Apart from honeycomb, Qiao Xuan also harvested some wild honey as well as beeswax. She had a large woven twine bag with a custom-made flat and light wooden barrel that was just right for honey.
Honey tasted sweet and smelled good. It was a precious delicacy for farmers.
Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao were very happy. They already had a deep fondness for the sweetness. But Qiao Xuan did not allow them to eat too much, because that would ruin their appetite and they would get tired of it easily. She was going to take the honey back, then extract the essences, and store it in a jar for a long-time. It would not go bad in this manner and they could eat it for a very long time.
Honey was a great thing. If it could be put on the meat while grilling and deep-frying, the taste would be excellent in dishes like sweet and sour rib bones.
The idea had a lot of appeal to Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao, who were drooling constantly.
Shao Xiaoqi had been to the mountains frequently, but he never dared to touch the honeycomb, nor had he ever gotten any honey.
Qiao Xuan was asked to teach him how to extract honey.
Shao Taotao was a bit worried about bees, but she was out there to give it a try.
Qiao Xuan taught them the tricks. She needed someone to look after her bee box, and they could be in charge of this task in the future, if they knew what to do.
Anyways, she was going to pay them for it.
Apart from seeking honeycombs and getting bees and honey, they spotted a few trees like wild-growing ordinary roses, gardenia, osmanthus, which they brought home on the way.
It was never easy to fill up the 60-mu flower land, especially with ordinary roses and pomegranates which were the original ingredients for lipstick making.
Whenever they found the ordinary roses, Qiao Xuan would drive away Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao first, and use her superpower to make them grow first.
After the whole day in the mountains, the three of them brought home five honeycombs, and got two barrels of honey as well as two bunches of ordinary roses along with some delicious mushrooms and two wild roosters which Shao Xiaoqi managed to capture. They were carrying them with shoulder poles.
They ran back and forth three times and eventually got all their harvest home.
When they finally entered, Qiao Xuan came to Shao Yunduan and smiled. “I am back!”
These words suddenly made Shao Yunduan feel assured. He almost felt a bit happy.
He could not help but show a look of gentleness and said quietly, “Good that you are back. Did you run into any trouble?”
“Of course not, all went well. We were really cautious!”
Qiao Xuan exchanged a few words with him and went to sort out her harvest.
Shao Yunduan smiled, seeing her retreating figure. Then he went back to his studies.
The moment they went home, they hid the honey in Shao Taotao’s room.
They were never going to let the second and the third sections of the family know about the honey.
They were so shameless!.
Second Uncle and Third Uncle, who failed to take advantage of money from her as wages, asked Shao Meiling and Shao Xiaozhi to visit the first section every day during the lunch time, because they knew that Shao Dali was fed there.
They were two young girls, and it was quite normal that they ate lunch at their uncle’s home. So, they were not driven away. Also, Eldest Uncle got happy when they kept calling him Uncle cutely.
Ms. Fang rolled her eyes. The two girls had been taught in the wrong way! They were asked to take advantage of people and were going to ruin themselves one day.
They were going to suffer a lot in the future.
