Chapter 16 Pure Wild Honey
"Okay, Grandpa Zhao, find a corner and put the box there. The bees follow the queen bee, and they won't fly back."
"Oh, Xiao Yi, you really have a way, even the bees obediently listen to you."
Li Xiaojia stood there blankly, still thinking about the previous scene in his mind, Xiao Yi didn't panic at all when facing a group of flying bees.
"Who the hell are you? It's unbelievable. The swarm of bees just obediently listened to you."
"How do I know, I just stretched out a finger, and they followed."
"..."
What Xiao Yi did was too weird, and Li Xiaojia couldn't figure out the reason anyway, but the trouble of the hive seemed to be resolved.
Stepping on a ladder, Xiao Yi went up to pick off the honeycomb. The watermelon-sized honeycomb felt very heavy in his hand.
"Today you have a good fortune, I'll give you something delicious."
With such a large hive, you can feel it, and there will be a lot of honey in it.
Xiao Yi cut open the hive with a knife, there were not many small bees in the hive, and each cell was full of honey.
Find a big bucket, Xiao Yi cut the honeycomb into pieces in the big bucket, and then put a few wooden boards in the big bucket, and put the honeycomb pieces between the wooden boards.
After closing the lid and sealing it, Xiao Yi went to a tofu maker in the village and borrowed an electric grinder. After waiting for half an hour, all the honey on the honeycomb cake was thrown out and gathered in the vat. bottom.
"Wow, that's how honey comes from. I thought I caught bees and let them spit out honey one by one."
Li Xiaojia watched Xiao Yi operate step by step. After cleaning the bee cakes in the bucket, golden honey was left behind.
"It's still one step away. Looking for something to filter the honey, there are still some impurities that need to be cleaned up."
After these procedures are completed, a huge honeycomb has turned into a jar of fragrant honey. Looking at this color, I feel very attractive. "This is a good thing. I didn't allow it to be burned just now because of this. Natural honey has the effect of beautifying and beautifying the skin. Good things should not be spoiled."
Xiao Yi divided a jar of honey into two parts, and kept a bottle for himself to soak in water for grandpa to drink.
"Are you going to give me all these? Don't you take them back yourself?"
"It's enough for me to have this bottle. It's a bit of a pain for a big beauty to come to a remote village like ours to be a secretary. As a person in An Ning Bay, she should also show it."
"Why did your mouth become so sweet, did you secretly eat honey just now?"
Li Xiaojia said so, but she felt that what Xiao Yi said was quite good, and she knew how to care about women.
"Then I'm not going to be polite. I'll accept the honey as a gift from you. This honey smells really good. It's the first time I've seen the process of making honey." Xiao Yi didn't care about these things either. I have done my family a great favor, this thing can only be regarded as a small thing.
The honeycomb was basically cleaned up, leaving behind a palm-sized piece of milky white, obviously different from honey.
Xiao Yi knew that this should be royal jelly, which is also a relatively precious thing. Royal jelly is relatively rare in beehives.
Royal jelly, also known as royal jelly, royal jelly, royal jelly, bee milk, is the secretion of the pharyngeal glands of young worker bees that cultivate larvae in the honeycomb.
The so-called royal jelly is a milky substance secreted by young and middle-aged bees after eating pollen. This milky substance is like mammalian milk and has great nutritional value and immune function.
Carefully scraping off this piece of secretion, Xiao Yi put it in a small bottle, grandpa is weak, this thing is of great benefit to grandpa.
"Hey, Xiao Yi, you kid is here. I'm so desperate to find you, hurry home."
Aunt Liu suddenly rushed to the village committee, anxious to find Xiao Yi but could not find anyone, so Aunt Liu had no choice but to think of a way to go to the village committee and shout out on the loudspeaker of the radio.
"Aunt Liu, has something happened? I'm sweating profusely."
"You'll find out when you go home and have a look. I don't know exactly what happened. A few people came from the city and said they were looking for you."
"Looking for me? I don't seem to have any relatives in Beitang County. Why are you looking for me?"
This idea popped into Xiao Yi's mind immediately, he took honey and left the village committee first, and went home to see what was going on.
In front of Xiaoshan's courtyard, a black BMW was parked. This is the only place in Anning Bay. If something happens, the people in the village will know immediately.
"Why did the people from the city come to look for Xiao Yi?"
"I don't know very well, it seems that I came here to buy cabbage from Xiao's family."
"What? Buying cabbage? Driving a car to buy cabbage, what do you think the people in this city are doing? Even a big car or a small car is not enough for gas."
A few villagers outside Xiaoshan's courtyard were discussing there, they couldn't figure out what was going on, and Xiaoshan was also confused.
It was the first time for a guest to come to the city, Zhang Hong stood in the yard waiting for Xiao Yi to come back, at first Xiao Shan thought it was the wrong door.
"Sister Zhang is really you. I guessed it on the way. I don't know many people in the city. I think the only person who can find me in the village is probably you, Sister Zhang." Xiao Yi hadn't entered the yard yet. opened the gate, and saw Zhang Hong waiting for him in the yard, just as he had guessed in his heart.
Zhang Hong changed into casual clothes and came to Anning Bay. After inquiring about where Xiao Yi lived, she went directly to Xiao Yi's house.
"I didn't notify you in advance. I came to your house directly to find you. I didn't disturb you, did I?"
"Where is it? I don't have anything important to do. It's not a matter of disturbing or not. Sister Zhang, don't stand outside, go to my room."
Xiao Yi opened the door ahead, Zhang Hong asked the driver to wait outside, and she and an assistant followed into Xiao Yi's room.
The room was furnished simply, with two single beds, a desk, and a chair whose paint had long since fallen off. The desk was well placed, with an old photo beside it.
"I'm sorry, Sister Zhang, my family's environment is poor, so I can only wrong Sister Zhang."
Xiao Yi found two water cups, and there was nothing to sell in the village, so they could only entertain guests with boiled water.
"It's okay, Xiao Yi, you don't have to be busy, sit down first and I have something to discuss with you."
Zhang Hong came to see Xiao Yi today, not as a guest, there is an important matter to be decided by Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi sat on the bed casually. In fact, Xiao Yi also had a rough guess in his heart about Zhang Hong's intention. Let's see what Zhang Hong will say next.
"I came to look for you today, because of the Chinese cabbage you planted, maybe you have already guessed it in your heart, right?"
Xiao Yi nodded, except that the Chinese cabbage was a point of contact between two people, and if it wasn't for the Chinese cabbage, Zhang Hong would definitely not come to Xiao Yi.
