"Strange..." Gao Xiaoshuan scratched his head, "Goudan and I had seen a large bush of wild ginger flowers here, but why are they gone now?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "..."

The memory of a six-year-old child really cannot be trusted too much.

She sighed silently: "Forget it, it's gone if it's gone. I'll ask Goudan next time."

Goudan is the son of Aunt Wang. Although Aunt Wang is stingy and likes to gossip behind her back, the son she gave birth to is a loyal one. The last time she was pushed to the ground by Zhao Ergou, he stood up and spoke for her.

Gao Xiaoshuan didn't believe it, so he searched around a few times.

The wild ginger flower was not found, but he found something else.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, look over there!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked in the direction he pointed and saw a wild beehive built under the canopy of a short tree.

The hive was very big. I don’t know how many years it had been here. It was as big as a whole basketball. The thick wild honey was almost overflowing!

Her eyes suddenly lit up. Wild honey is a good thing. Not only can it be eaten, it can also be added to soap to make honey-flavored soap. It has a very good nourishing effect!

"Sister Xiaoxiao, stay back." Gao Xiaoshuan had already found a long branch and was preparing to knock down the wild nest.

"Don't mess around, those bees are not vegetarians." Jiang Xiaoxiao hurriedly grabbed him and pointed to the bees buzzing around the hive.

These bees don't look like wasps, but the stings of wild bees are usually poisonous. Once stung, it's not as simple as a few small swellings.

She asked Gao Xiaoshuan to pick up some branches and fallen leaves and pile them under the honeycomb in the canopy. Then she took out the lighter given by her mother from her bag and lit the fallen leaves with Gao Xiaoshuan on her back.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, you still carry the fire seal with you?" When Gao Xiaoshuan saw the fire, he thought Jiang Xiaoxiao had used the fire seal.

Jiang Xiaoxiao coughed lightly and said nothing. He only directed Gao Xiaoshuan to pick up some damp firewood.

She was not used to using the fire folding device. It was far less portable than the small and exquisite lighter, but there was no such thing in this era, so she was extremely careful when using it.

Gao Xiaoshuan piled the collected firewood on the dead branches and leaves. The flames spread along the lit dead branches and covered the moist firewood. As the fire gradually grew stronger, thick smoke gradually rose and filled the air. Quickly wrap the honeycomb above...

With a "buzzing" sound, the bees in the hive flew out one after another, and they were too afraid to approach the hive due to the smoke.

Jiang Xiaoxiao waited patiently for a while, and waited until the honey was blown away by the smoke before letting Gao Xiaoxuan pick the hive.

Gao Xiaoshan climbed up the tree trunk quickly with her hands and feet, quickly picked off the honeycomb, and then slid down the tree in a flash. Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but envy her. She also had small arms and legs. Why wasn't she as nimble as Gao Xiaoshan?

"Sister Xiaoxiao, here it is." Gao Xiao tied the tree and handed over the entire hive as if it were a treasure.

"What, Brother Xiao Shuan, can you give me all the hive?" Jiang Xiaoxiao scratched his head in embarrassment. The hive was discovered by Gao Xiao Shuan. Logically speaking, he should get half of it, but the honey in the hive She has great uses...

"Of course I'll give them all to you." Gao Xiaoxuan said matter-of-factly, as if this hive should have belonged to Jiang Xiaoxiao. "It was you who came up with the method to drive away those bees, otherwise I wouldn't be able to collect them." The villagers were there before. I encountered wild honey on the mountain, but not only did I not get any honey later, I was also stung into a pig's head, and my face was covered with pustules. It was scary to look at it.

"Okay." Jiang Xiaoxiao took the honeycomb and stuffed it into the basket. Gao Xiaosuan was more generous than she expected. Such a large amount of wild honey was worth a lot of money. She might give him some extra compensation later.

Jiang Xiaoxiao put away the hive and was about to leave, but stopped after taking two steps.

Wait, there is a beehive here, and bees live by collecting nectar. Doesn’t that mean there must be a large number of flowers growing nearby...

She quickly pulled Gao Xiaoshuan to catch up with the flying bees. If she followed the direction of the bees' departure, she should be able to find the flowers she wanted!

Walking through the grove, Jiang Xiaoxiao faintly smelled the fragrance of osmanthus. When he opened the bushes in front of him, he found a large osmanthus bush not far ahead!

Looking at the golden osmanthus flowers, Jiang Xiaoxiao almost jumped with excitement.

Osmanthus has a very fragrant smell, perfect for making scented soap!

She quickly asked Gao Xiaosuan to help collect sweet-scented osmanthus. She reluctantly left the place until the backpacks and baskets they brought were filled.

Jiang Xiaoxiao secretly made a note of this place in her mind, waiting to bring her mother to kiss her next time. Her mother has space and can fit in as many sweet-scented osmanthus as she collects.

After returning home from the mountain, Jiang Xiaoxiao asked Gao Xiaoshuan to pour all the sweet-scented osmanthus collected on the bamboo mat to dry.

And she returned to the house with the beehive in her arms. She wanted to share her findings on the mountain with her mother, but she found that Jiang Wei was not in the room.

She went to look for the site where the house was being built, but no one was there.

"Xiaoxiao, your mother has gone to town." Master Zheng was studying cement at the side. When he saw this, he pointed in the direction of the back room, "Your mother said that the goat milk has been squeezed and put in the house."

Jiang Xiaoxiao had no choice but to return to the yard alone. Gao Xiaoshuan was still drying the sweet-scented osmanthus. He followed Jiang Xiaoxiao's instructions to clean out the debris inside, leaving only the clean petals.

When he saw Jiang Xiaoxiao coming over, he said, "Sister Xiaoxiao, my sister and your mother have gone to town. Do you know what they are doing?"

"I don't know either." Jiang Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Ignore them for now. Brother Xiao Shuan, come and help me."

She entered the kitchen, where Qiu Lianniang and Sister Zhao were washing vegetables and cooking. Chun Ya was helping out. Chun Miao was not there. She usually delivered goods to the town at this time, but today her mother also went to the town with her. Come on, is it to buy some meat and vegetables for the workers?

"Xiaoxiao, are you hungry? There are freshly baked cakes here." Qiulian Niang saw her entering the kitchen, so she stuffed two cakes over.

Jiang Xiaoxiao took the cake, handed one to Gao Xiaoshuan behind him, then bit into the cake and said, "Aunt Qiulian, help me move the porcelain jar on top of the cupboard."

"What do you want the porcelain jar for?" Although Qiu Lianniang was confused, she did as she was told.

Jiang Xiaoxiao finished the pancake in his hand in two or three mouthfuls, took the porcelain jar, winked at her playfully and said, "You will know later."

After saying that, she turned around and told Gao Xiaosuan, who was in a daze behind her: "Brother Xiaosuan, go dig some plant ash out of the stove."

"...Oh, okay." Gao Xiaosuan held the hot pancakes in both hands and nodded in response.

The smell of pancakes penetrated his nostrils, and he couldn't help but swallow. The pancakes were made of a mixture of white flour and buckwheat noodles, with a layer of golden egg liquid attached to the surface and mixed with wild vegetables. Just looking at it It just feels delicious.

He couldn't bear to eat it, so he simply stuffed the pancake into his arms. He wanted to keep it and share it with his sister and mother when he went home. (End of chapter)
