Chapter 405: Beekeeping
"Oh, of course." Yi Donghong's face was filled with joy again, but then he hesitated and pinched his sleeves, saying nervously, "But I haven't cooked for decades, and I don't know if I'll forget the ingredients. What if it doesn't taste good? Wouldn't that embarrass you in front of your brothers?"
Shi Yong, who was standing next to him, laughed and said, "That's easy. I'll take the Patriarch to the library. There's a book there that teaches how to make steamed buns. The Longteng Steamed Bun Shop learned how to make steamed buns from that book. The Patriarch is so smart, he's sure to learn it right away."
He grinned as he spoke, and mentioned things in the village. "My brothers in the gang are still thinking about learning, but we've only just arrived in the Global Village, so our foundation is still shallow. We also want to earn some spirit coins as soon as possible to buy the Ability Awakening Agent so that the brothers with potential in the gang can also awaken their abilities, so this training has been delayed."
His mention of this reminded Yi Beiming of a brother in the village who was good at cooking named Zhangda. He then casually asked, "Is Zhangda also fighting monsters?"
As Yi Beiming's most trusted right-hand man, Shi Yong knew the brothers in the village like the back of his hand. He nodded immediately and said, "Yes, Xiaobei. Zhang Da had his potential tested at the card store before. He has the qualifications to awaken fire abilities, with a maximum upper limit of A, which can extend his life by 500 years. So he put down his spatula and followed the brothers to fight monsters. He said that he couldn't rely solely on our village's subsidies to give him money, and he also wanted to save up his own spirit coins to buy ability awakening potions."
"But Zhangda doesn't have much combat experience." Shi Yong touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed. "When we were in Chaos City, he just stayed in the village and did some cleaning and cooking. These past few days, he followed a group of brothers on the snowy mountain and didn't help much."
"Hmm." Yi Beiming narrowed his eyes thoughtfully and said calmly, "Then let him come back. Instead of going out to fight monsters, he might as well follow Tang En from the Tang family and go to Louwailou to learn cooking skills. He's good at cooking. Even if he's working for nothing now, he's still making money by learning cooking skills."
Compared to Zhang Da and Shi Yong, he had a longer-term vision. "Now that we can leave Exile Star, culinary masters are very popular in the outside world, and their desserts can fetch exorbitant prices. If we leave Exile Star, Zhang Da's culinary skills will be the entry point to help us integrate into the interstellar world and maximize our benefits."
"And I see that the desserts at Louwailou are very popular. Even if he doesn't leave Exile Star, Pengda can still make a lot of money by selling some desserts. Well, at least more than he makes from killing monsters."
Yi Beiming's eyes slanted as she looked at Shi Yong. "Tell him to come back. Our village will cover his expenses while he's learning the craft. Don't let him feel any burden and just focus on learning the craft."
Shi Yong grinned and said, "Okay, Xiaobei, I'll go now. You will accompany the master of the family. I..."
Yi Donghong smiled and waved at him, "You go ahead. I'm already an adult, so why should I worry about you? Xiaobei, go ahead and do your work. I can do it alone."
Yi Beiming didn't want to leave, "I've been with Grandpa. We haven't seen each other for so many years. Does Grandpa dislike me?"
The handsome uncle Yi Donghong's face was filled with anxiety, and he quickly denied it, "No, no, Grandpa is afraid of delaying your work."
Yi Beiming blinked and chuckled, "I was just joking with Grandpa, and it's rest time in the afternoon. I have nothing to do, so I'll accompany Grandpa. Grandpa is tired, let's go back and rest."
Yi Donghong relaxed after hearing this, and then he started laughing. He was very pleased that his grandson had grown up and became capable.
Not afraid of being slapped in the face, Yi Donghong shook his head and said, "Actually, I'm not very tired. Take me to the library to show me how to make buns. You have a lot of people working for you, so we have to get ready early and knead the dough and let it rise."
Yi Beiming smiled and didn't insist on going to rest. He followed his grandfather's words and said, "Okay, let's go to the library first."
Then Yi Beiming asked Shi Yong to go and tell Pengda first and bring Pengda back so that he could help his grandfather make dumplings later.
There are many brothers in Honglian Village and they have big appetites. Grandpa alone and another one of them can’t make so many buns, so we have to find an experienced person to help.
Three minutes later, the Yi family's grandfather and grandson arrived at the library and went straight to the building on the left where the practical guidance books were stored.
Then Yi Donghong opened a new door to the world.
In addition to the book "How to Make the Most Delicious Buns" that they were looking for before, Yi Donghong also took a fancy to books such as "Food Recipes", "Efficient Honey Breeding Technology", "Fish Pond Breeding Method, You Can Eat Fish in Winter", and "The Guide to Getting Rich".
As for food, Yi Donghong just wanted to learn how to cook some home-cooked meals for his grandson. He had average talent in cooking and couldn't make any extraordinary delicacies, so he didn't think about making money from cooking.
But you can learn the theoretical guidance in this book "The Book of Getting Rich" and learn some knowledge related to economic investment to be prepared for any eventuality.
Yi Donghong also felt that what he could do was to read the book called "Efficient Honey Breeding Technology". You know, the nectar of the elves is sold at a sky-high price. If they can also raise bees and collect honey, it means they have mastered the code to wealth.
Besides, bees are just a kind of insects. The Yi family is good at dealing with poisonous insects and raising insects, so he also knows how to raise bees.
After Yi Donghong glanced through the book, he felt that raising bees and harvesting honey was very promising and could be put into practice now.
As for the important link in the formation of honey, flowers.
There are no flowers in the Global Village, but he saw a lot of peach blossoms in Village Chief Yun’s Peach Blossom Spring. He can go to Village Chief Yun for cooperation. There are also many flowers in the Demon Refining Pot that his grandson mentioned, so there is no need to worry about the flowers.
The more Yi Donghong thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him. However, there was not much time left in the afternoon, and he had to go back to knead the dough to make dumplings. Otherwise, he would have to copy down the book and think about it carefully in the evening. It would be best to raise bees as soon as possible.
Yi Beiming watched his grandfather holding the book "Efficient Honey Breeding Technology" and looking reluctant to leave. After leaving the library, he smiled and asked, "Grandpa, do you want to raise bees?"
"Yeah." Yi Donghong nodded seriously with a happy look on his face.
Yi Beiming was a little hesitant. "But Grandpa doesn't have any Gu worms to protect himself now, so it's not safe. You can raise bees after you have Gu worms."
Yi Donghong's face turned serious. "No need. I haven't touched poisonous insects in years. It's hard to find some that I like right now. I'd better raise bees first. Besides, I'm in the Global Village. With you protecting me, nothing can go wrong."
Yi Beiming frowned, still a little worried. "I refined the Gu worms a while ago, and those few haven't yet deeply recognized their master. I'll give a few to Grandpa first."
"Okay." This time Yi Donghong did not object and agreed.
The Yi family's grandfather and grandson were both satisfied after reaching a consensus. They happily went back together to prepare the ingredients, intending to show off their cooking skills.
