However, the earth beehives in the mountains are not easy to find. If they were really that easy, they would have been caught by the hunters in the village long ago.

It took the group three days to find a honeycomb in a cave. It was probably because no one had discovered it before, so it was full of honey.

Although the group had made sufficient preparations, almost everyone was stung by the wild bees at least four or five times. Moreover, the size of the hive was much larger than expected, so the return journey was a bit difficult.

But it is worth it to get the honey, and it also contains extremely precious wild royal jelly.

It was already mid-afternoon when Fang Cuihua and her group arrived home. The village was quiet. Many people saw the Lin family returning from the mountains with large baskets on their backs, and they couldn't help but come over out of curiosity to join in the fun.

But they were all ridiculed and left by Fang Cuihua in a few words. Seeing that the onlookers had left, Fang Cuihua still felt a little dissatisfied.

She glanced at her mother-in-law and sister-in-law in the yard, curled her lips and said, "In our family, I am the only one who has done all the evil."

When Guangdan heard this, he nodded in agreement. Indeed, if we talk about the reputation of the Lin family in the village, it is that of a family of good people and a fierce, strong and unreasonable daughter-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, I, I will scold you too next time." After hearing the implicit meaning of sister-in-law's words, Cao Lian quickly began to correct her attitude.

But this little emotion could not affect the Lin family's mood at the moment. After all, the honey they brought back had to be cleaned up.

"Second aunt, I'll go boil a pot of hot water. Please wash a few more empty jars and boil them in water later to fill with honey!" Guangdan said as he got up and went to the kitchen.

"Oh, what can you do? Let me do it!" When the old lady saw her grandson going to boil water, she hurriedly followed him in, and the old and the young started to get busy in the kitchen.

Cao Lian and her sister-in-law Taohua used a large basket to find all the empty small jars in the house and took them to the river to wash them.

The rest of the people washed the basins and prepared fine cloth to filter the honey. The yard was a mess. The trio who were originally reading no longer had the energy to do anything. They poked a little honey on the edge with their fingers to sweeten their mouths.

"This is a lot! These are collected by the medicine shops in Fengla Town--" Before Grandpa Lin could finish his words, Guangdan rushed out from the kitchen.

"I want the beeswax!!! You are not allowed to sell the royal jelly either!" After saying this, he looked at his grandfather very firmly.

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to sell it, what do you want the beeswax for?" Grandpa Lin asked curiously.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but it will definitely be useful!" Guangdan said this, but he was thinking in his heart, can't beeswax be used to make candles?

Think about it further, make scented candles? Then sell them in academies. Isn't this a classy way to make money?

When I think about this, I can't help but feel that I might have some talent for making money.

Seeing that his elder brother and younger uncle had already started to filter the honey with fine cloth, Guangdan came up to his grandfather and started muttering about royal jelly.

"Grandpa, our family is no longer in a situation where we are short of money. Royal jelly is a good thing. You may not be able to buy it in the pharmacy in this town. Health is our capital. Now that it is not the busy farming season, let's give it to everyone to nourish them!" Guangdan clenched his little fists, determined to put all the royal jelly into the stomachs of his family!

"I got it. I won't sell it." Grandpa's evasive response made Guangdan feel uneasy.

"Master, what? Do you want to give it away?" Guangdan asked with a frown.

"Our village chief has a cousin from your aunt's family, whom you have to call grandpa. He opened a grocery store in the provincial capital. Let's divide the royal jelly and send some to the village chief and that cousin so that you will have someone to take care of you when you go to the provincial capital." Grandpa Lin explained in a low voice.

Guangdan then nodded in understanding, feeling a little reluctant. But then he thought that his family didn't have anything worthy enough to give as a gift, and he felt sad again.

While the grandfather and grandson were still whispering, half a basin of honey had been filtered out. Looking at the tempting amber honey from afar, the grandfather and grandson quickly ended the topic and moved over.

"Is it sweet?" Guangdan asked as he looked at Goumao's mouth with honey at the corners. He also reached out, wiped the honey on the edge of the wooden basin with his fingers and put it into his mouth.

"It's so sweet! I've made up my mind that when I grow up I'm going to raise bees! That way I can eat sweet honey every day!" After saying that, the little guy sipped his saliva.

"Hahaha!" The childish words made the adults in the yard laugh.

At this time, Second Aunt had returned from the river after washing the jars. Guangdan hurriedly took people and the jars to the kitchen.

Scoop out half of the boiling water in the pot and put it in a clean wooden barrel next to it to cool, then carefully place the jars of various sizes in the pot and boil them with boiling water.

"Guangdan, what are you doing?" Taohua asked curiously, stretching her neck.

"Boil the jar in boiling water to make it cleaner. Boil it for a quarter of an hour, then take it out to dry, and then store the honey. The honey can be kept longer." Guangdan was unable to explain the concept of disinfection, so he started talking nonsense.

"Oh, Guangdan, how come you know so much?" Taohua said, looking at her nephew with some envy.

"The brains of our family all belong to Guangdan and Goudan." Second Aunt Cao Lian said with a smile.

But Guangdan felt that he could smell something sour in it.

"Second Aunt, our Goumao is still young. When I was as old as Goumao, I was beaten every day!" After saying that, he thought of the days when the original owner was beaten by Fang Cuihua every day, and he laughed happily.

"That's right, all my grandsons are good." Grandma Lin nodded her head in agreement. It was unacceptable for anyone to say that her son or grandson was not good! Even she herself could not do that!

Seeing Taohua at home, Guangdan stretched his neck to look around and asked, "Where is my second sister?"

"I went to Sister Xia'er's house to draw patterns." Taohua said a little guiltily.

Guangdan raised his eyebrows. It would be better to say that Erya had sneaked out to play. After all, his second sister's needlework, well, it's better not to talk about it.

Erya would rather chop grass for pigs than do needlework. Thinking of Guangdan, she grinned.

"Aunt, just take it out and dry it later. I guess we'll fill it with honey in the evening!" After saying that, he turned around and carried a bucket of steaming water to the eaves.

"What is this boiled water?" Fang Cuihua asked curiously after taking a look at the wooden barrel.

"Wait until it cools down, then add honey to drink." Guangdan said shamelessly.

"Well, use this water to wash the fine cloth and the wooden basin later, and you can drink it after you're done." Fang Cuihua said, thinking that her son was quite good at living.

"No! The wooden basin is fine, but the fine cloth must be kept separately!!!" Guangdan still felt a little reluctant about drinking the water used to wash the cloth.

"Tsk, stop being so picky. You even forgot how to poop and put it in your mouth when you were a kid." Fang Cuihua looked as pale as an egg, leaving her son disheveled and unable to extricate himself in the wind.

Guangdan: What did you just say? What did I hear? Me? ? ? Ah! ! ! ! I can’t live anymore! ! ! ! !
