Chapter 23 Taking Honey
She was used to sleeping on the Simmons bed and had some insomnia at night.
The village is by the side of the mountain, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. At night, the temperature is very low. The thin quilt in the house was covering the body, and it was still very cold.
Zhao Yuner and Doudou slept in their clothes, because Doudou was so cold that her lips were a little purple. Zhao Yuner held Doudou in her arms, letting her feel the warmth of her body. There is also a faint milky fragrance on the little bun, which is very pleasant.
In the middle of the night, Zhao Yuner was so sleepy that she fell asleep in the middle of nowhere.
The next morning, Zhao Yuner woke up. I'm going up the mountain today and I'm rushing back for lunch, so I have to go early.
Doudou was still sleeping soundly, Zhao Yuner patted Doudou's little face, and called out to Doudou softly, "Doudou, mother is going to the mountain, get up."
Doudou rubbed his sullen eyes, but climbed up numbly.
Zhao Yuner put the things in the back basket and prepared them, then took Doudou's little hand and walked towards the mountain.
On the mountain in the early morning, there was still a thin mist and a hint of coolness. Zhao Yuner walked directly towards the honeycomb she remembered last time.
This time, the purpose of going up the mountain is to get this honey. Although there is not much honey in a honeycomb, there are many honeycombs on the mountain. Even if you get a few honeycombs, you can get a lot of honey.
Zhao Yuner took Doudou to a beehive, and first let Doudou hide a little distance away, so as not to be fly over by bees and sting Doudou.
"Doudou, don't move here, my mother is going to climb the tree." Zhao Yuner warned.
"Well, I know my mother." Doudou nodded sensible.
Zhao Yuner kissed Doudou's little face with a "haha~", "Doudou is really good."
Saying that, he turned to the tree.
Zhao Yuner's movements were as light as possible, so as not to disturb the bees on the tree. Then take out the tools you have prepared.
A lump of grass mixed with soil was lit so that the grass would not burn, but thick smoke came out.
After Zhao Yuner did everything, she hurriedly climbed down from the tree and retreated to Doudou's position.
After a while, the smoke was getting bigger and bigger, and some of the bees that had been staying in the honeycomb seemed to be unbearable, and slowly began to fly out of the honeycomb.
When the bees all flew out of the honeycomb and flew far away, Zhao Yuner climbed up the tree again.
Then he took out a small knife, cut a small opening on the honeycomb, and then took out all the honey in the honeycomb.
Zhao Yuner didn't completely destroy the honeycomb. This honeycomb is where the bees live. She didn't want to destroy the honeycomb just to get a little honey, and there was no need for it. In addition, keep the honeycomb, and the bee will come back when she comes back. After a while, she can continue to take it again.
Not much honey was taken from a honeycomb. Fortunately, there were many honeycombs on the mountain. Zhao Yuner took the same method, but took two large jars of honey.
In ancient times, honey was also a good thing, and generally only large families could afford it. Two jars of honey should be worth a lot of money, and before I knew it, the whole morning was used up.
Zhao Yuner has a full harvest and is ready to go down the mountain with Doudou.
Seeing the faint scent of honey, Doudou asked curiously, "Mother, what is this?"
