In the past two days, Jiu Ye has been tired, and the nest of black Fengzi and a nest of purple-veined bees that came back from the captives two days ago have a lot of young bees for some reason. Although I can't figure it out, since it's a good thing, the ninth master won't bother thinking about it.

Seeing that there were more bees, the old man had no choice but to make a few big beehives himself, and divided these rapidly developing bees into six nests, and a new queen bee was born in the past two days, and the old man couldn't close his mouth all day long.

In fact, what made Jiu Ye happiest was that a large amount of royal jelly and honey of the purple-veined bees were scraped out of the honeycomb of the group of purple-veined bees, after all, no one had ever seen this thing, but I heard the older generation say that it was a rare good thing.

So although everyone was mentally prepared, when they saw the four cans of inky purple royal jelly and boxes of purple honey that were transparent and amethyst, without a trace of impurities, and exuded an intoxicating fragrance, their hearts still beat faster, and they couldn't help themselves with excitement.

Especially after everyone tasted a small spoonful of honey for three minutes, no one spoke, and they all squinted their eyes and savored it. This purple honey is the best, after entering the mouth, a cool fragrance spreads, feeling the taste buds on the tip of the tongue are filled with a sweet but not greasy taste, this taste turns on the tip of the tongue a few times and then turns into a wisp of liquid to spread to the root of the tongue, and then dissipate to the whole body.

After tasting this purple honey, several old people didn't dare to continue to taste the higher-grade purple royal jelly, for fear that all the delicious food after eating this thing would be tasteless, and they couldn't eat purple propolis every day, right? Besides, where did you get so much propolis?

What is even more surprising is that the morning after eating the purple honey, everyone on the mountain woke up feeling refreshed and clear. There is no trace of fire in his body, and his whole body is in the middle of yin and yang. It's incredibly comfortable.

At this time, everyone really realized the value of purple honey and sighed at the magic of nature. These honeys are comparable to ginseng, and in some ways even better than ginseng!

Later, at the insistence of Zhou Dingguo and Zhou Dingbang, the two fathers and sons, gave the purple honey to the old man on the mountain, and each of them divided about half a catty, and kept it for mixing it when he drank egg water in the morning.

Although these old men insisted on not wanting it at first, saying that such a valuable thing should be kept for good use, but under the interference of Zhou Yu and Zhou Hu, the old men still accepted it with a smile.

In fact, Zhou Yu's original purpose in building a villa on the mountain was to let this group of old people who have worked hard for the country and the nation all their lives have a happy and comfortable old age. Instead, they go south with the troops, so many of them must at least be cadres at the division level or even above the army level, and what kind of treatment can they not enjoy at this time?

However, due to the lack of houses on the mountain, the old people of the grandparents in the village cannot come to the mountain to enjoy happiness for the time being, and "the revolution has not yet succeeded, and the comrades still need to work hard." They still have to develop the economy as soon as possible and strive to build more houses so that they can bring the remaining old people over.

For the nests of wild bees that were brought back from the mountains, Zhou Yu fed the space water at the beginning, otherwise there would not be so many young bees. After seeing the effect, Zhou Yu increased the frequency of feeding the space water. In particular, the two nests of purple-striped bees took special care of them, and from time to time they also got some space liquid for them to drink.

While the purple-veined bee colony was rapidly expanding, several queen bees also increased their spirituality, and established a deep human-animal friendship with Zhou Yu. While working hard to give birth, the worker bees are driven out more frequently to collect honey, so that they can get more space liquid from their owners to strengthen their children.

Zhou Yu even has an ambition to industrialize the cultivation of purple bees. The income will definitely not be lower than the income of the dragon carp. In addition, there are flowers on Phoenix Mountain all year round, and even in winter, the grass is green. With red flowers and willow green, this is definitely an ideal beekeeping place. Now the two queen bees are gradually becoming spiritual. At that time, as long as you control the queen bee, it will be an easy thing for you to keep bees.

On the second day of coming to Phoenix Mountain, the old men on the mountain asked the juniors to prepare the materials according to the production method of the red clay wine cellar described in the secret recipe, and the wine cellar was finished in the afternoon of the third day, and it should be able to be used after two days of air drying.

Then the fifth master, Wang Yunhai and others studied the secret recipe and process of chrysanthemum wine in great detail, and tried to successfully brew this peerless wine at one time.

With the help of Wang Guilan and her wife, everyone washed the two wine cellars, poured some spring water, and tested it, and after a whole day, there was no drop in the water surface, and they couldn't help but sigh at the power of the ancients.

On the ninth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the sun was sunny and cloudless, and in Zhou Hu's words, it was very windy and sunny.

A big yellow silk cloth banner standing on Phoenix Mountain swished under the blowing of the mountain wind, and there were three big characters written in black and some teeth and claws - Phoenix Mountain.

A few white swans flutter gracefully in the blue sky, and various birds and finches spread their wings and hover around; On the top of the mountain, there is green grass, green trees and red flowers; The surface of more than a dozen ponds is sparkling, pure and transparent; A herd of sika deer grazing leisurely on the green area on the shore......

A simple platform was erected in the open space in front of the pond, and the energetic little black rabbits, wild boars, wild asses, and the brocade-haired Huahua family were all surrounded by garlands, waiting for the chief's review at any time......

Under the painstaking preparation of Zhou Yu and his brothers, the "Chrysanthemum Wine Brewing Pledge Conference" began in this fresh, bright and quite funny atmosphere.

The people who attended the conference were: the eight respected princes of Zhoujiacun, Wang Yunhai, the fifth master, the eighth master, the ninth master and Chef Liu, Zhou Dingguo and Zhou Dingbang, and Wang Zhijiang and his wife.

First of all, on behalf of the elders of Zhoujia Village, Taigong Zhou Shouchang expressed his gratitude to Ergouzi for his great contribution to the economic construction of his hometown, and assured that these old guys would become a solid backer for Ergouzi to continue to move forward, and at the same time put forward ardent hopes for Ergouzi......

Secondly, Zhou Yu, the owner of Phoenix Mountain, made an enthusiastic speech, first expressed his gratitude to the strong support of the older generation of leaders in Zhoujia Village, and said that he had the determination and ability to raise the development of Phoenix Mountain to a great level. Homeopathy will also drive the economic construction of Zhoujia Village.

Zhou Yu's speech was enthusiastic and sincere, and most of the space was devoted to telling the story of the princes who did not hesitate to shed their blood to establish New China. And then what kind of hard work and hard work to build the hometown.

During Zhou Yu's speech, the smiles on the faces of the eight princes never stopped.

Zhou Hu, the emcee and youth representative, solemnly promised: In the future, he will definitely follow the line of the Taigongs, and he will fight wherever the Taigong points out. In terms of economic construction, listen to the words of Brother Ergou. With Ergou Brother as the center, we will vigorously develop the economy of Zhoujia Village, and contribute to the development of Phoenix Mountain and Zhoujia Village into a beautiful and rich ideal home!

After some stirring words, although it was a hot day, Zhou Dingguo, Zhou Dingbang, Wang Zhijiang and Chef Liu all broke out in a cold sweat on their backs.

I've seen shameless, and I've never seen such shameless? Which one did these two guys do? One is faceless and skinless with eight princesses, and the other is unfamiliar with smelly feet. These guys' skin is definitely thicker than the bricks on the city wall!

In fact, the two brothers summed it up two days ago, and seeing that there are more and more old men on the mountain, these old men are not easy to fool. If you hold on to your pigtails, you won't have a good life. The two brothers had to make such a play, the purpose is to please these old men, don't take crutches to teach the brothers at every turn, otherwise what is the meaning of this life?

And for this matter, Zhou Yu also showed his embarrassing Mobao, and the three coquettish characters of "Phoenix Mountain" on the banner were written by him. The eighth master had a toothache all night because of these three words, and said that he would have no face to see people in the future.

After the ceremony, everyone began to brew chrysanthemum wine under the guidance of the fifth master.

Rhubarb rice has been fermented for a long time, and it is almost a kind of thin alcohol, which is a koji made from fermented wild fruits. This time, it's not a little tidy. It fermented 200 catties of rhubarb rice and filled more than 20 large wooden barrels.

The fermentation of other things was carried out in several large oak barrels, which Zhou Yu also bought from the county seat two days ago. At this time, various wild fruits, crushed yam, and a large number of wild chrysanthemums and red petals are mixed together and fermented in oak barrels. Due to the good temperature control, it has now become liquid. It has a strong and slightly pungent smell of alcohol.

The utensils for brewing pine nut wine have long been washed clean, and the three women led by Wang Guilan carried a few bundles of wood and put them aside, and Zhou Dingguo and Wang Zhijiang took the two juniors to step on the ladder and put the fermented rhubarb rice into the heavenly pot. Finally, the clay lid was tightly closed, and a fire was already burning in the pedestal under the vat.

After filling this one day pot. The remaining three large heavenly pots are also similar to the same, and they have been filled with fermented rhubarb rice.

As for the cooling water, which acts as a condensation. Zhou Yu had already built a circulating water pool with cement next to it, and installed a circulating water pump, and placed several large ice cubes in the pool to increase the condensation effect.

The wood was burning in the stove, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, everyone was a little nervous around, after all, this was the first pot of chrysanthemum wine, if it succeeded, it would be fine, if it didn't succeed, it would be too shocking.

After a while, he heard the sound of boiling in the cauldron, and the fifth master hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and start the water pump!" ”

Zhou Hu, who had been waiting next to the water pump, hurriedly pressed the start button, and the condensate began to circulate through the pipe, and after a while, he saw a crystal liquid slowly flowing out of the wine recovery pipe and falling into the wine cellar. As the flow increases, so does the amount of liquid coming out......

The fifth master is pinching the time to control the fire, this thing is always used with a big fire, but it is not good, it is easy to burn the material and produce a mushy smell, which will affect the quality and taste of chrysanthemum wine.

In this way, it took a whole day to distill five cauldrons, and the distilled liquor was filled with a half-cellar and twenty oak barrels. After these liquors were cooled, the fifth master instructed everyone to use a scoop to put the fermented chrysanthemums, wild fruits, etc. mixture into more than a dozen layers of gauze, filtered and poured into the wine cellar and oak barrels according to the proportion, and finally poured ten catties of wild honey......

As for fermentation in oak barrels, I am afraid that if the cellar is not used, all the wine inside will seep into the ground, and everyone will be busy in vain, so I will divide some into the oak barrels, although the taste may be worse, but at least some can be preserved.

Everyone worked together to close the lid of the wine cellar and wiped the joint twice with glutinous rice water and red mud. Oak barrels are simple, just screw the lid shut and you're good to go.

After doing this, everyone took a breath, the chrysanthemum wine has been brewed, and according to the secret recipe, it has to be cellared for a month before drinking, and the success or failure depends on a month later.

In this process, under the frantic entanglement of Zhou Yu and his brothers, the helpless Fifth Master and Wang Yunhai finally agreed to the little brothers and let them fill five barrels of wine and seal it by themselves.

It turned out that the two brothers secretly hid two catties of purple honey, just to taste the taste of chrysanthemum wine using purple honey.

After getting the liquor, the two of them divided the honey into five parts and sprinkled it into the barrel. In order to test the efficacy of the space liquid on winemaking, Zhou Yu secretly dropped a drop of space liquid in two of the barrels, and after getting these, the two brothers sealed the five large wooden barrels and marked them down and stored them.
