Song Tan's Notes

Chapter 90. Honey and Growth

"no."

Song Tan said it confidently and confidently: "You forgot, we bought these bees from uncle beekeepers, and they work for our family."

"This is the pollen picked from our field and the nectar brewed. My sister will leave a part for them to raise their children later, and the rest will be shaken away."

"It's normal, just like Jojo works for the family and her sister pays Jojo."

Qiao Qiao could not understand, but at this moment, with an "oh" sound, she carefully took the brush to gently sweep away those bees.

His movements were extremely gentle, slow and light.

Song Tan stood there holding the spleen, not urging him at all.It took a full 10 minutes for the bees to be brushed away, leaving flat and flat combs of varying shades of yellow.

Putting the nest on the basin, Song Tan took the knife and pointed it out carefully to Qiao Qiao:

"Look, the white ones here are the children of bees, and their larvae are hatching inside."

"So they left a lot of honey for the children to eat. These sisters don't move. Let's cut the half of the bee pupae."

"Didn't you just ask why you cut honey? Because we have to take a knife and cut off the top layer of white beeswax..."

"The knife must be as flat as possible, not force, lightly, a little..."

Song Tan's action was actually fast and steady, but for Qiao Qiao's sake, it was still slow.

After the whole piece is cut, the honey is no longer protected by beeswax, and it has slowly started to flow out.

She turned the nest again: "Come on, let's try the remaining half of Jojo."

Qiaoqiao took the knife, hesitantly dared to go forward: "I'm afraid I cut it wrong and cut their children."

This question is very unsolved.

Even the most skilled beekeepers, sometimes with quick hands, will inevitably cut the bee pupae.

Song Tan gave up the usual way of coaxing children, but said seriously: "But if you don't do it, you won't be able to get honey. These bees have no economic value, and they are like raising them in vain."

"It's been a long time, and no one has taken care of them. It's so cold in winter that they might freeze to death in a heavy snow."

"If Jojo would be braver, be more careful, and take it slow at this time. You may make mistakes and be sad at first, but when you get used to it later, it won't happen again."

This sentence is many and complicated, but Qiaoqiao actually understood the overall meaning.

He stood there, hesitated for a long time, and finally clenched the knife.

Song Tan also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Just like this, slowly, little by little, be careful not to cut your hands."

"Look, the little bees are waiting by the side, and when we're done, they can go home again."

She instructed Jojo to lay the knife as flat as possible and move forward little by little—

"ah!"

Jojo screamed suddenly.

Song Tan looked again and saw that his blade made a wrong move forward, and shoveled out the first three bee pupa larvae. Bai Huahua's larvae were cut in two, apparently dead.

He stood there, holding the knife, Song Tan clearly saw tears rolling in his eyes, but this time, the other party just didn't cry.

I just sniffed, carefully picked out the larvae, and went on to do it again.

Song Tan also breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that she must live longer than Jojo, but her parents didn't know.

And they don't want to put this responsibility on their daughter. If Jojo can feed herself by raising bees in the future, then they will be very happy.

It took Qiaoqiao 10 minutes to peel off the beeswax on one side of such a small honeycomb.

Afterwards, Song Tan put the nest spleen into the honey shaker beside him.

There are two splints in the middle of the honey shaker, and the nests are stuffed in like a document, one on the left and right sides, and then the shaker can be turned to quickly shake the honey flowing inside.

Works like a washing machine spin dry.

There are five nests in a box, and there are five boxes here.

Qiao Qiao became more and more proficient in doing it. It took half an hour to do one side at the beginning, and it could be finished in 10 minutes later. This afternoon's progress is not insignificant.

However, when he is skilled, it will be dark.

The two rearranged the beehives, Qiaoqiao carried the basin, Song Tan held the heavy honey bucket, and came down from the mountain again.

It's dark and I can't see the tea leaves. In addition, I have to pick tea leaves tonight. Wulan is almost ready to cook.

Seeing her come back with a bucket at this moment, she walked with ease, her expression was pleasant, and she said with a smile, "I said, how can honey be produced so quickly, can't it be brewed for a few days when the pollen is in hand?"

Who would have thought to turn around and look, hey!There is still a lot in this cylindrical barrel.

Ulan said "ouch" and couldn't help complaining about her daughter: "Why don't you say anything with so much honey? We haven't washed the jars we prepared at home."

At this moment, I hurriedly set up a pot to boil water again, and quickly put all the glass jars prepared in advance into it and boiled it.

Qiaoqiao carefully covered the honey bucket with gauze, then raised her chest and said loudly: "Today's honey was shaken by Qiaoqiao!"

"Ah!" Wulan praised indifferently: "Jojo is awesome!"

She thought it was Jojo who was in charge of turning the handle.

If it was normal, Qiao Qiao would definitely not have noticed her perfunctory, but today he really worked hard, bent over and worked for a few hours.

Now my back hurts and my hands hurt.

At this moment, he said aggrieved: "Mom, I did it all." Wulan was stunned for a moment.

Song Tan hurriedly explained: "Yes. From taking the spleen to cutting the beeswax, and finally shaking the honey, it was all done by Qiao Qiao, and I was responsible for helping."

"Really?" Ulan was also shocked.

Really, Jojo can do it herself, so what can't you do? "

She said of course.

A six-year-old child already understands a lot of things, not to mention that Qiaoqiao has been able to control her body and strength well for so many years.

It's just a lack of such meticulous and patient teaching.

After all, there is so much life at home, and it is impossible for parents to revolve around him every day.

I saw Wulan's eye circles instantly turn red, and then went to look at the honey bucket, full of pride:
"Good! Good! Jojo is amazing! Really amazing!"

On the other hand, he quickly shouted: "Lao Song! Come and see Lao Song, your son is back from cutting honey!"

On the other hand, he smiled happily: "After the bottle is bottled later, I will leave the first bottle for Mom to soak in water, and let me taste our Jojo's ability."

Jojo was very proud: "Okay! Leave it to mom! The rest will be sold to my sister to raise bees."

Song Sancheng had already trotted out of the room, and now he asked about the process again, watching Qiao Qiao's dancing gestures, his nose was still sore after a while.

Looking at Song Tan again, he said contentedly: "Okay, okay, you two brothers and sisters are good, better than anything else."

Song Tan was really afraid that they would cry.

But, pity the hearts of parents in the world.

She was really afraid that the two would cry, so she quickly reminded: "Mom, are your bottles ready?"
