Returning to my hometown to inherit three mountains: Don't stop me from raising pigs

Chapter 554 Trying to Collect Honey

The three of them approached the edge of the cliff cautiously and began to put on protective gear.

Gu Xile took out some special tools from his backpack and distributed them to Gu Chang and his grandfather.

Because there were many wooden barrels this time, Gu Xile and Gu Changlin had to do it themselves. Gu Chang also picked up a sharp knife and an iron basin, ready to try the process of collecting honey.

Gu Xile and his grandfather decided to split up and began to harvest wild honey from the barrels. They were skilled and careful, trying not to disturb the bees.

At the same time, Gu Chang followed Gu Changlin closely, carefully observing and learning how to take out the honey from the wooden barrel.

First, Gu Changlin lit a large amount of cow dung incense and placed them in front of the wooden barrels in order. These incense will produce thick smoke to disperse the bee swarms and ensure a safe working environment.

When the smoke filled the air, the bees left the barrel one after another, creating a relatively safe working space for Gu Xile and others.

After waiting for a few minutes, Gu Changlin moved forward steadily and carried the beehive barrel that had been separated from the bees to a clean rock a little farther away from the bees, and placed it horizontally. At the same time, he used sharp stones or short branches to pad it and firmly fix the beehive barrel.

Next, he placed an iron plate he brought with him under the top of the beehive to catch the honey. Then he picked up the tongs and started to clamp out the honey combs from the mouth of the beehive to the depths in order, and continued until he clamped and cut out the pollen combs.

While doing these operations, Gu Changlin explained to Gu Chang: "There are honey combs and pollen combs in here. They are located in different parts of the hive."

"After removing the honey combs, what remains in the barrel are the brood combs containing eggs, larvae and pupae. We need to take them out as quickly and carefully as possible, trim them immediately, and then put them back into the barrel." Gu Changlin said as he operated.

Finally, he reminded: "You have to act quickly, otherwise they may become sick or even die due to cold and hunger if they are not cared for by adult bees for a long time."

Gu Chang nodded and said, "Okay!"

Then he carefully observed how Gu Changlin collected honey.

Watching Gu Changlin skillfully taking out bucket after bucket of honey from the wooden barrel, Gu Chang couldn't help but feel an urge to try it out.

At this time, the audience in the live broadcast room could no longer contain their excitement and urged Gu Chang to act quickly.

Someone shouted, "Hurry up, anchor, we have all learned it!"

Someone else joked: "First this, then this, then that, isn't that all?"

What’s even more interesting is that some netizens made fun of themselves.

"Brain: It's too easy, I've learned it; Hands: I've learned your mother's..."

"The anchor successfully received equipment from the NPC and began to enter the novice village, killing bee monsters, cutting beehives, and obtaining Lingbao honey..."

"..."

Faced with the lively discussions in the live broadcast room, Gu Chang just smiled and didn't care.

He put on protective gear and prepared to harvest honey himself. After inspection, the occupancy rate of bees in the wooden barrels was quite high this year.

Among the more than twenty wooden barrels, about seventeen or eighteen of them were inhabited by bees.

Gu Chang picked up a wooden barrel that was suffocated by cow dung and started to move. He approached the beehive carefully, feeling excited and nervous. This was his first time trying to harvest honey!

To be honest, Gu Chang was a little nervous when he harvested honey for the first time.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself, then slowly reached out his hand, gently stroked the hive, feeling the warmth and breath of the bees.

He knows that these tiny creatures are the elves of nature and need our careful care.

He moved very slowly, fearing to damage the bee colony. He carefully cut open the hive with a knife, trying to avoid hurting the bees.

Every movement was performed with caution and reverence, as if treating a precious work of art.

Watching Gu Chang carefully cut off the beehive bit by bit, the friends in the live broadcast room were even more nervous than Gu Chang!

They stared at the screen with their eyes wide open, not daring to miss any details.

Fortunately, the whole process went smoothly. Although Gu Chang's movements were a little clumsy and the beehive he cut down was relatively small in order not to damage the bee colony, he finally completed the task successfully!

When the last piece of beehive was cut off, Gu Chang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"call……"

He took a long breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. At this moment, he felt the joy of labor and the joy of harvest.

Looking at the honeycomb in the iron plate, Gu Chang breathed a sigh of relief! He picked up a piece of honeycomb and carefully observed the honey on it. The crystal clear liquid sparkled with an attractive light in the sun.

He couldn't help but lick his lips, imagining the sweet taste.

"It's okay, it's okay, nothing went wrong!"

Gu Chang said to the audience in the live broadcast room with a smile.
