Chapter 15: First Encounter
Lou Yuzhu took the smelly grass and wild mint to weave a huge grass ring, Lou Hua put on the grass ring and then took a gauze to cover his head and face, the clothes on his body were thick enough for two years, the sleeves and trousers were tied tightly, and the cloth strips were wrapped around his hands to avoid a thick layer of mint juice.
Lou Yuzhu took two steps back to see if there was anything in place, but she was accidentally choked by the smell of Lou Hua's body for a while.
"Ha~~ Ha!"
Lou Ming took two steps back, looked at Lou Hua's strange appearance, covered his lips and snickered.
"Brother, you really don't smell good." Lou Yuzhu rubbed her nose and retreated, and she was really happy to see Lou Hua's appearance.
Lou Hua glared at the two of them, and said angrily: "Who did I get this?" ”
Lou Ming and Lou Yuzhu looked at each other and smiled heartlessly, Lou Hua took the two of them and didn't care, just covered their heads and worked. The brothers who laughed enough helped light the torches on the bamboo poles, and the dry firewood in the innermost part lit the torches to make thick white smoke, and the brothers put the bamboo poles under the honeycomb, and Lou Ming and Lou Yuzhu left Lou Hua, who was fully armed, under the tree.
It is common sense to use cigarettes to drive away bees in modern times, and Lou Yuzhu has also seen several programs on authoritative TV stations that take wild honeycombs, but no matter how sure you are, it is inevitable that you will feel uneasy before the honeycomb is safely harvested. Fortunately, the reality of the authoritative station's reality program is relatively high, and the method of using smoke to deal with bees is correct. I saw that the smoke rising from the grass rushed up to the honeycomb from the bottom up, and the bees guarding the honeycomb retreated one by one, and the few remaining ones who did not want to leave were also scared away by the grass handle in Lou Hua's hand!
Then comes the most important step! Take the honeycomb!
Lou Hua took a breath and tried his best to overcome his fear of bees, put the straw on the branches, steadied his hand, took out scissors, cut the honeycomb, and then tied the honeycomb to the rattan that had been prepared earlier, and slowly transported it down.
Lou Ming, Lou Yuzhu watched with bated breath from a distance.
The honeycomb was transported to the ground, Lou Hua threw away the rattan and carefully climbed down from the original road, ignoring the few bees around him carrying the finished honeycomb out of the tree, and there was another fire raised by Lou Yuzhu in another clearing, and the smoke was enough to smoke away a few bees who did not give up.
From the beginning of taking the honeycomb to safely transporting the honeycomb to carrying the honeycomb through the fire that rose with thick smoke, the whole process of Lou Hua was tense.
"Brother!" Lou Yuzhu ran to help Lou Hua take off the yarn account and slapped him with a smile. "Well done!"
Lou Ming's eyes were full of admiration: "Brother, you are so stakes, you are not afraid of being so close to the bees!" ”
Afraid, how can you not be afraid? But when I thought that it was at least a tael of silver, I was not so afraid. "How do you get this thing?"
"It should be cut directly and cut out the secret, but we don't have the tools in our hands, why don't we go to the Renshan Medicine Hall in the town, this honey bee chrysalis, including this honeycomb, is a good thing that can be used in medicine, and they should all accept it."
Lou Hua frowned, thinking about it, and felt that this was a good way. "Then let's pack up and go."
"Good!"
The brothers put out the fire, packed up, carried a bag of honeycomb cloth and walked to the town, and the path they copied as usual was about half an hour away.
Renshan Pharmacy is a century-old pharmacy in Huya Town, with good beer and no deception, and the good doctor who sits in the hall is also the best medical skill in the town.
The shopkeeper of the medicine hall is surnamed Zhai, and Lou Yuzhu inquired before looking for it.
"Shopkeeper Zhai,"
The middle-aged man with a mustache turned his head to see the three diced radish, and said to the eldest Lou Hua: "Little brother call me?" ”
Lou Hua nodded, peeling off his old clothes to reveal the honeycomb inside. "Shopkeeper Zhai, can this collect honeycombs?"
Bees are generally feared by most people, but this honeycomb without bees is liked by everyone, and Shopkeeper Zhai is no exception. "This honeycomb can be dignified? Can honey bee pupae remain? ”
Lou Yuzhu bent her eyes and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the shopkeeper, we haven't opened this honeycomb yet." ”
"Haven't opened it? Good! We took this honeycomb. "Motioning for a few brothers to follow, the shopkeeper Zhai led people into the back hall and summoned the guys to get knives and clean clay pots, took the honeycomb and put it on their hands." It seems that this weight should be quite a lot. ”
"Although the shopkeeper is open, if there are not many bees, the shopkeeper will give less." The latter sentence is that if there are more bees, give more bit~
When the shopkeeper Zhai heard this, he turned his head to look at Lou Yuzhu, and said with a smile: "You brother is so shrewd!" ”
Lou Yuzhu smiled embarrassedly: "Huya Town knows that the shopkeeper Zhai is kind, otherwise our brothers would not dare to carry the honeycomb to the door by themselves." ”
Bee dense has always been a good thing, especially in this era of sugar scarcity, in the rich and noble is a good product for health and beauty, in the hands of good doctors is a good medicine. It's a pity that there are few of these things, and people's fear of bees makes bee density even more rare, and it is almost impossible to find.
"Just trust your brother, I will definitely give the fairest price for this honeycomb today!"
Hearing this, Lou Yuzhu's eyes lit up: "Then thank you Zhai shopkeeper!" ”
As he spoke, the honeycomb was cut open to reveal the golden honey and yellow and white bee pupae inside, and the shopkeeper Zhai was happy to separate the bee dense and the bee pupae with his hands and feet, and the honeycomb shell was also dismantled in the bamboo cage on one side, although this thing is not valuable, it is also a medicine, and it cannot be wasted. After a short time, the whole honeycomb was processed, Lou Yuzhu looked at the half jar of golden bees and half a bowl of bee chrysalis on the table, and then looked at the smile on the face of the shopkeeper Zhai, thinking that this amount should be good.
"Shopkeeper," Zhai put down the knife, and a guy in the front hall came in with a mysterious look. "That Young Master Pei from Shangjing is here."
"But the one who only arrived in Huya Town a few days ago?"
"Exactly!"
"Hurry up, meet me!" Shopkeeper Zhai's expression changed, and he didn't even care about the honey, and after a few steps, he opened the curtain and stepped out.
The guy didn't avoid Lou Hua and the others when he said this, Lou Yuzhu was curious for a while, and half opened the curtain to look out.
Lou Hua was anxious: "Brother Yu must not be rude." Looking at the demeanor of the shopkeeper Zhai, it may be a nobleman from Shangjing, and he should not cause trouble for the shopkeeper Zhai. "If Shopkeeper Zhai doesn't accept their honeycomb in a fit of anger, it will be troublesome!
"It's okay, this is the back hall, we just secretly look at it and won't collide with the nobles." Saying that, Lou Yuzhu turned her head to look at the curtain that had been lifted. I saw a young man in Chinese clothes standing in front of the shopkeeper Zhai, his expression was not arrogant, but his temperament was invisibly three points higher, and the dignity cultivated by the wealthy mansion was revealed from his bones, even if he could only see half of his face, with this temperament, he must be a noble young man like a handsome jade tree Zhilan.
"The housekeeper is tired from the work of the boat and the car, and I am looking for some warm items to replenish his body. Shopkeeper Zhai: Can there be warm medicinal supplements and the like? ”
The young man said in an official voice, and his tone turned high and low, and he only felt pleasant and comfortable in his ears.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper Zhai was overjoyed: "Young Master Pei came by coincidence, I just happened to get a honeycomb and took out a lot of honey and bee chrysalis, and took it back with warm water in the morning and evening, which is a good warm tonic product!" ”
"Then dare to be kind, go and get it!"
"Yes, Young Master Pei, wait a minute, I'll go get it."
Lou Yuzhu hurriedly put down the curtain, and the brothers retreated to the side. Shopkeeper Zhai walked in quickly and smiled at the brothers: "Today, the noble man is coming to the door, but there is this bee secret." So it's better to say that it's better than to be coincidental! As he spoke, he turned around and went out the door with the clay pot in his hand.
Lou Yuzhu lifted the curtain again and secretly stopped to take a look.
Zhou Cheng is Pei Guanying's little servant, and he has always followed him, this time the housekeeper Lai is not satisfied with the young master to buy warm and replenished medicinal materials, and he recommends this century-old Renshan Pharmacy. It's really worthwhile, and I think that with the honey Lai housekeeper, that little bit of water and soil adaptation can be overcome soon. Thinking of this, Zhou Cheng's eyes unconsciously followed the shopkeeper Zhai.
watched the shopkeeper Zhai lift the curtain and enter the back hall, and then watched the shopkeeper Zhai lift the curtain and come out, and then the curtain lifted a small corner and poked out a small head. Zhou Cheng was stunned, and when he saw it, he just collided with Lou Yuzhu who was looking up.
What a yellow-haired guy! This is Zhou Cheng's idea.
What a rude boy! This is Lou Yuzhu's idea.
