Chapter 222 Drip Honey
"Yes." Liu Qingshan nodded solemnly and looked at his mother and said, "Mom, we have to take a bowl of water to the right. We can't just give it to my uncle. If we want to give it to my uncle, then the others will definitely give it to me. If one person has two pounds, according to the head just calculated, we will indeed give it ten pounds of honey for nothing."
Liu Yuanhe was so happy that he listened on the side that he quickly interrupted and asked: "Qingshan, if you sell these ten kilograms of honey, how much can it cost?"
"Yes." Liu Qingshan thought for a while, "Ordinary local honey costs about 200 yuan per pound. Such pure deep mountains and wild honey can cost 300 yuan per pound. If it is ten pounds, it will cost 300 yuan."
Three thousand dollars? Wu Cuimei's eyes widened. Be good, this gift, will you give out three thousand dollars?
She felt distressed: "Oh, this is too much money, three thousand yuan. Your father may not be able to save 3 thousand yuan for a whole year after working hard in the village. Oh, forget it, don't give it to anyone."
"Mom, it's okay." Liu Qingshan comforted, "As long as you are happy, let alone giving ten kilograms of honey, it doesn't matter if you give all this honey for nothing. At worst, I won't save money and don't get married. Anyway, it's good to be a bachelor. If you don't have a wife, you don't have to raise children. How free I'm so free."
"What are you saying?" Wu Cuimei shook her son's hand away, "Who said she wanted to give it? No one or two of these honeys are allowed to be given for free, they must be kept for sale."
Seeing that my mother was so different from each other, Liu Qingshan couldn't laugh and cry, and reluctantly said, "Oh, since that's the case, then I'll listen to you. No matter what you say, I'll listen to you."
Although after being bullied by bees, there were many pains and swelling on their bodies, after teasing my mother, I immediately felt relieved physically and mentally.
Wu Cuimei went to work on housework, while Liu Yuanhe followed her son to squeeze out the honey.
The adoption of wild honey is different from that of artificial honey.
Most artificially cultivated honey uses the method of "knocking" to obtain honey. These people who raise bees are called beekeepers. Beekeepers raise honey, which is different from mountain farmers who work part-time honey collecting. The main income of beekeepers comes from honey, so they must use high technology to obtain the most honey to ensure their income.
Therefore, the "honey shaker" came into being.
A honey shaker is a hand-cranked machine that is very simple to operate. It is to take out two equally square honey nests from a square beehive, then put them in the honey shaker, shake a few times, and the honey leaves the honey nest.
This method can be used to take honey without destroying the honey nest. Therefore, after shaking the honey, the honey nest must be put back into the beehive for the bees to continue collecting honey and stock up on honey.
This kind of honey can be collected multiple times a year. Although the yield is very high, its effect is much lower than that of local honey and wild honey. However, it is understandable that people sell it at a price, only a few dozen yuan per pound.
You can’t buy a pound of honey for dozens of dollars, but you want to get the nutrition and efficacy of wild honey worth hundreds of dollars per pound.
Artificial honey is simple to adopt, but it is relatively difficult to adopt local honey and wild honey.
The difference between earth honey and artificial honey is that the bees of earth honey are wild and are not artificially fed. Most of the sealing of earth honey is made by wood digging the heart.
After finding the big wood, digging the tree center, it will form a beehive. Then apply the beehive with beeswax from previous years and place it in the wild, and then wild bees will come to settle down.
Bees settle down or not, and the mountain people don’t care about it. Anyway, the beehive is released. Sometimes they have time to take a look. They will never participate in the bees’ honey collection, nor will they feed them sugar or other things. Therefore, the yield of local honey is very low, and can only be taken once a year, and most of them are taken around the winter solstice.
The main method of taking local honey is to cut it.
After cutting the honey, take it home and often get the honey in a "drip" way.
That is, put the honey cubes on the bamboo sieve, put them in a container, and drip them as they are.
The nutritional value and taste of local honey are much higher than that of artificial honey, and the yield is low, so the price is much higher.
The price of pure wild honey from the deep mountains is even higher.
This is also why Liu Qingshan can confidently believe that his honey can be sold for 300 yuan per pound.
The way wild honey is adopted is the same as that of earth honey, and it is mainly drip.
However, sometimes, in order to speed up the dripping of honey, chopsticks are used to destroy the honey nest, so that the honey that originally attached to it can flow out quickly and drip into the container.
As the saying goes, father and son are united, and their strength is to cut off gold.
Although Liu Yuanhe was an unreliable person, with him helping him, Liu Qingshan quickly found the tool and put all the honey pieces on the bamboo sieve.
During the meal, Liu Yuanhe asked, "Qingshan, I saw you say in the group, let everyone drink honey water."
"Yes." Liu Qingshan nodded, "Don't worry, I said that I can only drink honey water, and honey is absolutely not given."
"Are they really coming?" Wu Cuimei was inexplicably expecting. She didn't know what the villagers would look like when they saw her son get so much honey all at once.
Haha, when she thought of some women who used to say bad things about her son, saying that her son was stupid, saying that her son was stupid, saying that her son was not doing serious things, she couldn't help but snorted in her heart: Look, my son is much better than the sons of some people.
However, she was also a little worried: "Qingshan, why are you so stupid? Why do you tell the villagers that you have found wild honey? In this way, many people will probably go into the mountains to find honey tomorrow."
"Haha, Mom, you're thinking too much." Liu Qingshan said, "This is not yam or bamboo shoots, you can't find it just by looking for it, and..."
Moreover, there is basically no wild honey around the village. If you want to find wild honey, you must get the deep mountains.
It is impossible to find wild honey and to travel back and forth in the mountains within one day.
Unless you spend the night in the mountains.
However, so far, no one in the village dares to spend the night in the mountains.
Liu Qingshan smiled and said, "And, this honey is not something you can find just by looking for. If someone really has such good luck, it only means that it is the destined thing for them. Even if I don't say it, they will encounter it sooner or later."
When Wu Cuimei heard her son say so relievedly, she had nothing to worry about.
Since it is something destined, no one can control it.
