Chapter 256: Being remembered again]
Grandpa Xia was very fast, and it felt like the blink of an eye had brought back the basin and wire.
Qin Yian began to arrange tasks for everyone. Grandpa and dad stood on one side, holding the lattice box filled with honey, and grandma was below holding a basin ready to receive the honey. Qin Yian and mother held the wire, one end each, and inserted it into the gap under the lattice of the box, and pulled it down hard at the same time, and the honey was completely cut off, and a piece was taken out neatly.
The box was big, and the lattice was also big, so this one filled a basin.
Qin Yian also picked up a piece to taste it, and was conquered at once. It was the best honey she had ever eaten.
As expected, the bees she had raised in the space for a period of time were different from those that had collected pollen from fruits and vegetables grown in the space. Not only did they have more honey, but they also had a unique taste.
The grid in Qin Yi's hand that had been used up with honey was placed at the bottom of the beehive.
He took out another grid, which was also full of honey.
"Haha, this is too much. I'll get another basin." Qin Jiaguo was excited and ran out in a hurry to get it.
"Dad, get one more. There's another grid below."
"Okay."
Simply leave one grid for the bees and take out the rest. You also have to control the number of bees in the greenhouse and not let it get too many. The number of bees is about the same now.
After Qin Jiaguo brought two basins over, their family followed the first step to get honey.
Qin Yian took out the grid full of bee pupae. Old Master Xia's eyes lit up and he said excitedly:
"I still remember when I was just a young soldier who had just joined the army, we found a big beehive while on duty. It was as big as the wellhead of our yard, which surprised us. The bee pupae and young bees were taken by the kitchen staff, wrapped in flour, and fried. They were so delicious that I still remember it vividly. At that time, I hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and the beehives were considered meat. A group of old men were so greedy that they couldn't get enough of them."
Qin Yian had never eaten fried young bees and pupae, and now he wanted to try the taste: "How about we fry this today?"
"Sure, sure." Old Master Xia agreed quickly, smiling the happiest.
"Okay, I'll do it." Grandma Wu Qiuyan clapped her hands and took over the job.
The family happily carried the three large basins out of the greenhouse.
Qin Yian closed the shed and looked at the time on her watch. Oh my god, it was almost time to go to work.
She hurriedly took out a notebook from her bag, turned to the page about processing honey, handed it over and ran.
"The honey still needs to be filtered. I have written the steps in my notebook, but it's getting late now. I have to go to work. Grandpa and grandma, you can just play drums at home. If you are bored, bring your old friends over to play drums and have fun together."
Qin Yian explained while pushing the bicycle out.
"Oh, by the way, just leave a little of this honey for me, you two can deal with the rest as you like, the same goes for the bee pupae, there are still some in those greenhouses, it doesn't matter, we can get some more when we have time, I'm leaving now, see you in the evening."
Xia Xiulan was looking at the honey happily, and when she saw the girl getting anxious, she also realized that it was getting late, so she stood up and followed to push the bicycle.
"Look at the time, I have to go to work too, I will come back to see you at noon."
When everyone is anxious, they are anxious, because the working hours of the family of three are all 8:30.
Qin Jiaguo followed closely behind, pushing his bicycle and hurried out: "Mom and Dad, I'm leaving first. You don't have to cook for lunch. I'll bring it back for you. By the way, my parents will come to play with you later."
"Go ahead, go ahead. You don't have to bring lunch. I have to eat at home. If you have enough time, don't eat outside. You can come back."
Wu Qiuyan said, waving her hand nonchalantly. Her eyes were always focused on the honey on the table and the notebook Qin Yian handed over. She put on her reading glasses and approached the notebook.
"How did you do this? Let me take a look."
The same thing happened to Old Master Xia. It didn't matter whether they left or not. Anyway, they had good food to eat and someone to accompany them. Now they had something to do.
These bee pupae and honey were really rare.
Wu Qiuyan patted the old man beside her, "Old Xia, go call my elder sister over."
"Okay, okay, don't do it yet, wait for me to come back and do it together, I'll learn." Old Master Xia gave a few instructions and walked out excitedly.
In a few minutes, Old Master Xia came back, followed by Old Lady Huo and Old Master Gu, and behind them were Qin Zhengyi and his wife.
"Old woman, I'm back, come on, I just met my in-laws and Old Master Gu not far from the door."
"Yanzi, I heard that you made honey, let me see it." Huo Jingshu ran over happily.
Wu Qiuyan took off the lids on the basins one by one, pointing at the honey inside and calling out.
"You are all here, come here quickly, it's just right for us to make this honey together. We took out the bees raised in the vegetable shed of Su An and his family this morning. There is a lot of honey, so we took out a grid. Let's filter the honey and eat it. Come and make it together." "
Okay."
"Come."
Several people gathered around the table, looking at the two large basins of honey on it with eager expressions.
The six elderly people divided the work, moved the things into the yard, found the tools, and worked hard, making it very hard.
Finally, after filtering, they found a few glass jars in the house that had been used up after eating canned food. Each jar was 500 ml, and the two basins of honey were filled with 5 jars.
The two basins that had been filled with honey were taken by several old comrades, and hot water was poured into them and rolled around a few times to allow the honey on the wall of the basin to fully melt into the water.
Several old comrades each took a bowl and drank the water in the basin.
Zhao Lijuan drank the water in the bowl in one gulp, leaned back in the chair, looked at the greenhouse not far away, and sighed comfortably: "I wouldn't change this day even if a god came."
"Yes, this honey is really delicious, I like it."
Huo Jingshu felt the warmth in her stomach, and then spread to her whole body. It was very comfortable, as if all the minor ailments in her body were gone. After vegetables, she fell in love with honey again. She was a little embarrassed that she was thinking about it again.
Wu Qiuyan pushed one of the cans in front of her.
"If you like to drink, then take a can. An An told us to leave some for her when she left this morning. We can handle the rest. There are five cans here. Each of our three families can have one. The remaining two cans are for An An and her mother. Come, let's divide it."
"Okay, share the honey."
Zhao Lijuan said this with a smile, and Huo Jingshu felt relieved. She picked up the jar in front of her and smiled happily.
"I'm so sorry, I won't refuse, I really like drinking this honey."
