Nongmen sisters and brothers are not simple

Chapter 18 Take the Hive

"Look, Auntie." Xie Fanxing pointed to the ancient tree to reveal the hole.

"This."

"This place should be where honey nests." Xie Fanxing pointed to the hole and said to her aunt.

"Yes or not, let's find out by trying it out." As Qian said, she unloaded the panniers, turned them upside down, covered the hole with the pannier, picked up the hoe and knocked on the hole a few times.

After a while, a sound of 'buzzing' came out from the hole, and in an instant, many bees flew out of the hole and fell into the basket.

"The bee's nest is in the tree hole, and the rest will be up to my aunt." Seeing such a bee flying out of the tree hole, Qian didn't know that it was a bee that built a nest in the tree hole. Said with joy.

Xie Fanxing saw that her aunt fetched a piece of handkerchief from nowhere, covered her face, and started to pick up firewood again, intending to smoke the fire later, so as to get the honeycomb.

Xie Fanxing had itchy hands, originally she planned to fetch the hive by herself, but seeing her aunt's high spirits, she let her go.

Compared with eating honey, taking honeycomb is more fun and a sense of accomplishment.

Xie Fanxing saw that her aunt lit the fire skillfully, and it turned into smoke. He took two big leaves and fanned the smoke slowly into the tree hole. After a while, more bees flew out of the tree hole.

However, the tree hole was covered by the basket, and the honey did not fly out.

It also saves you from being stung by bees.

This went on for more than a quarter of an hour, and Qian felt that almost all the bees remaining in the tree hole had flown into the back pan, so she moved the back pan away from the tree hole, continued to cover the bees flying out of the tree hole with the back pan, and waited. After she took out the hive from the tree hole, she released the honey.

After that, Mrs. Qian picked up the hoe and dug a few times towards the edge of the hole. After a while, she saw layers of beehives in the tree hole.

The surface of the hive is yellowish white, and occasionally there is golden yellow honey in the hive.

When Mrs. Qian saw this, a smile appeared on her face. She lay down, reached into the tree hole with one hand, and took out the honeycomb piece by piece, and then carefully put it into the basket.

Qian's hands and feet were quick, and after a while, Qian took out a 11-yuan honeycomb from the tree hole. When Qian saw that it was almost done, she knelt down and looked into the tree hole, and saw that there were still five yuan in it. After the hive, she planned to stop.

She can't do things absolutely, and she knows this.

Now that they know that there is a hive in this place, after these bees build more hives in the future, they will come to harvest again, and so on.From now on, their family will not be short of honey to eat.

"It's almost there, let's go." Qian Shi packed up her things, she said to Xie Fanxing.

Then, he opened the basket that covered the honey, and the honey in it was probably smoked and sick, even Xie Fanxing and the others left without chasing the person who stole the hive.

"Auntie, I found something good again." When Xie Fanxing and Qian Shi went back, Xie Fanxing saw a thick vine growing in the jungle on the left side of the mountain spring, with long yellow bristles all over the body. After she came closer to have a look and saw that it was kudzu root, she said to Qian Shi with joy on her face.

"Any good thing came across again." Qian is in a good mood today. Not only did she find a large area of ​​tea seeds today, she also solved the problem that the two of them will have oil to eat in the future. Maybe they can rely on the tea seeds Selling oil makes money.

I also found a honeycomb, my baby has honey to eat, and after Fanwen drinks the medicine, he doesn't have to suffer haha, there is no sweet thing, and my baby can eat something sweet.

Now when she heard her niece say that she found something good, she was overjoyed.

This is really one is not two, two is not three, good things always come one after another, right?

"Just this thing. Dig the root of this thing. If you dig out this root, you can grind it into flour that is better than white flour. It can be used to satisfy your hunger. This is what I saw in the ancient book I brought back from Cao Bo's house. Otherwise, , I don’t even know about this thing?” Xie Fanxing was afraid that Qian would not understand, so she explained.

"This root can grind out a powder that is more delicious than white flour." Qian's eyes brightened when she heard this, and she touched the leaves of the kudzu root with some strangeness.

Looking at the things in front of him, he was extremely rare.

Now the most they eat every day is porridge and black noodles. Hearing that the roots of the plants in front of them can be ground into flour that is more delicious than white noodles, how can this not surprise Qian.

"We started digging. Fortunately, we brought a hoe, otherwise it would be too much trouble to go back and forth." Mrs. Qian is also a vigorous and decisive person. He immediately put down the backpack, picked up the hoe and started digging.

Qian tentatively dug under the kudzu root vine, and soon she found the direction of the kudzu root. She quickly dug hard, and after a while, a section of kudzu root came out.

To their surprise, this kudzu root has grown here for many years. The root is not only thick and thick, but also long and vertical.

With this digging, several root directions were dug out.

It seems that a lot of kudzu roots can be dug out.

"Is there anything else here?"

"Auntie, just dig it hard. If you break it, we can still use it. Don't worry about it." Xie Fanxing saw her aunt carefully digging up the kudzu root, as if she didn't want to break it. Her aunt had scruples, Xie Fanxing quickly asked her aunt to dig it hard, and it was fine when it was broken.

"What's wrong with me digging it up? I'm exhausted from digging carefully." As Qian Shi said, she saw her strength in her hands increase. Once she exerted force, she dug directly on a section of kudzu root, connecting the I dug the same place a few times, and after it was broken, I picked it up again with a hoe, and the kudzu root was picked up and dug out.

Xie Fanxing at the side picked it up, shook off the dirt, and put it in the back basket.

Don't worry about anything, Mrs. Qian can dig without any scruples, and the kudzu roots are quickly dug out.

"Auntie, don't dig. No matter how much you dig, we won't be able to bring it back. We'll just come back tomorrow." Xie Fanxing saw two kudzu baskets full of kudzu, she told her aunt to stop and go home.

"This kudzu root seems to be endless. Let's dig it again tomorrow. Bring your uncle, your grandma, Fanyue, Fanyang, and Fanyu. We'll dig it all up." Qian wiped his forehead. She was carrying a pannier on her back, and she helped Xie Fanxing lift the pannier to carry it on her back. Before she left, she was reluctant to take a look at the kudzu roots that hadn't been dug.

"The two of us won't come tomorrow. Tomorrow I will teach my aunt how to extract the kudzu root powder from the kudzu root. Let my uncle dig the kudzu root and let him do these things." Xie Fanxing carried a basket on his back and leaned on a Hoe and Qian Shi went down the mountain, and she walked towards Qian Shi while walking.

"It's okay. The honey from the hive will be handed over to my aunt, and I will send it to your home after my aunt finishes taking the honey." Qian was also happy in her heart, and her niece came back from learning something from Cao Xiucai, and she didn't hide it. With their family, they will teach everything that should be taught.
