Ning Fei returned to Qingfeng Temple, put firewood under the stove and lit a fire.
This stove is still a traditional stove, filled with firewood from below, and with two large pots on top.
Early farmhouses all had stoves like this, with the kang right next to the stove. After cooking in the stove in winter, the kang would be warm, which was much more effective than electric blankets.
There is a kitchen in his house, which makes cooking easier. However, Ning Fei liked the feeling of the stove very much, so he specially built one in the row of bungalows on the side of Qingfengguan.
The Kitchen God is also enshrined in the kitchen house.
Ning Fei burned firewood and boiled water, which smelled like fireworks.
“Qiu pear paste is really very simple. To make Qiu pear paste at home, you only need to peel and core the pears, then use a blender to blend them into liquid, pour the pear juice into a pot, bring to a boil over medium heat, simmer over low heat, and so on. After the pear juice becomes thick, filter it through a gauze strainer to get the autumn pear paste."
Ning Fei first introduced it to netizens.
After hearing what Ning Fei said, netizens nodded and commented:
"That being said, I think I know how to do it."
"It's really not difficult to make the pear juice thicker."
"It turns out it's that simple. Then I'll make one too."
"Let's see what Ning Guanzhu does first to gain more experience."
"I think the Qiuli ointment made by Guanzhu Ning shouldn't be that simple."
Netizens’ guess was right, Ning Fei said again:
"This is how home-made Qiuli paste is made. If I make it myself, there may be more steps."
After Ning Fei boiled the water, he found a small pot. The pot was made of a common material for boiling traditional Chinese medicine. This material is very suitable for boiling things and can easily retain the original nutrients of medicinal materials or food.
After lighting the fire, Ning Fei came to the stove, cut several fresh large pears that had been washed, and cut them into several pineapple slices.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"
Ning Fei held a kitchen knife in one hand and pressed the pineapple slices on the chopping board with the other, cutting the pineapple into shapes like shredded potatoes. After that, he held up the pineapple shreds with the blade of his knife and put them all into the pot.
Next, pour water into the pot.
While doing all this, Ning Fei didn't explain anything more and just focused on his work.
Netizens felt very comfortable watching this scene.
Ning Guanzhu's live broadcast, as always, has such a leisurely and relaxed atmosphere.
"Everyone wants to live like Guanzhu Ning, but they are unwilling to work as hard as Guanzhu Ning."
One netizen sighed after seeing this scene.
Others immediately liked this comment and felt that they felt the same.
After that, Ning Fei poured some Sichuan clams from the bag, took out half a piece of ginger and cut it into shreds, crushed a mangosteen, and put everything on a plate.
The pot has been placed on the stove for cooking, and the dark brown wooden lid seals the entire pot tightly. Ning Fei opened the lid of the pot, poured all the prepared things in, and mixed them with the pineapple shreds.
Then, it’s all about waiting.
You cannot succeed in doing something quickly, and some things cannot be rushed.
"It takes about five hours to cook like this on low heat."
Ning Fei said after finishing the preparations.
"Five hours so long?"
Some netizens heard this sentence and felt that it took a long time.
"It's normal to cook something for five hours."
"If I couldn't wait, five hours would be too much for me."
“It only takes me an hour to cook, and I’m not even bothered by it.”
"I agree. I'll cook for an hour and wash the dishes. A takeaway worth twenty or thirty yuan is all settled."
"Cooking with Qi Shi is not that tiring, and it's good to get used to it. If two people live together, it's better to have someone cook."
"Times are different now, young people think differently, and everyone has their own habits."
Netizens expressed their opinions one after another.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Today’s life is very fast-paced. Five hours to boil a Qiuli ointment is a waste of time for many people.
Ning Fei closed the wooden cover and came out of the kitchen.
At this time, the puppy was lying at the door, putting his head on the threshold, waiting for Ning Fei, looking bored. Seeing Ning Fei coming out, it stood up happily, its tail wagging rapidly.
"Little dog, let's go out with me."
Ning Fei looked at him and smiled.
When the puppy heard the word "go out", it became even more excited and barked twice.
Ning Fei touched its head.
Xiaohu is still taking a lunch break, and Xiaofei is in Xiaohu's arms and has also fallen asleep.
Ning Fei still admires this little yellow chicken. You know, foxes love to eat chickens. Little yellow chickens like it basically eat one at a time.
The little falcon probably went to play around again, and there was no shadow of the bird. But as long as Ning Fei calls, the little falcon will fly back immediately.
"I'm going out to buy some honey. You can look after Guanli." Ning Fei said to Jiang Xue before leaving.
"Okay, Master."
Then, Ning Fei took the puppy out.
One person and one dog walked down the bluestone steps and walked out along the mountain road. The background was the green mountains and the blue sky and white clouds. In such an environment, no matter how you look at it, you feel relaxed.
"There is a beekeeper in Qinshan Village. His house is in the northernmost part of the village, but he basically doesn't live there. He spends most of his time in a hut in the woods to the north."
"Beekeeping is a very hard job. You have to live in the open and close to trees, and sometimes you have to move around. It's very difficult. Most people can't bear this kind of hardship."
"Beekeepers with better physical strength will choose to travel around and change places, so that business can be good. If you go to the countryside, you can occasionally see a beekeeper with several beehives, and you can buy honey there."
"The beekeepers in the village have entered their twilight years, so they now choose to keep bees in fixed locations. Occasionally they will move around for a small amount of time, but they will no longer travel long distances."
"By the way, there are a lot of fake honey on the market now, and there are too many evil people. Everyone must keep their eyes open when buying honey."
Ning Fei said as he walked.
He didn't walk very fast, just a normal walk, with the puppy following closely behind him.
Beekeeper, this profession is a very unfamiliar term to cities.
Everyone was attracted by Ning Fei's story.
"Another strange phenomenon is that there is actually very little local honey in China, but merchants in various places advertise that they sell local honey, and the quantity is extremely large."
“Those are mostly false advertisements after packaging of Italian honey. Italian honey has high yield, poor quality, and tastes worse than real local honey.”
"The beekeepers in the mountains collect real honey."
Just as he was talking, Ning Fei had already reached the north of the village.
The big geese were still hanging around there.
However, the villagers from the north of the village were also there at this time. With them around, Big Goose didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
Some netizens posted a message saying hello: "It's the Cunbei Goose Gang, long time no see."
"The master has come out, and the goose forces have become more honest."
"Look at the little dog, it seems he wants to go up and do some gestures."
"The little dog doesn't know how ferocious the big goose is!"
Ning Fei walked directly from the north of the village. Qingfengguan was in the south of the village. This was the first time for Ning Fei to go so far to the north of the village.
After heading north, only a small path remains. The weeds on the ground have been trampled clean, revealing the yellow hard soil, which is considered a road.
Ning Fei walked for more than twenty minutes before netizens saw a figure appearing in front of him.
It was a small canyon with relatively flat terrain. There were about a dozen white beehives placed in it, with several gaps in the middle.
"Old Cui! Let me buy some honey!"
Ning Fei shouted loudly towards the canyon.
Not long after, I saw a mountain man wearing loose trousers, a long shirt, and a straw hat walking out of a relatively dilapidated wooden house inside.
"Ning Fei, how much do you want?" Cui Feng glanced at him and asked with a smile.
"Two cans, please."
"Old Cui, how is your business?" Ning Fei asked when Cui Feng was filling Ning Fei with honey.
"That's it. Thanks to Boss Liu, the guests of the farmhouse occasionally buy some."
"You can open a store to buy honey online. Now online business is much more popular than offline." Ning Fei suggested.
"I know that. First, I'm older and can't afford that stuff. Also, it's not necessary. I don't earn much, but it's enough. My son can buy a house on his own, and I'll be stable in my life. "
Cui Feng is very indifferent to opening an online store.
"Well, okay." Ning Fei took the honey, gave the money, and didn't say much more.
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, get out of the way, there's a black bear over there!" Ning Fei reminded him hastily. Of course he was not afraid of the black bear. He was worried that the black bear would hurt Cui Feng.
Cui Feng also looked back. When he saw the black bear, he didn't panic at all. He just waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I raised it. When it was young, it came to my place to steal honey, and then I raised it." , I have been raising it for four or five years now.”
Immediately, Cui Feng shouted at the black bear: "Go back!"
After hearing his words, as expected, the black bear lowered its head, as if it had done something wrong, and crawled back again.
"Don't be afraid, it's not aggressive." Lao Cui thought Ning Fei was afraid, so he comforted him.
After hearing his words, Ning Fei smiled helplessly, but without explaining anything, he picked up two jars of honey and said:
"Okay, then I'll go back."
Then, he left gracefully.
At this time, netizens felt particularly speechless.
Who are the people in this Qinshan Village
Is this a beekeeper? This is a bear keeper!
