After Liang Zi left, Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo returned to the villa.
"The honey we get today can be used to make many different kinds of delicious food."
We can also use it to pickle some fruit honey, which can then be steeped in water for a sweet and sour drink.
Honey egg crepe, honey osmanthus milk pudding, honey rice cake...
A hundred honey recipes popped into my head.
Jiang Li happily took out two beehives and cheerfully untied the bag.
Ye Jingmo brought over two large iron basins.
Jiang Li poured the honeycomb into the bag, but no matter how hard she tried, some honey that had seeped out still stuck to the bag.
The honey contained some remnants of honeycomb, making it appear somewhat cloudy.
To avoid wasting the honey, Jiang Li found a glass of water and rinsed the bag in it.
Jiang Li only threw the bag away after the honey stuck to it had completely dissolved in the water.
Pudding and jelly, smelling the sweet aroma of honey, all gathered around Jiang Li's feet.
Pudding opened her mouth, her tongue sticking out, saliva dripping down, her bright eyes filled with longing.
Jelly let out a gentle and sweet "meow," sitting obediently like Pudding, its fluffy tail occasionally brushing against Jiang Li's calves.
Seeing the two little ones' greedy expressions, Jiang Li chuckled and playfully flicked their heads.
"We've never skimped on food at home, have we?"
Why are you still so greedy?
Jiang Li used a filter to remove the impurities from the honey water.
The originally cloudy honey water turned into a golden yellow, like lemon.
She divided the water into four portions.
There's no need to add anything to the honey water for puddings and jellies; just give it to them directly.
As for her and Ye Jingmo's honey water, she added some crushed strawberries and mint to it.
The originally golden honey water turned orange, with red strawberry crumbs settling at the bottom and minty green on top.
With its red, orange, and green color scheme, this cup of honey water looks incredibly appealing.
Jiang Li couldn't wait to take a bite. The sweet and sour strawberry flavor mixed with the coolness of mint was very refreshing and appetizing.
She couldn't help but marvel at how delicious the honey from this mountain was.
After drinking it, she felt very comfortable all over, and it tasted much better than the honey she had bought before.
"Brother Mo, stop what you're doing and come have a glass of honey water first."
Seeing that Ye Jingmo did not move, Jiang Li took the honey water and went to his side.
Ye Jingmo is studying how to extract the honey from these two beehives.
They don't have the special tools for shaking honey.
Ye Jingmo stood up, took the cup from Jiang Li's hand, and drank it all in one gulp.
"tastes good."
Hearing the praise, Jiang Li's eyes crinkled into a smile.
Ye Jingmo leaned down and kissed the person's rosy lips.
Jiang Li's tightly pursed lips parted slightly as he stared blankly at the person so close to him. His movements were gentle yet carried an undeniable force.
When their lips parted, Jiang Li's face was flushed, and she buried her face in Ye Jingmo's neck.
Ye Jingmo gently stroked Jiang Li's back, a hint of pleasure flashing in his indifferent eyes. His Li Li was still so shy.
"Brother Mo, how are we going to extract honey from such a big beehive?"
"How about we cut it into slices?"
After waiting a moment, Jiang Li remembered the honeycomb in the basin that hadn't been processed yet.
She looked up and discussed it with Ye Jingmo.
"After cutting it into small pieces, put on gloves and squeeze out the honey."
Without the tools, it's quite difficult to avoid damage.
Ye Jingmo paused for a moment, then shared his thoughts.
Jiang Li took a kitchen knife from the kitchen and cut the honeycomb into roughly the same size planks.
The sharp blade cuts open the honeycomb, and the honey flows out along the cut.
At the same time, the white, twisted bee pupae were also visible inside the honeycomb.
Jiang Li felt a chill run down her spine, immediately grabbed a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Ye Jingmo, then pushed him to the edge of the basin.
Ye Jingmo?
"Brother Mo, take those bee pupae out of the honeycomb and put them in that small bowl."
Jiang Li didn't want honey containing swarms of dead bees.
She knew that bee pupae were very nutritious and, compared to other insects, quite clean and hygienic.
It's just a bit difficult to get her to accept and eat it.
Ye Jingmo shook his head helplessly, picked up the bee pupae with his chopsticks, and put them into the bowl.
Eating insects might be a difficult thing for humans to cross, but for animals, there are no limits.
The jelly was attracted by the bee pupae and wouldn't even drink the honey water.
It took small, quick steps to the edge of the bowl, brought its face close to it, and stuck out its barbed tongue.
It bit into several bee pupae and happily ate them.
Seeing the jelly's movements, Jiang Li wished she could jump up on the spot.
These are still live bee pupae!
The thought of the bee pupa bursting open in the jelly's mouth made Jiang Li realize that she didn't want the jelly to lick her with its tongue anymore.
This was too difficult for her, given her obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness.
Jiang Li picked up the jelly and placed it on the edge of the bowl.
Grabbing its little ears, I said, "You stay here obediently and don't go stealing bee pupae anymore."
Meow~
Hearing Jiang Li's criticism, Jelly unhappily put its paws on her hand, while its tail swished back and forth behind it.
"If you don't behave, I'll put you in a cage."
Jiang Li pointed at its nose with her finger and said fiercely.
Pudding moved closer to Jiang Li, hiding the jelly completely behind her back.
Wang ~
Don't be angry, Meow Meow didn't do it on purpose. I promise it will listen to me.
If you don't listen to me, then beat me up.
Jiang Li was both amused and exasperated by Pudding's protectiveness.
"Then you can all reflect on your actions in the cage for a while."
Jiang Li herded the jelly and pudding into the cage, intending to let them stay there for a while before taking them out.
After preparing the pudding and jelly, Jiang Li returned to Ye Jingmo's side.
Jiang Li looked at the honey in the honeycomb that was clearly whitish and felt something was off.
What is this off-white honey?
She pointed to the beehive and looked down to ask Ye Jingmo.
"That should be royal jelly, the food that bees use to feed the future queen bee."
This has a higher nutritional value than regular honey.
Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo looked at each other, and Jiang Li nodded knowingly as she listened to his words.
So this is royal jelly!
Jiang Li squatted down and carefully examined the honeycomb containing off-white honey.
This certainly cannot be mixed with regular honey.
She took out a transparent glass bottle from her storage space, sterilized it, and gave it to Ye Jingmo.
Jiang Li specially found the smallest spoon and, together with Ye Jingmo, scooped out the royal jelly from the honeycomb.
Fortunately, there were relatively few beehives containing royal jelly. After working for an hour, Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo dug out all the royal jelly.
Of course, the remaining honey cannot be processed using this method.
It's too time-consuming and laborious.
Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo put on gloves, treated the beehive like clay, and squeezed out the honey with force.
This way, the process won't take much time.
However, the honey produced contained honeycomb and some impurities.
Jiang Li wiped the honey off her gloves.
The main point is to avoid wasting any part of the product.
She took out a glass bottle, placed a strainer on it, and Ye Jingmo poured honey into it from the basin.
After the magazine was filtered, they obtained five bottles of crystal-clear honey.
