Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 535
Nowadays, people in Liujiagou rarely go to the mountains to collect wild honey, mainly because it is not cost-effective.Picking wild honey is a matter of luck, and sometimes you can't find one for half a day, which is a waste of time.Even if a hive is found, it may be a bee colony that was just divided that year, and there is very little honey in it.

Liu Jun surprisingly caught a bee, then took out a white silk cocoon from his pocket, took out a piece of white silk and wrapped it around the bee's leg, then let it go.

"Brother Junqi, you take this thing with you wherever you go." Seeing the silkworm cocoon in his hand, Liu Junhao praised it.

"Hey, who knows when we will encounter bees, how can we do without them?" Liu Junqi replied, and his steps quickened.

The length of white silk was conspicuous, and swayed behind the water-bees, so they followed without much trouble.

Not far away, Liu Junhao saw yellow spots on the leaves beside him, and hurriedly shouted: "It's not far away, look, it's bee droppings."

Experienced bee collectors know that bees leave a lot of droppings as they leave the hive.The bee dung is large at one end and small at the other end, usually the large end faces the direction of the hive.As long as you look in this direction, if you find that the peak dung is getting denser and denser, it means that you are very close to the hive.

Sure enough, before walking far, I saw the water bee burrowing into a crevice in the stone.

"Xiaohao, hold the plastic bag for me later." Liu Junqi really carried everything on his body, and took out a thick plastic bag in a blink of an eye.

"You didn't bring any tools, how do you pick them? What if you get stung?" Seeing Liu Junqi turn around and walk towards the crack in the stone, Mr. Wang asked.

"Bees are less active in autumn and winter. As long as they move slowly, they will not sting casually. Besides, there is nothing to be afraid of when they sting. This thing is less toxic." Liu Junqi responded casually, reaching out to break a stone.

Buzzing... Immediately, dozens of bees were startled, and flew out with flapping wings.

Unbiased, one of them flew towards Liu Junhao who was behind, and landed on the back of his hand.Liu Junhao's arm stiffened immediately, and he did not dare to move.The thing crawled on the hand for a few seconds, then flapped its wings and flew away.

"X, almost got stung." He breathed a sigh of relief, and then opened the bag.

From this angle, the situation inside the crevice of the stone can already be seen clearly.The washbasin-sized hive was covered with dark brown bees, layer upon layer, which was terrifying.

Liu Junqi swiped casually, like wiping glass, and wiped away the clump of bees.Liu Junhao was also amazed by his courage.It seems that people have gone to the mountains to collect honey in the past two years, and they have developed their skills.

As the swarm disperses, the orange-yellow and dark-brown honey inside is also revealed.It is normal to have this mixed color. Wild honey is different from domesticated honey. The nectar they collect is very mixed. When various nectars are mixed together, the color is naturally different.

Liu Junqi carefully cut open the hive, and cut off the shiny and heavy pieces of honey.

He didn't cut it all, but left half untouched.This is also the rule of the bee collectors in Daqingshan. You can’t take all the wild honey, but keep half of it, so that the bees can survive the winter, so that you can still harvest honey in the next year.If the water is exhausted, the hive of bees will be completely destroyed.

"Not bad, not bad, three catties and four taels." Liu Junhao lifted it with his hand and said.

At this time, Mr. Wang raised his head to look at it, and said, "Junqi, sell these to me. I waited a few times for Xiaohao to get half a catty, which is too little."

"Grandpa, I don't want to either, the key is that the output of honey is only so small." Hearing what the other party said, Liu Junhao immediately complained for himself.Now tourists who come to Liujiagou know that honey is a good thing, and come to buy it one after another, but the production of this thing is limited, and he can't make it out no matter how much it is.

"Grandpa, if you want it, I can give you half a catty. What kind of money will you give?" Liu Junqi was very straightforward, "I won't say anything about Xiaohao, his family doesn't lack these things, and I will get half a catty for each of you later."

After such a toss, it was almost noon.Several people did not continue to stay in the mountains, and wandered down the mountain all the way.

When he got home, Liu Junhao was relieved to see that the elder and younger were not crying.

Taking advantage of the time when Professor Zhao was helping to take care of it, he quickly put the rice in the rice cooker and steamed it, and waited for Zhang Qian to come back before cooking.

Eating, washing the dishes, coaxing the children...the couple's life is so simple.Lunch was relatively early, and there was still nearly an hour before the afternoon class. Zhang Qian was not in a hurry to go to school, and played games with her mobile phone.

Liu Junhao was busy uploading the photos he took in the morning on the Internet, and at the same time sent a message to Wang Junfeng of the Lingya Cat Lovers Association, telling him about the roe deer in Liujiagou.

Before the photo was finished, Zhang Qian happily held up her mobile phone and said, "Husband, I just received a text message saying that the mobile business hall on the street is holding an event. Recharge the phone bill, give away a mobile phone and an electric car, and it's only for one day today." .You hurry to the town in the afternoon and help me recharge the phone bill."

"Is there such a good thing? An electric car costs 3000 yuan, how much will it cost?" Liu Junhao asked dubiously.

"It only costs 500 yuan for phone calls," Zhang Qian said, handing over the phone.

"It's absolutely fake, liar" Liu Junhao couldn't believe it when he heard about such a small amount of money.How much is a mobile phone, plus an electric car, no matter how you calculate it, it will cost 3000 yuan.Unless the head of the mobile company is kicked by the donkey, how can this kind of loss-making business be possible.

"This number belongs to the mobile company..." After hearing her husband's words, Zhang Qian also became unsure: "I'll call Zhou Yueer and ask her to go and have a look."

When the phone was called, she finished talking about the text message in a few words, but Zhou Yueer laughed out loud.

Half a minute later, Zhou Yue'er's voice rang again on the phone: "You guys also received that text message. Zhao Guangming and I went to the business hall to ask about it just now. It's a mobile phone, but it's a counterfeit phone. product, the signal is very poor, it can still be used in the town, but there is no signal outside the town. That electric car...it is a toy for children!"

"What, give me a toy electric car?" Zhang Qian raised her voice subconsciously, "Isn't this fooling people?"

"I just said that there is no such thing as a pie in the sky. I have seen cheaters, but I have never seen such cheaters." Liu Junhao followed his wife and began to denounce.

Knowing the truth, Zhang Qian gave up the idea of ​​charging phone bills.

Less than 5 minutes after the post was posted, Liu Junhao refreshed it, and there were already several replies.

"Liu Junhao, do you know about rock honey? I just bought a piece two days ago, and when I brought it home, my wife said I was cheated. Please help me to see if it's true..." One of the netizens called Qingmei Danjiu followed post.

Rock honey?Liu Junhao looked a little confused, he had never heard of this kind of honey.However, since the request came to the door, Liu Junhao would not refuse, and directly sent his QQ to the station via text message, asking the other party to join.

The netizen probably waited anxiously, and within 2 minutes, a reminder sounded on QQ.After Liu Junhao added Qingmei Danjiu as a friend, the other party began to send photos.

The photo has very high pixels, and inside it shows a piece of honey in the shape of a stone, dark red in color, with a little moss on top.

"This is the honey you bought, can't it be a stone?" Liu Junhao stared at the photo for a few moments, and began to type in doubt.To be honest, with such a big lump, he doesn't look like honey at all.At least in my own knowledge, I have never seen it.

Green Plum Light Wine quickly replied: "Yes, this is rock honey."

"I... I'm not sure about this. What did the person who sold your honey say?" Liu Junhao was not modest. He looked at several pictures at the moment, but he still couldn't confirm it.Naturally, one cannot draw conclusions at will.Of course, it doesn't mean that this thing must be fake, just like homemade honey.After it was posted on the Internet, many netizens were dubious, and they didn't believe it until they came to Liujiagou to see it.

"The seller said that he is from X state and is working here now. His family found these rock honey in the deep mountains and old forests of X state. It can treat colds, coughs and bronchitis. The remaining honeycomb in the hive can only be formed through natural frost and natural air drying, and the conditions for formation are relatively harsh, so it is quite rare."

"Oh, it's honey crystallization." When the other party said this, Liu Junhao understood.But he looked at the photo twice more, and his suspicion was even greater.The crystallization of honey can't be like this. Judging from the photos alone, its hardness is almost comparable to that of stone.Just like homemade honey, it is crispy and easy to break.

Thinking of this, he asked again: "Have you ever squeezed it with your hands, can it be crushed?"

"You can't use your hands. This kind of rock honey is very hard, and the sellers use hammers to knock it down and sell it. It takes at least a hundred years for this kind of rock honey to form." Qingmei Light Wine replied.

"No way... how much did you pay for it?" Liu Junhao was really surprised this time, and that remark sounded like a big fool, and it was less reliable than the text messages from the mobile company. cultural relics.

"Not expensive, 20 yuan a catty."

Fake... Liu Junhao is now seven or eight points sure.But he didn't see the real thing, and he couldn't draw conclusions at will.

After thinking for a while, I finally typed out a line cautiously: "Let me tell you this, now in Liujiagou, pure wild honey costs 50 yuan a catty. At your price, it is estimated that you can't buy pure wild honey. What's more, according to your By the way, this kind of rock honey is extremely rare, so is the price so cheap?"

"The man said that because it was the last few yuan, he planned to go back to his hometown after selling it, so he sold it at a low price."

Well... Now Liu Junhao didn't know what to ask.But looking at the opened webpage, he slapped his head.I am really confused, forget about Baidu, the big killer, and just look up information about rock honey on the Internet.

Good guy, Liu Junhao was very surprised when he saw the search results.The webpages are full of honey fakes, and among them, Yanmi has already stinked the street, and I am really ignorant.Thinking about Liu Junhao, he feels normal again. He usually surfs the Internet mostly to read news about major national events, and rarely pays attention to other things, and Green Plum Light Wine probably does the same.

Emotional rock honey is made by mixing white sugar and baking soda. As for the moss on it, it was added later.

Seeing this, Liu Junhao dispelled the last few doubts, and directly sent the URL to Qingmei Danjiu.
