Chapter 40: The Beekeeping Witch

The group chatted and talked, and soon came to a hut outside the forest.

The cottage was a two-storey wooden house surrounded by a fence, and diagonally opposite the hut there was a sheepfold for domme sheep and chickens, while the hens and chicks were leisurely looking for food on the ground, and the domme sheep were grazing on the grass outside the fence.

There is also a warehouse for miscellaneous items in the fence yard, and the three buildings are not in a row side by side, and they are in the windshield and the topography factors, and the three buildings are loosely distributed, and neatly facing a center.

More than 30 meters away from the fence yard, there is a row of wooden beehives.

There were a large number of bees queuing around these hives waiting to enter the hive, and Lawrence didn't really hear it here because of the distance.

Lawrence looked at the location of the beehive, in order to make the bees better to return home, the beehive and the apiary are set up in a place with a good view, especially the nest near a few tens of meters without too dense trees.

It's an open area, surrounded by wildflowers, and mostly quiet and free from predators.

Because of its proximity to the river, bees can also drink water from the dew drops on plants, and they don't need to worry about anything in normal times, as long as they are careful not to be destroyed by intruders.

Emma, the beekeeper, soon came out of the house, and beside the lady in the black robe, there was a little girl who was carefully accompanied.

The girl quickly became happy when she saw Lawrence and the others.

Lawrence walked over, "Emma, I've come to see you and brought you some food and dessert. ”

Emma, the witch who was able to control the swarm, said politely, "Thank you, merciful master. ”

Lawrence smiled, "It's been a long time since I've had such a leisure, and there happens to be such good weather, so we're going to have a picnic outside today and try our desserts and pies together." ”

"I am very willing and honored." The Bee Witch smiled in response.

Lawrence looked at the girl next to him, "Eve, are you working well here?" ”

Eve grabbed the clothes on her abdomen with both hands and said nervously: "Master, I work very hard, I work hard every day!" ”

Lawrence looked at the neck and wrists of the garment and was relieved to make sure that Eve had not been abused.

"I brought some small gifts, let's come and have a look."

Lawrence asked the man behind him to bring over a box.

The soldier placed the box on the ground and opened it, revealing the cloth and package inside.

Lawrence took out a small package and handed it to Eve, "That's all for you, some food, and the rest is Emma's." ”

Lawrence said to Emma, "There were sheets, robes, and underwear for washing, and socks and combs, and a can of shampoo for shampooing, and a roll of toilet paper. ”

Emma was very fond of these gifts, "Thank you, I need these very much, this year's honey will definitely produce more, I will send new honey in a few days." ”

"Don't worry, spring has just arrived." Lawrence is not in a hurry about the honey, "If you want to send it, it will be the end of the month, today is just the twenty-second, I happen to be in Oak City on the last day of the month, and the rest of the time I will go to the port to be busy with shipbuilding." ”

The beekeeper remembered it, "Yes, I remember." ”

Lawrence soon invited the beekeepers to a picnic and had a hearty lunch.

Lawrence asks about the beekeeper's house.

"You've been living here for a while, is there anything that needs to be repaired in terms of the house?"

The beekeeper thought for a moment, "There is no problem with the house, but I still can't use that fireplace, and Eve and I can't make bread." ”

Lawrence asked, "What do you usually eat?" ”

The beekeeper replied, "I go and buy some bread every week, once a week, and I cook porridge and eat some honey and grilled fish." ”

Lawrence sighed, "It's pathetic, this kind of thing should have been told to me sooner." ”

After discovering the problem, Lawrence was quick to come up with a solution.

"It's too far away from Oak City, so I'm here today to help you check the neighborhood, expel some dangerous animals, and prevent bears and other beasts from approaching here."

"When I get back, I'll send someone to tell the manor on the hill, and I'll set up a wax workshop between here and Oak City in the future, and it will be more convenient when the time comes."

"I can't let you two go hungry now, I'll teach you how to cook, you have to learn at least two cooking skills."

After Lawrence finished speaking, Saliel said happily, "I'll do it!" I'm the best at this kind of thing! ”

In fact, Sariel is not very good at cooking, and Lawrence prefers to eat Andrew's cooking when he is at her house.

The maids, Emma and Sariel, are the ones who can cook, but they don't cook well, and they don't know what to do.

Lawrence's house is all about Boole and a few maids with outstanding cooking skills, who cooks deliciously and who cooks very ordinary, everyone can tell the difference.

"I'll come, Sariel, you take people to take a look outside, especially in the mountains and forests to the west, to see if there are any beasts approaching, and if you encounter eagles and rabbits, you can kill them."

Lawrence shows Saril the way and reminds her what she is really good at.

Saliel asked, "And who's going to teach them how to cook?" ”

"I'll come." Lawrence calmly stated the truth.

Sariel felt that Lawrence was right, and when she had eaten her fill, she went hunting with the rest of the group.

Lawrence watched Sophia lie on the side and refused to move, "Sophia, go and inspect the mountains and forests to the west with Saliel to find the lurking prey!" ”

"It's... Master. Sophia reluctantly got up and rode slowly on the Dom sheep to hunt with Saliel.

Lawrence's cooking skills are very good, whether it is eating for himself or cooking for others, he is very willing to show real skills.

Sariel is not self-aware, referring to the fact that she knows that Lawrence makes it delicious, but she doesn't think it's bad either.

Lawrence has always eaten whoever makes the best food, and he will not be wronged.

Fortunately, Bull's cooking was better, and the craft was passed on to the rest of the people, so Lawrence didn't do it himself if he had a better choice.

Soon after working in the kitchen for a while, Lawrence taught Emma and Eve how to make vegetable egg drop soup and vegetable gnocchi soup.

The apiary regularly gets some bread, honey and wild fruits, and there is no food to eat.

Lawrence wanted something sweet when he was in his toughest days, and honey bread was easily available at the apiary, much better than in many other places outside.

It's almost busy here, and Sariel and the others are also full of loads.

"Lawrence! Come out and have a look! We've caught a lot of meat! ”

Lawrence walked out of the kitchen and saw prey on the ground.

A one-meter-tall wild boar, two wolves, and a deer.

"It seems that there are indeed quite a lot of threats around here." Lawrence quickly said: "I'll arrange a special hunting team to come over tomorrow, and it just so happens that you don't seem to have learned how to cook, so I'll arrange for someone to come over and cook for a while." ”

The bee witch saw that Lawrence paid so much attention to the safety issues around her, and the witch, who was taken care of, finally showed her real skills.

"I might be able to help, where the beasts here, my bees are easy to find."

Controlling a swarm can be used not only to attack, but also to do very, very many things.

The bee witch, who was reluctant to show too much at first, offered to help at this time and was willing to play a little more role.

"Okay." Lawrence suggested, "Then I'll give you two more servants to do your laundry and cooking, and you just need to tell the patrol where the beasts are, and the patrol will go and remove the animals that might threaten the flower fields and bees." ”

The Bee Witch didn't think it before, but today she found out that she really deserved a few more servants.

Lawrence's proposal was a good one, and the Bee Witch didn't worry about her sorcery and abilities leading to death.

The beekeeper smiled and lowered her head, and agreed in a good mood: "Yes, master." ”

Whether it's where the beast is hiding or the location of the eagle's nest, as long as it is discovered by the bee colony, then humans will soon come over to clean it up!

With the cooperation of the Bee Witch, Lawrence has an extra insurance to control the territory, and can have an additional means of searching.
