is by no means artificial." Lin Lao studied medicine, and honey is actually an important tonic, except for children under the age of one, the rest are suitable for all ages.
Lao Wu Tou is like a primary school student who was praised by the teacher: "I used to know a few beekeepers, all of them lived a long life, and their bodies were still very healthy, so I entered this Tao, Lin Lao, you are studying medicine, is there any basis for this?" β
"Of course, it has a relationship, the history of beekeeping and honey harvesting in China can be traced back to more than 2,000 years ago. The Compendium of Materia Medica says that honey has five functions in medicine, clearing heat, tonifying the middle, detoxifying, moisturizing dryness, and relieving pain. It can reconcile hundreds of medicines, so Chinese medicine refines honey into pills. β
As soon as Lin Lao talked about this, he naturally gushed endlessly, and Lao Wu Tou smiled.
Seeing this, the fat man couldn't help but say: "If you keep your old temperament, it will definitely be no problem to live past a hundred years old, and you will still be an old naughty boy when the time comes." β
Old Wu Tou didn't have the same knowledge as him, and said to Lin Lao: "It's strange for you to say, it stands to reason that wild bees collect flowers and brew mixed nectar, but they are better than those single nectars, like lychee honey, tree honey, acacia nectar, etc." β
It is said that among the types of honey, it is generally believed that the mixed nectar is inferior, and when a certain kind of flower tree blooms in a large area, the harvested honey is called single nectar, and the grade is the highest.
"Wild bees? Brother Ang, do you raise wild bees? Lin Lao showed an extremely shocked look on his face: "No wonder, this honey tastes so unique, single nectar is indeed better than mixed nectar, but this can't be generalized." The best honey is the nectar made by wild bees in the hollows of stone caves, known as stone honey or rock honey, which has the highest nutritional value, but the production is limited. β
old
Ran Dawu: "It turns out that this wild bee is really a baby, haha, fat man, Cheeduo collects a few nests." β
"A thief's heart doesn't die." The fat man muttered in his heart.
Lin Lao smiled and drank the honey water in the bowl: "We have as much honey as we want." β
Old Wu Tou shook his head again and again: "Now there are four boxes of such wild bees, the output is too small, you see, these wild boys come in three days and two heads, it's strange if they can be left." β
The fat man was excited: "After a few years of exhibition, the bee colony will grow, and it should almost meet Lin Lao's needs." "It's not just a matter of a few jars of honey, you need wildflowers to make honey, so that the environment of Daqingshan can be protected, and the so-called pulling the whole body, a wildflower can be related to the rise and fall of Daqingshan.
However, to the disappointment of the fat man, Lin Lao shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work, under artificial conditions, after a few generations of wild bees, the wildness will disappear, and the honey will not be much different from those produced by artificial bees." β
"That's a real nuisance." The fat man shook his head, and he also had a little regret in his heart, it seems that if he wants to raise wild bees on a large scale, it is still very difficult, no matter how many wild bee colonies are in the mountains, there are at most one hundred and eighty large bee colonies, if they are all caught, they will be eradicated in a few years, not a long-term solution.
"Xiao Huang, you still have deer over there, go over and take a look." Lin Lao saw that there were still artificially stocked deer, and of course he refused to let go.
The fat man scratched his head, and was about to speak, but Lao Wu Tou preemptively said: "Lao Lin, why don't you call him a fat man." To tell you the truth, there are two yellow dogs over there, one is called Rhubarb and the other is called Xiao Huang. β
The fat man glared at the old Wu head viciously: Believe it or not, I let the dog go, no, let the wolf go!
"That's the best, it's kinder, little fatty, let's go to the deer pen and have a look." Lin Lao smiled.
"Gotta orderβ" The fat man shouted, and reluctantly put down the big bowl in his hand: "Get me another bowl when I come back, and I will be pulled together with the dog." β
"Okay, I haven't eaten in the morning, drinking too much honey is easy to diarrhea, didn't you listen to what Lao Lin just said, honey has a moisturizing effect." Old Wu Tou looked at the fat man with a wicked smile, and what he was most willing to do was to quarrel with the fat man.
"Then I'll drink it too, and I'll lose weight." Of course, fat people are not so easy to beat.
Xiaoxiao, came to the deer farm, after more than half a year of recuperation, the deer herd has grown again, the sika deer herd and the red deer herd combined, a total of more than ten young deer, really gratifying.
The second pillar was busy in the deer pen, using a large shovel to pull out the manure on the ground. Those big red deer were also familiar with him, and from time to time they gently bumped his ** twice with the newly grown tender horns, urging him to hurry up and go out for a walk early.
"It seems that this deer pen needs to be wide outward, and there are more and more deer herdsβ" said the fat man with a smile, and watching the fawns burrow under the doe's belly would make anyone's heart well.
The doe sticks out her tongue from time to time and gently licks the fawn twice, licking the calf's affection.
"Little Yellow - Fatty, these deer are specially here to collect deer antlers?" Lin Lao couldn't help but ask.
The fat man nodded: "Now we can only produce deer antler velvet, the scale is too small, it seems that it will take three years and five years to exceed 100." β
At this time, the two pillars were done, and when they opened the fence gate, the deer herd poured out like a flood, and the big male deer took the lead, running towards the distant hillside.
Lin Lao had seen sika deer breeding in other places before, but he had never seen such a big show. After thinking about it, I suddenly felt a movement in my heart: The antler velvet produced here, I'm afraid that the level is higher?
It is said that pure wild deer antler velvet may be cut early or late, either too tender or too old. If it is too tender, the essence and blood in it are not full, and if it is too old, it has ossified and is even less effective.
The artificially fed deer farms are mostly closed, and the deer herd lacks space to move, just like raising pigs, fat pigs piled up with feed additives, and free-range stupid pigs, which are definitely two flavors.
"Wait, are these little musk deer in the back?" Lin Lao saw that the deer herd was followed by a few cubs at the end, and at first he thought it was a deer, but when he looked closely, he looked like a fragrant roe deer.
Compared with last year, there is one more fragrant roe deer. In the meantime, the fat man and the old medicine man took out another musk. It could have been taken twice, but the fat man thought that the first priority now was to reproduce, so he symbolically took another one.
After groping around around for a while, the fat man took out a small box and handed it to Lin Lao. When I opened it, it was a black and bright musk, and it smelled strange.
Lin Lao hurriedly re-covered the box, he knew that this thing would not smell after smelling it for a long time: "Little fat man, there are so few fragrant roe deer, how can you be willing to kill it?" β
The fat man picked his ears with his little finger: "This is similar to picking out your ears, you can use a small spoon to reach into the sachet, and you can pull it out several times a year." β
Lin Lao also heard about it for the first time, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's really freshβdoesn't that mean that you can continue to produce musk." Fatty, you're getting more and more incomprehensible here. β
