Chapter 212: Honey
The two girls didn't start picking peach blossoms until they had had enough.
Xu Qingyan didn't go over to pick up the peach blossoms on the ground, the peach blossoms on the tree were going to fall after all, so why bother to go far.
Moreover, there are thousands of peach blossoms, and picking some from each tree will not damage the beauty of the peach forest at all.
"Pick up the brightly colored ones, and I'll find out where there is a honeycomb and get some honey."
"Then be careful, miss." Lingxian and Zelan only said a word, and then continued to turn their heads to pick flowers
Usually the maid heard that the young lady was going to poke the hornet's nest, but she was frightened, and then desperately stopped her.
Only her maid, hearing that she was going to poke the hornet's nest, could not be calm, and I didn't know whether it was good or bad.
Since the two of them saw the scene of Xu Qingyan killing a snake and saving people, they are extremely relieved of Xu Qingyan's safety.
Such a scary big snake, the young lady can kill it in seconds, and the little bee is naturally not a problem.
Taking the clay pot from Zelan's hand, Xu Qingyan slowly walked towards the east.
She had already used her divine sense to investigate, and a hundred paces to the east, there was a small honeycomb hanging from a tree beside it.
On the peach trees around, there are many bees collecting nectar for pollination.
By this time, all the bees had left the hive, and only an empty hive remained.
Xu Qingyan slowly approached there silently, and with a sweep of her divine sense, she saw that there was no one around, and with a move of her hand, the hive was sucked by her.
Xu Qingyan looked in from the mouth and saw that a lot of honey had accumulated in the bee hole.
Then he turned the bee's mouth down, grabbed the tail of the beehive, and with a movement of spiritual power in his hand, he pressed the honey inside and flowed down.
The viscous and brushed honey flowed to the clay pot in her palm, and a sweet fragrance suddenly overflowed the air.
It wasn't until there was no trace of honey in it that Xu Qingyan put the hive back in its place.
A beehive came down, and the clay pot was less than a third of the place.
If you want to fill two clay pots, you have to find at least six or seven more honeycombs.
As soon as Xu Qingyan's divine sense was revealed, she found another honeycomb thousands of meters away.
Therefore, there are often people walking around in the peach forest, and Xu Qingyan is not easy to use her spiritual power, so she has to run quickly in the forest.
On the way, I also met some young ladies who were playing in the forest with a ring.
When those young ladies saw Xu Qingyan running through the forest like a gust of wind, they all looked at her distant back in amazement.
They have been educated since childhood that they don't smile and can't walk skirts, and which aristocratic lady will run like Xu Qingyan like this.
Although Xu Qingyan ran very fast, they couldn't see their faces clearly, but they could still see from the clothes and fabrics on their bodies that they were by no means Yahuan and the like.
Xu Qingyan ignored the strange gazes of those young ladies and quickly ran towards the target.
After a few breaths, they came to the tree where the hive had been built, but unfortunately the bees in this hive did not leave the nest.
In order to successfully collect honey, you have to get rid of this group of bees.
For ordinary people, this may be difficult, and even if it is done, it is estimated that it will be at the cost of being stung in the face.
However, this matter could not be simpler for Xu Qingyan.
I saw her make a move, and the swarm of bees that were buzzing on the hive smacked and fell backwards towards her.
Seeing that the group of bees had moved away from the hive, Xu Qingyan turned her hand, and those bees formed a bee ball in the air.
Xu Qingyan controlled the bees with one hand, then put the clay pot on the ground and took down the beehive with the other hand.
Then he turned the hive upside down and began to collect honey.
After collecting the honey, Xu Qingyan waved her hand again, causing the hive to fly back to its original place, and then released the bees that were clumped into balls.
Finally, quickly evacuate now, and rush to the next location.
The cycle went on and on, until the two clay pots were filled, and Xu Qingyan left with the clay pots satisfied.
At this time, she did not know how precious honey was in ancient times.
You must know that there was no artificial beekeeping in ancient times, and if you want to collect honey, you rely on wild bees.
Although there are many honeycombs, they are not easy to find, and even if they find it, if they want to collect honey, they have to risk the price of being stung in the face, and some are seriously stung, and they may die because of it.
Therefore, in ancient times, only the nobles could afford to use honey, and because of the scarcity and difficulty in harvesting, the nobles only had a small supply every year.
Honey is generally bought by noble ladies to soak in water, in order to maintain beauty and beauty.
The two jars of honey in Xu Qingyan's hand add up, at least about three catties.
These amounts are a public house, a year's supply.
Honey In this era, there is a metaphor of one or two honey and one or two gold.
Honey also has medicinal value, Xu Qingyan knows this, she has read it in the medical book sent to her by Wu Tianyou.
Honey can be used in medicine for many diseases, such as asthma,,,,,,
She was able to collect so much honey at once, but it was thanks to this peach grove, which bloomed every year, that she was able to attract those honeys to nest here.
At this time, Xu Qingyan was strolling in the peach forest, and the peach blossoms of thousands of trees formed a sea of pink flowers around her.
Just as Xu Qingyan was immersed in the beautiful scenery, a girl in a yellow shirt was hurrying to this side with a maid ring.
"Miss, let's think of other ways, you are looking for the hive like this, let's not say whether you can find it or not, even if you really find it, we can't get it."
Those beehives are built on high places, and their masters and servants can't climb trees, and even if they do, if they alarm the bees, they will be stung all over their faces.....
The girl in the yellow shirt didn't look back when she heard the words: "Let's find it first, there will always be a way." ”
After speaking, she became more and more anxious, if it wasn't for her mother waiting for the honey to be used in the medicine, why would she take this risk and poke the hornet's nest.
Thinking about what the elders in the family said that they would return tomorrow....
This is the only chance she can take it, if she doesn't get honey this time....
The girl in the yellow shirt did not stop, and Yahuan had to follow her closely when she saw this.
Xu Qing was facing the peach blossoms at this time, thinking about what else the peach blossoms could do.
Peach Blossom Nectar, Peach Blossom Wine, Peach Blossom Dew, Peach Blossom Cake, Pearl Peach Blossom Beauty Balm......
A string of names flashed in her mind, Xu Qingyan looked at the peach forest again, her eyes lit up, these are all raw materials!
No, I have to let the fairy and Zelan collect more petals, and even the ones on the ground must be fully utilized.
"Miss, slow down, wait for the slave."
Yahuan's words made Xu Qingyan come back to her senses.
Turning her head to look, she saw a girl in a yellow shirt walking in her direction with her head down, followed by a maid in green clothes.
When Xu Qingyan's skirt corner appeared in the sight of Miss Yellow Shirt, she suddenly paused, and then raised her head.
saw Xu Qingyan facing her, and the girl in the yellow shirt was stunned for a moment before she reacted.
This girl seems to have seen it, by the way, it is the county lord of Le'an, who has seen it at the foot of the mountain before.
Thinking of this, the girl in the yellow shirt hurriedly curtled towards Xu Qingyan and said, "The little girl has seen the county lord. ”
The maid behind her hurriedly saluted.
"Hmm." Xu Qingyan responded indifferently and walked forward.
But suddenly I heard the girl behind me say, "County Lord, please wait." ”
Xu Qingyan turned around and asked puzzledly, "Something." ”
The girl in the yellow shirt stared straight at the clay pot in Xu Qingyan's hand at this time.
It may be that Xu Qingyan is too full, and some honey overflows at the edge of the lid of the jar.
When she saluted and stood up, she saw that the familiar and unfamiliar sweet fragrance should be honey.
"Dare to ask the county lord, what you have in your hand... But honey ......."
"Yes, just picked."
"That ......" The girl in the yellow shirt twisted the corners of her clothes, as if she hesitated, and after a while, she bowed to Xu Qingyan as if she had made up her mind.
Xu Qingyan was startled by her action and leaned sideways slightly.
Why did this girl do such a big salute to her?
"What is the girl's doing?"
The girl in the yellow shirt was puzzled when she heard this: "The little girl has something to ask for, and I hope the county lord agrees." "Then you have to give a salute.
Xu Qingyan hurriedly stopped her: "Don't be busy saluting, let's talk about something first." 2k reading network
