Chapter 555: Preparing Food
The three of them worked until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and finally they finished collecting honey from all the wooden barrels in the area.
At this time, there were three large bamboo baskets filled to the ground, all of which were filled with honey that exuded a rich and sweet fragrance. It was golden and dazzling, as dazzling as the sun.
"Hahaha, this year's harvest is really not small, much more than last year!" Gu Changlin smiled from ear to ear, his face filled with satisfaction and joy. He squatted down and gently stroked the bamboo basket full of honey, his eyes sparkling with happiness.
Gu Xile was also very excited, thinking that he had helped his grandfather collect so much honey today and could show off to his parents when he got home in the evening.
Maybe you can get some rewards, such as slaughtering a few roosters and having a delicious meal.
Thinking of this, he felt happy. He no longer had to worry about being beaten for making mistakes.
Gu Chang also felt extremely happy. He had never thought that one day he would be able to collect wild honey with his own hands.
Although he was nearly stung by a wild bee during the process, the fun he experienced was indescribable.
This experience made him deeply appreciate the magic and beauty of nature, and also made him more expectant and passionate about life.
The friends in the live broadcast room were having such a great time watching the show!
For many of them, it was the first time to see wild honey being collected in such a primitive way in such deep mountains!
It felt like I was watching a blockbuster documentary!
The operation was a complete success and everyone was very satisfied!
The only ones who are dissatisfied are probably the bee colonies!
The honey they worked hard for a whole year to make was almost all taken away by people, and they were praised as "hard-working little bees". They were so angry that they flew around and screamed in the air!
……
Perhaps because they were in a good mood and high spirits, the journey home was smooth and the three of them quickly arrived at Gu Changlin's home.
As soon as he stepped into the house, Gu Changlin immediately plunged into his busy work.
He first took out the honey from the basket, then picked up a sharp knife and carefully cut the honeycomb into small pieces, trying to make the pieces as small as possible.
When this is done, he pours the pieces into a fine bamboo basket, places it firmly over a clean iron bucket, and begins the first rough filtering.
Gu Changlin operated the process skillfully and patiently explained: "This process takes about two to three hours to filter out about 80%-90% of the honey.
The remaining very small amount of honey and wax residue can be steamed to obtain mature honey and beeswax. "
Hearing this, Gu Chang asked in surprise: "Does it take so long?"
Gu Changlin smiled and replied: "Of course, if you are in a hurry, you can also use the manual extrusion method, but if you have enough time, it is recommended to use this traditional method, which can achieve better results."
At this time, some honey has seeped out of the bamboo basket, slowly flowing down the wall of the basket, and finally gathering at the bottom of the basket.
Seeing this, Gu Chang carefully stretched out his finger, dipped a drop, then gently took a sip and put it into his mouth.
In an instant, a rich honey fragrance hits your nose, as if you are in a sea of flowers, making you intoxicated.
This native honey is bright yellow in color, as warm as the sun; or it is amber in color, crystal clear, and as beautiful as a gem.
The honey is rich, thick, and silky smooth, making you want to take a sip.
The honey fragrance is rich and overflowing, as if the fragrance of the entire nature is integrated into it.
It is soft and delicate in the mouth, with a mellow taste, sweet but not greasy, leaving people with an endless aftertaste.
The aroma is long-lasting and lingers in the mouth for a long time, leaving a faint fragrance.
The aftertaste has a distinct aroma of medicinal flowers, making people feel the unique charm of nature.
"Hmm...it smells so good!" Gu Chang couldn't help but exclaim.
He closed his eyes, carefully savoring the unique aroma and taste, his heart filled with awe for nature.
"This multi-flower honey brewed by wild bees is definitely the best honey in terms of taste alone!" Gu Changlin said with a smile.
He looked at Gu Chang's intoxicated expression, his eyes full of relief and pride.
"Today, I'll make you this traditional honey dish, so you can taste our specialties!"
Gu Changlin said excitedly, his face full of enthusiasm.
"Haha, okay, thank you for your hard work, Uncle Gu!" Gu Chang responded with a smile.
However, Gu Xile had already put the basket aside and ran to catch the rooster impatiently!
Along the way, he had already negotiated with Gu Changlin that they must slaughter a big rooster to enjoy tonight!
At this moment, there must have been a big rooster that unfortunately fell into his "clutches"!
