i have a mountain

Chapter 425
Hearing Yu Fei said that he was going to visit the beekeeper, Shi Fang asked, "You don't mean to buy some wild honey, do you?"

"I've heard people say that those beekeepers are scooping it up for you from their own buckets of honey. In fact, they have already added other things. They are kind enough to add brown sugar water for you. Then I'll add some cyclamate or something for you."

"If you want to eat honey, I will ask our mother and uncle to order some later. There are beekeepers in their village."

Yu Fei laughed: "How do you know that what our uncle gave us is pure honey? Maybe they also used adulterated honey to fool him?"

Shi Fang is very confident: "They don't dare, if they really use adulterated honey to fool our uncle, then wait to be beaten, our uncle will be with... Gen..."

She followed for a while, and finally she smiled a little embarrassedly at Fei and said, "It's almost like Brother Shanfeng."

Yu Fei immediately understood, this is another thorn in his feelings, no wonder Shi Fang is so confident.

After a pause, Yu Fei said: "Actually, I want to see if I can get back two boxes of bees and we can raise them ourselves. You see, after a while, these bellflowers will bloom and harvest nectar. gone."

"Have you eaten honey for so many years, have you ever eaten bellflower nectar?"

Shi Fang shook her head: "I never eat honey."

Yu Fei, who was about to make a long speech, suddenly died down. Facing a person who has never experienced it before, how can he convince her? Can he rely on his own description and let others imagine it?
This is a bit unreliable, but Yu Fei turned his head around twice, and whispered something in Shi Fang's ear. After the latter heard it, his face immediately turned red, and he stretched out his hand on Fei's waist to exert force. twisted around.

"You are so shameless, I won't be fooled by you, what should I do now, I'll go and see Guoguo and the others."

After finishing speaking, Shi Fang left Yu Fei as if running away, the latter grinned and muttered in a low voice: "I'm doing this for your own good, not only nutrition, but also beauty..."

……

Yu Fei, who was driving the car, found the beekeeper's family according to his memory. He said that the beekeeper's family was actually a bit reluctant, but in fact it was a middle-aged couple who set up a tent on the side of the road.

A row of beehives was placed in a crooked manner behind the tent. At this time, the couple was shaking honey. The man took out a honeycomb board from the beehive and cleaned the bees on it with a brush.

After he cleaned it up and put it into a transparent cylindrical glass vessel, the woman began to shake a handle on the outside, and then the honeycomb plate was driven by the machine to perform centrifugal motion in the glass vessel.

The yellow-brown honey was thrown out and slowly flowed down the glass wall. At this time, there was already about four finger-thick honey on the bottom of the glass vessel.

It was also the first time Yu Fei saw Caimi on the spot. Originally, the man wanted to come forward to greet him, but he waved his hand to signal that he should not be so anxious.

Perhaps they often see this kind of onlooker scene, so it is not too much because there is an outsider present, and the couple continue to work on it.

The woman also pointed to her veil, and then pointed to the bees flying in the air, signaling him to protect himself, these bees can sting people.

Yu Fei smiled at her kind reminder, then stretched out his right thumb and index finger, made a relatively thick gesture, and then put them on his face.

The woman smiled and stopped talking. At this time, her husband cleaned out another honeycomb board, and the two repeated the action just now.

This series of operations lasted for nearly half an hour, and the honey in the glass bucket also accumulated a thick layer.

After the two returned all the beehives to their original positions, they packed up their tools, carried the glass tube and walked back. Yu Fei just followed behind them. His first task was to buy some beehives from here. box bees.

If it doesn't work, then go back and buy the freshly shaken honey in this barrel. Although there are some sundries in it, after filtering it, it is definitely much better than the processed honey on the market.

The reason why he followed closely was because of what Shi Fang said, the honey they sold had been added with other things.

Yu Fei felt that he couldn't give them this chance, no matter whether it was true or not, although sometimes what he saw with his own eyes might not be true, but at this time, his own eyes were more effective.

The two couples put the glass bucket on the side of the tent, and they took off the layer of gauze on their bodies first, and Yu Fei could see that the foreheads of both of them were covered with sweat.

It seems that although this job is light, it is not as easy as it seems.

Yu Fei went up and handed him a cigarette, the man waved his hand and said he couldn't, and Yu Fei didn't mind, he lit one for himself.

"How do you sell this honey?"

When Yu Fei came up, he didn't ask how the bees were sold first. This is their job, just like if you go to buy sesame seed cakes, can you ask how much their stove is sold for?Beware of people hitting you with sesame seed tongs.

The man smiled, and the traces of time on his face deepened: "What are you selling? If you want to eat, you can just drink some, no money."

The accent is not local, but it is estimated that it will not be too far away. He seems to be enthusiastic about Yu Fei, a 'local', but he is actually somewhat wary.

After all, when he was away from home, Yu Fei could understand this man's feelings just like what his mother said. In the countryside, strange things would happen.

And these serious craftsmen who have left their native land to make a living will always release some kindness when facing people like Fei, they are just asking for food.

Yu Fei chuckled: "I want a lot."

The smile on the man's face quickly disappeared, and the busy woman also stopped her work, looking at Yu Fei.

"Don't get me wrong." Yu Fei explained: "I'm not the kind of person who takes things and doesn't give money."

As he spoke, he took out a handful of bills from his pocket, then pointed to the glass bucket and said, "You filter the honey in there once, I want all of it, but I just have one request, I have to keep watching it while filtering." on."

Seeing Yu Fei take out the banknotes, the expressions of the beekeepers eased. After listening to Yu Fei's words, the woman smiled: "Are you afraid that we will add sugar water in it? Don't worry, our family Honey is never adulterated."

"I just want to see how you filter it. I plan to raise a few boxes of bees in my house in a few days, so that I can eat fresh honey every day." Yu Fei said in a teasing tone own true thoughts.

"Then you can't bear this kind of crime." The beekeeper seemed to be very talkative, and said to Fei: "You don't know what kind of life we ​​have lived these years. We live in the wild every day, and we can't go back many times a year. Second home."

"I was often stung by bees when I was collecting honey. After a year of hard work, I haven't earned as much as working part-time."

Yu Fei picked up the punctuation marks and listened to his ears. After seeing the beekeeper started to prepare for the filtering work, he said without raising his head: "Actually, I just keep it for fun. I have a farm. Just put the bees in there and you'll be fine."

"I don't need to travel all over the world, and I don't even think about using this to make money, as long as I can eat for my family."

The beekeeper took out a screen that was similar to the screen Yu Fei had seen when he was a child, except that the screen was made of gauze, and his one seemed to be made of stainless steel wire.

He put this sieve on top of a basin. These two things should be custom-made, otherwise it would be just right.

The beekeeper put the pot with the sieve into the opening under the honey shaker, and then opened a handle on the top.

Soon, a stream of yellow-brown honey flowed out along the opening, passed through the sieve, and finally flowed into the bottom basin, leaving some impurities on the gauze.

Yu Fei could even see the corpses of some bees, some with limbs and arms, and the broken wings of some bees.

The beekeeper seemed to be accustomed to this, and there was no emotion on his face. After seeing that the pot was half full, he turned off the switch on the honey shaker, and waited for the honey on the filter to flow into the pot.

The beekeeper fumbled for a few glass jars in the house for spare use. While waiting, she asked Fei, "You just said that you have a farm. What do you grow? If soybeans and wheat like yours Yes, that's not enough wages."

"The main thing is to grow greenhouse vegetables, and by the way, some medicinal materials." Yu Fei said.

After finishing speaking, he asked: "Listen to you, don't you look like a local? Where is your hometown?"

The beekeeper did not answer, but looked up at the beekeeper, who said, "We are from Lucheng."

Yu Fei grumbled and said, "It's not too far away, it's about two hundred miles, and it will take more than two hours to get there by car."

At this time, all the honey on the strainer had leaked out. The beekeeper changed a basin and repeated the work just now, and the beekeeper began to fill the glass bottles with honey.

"It's not far, but it's not easy to go home." The beekeeper said, "Just like what my wife said, as long as you stay at home for one day all year round, you will lose one day's money."

While distributing the honey, the beekeeper complained: "I told you long ago that you will not be allowed to keep bees. It is much better to go home and do some business casually, and you don't have to suffer all over the world."

"Didn't I tell you not to follow me at the beginning of this year?" The beekeeper man also had something to say: "I said I'm fine by myself, and you have to follow me."

"Is it okay if I don't follow you? You've lived most of your life, and you can't even wash your own clothes. If I don't follow you, maybe you'll starve to death."

Not to be outdone, the beekeeper said, "Now that there is no one at home, what do you want me to do at home alone? Do you play mahjong every day? With the money you earn, how much money will you have left after paying the school fees for your children?"
