Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
After Jiang Yichen watched the live broadcast of the whole shark predation, it was tantamount to a wonderful and spectacular action blockbuster, and after a few sighs, he returned downhill from the half-moon cliff in the north.
When I came to the hall on the second floor of the bamboo building, I saw Xizi, Shi Suo'er and Qingqing gathered around the dining table, hunched over and discussing something.
It's strange, it's not dinner time yet, what are these people doing here?
"What are you looking at there?" Jiang Yichen walked over and asked.
"Yo, Brother Chenzi is back. We've just got something good here, you see. Kiko stepped aside, revealing a small plastic bucket and a porcelain bowl on the table.
"What, what is this?" Jiang Yichen leaned over to take a look, only to see that the porcelain bowl contained half a bowl of yellow and clear viscous liquid, the texture was crystal clear, and a strong floral fragrance came to his face.
"Oh, wild honey. Rewarded so quickly? He was pleasantly surprised.
It seems that two months ago, I heard that Xizi encouraged Shi Suo'er to make a large wooden peak box, and invited the nest of wild bees in the south of the hundred fruit orchard and the old and small pots into the super-standard mansion specially prepared for them. Since then, we have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and have multiplied.
In addition to the porcelain bowl, the small plastic flat bucket next to it also looks like half a bucket is inside. It seems that the wild bees have had a good life after accepting Zhao'an, and they are all working hard to produce.
"That is, there are a lot of flowers on our island, and there are enough pollen. Thanks to the orchard, there are still many in the vegetable field. No, I just cut it in the morning. That's all there is to it. Oh yes. Those little ones have now let me clean up obediently, and I can't call wild bees anymore. Xizi happily introduced, her face filled with the joy and pride of the harvest.
"I'll pour the water and let Brother Chenzi taste it first." Shi Suo'er said, and walked to the sideboard by the wall to get a cup.
Qingqing lifted the thermos on the floor on the table.
A moment later, a cup of pale yellow, steaming honey water was handed over to Jiang Yichen.
The fragrance of the flowers is like a ribbon floating in the air, swirling and turning, and then drilling into the nostrils with force. It seems to have life, and before tasting it, it makes people feel refreshed and happy.
Well, the smell is really good, pure and fragrant, with slightly closed eyes, as if you are in a hundred flowers. The sun is shining all around.
Bring the glass to your lips and take a slow sip.
Immediately, a sweet and pure heat flow instantly overflowed into the mouth, the cheeks and teeth were fragrant, and the feeling of intoxication arose. Suddenly it went down the throat again. A wave of energy quickly rose in the abdomen, and the warmth swam around, and the whole body was extremely comfortable.
"Honey!" Jiang Yichen opened his eyes and couldn't help blurting out praise.
Over the years in the city, I have occasionally tasted honey. It's still the kind of bottles sold in supermarkets with beautiful packaging, but it always feels like it's either sweet and greasy. Makes the throat clogged; Either it is sweet with a little sourness, and the aroma is not there.
Obviously, under the impact of the great wave of the modern commodity economy, businessmen are keen to pursue short-term profits, so sugar paddles, saccharin, sweeteners, artificial flavors and all kinds of messy additives have appeared, and in the end, this can only appear in vain.
The best honey in my memory is the wild honey that I went to Mopanzi Village to play when I was a child, and that time Shun'er and Xizi took him to the back mountain to get wild honey. Although he was stung for this, the price was not small, but the sweet and refreshing taste made him unforgettable.
And the cup of honey water in his hand, if there is no deviation in his memory, should be of higher quality than the wild honey in the mountain behind the grinding plate. It's really a good thing.
"Wow, that's delicious." Qingqing also made herself a cup, tasted it, and narrowed her eyes into a crescent moon.
"That is, those fruit trees and flowers and cauliflower on our island are all first-class, plus my craftsmanship, of course this honey is not bad." When Kiko saw their appreciation, she couldn't help but be quite proud, this by-product was made by him from beginning to end.
"Yes, yes, Kiko has a lot of credit. Come on, drink it all. Jiang Yichen did not hesitate to praise.
Several people each drank a glass of honey water, smacking the taste, and even enjoyed.
In addition, because the concentration of this honey is much higher than that of ordinary goods, and the sugar content is sufficient, you only need to add a little bit to make a large cup with boiling water, and the utilization rate is obviously very high.
Since then, the island has added another classic drink. And as long as the fruit trees and the various crops in the fields are there, the honey will be endless. Moreover, the large beehive is left in a fixed place and does not move, and it generally does not need to be taken care of under normal circumstances, which can be described as a good project to save time and effort.
"By the way, Xizi, remember to take it easy when you cut honey, but you have to keep enough rations for the queen bee's family." After a while, Jiang Yichen reminded again. Human beings should not be too greedy when it comes to receiving the gifts of nature.
"Don't worry, I have a number in my heart, and I can't starve them." Kiko is full of promises.
Shi Suo'er thought about it, and then brewed another cup and brought it to the kitchen downstairs for Lao Dou to taste together.
At this moment, Qingqing's cell phone rang suddenly, so she walked to the verandah to answer the phone.
A few minutes later, she returned from the call and informed Jiang Yichen that the call was from Sister Feng Lan, saying that Koufuduo had negotiated the price with the landlord and was ready to rent No. 17 Courtyard in Xiushui Lane, with a rent of 3,000 yuan per month for a period of three years.
Sister Feng Lan asked her to go back and go through the relevant procedures such as paying rent and signing the contract.
Jiang Yichen nodded when he heard this, Zhang Fenglan discussed this matter with him a few days ago, and continued to expand the number of mouths, striving to increase the single-day output of mille-feuille by more than two thousand.
"Then you can go back early tomorrow morning, well, by the way, bring some of this honey, and let Auntie, Xiaojia, Lao Chu, and Liu Minxiu taste it." He confessed. Good things naturally need to be shared by everyone.
"Cheng, I'll find a glass bottle to divide it in." Kiko responded immediately.
Qingqing has only been on the island for two days this time, and she hasn't made out enough with Xuedou and Weiwei, and she hasn't lived enough in the special room for the lady of the bamboo building, so she has to go back, and she is really reluctant. But there is no way to do what is needed for work.
In the afternoon of the same day, Jiang Yichen took Qingqing to the beach to pick up shells and asked her to bring them to Xiaojia's sister.
As the saying goes, since the fall of Yunsha Island, several batches of good-quality snail shells have been sent to Su Xiaojia one after another, many of which have been made into finished products and sold in the Blue Sea Star store.
Qingqing loved the fun activity, with Snow Beans by her side, happily walking back and forth on the gravel beach, and before the tide rose, two nylon bags filled with various snail shells. (To be continued)
