Chapter 656: Farewell My Concubine

When Chen Duofu went to open the beehive and take the bee spleen in full gear, Gao Yue and Lin Ye only felt that it was not easy to do this work, wearing such a tight dress on a hot day, not only was it stuffy, but there was also a risk of being stung by bees.

But when they saw Gao Mingcheng just go over to open the beehive, and a swarm of bees flying around him, Gao Yue and Lin Ye were stunned.

Especially when they saw a bee landing on Gao Mingcheng's body, they gasped one after another.

Gao Yue wanted to remind Gao Mingcheng to be careful, but he saw that Gao Mingcheng didn't care and walked towards the honey shaker with his honeycomb, and in the process of walking, most of the bees did not follow, but still gathered around the beehive, as if guarding their home.

A small number of bees still stayed on the bee spleen, which was gently brushed away by Gao Mingcheng with a brush, and then the beeswax on the honey spleen was cut with a honey cutting knife.

Gao Yue didn't dare to speak the whole time, although he also played in the mountains and rivers in Gaojia Village when he was a child, but because he was stung by a bee when he went to dig bird eggs on the tree when he was a child, since then, he is a little afraid of bees and wasps.

Seeing Gao Mingcheng's calm face, Gao Yue couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, amazing!

Lin Ye was even more shocked, and he asked in surprise, "Is this ...... Why don't bees sting you? Aren't you afraid? ”

Gao Mingcheng smiled and said, "I was also stung at the beginning, but then I raised it for a long time, maybe I recognized the master?" Anyway, I haven't been stung again, anyway, it's the same sentence, don't deliberately provoke bees, bees generally don't take the initiative to attack people. ”

"Alright, you two hurry up and shake the honey! After finishing the work, I will send two catties of honey to each of you! Gao Mingcheng immediately Huang Shiren got on and began to shout that two Yang Bailao were working.

But they are not Yang Bailao, now the market price is seven yuan for a pound of honey, and two catties are also fourteen yuan, this salary, put in the county, that is quite good.

Of course, after these honeys are sold to Fan Chengyao, Fan Chengyao can sell them for sixty or seventy yuan a catty, and some high-quality ones can be sold for a high price of 100 yuan a catty after being packaged in luxurious packaging.

It is said that gold is priceless and jade is priceless, in fact, honey is the same, its price, is very affected by market publicity, if you boast of it, what is hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, you have to climb dozens of meters high trees to get honey, or climb the cliff with bare hands, go through danger to obtain the cliff honey and so on.

This routine is similar to bird's nest.

Gao Mingcheng and Chen Duofu were in charge of taking the bee spleen from the beehive, Gao Yue and Lin Ye took turns in charge of a honey shaker, and Chen Dasong and Chen Duoxi took turns in taking charge of a honey shaker.

After assigning tasks in this way, everyone can get to work in an orderly manner.

Lunch was eaten at Chen Dasong's house, which was prepared by Aunt Liu and her daughter-in-law, and in addition to the common seasonal vegetables in the field, a large plate of loaches was fried.

After the loach is fried, it is fried with chili peppers, which is a good dish to accompany the meal.

These loaches were caught by the Chen family when they were working in the fields a while ago, and they were raised in clean water for a few days, and after spitting out the sediment, they could be eaten slowly.

Because of the large number of beehires, they can't finish so much work in one day, and they have to continue to work the next day, so Gao Mingcheng and the three of them have to stay in the village for one night.

Fortunately, it was summer, so there was no need to prepare anything, after dinner, Gao Mingcheng took his three sets of old clothes and took Gao Yue and Lin Ye to the largest reservoir in the village to take a bath.

There is a pond at the foot of Xiaofushan, but after the pond was planted with lotus roots this year, it was not so easy to bathe, so Gao Mingcheng took people to the reservoir.

In addition to bringing clothes, soap and laundry detergent, Gao Mingcheng also deliberately brought a bucket of water.

The reason is naturally to see if you can catch some fish and shrimp by the way.

The largest reservoir in the village covers a wide area, the surrounding water level is also shallow, there are a lot of lush aquatic plants, it is the favorite place for fish and shrimp to stay, if the people in the village want to engage in fish and shrimp, they must give priority to this reservoir.

The other two reservoirs in the village are relatively small and the water level is deep, although there are fish and shrimp in the water, but it is not easy to get them.

However, the two reservoirs are close to the old village, and if the people in the old village are pure bathing, they must be bathing there.

However, the largest reservoir is close to Niuweiling, and if you walk from Gao Mingcheng's house, it is much closer than going to the two reservoirs in the old village.

Gao Yue was looking forward to it, with a smile on his face.

He had long wanted to swim happily, but unfortunately he never had a chance.

Several of the family's dogs also followed behind them, making the three of them walk out of the momentum of a team.

When they arrived at the reservoir, Gao Mingcheng saw that there were already people in the reservoir, so they avoided others and chose a place where no one was in the water.

After a day's work in the mountains, the clothes on their bodies were already dirty, and the three of them didn't pay attention to any privacy, so they took off their clothes directly, and then wet the dirty clothes, poured laundry detergent, rubbed them slightly, and threw them on the shore for the time being.

Gao Mingcheng said: "Let's touch the fish first, see who touches the most fish!" ”

"Okay!" Gao Yue and Lin Ye readily agreed.

Lin Ye can also swim, although he rarely swims in the reservoirs in the countryside, he is not afraid, because he knows that Gao Yue and Gao Mingcheng have good water properties.

The three of them dispersed and began to fish on the shore.

The water on the very edge was only twenty or thirty centimeters deep, and the person was standing in the water, not yet up to his knees. If the water is deeper, it will reach the thighs.

Xu was naked, and the three of them tacitly walked to the position where the water level was deeper, so as not to let the big bird sway, which was quite indecent.

Gao Mingcheng has a good ability to touch fish with one hand, but unfortunately this skill is rarely used, and now it doesn't seem to be easy to use, he touched the water for a while, but he didn't find the feel, and there were a few times when he obviously touched the fish, but the fish ran away slippery.

He took a deep breath and continued to touch, and after a while, he finally found his touch, and when he felt a fish touch his hand or leg, he instantly caught it, and soon, a pair of large hands tightly caught a live fish.

With his feel, Gao Mingcheng guessed that this fish was about more than half a catty, which was a relatively large fish.

When the fish was taken out of the water, Gao Mingcheng saw that it was a black fish.

The black fish is relatively slender, covered with tiny scales, and it is also slippery, so it is difficult to catch it without great effort.

Although the black fish has spines, the nutritional value is good, so I took it!

Gao Mingcheng caught the black fish with both hands, walked towards the position of the bucket on the shore, and saw that Gao Yue and Lin Ye were still trying to touch the fish, it should not have been harvested yet, so he showed his loot: "Hey! See what I caught? A black fish! Haven't you caught it yet? Come on! ”

Gao Yue and Lin Ye looked up at him one after another, and when they saw the black fish in his hand, their faces showed a trace of envy.

"Oops, a fish bites my foot!" Lin Ye exclaimed, and his feet standing in the water immediately moved, driving away the fish.

Gao Yue couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw his movements, and said, "There is a fish biting your foot, why don't you hurry up and catch it?" Okay, Mingcheng has caught one, and the two of us are going to come on! ”

Gao Yue no longer looked at Gao Mingcheng's stunned expression, and continued to catch fish seriously.

This technique was mastered by him when he was a child, but he hasn't used it for a long time now, so he is a little rusty, but he is not in a hurry, and slowly finds his touch.

The sun is shining in the west, and the sunset is about to set, which is the most gorgeous time of the day, and the wind and clouds are moving, bringing people a mysterious and brilliant scenery.

Gao Mingcheng took the black fish, did not completely walk to the shore, but threw it into the bucket on the shore when it was a few meters away, and the black fish was accurately still put into the bucket.

There was a crackling sound in the barrel, and it seemed that the blackfish wanted to jump out, but unfortunately it failed in the end.

Gao Mingcheng walked into the water and continued to concentrate on catching fish.

Catching fish with friends is not a tiring job, but a relaxing recreational activity, although everyone is a little competitive, but there is no task requirement, and you can catch as much as you can.

After the first fish got started, the situation seemed to be getting better, Gao Mingcheng caught fish one after another, but most of the fish in the back were relatively small, some were too small, Gao Mingcheng was unwilling to ask for it, and just let them go.

In the west, the sunset disappeared little by little, and the sunset seemed to gradually lose its color, and finally turned into a touch of orange and spread across the western sky.

The orange-red light reflected in the sky seemed to divide the line of dusk, faintly lit and dark.

Such a beautiful scenery, but no one in the village appreciates, the villagers who have worked all day, the happiest thing at this time is to drink two or two rice wine, chat with people and brag.

And a few people in the reservoir are all focused on catching fish at this time.

Gao Mingcheng's hand was like a net, and he quickly caught a small half bucket of fish.

Dogs such as the Black Tiger and the Elf remained on the shore, seemingly cheering them on, but from time to time they looked down in the grass for something, and occasionally barked a few times.

"Haha! I've caught a fish! It's a crucian carp! Lin Ye laughed loudly, he had finally caught a fish!

Lin Ye straightened up in a good mood, because he had bent over for a long time, and when he straightened up suddenly, his body could feel obvious soreness.

This little crucian carp is not easy to get!

Lin Ye sighed in his heart, grabbed the little crucian carp and walked towards the bucket on the shore.

It's just that when he saw the fish in the bucket, the little excitement in his heart disappeared.

This is really more human than human...... I'm so angry!

Lin Ye was a little deflated, he hung his head, he didn't even want to catch fish.

Just as he hesitated, his eyes suddenly saw something, and he fixed his eyes and finally saw it clearly.

"Mingcheng! There are soft-shelled turtles! It's huge! Lin Ye's first reaction was to shout Gao Mingcheng, Gao Mingcheng's strength was beyond doubt.

Gao Mingcheng heard the shouting and immediately swam in the direction of Lin Ye.

Soft-shelled turtles are used to coming out at night to feed, and it is now normal to have soft-shelled turtles in the grass on the shore.

Gao Yue also looked towards where Lin Ye was, he didn't rush over to catch the soft-shelled turtle, but advised: "Be careful, don't be bitten by the soft-shelled turtle, if the soft-shelled turtle bites something, it will be difficult to let go!" And the more you pull the soft-shelled turtle, the tighter it bites! ”

"Scared!" Lin Ye was startled, for fear that he would be bitten by a soft-shelled turtle.

Gao Mingcheng's speed was very fast, but the soft-shelled turtle was originally staying in the shallow water on the shore, and at this time it seemed to sense something, and suddenly swam away, and seeing that it was about to swim away in an instant, Gao Mingcheng quickly grabbed the hind legs of the soft-shelled turtle.

The soft-shelled turtle's teeth are quite powerful, and Gao Mingcheng didn't want to be bitten by the soft-shelled turtle, so he chose to start from behind.

It's just that he is fast, and the soft-shelled turtle is also fast, and it slipped away from his hand at once.

If this is a small soft-shelled turtle, then Gao Mingcheng will forget it, but it is really a big soft-shelled turtle!

Although the light began to dim, Gao Mingcheng still saw the size of the soft-shelled turtle clearly, and he estimated that it weighed two or three catties!

You know, this is a wild soft-shelled turtle, the bigger the soft-shelled turtle, the older the year, the better the meat! Especially the gelatinous texture of the soft-shelled turtle skirt, the taste is very Q elastic.

Gao Mingcheng's eyesight is good, staring at the soft-shelled turtle, one person and one soft-shelled turtle staged a game of you run and I chase, and in the end, the unlucky soft-shelled turtle did not escape the iron claws of the ruthless man and was caught hind.

The soft-shelled turtle's feet can be retracted, but Gao Mingcheng's hand is strong, so it can't retract it, so it turns its head and tries to bite Gao Mingcheng, but its neck is short and small, so it can't bite.

"Caught!" Gao Mingcheng really took a lot of effort to catch this soft-shelled turtle, and after catching it, he smiled extremely satisfied.

He weighed the weight and felt that it was about three catties or more, which was a very good size.

In the future, such a heavy wild soft-shelled turtle can be sold for a good price.

Gao Yue and Lin Ye also came over to take a look, and felt that it was indeed very good to be able to catch such a large soft-shelled turtle.

Gao Yue said: "There are still a lot of fish in this big reservoir, and the two reservoirs in the old village, even if there are soft-shelled turtles, they must be about half a catty!" ”

Gao Mingcheng agreed with this, he put the soft-shelled turtle in the bucket, and saw that there had been a lot of harvest, and the sky was completely dark, so he said: "It's almost, let's take a bath!" ”

Although Gao Yue didn't catch much, he also caught a few fish, and after a while, he agreed to take a bath and go home.

The three of them brought soap, so they took turns washing their hair and bodies with soap, and after washing them, they scrubbed the dirty clothes that were placed on the shore.

This dirty laundry has been soaked in laundry detergent before, but now you can scrub it out by scrubbing it casually, and then swing it in the water a few times, and it will be almost washed.

"Let's go, go home!" Gao Mingcheng wore clean clothes, held a bucket in one hand, and washed dirty clothes in the other, and went home happily.

Gao Yue and Lin Ye followed, and the three of them discussed how to eat this soft-shelled turtle.

Gao Mingcheng said: "Such a good soft-shelled turtle, of course, you have to match it with chicken!" I'll get you a farewell concubine! ”

"Farewell concubine? Wang Ba and chickens? Haha, interesting! Gao Yue reacted and laughed.

The soft-shelled turtle is also called Wang Ba, and it is stewed with chicken, which is naturally the farewell concubine of the overlord.

Gao Mingcheng also smiled, he remembered that in another two years, this dish would be quite popular in Shanghai.

After returning home, Gao Mingcheng asked Gao Yue if he would clean up the soft-shelled turtle, and after getting the answer that he couldn't, he called Gao Yue to go to the chicken coop to catch chickens.

"I'll pack up the soft-shelled turtle, you go catch a hen!" Gao Mingcheng said.

This question Gao Yuehui, he went to the chicken coop with high spirits, and not long after, a hen fell because of a soft-shelled turtle. (End of chapter)
