According to Yao Jingjing's plan, they went to the town on Saturday morning to catch the market, had lunch at noon, and in the afternoon Sergei and Yao Jingjing went up the mountain to pick wild honey. The two were fully armed, each wearing a bee hat, thick gloves, long clothes and trousers, Sergei also carried an axe, and Yao Jingjing carried a shotgun.

"Sergey, do you know how to pick wild honey?"

"I picked it when I was a child, but after decades, I forgot it."

"I watched a video of picking wild honey on the Internet, and it wasn't very difficult, I guess we were fine." Yes, Yao Jingjing has made a strategy on the Internet, and she is still very confident.

"Wild honey is generally in the woods, and the low ones are easy to do, and the high ones are a bit troublesome. Which of us can climb a tree! ”

This is indeed a problem! Yao Jingjing thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it for the first time, let's go to the low tree hole first, and then talk about the high tree hole later." ”

Sergei nodded in agreement, and as he walked, he caught a glimpse of a tree hole not far away, and there was grass growing outside the tree hole, and the eyes of the two suddenly lit up, expecting that there should be a beehive inside.

The two approached and looked closely, and it was expected that there must be a beehive in the tree hole, Sergei picked up the axe and began to cut under the tree hole, cutting the tree carefully, not to destroy the beehive. After about ten minutes of cutting, the beehive in the tree hole was gradually revealed, but more and more bees flew out of it. Seeing this, Yao Jingjing hurriedly took out a bundle of licorice prepared from her backpack, took out a lighter and lit it, and smoked the beehive with smoke to force the bees to fly away.

Seeing that he was almost done, Sergei threw down his axe and began to carefully pick the nest honey with his bare hands, placing it in the prepared bag. Sergei was very careful, trying not to damage the nest honey, and broke off the whole piece, which is the best quality. When the harvest was almost done, the two continued to look for the next tree hole.

By the time it got dark, the two had filled more than a dozen bags and returned with a full load.

In the evening, Yao Jingjing stewed pork ribs for Sergei, and the couple feasted happily at the table.

"We had a good harvest today, and the process went smoothly, and I wasn't stung." Yao Jingjing laughed, she was very excited, she finally did something she had never done before, and she succeeded, how could this not make people happy.

"Haha, it's okay, Jingjing, are you planning to go to the market tomorrow and sell this honey?"

"That's what I thought, sell it for the first time and see how it goes. By the way, Sergey, how do you think we set the price? ”

"This is easy to do, let's follow the market situation, see what price others set, let's set what price, don't break the rules, can't set too high, of course, can't set too low."

Yao Jingjing nodded in agreement, just here, you can't offend people, just follow the crowd.

The next Sunday, early in the morning, Sergei and Yao Jingjing took a dozen bags of honey they picked yesterday and went out to the market.

There are many merchants selling honey in the town, everyone has their own fixed stalls, the two of them came here for the first time, they can't grab other people's places, after checking around, they finally stopped in an open space at the end of the street, unlike other vendors who have cars and tables, Yao Jingjing had to spread a piece of cloth on the ground, put the dozen bags of honey on it, and the two sat on the ground.

Yao Jingjing wanted to sell, but was stopped by Sergei, because there was no vendor on the street who was selling along the street, and if they did this, it would be very abrupt, and it would be easy for other vendors to be disgusted and become the target of public criticism.

Honey is divided into liquid honey and nest honey, liquid honey is processed, the most circulating on the market is liquid honey, and nest honey is cut directly from the hive, Yao Jingjing They sell nest honey, and it is pure wild nest honey. It stands to reason that wild honey should be more expensive than farmed honey, but Yao Jingjing is selling it for the first time after all, and they don't dare to ask for too high a price, so they simply ask for the same price as farmed honey. A bag of nest honey is about a kilogram and costs 190 rubles, which is equivalent to about 19 yuan.
