After returning home, Xia Qingyuan first placed the chopped bamboo in the yard, and then helped Shen Yilin handle the beehive.
Lin Dongxiu took one look with a smile and then went to clean the mushrooms and fungus picked today.
These things need to be done in time when you come back, otherwise over time, the dirty particles will get into the mushroom umbrella surface and it will be difficult to clean it.
As for the bamboo shoots, she kept two to eat at home and took the rest to the store to make cold dishes at noon.
Xia Qingyuan took down the beehive, placed it on the ground, and took two bowls to prepare bee pupae and honey.
Shen Yilin moved over and brought two small benches, and handed one to Xia Qingyuan: "Sister-in-law, sit down."
He also moved a small bench and sat opposite Xia Qingyuan, watching her work on the hive.
The shell is earthy in color, with an uneven surface that looks a little oozing.
Xia Qingyuan took a small machete and cut a hole in the shell of the honeycomb.
She grabbed one side and pulled, and the shell of the hive was peeled off with a splash.
The honeycomb layers layer by layer appear in front of you.
Shen Yilin couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Xia Qingyuan took out one of the honeycomb layers, with fine small polygons arranged neatly on it.
They are also covered with a white film. If you look carefully, there seems to be something surging inside.
Xia Qingyuan tore open one of the small films, and a fat, yellow-white jade-colored bee pupa head popped out.
Shen Yilin couldn't help it and shouted "Wow".
Xia Qingyuan smiled and said, "Bring the bowl quickly."
Shen Yilin quickly picked up the bowl and said, "Sister-in-law, put this here."
Xia Qingyuan turned the hive upside down, and the little fat bee pupae fell into the bowl.
She tore off the rest of the film one by one, Shen Yilin also came to help, and then poured it upside down in the bowl.
With such repeated operations, most of the bee pupae in the sea bowl will be installed.
Shen Yilin looked at them and began to imagine what they would look like after frying.
This season, there is not much nectar that bees can collect.
Therefore, there are only two pieces of honey in the entire hive that are as big as an adult's palm.
However, this is enough for Shen Yilin.
Xia Qingyuan stretched out her finger and licked a little honey that had just been stained on it.
As soon as it enters the mouth, it is sweet to the heart.
He put the honeycomb in a lunch box and said, "Put it in here.
Every time you want to eat, just scoop some out with a clean spoon and put it in a bowl to eat."
Honey has excellent shelf-stable properties.
She had read the news that well-preserved honey was found in ancient tombs hundreds of years ago.
It's just that if you often drool, it won't necessarily happen.
Shen Yilin nodded sharply: "I understand."
His saliva was almost drooling all over the floor.
He finally waited for Xia Qingyuan's words: "Go, bring a bowl, and I'll make some for you."
Shen Yilin pursed his lips: "Sister-in-law, just put it in my mouth."
Xia Qingyuan smiled and poked his forehead with her finger that was not stained with honey: "Little greedy cat, I really want to eat it in one bite, it's so sweet."
Real pure honey will be so sweet that it may even make you cough.
Shen Yilin could only say: "Okay."
Then he went to the kitchen to get a bowl and a spoon, and ran out quickly: "Sister-in-law, here."
Xia Qingyuan scooped out a full spoonful for him and said, "Don't put it in your mouth all at once, it's too sweet.
You use a spoon and eat it bit by bit."
Shen Yilin responded: "I understand."
Then he couldn't wait to scoop up a small spoonful and put it in his mouth.
Mmm, so sweet!
It turns out that honey tastes like this when you eat it in one bite!
When he was in Xishui Village, other friends took out a honeycomb from their home. He took the honey in his hand and went all over the village to seduce the friends.
Shen Yilin looked at it greedily. Seeing that the relationship between the two was relatively good, he broke off a little bit and gave it to him.
The so-called little bit was broken off again and again, and finally it was only as small as a booger.
It's so small that it melts as soon as you put it in your mouth.
Xia Qingyuan smiled and shook her head: "Little greedy cat."
After finishing processing the hive, Xia Qingyuan began to fry the bee pupae.
She picked out the dirt inside the bee pupae she had just taken out, waited for the oil pan to heat up, poured the bee pupae in and fried them, turning them constantly.
After the bee pupae are fried, use a mesh spoon to scoop them out and drain off the oil.
Then pour the fried bee pupae into the hot dry pot, stir-fry slightly, and the bee pupae will be ready.
She held the prepared bee pupae and invited Shen Yilin and Lin Dongxiu to eat them.
Lin Dongxiu only tasted a few, but was unwilling to eat it: "You guys eat it, I don't like this."
How many times did parents use this excuse to give their children an extra bite to eat when they were little?
Xia Qingyuan pulled her: "We can't both eat such a big plate. It's over-nutritional, isn't it?"
Shen Yilin had already stuffed a big mouthful into his mouth, nodded and said: "Mom, let's eat together.
You’ll know after you eat a few more, it’s delicious!”
Stir-fried bee pupae are less oily and crisper.
When you bite it with your teeth, you will find a fragrant pulp inside the crispy shell, which tastes a bit like milk.
Lin Dongxiu had no choice but to eat some more symbolically.
The taste is indeed very good. Her wife here is no better than before. No matter what she cooks now, everything tastes delicious.

When I went to the cigarette factory to sell clothes in the afternoon, I didn't buy anything the day before, but after hearing other people talk about it, I came out right after work.
I was afraid that if I took a step slower, my clothes would be gone.
Xia Qingyuan thought that after returning from the provincial capital, she might not come so frequently, so she said: "We will come here every Tuesday afternoon.
If you like our clothes, you can come over on Tuesday.
We also have a cold vegetable shop called Old Street in the south of the city, and we usually set up a stall there at noon."
When everyone heard this, they felt a little dissatisfied. Of course, they felt that there was not enough time in the day.
Although they don’t buy clothes every day, it doesn’t stop them from admiring beautiful clothes.
Some people who bought it yesterday know that some of the clothes Xia Qingyuan brought today are different from yesterday's clothes.
Moreover, the price is within the range of one's own affordability. Young girls who have not yet started a family can still afford to buy two pieces of clothing a month.
But they didn't say much, and they all said they understood.
When returning, Xia Qingyuan said to Axiang: "Axiang, in two days I have something to go to the provincial capital with your brother-in-law Xia.
It'll take about three or four days, and I'll have to take care of it then.
When you are too busy, you can go over there in the old street without having to run so hard every day."
Axiang was a little worried about Xia Qingyuan's departure.
It is a challenge for her, but she is confident that she can do it.
Then he responded: "Okay, I understand. Sister Xia, please feel free to go."
Xia Qingyuan patted her shoulder: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself.
The clothes from Lao Dai will arrive the day after tomorrow, and I will sort them out. You can come over and pick up the clothes that you want to sell every day."
According to normal mailing speed, it will take at least a week from Yangcheng to Diancheng.
I don’t know what relationship Lao Dai used to get it delivered in three days.
It's just that I have to trouble her to go to the bus station to pick up her clothes.
Xia Qingyuan couldn't help but admire Lao Dai's efficiency.
So far, he seems to be a good partner.
She looked at the rolling clouds in the sky, hoping that her trip to the provincial capital would go smoothly.
