After returning home, the two simply washed their faces, hands and feet and took care of the rest.
Most of the mine bees in the three cans that had not been soaked by the wine were still alive, crawling around inside the bottles, making the walls of the bottles rattle.
However, none of them can jump around for much longer and will not survive tonight.
They don't need to be processed for the time being.
Lu Lu was going to get another swarm of mine bees and soak them together in a jar.
The most important thing is that these bee pupae must be picked out and fried one by one as soon as possible, otherwise if left overnight, you will see more parasitic white insects and the like on the hive.
Chen Xiuyu followed Lu Lu's request and found two large sea bowls and large needles for quilting, and put them under the kerosene lamp. The two of them worked together to open the cover of the bee pupae and remove the squirming insects inside the nest eyes.
The plump bee pupa is picked out.
Most of the bee pupae have not yet formed, and they look like huge white insects. Some of them already have the rudimentary form of mine bees, which are white and tender. Some of them have already formed, and their body color has become mild.
Almost like an adult bee.
There were also some covers that had been bitten open. As soon as they opened the covers, they crawled out. This thing was still dormant and quite restless in the bowl. I had to give it a patch and poke it.
die.
Bee pupae are delicious, but picking them out is definitely a test of patience, even if they are quite big.
Not all bee pupae are wanted, but the kind that are full of black belly, full and full of impurities are not allowed.
Even though this is a very powerful mine wasp and is the top existence in the insect world, there are still other bugs mixed in the hive that are fed by the mine bees. These things are inedible, and some are even poisonous, so you have to distinguish them carefully.
Lu Lu had come into contact with many beekeepers before, and naturally he also knew some beekeepers who could not bear the infringement of poisonous bees in their apiaries and specially hired bee hunters to exterminate these poisonous bees. From them, he also knew some information about how to find and exterminate poisonous bees.
method.
Even eating bee pupae, which many people think is "disgusting", was learned from them.
Nowadays, even low-quality bee-proof clothing cannot withstand such large-bodied mine bees, and there are still cases of being stung.
Lu Lu just never really killed the mine bees.
In Zhangguangcailing, Liang Kangbo took the initiative to ask for help, so Lu Lu didn't have to do it himself.
Since his own apiary was infested by mine bees, Lu Lu could only muster up the courage to do it himself.
You can't always invite people.
Fortunately, although it was the first operation, the method of using the fuse to stun was very good, everything went smoothly, and there were no accidents.
In this swarm of mine bees, even the queen bee is already soaking in the can.
As for the next year's queen bees on the honeycomb at the bottom of the hive, they will also become delicacies on the plate tonight.
This swarm of mine bees will be wiped out!
Otherwise, with the strength of this swarm of Mine Bees, I don’t know how many more groups of Mine Bees will be born next year.
It took the two of them more than an hour to finally pick out the usable bee pupae. There were more than expected, and they filled three large bowls.
Chen Xiuyu hurriedly went to the kitchen to light up the stove. After cleaning the large iron pot and heating it, Lu Lu poured a lot of soybean oil into it.
After the soybean oil was cooked and the foam had subsided, Lu Lu poured half a bowl of bee pupae into it.
The bee pupa tumbled with the beating soybean oil, gradually becoming fluffy and crispy, and a scent spread, and Chen Xiuyu couldn't help but stretch her nose to smell it.
Soon, the fried bee pupae in the pot were taken out of the oil and put in a bowl. Lu Lu put half a bowl of bee pupae in the pot and fried them. After stirring them slightly to disperse, he took salt and sprinkled it on the fried bee pupae.
After a few bumps in the pupa, he handed the chopsticks to Chen Xiuyu: "Daughter-in-law, have a taste!"
Chen Xiuyu swallowed her saliva, looked at the big white worms in the bowl, and hesitated to take off her chopsticks immediately.
She didn't dare to eat it after Lu Lu, so she took one with her hand and put it in her mouth to eat: "You don't believe me, it's really good."
Seeing Lu Lu eating comfortably, Chen Xiuyu also picked one and put it in her mouth to chew. Her expression became pleasantly surprised: "This tastes better than Yang La Can."
As soon as he heard this name, Lu Lu's mouth twitched.
He suddenly felt that his worries about Chen Xiuyu's inability to eat bee pupae were unnecessary.
Many people who often go to the mountains know that the larvae of the Yang La Can are insects that lie on the leaves and immediately cause unbearable itching when someone touches them (Yang La Can, Yang La Can), waiting for it to pupate
When they are young, they will make an oval-shaped pine nut-like hard shell on the trunk and branches to wrap themselves inside, which is called Yang La Can.
Pick the pupae with their shells back, rinse them in water and fry them in a pan.
When eating, peel off the hard shell and eat the pupa inside.
This thing, when you take a sip, will emit "oil", so it is also called an oil can. In Lu Lu's opinion, it is more terrifying and violent than bee pupae.
I can accept these things, but bee pupae are nothing.
Seeing Chen Xiuyu eating more than ten pieces in succession, Lu Lu kindly reminded: "You'd better try to eat it, otherwise, it will be uncomfortable when your body is itchy and hot!"
Eating too much high-protein food will never be a good experience if you have a wrong constitution or are allergic to protein.
When Chen Xiuyu heard what Lu Lu said, even though the bee pupae were delicious, she was obedient and just tasted them.
She stoked the fire in front of the stove until Lu Lu fried all the bee pupae and sprinkled them with salt. After more than half an hour passed, she felt nothing unusual, so she ate some more.
Lu Lu also ate some of the fried bee pupae, and he packed the rest in cans and bottles.
This is a delicacy that goes well with wine. Now fry it and leave it there. When you want to eat it, you can take it at any time.
The work is finally done and I can finally lie down and rest.
The two of them went back to the bedroom, intending to go to bed early. Lu Lu would get up tomorrow morning and continue looking for the two swarms of bees. Lu Lu closed his eyes and lay quietly.
Next to her, Chen Xiuyu tossed and turned for a long time, and finally turned over to face Lu Lu.
"What's wrong? Did you feel sick after eating bee pupae?" Lu Lu had to open his eyes and asked in a low voice.
"Aunt Duan told me that it is easiest to have a baby about ten days before menstruation... It is now, otherwise..."
Considering that Lu Lu had an injury on his leg, she said in a consultative tone.
It turns out that I have something on my mind!
"bring it on!"
Knowing that she is eager, he cannot be timid at this time. It is rare for Chen Xiuyu to be so proactive, not to mention that he also wants to have a child soon.
But the next morning, Lu Lu, who had been cupped twice, found that he had another sore spot.
When he woke up at dawn, he opened the window and saw that it was gloomy outside, as if it was about to rain.
But when the weather is bad, the MineBee will not be idle.
Chen Xiuyu had already gotten up, and the smell of burning sticks wafted from the kitchen.
Lu Lu didn't dare to delay, so he got up early, washed his face and brushed his teeth, took two fires and ate while walking to the bee farm.
The mine bees arrived very early. When he arrived at the bee farm, he had already heard the buzzing sound of the mine bees flying, and Xiaomi also started to take strict precautions for the day.
The weather was gloomy, but the softer light allowed Lu Lu's eyes to follow the returning Mine Bee further.
After confirming the direction again, the position was in the direction of Zhao Tuanqing's meadow, and after finding the target, Lu Lu took the semi-automatic and led the six dogs towards the direction of Zhao Tuanqing's meadow.
Chen Xiuyu also put the prepared cans and bottles in her hunting bag and followed Lu Lu's footsteps.
Lu Lu's legs and feet were not convenient for climbing up trees. He did not let Chen Xiuyu carry the basket today, and planned to ask her to help when necessary, such as climbing up the tree to help see the direction of the mine bees.
Even though she was a woman, even Lu Lu admired Chen Xiuyu's ability to climb trees.
She often goes up the mountain to collect pecans, Hericium mushrooms, pine cones, etc. She has already developed very good tree climbing skills. Lu Lu has seen it before. It is no exaggeration to say that she is not weaker than Lu Lu at all. The key is dexterity.
.
All the way to Zhao Tuanqing's Caodianzi, Wang Dalong and others came to work.
With all the wood available and more manpower, Zhao Yongke's woodcuts were built very quickly.
However, Lu Lu looked on and felt a little strange.
Didn't we agree that it should be built the same as Lu Lu's woodcarvings? Why does it feel a lot smaller, and the rooms seem to be a little smaller.
"Brother Wang, why is this house built like this? Isn't it the same as mine? It's much smaller!"
Lu Lu asked when Wang Dalong entered Caodianzi.
"Brother Zhao thought about it on the day the construction started. He felt that the bathroom you mentioned before was not necessary, and there were too many guest rooms. The big Kang room was too big and difficult to keep warm... so he made temporary changes.
, he is the master, we can only do what the master says!"
Wang Dalong explained with a smile: "This way the construction schedule can be advanced a lot!"
After Lu Lu listened, he suddenly didn't know what to say.
Now that the house has been built like this, there is no way to tear it down and start over.
Lu Lu just felt that it would be a waste not to take advantage of this good opportunity to build a large enough woodcut room that would not be outdated for decades.
If this is left until later, it can be said that a lot of things will be lost invisibly.
But then again, Zhao Yongke has Zhao Yongke’s thoughts on this matter, so he can’t let others think exactly the same as his own.
What if one day people get tired of life in the mountains and want to move to the city?
The world is ever-changing, and in later generations, it is true that not many people are willing to find their roots in the mountains, especially young people.
Lu Lu did not intend to interfere in this matter.
Wu Nakan is very diligent. In the past two days, Zhao Yongke and Zhao Tuanqing have helped protect Qiu and brought back prey every day. She has been making bacon early. Taking advantage of her free time, even if she is not using horses to plow the land, she still takes the time to clear up wasteland.
I turned over the soil with a hoe and shook off the grass roots. Over the past few days, it seemed that a large piece of wasteland had been opened up.
Seeing Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu coming together, Unakan ran over from the bacon rack in the distance: "They are still on the mountain and have not come back."
She thought that Lu Lu was here to see Mr. Zhao Tuanqing and Mr. Zhao. This woman who was not good at words was somewhat at a loss in front of Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu. She did not have so many polite words. After saying something, she saluted solemnly towards the two of them.
Invite them to come in and sit down.
At this moment, two little guys, Zhao Yi and Zhao Ru, got out of the clothes. They both put on beautiful clothes. They were no longer the Su En they were wearing before. They were carrying small schoolbags. They were getting ready.
Go to school.
Seeing Wu Nakan looking at him apologetically, Lu Lu said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry about us. We are just passing by here and stopping by to take a look. It is important for the children to study. It is important to send them to study as soon as possible."
Wu Nakan smiled at the two of them, led the horse and tied the saddle. She quickly climbed onto the horse, then pulled Zhao Yi to sit behind her, and then lifted the younger Zhao Ru up to sit in front of her.
After hugging each other and giving a slight signal to the two of them, he flicked the reins and rode the horse towards the road next to it.
Seeing Wu Nakan's skillful control of the horse, Chen Xiuyu suddenly felt envious again: "It would be great if I could also ride a horse!"
"This isn't easy. Don't we have Chai Feng? I'll teach you when you have time!" Lu Lu said with a smile.
Since Zhuifeng also recognizes Chen Xiuyu and won't kick or bite her, it shouldn't be a big problem if he can control her.
Learning to ride a horse will be more convenient when necessary.
It will take several years before you can own a private car. For a period of time, horses will still be a good means of transportation.
Chen Xiuyu suddenly became excited when she heard that Lu Lu wanted to teach her how to ride a horse.
"Brother Lu, are you coming here so early, bringing guns and ingots with you, to go hunting in the mountains?" Bai Gou Sheng came out of the hut from the forest and asked casually as he passed by the two of them.
"Just walking around, my bee farm was attacked by Thunder Bees and Mine Bees. It looks like they are coming from this way. Come over and see if they are here, and prepare to wipe them out."
Lu Lu thought that Bai Goucheng and others had been active here these days, so he casually asked: "Brother Bai, have you seen mine bees, sky thunder bees, etc. around here?"
"I didn't see the Mine Bees, but I did see two nests from Tian Lei Feng!"
Lu Lu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that his casual question would actually lead to results. Moreover, Lei Feng had not one litter that day, but two litters...
"Where is it? Point it to me quickly!" Lu Lu asked quickly.
