Autumn goes and winter comes.

The weather is getting colder by the day.

My love affair with Ye Qian is getting hotter and hotter day by day.

This winter weekend, I took Ye Qian into the mountains to play.

We rode slowly along the mountain roads in Yaojiagou.

The mountains are overlapping and undulating.

The winter sun is shining warmly.

The mountain road is silent.

In front of an adobe house, a middle-aged mountain folk couple are busy. The man took out the bee board from the hive, and the woman held the basin. Occasionally, the middle-aged woman will come over to help the man when he needs help. Every now and then, I don't see the man showing too much emotion, just staring at his woman silently, and then continuing to take honey.

"How simple, how clear, how sweet their lives," I said, "how simple, how clear, how sweet! ”

"I want to ask you what those barrels are for?" Ye Qian asked curiously.

"That's the native bees," I explained, "the old-fashioned bucket of honey in the deep mountains of the Qinling Mountains is the nectar of the deep mountains, and the local people call it the nectar of the native medicine, because it collects a large number of pollen from precious Chinese medicinal materials, so the nutritional value is extremely high." ”

"Then let's buy some!" Ye Qian thought about it and said.

"Let's see," I said, stopping my motorcycle, "they don't usually sell this honey, they keep it for themselves!" ”

"Can I eat that much honey myself?" Ye Qian asked curiously.

"This kind of native bee doesn't produce much honey," I explained, "and it's also very difficult to get honey, only once a year, which is completely different from the professional beekeepers who go out to catch the flowering season to take honey once a week!" ”

"Oh!" Ye Qian suddenly realized, "Rare things are expensive!" ”

After I parked my motorcycle.

Ye Qian and I walked towards the mud house on the side of the mountain road.

"It's such a coincidence today," I said happily to Ye Qian, "just in time for them to collect honey, and I guess I can sell it to us!" ”

"Let's go check it out!" Ye Qian said with a smile.

At this time, a big yellow dog saw someone approaching and began to bark wildly.

"Uncle!" I shouted.

The middle-aged man heard my shout and yelled at the dog, which immediately stopped barking and began to wagging its tail in circles in front of the uncle.

"Do you sell this honey?" I explained my intention to my uncle.

"No," the uncle affirmed, "it's for us to keep for ourselves!" ”

"Then let's take a look at the scenery at your house!" I pleaded.

"You can look at it," the uncle smiled, "there is no charge!" ”

"Uncle is quite humorous!" I said to Ye Qian with a smile.

At this time, the middle-aged woman put down the basin in her hand, brought two bamboo chairs, and placed them in front of us.

"Your house is a wonderful environment," I praised, "with a river in front and a mountain in the back; Grow vegetables in front of the house and keep bees behind the house. Even the air is so fresh! ”

"The child works in the city," said the aunt with a smile, "and we are reluctant to leave this place!" In this place, we drink the mountain spring water behind the house and eat home-grown grain and vegetables......"

"I envy you so much," I said earnestly, "no wonder the crested ibis chose this place to live!" ”

"yes!" The aunt said proudly, "This is the place where the crested ibis was first discovered." It was 1981, and the only seven wild crested ibises in the world were found here. ”

"I know this," I said with a smile, "because of this, Yangxian, which was once unknown, suddenly became the focus of the world's media attention, and the curtain of the world's crested ibis protection was opened." ”

Auntie smiled and nodded.

"Why don't you sell us some of the honey!" I changed my tone and cut to the chase, "My girlfriend hasn't eaten soil honey yet!" ”

"That's it!" After thinking for a while, the aunt said, "Then I'll give you some!" ”

"I'm sorry," I said hurriedly, "I'll give you a little bit of money according to the market price!" ”

"Then sit there and wait!" The aunt said as she got up and walked to the bee bucket.

I saw my aunt whispering something to my uncle.

The uncle thought for a while, and then nodded reluctantly.

The aunt picked up a basin next to the uncle and walked towards us with a smile on her face.

"This is a honeycomb," said the aunt enthusiastically, "you can taste it!" ”

"The color of this honey is dark brownish yellow," Ye Qian thought about it, "the color is bright, mixed but not turbid, and there is a fresh fragrance!" ”

"Yes," I said earnestly, "because the earth honey is taken once a year, and all kinds of pollen will be available all year round." At the same time as the bee collects honey to build a nest, the soil honey will be produced, coupled with the miraculous fermentation changes in nature, so the soil honey tastes fragrant, this is the original taste of nature, it smells good! ”

"Taste it!" The aunt pointed to the honeycomb in the basin and said.

In the hive, the honey is shiny and plump.

I pulled a piece of beehive and handed it to Ye Qian.

"Is that all you eat?" Ye Qian pinched the hive with her fingers and asked in wonder.

"Yes," I said with a smile, "take the hive and eat it with you!" ”

"Oh my God!" Ye Qian said while eating, "Could it be that all I used to eat was fake honey!" ”

"It's very likely!" I laughed.

"What do you use for honey?" The uncle came over and asked.

"I brought a plastic bottle," I said and hurriedly took out a plastic bottle from my bag and handed it to my uncle, "This can hold 2 catties of water, and the honey concentration is high, it is estimated that it can hold about 3 catties!" ”

"I can only sell you more than 1 catty," the uncle said apologetically, "This can't collect much honey, and our children will come back in two days, and we will keep them and take them away, and we will eat the rest ourselves!" ”

"More than 1 pound is more than 1 pound!" I said with a smile.

The uncle began to fill the bottle with the honey that had been strained by the old-fashioned press.

When he was about halfway filled, his hand stopped, and after a little hesitation, he continued to fill it until the bottle was full.

"I'd better fill it up for you!" Uncle smiled and said, "Our children are about the same age as you, and I think of them when I see you!" ”

"How much will I give you?" I asked hurriedly.

"Just look at it," the uncle said indifferently, "It doesn't matter if you have more or less, we're not in business!" ”

"Then give 100 yuan!" I said and pulled out 100 yuan, "Maybe it's a little less, but we only brought 100 yuan!" ”

"Enough, enough," the uncle said busily, "do you have plastic bags?" If you have one, put some of this honeycomb and eat it! ”

"There's a bag," I said, pulling out the plastic bag I had prepared and starting to pack the hive, "this one is so delicious!" ”

Aunts and uncles looked at us with a smile.

We waved goodbye.

"Is it too much money or too little?" Ye Qian asked as she walked.

"Give less," I said seriously, "according to the market price, it should be around 150 yuan, provided there is no adulteration!" I don't have change, I can't give 200 yuan, and I give 100 yuan less! ”

"This honey is really fragrant," Ye Qian pursed her lips and said, "I still have a sweet taste in my mouth!" ”

"Actually, the way to master success is very simple," I said deeply, "just turn the good of others into your own!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Ye Qian asked in wonder, "I'm talking about honey!" ”

"I'm talking about honey, too," I said seriously, "and at a banquet several people of different nationalities are vying to boast about their national traditions by borrowing their own national wines: the Chinese have brought out Moutai, the Russians have taken out vodka, the French have brought out champagne, the Italians have taken out wine, the Germans have taken out whiskey, but the Americans have taken a glass, poured out all the various liquors they have taken out, mixed them together and said: 'This is called a cocktail, and it embodies the American national spirit - to learn from others, to create comprehensively!'" ’”

"You're not talking about honey," Ye Qian laughed, "You're talking about wine!" ”

"The bee trail seeks the pollen of the nectar brews," I said with a deep face, "and the success of an invincible person is that he is able to pursue the essence of beauty, and to transform all the advantages of others into his own." ”

"Oh!" Ye Qian suddenly realized, "I see! You're talking about honey, not wine! ”

"Brew our own honey," I said affectionately, "the honey of career, the honey of love!" ”

"Sweet love!" Ye Qian smiled.

"Look at that aunt and uncle," I said, smiling, "and their love is sweet love!" ”

"Yes," Ye Qian said emotionally, "Sweet love is an emotional fate, it is a combination of hope and love, just like a sweet love song, it can be sung to the earth!" ”

"Sweet love, also like a poem," I said affectionately, "is a heartfelt love poem that we can recite with our lives." ”

"Sweet love," Ye Qian said with a smile, "it has no reason, no premonition, a chance encounter, the flower of love will bloom brilliantly; All the past, turn into the background, all the passion, inspire together. For this kind of fate, you can love without regrets, and you can love until the earth is barren and the sea is dry and rotten. ”

"Sweet love," I said with emotion, "is warm, romantic, and a lot of affection is given inadvertently; Sweet love is a feeling, a heartbeat, a heartbeat of two people together; Sweet love is an art that can decorate the ordinary and simple soul; Sweet love is everywhere, and its shadow is everywhere in life; Sweet love is an attitude, a positive attitude towards life, so that we can feel the beauty and happiness of life. ”

"Yes," Ye Qian said with a smile, "True sweet love will not change because of the length of time, because of tolerance and forbearance, because of understanding and care, because of love and cherishment, everything becomes eternal." ”

"The longer it is stored, the sweeter it tastes," I chimed in, "just like this earthy honey!" ”

Ye Qian smiled.
