Chapter 163: Honey Sweet Honey
It's the busy farming season, and it's been a long time since the grain field has been so lively.
After squeezing a piece of beehive, Qi Zhuang immediately took the remaining other beehive to the cauldron and heated it.
When it was almost heated, he moved the large hive to the large grinding disc and began to crush it.
The pale yellow honey was squeezed, and with a 'poof' sound, it popped out of the hive.
The honey splashed on the ground, attracting many children to rush forward and grab it.
The children dipped their fingers in honey and put it in their mouths, and the sweet taste made their eyebrows smile.
People in Dashan Village rarely eat honey, because the bees in the mountains are very fierce, and picking honey is a very dangerous thing, and it is very likely to kill you!
Since someone was besieged and killed by bees many years ago, the people of this mountain village no longer dare to provoke the beehive.
Even many people have not seen beehives and honey.
For Qi Zhuang and Ruoshui's behavior, they expressed surprise and curiosity.
"It's honey! I remember this taste, my grandfather gave me two bites when I was a child! ”
"I've heard that picking beehives is dangerous and will kill people!"
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't know, you see that people are all right when they pick two beehives that are so big! It shows that it is also very safe to pick honey. "Someone said.
"No, no, no, you're young, and you probably haven't heard about what happened in our village before. Many years ago, it was supposed to be your grandfather's grandfather's generation, and several young men went to pick beehives, only to be besieged by a group of honey and died miserably! It's swollen all over my body, and I'm scared to death! ”
"Yes, I also heard about this matter, when my grandfather was invited to collect the bodies of those people, he was scared half to death after seeing the corpses! I heard that those young men did not die on the spot, and after being bitten, they cried and struggled for a day and a night before they died! It's painful! ”
"Since then, no one has dared to go to the mountains to provoke honey picking beehives!"
caused a burst of embarrassment from everyone.
After a while, someone said: "This honey is a good thing, and it is sold in pharmacies for several taels of silver a catty, and only the big families in the city can afford to eat it!" I didn't expect Qi Zhuang to be able to pick honey in the mountains! ”
"Hey, let's look at the mountains are such a good resource, there are so many beehives in it, but we can't pick them. What a shame! ”
"If you can pick some honey and sell it at the pharmacy, you can make a lot of money." It was said.
At this time, many people bit their lips and had a feeling in their hearts that they were about to move.
Ruoshui and Qi Zhuang were busy with each other, and they didn't listen to everyone's discussions.
Knowing that the sun was setting, they finally squeezed all the honey.
Qi Zhuang originally planned to fetch water to clean the grinding plate, but when he took the things on the grinding plate, the group of children who had been watching pounced on it and licked the honey on the grinding plate.
An old man said: "Qi Zhuang, don't brush this grinding plate, our small mountain village is poor, and children don't have much to eat on weekdays." Just let them lick and play. ”
"Hmm. All right. ”
The cauldron is still hot, and I'll have to wait a while to get it home.
Qi Zhuang first carried two large barrels of honey home, and Qi Zhuang waited in the grain field.
Although the honey squeezing activity has ended, everyone has no intention of dispersing.
They were still chatting around the millstone.
There are even people who plan to go into the mountains to pick honey.
There are timid people who constantly shake their heads and persuade them not to go, which is dangerous.
