The honeycomb that Li Xiaoye encountered was a bit big, as big as a bucket. Even a big bucket might not be able to hold it.
However, due to the lush branches and leaves of this lychee tree, it is difficult to find it unless you go up the tree.
The reason why Li Xiaoye was unlucky was because he didn't see the bee nest before he climbed up the tree.
After discovering the bee nest, Li Bu asked everyone to stop picking lychees for safety reasons, and began to prepare weeds or pile up leaves under the lychee tree, and lit a fire to smoke the bee nest on the tree.
As there were so many people who were no longer needed, Li Bu asked them to stay away, lest they later become the targets of the anxious bees.
After evacuating the crowd, Li Wanfu, Li Bu and Li Xiaomu put on protective clothing specially designed to catch bees.
Then Li Wanfu and Li Xiaomu set fire to smoke the honeycomb on the lychee tree, while Li Bu took a saw and climbed up the lychee tree, then tied himself to the tree, and then started to use the saw.
Saw the tree trunk with the bee nest.
Buzz buzz... buzz buzz... buzz buzz... As Li Bu saw the trunk of the tree shaking and the smoke rising from the bottom of the tree, the inside of the bee nest
The bees immediately became restless.
Some of them rushed towards Li Bu who was sawing the trunk of the tree, wanting to teach this bastard who was destroying his home a lesson. Some of them rushed towards Li Wanfu and Li Xiaomu under the tree, preparing to drive away the two smoke-creators.
asshole.
Unfortunately, Li Bu, Li Wanfu, and Li Xiaomu have all put on protective clothing, so these bees can only buzz around them, but they can never hurt them.
Even Li Bu, Li Wanfu, and Li Xiaomu would slap dozens or twenty of them to death when they annoyed them.
After being unable to attack for a long time, and also hating the smoke, the bee army gave in soon, and began to buzz away from here under the smoke and the constant shaking of the tree trunks, and flew deeper into the mountains.
Bang bang... bang bang... And just when the army of bees was driven away by the smoke, Li Bu finally succeeded in sawing off the tree trunk with the bees on it.
Then the tree trunk with the bee nest, along with a lot of lychees and the huge bee nest, fell from the tree with a loud roar.
After the bee nest fell, Li Wanfu and Li Xiaomu immediately took a mesh bag with ultra-fine holes and went directly to catch all the bees that were still on the bee nest and were reluctant to leave. This thing
It can be soaked in wine or fried directly.
After catching the bees that had not left, Li Wanfu and the others took the basket, then used a wood chopper to remove the bee nests on the trunk, and then put them into the basket one by one.
Don't get me wrong, there is no honey or beeswax in this honeycomb.
Such a bee nest only has bee pupae, which are small bee pupae that have not yet turned into bees and are still like insects.
As for why it doesn't have honey, it probably has something to do with their diet. They eat fruits and bugs, so they don't collect pollen or produce honey.
After finishing the bee nest, Li Wanfu took everyone to pick lychees again, and directly handed the assembled bee nest to the injured person Li Xiaoye and said: "Your head will probably swell later, so you
Just stop basking in the sun here and go back with them to deal with this bee nest..."
"Okay, then I'll go back and deal with the bee pupae first. I'll ask my aunt and them to make bee pupae porridge for us later..." Although medicine and injections have been given, Li Xiaoye is not feeling well at this time.
, so he accepted Li Wanfu's suggestion and went home to rest with the villagers who carried lychees down the mountain.
After Li Xiaoye went back, Li Bu himself started climbing the trees to pick lychees again.
However, because of Li Xiaoye's example, they now check to see if there are bees' nests in the lychee tree they are on before climbing up.
Of course, it is considered good to have one beehive in an orchard, but how could there be a second one?
So this time, Li Bu and the others directly picked all the lychees in Li Aiguo's orchard without encountering a second honeycomb.
There are forty-five lychee trees in Li Ai's orchard. Three of them were not picked at this time. The remaining forty-three lychee trees were picked at nearly 400 kilograms each. One orchard picked this time.
It weighed nearly 17,200 kilograms. If calculated in tons, it is 8.6 tons.
8.6 tons of lychees is really a lot!!
The shady area at the entrance of Lijia Village and the old house of the village committee are now all filled with baskets of carefully selected and tied lychees. At first glance, the red lychees look spectacular.
And when everyone took down the last basket of lychees, picked them, and placed them.
Liu Yan, Lin Xiang and other women from the village came over carrying several baskets of breakfast; "You are all exhausted, come on, the bee porridge is ready for you. The bees are highly nutritious, so everyone can come and eat it.
I will regain the strength to pick lychees, hahaha..."
"Eat, eat, you have to eat this. This is the honeycomb that our little leaf found for us at the risk of becoming a pig's head, hahaha... Come and get some, let's eat." Hearing the words from the women.
After shouting, Li Aiguo and the others immediately laughed and joked to Li Xiaoye, who had turned into a pig head.
Hearing Li Aiguo's joke, Li Xiaoye, who had been hiding in a corner to work, immediately stood up and retorted angrily: "Uncle Aiguo, you still have the nerve to laugh at me, you have such a big one in your own orchard
You don’t even know the honeycomb, how do you manage your orchard?
Let me tell you, it was fortunate that my Uncle Wanfu was quick and Litchi caught me, otherwise I would have to live in your house with you for the rest of my life."
"Ahem...I've been very busy for more than a year. You kid has been watching me in the village all day long and you don't know. You said I haven't even been to the orchard twice this year. How can I
Maybe you know it has a bee nest?
But you have to pay attention to the following orchards. I haven’t been to the orchards very much this year, and Uncle Wanfu, you haven’t been to the orchards very much this year either.
And I have bee nests in the orchard below, so those of you who are higher up are probably more likely to have bee nests.
Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. No matter what we say today, it’s because of your kid that we can eat this delicious bee porridge again.” After replying to Li Xiaoye with a smile, Li Aiguo pulled up his clothes.
Xiu, took the big guys and started to have breakfast with Wan.
Today's breakfast was quite sumptuous. In addition to a large bucket of bee porridge, there was also a basket of pancakes, a basket of steamed buns, and some rice crackers. So as soon as Li Aiguo said hello, everyone started immediately.
Nawan started to eat breakfast while joking.
[Lin Xiang’s pancakes are pretty good. As soon as I ate them, I knew they were made by you. You are the only one in the village who makes the best pancakes. That guy who is patriotic is lucky. Unlike my mother-in-law, the pancakes she makes are as chewy as stone crackers.
Can’t even bite]
[You guessed wrong this time. This pancake was made by Xiaobu’s little wife, Xiaobu’s mother, Mingyun. They are the people who eat pancakes, so how can my cooking skills compare with hers?
So you have to say that guy Xiao Bu is lucky.】
[It is also a matter of the times. If it had been in ancient times, Xiaobu would have been the second general in our village. But Xiaobu is really lucky. He has more than a dozen sons. This is not what anyone would think.
You can be blessed if you want it!!】
[Yes, with three wives and twelve children, these fifteen mouths would make it difficult for a family to live harmoniously. Even eating would probably be a problem. This means that we, Xiaobu, can make money and support each other.
