In the afternoon, Lin Anshu called beekeeper Lao Sun to ask if he had time, saying she wanted to invite him over to teach her how to harvest honey.

Old Sun readily agreed.

After waking up from her afternoon nap, Lin Anshu drove over and picked up Lao Sun and her grandfather.

After taking Lao Sun and his grandfather to her mountain home, Lao Sun couldn't help but sigh.

"Little girl, your mountain village is very well maintained."

"I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel that even the air in the mountains is fresher than outside."

"Of course! Everything in these mountains was created by my An'an herself."

"My An'an is a proper college student," Grandpa said with pride.

"That girl is amazing, what's it to you? Look how smug you are."

“An’an is my granddaughter. My granddaughter is outstanding. How could I, as her grandfather, not be happy?”

"If you're so capable, why don't you bring up your granddaughter and talk about her too, humph!" Grandpa snorted.

"Old Deng, do you know what you look like right now?"

"Hmm? What does it look like?"

"Like a cat that has stolen some fish."

"You!" Grandpa was so angry that he blew up his beard.

Lin Anshu made no comment on the infighting between the two old men.

She just listened, occasionally covering her mouth and laughing.

"Oh, what... what is that?" Old Sun stopped in his tracks the moment his gaze fell on the enormous creature not far away.

"Look at you, making a fuss over nothing."

"Howling Celestial Dog, tsk tsk tsk, come here!" Grandpa waved to Howling Celestial Dog, which was not far away.

However, the celestial dog, who had come running over, jumped directly into Lin Anshu's arms and even brought its head close for her to pat.

"Hahaha, old Sun, look at him, does he even acknowledge you?"

"Laugh again, and I bet I'll get my dog, Xiaotian, to bite you!"

After humming, Grandpa turned to look at Lin Anshu with a gentle and kind expression and began to speak.

"An'an, it's only been a few days, but Xiaotianquan looks much more agile and handsome than before!"

"Woof~!" As if it understood its grandfather's praise, the dog turned its head sharply and winked at its grandfather in a friendly manner.

“Of course, my mom and I feed it the best food every day,” Lin Anshu said.

Whatever we eat at home, that's what the dog eats.

They also frequently give it big bones and special dog food with added "spirit" to its diet.

Now, not only has Xiaotianquan's injuries healed, but the dog also looks much more imposing than before.

The fur was so smooth and glossy; it looked and felt wonderful to touch.

His movements were as agile as a cheetah.

Lin's mother would also take time to bathe it and groom its fur.

It's no exaggeration to say that today's celestial hounds look like the kind of expensive, fierce, and powerful breed that makes people feel they can't afford them.

"An'an, haven't you thought about finding it a companion?"

"Won't it get bored by itself?"

"Grandpa, Xiaotian Dog has very high standards. When it meets someone it's destined to be with, it will naturally become a companion."

"..." Old Sun, who was standing to the side.

He reasonably suspected that Old Deng was using this incident to pressure his granddaughter into marriage.

In his opinion, at his age, why should he concern himself with the affairs of the younger generation?

Children have their own ideas; just respect and offer your blessings.

Mind too much, aren't you afraid of being disliked?

Seriously.

He'll have to give Old Deng a good talking-to when he gets back.

Soon, the group of three people and their dog arrived at their destination.

Old Deng, an experienced man, went over to take a look and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Your bees are amazing!!"

"Actually, we don't usually take care of them much. It's mainly because they're in bloom recently, so they're probably eating a lot."

"Come, I'll teach you how to harvest honey."

After saying that, Old Sun took out two incense sticks from his pocket, lit them, and then put his protective hat back on.

Then, place the necessary tools—a long, sharp knife and an iron basin—in the appropriate positions.

Hold the incense stick next to the beehive and use the smoke to scare away the bees.

Then, use a knife to cut the honeycomb into pieces.

This step is the most technically demanding.

It is necessary to cut the honeycomb while preventing serious injury or death to the bees.

There are bound to be some reluctant little bees still clinging to the cut-off honeycomb. At this point, Lao Sun will gently sweep them away and put them into an iron basin.

Place the honeycomb in a basin and wait for it to filter. After breaking it up slightly, you can let the honey flow out on its own.

The resulting honey is highly pure and of excellent quality.

"Look at this honey. It's truly all-natural, crystal clear, golden in color, and has a rich aroma."

"indeed."

After harvesting the honey, Lin Anshu followed Lao Sun's instructions and slowly filtered the remaining honey through a gauze.

Because this batch of bees was not fed sugar water and relied entirely on collecting nectar, the quality of the honey harvested this time is truly excellent.

Lin Anshu worked hard for a long time and finally collected nine jars of honey.

She then divided the nine jars of honey into eighteen smaller jars.

Before sending Grandpa Sun and Grandpa back home, Lin Anshu gave them plenty of time to talk.

And she slipped a small jar of honey to her grandfather.

They also packed a lot of bok choy and mustard greens from the field for Old Sun.

In the evening, she used the honey she had harvested to make a cup of honey water for everyone in the family.

Warm water is used; otherwise, if the temperature is too high, it will destroy the nutrients.

"This honey water is really delicious, sweet but not cloying at all," Lin's mother exclaimed after drinking it.

"Let me try it." Lin's father, whose eyes were glued to his book, also picked up his cup and took a sip.

"Wow, it really is delicious!"

"It tastes much better than honey water made from honey bought in the market." Mr. Lin's eyes lit up.

As for Grandma Lin and my maternal grandmother, they also liked them very much.

"An'an, the best honey comes from birds raised on your own farm."

"After drinking my own honey, I never want to buy honey from outside again; it's not pure at all."

“That’s right, that’s right.” Mr. Lin nodded.

“Secretary Zhang had previously told her cousin that once the honey was ready, she should let them know that they wanted to buy it.”

"Dad, Mom, what price do you think would be appropriate for this honey?" Lin Anshu asked.

"This can seems to weigh only half a pound? How about selling it for three or five hundred? After all, this quality is rarely seen on the market."

Lin's mother took out her phone and searched for honey on TaoTao.com. After sorting by price and checking the market prices, she cautiously spoke up.

In her opinion, the price she quoted was already very reasonable.

The top-ranked honey on Taotao.com is priced at 9999.

Even the second-best 500g serving is priced at 6000 yuan.

"This...it's so expensive." Mr. Lin hesitated.

"Expensive? How is it expensive? I'll give you three or five hundred, go to the market and see if you can buy honey this good."

After giving him a disapproving look, Lin's mother continued speaking.
