Chapter 148: Chapter 148, beekeeper? Bear Keeper!

Ning Fei returned to Qingfeng Temple, placed firewood under the stove, and lit a fire.

This stove was a traditional stove. Firewood was filled from the bottom, and there were two big pots on top.

The early farmers all had such a stove. The Kang was right next to the stove. After cooking in the stove in winter, the Kang was warm, which was much more useful than electric blankets.

His house had a kitchen, so it was more convenient to cook. However, Ning Fei liked the feeling of the stove very much, so he built one in the row of bungalows on the side of Qingfeng Temple.

The god of kitchen was also worshipped in the house with the stove.

Ning fei burned wood and boiled water, which looked very smoky.

“Autumn pear paste is really very simple. When making autumn pear paste at home, you only need to peel the pear and remove the core, then use a blender to stir it into a liquid. Then, you pour the pear juice into the pot, boil it over medium heat, and simmer it slowly over a low fire. When the pear juice becomes thick, you filter it with a gauze screen, and you get autumn pear paste.”

Ning Fei introduced it to the netizens first.

Hearing Ning Fei’s words, the netizens nodded and commented,

“Now that you mention it, I think I know how to do it.”

…

“It’s really not difficult to boil the pear juice to make it thicker.”

“So it’s that simple. Then I’ll make one too.”

“Let’s see how Abbey Dean Ning does it first to gain experience.”

“I don’t think Abbey Dean Ning’s autumn pear paste is that simple.”

The netizens’guess was right. Ning Fei added,

“This is how family-made autumn pear paste is made. If I make it myself, there might be more processes.”

After Ning Fei boiled the water, he found a small pot. The pot was a common material for brewing Chinese medicine. This material was very suitable for brewing things. It was easy to retain the original nutrients of the herbs or food.

After lighting the fire, Ning Fei went to the stove and cut a few large fresh pears into slices.

“Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang!”

Ning Fei held the kitchen knife in one hand and pressed the slices on the chopping board with the other. He cut the pears into the shape of shredded potatoes. Then, he used the surface of the knife to hold the shredded pears and put them all into the pot.

Then, he poured water into the pot.

While doing all this, Ning Fei didn’t explain anything more and just focused on his work.

The netizens felt very comfortable watching this scene.

Abbey Dean Ning’s live broadcast was as leisurely and relaxed as usual.

“They all want to live like Abbey Dean Ning, but they aren’t willing to work as hard as Abbey Dean Ning.”

A netizen sighed after seeing this scene.

The others immediately liked this bullet screen and felt the same way.

Then, Ning Fei poured some Sichuan scallops from the bag, took out half a piece of ginger, cut it into strips of ginger, and crushed an arhat fruit. He put all these into a plate.

The pot had been put on the stove to boil, and the dark brown wooden lid sewed the entire pot lid tightly. Ning Fei opened the lid and poured all the prepared things into it, mixing it with the yellow pear silk.

Then, it was time to wait.

It was not so easy to do something, and some things could not be rushed.

“Cook it slowly over a low fire like this. It will take about five hours to be ready.”

Ning Fei said after finishing the preparations.

“Five hours is so long?”

Some netizens felt that it was a little too long.

“It’s normal to boil things for five hours.”

“If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t be able to wait. Five hours is too much for me.”

“I find it troublesome to cook for only an hour.”

“Agreed. Cooking for an hour, washing dishes, and a 20-30 RMB takeout are all settled.”

“It’s not that tiring to cook with an imposing manner. It’s also good to get used to it. If It’s a two-person life, it’s better to have someone cook.”

“The times are different now. Young people have different ideas. Everyone has their own habits.”

The netizens expressed their opinions one after another.

In fact, that was indeed the case. The pace of life nowadays was very fast. Boiling a serving of autumn pear ointment for five hours was a waste of time for many people.

After Ning Fei closed the wooden cover, he came out of the kitchen.

At this time, the little dog was lying at the door with its head on the doorsill, waiting for Ning Fei with a bored look on its face. When it saw Ning Fei come out, it stood up happily and wagged its little tail rapidly.

“Little Dog, let’s go out for a trip with me.”

Ning Fei looked at it and said with a smile.

When the little dog heard the word “Go out”, it became even more jubilant and barked twice.

Ning Fei patted its head.

The Little Fox was still taking a nap. Xiao Fei was in the Little Fox’s arms and fell asleep as well.

Ning Fei still admired the little yellow chicken. One had to know that the Fox loved to eat chickens. A little yellow chicken like it basically ate one after another.

The Little Falcon probably went to play around again and could not see the bird’s shadow. However, as long as Ning Fei shouted, the little falcon would immediately fly back.

“I’m going out to buy some honey. You take care of the temple.”Before Ning Fei left, he told Jiang Xue.

“Okay, Temple Master.”

Then, Ning Fei took the little dog out of the door.

A man and a dog walked down the bluestone steps and walked out along the mountain road. The background was green mountains and blue sky and white clouds. In such an environment, no matter how one looked at it, it made one feel relaxed.

“There is a beekeeper in Qinshan Village. His house is at the northernmost part of the village, but people basically don’t live there. Most of the time, they spend their time in the small houses in the woods to the north.”

“Beekeeping is a very hard thing. They live in the open air and live by the trees. Sometimes, they have to change places. It’s very difficult. Most people can’t endure such hardships.”

“Beekeepers with better stamina will choose to travel north and south to change places. This way, business will be good. If you go to a place in the countryside, you can occasionally see a beekeeper with a few beehives. You can buy honey there.”

“The beekeepers in the village have already entered their twilight years, so now they choose to keep bees on a fixed location. Occasionally, there will be small changes, but they will not travel long distances anymore.”

“By the way, there are many fake honey on the market now. There are too many black-hearted people. When you buy Honey, you must keep your eyes open.”

Ning Fei said as he walked.

He did not walk fast. It was just a normal walk. The little dog followed closely behind him.

Beekeeper, this profession was a very unfamiliar term to the city.

As everyone listened to Ning Fei’s story, they couldn’t help but be attracted.

“There’s another phenomenon. Currently, there’s very little native honey in China. However, all the local merchants advertise that they sell native honey, and the quantity is especially high.”

“Those are mostly fake advertisements after packaging the Italian honey. The Italian honey has a high yield and poor quality. Compared to real native honey, the taste is slightly worse.”

“The beekeepers in the mountains collect real earthy honey.”

As he was speaking, Ning Fei had already walked to the north of the village.

The geese were still wandering around.

But at this time, the villagers in the north of the village were also there. With them around, the geese did not dare to be too presumptuous.

Some netizens sent a bullet message to greet them. “It’s the north of the village Goose Gang. Long time no see.”

“The owner has come out. The Goose Gang has become much more obedient.”

“Look at the little dog. It seems like it wants to go up and give it a try.”

“The little dog doesn’t know how fierce the Big Goose is!”

Ning Fei walked straight out from the north village. Qingfeng temple was located at the south of the village. This was the first time Ning Fei had walked so far north of the village.

After heading north, there was only a small path left. The weeds on the ground had been trampled clean, revealing the hard yellow soil. This was considered a path.

Ning Fei walked for another twenty minutes or so before the netizens saw a figure appear in front of him.

It was a very small canyon. The terrain was relatively flat, and there were about a dozen white beehives placed in it. There were a few cracks in the middle.

“Old Cui! I’m here to buy some honey!”

Ning fei shouted at the canyon.

Not long after, a villager wearing loose pants and a long robe and a straw hat walked out of a relatively shabby wooden house inside.

“Ning Fei, how much do you want?”Cui Feng glanced at him and asked with a smile.

“Two cans.”

“Old Cui, how’s Your Business?”Ning Fei asked when Cui Feng filled Ning Fei with honey.

“It’s just like that. Thanks to boss Liu, the customers of farmhouse music buy some from time to time.”

“You can open a shop to buy honey online. Nowadays, business is much more popular online than offline,”Ning Fei suggested.

“I know that. First of all, I’m Old and can’t get that stuff. Also, there’s no need for that. I don’t earn much, but I can spend enough. My Son can buy a house by himself down there. I’ll be safe for the rest of my life.”

Cui Feng was indifferent about opening an online shop.

“Okay.”Ning Fei took the honey and gave the money. He didn’t say anything else.

At this time, Ning Fei noticed that there seemed to be a figure behind the honey box. He took a closer look and saw that it was a black bear!

“Old Cui, move aside. There’s a black bear over there!”Ning Fei hurriedly reminded him. Of course, he wasn’t afraid of the black bear. He was worried that the black bear would hurt Cui Feng.

Cui Feng also turned around and saw the black bear, but he didn’t panic at all. He just waved his hand, “It’s okay. I raised it. When it was young, it came to my place to steal honey. Later on, I raised it. I’ve raised it for four to five years now.”

Immediately, Cui Feng shouted at the black bear, “Go back!”

Hearing his words, as expected, the black bear lowered its head and crawled back as if it had done something wrong.

“Don’t be afraid, it’s not aggressive.”Old Cui thought that Ning Fei was afraid, so he comforted him.

Hearing his words, Ning Fei smiled helplessly and didn’t explain anything. He held two jars of honey and said,

“Okay, then I’ll go back.”

Then, he left in a carefree manner.

At this time, the netizens felt extremely speechless.

Who were these people in Qinshan village?

This was a beekeeper? This was a bear keeper!
