Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Chapter 343 Getting Honey

Early the next morning.

The villagers, wearing mesh hats with joy on their faces, carried wooden buckets and went into the woods, leading the way to make wishes.

I was busy with farm work and fishing some time ago, and I almost forgot to make a wish to raise wild bees in the woods.

It was not until that day when Uncle Wang helped Village Chief Gu process the fish and asked him to make a wish that he remembered to make a wish.

The lychee flowers on the mountain have long since withered and formed fruits. There is no nectar left now, so it is time to collect honey.

As for extracting honey, with Zhu Chongli as an experienced veteran, there was no need for Xu Yuan to explain anything. Just watching him do it once, everyone would know how to do it.

"Oh my goodness, how much honey is this! This is simply making a fortune!" Chen Dafu couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Yes, I've looked for beehives in the mountains before, but there weren't this many." Zhu Chongli was surprised and couldn't help but sigh.

"I think the girl has a good idea. Who would have thought that we could successfully raise bees?" Uncle Wang praised, and a hint of pride appeared in his eyes when he saw Xu Yuan.

Everyone praised Xu Yuan, and Zhu Chongli gave the first piece of honeycomb he cut to Xu Yuan.

Xuyuan didn't hesitate to take it, broke off a small piece and put it in his mouth.

"How is it?" Li Junyong asked curiously.

"Very sweet."

When Li Junyong heard this, his eyes lit up. He moved closer to Zhu Chongli, gently broke off a small piece of honeycomb and put it in his mouth. "It's real. It's really sweet."

By the way, he broke off a little bit and put it into his father's mouth. It was the first time for Li Dali to eat honey, and his eyes were filled with shock.

"Ah, it's urgent. I have to go get my honey. Uncles, I'm leaving first." After saying that, he pulled his father and walked quickly towards his bellows.

Everyone came forward and broke off a little bit and put it into their mouths. Gu Qinghan, who was standing next to Xu Yuan, didn't even need to stretch out his hand. He just opened his mouth and took a bite of the honeycomb that was handed to him. His smile was sweeter than the honey.

After tasting the rare honey, everyone dispersed and started to take honey from their own homes.

Originally, Uncle Wang wanted to help Xu Yuan get the honey first, but when he saw that Gu Qinghan had already stepped forward to help, he hurriedly grabbed Uncle Liu who was about to step forward. The two old men looked at each other, raised the corners of their mouths, turned around and left silently.

Gu Qinghan followed Xu Yuan to the two beehives. He first checked to see if the mesh hat on his head was properly put on, then looked at Gu Qinghan beside him, who was wearing gloves.

It's better to be careful, because the sting of this wild bee is no joke.

"Ayuan, it's okay, open the lid." Gu Qinghan adjusted the mesh hat on his head and nodded to Xu Yuan.

When the lid was opened, groups of bumblebees flew out of the box.

Gu Qinghan picked up a partition, which was crowded with bumblebees. Gu Qinghan shook it to drive away the bumblebees on the partition. After all the bumblebees were driven away, the yellow honeycomb appeared.

Xu Yuan took a knife and cut all the honey from the honeycomb into the wooden barrel. After repeating the operation several times, he finally took out all the honey from the two beehives. The two large barrels were full and he closed the lids.

Gu Qinghan helped to carry it, while Xu Yuan carried the two empty buckets and went to where his beehives were placed.

This is another repeated operation.

When it was almost the 9th hour, everyone happily went down the mountain carrying wooden buckets.

"Wait for me, girl Xuyuan. I will extract the honey, put it in jars and send it to your house." Chen Dafu shouted to Xuyuan happily, and he did not forget the agreement he made with Xuyuan at the beginning.

I have never seen so much honey in my life. This is the first time in my life that I am so grateful to the hardworking bumblebees. They are not just small animals; they are making money for me.

"Hahaha……"

Chen Dafu hummed a little tune all the way, smiling so hard that his teeth were showing. He walked down the mountain quickly without even taking a breath, despite his chubby figure.

Other villagers also said that they had dealt with it and would send it to Xu Yuan’s home.

The forest was filled with laughter, and even the breeze brought a hint of sweetness.

……

Gu Qinghan carried a load of honey barrels on one shoulder. Xu Yuan suggested several times that they each carry their own buckets and go back home, but Gu Qinghan shook his head and refused.

How could I let Xuyuan carry it when I'm here?

He walked steadily and slowed down his pace so that Xuyuan could keep up with him. The two of them walked slowly side by side.

"I think that Yuan Yatou and Qinghan boy are together. It's really cause for celebration." Uncle Wang looked at the two people walking side by side. Their backs seemed to be a perfect match.

"Why do you think so? I still feel that Qinghan is the one who is pursuing Renyuan unilaterally. How come those two are so close just because of you?" Uncle Liu glanced at the two people who had already walked far away and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Hey, you still don't understand Yuan girl. You didn't see it just now. Yuan girl personally handed the thing to Qinghan's mouth. You didn't see how Qinghan was smiling, tut tut."

Uncle Wang's face was full of smiles when he thought of the scene just now.

"Old Wang, you are so mean. Why didn't you remind me?" Uncle Liu couldn't help but say with regret after listening to Uncle Wang's description.

"Oh, today is such a good day!"

"Let's go back and refine the honey. I hope Yuan girl and Qinghan boy will be as sweet as this honey."

Xu Yuan suddenly felt an itch in his nose and sneezed.

"What's wrong? Did you catch a cold?"

Xuyuan chuckled and said, "No, maybe someone is talking about me."

"Big sister! You're finally back!"

Before I reached the gate of the courtyard, I saw many Japanese fruits pulling at the gate, shouting excitedly at me, waving wildly, and then jumping and running towards me.

It was the first time that Gu Qinghan saw such a lively side of Xuanyuan. Compared with what he saw a year ago, Xuanyuan was much more lively and outgoing.

When he saw Gu Qinghan, he greeted him enthusiastically.

"What's going on that makes you so excited?" Xu Yuan touched the heads of many Japanese fruits and asked knowingly.

"Sister, you are asking even though you already know the answer. I ran back as soon as the class was over, waiting for good news from you." Xuanyu pouted and muttered.

"I won't tease you anymore. Let's talk when we get back." Xu Yuan took the hands of the two little kids and walked into the yard.

After Gu Qinghan put the food in the wooden barrel, he stayed again to enjoy a sumptuous lunch at the urging of many Japanese confectioners.

Poor Gu Qingming, who was waiting at the door of his house for his elder brother to come back.

"You silly child, come back and eat first. Your brother might have gone to your sister's house to help you make a wish. He might even stay to eat for free. Don't expect your brother to come back so soon."

As he was talking, Xu Qing couldn't help but sigh, it's too late to keep your son when he grows up!
