Chapter 43 Honey [Recommendation ticket 200 plus more]

After getting away from Tao Pozi, Lan Hua'er felt that she was not so tired after running back and forth for a day to fetch water.That man's nonsense really gave her a headache.You have to be careful, for fear that if you say something wrong, there will be some strange messages in the village tomorrow.

Lan Hua'er tilted her head and rethought what she said just now, and felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with it, so she comforted herself in her heart, so she could calm down and do things.

After waiting in fear for a few days, nothing came to my ears, and I gradually breathed a sigh of relief.

When her mind relaxed, Lan Hua'er felt a little funny.

Her mentality was as if she believed that everyone's eyes were on her because she knew that she had traveled through time.In fact, in this village, no one's family has anything to do.It's boring, but it's not so boring that you stare at her all the time.Her status in this village is just that of a poor orphan girl, how can there be so many people thinking of embarrassing her all the time.Rather, she took herself too seriously.

After September passed, the heat gradually began to subside.

She asked Goudan again, and Goudan said that Gaihua's birthday was in the twelfth lunar month.Goudan still looked at her suspiciously:
"Sister, don't you remember?"

Lan Huaer knocked on her head:
"I'm so busy, how can I remember so much. It's not as good as your brain. You see, I can't remember many words you taught me. If you forget something, you have to remember it. Remind me."

Goudan nodded obediently.

Lan Hua'er now takes time every afternoon to watch Goudan write, and then follow him to ask questions.But she didn't practice writing very much, so she naturally pretended to be forgetful.Anyway, she just wanted an excuse to know the characters, and she didn't need to study hard.

On Langzhong Yang's side, every month, she would bring ready-made fish fillets and four dried fish to the door, as well as radish and eggs.Yang Langzhong doesn't always accept everything, sometimes he only keeps half of it.But Yang Langzhong likes the fried fish slices made by Lan Huaer very much, so Lan Huaer often makes them and sends them over.

After Goudan's birthday passed, the wild fruits on the mountain began to ripen.

Lan Hua'er picked several kinds that she knew, and asked Langzhong Yang for a few days off, so that he could help pick the fruits from the back mountain.

She even saw sour dates and wild peaches.People in the village don't seem to eat those wild fruits very much, only some children in the village went to the back mountain to pick some mulberry seeds to eat.

Looking at the wild fruits all over the mountains, Lan Hua'er felt that it was really a waste.

However, she can also understand.The transition between Xia and Autumn happens to be just before the harvest. There are not many paddy fields in the village, and every day they have to carry water to take care of the fields. No one has time to go to the mountains to pick wild fruits.

This is all cheap orchids.

She couldn't even call out the names of some wild fruits, and the people in the village called them in local dialect, so she picked a lot of them and went home.

After picking all the wild fruits and going home, she remembered the beehives she had seen on the mountain before.

People in the village have never had the habit of messing with wild bees.Even because someone has been bitten, every time they see a beehive, they will go far away.

Lan Hua'er thought for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a particularly appropriate solution.

She once read about other people going to the beehive in a book, and she felt relaxed when she read it, but when it was her turn to do it herself, she found it difficult.

She wasn't going to take Goudan with her for this matter.

After picking the wild fruits and putting them to dry in front of the house, she asked Goudan to go to Yang Langzhong to enlighten him again.

She prepared for two days by herself, and felt that the plan was thorough, so she went to the back mountain by herself.

The first thing to pick is a hive next to a stream.

When I used to read books, the people in the books always liked to run into the water after smoking the bees, saying that they would not be stung by bees.Lan Hua'er thought for a long time, and felt that she could only imitate.

Before smoking the bees, she first carefully cleared the surrounding grass - first of all, she had to ensure that the fire she set would not burn into the mountain.Otherwise, it would be a crime.

After carefully avoiding the bees and clearing out a firebreak, Lan Huaer set a fire inside the firebreak with her own flint and steel.

This is actually not easy.

Summer has not yet passed completely, and the grass on the mountain is growing lush.It's green and oily, and it looks like it's watery, and it's not easy to ignite.Lan Hua'er threw a lot of dry firewood into it, and managed to ignite the fire.

Then she screamed and jumped into the stream.

——Later she found out that what she did was unnecessary.

In fact, as long as she squats still and breathes shallowly, those bees who are dizzy won't bother her at all.

Lan Hua'er said bitterly:
"Who the hell said that you should run away when you encounter bees. You really have never smoked bees. It made me wet for nothing. It also made Goudan laugh for a long time."

However, she finally managed to remove several beehives.

I was stung several times. Fortunately, Lan Hua'er didn't have any allergic reactions, but it was just a few swollen bumps, which were a little itchy, and she was fine after raising her.

The beeswax was saved for later cooking, and the bee larvae were fried and eaten directly. The honey in it was collected in a jar, and then mulberries and other small unnamed wild fruits were buried in it.

After Goudan finished writing, he went over to watch Lan Huaer fill the jar curiously.

"Sister, are you cooking something delicious?"

When not writing, Goudan is still that delicious naughty boy.

Lan Hua'er hugged the jar and nodded.After thinking about it, he said:
"I can't let you eat more. This is a method I just came up with to make food, and I don't know if it will work. If it can be sold, I have to save money to buy land. You have to bear it first, and the family will have trouble in the future." If you have land, sister will plant delicious food for you. If you can’t sell it, then I’ll give you this jar. It’s sweet.”

Goudan tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "I won't eat it, sister, you keep the money for selling it. After buying the fields, brother can go home."And comforted Lan Huaer, "Sister, don't worry, it's so delicious, it will definitely be sold."

Lan Hua'er saw that he was puffing out his chest, he looked like a little man, so she couldn't help but burst out laughing.He wanted to reach out and touch his head, but found that his hands were covered with fruit juice and honey, so he had no choice but to give up.

"My dog ​​has grown up." Lan Hua'er said with a smile, "I will feel sorry for my family, and I have learned to write, so I must be a promising person in the future."
