Corn flour is actually starch, it stands to reason that wheat flour can also be, but the wheat has not been harvested, and there is no surplus in the village, and it has to be ground into flour, it is not easy to grind wheat into flour at present, there must be a stone mill or a large stone mill, but there is only one stone mortar at home, when you want to eat, put the wheat or soybeans into it and crush it with a wooden pestle, it is completely impossible to lick it into fine flour.

There was no common potato flour in later generations, because potatoes were not introduced to China until the Ming and Qing dynasties, and finally Chen Xu fell on a few yams.

"Mother, you help me peel half a yam, mash it, put it in a clay pot and dry it over low heat and fry it until brown!"

The main ingredient of yam is also starch, and now I don't care about whether there is a conflict of efficacy, let's use it first, and then say that yam is just an ordinary food and medicine supplement, and the medicinal properties are basically negligible, and there is basically no effect if you don't eat thirty or fifty catties.

"Dashi, have you ever eaten honey?" Chen Xu turned his head and asked Niu Dashi, who was sharpening the bamboo tube.

"I've eaten it!" Niu Dashi cut the bamboo tube and said without raising his head.

"Do you have it?" Chen Xu asked excitedly.

"No, I used to find a honeycomb in the tree hole when I was chopping firewood in the mountains, and my father even took the nest back and got a few catties of honey, it seems that you also ate it that time, have you forgotten?" Niu Dashi asked puzzled.

Uh, well, Lao Tzu has eaten but long forgotten!

"Do you remember where that tree hole is?"

"Don't think about it, I've been to see it several times, and there are no bees for a long time!"

Niu Dashi's words directly extinguished Chen Xu's last bit of hope.

"Brother, what are you looking for bees for? I know where there are more bees! Xing'er came back with Niu Dashi's younger brother Niu Xiaochun after feeding the wild boar cubs, and just happened to hear the conversation between the two, so she shouted loudly.

"Where?" Chen Xu stood up excitedly.

"It's on the river beach, near our crops, and in the spring it's full of bees, and I don't dare to go down to the fields with my mother to weed."

"Let's go, follow me to find it!" Before Xing'er finished speaking, Chen Xu pulled Niu Dashi out of the house.

"Brother, wait for me!" When the little girl saw it, she immediately dropped Niu Xiaochun and chased after her buttocks.

At this time, the sun has not yet set, and the river beach is quiet, and the river is rippling.

The three of them ran to the vicinity of the crop field in a breath of breath, looked on the river beach for a long time, and then went down the river beach, and finally saw some bees still flying in a river full of wild flowers, and the three people carefully used wooden sticks to pick up the weeds and thorns that were more than one person deep and drilled into the woods, there were more and more bees in front of them, and the hard work paid off, and after searching for a long time, I finally saw bees coming in and out of the tree hole in a huge wild date tree.

The tree hole is three meters above the ground, and the hole is about a foot in diameter.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!"

Niu Dashi took off his straw sandals very excitedly, spit two mouthfuls of spit into the palm of his hand, rubbed it and climbed up with the trunk of the tree, and soon climbed near the entrance of the cave, and then he didn't care about the threat of being stung by a bee, excitedly put his hand into the tree hole and touched it a few times, and grabbed out a yellow-brown beehive and laughed proudly.

"Brother Xu, I found it, there is a big beehive in it, at least I can make more than ten catties of nectar!"

Looking at Niu Dashi's hive in his hand and still dripping transparent golden honey, Chen Xu's face turned black under excitement, and he pulled Xing'er to quickly hide in the grass and shouted: "Don't break the beehive, just make another piece that is about the same size." ”

"Okay, wait!"

Niu Dashi took the beehive in his mouth in his mouth, then reached out to catch it in the tree hole, and then saw the dense bees gushing out like a spring.

"Woo!" Niu Dashi was estimated to have suffered at least a dozen times in an instant, and he was reluctant to open his mouth, whining in pain and grabbing a large piece of beehive and jumping down from the tree, and the straw sandals were gone, and he covered his head and crawled into the grass to hide.

Looking at the bees that flew out of the tree hole like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed with a stick, Chen Xu pulled his sister and didn't dare to come out, the woods and thorn bushes were full of bees flying back and forth overhead like a sweep, more than ten minutes passed, the sun had set, and the bees slowly flew back to the tree hole after the woods were extremely dark.

"I'll go~" Chen Xu pulled the apricot out of the grass carefully, wiped the sweat on his forehead and glanced at the tree hole with palpitations, plucked the leaves and blades of grass on his body and walked back.

"Wait for me!" Niu Dashi also came out of the nearby grass, but when Chen Xu saw his appearance, his face twitched and he couldn't stop at all.

The shrimp's face was covered with pimples that had been stung by bees, and it had begun to be red and swollen, his eyelids and mouth had become swollen and high, and there were pimples on his arms and bodies that were exposed, and even the corpses of several bees were hanging on his chin, and the tail needles were poked into his flesh, and his intestines were still connected to his body, swinging together.

Wild jujube nectar, this is pure and additive-free real pure wild bee jujube nectar, if you want to put it in the future generations, this thing can't be bought without seven or eight hundred yuan!

Looking at the large bowl of bright red honey squeezed out of the hive, which was more than a pound in size, Chen Xu was so excited that he was almost dying.

After squeezing the honey, the honeycomb was divided by Xing'er, Niu Xiaochun and Niu Dashi, who were gnawing at this time.

Niu Dashi's face was smeared with flowers, but it was more swollen, one eyelid was swollen like a peach, there were big bags all over his forehead and neck, and his cheeks were swollen and high, and his mouth couldn't be closed.

Looking at Niu Dashi's appearance, Chen Xu's face couldn't help but twitch a few more times.

This is the most primitive state of wild bees, and later generations of breeding bees are completely different, not only the size of the bees is a lot bigger, but also full of wildness, strong attack power, toxicity is also very strong, after being stung, the bee venom attacks quickly, the duration is relatively long, and it is possible to die of heart failure after being stung too severe.

(Note: Italian bees are Italian bees, and after the 21st century, the native bees native to China have basically disappeared, and all the Italian bees are imported.) ）

However, after the three of them returned to the river beach, Chen Xu had already dealt with Niu Dashi briefly, first pulled out the bee needle, and then rubbed it with purslane and wild chrysanthemum and wiped it next to each other, if nothing else, after a good night's sleep, it would almost be possible to get up tomorrow morning to reduce the swelling, but it will definitely not be too comfortable tonight.

But now, seeing the strength of this thing to eat the hive, Chen Xu feels sad for the bees who died in order to protect their hive.

It's not worth dying too much, and this thing doesn't react at all except for the first snort.
