Chapter 31 Keeping Bees

Fang Da Niu took the sisters home with an ox cart and left Liumu Village, and Jinxiu remembered what she wanted to buy for a while, so the ox cart turned back to the town.

Jinxiu took Jinyu to the seemingly tall bookstore in the town, standing in front of the bookcase and looking at the bibliography and selecting the scrolls, all of them were Sven people in long robes, Jinxiu saw Jinyu's bated breath and tiptoe, knew that she was very nervous, couldn't help but laugh, and said:

"This is not a school, just a place to sell books, as long as you have money to buy books, you can come in, don't be nervous. When the place where we build a new house is wide, it is not difficult for my sister to teach you to read and learn arithmetic! ”

The two sisters stood in front of the bookcase for a while, and Jinxiu flipped through a few books, afraid that the big cow would wait too long at the market entrance, so they pulled Jinyu out of the bookstore.

There was a discussion behind him: "Hey, these days, the village girl dares to enter the bookstore!" ”

"Yes, that's not true! She also took the book and read it, she didn't know how to pretend to understand, and insulted Sven! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Jinxiu really wants to turn around and scold two sentences - you are insulting Sven, such a big person is still a child, maybe not even a child! Girl, I was already a college student when I was seventeen years old, and I started working in four years and got paid, can you?

A group of parasites, gnawing at the old people, useless scholars who can't even catch a chicken, despised!

Jinyu wanted to turn around, but when she thought of the word "Swen", she still endured it!

I went to the grocery store and bought twenty ordinary white porcelain bottles with corks, and carefully placed them in the back basket. While Jinyu went to look through other goods, Jinxiu bought more than thirty different styles of white porcelain vases with the shopkeeper, picked them up and put them in the back basket, and actually put them directly into the cave for later use.

I went to Liu Ji Pharmacy again and bought a few flavors of medicine, but the shopkeeper Liu was not there, and the young man recognized them, so he politely received them and weighed the medicinal materials.

Then I went to a shop to buy salt and sugar, and saw someone selling honey in a bamboo tube, and I also bought some, Jinyu asked what I was doing with so much sugar? Jinxiu told her: Liu Ji pharmacy has loquat ointment, autumn pear paste for sale, moisturizing the lungs and relieving cough and nourishing effect, I used to see the practice of loquat paste and autumn pear paste in a book of my father, and asked Liu shopkeeper a few more words, yesterday I dragged back a sack of bird pears from the mountain, just want to learn to make autumn pear paste by myself!

Jinyu was just taken aback, and immediately said: I want to do it with you!

Jinxiu nodded, it's good to have a diligent and inquisitive girl as an assistant.

Fang Da Niu sat on the ox cart and waited for them, and when he saw Jinxiu coming back with a bamboo tube of honey, he smiled and said, "You take the money to buy this?" We have it! I forgot about it in a hurry just now -- Erniu and Sanniu dug a nest of honey from the mountains yesterday and went home, and there are still beeswax beeboxes and whatever, you like it, when Dad gets it ready, I will load more honey tomorrow! ”

Jinxiu asked, "Are those bees still complete?" Can one fly? ”

The big cow smirked: "It's complete!" Two cows and three cows love to eat sugar, since they were young, they are most accustomed to digging this, and they take a finely woven bamboo basket to cover their brains and seal them and carry them home, which is buzzing with a lot of bees. ”

Jinxiu hurriedly said: "Let the aunt don't do it, give me all the honeycomb and live bees!" ”

Fang Daniu asked: "You just eat honey, what do you want bees for?" ”

"I'll raise it! We'll have a big garden in the future, and I'll keep a swarm of bees in the back garden! ”

These words not only shocked Fang Daniu, but also frightened Jinyu: "Sister, bees can sting, how can they be kept in the back garden?" ”

Jinxiu said: "No, I'll buy some yarn and make a yarn house, it can't fly!" ”

Fang Daniu: "......"

May I ask Cousin Jinxiu, can you really keep bees like this? Locked in a yarn house, it can't pick pollen, what can it do to make honey?

Jinxiu didn't care about Fang Daniu's questions, she just wanted to put the nest of bees into the cave to raise, so that she could get honey when the time cameβ€”there didn't seem to be much honey in the storage room.

When she returned to the entrance of Dongshan Village, Jinxiu attached herself to Jinyu's ear and told her that she didn't have to tell her about how much silver her sister had sold for so many good things when she went up the mountain alone yesterday and how much silver she sold today.

"Don't pay attention to other people's legends, let's just don't say it ourselves!"

Jinyu said: "Sister, I understand this - I don't tell anyone about the silver, I only sue SΓΉ Niang, and I don't even let Jinyun know, so that she won't leak her mouth!" ”

Jinxiu snorted: "The master really asked a tight question, so he said that he could get dozens of taels of silver, so we got up to buy bricks, tiles and wood for the new house, and he could estimate the amount of silver when he saw it, so he simply said so!" ”

Jinyu nodded: "Okay, that's it!" ”

The Splendid Sisters and Fang Daniu walked into the courtyard of the Feng family, and the old man Feng stood under the eaves of the main house and saw it, his eyes first lit up, and then darkened.

He didn't want to see the relatives of the Tian family now, especially the people from Aunt Tian's family.

Fang Daniu carried a large basket of fresh vegetables cut by Aunt Tian from her own vegetable garden in his left hand, and a big winter melon in his right hand, and walked behind the Jinxiu sisters.

Feng Liang and several daughters were squatting or sitting, peeling chestnuts in the yard, and seeing that Fang Da Niu was not carrying grain, Feng Liang's eyes were not hot, nor did he say hello, but he was interested in the big food box in Jinyu's hand:

"Second girl, how much silver did you two get from selling mountain goods? You should also take a few taels to honor your grandmother and eat a fragrant meal, wear good clothes, but take the money to buy it indiscriminately, what is in this bucket? Take it out and take a look! ”

"Mother, that's called a food box, it's packed with food!" Feng Liuhua said loudly.

Rural farmers all use back baskets or bamboo baskets, the top bamboo baskets are made of fine bamboo skin, with a lid, already feel very high-grade, how can you use this thin wooden board to make zuΓ², but also apply a few layers of clear oil to draw a few patterns to cover the delicate barrel tightly?

Feng Liuhua also has one or two good friends in the village, such as the Lin family in the west of the village, Lin Chunzhi and Lin Chunman, Lin Chunzhi's brother Lin Yourong is a child, and there are classmates in the town and county.

"What's delicious? Take a look at the milk, and let your grandfather taste it fresh! ”

Feng Liang patted the chestnut crumbs on his hand, and walked over to grab Jinyu's food box.

Jinxiu led Fang Da Niu into the thatched house quickly, Fang Da Niu put down his things and only shouted the second aunt, and Jin Xiu pushed him out:

"Snatch the food box back, just say that your mother made a special trip to give it to my mother!"

The dim sum and dishes of Fu Xilai Restaurant, my mother and sister have never tasted it, how can it be possible for Feng Liang's mother and daughter to be the first!

Feng Liang was competing with Jinyu in a tug-of-war, Fang Daniu rushed over and hugged the food box without saying a word, and said to Feng Liang with a smile:

"I'm sorry old lady, it's not a good thing, there are just a few pieces of dim sum in it, my mother specially bought it for my second aunt and cousin!"

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the thatched hut.

Feng Liang was so angry that he choked.

Feng Liuhua snorted: "This kind of food box can only be used by rich people, how much money can his family have?" It must be that Jinxiu and Jinyu sold matsutake lion's mane mushrooms and spent money indiscriminately to buy food in restaurants...... Mother! The two-storey and three-storey restaurant in the town is famous, and I heard Chunzhi's brother say that the dishes and snacks are really expensive, but they are also really delicious! None of us have ever tasted it! ”

Tiehua tugged at Feng Liang's sleeve, Feng Yuzhen also looked at her grandmother, Feng Liang said, "You wait, I'll go and get a few for you to eat!" ”

Old man Feng, who was cutting bamboo skin and weaving baskets under the eaves, coughed: "Don't go!" ”

Feng Taohua said: "Dad, you can't get used to them like this!" ”

"You know what? If I can't go, I'm not allowed to go! That fence yard, in the future, if you mother steps in again, I will break her leg! ”

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Feng Liang pointed at Old Man Feng and scolded: "What a dead old man! You're going to suppress me for the sake of that mother and daughter, aren't you? I've been married to you for all these years, eating bran and having children, is it easy to work hard to run this family? You break your leg at the slightest thing, break your leg, you come, you fight? Just kill my Dele! ”

……

The mother and daughter in the house didn't listen to the noise outside, Tian was full of smiles, pulled Fang Daniu and asked the east and west to talk endlessly, Jinyun had a red bean and coconut shredded crisp in his left hand, a meat pine garlic roll in his right hand, and a small honey ball in his mouth, feasting and being very happy!

Seeing Jinxiu and Jinyu is also satisfied-if the food box is snatched by Feng Liang's family, even if Jinyun can get one or two in the end, how can he still be so calm and happy?

Jinyun fed Tian and ate a few snacks, Tian praised while eating, let the big cow eat, and shouted Jinxiu, these three people have eaten enough at Aunt Tian's house, and they are not hungry now.

Tian covered the two dishes, left them for dinner, took the dried lotus leaves and wrapped five or six meat pine flower rolls, lotus root honey cake, jujube paste yam cake and seven or eight small honey balls, and handed them to Jinyu: when the mother and daughter sent Fang Da Niu out, let Jinyu hand it to Feng Liang.

Jinyu is also naughty now, Feng Liang's eyes bulge and look at her, she insisted on not handing over the lotus leaf bag in her hand, but walked a few more steps, went to the eaves and handed it to Old Man Feng.

was so angry that Feng Liang clapped his hands and scolded, at this time, Fang Daniu had already been discharged from the hospital and drove the ox cart away.

Old Man Feng asked Jinyu, "Did you go to your aunt's house?" ”

Jinyu replied: "When I met the Fang family's cousin and aunt in the town, they were selling vegetables, and the Fang family's cousin sent us back." ”

Old Man Feng asked again: "How much silver are you selling for?" Or is it a silver ticket given? ”

Jinyu: "It's a silver ticket, and this time I got it...... Sixty taels! My mother said that I would save a thick dowry for my sister! ”

Old Man Feng listened for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes, yes!" Let's save the money first! Since the Zhang family's incident, your sister's reputation is not very good. Don't worry, your father is a talented man, how many people are willing to kiss him! When your father comes back, you will let your father make plans for your sister, and it will not be difficult for us to find a good family affair! ”

Jinyu deliberately whispered, and Old Man Feng was not loud, the two of them were talking under the eaves, seven or eight steps away, Feng Liang's mother and daughter didn't hear clearly.

As soon as Jinyu left, a group of people surrounded Old Man Feng, and was beaten by Old Man Feng with strips, scattered as birds and beasts, and Feng Liang's sharp scolding echoed in the courtyard of the Feng family all afternoon.

The mothers and daughters in the fence yard didn't pay attention, and the Jinxiu sisters moved a big iron pot out of the stone stove, chopped wood to make a big fire, while pouring out and washing a burlap bag of beans and pears that they brought back yesterday, peeling the peel and removing the pear core with a firewood knife, and using the stone to make pear flesh, Tian asked them to make zuΓ² autumn pear paste, and they were not surprised - their daughter's laundry soap and everything were made, and it was not strange to make an autumn pear paste!
