Chapter 19: A Bountiful Harvest of Wild Honey
The huge swarm of bees was suddenly enveloped by thick smoke, and the bees, unaware of the truth, fled in all directions and escaped to the farther mountains and forests.
After the bees ran away, Su Heng covered the fire with soil and extinguished it.
The next step is to stun the bees and collect the honey.
Song Wan had already lit the incense and placed it at the entrance of the cave. Su Heng took out the sickle and handed the bucket to her: "I'll cut it, you help me catch it."
"good."
Su Heng cut off the honeycomb along with the honeycomb with one stroke, and thick golden wild honey flowed out. The sweet smell could be smelled outside the cave.
The two of them worked together, and soon the two buckets were full.
So Su Heng handed in the big jar from the backpack.
In the end, two large buckets and a large jar were filled with wild honey, and the beehive was only slightly damaged.
Su Heng: "Looks like I can come back a few more times."
Song Wan nodded, and the two of them worked together to carry the bucket out.
Su Heng put on the backpack and picked up a bucket, and suddenly felt a huge pressure.
Fortunately, she has been exercising recently and her strength has increased a lot.
The descent was smooth and I didn't meet anyone.
The Lu family's house is close to the foot of the mountain and there are not many houses around.
When the honey was finally transported back to the Lu family's yard, Su Heng was almost exhausted and fell to the ground.
When Lu Mingchuan came to open the door, he looked at her, his eyes moved to the backpack and bucket beside her, and he helped her unload the backpack and carry it in.
After they entered the yard, Song Wan and Su Heng sat down on the steps at the kitchen door in a mess, catching their breath and not even having the strength to speak.
So Lu Mingchuan went into the house and poured water for the two of them.
Song Wan thanked him, and Su Heng took the drink without hesitation and drank it in big gulps, and only then did he calm down.
Su Heng thought of the honey she had carried on her back and said to Lu Mingchuan, "This honey is so sweet, would you like to try it?"
She dipped a little with her chopsticks and gave it to Lu Mingchuan. Although he didn't like sweet food, Lu Mingchuan still tasted it.
He nodded slightly: "Very sweet."
It is very sweet with a slight sour taste, very delicious and not greasy.
Song Wan, who was sitting next to him, holding the cup, suddenly felt a little redundant.
Then he said, "It's getting late, I'll go back first."
Su Heng hurriedly said, "Don't go. You've been busy for so long. Come stay and have dinner with us."
Song Wan shook her head and wanted to refuse, but Su Heng said, "It's late now. Will there be any food left when you return to the educated youth camp? I'm going to make some anyway, so why don't you stay and eat with us?"
Song Wan couldn't refuse anymore, so she went into the kitchen to replace Lu Mingchuan.
Lu Mingchuan went out and brought the honey that Su Heng had brought back into the house.
Because we collected the honey in a hurry, we cut off the honeycombs together, and some flower petals fell into the other bucket of honey.
With nothing else to do, he sat in the main room and started picking.
Su Heng and the others quickly prepared the meal, mainly thanks to Lu Mingchuan who had cooked the meal at home in advance. He watched carefully and luckily the food was not burnt.
So when Su Heng came back, she only had to cook, as there were eggs and vegetables bought a few days ago at home.
Since there was one more person eating, Su Heng prepared four dishes and a soup.
Stir-fried bacon with garlic, stir-fried wild rice stem, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, and a spinach and egg drop soup.
Song Wan was a little flattered when she saw these dishes. Compared to them, it was no exaggeration to say that she was barely able to eat coarse food at the educated youth camp.
Su Heng’s cooking skills are so good that you can tell without even tasting the food.
Song Wan: "No need to do so much, it's too much trouble for you."
Su Heng: "Why are you being polite? You are the first guest to visit my home since I came here, so you deserve some special treatment."
Unlike Chen Xiang and the others, they ran away when they saw Lu Mingchuan.
Song Wan couldn't help but laugh. She felt the sincerity in Su Heng's words and felt that Su Heng had really changed.
After spending the day together, Su Heng gave people a very comfortable feeling, and my mood unconsciously became better when I was with her.
After serving the dishes on the table, Su Heng scooped a little of the honey she had just received and used boiled water to make a cup for each person, which they could just treat as a drink.
She raised the enamel bar and motioned for everyone to touch it.
"cheers!"
Lu Mingchuan bumped into him and said softly, "Cheers."
Song Wan couldn't help but smile and said, "Cheers."
It is very satisfying for a cook to see others enjoy his or her cooking.
Lu Mingchuan is a relatively reserved person. Although Song Wan is also rather aloof, she will also praise Su Heng after being influenced by her.
Song Wan: "I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good."
"Not bad, right?" Su Heng was not modest.
The few of them had a harmonious meal and became much more familiar with each other.
After helping to clean up the dishes, Song Wan didn't stay any longer.
Because of the pleasant interactions that day, Song Wan, who was always cautious and unwilling to bother others, hesitated for the first time and said:
"Would it be convenient for me to temporarily store my bucket of honey with you? You can use it together, and leave me a small half. I'll bring a jar later to fill it up. It's not very convenient to go to the educated youth camp."
Everyone understands what this inconvenience means.
Su Heng readily agreed: "No problem, just come and get it when it's convenient for you."
"Then I'll trouble you."
"You're so polite."
Song Wan smiled. She wanted honey actually to make pills.
But carrying such a large bucket back to the educated youth site would easily attract attention and cause unnecessary trouble.
She couldn't use up all the pills she made, and since Su Heng was interested in it, she didn't mind giving the extra to her.
After Song Wan left, Su Heng began to think about how to deal with the honey.
We can’t finish all of this, so we have to sell some of it.
The harvest this year will not be good, so she needs to stock up on a lot of food to feel at ease.
Thinking of this, she put the honey into a slightly smaller jar and sealed it, so that the packaging would look better.
