Chapter 956

The tree bark bag Wang An made was used to hold honey.

Because this kind of pure wild honey is not liquid, but stored in the honeycomb, it is a semi-liquid thing; of course, there are very few that will be solid honey.

The reason for saying there are very few solid honey is that solid honey is nothing more than liquid honey that has been naturally air-dried for a long time; simply put, it is honey with a relatively long age.

And for such solid honey to be preserved and still not deteriorate, that is a very difficult thing.

So collecting wild honey is actually just scooping out the honeycomb in the tree hole as a whole.

And after wild honey is collected, unless it is eaten together with the honeycomb, otherwise, this thing cannot be eaten.

So, the common liquid honey is processed before it becomes like that.

Of course, processing wild honey is also very simple, which is the "barbaric squeezing method."

Simply put, it is squeezing the honeycomb for all it's worth; any squeezing method is fine, as long as the honey can be squeezed out.

If your hand strength is big enough, it's fine to squeeze it out directly with your hands.

And the commonly used local method is to put the honeycomb on a wooden board with holes, then put a wooden board on the honeycomb, and finally put a big stone on the wooden board.

Basically, it is pressed for a night, and the honey in the honeycomb will be squeezed clean.

Finally, filter this honey, which contains many honeycomb fragments or other impurities, with cloth or gauze, and that's it.

Such honey is quite delicious, damn delicious.

After Seeing Mu Xueli climbed the tree, he quickly discovered the small tree hole where the bees were. After careful observation, Seeing Mu Xueli stood on a big tree branch and took out the piece of mugwort rope.

After cutting a piece of mugwort rope and lighting it and throwing it into the tree hole, in the gap of waiting for the smoke to smoke the bees away, Seeing Mu Xueli shouted to the tree:

"Brother-in-law, I found the beehive, and this beehive is quite big."

Wang An heard this, raised his head and shouted:

"Can you handle it yourself? Do you need me to go up and handle it with you?"

Only heard Seeing Mu Xueli shout from above:

"You don't need to come up, I can do it myself, it's just that I feel this tree bark bag definitely can't hold it, you guys prepare two more bags, eight to ten it will be about enough."

Without Wang An greeting, Wang Li took out his invasion knife and walked toward a linden tree.

Linden bark is known as thousand-layer bark, which is both soft and flexible, just like thick leather.

The main thing is that peeling this thing is also very simple, and linden trees have a characteristic, which is that after peeling a piece of bark, you don't have to worry about the tree dying.

After another few minutes, Seeing Mu Xueli discovered that there were no more bees flying out of the tree hole, but the bees around the tree hole were unwilling to leave and kept hovering around the tree hole.

Consequently, Seeing Mu Xueli lit the remaining piece of mugwort rope.

Holding the smoking mugwort rope and gesturing for a long time, the bees that had been hovering at the tree hole entrance were finally smoked away.

Until this time, Seeing Mu Xueli clamped the mugwort rope in his hand onto a small "Y" shaped tree branch, letting it burn and smoke by itself.

Holding the invasion knife and reaching into the tree hole that was smoking, Seeing Mu Xueli very quickly scooped a piece of sticky honeycomb from the tree hole wall.

Looking at the golden honeycomb in his hand, Seeing Mu Xueli grinned and put it into the tree bark bag hanging on his lower back.

When he retracted his hand, feeling the sticky honey on his hand, Seeing Mu Xueli subconsciously put his finger into his mouth.

Smacking his lips a few times, Seeing Mu Xueli couldn't help but sigh softly:

"Oh my god, this honey is damn sweet!"

One has to admit, linden honey in this season is definitely the freshest, most mellow, and best-tasting time of the year.

Because every July is when linden trees bloom, and after honey is spat out from the bee's mouth, it only becomes relatively viscous after a period of natural fermentation and air-drying, and of course, it is the most delicious time.

Honey sold in the market is actually the same; you will find that some honey sold in shops is relatively viscous.

But some honey sold in shops is like rice soup; it's a bit viscous, but it definitely can't be counted as thick.

This is the difference between honey stored in the beehive for a long time and honey just spat out by bees.

The price of the former must be expensive, and the latter must be relatively cheaper.

Once again licking his hand, Seeing Mu Xueli reached his hand into the tree hole again.

Soon, the tree bark bag on Seeing Mu Xueli's lower back was full. Seeing Mu Xueli looked at the crisscrossing tree branches below and gave up the plan of putting the tree bark bag down with a rope, but chose to go down from the tree.

As soon as Seeing Mu Xueli landed, Wang An and Wang Li came up.

Looking at the full tree bark bag of honeycomb, Wang An said with a smile:

"Oh my god, this is quite a lot, squeezing it all out must be three or four jin of honey, right? Is there any inside?"

Seeing Mu Xueli heard this and said happily:

"Yes, there is still quite a lot, I just feel I only scooped a small piece."

Wang An heard this and said without hesitation:

"Alright, you two stay down there, I'll go up and scoop it all out."

As he spoke, Wang An climbed this big tree with a speed even faster than Seeing Mu Xueli.

Watching Wang An, who quickly climbed to the dense part of the tree branches, Seeing Mu Xueli couldn't help but sigh to Wang Li:

"Is brother-in-law a monkey? Why is he faster at climbing trees than me?"

Wang Li heard this and said with a bad smile:

"Did you see that big tree in my Fourth Brother's old courtyard? The tallest one."

Seeing Mu Xueli nodded blankly:

"I'm not blind, I've seen it so many times, what's wrong?"

Wang Li gestured with his hand, pinched his index finger with his right thumb, made a "3" gesture, and said pretentiously:

"3 seconds, my Fourth Brother only needs three seconds to climb that tree."

Seeing Mu Xueli said very surprised:

"That tree bark is smooth, it's really not easy to climb."

Only to see Wang Li say calmly:

"Really, that time my uncle wanted to beat my Fourth Brother, I saw with my own eyes my Fourth Brother rush up the tree as soon as he came out of the house."

Pausing, Wang Li shook his head again:

"Probably not even 3 seconds, anyway my uncle chased out from the house closely, but just couldn't hit him."

Seeing Mu Xueli blinked his eyes very quickly and was completely stunned.

Wang An, who had started scooping honeycomb from the tree hole, vaguely heard the conversation below, but couldn't hear it clearly.

If Wang An knew that Wang Li had said such a shameful thing, Wang An would definitely have to come down and beat him up.
