Chapter 240 First Taste of Honey
Chapter 240 First Taste of Honey
Several people stopped and looked in the direction He Jiaojiao was looking.
Lin Feng looked at the familiar objects on the treetops, and a bad memory flooded into his mind.
That was when he first came to this continent. Although he could get prey to eat every day, he always wanted to try out so many strange and exotic things.
So, without realizing it, he set his sights on the beehive.
But who could understand? After he shook the hive down from the tree, the bees swarmed out. No matter how strong his abilities were or how high his level was, they were useless. Finally, a dignified eight-star orc had his head swollen like a pig's by a swarm of bees.
Not only that, he had countless large and small bites all over his body. During those days, he didn't even dare to go out, for fear that other animals would see him and laugh at him.
Now when he saw that familiar thing again, Lin Feng felt goosebumps all over his body.
"Lin Feng, Lin Feng?"
He Jiaojiao called out several times, but seeing that Lin Feng under her didn't respond, she reached out and patted his head.
"What's wrong? Jiaojiao."
Lin Feng came to his senses and turned to look at He Jiaojiao.
"What happened to you just now? You didn't respond no matter how I called you." He Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel very strange.
"Nothing!" Lin Feng didn't dare to tell his previous experience, for fear that He Jiaojiao and the others would laugh at him for being stupid.
"Azhu, I want to eat honey!"
He Jiaojiao pointed at the beehive on the treetop and said to Bamboo Bear.
The bamboo bear is indeed good at climbing trees among the beast husbands, but he has never made the honey in Jiaojiao's mouth. How should he do it?
Should I just go up and take that ball-like thing off?
Just as he was thinking about it, the bamboo bear's limbs turned into an animal body, and it grabbed the tree trunk and prepared to climb up.
"and many more!"
Seeing that Bamboo Bear didn't make any preparations and wanted to climb the tree, He Jiaojiao hurriedly shouted.
"what happened?"
Zhu Xiong looked back at He Jiaojiao with a bewildered look on his face. Didn't he just say he wanted to eat? Why did he stop now?
"Are you planning to just go up and pick it?"
He Jiaojiao took a look at the huge beehive. She could vaguely see some bees flying around it. If she touched it directly, wouldn’t she be stung like a pig’s head?
From He Jiaojiao's tone, Zhu Xiong knew that he must have made a mistake. But it was his first time, so how could he know what to do?
He Jiaojiao came down, picked up some not very dry branches from the side, tied them up and handed them to Lin Feng.
"Afeng, help me light this end of the torch."
Without waiting for Lin Feng to make any move, Zhu Xiong took the branch from He Jiaojiao and said, "Jiaojiao, let me do it. Be careful not to get burned."
He Jiaojiao nodded, "Okay." Then she instructed Lin Feng to make the fire smaller. After the branches were completely burned, she asked Bamboo Bear to put out the fire, and then she quickly climbed to the top of the tree holding the smoky 'torch'.
Soon, after the smoke had been lingering around the hive for a while, all the bees inside flew out. After circling in the sky for a while, they abandoned this place and flew away elsewhere.
After making sure that there were no more bees, Bamboo Bear reached out and took down the honeycomb.
He Jiaojiao couldn't wait to weigh it and found it was very heavy. She thought there must be a lot of honey in it, so she quickly took out a dagger, cut a small piece of honeycomb filled with honey, and put it in her mouth.
The aroma and sweetness of honey instantly filled her mouth, making He Jiaojiao very happy. She then cut off a few more pieces and stuffed them into the mouths of several friends beside her.
Lin Feng never thought that he could eat something he couldn't eat today through He Jiaojiao. Moreover, although this thing was terrible, it was really delicious!
After making sure that everyone had tasted it, He Jiaojiao put away the dagger, asked Zhuxiong to hold the honeycomb, and the group returned to Wanshou City in a mighty manner.
When I returned to the stone house, I saw Chuan Luo coming over for some reason.
"Bamboo Bear, what's that in your hand?"
When Chuan Luo saw the honeycomb in Takekuma's hand, he felt that it seemed familiar.
"this is not......"
I don’t know what Chuan Luo was thinking, but he retreated far away in an instant, looking very scared.
"Bamboo Bear, throw away what's in your hand! There's a scary little beast in there. If you get bit, your body will swell up huge."
Looking at Chuan Luo's appearance, He Jiaojiao instantly understood that it seemed that he had been stung by a bee!
"Don't worry, Jiaojiao has already driven out all the little beasts inside." Bamboo Bear said, reaching out and grabbing a small piece. "Try it, it's very sweet and delicious."
Chuan Luo looked for a long time, and made sure that there was indeed no little animal inside, then he tried to get closer.
As I approached, I smelled a sweet scent in the air and asked curiously, "Is this the thing that emits this sweet smell?"
Bamboo Bear nodded and handed over the honeycomb in his hand. "You can try it. It's very sweet, but you can't swallow the residue inside. You have to spit it out."
Lin Feng accidentally swallowed it just now, and He Jiaojiao then remembered that she had told everyone that this thing cannot be swallowed.
"Chuan Luo is here just in time. I'll make some honey water for everyone to drink!" He Jiaojiao said with a smile, "This is called honey. If you eat it directly, it's a bit too sweet and greasy. Dilute it with water and it will taste better."
Chuan Luo naturally had no reason to refuse such a novel thing, and happily followed them into the house.
He Jiaojiao asked Zhuxiong to cut off a piece of the honeycomb. After washing her hands, she squeezed the honey inside into a clean small bucket with her bare hands. He Jiaojiao was reluctant to throw away the remaining beeswax, so she also collected it in something.
After a while, the wooden barrel was filled with honey, and the whole stone house was filled with the aroma of honey.
Following He Jiaojiao's request, Ziyi put a little honey in each cup and rinsed it with warm water. Then, everyone present received a cup.
"Very sweet!" Chuan Luo couldn't wait to take a sip and gave a very affirmative answer.
After all, the others had already tasted plenty of pure honey before, so drinking this honey water didn't have the same amazing feeling. But at least one thing was that the diluted honey did taste more comfortable.
"Chuan Luo, you didn't come here today just to smell the honey, did you?"
Seeing Chuan Luo still looking at the wooden barrel full of honey with envy, Zhu Xiong couldn't help but tease him.
After Zhuxiong's reminder, Chuan Luo remembered that he had something important to discuss with He Jiaojiao, so he put down the cup in his hand, sat up straight and looked at He Jiaojiao in front of him.
"He Jiaojiao, the City Lord has seriously considered the matter you mentioned to him before and believes that this method is feasible."
Seeing so many people constantly coming to Ziyi to ask for cooking tips, He Jiaojiao had thought, since the people of Wanshou City loved the food so much, then people from other tribes would surely enjoy it too. Why not open a food court? This would strengthen connections between tribes and boost Wanshou City's economy.
Originally, the city lord wanted to consider it for two days, but he didn't expect Chuan Luo to come and deliver the message saying that he agreed.
