Age: My Small World

Chapter 121 Royal Jelly

have lunch.

Holding a bowl of corn porridge, Yang Jun couldn't help shaking his head.

"Baby, just eat it, it will be fine after a while."

When I saw him shaking his head, I thought he couldn't eat anymore. After all, he had been eating rice, steamed buns and other refined grains for a while. The difference between going back to his previous standard was too big.

It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Many people could not help but curse their mothers, saying that the old women who cooked had withheld food and not given them rice.

Aunt Seven Yao Taohua immediately came out with a spatula.

"Who's yelling?"

"It's you again, Wang Zhongliu. You're a lonely and lazy man, why are you yelling? I never saw you in the fields when I was working, but you wandered around all day long, and you still have the nerve to come to eat." Aunt Qi rolled her eyes, full of anger.

Wang Chongliu was not the sixth son of the Wang family, but a bachelor with the surname Wang. He went to Fanjiazhuang to avoid disaster in the 1940s and stayed there ever since.

After the world was pacified, the Fan and Wang families in the village rose to power. He took the opportunity to announce that his surname was also Wang and he should belong to the Wang family. However, the five brothers of the Wang family ignored him. He simply changed his name to Wang Chongliu, which might have scared people who didn't know him.

The children in the Wang family were often fooled by him into calling him Sixth Uncle, but in fact he was older than the eldest son in the Wang family.

When Wang Zhongliu saw the captain's wife, the women's captain Aunt Qi, he instantly became a little scared.

Although he is in his fifties, he is very cowardly.

Even so, he still muttered:
"A few days ago, it was all rice porridge, but today it was suddenly changed to cornmeal. Who knows if you hid the rice?"

"Hide? Why would I hide rice? We've already taken the pot out. Can I still take the rice home and cook it?"

"Listen up everyone, we've run out of rice for now, but we'll definitely have more in the future. Now, let's all tighten our belts and focus on eating at the steel mill first so we have the strength to work. We can still get enough to eat cornmeal in the village, right? Then when the grain harvest in the south comes around, we'll have rice too."

In the north, people can harvest sweet potatoes in winter, while in the south, they harvest rice.

I have to say that Aunt Qi is quite capable of becoming the women's team leader. She calmed everyone down with just a few words.

Only Wang Zhongliu was still complaining a little, but no one paid any attention to him.

"Hmph, I'll go home and eat meat by myself." He said this before leaving, just to save face.

Everyone knows exactly what his home is like.

in the afternoon.

Yang Jun did not go to chop wood again, but went to Dongwang Village. He did not forget to plant some bamboo.

Not only are bamboo shoots delicious, but bamboo houses also need to be made.

I originally wanted to bring Cheng Xiaoyu with me, but she ended up going to sell ramie with everyone else.

Li Xiaohua took her second sister home, so he didn't join in the fun, which made Cheng Xiaoyu quite regretful.

Dongwang Village.

I haven't been here for a long time, but the scenery is still the same.

A pond is vaguely visible on the southern hillside, and people coming and going down the mountain are all carrying water.

There is no running water now, so everyone has to carry water.

It is worth mentioning that he has now taken over the task of fetching water for Yang Jun's family, but my mother and second sister always fetch it back when he is not around.

Fortunately, the village well was not far from his home, only about two hundred meters away.

He did not look for the bamboo forest first, but after taking out some honey, he slowly walked towards Yu Li's house.

In the familiar earthen house, Yu Li was not cutting grass for the pigs this time, but learning to make beehives. After all, the pigs belonged to the team and she didn't need to feed them.

On the contrary, beekeeping techniques can be learned, and perhaps they can help you make a good living in the future. After the village became a production team, honey became a collective asset, but beekeepers were still necessary. Honey can be used to make sugar, which is also a source of collective income, and most importantly, it is quite valuable.

"Classmate Yu Li, are you at home?"

Yang Jun knocked on the door politely.

Yu Li almost dropped the beehive in her arms when she suddenly saw her classmates whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She only stood up after her grandfather took it over.

"Yang Jun, why are you here?" Yu Li said happily.

When she was in school, besides having a decent relationship with Cheng Xiaoyu, the only one she had was Yang Jun, so she was naturally happy now.

"Come in quickly, I'll make you some sugar water."

She enthusiastically took his arm and dragged him into the yard. This was the simple courtesy of the place and it was nothing serious.

But after staying in the village for a few more days, Yu Li started speaking in dialect again and rarely used Mandarin. He also changed his speech to adapt to the local customs.

"Yu Li, there's no need to make sugar water. I brought some good stuff here." He raised the bottle in his hand.

"What is this?" Yu Li asked when she saw this.

"Royal jelly, I found it by chance, and I brought it to the old man to make some water to drink."

He didn't dare say that he cultivated it himself.

Yu Li's grandfather is the master in this field. Lying in front of him is like showing off one's skills in front of an expert, and it is like shooting oneself in the foot.

At this time, Yu Li's grandfather finally spoke: "Royal jelly? Let me take a look."

It’s not that the old man didn’t want to talk to Yang Jun, it’s just that his granddaughter was too enthusiastic just now and didn’t give him a chance.

Now when I heard him mention royal jelly, I couldn't help but stand up.

Yang Jun happily handed over the bottle: "Old man, it's genuine, it must be royal jelly."

Not only that, this is produced by the bees he cultivated with spiritual water, and it is probably much better than authentic royal jelly.

In addition to the effect of spiritual water, this royal jelly is probably able to strengthen the body.

Of course, the so-called royal jelly is actually ordinary honey picked by Yang Jun.

However, he has discovered through differentiation that the taste of honey in his own little world is indeed no worse than royal jelly.

The old man asked Yu Li to get a spoon and then gently scraped the edge.

When the spoon entered his mouth, the old man's eyes lit up.

"it is good!"

Yu Li next to her was also very curious, and after seeing this, she was sure that this was really the so-called royal jelly.

"Yang Jun, where did you get this royal jelly? I know my grandfather only got it once."

"Haha, I got it by chance. I didn't pay much attention at the time. I only found out it tasted different when I got it home. I guessed it was royal jelly, but it turned out to be true."

"Then we can't take yours. Royal jelly is precious. Just keep it for yourself."

"Yes, kid, this royal jelly is a good thing. It can be used to improve your mind and body. Both the elderly and children can drink some. It is good for the body. Take it back."

After the old man confirmed that it was royal jelly, he didn't want to take his things back.

Yang Jun smiled and said, "Old man, you are my beekeeping master. I'm giving you some royal jelly as a gift to you. I have a big jar of royal jelly at home, even more than this. Don't worry, you can keep it."

Hearing this, the old man hesitated. After all, he had only seen royal jelly a few times in his life.
