"Little Cloud, here you go. Now, it's time to retrieve the queen bee, isn't it?" Chen Pingan unharmed took the beehive down and handed it to Cloud, then looked at Cloud with anticipation, waiting to see her retrieve the queen bee.
Perhaps it was Yun Duo who had been making the moves all along, so subconsciously, Chen Ping felt that taking the throne should also be Yun Duo's responsibility.
"Lend me your knife, we forgot to bring it today. We could have taken it back to get it, but... we can't let you help us for nothing. I want to share some of the honey in this hive with you, so let's get it here." Knowing that Xiao Jiu was there, the nearby bees wouldn't be taken away by others, and Yun Duo didn't care whether Chen Ping and the others would actually learn anything from her. Therefore, she directly asked Chen Ping for a knife and started cutting open the hive.
Xiao Jiu had scouted this beehive beforehand and made some arrangements. The queen bee and young bees were in the lower half, while the honey was mainly in the upper half. Therefore, Yun Duo simply cut the beehive in half, dividing it into two halves. Then she handed the lower half of the beehive to Yun Dazheng and said, "Grandpa, take this piece and see if there's a queen bee inside." Then she cut the lower half in half again and gave one half to Chen Ping and one half to Chen Aijun.
"Oh, there's honey too! Little Cloud, you're so kind, thanks!" Chen Ping was surprised by this unexpected delight, but he immediately reached out and took the honeycomb. He even scooped up the dripping honey with his hand, licked it, and smacked his lips, saying, "So sweet."
Chen Aijun was a little embarrassed. Although he longed for it, he waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "This...this won't do...I didn't do anything. You guys keep it, keep it for yourselves..."
Yun Duo smiled and said, "It's alright, future brother-in-law. You helped out, so you should share the spoils. Besides, we get a share too. Grandpa and I have already shared half, and the rest is yours and Chen Ping's."
Chen Ping immediately chimed in, "Yes, if you don't want them, just give them to me. I won't mind. Anyway, I've done more work than you."
Upon hearing Chen Ping's words, Chen Aijun reached out and took the honey that Yun Duo handed him, saying, "So what if you've done more than me? If it weren't for Yun Duo and Grandpa Yun, would you have been able to find this place? Even if you had, would you have dared to take it? This was given to me by Duo'er, why should I give it to you?"
As she spoke, she carefully lifted the honeycomb to prevent the honey from dripping. Then she said to Yunduo, "Duo'er, thank you so much! Look, I didn't do anything, and you gave me so much honeycomb, at least two pounds. I feel so embarrassed..."
"Pretentious." Chen Ping pouted, then broke off a piece of honeycomb full of honey and stuffed it into his mouth, eating with a look of complete satisfaction. Judging from his appearance, he had almost forgotten about the queen bee.
"The queen bee is here, Duo'er. Go get a leaf. We'll put the queen bee in the hive." Yun Dazheng quickly found the queen bee and took it out.
Yun Duo quickly picked a relatively wide leaf and placed the queen bee on it. Chen Ping and Chen Aijun couldn't help but crane their necks to see what the queen bee looked like. Chen Ping, in particular, practically wanted to fix his eyes on the queen bee. He couldn't help but ask, "Little Yun Duo, is this enough? With a queen bee, can we start beekeeping?"
Yun Duo glanced at Chen Ping with a half-smile and said, "Of course it still needs management, but that's our technology, and we can't tell you."
