Rebirth in 1984, starting from beekeeping in the mountains

Chapter 66: Even When Giving Gifts, You Need to Be Thoughtful (Please Read More)
The day after shaking the honey.

Fang Hongan didn't get up early again.

He had discussed it with Wang Tong last night and decided to rest at home in the morning.

Just wait until it gets dark in the afternoon to collect a few swarms of bees and bring them back to the hive.

They had almost reached the top of the hill of Shanmuling Village.

Actual practice has proved that the efficiency of honey digging will not be very high in the future.

Since this is the case, Fang Hongan thought it would be better to take a day off.

I'll try again tomorrow with a new idea.

Besides, I have been busy digging honey these days and only collected a swarm of bees on the first day.

At present, two beehives have been vacated in the thatched house.

Besides, the old carpenter should be able to make one today.

Taking advantage of this afternoon, Fang Hongan plans to collect three swarms of bees in one go.

In this way, there can be six beehives in the whole thatched house, and I can finally be considered a beekeeper.

Said it was a break.

In fact, Fang Hongan was not idle either.

I haven’t had time to process the eels from last time.

A few days ago, Lan Wenxiu said she would handle it.

But during this period of time, the food at home has improved.

Not only did Lan Wenxiu's complexion improve, but her belly also gradually showed signs of being pregnant.

To handle these eels, one has to squat on a small stool for a long time.

Fang Hongan refused to let her do this, and repeatedly told her to wait for him to handle it.

Now that he had some free time, Fang Hongan decided to deal with all the eels at once.

There were more than ten kilograms of eels, and Wang Tong was allowed to take back half of them, so there were at least eight kilograms left.

After being kept in clear water for a few days, they have certainly lost some weight, but the lost weight should be the contents of their stomachs. The meat of these eels is still very plump and delicious.

Sitting on a small stool with a knife, a wooden board and nails in hand, Fang Hongan buried his head and began to work.

The eels this time were not as big as the ones he caught the first time. Even though Fang Hongan was very skilled, it took him almost an hour to process about five kilograms of eels.

Fang Hongan was not going to deal with the remaining three pounds. He would just take them directly to Taozi's house later.

It is not only a way to thank Uncle Fang Hongjiang for his enthusiasm, but also an "initial display" of his jungling achievements!

In addition to Taozi's family, the other family that would receive eels would naturally be the old carpenter's family.

only……

Taozi's family is large and they have their own way of cooking, so they just sent unprocessed live eels.

But for the two old men in the old carpenter's house, it might be a bit troublesome to deal with this thing.

When people get older, it is not suitable for them to eat Panlong eel. In their situation, braised eel slices should be the most suitable.

So Fang Hongan planned to send the finished products directly over.

Based on the experience of being an apprentice in the previous life.

Fang Hongan knew that the old carpenter's family had the habit of getting up early to work and having brunch around ten o'clock.

I looked at the sky and saw that it was almost time.

Fang Hongan also went into the fire room, washed the pot and prepared to start cooking the braised eel.

But at this time, Lan Wenxiu also walked in and snatched the spatula from Fang Hongan's hand without saying anything.

Her reasons are good.

She has just learned how to make the dish braised yellow eel and needs to practice it many times to consolidate her knowledge.

Fang Hongan can teach from the side, but he cannot do it himself.

Fang Hongan couldn't persuade her, so he had to hand over the power.

Helping to light a fire.

Lan Wenxiu said that she wanted Fang Hongan to teach her, but in fact, with her understanding of cooking, there was no need for her to be taught at all.

Fang Hongan controlled the fire steadily and saw that everything was going smoothly. He waited for Lan Wenxiu to finish frying the eels and put them into water to simmer them. Then he carried the three pounds of eels that had not been processed yet and went straight to Fang Chengtao's house.

When they got home, they found that Fang Chengtao and Fang Hongjiang were not at home. Only Fang Chengtao's mother was picking wild vegetables in the backyard. After calling her "Auntie", Fang Hongan said that they were lucky in the morning and had caught some eels, which they couldn't finish at home, so they sent some over.

Seeing that it was Fang Hongan who came, Fang Chengtao's mother quickly put down the wild vegetables in her hand and greeted him warmly.

After hearing it clearly, Fang Hongan brought over eels, a small bucket at a time.

Taozi's mother was surprised and happy, but she refused to accept it.

The two sides pushed and shoved each other for several times, and even with Fang Hongan's intensive training in recent days, he was still unable to pour the eel into her bucket.

Fang Hongan had no choice but to dump the eel on the ground in his backyard, then turned and left.

Seeing Fang Hongan using this shameless trick, Taozi's mother originally rushed over to chase Fang Hongan, but after just two steps, she saw the chickens raised in the backyard running out like crazy and rushing towards the eels rolling and twisting on the ground.

“Dare to eat!!!”

Taozi's mother yelled loudly, her ears turning red with anxiety.

He stomped his feet and had no choice but to leave Fang Hongan and ran back to the backyard, waving a bamboo pole to drive away the chickens.

"Ah! You have to be cunning to give a gift!"

"So tired!"

Shaking his head and smiling helplessly, Fang Hongan quickly walked back home.

At this time, Lan Wenxiu had already cooked the braised yellow eel and helped Fang Hong prepare a large bowl for it. She also placed another bowl on top of the large bowl to keep it warm and prevent foreign objects from falling into it.

Fang Hongan held the bowl in both hands and walked quickly to the old carpenter's house.

Just as Fang Hongan knew, the rice was ready and the dishes were also ready, just a bowl of vegetables.

Judging from the noise, Aunt Hong should be digging pickles out of the jar in the inner room.

As for the old carpenter Yang Maolin, judging from the noise in the workshop, he was still working.

He has been asked to make beehives and beehive tools recently, which has forced the old carpenter to work at full capacity.

With the experience of Taozi's family last time, I saw a similar situation again.

Fang Hongan simply tiptoed in quietly.

He gently placed the bowl in his hand on the dining table, and immediately retreated while they were not noticing.

Because he had to find the old carpenter for something later, he did not leave, but hid behind a haystack next to a tree and waited.

Just as he hid himself, he heard Aunt Hong's voice calling the old carpenter to eat from the inner room.

And then……

After the sound of footsteps, Aunt Hong’s surprised voice was heard.

then……

"Old waiter! Old waiter! Come and see... I was just digging some pickles when I suddenly saw a bowl of yellow eel on the table!"

"Eel?"

The old carpenter also ran over in a hurry.

Then, after mumbling to himself for a while, the old carpenter quickly came to a conclusion: "No need to guess! It must have been taken by that devil Hong An!"

"I thought so too! But why be so sneaky!"

"I'm afraid you'll refuse! Well, since he wants to, let's eat!"

Fang Hongan was leaning against a haystack and heard that the two of them should have started eating.

Then he walked out slowly and walked into the house with a smile.

"Hongan!"

Seeing Fang Hongan suddenly appear, Aunt Hong stood up and complained with a grin: "You little devil! You scared me to death!"

Carpenter Yang didn't seem surprised by Fang Hongan's appearance. He just rolled his eyes and said, "Why? What are you going to do again?"

Obviously, he knew that this suddenly appeared again, so there must be something wrong, otherwise he would have left.

"It's just a little thing! You uncles can just eat it! I can make it myself in the workshop!"

"Then go by yourself!"

Yang Maolin waved to him, seemingly casually, but anticipation involuntarily appeared in his eyes.
