Chapter Seventy-One: Walking on Chunxi Street
When he got home after eating, Grandpa Xu found a clean enamel basin from the kitchen and washed it out.
He wrapped a towel around his face, revealing only one pair of eyes, and then took out a new pair of cotton gloves and put them on.
Duan Huan was even covered by him with a shirt from his head, which was tightly covered, and his eyes could just look out from the placket of the buttoned clothes.
Grandpa Xu lifted the lid of the broken wooden box, and there were quite a few beehives inside, more than ten large and small, all of which looked like oval cakes.
The large ones have a diameter of thirty or forty centimeters, and the small ones have more than ten centimeters, and they are pasted on the walls of the box layer by layer.
Grandpa Xu carefully broke off the four large beehives, put them in the enamel basin, and immediately closed the lid of the box.
Then he ran back to the backyard with the enamel basin and Huanhuan like a thief.
Grandpa Xu washed his hands again, drove away the bees that were still stuck to the hive, and left a small piece of the hive and stuffed it into Duan Huan's mouth.
The honey with the floral aroma of grapefruit immediately spread in Huanhuan's mouth, and the taste was not as sweet as expected, with a little sour but not astringent, a bit like the natural fruity sourness of citrus.
This is pure honey!
The kind of wild honey that I bought on the Internet in the past, which is said to come from the mountains, will be turned into scum in seconds when compared with this one.
The hive is plucked, but how to filter it is a problem.
Grandpa Xu rummaged through the house and couldn't find a piece of clean gauze.
It is definitely not possible to leave the hive like this, and Wan Huan finally took a piece of moire Luo out of the space and prepared to use it for filtering.
This is still the silk that I bought without a ticket at the overseas Chinese remittance store last year.
It's a bit wasteful to filter honey, but it's still usable to wash it after use.
Now silk is a luxury, but the craftsmanship is still there, as long as there is money, it can be bought.
This can't be compared with the batch of antique silks in the carp bead space, which are all produced by the top craftsmanship in ancient times, and most of the craftsmanship has been lost.
Even if it is not lost, the modern craftsmanship cannot reach the refinement of the handicraft, so it is particularly precious.
Grandpa Xu took the rob that had been washed and cleaned, crushed the beehive and wrapped it inside, and then began to squeeze the cloth hard, and the viscous honey flowed out, and finally only the semi-dry honeycomb remained.
In the end, the pomelo honey in the semi-enamel basin was filtered out, and it was estimated that there were four or five catties.
When the bubbles on it have completely dissipated, the half-amber liquid looks beautiful.
Then put it in a clean canned bottle and you're done with the natural all-green wild honey.
It's good to eat this kind of honey by yourself or give it away.
Grapefruit honey is actually a rare honey species, and the pomelo nectar itself has the health care effects of clearing heat and dissolving phlegm, strengthening the spleen and eliminating appetite, and is very sought after by people who love health.
Huan carefully put the honey into the space, ready to put it up for Grandpa Xu to drink slowly.
Although he is in good health, he used to be an old smoker when he was in the army.
After retiring, I had to take care of the joy of being a baby at the time, so I had to quit, and my throat and trachea were always not so comfortable in autumn and winter.
When the time comes, it is best to have a glass of grapefruit nectar water to moisten your throat and nourish your lungs.
Even the hive was full of joy and didn't let Grandpa Xu throw it away, after spreading it on the paper and drying it, it was a traditional Chinese medicine, which could attack poison and kill insects after grinding, dispel wind and relieve pain.
After drying the hive, Grandpa Xu took Duan Huan to the west gate and went to Fan Congli's house.
The one who opened the door was still the stuffy one last time, and when he opened the door, he opened the door and saw that it was Grandpa Xu, he politely welcomed his grandchildren into the door, and he came back from outside without having to go to Fan Congli for tea as soon as he sat down.
"Ouch~ Uncle Xu! You've brought my granddaughter to see me again! Fan Congli is still a flamboyant mouthpiece.
Grandpa Xu glanced at him with slanted eyes, "What?" You can't even marry your mother-in-law, and you pick up a grandfather, think it's very honorable? ”
"Uncle Xu-" Fan Congli changed from a spring breeze to a frosted eggplant, "I met a few people before, and they all thought I didn't have a serious job, no, I'm preparing to find a job." ”
Duan Huan couldn't help but want to laugh when he looked at his bitter gourd face, it turned out that the big guy was rich and powerful, and there were times when he couldn't find a partner.
In this era, no matter what the family background looks like, if you don't have a job and travel around all day, you are a second-rate child, and in the blind date market, the market is not as good as the rural guy who farms.
Grandpa Xu took a sip of tea and said, "You deserve it, who wants to be with you, a thirty-year-old man, without a serious job!" Young lads are everywhere! ”
Fan Congli was so happy that a pair of phoenix eyes became a slit, and he stretched out his hand and ravaged her face a few times, "Even Xiaoyu'er, you laugh at Grandpa Fan and me!" Isn't it funny? Hmm~"
Only then did Huan react, and quickly pulled out his face and broke free from his claws.
"With the appearance of a perverted uncle like you, surely you can't find a partner?"
Fan Congli looked at the little appearance of Huanhuan's pouting lips, but he was interested in teasing children, "What is a perverted uncle?" Then Xiao Yu'er said, how can Grandpa Fan find your future Grandma Fan? ”
"How do I know? It's not like I'm looking for a partner! ”
Duan Huan rubbed his face, and said that what about the majestic helm handle?
Why do you love to pinch someone's little Lori's face, what is this not a lewd perverted uncle?
Fan Congli immediately wilted again, "It seems that our little fish also thinks that Grandpa Fan can't find a partner!" ”
"You are also a high Chinese credential, and there is no shortage of relationships, what is it difficult to find a job?" Obviously, he doesn't care about it, and the old man pretends to be pitiful to the little girl, and he is not ashamed! Grandpa Xu took a sip of Fan Congli.
Fan Congli was not annoyed when it was exposed, "Our little fish is also a lesbian, it's okay to refer to her opinion!" ”
"Just the way you look like a hanger, just wait to be a bachelor for the rest of your life! No unlucky mother-in-law is used to seeing you like this! Grandpa Xu snorted.
If it is Xu Xiaodao who is happy to raise people, Grandpa Xu is the kind of treasure knife that is not old, and there are legends everywhere on the rivers and lakes.
After chattering nonsense, Fan Congli remembered to ask the right thing, "Uncle Xu, did Xiaochun harvest it in the first half of the year?" Do you have food? ”
"Accept it, how many noodles are you going to want?"
"Is there 20,000 catties?"
"Yes!"
"Uncle Xu, can you get eggs?"
"There are eggs, meat, and poultry, how much do you want?"
"How many eggs are as many as I want, my purchase price is eight cents a pound, duck eggs and goose eggs seven cents,
I don't want pigs for meat, as long as the meat is clean, even two pieces of meat and bones! The noodles are still last year's piece of eight! ”
"Okay, then I'll pick up the goods at the old place tomorrow night!"
After the business was negotiated, Grandpa Xu was ready to go back with Huanhuan, Fan Congli didn't leave them, and it was estimated that he would have to contact the vehicle or something.
Grandpa Xu took Duan Huan on the tram and got off at Chunxi Road.
Now Chunxi Street, there is no way to see the prosperous scene of high-rise buildings in the future, and the tallest buildings are not more than five floors.
Xinhua Hotel, Jincheng Cinema, Jincheng Department Store......
These iconic landmarks of the old Jincheng were only seen in old photos and documentaries in their previous lives, and they felt quite literary and retro at the time.
Perhaps in the minds of the current Jincheng people, Chunxi Street and Yanshi Street are the most foreign places in Jincheng.
But for Du Huan, it is not foreign or earthy, it is better to take a few more steps to go to the ancient Shu Palace.
Grandpa Xu was not in high spirits when he saw that he was happy, so he turned to the corner of Lihua Street and found a small stall selling egg baked cakes to buy egg baked cakes for Huanhuan to eat.
The egg cake seller was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, who cleaned up herself and the guys in the stall.
A honeycomb coal stove, two small pots for egg baking, plus a porcelain bowl of egg liquid, plus a small bowl of shredded potatoes, a bowl of shredded kohlrabi, and a bowl of sour cowpeas.
Egg baked cakes don't cost a dime and don't need food stamps, and Grandpa Xu bought two of each filling, for a total of six cents.
I took a bite of the kohlrabi first, the egg cake was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the kohlrabi was also very spicy and delicious.
I only ate one of each filling, and the rest had to be eaten by Grandpa Xu, but Grandpa Xu had to solve it in two bites.
