Chapter 127 (continued)
Yan Kexing laughed, "What other kind of sugar do you want to add?"
Shi Wen, "I originally wanted to add honey, but the honey flavor is too strong; it's not suitable to add honey at this time."
Shi Wen put a large spoonful of sugar in each of their bowls, and when they tasted it again, the soy milk was smooth, fragrant, and sweet, and it was indeed a level of deliciousness.
Shi Wen, holding a bowl, sighed, "For breakfast, I only need three bowls of soy milk; I don't need to eat anything else."
"You've been so busy at work this morning, you should have something else to tide you over." Yan Kexing he finished his soy milk and went to make breakfast. "You should share some of the soy milk with the other little ones; they're practically protesting."
Shi Wen turned around, he saw the little ones squatting by the door, drooling.
Upon seeing Shi Wen, Heiwa led the way, barking, "Woof!"
Alright, let's hurry up and divide them up.
Shi Wen poured the soy milk out of the blender and blended it again.
This soy milk is mainly used to make tofu pudding and tofu.
After finishing their morning chores, the two sat down at the dining table to eat breakfast.
Shi Wen took a sip of soy milk and said, "I'll go check if there's any honey today. If there is, I'll go and get some."
Yan Kexing: "Do you need any help?"
"No need, I can handle it myself," Shi Wen laughed. "They're all experienced; harvesting honey won't be difficult for them."
The bees in his hive have gotten used to his presence; even without smoke, they won't sting him when he gets close.
Of course, for safety reasons, he would still wear a bee suit and carry a bundle of straw to fumigate the area as much as possible.
After the two finished breakfast, they went to work, and the little ones followed them.
In August, the grasslands are thriving, possessing a beauty that suggests everything has reached its peak of maturity.
Shi Wen about the honey harvesting, I realized that this was the best month for the harvest this year.
Although the twelve hives that swarmed out only settled in last month, they have already produced enough fruit to swarm again.
Fortunately Shi Wen came to harvest the honey in time today.
Shi Wen the beehives were opened one by one, the rich aroma of honey wafted far and wide.
The dogs grazing nearby were almost drawn over.
While craving honey, they diligently fulfilled their duties as sheepdogs, howling across the grasslands, a sight that was both amusing and pitiful Shi Wen watch.
As he walked back carrying the honey, he called over the dogs that were grazing nearby and gave each of them a piece to savor.
Shi Wen originally thought that bringing two buckets would be enough, but he didn't expect there to be so much honey. He carried one load of honey back and brought two empty buckets back, and finally managed to fill all the honey.
When he harvested the honey, he selected only the mature honey and tested it with test strips to ensure it met the maturity standard before harvesting it. He left a lot of immature honey in the hive.
If he harvested as much honey as possible from the hives as a typical beekeeper, the harvest could be doubled.
Having harvested so much honey, he sat in the yard filtering it and putting it into sealed jars.
The little creatures, including Cong Zai, the snow leopard cub, and the fox cub, who were playing in the yard, couldn't stay still any longer. One or two of them ran over and sat properly at his feet, begging for food with all sorts of whistling sounds.
For a time, sounds like "hissing," "woofing," "meowing," and "meowing" filled the air.
The little guys can eat honey, as long as it's not too much, it won't harm their health.
Shi Wen occasionally filter the honey and toss small chunks of honey into them.
They will jump up and snatch the honey chunks away before they even hit the ground.
When Yan Kexing returned, he saw this scene.
He walked over, took a small piece of honey from the bucket, popped it into his mouth, tasted it, and remarked, "This honey tastes even better."
Shi Wen, "Perhaps because summer is the peak blooming season, there are many newly opened flowers on the grassland, resulting in more nectar sources and a more complex aroma in the honey."
Even though it's the same batch of bees, the aroma of the honey varies subtly each time they collect nectar, a difference that even the bees themselves cannot replicate.
Therefore, Shi Wen storing honey, it is common practice to set aside two or three jars from each batch.
Each batch of honey is unique, Shi Wen often try to save a little extra for the little ones in my family to try.
Yan Kexing: "Approximately how much honey is there this time?"
Shi Wen, "It's impossible to determine at the moment, but it's likely to weigh around 50 or 60 kilograms."
"So much?" Yan Kexing said, looking at the filtered honey. "With just this one harvest, this year's beekeeping business is already profitable."
Shi Wen up and smiled, "That's what I think too. This year has truly been a bumper year."
Yan Kexing: "Should this batch of honey be put on the shelves?"
Their app is already up and running, and they've even put Bresley's eggs on the shelves.
Bress chicken eggs sell well; they cost 300 for a box of 30, and they usually sell out as soon as they're put on the shelves.
Although they currently only have twenty-eight members.
If his family were willing to put honey on the shelves, it would probably sell out very quickly.
Shi Wen hearing this, Shi Wen hesitated for a moment. "Do you remember the Ganoderma lucidum we picked before? I read in some information that soaking Ganoderma lucidum in honey can achieve good results."
Yan Kexing: "You want to use this batch of honey to soak Ganoderma lucidum?"
Shi Wen, "Keep half of the Ganoderma lucidum soaked in the water, and store the other half away so that it can be put back on the shelves slowly when there's not much to sell in winter?"
Yan Kexing: "That works too."
Shi Wen, "The problem now is that it's not easy to buy good Ganoderma lucidum on the market. How about we go and harvest Ganoderma lucidum again? After half a year of growth, there should be new Ganoderma lucidum growing in the Linzi."
"We'll go if you want to," Yan Kexing said, quickly making a mental list of plans. "How about this weekend? We can go out for two days; the weather isn't too cold, so we can go camping."
