Chapter 372 Take honey
Chapter 370 Take Honey

Li Junge had never used gauze to get honey with Uncle Medicine Master since he was a child.In the words of Uncle Pharmacist, if you took other people's honey, why don't they sting you twice?

So just do it.A few people dragged a few empty boxes that were sealed all around and put them aside, then Li Junge and Uncle Yaoshi took off the top cover of a beehive and began to shake the honeycomb on the upper layer inside.

This also has a particular technique, Li Junge is obviously not as agile as Uncle Pharmacist.

I saw that Uncle Medicine Master could shake the honeycomb clean a couple of times, then lifted the honeycomb, brushed off the remaining bees with a big brush, and then handed the clean honeycomb to the rest of the people, who inserted the honeycomb into it. In an empty beehive.

Two people lift the spleen, two people release the spleen, and after a while, a beehive is full.

Uncle Dongfang brought the beehive to the side of the shaking bucket, pulled out a spleen, and scraped off the beeswax that the bees used to seal the mouth of the hive with a long knife, and the golden honey inside was exposed.

Insert a piece of honeycomb into one side of the shaking bucket, hold the handle and shake it violently, and the honeycomb will spin wildly in the shaking bucket.

Just like the principle of drying clothes in a washing machine, all the honey is thrown onto the wall of the shaking bucket, and then slowly gathers to the bottom of the bucket along the wall.

When the collection is almost done, pour the honey into a gauze bag and squeeze it into the honey bucket, and filter out the impurities by the way.

Uncle Dongfang said while shaking: "This year's honey is a bit strong! It looks like a box will yield [-] to [-] catties!"

Uncle Huanbang said: "It must be, it has been stored for a long time! I think if I don't take the bees, I will run away in heat!"

Several of them are old partners with Uncle Medicine Master, and they will come to help every time they fetch honey, but they like honey differently from Li Junge, they like the joy of a good harvest.

China is the world's largest beekeeping country and the largest honey production country.

But in this country with the largest honey, everyone is still worried that they can't buy real honey.Li Junge thought it was a joke.

Thinking of this, Li Junge told a few people what he said about honey to A Yin that day, but they all laughed.

Uncle Dongfang said: "I have two knives, and I still teach Ayin, so don't take little Ayin into the ditch."

Uncle Huanbang also laughed and said: "This traditional honey is not your simple method, there are many ways here!"

Uncle Sixin also laughed: "Piwa is pretty good. Last time I watched TV, some brickmakers used the 'dropping method' and 'drawing method' to verify the authenticity of honey. Big teeth almost made me laugh." gone."

Li Junge was surprised: "Could it be said that the brick family said this method is wrong?"

Uncle Sixin smiled and said: "It's not that it's wrong, but the brick family knows it and doesn't know why. The so-called 'drop paper method' and 'drawing method' can only measure the amount of water content. Nothing else , Piwa, you boil sesame candy, can you still draw and hang flags?"

Uncle Huanbang also said with a smile: "In summer, the beehives are full of honey. These big bees, like those treated by the pharmacist, are in good condition. The beehive can be filled with honey in one day."

Uncle Pharmacist smiled and said, "But this honey has not been brewed, so to be precise, it can only be called flower honey, not honey."

Uncle Huanbang said: "Anyway, this is real honey. According to the experts, if this kind of honey is tested by the 'drop paper method' and 'drawing method', it will be false. .”

Uncle Sixin said: "If in winter, when there are no flowers, you can use sugar water to keep bees. As long as the amount is enough, you can also fill the hive. If you take such things out of the hive, I will ask you, Piwa. , true or false?"

Li Junge put his hand on his forehead: "What a deep routine! If you use this method to deceive tourists, you will definitely be able to deceive every one!"

Several people laughed, and Uncle Pharmacist said: "I just said that a lot of so-called honey sold in supermarkets can't be called honey, but can only be called refined nectar. Why? Look at my more than 100 boxes. At this time, if you take honey every day, you can take more than a hundred catties a day, how much in a month? Two tons less! How much is that?"

Uncle Dongfang said: "However, we call this kind of honey 'water honey'. It is easy to expand the bottle, foam, and turn sour. It can only be sold to honey processing factories. They have a set of vacuum concentration and dehydration processing methods. After a set of procedures, The nectar becomes almost as viscous as honey."

Uncle Sixin said with a smile: "But that stuff, if you ask me to drink it, I won't drink it."

Uncle Pharmacist said: "The honey I understand must be non-polluting, not in factories, and thick enough. Only this kind of honey is good honey."

Uncle Sixin’s Ermao owns a teahouse and a small supermarket, so his ability to summarize is also strong, so he explained to Li Junge in detail: “No pollution means that the flowers of the nectar source have not been sprayed with pesticides; Healthy, no indiscriminate drug administration; the guy who takes honey and packs honey should also pay attention to cleanliness."

"Not entering the factory means that after the honey is directly taken out of the beehive, it only needs to filter impurities. It does not artificially concentrate and dehydrate, and does not blend other ingredients."

"Sufficiently viscous means that the honey has a high concentration when it is taken out of the hive, rather than being vacuum concentrated and dehydrated later."

Uncle Huanbang said with a smile: "If you want to get this kind of ripe honey, there is only one way - to prolong the brewing time of honey in the beehive."

Uncle Pharmacist smiled and said, "Do you understand Piwa now? To obtain mature honey, a large part of the honey production must be sacrificed. If it is a beekeeper who relies on bee eggs to support the whole family, who is willing to do this? This is the city The root cause of not being able to eat real honey!"

Only then did Li Junge suddenly realize that this is what happened!But after thinking about it carefully, it seems that no one can really blame it!There is no good solution!
Uncle Sixin said: "However, the pharmacist's honey is different. Not only is the time enough to brew it, but even we have to pick the time to get the honey, and come early in the morning. The reason is simple: there are no large batches of bees in the morning. Go out to collect honey. Because the water content of newly collected nectar is very high, if it is mixed into the beehive, the concentration of honey will be reduced.”

Li Junge grinned and said, "It's no wonder that Uncle Wood's and Uncle Pharmacist's honey production in Banshan Forest Farm is not high. It turns out that this is the real honey!"

The people kept talking, and the subordinates were also very fast. A few people counted as a small assembly line. They worked until after two o'clock in the afternoon, and they could be regarded as getting the more than 150 boxes of honey.

An average box of thirteen catties is almost two thousand catties of honey.

Li Junge grinned from ear to ear: "According to the price listed on the website, 81 catties, that's 10,000+! No wonder Uncle Yaoshi has always been a local tyrant in our village!"

Uncle Huanbang laughed loudly: "You only see the thieves eating meat but not the thieves being beaten! Beekeeping is also very tiring. To use the words that Orion often says, everyone likes good meat! Usually we must guard against rats. To prevent ants; to prevent fleeing colonies and diseases; to prevent rain and wind, to control temperature, and to supplement sugar in winter..."

Uncle Dongfang said: "We have to change the scene according to the seasons, Piwa, this honey is not so delicious."

Li Junge said: "It's fine work that needs to be learned, but in the future, I'll leave it to me to move around. Now I have a car to pull. We can't control the people outside. Anyway, Lijiagou's own people have to eat decent honey, right?"

Everyone nodded, saying that a few thousand catties of honey every year is not enough for their own family, so there is no need to care about the outside world.

Next, he started to move the honey into the car. Li Junge did his part in this matter, and he had a lot of strength.

Uncle Pharmacist smiled and said: "Pi Wa, I will teach you to be a good boy. The key to judging the real and fake honey is to be like you now."

Uncle Huanbang said: "There are many active things in this honey, they are constantly fermenting honey, so you only need to shake the real honey lightly, and many tiny air bubbles will be precipitated, forming foam on the surface of the honey. Refined honey and fake honey can’t do that.”

Li Junge also laughed loudly: "The elders are not kind, it means that if I don't sell this strength, I can't get the scriptures, right?"

Uncle Yaoshi was very happy today, and gave Li Junge a pat: "The heart of a villain! Hey, I said you don't want to finish moving! Leave a bucket for you, Uncle Dongfang!"

"Then Uncle Huanbang and Uncle Sixin will send a bucket home! We will go home after we are finished!"

On the way back, Li Junge started to work as Uncle Pharmacist: "Uncle Pharmacist, when Gantang's old path is repaired, I'm going to start building a house in Pan'ao Township, ah, that's where Uncle Bamboo Craftsman Shitou lives now, with a wooden structure A small villa with a garden.”

"I have discussed with girl Ayinliang that those who have made contributions to the village can first obtain the property rights of the new house through homestead replacement. You are my company's consultant, and you have taken care of my Lijiagou people for so many years. Those who meet the priority, do you have the will? If so, it is a matter of one sentence."

Uncle Yaoshi laughed and said, "There's no reason why you don't want to. Your aunt has a long neck. If you don't have anything to do, you can go to the stone and bamboo craftsmen. It's just that you don't get rewarded for nothing, and you are ashamed of it."

Li Junge smiled and said: "Don't be ashamed, this is what you deserve. And it's not a free exchange, it also involves a long-term planning issue. After everyone moves out, the original village site will be vacated. Ayin has other ideas."

Uncle Yaoshi said: "You guys are too ambitious. This is to rebuild a village, and then push down the old village and build another project. How much will it cost?"

Li Junge said: "Don't worry about this, because the cost is not high now, so there is still a chance, but it is also the last chance. If it is not repaired now, when there are more tourists in the future, everyone will flock to receive them. If it’s not at home, it will become unplanned and messy. Then I, Lijiagou, will stay at the level of farmhouse entertainment from now on, and there will be no chance to improve!”

Uncle Yaoshi thought for a while and said, "Then can I choose the wooden building at the end of the village? Be a neighbor to the stone and strip maker, and leave the one at the head of the village for your second cousin, Ermao, young people who like to do business. "

Li Junge smiled and said, "Uncle Pharmacist, you can also do business, making wine, medicinal drinks, just say this honey, all of them are good things!"

Uncle Pharmacist laughed loudly: "Uncle Pharmacist, you don't need to grab a good port. The better the port, the more noisy it will be. I don't like it, so I'd better leave it to others!"
