"Hey! Xiaofeng, is this honey?" The old man came out of the house and asked in surprise when he saw Zhang Feng was packing honey.

"Yes, the wild honey I just got back from the mountain." Zhang Feng was also very happy, with a smile on his face.

"This is a good thing... I want to try it..." Wild honey is rare, and the common ones are farmed honey. There is still a big difference in the taste of the two kinds of honey. The old man took a small amount of honey with a spoon. Spoon it into your mouth and close your eyes enjoying it.

"How is it, old man?"

"Yes, it really is wild honey, with a strong floral fragrance." The old man nodded and shouted happily into the room: "Old lady, come and see the hundred flower honey you have been talking about for a long time."

"What? Where is Baihuami?" Grandma Liu hurried out. Two years ago, a friend knew that she had a stomach problem, so he gave her a bottle of Baihuami. Afterwards, she soaked Baihuami in water to drink every day. The old problem was cured, and the spirit was better. From then on, the old man knew that Baihuami was a rare treasure.

"Well, it really is authentic Baihua nectar." Grandma Liu took a sip and was already very familiar with the taste of Baihua nectar. Although Baihua nectar also has different tastes, which are related to the types of pollen collected by bees, Baihua nectar has an important The characteristic is that there are many and mixed fragrances, and there is a faint herbal smell.

Because the honey of flowers is made by bees collecting the essence of flowers, it has a variety of complex aromas, and it also contains the taste of various wild Chinese herbs, so it has many benefits for the human body and has a strong nourishing effect.

"Grandpa Liu, Grandma Liu, I just made some crystal jelly, you can eat it with honey?" Although Baihua honey is a good thing, it is sweet, so it is just right to eat it on the crystal jelly.

"Hey! Xiaofeng also made crystal jelly?" The two old people were very pleasantly surprised. Such snacks are becoming more and more rare in the city.

"Yes, how do you taste it?" Zhang Feng filled a bowl for each of them, put some dried fruit and honey on it, and handed it to the two old people.

"Hmm! Not bad, not bad! It's the taste, I haven't tasted it for many years." The old man seemed to be immersed in the memory of the past.

"Yeah, I used to be poor in material things. It is a kind of enjoyment and very satisfying to be able to eat a bowl of crystal jelly on a hot day." Grandma Liu took a bite and seemed to have found the feeling in her memory. sweet.

"Well, the crystal jelly made by Xiaofeng is very good. I will make two special dishes for you later." The old man said in a good mood after eating very well.

"Okay, the ham that the old man made last time made me almost eat my tongue, and today I have another treat!" The old man has been a chef all his life, and his culinary skills must be beyond words. Zhang Feng drools when he thinks about it.

"Hehe, the old man likes to cook every day at home. Recently, you are the one who is doing the cooking, but he is overwhelmed." Grandma Liu said with a smile.

"Yes, I have been cooking for a lifetime, and I can't let it go even if I want to." The old man smiled and shook his head. Before he knew it, cooking has become not only his profession, but also an indispensable part of his life. .

When the old man came here a few days ago, he brought a lot of gifts, most of which were precious ingredients, such as Caiyun ham, wild abalone from Hainan, and even supplements such as bird's nest and shark's fin.

In the evening, Zhang Feng took a rare leisure time and handed over the kitchen to the old man. The old man liked this kind of big country stove, as if he had returned to the years of hard work. According to him, the dishes made by this kind of stove are more delicious. tasty.

The happy old man cooked the kitchen himself that night and cooked a large table of delicious dishes. Everyone ate with gusto and was full of praise.

........................

It's still not light the next day
Zhang Feng's family got up, because today they were going to help the second uncle and Er Niu's family pick fruit, so everyone got up early, and then rushed to the backyard to prepare today's vegetables and wait for Xiao Wang's arrival.

"Xiao Lin, you will stay at home today and let Xiao Wang take away the vegetables when he comes. You know the price right?" After breakfast, the mother said to her daughter.

"I know, Mom!" Zhang Lin replied obediently.

"Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu have something to do this morning, so please take care of us at home." Zhang Feng said apologetically to the two old people.

"Hehe, it's okay, you go ahead, we are sure to be fine with us at home." The old man said with a smile.

…………

finish breakfast
The family was divided into two groups. Zhang Feng carried the burden and walked to the orchard of Uncle Er Niu's home, while his mother and eldest sister went to the orchard of Uncle Er Niu's home to help.

"Xiaofeng is here, hurry up and help!" Uncle Er Niu was delighted when he saw Zhang Feng's face.

"Why are you the only one, Aunt Er Niu?" Zhang Feng was a little surprised when he saw that Uncle Er Niu was busy alone.

"Oh! What a coincidence, her natal family has something to do today, so I'm the only one left!"

"Hehe, then why don't you let the little duck bring his group of younger brothers over to help?" Zhang Feng said jokingly when thinking of the little duck's group of monkeys.

"I'm going, you are sincerely teasing me, right? Those monkeys can do things too? If they don't come to make trouble for me, I will burn incense." Uncle Er Niu rolled his eyes and said angrily.

The two chatted casually, but the movements in their hands were not slow at all. One by one, the bright red peaches were picked into the baskets. Since the peaches had not matured on a large scale, the two of them only spent more than an hour. , Pick the ripe peaches.

"Yes, it's delicious!" Zhang Feng picked a big, red peach, and took a bite, "That's right! Did Liu Yiyi say when they'll come to pick up the goods?"

"As I said, their car will arrive around nine o'clock." Uncle Er Niu also tasted one, and he was very happy when he thought of the high price.

Then the two carried peaches and walked towards the village. There were not many peaches today, only more than 100 catties, and the loads of both of them were not full. They returned to the village a few minutes later.

"Uncle Er Niu, I will teach you the rest. I will go to my second uncle's orchard to see." Zhang Feng put down his burden, rested for a while, and then said to Uncle Er Niu.

"Okay, let's go!" There is not much work left, just put the peaches into plastic baskets, and it will take less than half an hour.

When Zhang Feng came to the orchard of the second uncle's house, everyone just finished picking peaches, "Xiaofeng, have you finished picking the peaches at Er Niu's house?"

"It's over, but second uncle, your speed is also very fast." Zhang Feng replied that second uncle arrived.

"Hehe, it's not because of everyone's help."

Because the orchards are all on the hills, there is no road, so how to transport the fruits out becomes a big problem every year when the orchards are harvested.

Fortunately, Zhang Feng's strength has increased greatly now, so he feels light and light when he is carrying one or two hundred catties of peaches. He walks like flying, and he doesn't feel tired at all. In five or six minutes, he carried a load of peaches back to the village.

Afterwards, everyone helped pack the fruit, and Zhang Feng finally felt the strength of the crowd. Five or six people put more than 200 catties of peaches into the box in more than ten minutes, waiting for the arrival of the goods.

"Xiaofeng, come over to eat later." The second uncle saw Zhang Feng leaving, and immediately called out.

"Got it, I'll go home and take a shower first." Zhang Feng smiled and walked home.

………………

"Wow...Wow..." As soon as he walked to the door of the house, Zhang Feng heard miserable cries by the lake. Zhang Feng listened carefully, and it looked like a small stone.

"Da Mao, why did you make Little Stone cry?" Zhang Feng walked over curiously, and asked when he saw Da Mao.

"It doesn't matter what happened to me, it's all done by ducklings..." Then Da Mao told the whole story, Zhang Feng shook his head helplessly, these skinny kids are really lawless.

It turned out that these guys bought a box of firecrackers for [-] cents, and while they were playing, the little duck saw a pile of cow dung on the side of the road, so he played a prank, stuffed the cannon into the cow dung, and tricked the little stone to go there. Said there was something good over there.

Little stone, I don't know why, just walked over curiously, there was a bang, dung splashed everywhere, and the fried little stone was covered with cow dung, the little duck saw that the joke was too big, and immediately ran away, leaving only the tragic one Little Shitou stood there and cried miserably.

"Is this a monkey really?" Zhang Feng shook his head, and then said to Da Mao, "Da Mao, hurry up and take a small stone to the river to wash, and be careful not to go to places where the water is deep."

Since it is summer now, the sun has risen high in the sky, so there is no need to worry about catching a cold. Seeing Da Mao walking towards the lake with a small stone, Zhang Feng shook his head with a smile and walked home.
