Rebirth in 1984, starting from beekeeping in the mountains

Chapter 35: Disruption, Sweetie Storm

At room temperature, even if it is pure wild honey, in this bustling market with a variety of flavors, the smell cannot be so strong that it can be smelled from several meters away.

However, Fang Hongan had taught Wang Tong some sales skills on the road before. Wang Tong knew that he had to display the goods well before he could bid, so he simply picked up the jar, tilted it slightly, and showed the mouth of the jar to everyone.

In this way, those who leaned forward and took a deep breath could immediately smell the strong honey aroma.

It just so happened that Fang Hongan and the others were standing facing the east. When the golden sun shone on them, the attractive amber color in the jar was perfectly displayed.

"It's delicious!"

“The color is great too!”

"It doesn't look like fake honey!"

……

Attracted by the aroma of honey, the crowd gathered around and let out bursts of exclamations.

Seeing the effect, Wang Tong was proud and patted his chest: "Of course! This is all pure and high-quality spring honey, without any fakes. It is absolutely genuine and worth the price. If you buy it, you will never regret it."

When he finished speaking, many people were already moved.

But at this moment, a voice that seemed to be looking for trouble sounded out of place: "Chun Mi may look like Chun Mi, but it's hard to say whether it's good or not."

As soon as this critical voice was heard, the good atmosphere was instantly broken.

After hearing these words, those who were about to ask for the price suddenly showed a look of suspicion on their faces, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​asking for the price.

In the center of the field, Fang Hongan and Wang Tong were also stunned by this sudden scene.

Especially Wang Tong, he was patting his chest and talking excitedly, and it seemed that he was close to success.

Once these words were spoken, everything was in vain.

Wang Tong immediately became angry.

If there weren't so many people watching, he would have just punched him directly.

When setting up a stall at the market, the most important thing is to make money through harmony. In this market, even if a deal cannot be concluded, everyone will be polite to each other and will not try to undermine each other.

This guy deliberately took the opportunity to interrupt and talk at this time, obviously trying to cause trouble.

Wang Tong raised his eyes and looked at the man.

The man looked to be in his thirties or forties, not tall, with a high hairline, small eyes, many pockmarks on his face, and a sparse goatee on his chin. He looked like someone who was difficult to deal with.

Noticing Wang Tong's gaze, the man with the pockmarked face not only showed no fear, but instead raised his head and looked straight into Wang Tong's eyes.

"This old man!" After spending some time with Fang Hongan, Wang Tong has become much calmer. He tried his best to suppress his anger and said coldly, "This honey was dug out of the mountains by my brother and I. How can it be bad?"

The pockmarked man had already squeezed to the front row. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he was not panicked at all: "I didn't say your honey was adulterated. I said... spring honey is not necessarily good."

"How do you say this?"

This time, before Wang Tong could speak, someone among the onlookers immediately asked curiously.

"It's like this." The pockmarked face spoke slowly, "Spring is the season when all flowers bloom, and it is also the easiest time to collect honey. Because the honey is collected quickly, there will be a lot of unripe honey in the beehive. We experts generally call this kind of honey water honey! Water honey has a lot of water and a light taste. It will turn sour after being left for a long time. If you don't separate the water honey when you squeeze it, the whole jar of spring honey will become very bad!"

"Oh!"

“It turns out there are so many ways to do this!”

After he finished explaining, everyone suddenly realized it, and someone immediately agreed. "That's what I said. I received a jar of honey before, and it turned sour after I ate half of it. It turned out that it was mixed with water honey!"

"Me too, there was a jar of honey that smelled really nice, but it didn't taste that sweet at all!"

……

The noise was getting louder and louder, and the situation was getting a little out of control. Wang Tong quickly raised his arms and shouted, "Don't worry, everyone! Our honey is definitely not mixed with water honey, and it tastes very sweet!"

Although he spoke loudly, everyone was already full of suspicion after hearing what the pockmarked man said.

"You guys have created so many forums at once, and you say there is nothing wrong with it. It's hard for us to believe it!"

"That's right, if you say it doesn't exist, then it doesn't exist! If you have the guts, prove it to me in front of us, then we will believe it!"

"Words are not enough!"

……

A crowd of people rushed to raise questions.

On the contrary, the man with the pockmarked face didn't say anything after he finished explaining, but just watched the excitement silently.

"This……"

Wang Tong looked helpless and confused, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

Fang Hongan had taught him some techniques on the way, but these techniques did not include these things.

He didn't even know that there was such a thing as honey and water honey, let alone how to prove it.

But given the current situation, if we don’t handle it well, we may not be able to sell any honey today.

Just as he was getting anxious, Fang Hongan's calm voice sounded steadily: "This is easy to prove!"

"???"

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to Fang Hongan.

The man with the pockmarked face, who had a hint of smile on his lips, suddenly froze and his eyes were fixed on Fang Hongan.

Seeing that he had successfully attracted everyone's attention, Fang Hongan pointed at the pockmarked face and said seriously: "What the old man said before is right, there is more water honey in the beehive in spring, but... when we collect honey, we specially separate the water honey from the capped mature honey!
As for the method of proof, it is also very simple! Water honey has a lot of water and is thin. If it is mixed into mature honey, the consistency of the entire honey will definitely decrease, right? "

Fang Hongan did not continue to say this, but smiled and turned to the pockmarked face: "Brother! You said so, right?"

As soon as Fang Hongan opened his mouth, he brought up the key point of "capping" on the honey comb to distinguish water honey from mature honey.

While the pockmarked man's face was filled with shock, the mockery in his eyes had been replaced by a vague bad premonition.

This time, Fang Hongan threw the question directly at him. He didn't really want to answer, but seeing everyone else looking at him, he could only bite the bullet and nod: "That's the truth!"

"Then fellow villagers, please watch carefully!"

Fang Hongan bent down, took out a bamboo chopstick from the bamboo basket, and gently inserted it into the mouth of the jar in front of everyone.

At first, everyone was a little confused and didn't know what Fang Hongan was going to do.

But after a moment, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

I saw that the bamboo chopstick inserted into the honey from the mouth of the jar did not fall over or sink immediately, but was stuck there firmly and straight. After a while, it began to sink at a very slow speed.
