Chapter 46: Difficult
Wild honeycombs are actually lighter in color, and the surface is covered with beeswax, so the taste is a little bitter and not that sweet.
Bai Mengmeng simply crushed two pieces and distributed them to the disciples.
"Why does it smell a little off?" Wang Hao also got a piece, sniffed it carefully, and frowned: "It smells quite good, and it seems delicious."
Liangcha couldn't help it anymore, so he opened his mouth and took a bite. Immediately, a sweet taste spread in his mouth.
The aftertaste is also particularly interesting. It feels sour at first, and then a little bitter, but it does not affect the flavor. Instead, it makes the honey even more delicious.
After eating, Liangcha spit out the beeswax very skillfully. This thing cannot be swallowed.
Bai Mengmeng watched Liangcha eating so happily and quickly took a few pieces over. She thought that all the credit for getting so much honey went to him.
She herself doesn't like sweet things very much, and eating honey directly is a bit too sweet.
So she gave the most complete piece of honeycomb to Liangcha. For the next honeycomb, she planned to remove the beeswax and squeeze out the honey.
It needs to be cooked or mixed into a drink as soon as possible. This kind of honey cannot be kept for too long because it contains a lot of impurities.
Huaguduo was not very interested in honey, but when she saw Bai Mengmeng cutting beeswax, she found it very interesting.
She hasn't been doing any live broadcasts during this period, but has been shooting short videos every day. So when she got inspiration, she just shot a related video.
The honeycombs we picked this time don't look very big, but are in pieces. Each piece of honeycomb is covered with beeswax and is full of honey.
Bai Mengmeng took a small knife and gently scraped off the wax on the surface. Suddenly, a lot of crystal clear golden liquid flowed down, which looked very beautiful.
“It feels very stress-relieving.”
The flower bud was also watching with great interest, especially when seeing the golden honey dripping down. It felt like the knife was scratching its itch, and it quickly took a picture of the scene.
Bai Mengmeng cooperated very well and took several shots with Huaguduo. She scraped the wax many times horizontally and vertically, hoping to peel off the wax as perfectly as possible and let the honey flow completely into the container she prepared.
Then the remaining honeycombs are crushed little by little and put into gauze for filtering to squeeze out the last bit of honey.
The honey didn't look very dirty, so we ended up filling two large jars.
"Let's keep this wild honey for ourselves."
Bai Mengmeng plans to keep these two jars of honey.
These honeys have high nutritional value, are good for the stomach, and can moisten the lungs and intestines. Making a cup of them in the morning is good for the whole body.
At the end, there was half a bowl of wild honey with a lot of impurities, and Bai Mengmeng planned to roast a chicken.
…
At night, Qiongye Restaurant closed down, closed the yard door, and moved the grill into the yard.
After the fat hen was prepared and seasoned, it was marinated for an hour. Then Bai Mengmeng stuffed onions, ginger, garlic and other things into the chicken's stomach to remove the fishy smell.
When the charcoal fire began to burn, Bai Mengmeng hung the chicken on the grill and rotated it to grill it.
As the temperature rises little by little, the chicken skin begins to turn golden brown, and drops of oil flow down and fall into the charcoal fire, making crackling sounds.
"Roasted chicken wings are my favorite, but your mother said you're going to die..."
Bai Mengmeng hummed a strange tune and slowly brushed golden wild honey on the chicken's body, covering every corner little by little to ensure that no place was left out.
The chicken is already very fragrant, and after being brushed with honey, it becomes golden and shiny, which makes people's appetite increase.
"Who should get the chicken leg?" Seeing that the chicken was almost cooked, Bai Mengmeng began to divide the chicken.
She exerted a little force, and a large, greasy and slippery chicken leg was torn off along with the skin. The meat inside had already softened and looked fat and tender. The golden fat flowed directly along the meat into Bai Mengmeng's hands.
"I want it! Give it to me, give it to me!" Wang Hao's saliva was almost flowing at this time.
The other people were drinking homemade peach honey water, and they all had beautiful expressions on their faces, so they didn't bother to compete with him.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Boss, is anyone there?"
Bai Mengmeng gave the chicken leg to Wang Hao, quickly wiped her hands and went to open the door.
Outside the yard, the person knocking on the door was Xiao Li, who lived in the temple. Bai Mengmeng had a deep impression of him because he had spent two thousand yuan to buy dried mushrooms once before and had often come to pack up vegetarian dishes in the past two days.
"I'm really sorry, we're closed today. I think I've already told you in the WeChat group?" Bai Mengmeng felt a little embarrassed.
Xiao Li was about to cry at this time: "Boss, can you please cook something? The chef is away for the past two days, and my boss hasn't eaten for two days. If he doesn't eat something, he's probably going to starve to death!"
"What? Don't you have any other chefs in mind?" Bai Mengmeng was surprised.
Xiao Li shook his head. "There are other chefs, but our boss can't eat the food they cook. He used to prefer stir-fried dried mushrooms. Can you make some?"
"We don't have dried mushrooms in our restaurant." After saying this, seeing Xiao Li's disappointed face, Bai Mengmeng suggested, "How about making something else?"
Xiao Li finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Any other dishes are fine, as long as they are vegetarian. The boss loves your vegetables the most. I only let him eat the vegetable gift packs I bought before."
Bai Mengmeng frowned and thought. She also knew that the other boss was very picky about food, and he hadn't eaten anything in the past two days. If he ate something too greasy, it might be harmful.
I just got some wild honey, which is just right for nourishing my stomach. I can make some Qianlong cabbage and serve it with rice. It should be fine.
The so-called Qianlong cabbage is actually not something very complicated. It is just a very simple vegetarian dish that does not require any broth.
Bai Mengmeng was digging into the heart of the cabbage and gossiping with Xiao Li.
"It seems your boss has been living in the temple. Is he a devout believer?"
Xiao Li helped out: "Oh, not really, but as you know, rich people always have some weird habits."
Bai Mengmeng seemed to understand, but she didn't know what she was thinking. "That's true. It seems that being an assistant for you is certainly not easy either."
This resonated deeply with Xiao Li, who couldn't help but grumble, "That's right. What young master would want to become a monk in a temple? He's either complaining about this dish not being fresh or that dish being a little dirty. It feels like raising a princess isn't this much work."
