Chapter 117: The Magical Reed
Qian started to do things very seriously, and after being busy for more than an hour to make up the pillow, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that she couldn't do it, and her original confidence disappeared without a trace.
Helplessly, she went to the pillow again.
"What did you do with all the effort to make it up?" Liu Junhao hurriedly stopped.
"I was going to give it away, but how can I give it away like this." Zhang Qian gestured to the pillowcase in frustration and said, "Why don't you wait for you to make two for me, I'll give them away in two days?" ”
"Two, for whom?" As soon as he heard that he was going to knit two, Liu Junhao immediately knew that he was making himself amorous.
"To my parents, I've been working for more than a year, and I haven't bought them a decent gift. Originally, I wanted to knit two pillowcases by hand to express my heart, but my hands were too clumsy to do anything, and I didn't make any progress after a few days of studying. ”
Hearing her say this, Liu Junhao's heart was balanced. Give it to the old man's mother-in-law, this is also filial piety.
"How clever are your hands?" Zhang Qian grabbed his big hands and put them together, and then sighed in admiration, "I said that my hands are white, your hands are whiter and more tender than mine, and they are so slender, it must be good to play the piano." ”
"Pull it down, as long as I still play the piano with my hand, there will be no one in our family who plays the piano in the eighth generation." Liu Junhao took advantage of the situation to hold her little hand. In fact, his hands are not thin, but the palm is large, and now the hands of the two are together, and the difference is almost doubled.
After such a comparison, Jun Hao really showed that his hands were much more delicate than before, and the scar on the ground on his fingers became very light, and if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't see it at all.
He still remembered the origin of the scar. It is a place left when I was in the second grade of elementary school. At that age, they all used pencils to write. At that time, the quality of the knives was poor. The back of the knife is made very thin. After only a few sharpening of the pencil, the pencil will crack. As a result, students basically don't buy knives. It is usually sharpened with a sickle or kitchen knife.
This thing is also considered a murder weapon. At that time, the teacher was afraid that something would happen. It was stipulated that students were not allowed to carry sickles to school. He himself put a scythe on the podium. If necessary, hand it to the student.
Once, Liu Junhao and a classmate in the class wanted to sharpen pencils with a sickle at the same time. And he got it first. The classmate kept urging from the side. Liu Junhao was in a hurry. Excessive force. Cut the pencil directly. The hand was also cut in a large piece. At that time, the bones could be faintly seen.
The teacher was terrified when he saw that his hands were covered in blood. Hurriedly asked a few students to go outside to collect some herbs to stop the bleeding. It took two large clusters of prickly foot buds in a row to stop the bleeding.
Later the wound healed though. But it left a scar. It can't be eliminated.
Didn't expect to pay attention during this time. The scar was gone. This spring is a real wonder.
"Why not, if we have a child in the future, I will let ......" Zhang Qian suddenly blushed halfway through speaking, struggling to pull out her little hand.
"What are you afraid of, there are no outsiders" Liu Junhao said this, Zhang Qian no longer twitched, but she also lowered her head and did not speak.
"What pattern do you say you'll weave on the pillowcase when it's ready?" He digressed again.
"Hmm...... Both of them are blessed with peace. My mother believes in this the most, and every year she goes to the temple to ask for a peace charm, and the family also writes a few such words. Zhang Qian was originally going to think of some more novel words, but after thinking about it for a long time, she felt that there was no suitable one, and in the end, these four words were appropriate.
A sentence of peace is a blessing, which is the best blessing for the elderly!
"Let's go outside in the sun, it's a pity that the good sun doesn't take advantage of it." After staying at the computer for a while, Liu Junhao couldn't sit still. So they discussed moving chairs and sitting in the courtyard to bask in the sun.
Zhang Qian was still holding a copy of "Reading" in her hand to read it, but she was illuminated by the warm sun, and her thoughts slowly rose.
Turning his head, he saw Liu Junhao leaning on the back of the chair, tilting his face and closing his eyes, completely enjoying himself. She was also immediately interested, closed the book, looked at the high blue sky, and enjoyed the spring that was about to be lost.
Half-lying like this, doing nothing, it seems that the whole person has become ethereal and flat.
Just as she was wandering in the world, Zhang Qian suddenly heard a buzzing sound in her ears. She turned her head to look, and suddenly jumped up from her chair in fright, picked up the book and hit it, and shouted "bees, bees"
"It's okay, it must have been attracted by watermelon seedlings in the backyard."
"Hey, Liu Junhao, look, the morning glory is blooming, so big." Zhang Qian's eyes kept following the bees, and suddenly a purple morning glory bloomed on the edge of the fence wall, and she excitedly picked up her mobile phone to take a photo.
It's only the end of May now, and I didn't expect the trumpet flowers in my yard to bloom, which should have been five or six days in advance. Liu Junhao was pondering, and Zhang Qian screamed "wow" over there.
"What's the matter, this surprise?"
"Come and see, there are so many bees, fifty or sixty of them are crawling on the reeds, there must be a honeycomb here."
"Honeycomb?!" Liu Junhao didn't believe that there would be a honeycomb in his yard?
He looked over and saw forty or fifty bees crawling on one side of the sunny reed stack, many of which were drilling in and out of the reed pipes. The bee was relatively large, fat, and slightly clumsy. If you look at the dark color, you know that it belongs to the earth bee.
"You get one and see what they're doing?" Zhang Qian's curiosity also continued to grow.
The reed stacks were cut from the river beach with Professor Zhao last time, and after they were dried a few days ago, he piled a lot of them at the base of the wall, ready to wait for the lack of firewood.
What the hell is going on, is there really a hive? Liu Junhao cautiously looked at the reed stack, but after looking at it for a long time, there was no place for the hive, only to see bees constantly burrowing into the reeds, and after a while, they came out again.
"What are they doing, aren't they nesting?" Zhang Qian looked quite confused.
"Unclear" This phenomenon is also the first time Liu Junhao has seen it. What made him even more strange was that there was a bee that was now spitting something on the reed pole, but when he looked closely, he was sealing the hole with wet mud.
Liu Junhao waited for the bee to fly away, and immediately broke off the reed pipe.
The two men left with the reed pipe like thieves, and only after reaching a safe distance did they break the reed pipe.
"Huh...... It's honey! "Two people stayed again.
A special fragrance of honey emanates from the section of the reed pipe, and the open reed pipe is filled with particles slightly larger than soybeans, which are neatly arranged one by one, shining a little shiny in the sun. After a rough count, there were more than 20 grains.
"Can you eat this?" Qian asked with emotion.
"I'll taste ......," Liu Junhao pinched and put it in his mouth.
Immediately the mouth became sticky, and then a sweetness raged on the tongue, even sweeter than the honey of wild bees.
"It's delicious, you taste it" He also let Zhang Qian pinch one.
Zhang Qian was also full of praise after eating, and even said that she wanted Liu Junhao to get some more.
"What are the two of you secretly eating?" As he was talking, Mr. Wang's voice came from the door. It's noon, so she came to pick vegetables.
"Aunt Wang, you taste it, this is the soil honey we just appeared, it tastes very sweet" Liu Junhao hurriedly handed over the reed pipe.
"Is this honey, how do I look at it?" Mr. Wang pinched one with some confusion, and then praised it again and again.
However, when Zhang Qian asked what kind of honey land this was, Mr. Wang didn't even know what kind of honey land, and called her husband over through the courtyard wall. Professor Zhao has been dealing with fruit trees, and may know the origin of this bee.
Professor Zhao also saw this situation for the first time. In his words, there are 10,000 or 20,000 species of bees known in the world, and there are more than 1,000 species in China alone, and he doesn't know what kind of bee it is.
Although the type of bee is uncertain, it does not hinder the enthusiasm of everyone to eat honey. At the instigation of the three of them, Liu Junhao risked being stung to break a few reeds.
Not surprisingly, it was full of yellow and clear honey. They poured them into the bowl one by one as if they were peeling broad beans, and finally made a small half bowl, and of course they collected a lot of milky white bee pupae.
At the suggestion of Professor Zhao, Liu Junhao poured a small cup of honey for everyone, and after the pale yellow honey was placed in the water, it quickly flowed away at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the teacup was plated with a little light yellow.
Take a sip gently. The sweet aroma of honey, mixed with the fragrance of reeds and flowers, penetrates into the heart and lungs. can't help but make people's teeth and cheeks fragrant, and their hearts are intoxicated......
The small half bowl of bee > naturally asked Mr. Wang to take it home, because Liu Junhao was a little chilled when he saw the thing wriggling inside, and he didn't dare to eat anything.
Professor Zhao only said that he would not enjoy it, and that this honey was a high-end tonic. Said that it would be ready to be sent over for a while, and they would definitely want to eat it.
Liu Junhao originally thought that he was just talking, but who knew that he really came over with a small half bowl at noon.
Looking at the golden bee chrysalis, the two of them didn't dare to taste it at first, until Professor Zhao gave a demonstration, and Liu Junhao used chopsticks to put a few in his mouth.
It's crisp and fragrant, and it's absolutely delicious.
After he nodded, Zhang Qian also tried to pick it up with chopsticks.
They had thought that the bees would leave the ground without the honey, but in the afternoon they saw hundreds of bees crawling up and down the reeds, apparently transporting honey to the inside.
After a closer look, there are really a lot of bees crawling around the reed stack. Now that it's good, you can have honey to eat often in the future. Liu Junhao thought again: In fact, it is not good to raise some bees by yourself. The stone lock is a confined space, and it is perfect for raising native bees.
Thinking of this, he secretly looked at the stone lock again, and only after a day, a dozen bees that had been thrown in at the beginning had actually built a hive, and they were busy on the quail egg-sized hive.
This now made Liu Junhao even more excited, thinking that he had something in his heart, and Shi Suoli realized it for himself. It seems that this native bee does not need to be kept in a stone lock, how good it is to raise bees directly.
However, there are too few flowers in this space, and I don't know if I can meet the needs of these bees. After all, they have to build a hive to produce > land, and when the bees become more and more, they will have to plant more flowers and plants.
Soil bees and bees are raised together, and you can eat two kinds of honey at the same time.
(3188 words in the text, the following does not count the number of words)
The bees in the stone lock are worker bees, which can lay eggs without a queen bee, but only male bees hatch. Drones don't have enough to collect honey.
This bit of information was only found after someone mentioned it in my review yesterday.,I only knew how to catch bees and eat honey before.,Didn't pay attention to this common sense.,Hehe.。
What is written in the article is what I "took for granted" when I was a child, and at that time I thought that I could raise bees by getting some worker bees, but every time I was unsuccessful, and I only know the reason today
