Chapter 547 Honey
"The world has suffered from fake honey for a long time"!
In this world, too many people are troubled by fake honey, and they long for the real pure and natural sweet taste. And Gu Chang is the one who is determined to change the status quo.
In order to get a good source of nectar, Gu Chang went to find an old man named Gu Changlin from a village in the next town.
This old man has a special obsession with making honey. He has more than 20 years of experience in beekeeping and is known as the famous "beekeeping magician" in the surrounding villages.
Gu Changlin's love for beekeeping and honey making has reached the level of obsession. He is often immersed in it and often ignores other things.
However, it is precisely because of this focus and perseverance that the honey brewed by the bees he raised is well-known in the surrounding villages. It is a real delicacy that makes people linger on the taste.
Gu Chang knew that in order to obtain the best honey, he had to work with such experts.
……
"Uncle Gu is busy!"
As soon as Gu Chang entered the yard, he saw Gu Changlin walking around the beehives and greeted him with a smile.
Gu Chang and Gu Changlin are old acquaintances.
Hearing the voice, Gu Changlin turned around and saw that it was Gu Chang. A smile appeared on his face: "Hey, Xiao Chang, how come you have time to come to my place today?"
Gu Chang smiled and replied, "Haha, I'm just taking a break from my busy schedule. I want to come and see how you raise bees and make honey, Uncle Gu!"
When Gu Changlin heard this, his eyes lit up and he jokingly asked, "Why? Are you interested in honey?"
Gu Chang nodded and said a little embarrassedly: "Well, I am indeed a little interested. Can you tell me about it?"
Seeing that Gu Chang was so eager to learn, Gu Changlin immediately became interested and patted his chest: "Of course!"
After finally finding someone who was interested in honey, Gu Changlin wanted to tell Gu Chang everything he knew. So, he began to talk about bee breeding and honey brewing...
"Everyone knows that honey is a good thing, especially real honey, which is really good! It not only has extremely high nutritional value, but also allows people to taste that unique sweet taste. In addition, honey is also a traditional Chinese medicinal material with various effects!" Gu Changlin said excitedly.
Gu Chang also nodded in agreement: "Yes, you are right, I also think honey is really good. But there are too many fake honeys on the market now!"
"That's right. It's because these people only care about making money and completely ignore the health of consumers that the market is filled with all kinds of counterfeit and shoddy products." Gu Changlin said angrily.
"Alas, in order to earn more profits, those unscrupulous merchants actually add a lot of water to the raw honey to increase its weight. What's even worse is that they even mix it with syrup and maltose. It's simply abominable!" Gu Changlin continued to expose the dark side of the industry.
"What is maltose?" Gu Chang asked curiously.
"Maltose is a yellowish-brown thick liquid. After adding syrup, it looks very similar to real honey, but the taste is very different!" explained Gu Changlin.
"Ah? So this is how fake honey is made?" Gu Chang said in surprise.
"There are even worse things!"
"Some more unscrupulous merchants mix sugar and water in a certain proportion, put them into a pot, simmer over low heat until boiling, and then stir constantly to make sure they are fully blended."
"After the sugar is completely dissolved, add the appropriate amount of food coloring and continue to stir until the color becomes bright and uniform. Then, they will carefully add a small amount of alum and stir gently to allow it to fully dissolve in the sugar water."
After a pause, Gu Changlin continued.
"Over time, the solution thickens to form a yellowish, thick liquid that is very similar in appearance to real honey, but has no nutritional value at all."
"Finally, these unscrupulous merchants will add some flavorings to make the fake honey taste more realistic, thus easily deceiving consumers' taste buds."
"This kind of honey not only has no nutritional value, but is harmful to the body if eaten!" Gu Changlin said with great sorrow!
After listening to Gu Changlin's words, Gu Chang recalled an incident that happened in the past.
In the past, his teacher Wang Linghai’s wife Li Wenman had fallen ill and needed to use honey as a medicine to regulate her body.
However, Wang Linghai searched for honey everywhere but could not find the right product. He went to many places in the market and tried to buy honey from various brands and sources, but he was disappointed every time. Either the product he bought was fake or the product was of very poor quality.
Later, Gu Chang bought some honey from Gu Changlin!
These are all honeys brewed by wild bees raised by Gu Changlin himself, real authentic wild honey!
Later, Gu Chang bought some honey for his master's wife several times.
It is because of this that Gu Chang and Gu Changlin gradually became familiar with each other!
Nowadays, when developing new products, the first thing Gu Chang thinks of is Gu Changlin and his honey!
Because Gu Changlin's honey is of superior quality, mellow taste, rich aroma, and does not contain any chemical substances, it is very much in line with modern people's demand for healthy food.
If this high-quality honey can be brought to the market, it will definitely be welcomed by consumers.
