Chapter 78 She Won't Let Them Help in vain
In addition to luring bees to build beehives, Qiao Xuan also cut some wild honey and took some beeswax. A large bag woven with hemp rope was placed inside a specially customized flat and thin wooden barrel, which was just right for storing honey.
Honey is fragrant and sweet, and is a rare delicacy for farmers.
Shao Xiaoqi and Taotao were very happy with the sweet honey. Qiao Xuan didn't allow them to eat too much, saying that eating too much would make them sick and ruin their appetite. Anyway, the honey was harvested and purified, and then stored in a porcelain jar. It can be kept for a long time and will not go bad. They can just eat it slowly in the future.
Moreover, honey is a good thing. If you brush a layer of it on the meat and then bake or fry it, it will be especially fragrant. It is also delicious when used to make sweet and sour spareribs.
Shao Xiaoqi and Taotao were so greedy after hearing this.
You know, although Shao Xiaoqi went up the mountain quite often, he did not dare to touch the beehive, so naturally he never got any honey.
He was very interested now and asked Qiao Xuan to teach him.
Shao Taotao was a little scared when looking at the swarm of bees, but she was also eager to learn.
Qiao Xuan taught them happily. She would need someone to help look after her beehives in the future, so once they had learned how to do it, she could give it to them for help.
Of course, she wouldn't let them help for nothing.
In addition to looking for beehives, luring bee colonies, and collecting honey, the three of them also took any wild roses, gardenias, osmanthus trees, etc. that they could find and brought them back, and Qiao Xuan did not skimp on them.
It is not easy to plant sixty acres of flowers, especially red roses and pomegranates, which are the main raw materials for making lipstick.
Whenever she found wild roses, Qiao Xuan would try to get rid of Shao Xiaoqi and Tao Tao as soon as she had the chance, and then use her supernatural powers to make the wild roses grow wildly.
At the end of the day, the three of them brought back five swarms of bees, harvested two and a half buckets of honey, two large bundles of wild roses on a shoulder pole, some delicious mushrooms, and Shao Xiaoqi hunted two pheasants.
I ran back and forth three times, but I gained a lot.
After coming back, Qiao Xuan ran to Shao Yunduan and turned around, smiling and saying, "I'm back!"
These seemingly unreasonable words instantly made Shao Yunduan's uneasy heart feel at ease, and he even subconsciously felt a little happy.
There was a hint of tenderness in his eyes, and his tone was very gentle: "I'm glad you're back. Did you encounter any trouble?"
"Of course, everything went well! We were very careful!"
Qiao Xuan talked to him with a smile for a while, then went to deal with those things.
Shao Yunduan looked at her leaving back, suddenly smiled, retracted his gaze, and continued to review his homework.
As soon as they got home, the three of them tacitly hid the honey in Shao Taotao's room.
This is a good thing, but the second and third wives must not know about it.
The second and third wives are also extremely shameless.
Second Uncle Shao and Third Uncle Shao tried to take advantage of the wages but failed. Knowing that the eldest wife provided meals to Shao Dali and his family, Shao Meiling and Shao Xiaozhi would come over at noon every day.
The two were young and girls, so it was normal for them to have lunch at their uncle's house, and no one was embarrassed to chase them away. They kept calling him "Uncle, Uncle", which made Uncle Shao very happy.
Fang secretly rolled her eyes. How much can two girls eat? The second and third wives taught their daughters to be greedy and not follow the right path. Who knows what they will become in the future. They will only harm themselves.
They will suffer in the future.
